Derek Vs Ezra!

The 16 year old beauty behind him also appeared confused as she glanced at the young man walking majestically to his seat.

"I-I have no idea. The Talent Testing revealed Talent of 0.9 which is barely enough to merge with the weakest beast. Maybe the machine was wrong, Master."

Envoy Kaeden's eyes flashed but he simply smiled. "It's useless anyways. Just a silver grade beast isn't enough."

The battle between Ezra and Mythril quite intense but it had ended rather quickly for the audience.

However, the next battle was very intense, adding to the excitement, both of their battling styles were quite similar, each movement was brutal and efficient without a second thought; at times, the audience thought there might have been a personal matter involved since the two were obviously trying to kill each other.

"Ingor, if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being a lower-level!" Finally, Henry brought out his top moves, he threw two claw attacks in a row and blew away Ingor who was still struggling to win.

"Henry win!"

In about 20 minutes, the match up battle continued and then the Principal suddenly stood up and said.

"Good. Now, there are still four contestants left, they are Bane, Ezra, Derek and Annette. The first battle is between Bane and Annette then Derek versus Ezra. Whoever wins would enter the final battle and compete against the winner of the other round to determine the champion of the tournament. Then, there will be a battle for deciding the second and the third places, any questions?" Principal Cane scanned through the four contestants.

The four contestants, including Ezra, all shook their heads.

The Principal started to talk again: "If so, then you guys can go take a fifteen minutes break. Try to recover some of your strength, so that you will not run out of it later."

Finished speaking, he sat down and started drinking his tea.

In the arena, the remaining four looked at each other. Bane especially glared at Ezra. Ezra had humiliated him, beaten him and his lackey while killing their Symbiote.

The death of a Symbiote could actually destroy the mind of the host. If it weren't for his father giving him the Mind-stabilizing potion, he would have never been in the right mind for this competition.

Ezra was completely unfazed by all of this and went back to his seat to rest.

"Bane, right now, you've only used 50 percent of your strength, am I right?" Annette suddenly spoke. She was trying to probe the true strength of her competitor.

Bane retracted his gaze from Ezra and spoke. "No one could make me use more than 50 percent of my strength."

"Sixty percent? Don't flatter yourself. Once I finished dealing with Ezra, I will show you the might of my Symbiote." Derek sneered.

The final battles had not yet begun, but the students could already feel the intense atmosphere.

Derek breath was slightly hurried. Right up to this point, he realized he was not only fighting for the champion position anymore. He felt like he was fighting to prove himself among this crowd of geniuses.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Before the notification from the stage AI, Derek and Ezra had already came onto the stage and stood facing each other with about ten meters distance between them.

"Don't put in too much useless effort. You are definitely not worthy to be my opponent. After beating you, I will have to beat Annette and Bane so just give up." Dereck could not wait to battle with Bane which completely killed any interest in fighting Ezra no matter how surprising he was, all he wanted was to finish this battle as soon as possible so he could face Bane.

Ezra said: "Being impulsive is the number one mistake for any warrior. For that, you have already lost."

Dereck suddenly merged with his Symbiote and his voice rumbled like thunder.

"Cut the crap, just admit defeat already!"

"Start!"

The moment the robotic voice sounded, the entire stage shook violently as Derek stomped his feet on the ground like a hammer.

He activated Earth shattering charge without even feeling out his opponent first.

The Stonerhino lowered its head, tusks gleaming like polished steel. With a ground-shaking bellow, it charged.

The Stonerhino's Earthshatter Charge split the stage, debris flying like shrapnel as he moved with the force of a thousand ton.

Ezra's eyes flashed as he linked into the body of his beast. His body grew from the 1 meter sheep to a terrifying 2.5 meters tall Ancient Bloodhoof Wrathram!

"ROOOOAR!"

A terrifying roar rang out through the entire stadium as rage, bloodlust and battle intent radiated off Ezra like a dam.

His crimson eyes locked in on the incoming Stonerhino charging at him like a tank.

However, instead of using his terrifying speed to move out of the way, Ezra stomped his feet to the ground heavily.

The ground meant his feet shattered as he bent his knees.

"What!?"

"Don't, don't tell me he wants to actually Dereck's charge with his body!"

"That's impossible! Even a level-IV Symbiote could barely stop Stonerhino's Earthshatter Charge! It's almost a thousand ton of force swinging at full speed."

Seeing this, Dereck smiled coldly. He was afraid Ezra would dodge with his agility. But he didn't expect Ezra was so hot blooded.

But it was to be expected, linking with a higher grade monster corrupts the mind, every merge, the violence from the beast affects the host mind, making them slightly more hot tempered and hot blooded.

The stage trembled with each step the massive Stonerhino took and everyone, including the audience watched with interest and excitement on what would happen.
