Battle

As soon as the MC finished his words and disappeared, Nightbeast shapeshifted himself into a mutated wolf with 6 legs and ran around Firesoul, seemingly trying to probe her.

The latter didn't move around and only stood in one place, her eyes followed Nightbeast each time he passed through her vision.

After a while, the Nightbeast lunged at Firesoul from behind trying to bite her. But Firesoul predicted this and jumped to her left and rolled on the ground before standing up again.

A hint of displeasure flickered in Nightbeast's eyes as he started running around searching for a blind spot to strike again. He only managed to move around the coliseum once before a column of fire shot out in the direction he was moving.

Nightbeast was flustered by the sudden attack but quickly transformed into an eagle and flew up high to dodge the attack.

Nighbeast felt cold sweat on his back from Firesoul's attack, he couldn't get close to her due to her ability.

After thinking carefully about his plan, he started to dive down at an astonishing speed directly toward Firesoul.

The latter scoffed at the former's attempt and fired out a ball of flame directly in his direction. Nightbeast merely tilted his body aside to avoid the incoming fireball and increased his descending speed even further to Firesoul.

The red hair woman saw this and started to continuously send hundred of fireballs in Nightbeast's direction. The eagle was able to almost dodge all of them but got hit on the side by one that was in his blind spot. A hint of pain appeared on the eagle's face but Nighbeast quickly shook it off and continued to dive down.

Firesoul noticed that the distance between her and Nighbeast was too close now and started running away. She only managed to run for a few meters before Nighbeast transformed into a giant gorilla and smashed the ground, creating a crater along with a shockwave that sent Firesoul to one of the walls of the Colosseum.

The spectators cheered loudly at the sight of her coming into contact with the wall.

"FUCK HER UPPP!!!!"

"GREAT BLOW!"

Firesoul coughed up a mouthful of blood as her vision started to become blurry and hazy. She didn't allow herself to remain on the ground but stood up with wobbling steps, she saw Nighbeast transformed into a mutated wolf again and jumped in her direction.

Just as Nightbeast was about to bite Firesoul into pieces, she created a cyclone of flames and sent it flying in the wolf's direction, he tried to jump back to a corner of the coliseum in horror. Unfortunately for him, the flames managed to come into contact with one of his feet as he started rolling in his wolf form, trying to extinguish the fire.

Firesoul saw Nightbeast rolling on the ground and started dragging her battered body in his direction, she thought that she might have broken one of her ribs and her left arm when colliding with that wall earlier.

She arrived near Nightbeast who was about to fully extinguish the flame on his body, she outstretched her hands and channeled her remaining essences to finish off Nightbeast.

"Argh!"

Firesoul suddenly froze in her place as she felt the surrounding air tremble slightly, a deadly aura directly assaulted her, making her unable to breathe. It was like a conqueror, dominator was looking down on her like an insignificant insect.

Nightbeast was finally able to put out the fire and stood up in his wolf form, he looked at Firesoul and was surprised to see her staying in one place without doing anything. He was wondering why Firesoul suddenly reacted weirdly but soon realized that this was the perfect opportunity to emerge victorious.

He turned into the giant gorilla again and used all his strength to swing his right arm to her left side. Firesoul snapped out of her trance but before she was able to make heads and tails of what was going on, she noticed a hand heading towards her direction.

She raised her arms to try and block the blow out of instinct but the hand was able to reach her body first.

Bang!

She was sent flying across the coliseum and slammed onto a wall again, the poor woman wasn't even able to make a sound as her body turned into a bloody pulp on the wall.

Boom!

The audience was silent for 10 seconds before the MC appeared at the battleground and pointed at Nightbeast:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our victor is none other than.....NIGHTBEASTTT!!!"

"YEAHHHH!!!!"

"THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR!!"

"I'M RICH BABY!!"

"HAHAHA, THAT'S NIGHTBEAST FOR YOU!"

Cheers started erupting from the audience as they screamed in joy while some others holding their chests in pain, questioning their choices and why Lady Luck abandoned them.

In one particular corner of the colosseum, a figure wearing a hoodie covering his face while crossing his legs, and his arms folded in front of his chest was looking calmly at Nightbeast.

A corner of his lips lifted slightly as he muttered in a small voice that no one else could hear:

"That was a close one..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some time later, at a reception desk of the Colosseum.

A line of people was standing in front of it as they waited for the staff to finish handing their money.

Achilles stood in front of a fat man waiting for him to finish taking his money with a bored look.

He thought back about the battle and couldn't help but felt relieved by his timely intervention, otherwise, he would be crying like an infant right now for losing his money.

'That fool Nightdog is an actual living moron, can't believe he just let arrogance get into his head and charged straight at his opponent without thinking about the consequences.'

Achilles chose Nightbeast because he thought that with his ability to shapeshift, he would have a lot of advantages in the battle if used wisely. But the moron actually dropped down his guard and just charged straight at his enemy without hesitation. This made him naturally very upset since he had to use his ability to ensure his victory.

'That dumbass should kneel down and thank this father for saving him since I am such a kind-hearted man.' He thought jokingly.

Achilles stopped his train of thought after seeing the fat man in front of him finish his business and he went up to the employee. He put the ticket from before on the table and said with a polite smile:

"I'd like to take my tokens please."
