The Earth-shattering battle.

Writer(s): Starblazer

The terrifying shockwave expanded and drowned everything in it’s wake. A cloak of dust wafted about, obscuring everyone’s sight, faint flickers of light often appears and disappears as if a ghost specter, each time, the flicker appears, a tremor shook the arena. Bright light poured out from the dust, archaic runic symbols, it looked as if tiny snakes of light were writhing and twisting, it suddenly lit up and dyed the surroundings in it’s splendor. At this point, the dust had settled, two figures flitted across the stage.

# BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

The runic symbols brightened up seemingly a sun spreading it’s radiance, the spectators shielded their eyes. The light rays dimmed and reverted to normal, the two figures were at opposite sides of the stage. The crowd and spectators gasped, both parties looked disheveled, blood poured from their mouths, splattering the stage.

“H-h-he actually fought Zarny to this extent” A shocked shout rippled into the crowd.

“T-this is intense. Just who is that savage beast?”

“I don’t know who he is but this should be the most legendary battle among the younger generation”

The eyes of the crowd flickered from shock to admiration. At first, they had prejudice with Lord Jason but this wasn’t uncalled for, infact, it could be said Lord Jason intentionally provoked them, so their hate is justifiable but taking in the greater picture, strength reigns supreme, all oppositions would be quelled before absolute power turning into nothing but admiration and fear. This is exactly what is happening, Lord Jason had proven his might and strength quelling the hate and disgust of the crowd, as of this moment, they saw him a genius comparable to Zarny. Even the old ancestors secretly observing the battle nodded in approval and clicked their tongues.

Two figures seated at the back looked thrilled. Of course, it was Bing Xing and Silas, even though Silas had expected Lord Jason to give Zarny an intense match, he didn’t expect it to be this ferocious. Silas subconsciously gulped down and waited with bated breath.

………….

Zarny’s strands of hair falling at the side of his face was matted with sweat and his blood, his eyes overflowed with a strong desire for battle, he cleaned the blood from the corners of his lips, he chuckled lightly and looked up at Lord Jason.

“You’re indeed a worthy opponent but if this is all you’ve got then you have sorely mistaken to anger the savage beasts” Zarny’s voice sounded out, a strong tune of confidence could be felt in it, it felt, he had more up his sleeves.

Lord Jason didn’t look any better than Zarny in physical appearance, he steadied himself back to his feet, a bright glow of admiration flickered deep in his eyes. It was the admiration for a fellow peer in strength.

“Hahahahaha, you’re sure entertaining Zarny but let’s see how far you can go” Lord Jason roared with laughter and a confidence to match.

Both parties had readied their conditions of battle, arriving back at peak level, this was the might of a genius, capable of restoring their fighting will and strength. Zarny took in a deep breath and flicked his sleeves, a crimson set of a bow and arrow appeared, it’s surface was rough and it seemed like it was soaked in blood. A faint roar as if that of a phoenix attempting to soar into the skies sounded out from the bow, the roar wasn’t loud or earpiercing, it was faint but strangely, it shook the hearts and soul of everyone, Lord Jason’s face fell and warped into shocked.

Deep within a secluded space, fear and shock could be seen within the depths of the ancient ancestors. Lord teeming shark stroked his chin.

“That must be the bow and arrow carved from the fiery scarletswallow blood, that bird was legendary and had a trace of the Phoenix bloodline even though it was negligible, it was still something of a legend. The legendary bow and arrow that was wield by Ancestor Beirut, it was said, he was undefeated as long as he had those weapons in his hands. There was even a saying back then, ‘The coming of Beirut is the coming of destruction’. But we have searched for ages for that weapon, who could have thought, it ended in the hands of this genius? Hahahahahaha! The heavens hasn’t forgotten us after all, with this weapon in hand, we shall restore our previous glory. Zarny is truly fortunate” Lord teeming spoke as if to himself but it was heard by the others. Even though, they had also had the stories of the bow and arrow, it still leaved them in awe and admiration everytime.

During the era of Ancestor Beirut, even the humans didn’t dare enter the seas, it was said, he once slayed a human Sovereign, since that battle, everyone had reverence to him, even though he had died several thousands of years ago, his name was still spoke till this day, the most legendary and powerful savage beast in existence.

…….

Back at the arena, Zarny’s entire being looked as if he was submerged in to the bow, his eyes was closed, resonance sounded from him, it sounded like the acknowledgement of the heavens, the calm before the storm was deadly silent, till the point, a drop of needle would echo. Everyone waited with bated breath. Lord Jason touched his pen and closed his eyes, a faint resonate echoed from him matching that of Zarny.

“What’s that resonance?” Silas whispered in the lowest of voice to Bing Xing.

Bing Xing stared agape, eyes transfixed to the stage.

“T-that is the ‘resonance of the heavens’ ,it happens when someone has mastered a certain art or element to the extent, even the heavens had to faintly acknowledge your prowess. Both parties had obviously reached this level” his voice was ragged.

Silas’s eyes widened in shock.

“The acknowledgement of the heavens…… No wonder, they’re called insurmountable geniuses. They’re simply too legendary” Silas muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on the arena.

Zarny drew his breath in sharply, the bow suddenly started glowing bright scarlet, Zarny picked up an arrow from it’s quiver, the arrow’s head seemed like it could rip off the life of anyone, it was sent to, it was obvious, this arrow had gone through so many baptism in blood, he knocked the arrow on the string of the bow. At this moment, it seemed, he had become the bow and the arrow, their figures overlapped, becoming one. With every breath, he slowly pulled the arrows backwards, the bow and arrow lit up in flames, dying it’s body, the arrow seemingly transformed to a flaming phoenix head and it’s body, the bow. It spread out it’s wings, kicking up a terrifying gale of wind, it roared into the skies. Everyone looked up to the flaming phoenix in reverence, some had no choice but to kneel. This was of course the manifestation of the legendary phoenix from the bloodline of the fiery swallow.

At this moment, just when the Phoenix was displaying it’s incredible might, a massive character appeared in the skies, slightly bigger than the Phoenix, it’s presence was like that of an inviolable emperor. It exuded a majestic and transcendent aura, clashing with the domineering aura emanated from the Phoenix.

“This is the final attacks. The winner would be decided soon” Silas evaluated.
