Chapter 176: The Battle Of Creation and Destruction [5]
***
A large rumbling boom carried out in the stadium, shaking everyone to the core.
The two opposing energies destroyed everything around them.
Fortunately, Arthur was there to easily protect the audience.
While the participants...
Amon felt a blinding white light assault his vision as he was swept away in the blast.
Pain shot up through his whole body as he was unable to make sense of where he was.
It felt as if every muscle fiber of his body was being ripped apart.
His skin burnt and his heart pounded against his chest in pain as he felt his head throb in pain.
It felt as if it would burst right out.
The pain that carried throughout his body at that moment felt like an eternity.
Amon couldn't make sense of anything.
Where was he?
Who was around him?
He couldn't even feel the stadium's floor anymore, knowing the whole stage had been converted into particles with the sheer power of the blast.
Fortunately, the pain inside him started to die out when the blinding light started to settle down.
Barely opening his eyes, Amon squinted at the light, unable to see what happened.
As they finally adjusted though, what Amon saw that moment was pure and utter destruction. The entire stadium stage had been obliterated into pieces with only two exceptions.
One was the spot where Amon was standing...
And the second was where Michael was currently leaning against the stadium wall, his head leaning down.
Blood continuously came out of his mouth, dripping and staining the fresh grass.
Amon looked at himself.
Or more precisely at his body, which was also covered in cracks.
Looking up, there was no need for Amon to confirm it with someone.
The winner of the clash was Amon.
He had clearly overpowered Mikey, who was now unconscious outside of the stadium with his back to the wall.
Amon saw the medics rushing toward him as well, something he didn't want to do.
Despite how tired and exhausted he was.
Fortunately for Amon, there was a man who came to quickly save him.
"I'll see to it, you guys can go back." Arthur waved his cane and the medic staff left the area.
Looking into Arthur's eyes, Amon saw his lips pull up into a crazy smile, something unable to be seen from above.
"You crazy bastard...." Three words left his lips.
Amon didn't say anything though.
He had put on a show enough for the cadets and the audience alike to see.
And so now, he wasn't afraid of the backlash.
But even then. Amon looked at Arthur with a side-eye.
"Can we go somewhere else?" Amon asked Arthur.
"Yeah, sure." Arthur replied, placing his hand on his shoulder.
And then, both of them melted into the shadows.
Completely missing the congratulations shout of the referee.

Liliana stared below at the grounds with shocked eyes.
She couldn't find herself to believe it.
At all.
No matter how many times a certain person would repeat it to her, she found herself refusing
to believe it.
But she had to accept it.
Because it didn't matter if she wanted to refuse it.
The fact was that everything was right in front of her.
To accept it.
To understand that, the two, most low life creatures of society...
Were penta-elementals.
Bullshit. Liliana cursed internally.
It was impossible for someone to be this strong as what he was despite being a commoner.
How?
Why?
Liliana gritted her teeth in disgust.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The previous taste of her defeat where Elizabeth had completely honored her by going all out still lingered on her tongue.
She hated it.
But as if that wasn't enough dirt on her face, the man she hated with every fiber of her being...
Was the world's first penta-elemental?"
'No. It must have been planned all along.'
'It was a cheat or someone collaborated all along.' Liliana was put into denial.
"No, fucking, way, is that trash a duo elemental clovist, let alone penta elements.
She did like Michael and Amon's hard work.
But their attitudes...
Liliana ground her teeth in disgust and anger.
Especially that bastard...
She would make sure to completely eradicate his face off the earth when she would fight him.
'Amon Ashford, you bastard.'

Arriving at the usual house of Arthur, Amon sneezed.
"Who is talking about me?" He asked jokingly and Arthur turned back.
"Must be a woman. Your performance did throw them into a frenzy."
Amon couldn't refute that.
After all, even he heard the screams and shrieks while fighting Michael.
But of course, he ignored them.
Entering a room for now, Amons stumbling walked into the bathroom.
Removing his dress, he immediately noticed the cracks spreading on his body.
Fortunately, Zephyra quickly spoke up to calm him.
[It's fine. Just wait it out and they will heal by himself.]
Amon nodded.
'Okay.'
He looked at himself in the mirror.
After the [Void Training] and multiple rank ups, Amon's face was...
No, the whole beauty of Amon was boosted.
He often spotted girls trying to sneak glances at him. Or sometimes confessing at him straight
up.
Of course, he had denied them all.
He didn;t have any time for love or sight.
He had more things to worry about. On how to survive in this world, he looked at the dark bags
under his eyes.
He was stressed.
Rather, the last time he even slept properly was a month ago.
But Amon didn't care.
As long as he could accomplish what he wanted.
The prism crown and [Void Bond] had also faded away.
Throwing some water on his face, Amon quickly fixed his hair and tried to conceal the bags
under his eyes.
Like always.
'Perfect' He thought.
Then, he heard out of the bathroom and walked into the living room to find Athena and
Amelia also on the couch.
Athena spoke up first.
"That was one reveal you did back there." SHe said calmly, a subtle smile on her face.
Amon scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Thanks."
"Truly. What a great fight it was." Amelia joined in.
It was then that Arthur entered the room and Amon turned to him as well.
After all, there was one question that kept plaguing his mind.
Especially after 'that'.
And so he asked Arthur.
"What happened to Michael? Is he good?"
