Master Of None

The next large breath that Midnight took was not the same as the first. She knew that Leon was expecting flames so she waited until she saw him move to spin the spear. However, the frost that left her mouth was enough to freeze the water that became his shield.

This attack was enough to freeze the spear in to Leon's hand. He had decent resistances to the cold because he had lived in some very deep water. Most merfolk had a very high cold resistance. Yet, the unexpected change in moves gave Midnight the chance to jump forward and breathe flames on to her claws. The heat caused the ice to crack and Leon to be knocked away.

To follow up, Midnight was already spinning her tail toward Leon. If he had not rolled back he would have been in a position to lose the fight immediately. "I forgot you had more than just fire to use against people." Leon smiled. This fight was interesting., it was changing from second to second making it extremely fun.

"I had this specially made for a new fighting style." Leon dropped the spear he was so used to using on the ground. It was unbalanced because of the ice on it so he knew it would slow his ability to fight. What he pulled off of his back were a pair of short spears that fit perfectly in each of his hands.

The stance that Leon took made it clear that he could both attack and defend at the same time. It also showed that he was able to switch fighting styles in the middle of a battle. Something that many would struggle with due to their mindsets.

The change brought many in the audience to their feet. They weren't sure how this change had occurred but they liked it. One spear that Leon wielded pierced forward while the other arced towards Midnight's side. It was a double pronged attack that would have taken many warriors down in a blink of an eye.

"Midnight on the other hand was not an average warrior. She had her skeletal armor skill and her claws. One spear was stopped by a single slash of her claws sending Leon's piercing attack toward the ground. The other spear hit the tough bone that formed around her scales. Barely even a scratch was left behind.

"I think it's time for me to get a little more serious then." Leon used his skill to pull the water elemental mana around the two spears. The next moment brought multiple piercing water attacks towards Midnight. The rate seemed to keep increasing and increasing without any room for Midnight to defend.

The attacks were causing small scratches to build up on the bone armor she had summoned around her. It wasn't looking good for her until an energy within her began to rise. She felt that this was wrong. She was a dragon. A champion of her species. She was able to fight monsters much stronger than her, so how could she lose to someone that wasn't even in the best shape?

The growl that Midnight started with became an echoing roar. Her wings flapped out and her head arched up. The roar was so powerful that many could feel their seats shake. It was the single loudest roar that Walker had ever heard from Midnight. Even his dragon's intimidation skill did not get so loud.

"I see your champion is finally using her roar properly. There must have been enough pressure to reach that level." Mordant seemed glad to witness the moment that Midnight had finally accepted her role as a dragon champion above all others. Her roar of domination made everyone shake. The other arenas were paused in their battles because of it. No barrier would hold back such a sound.

Golden flames spilled from Midnight's mouth with every breath. She was letting her unique golden flame heart act as the center of her strength. The result was an arena slowly heating up against Leon. He attempted to pull at the water in the air only to find that it was remaining in an evaporated state. He was at a complete disadvantage in such a terrain.

​ "This is why my people have never traveled near volcanoes or lava. I will have to give this victory to you. A wise move." Leon saw that they would be in danger. There was only so much heat a merfolk body could take without water nearby to replenish what they were losing.

Upon hearing that Leon had given up, Midnight stopped immediately and changed elemental dragon breaths. The cool frost breath was much more controlled so that it would only cool Leon down without causing him any harm.

"Now there is your show of strength from two of our unique warriors in Genesis. Who said that a merfolk could not stand toe to toe with another warrior on land?! Who was it that said Midnight was too young to stand up and fight!? Not a soul can speak these words. They are powerful central figures to every single citizen!"

Scylla spoke up again seeing that Leon was in a bad situation and the match was over. However, she didn't seem done. There were many of the first round fights coming to an end. She turned her eyes toward the crowd.

"Speaking of powerful central figures, we have two that are avoiding battles here today. Two that I have been waiting to see fight it out in our brand new arena. What does the crowd say to seeing two more people join the competition as special guest battles!?" The roar of the crowd's cheering was too intense.

"Why is it that we can't escape these things?" Gil felt his peace had run away from him.

"I knew it would happen but I had hoped that we would have more time to enjoy the matches first. I really like seeing the mages…" Walker sighed as Scylla moved toward them.
