BEYOND THE BLAZE

Chapter 63: Finals


Some medics charged towards Akirion, while some helped Olivia. They were flabbergasted when they saw Akirion's wounds that were completely closed, without any trace of blood leaking.

"What are you?" one of the medics asked as they saw Akirion in a good, normal state.

Akirion flashed his smile and replied, "I'm a human just like you, nothing more!"

The medics were left speechless, with many questions but afraid of asking, and also they didn't know how to even ask such a question.

The time flew by so quickly that Akirion was called for the final match. He got ready without any worries, just happy for the moment. His eyes were filled with mischief, and his lips curled as he grinned without anyone talking to him or anything like that.

As for Lucas, he had some shivers that were lowering down his spine, giving him chills, and to hide his fear, he was totally angry. His face was full of intimidating lines, and his eyes widened, with some red lines aligning with his brows.

His feet stomped on the ground as he walked to the stage as if he were marching.

The crowd cheered for the two, making a thunderous applause and roaring cheers as they screamed louder in happiness. Their voices were louder than the howling wolves as they screamed their lungs out.

Akirion headed to the stage with a grin on his face that got Lucas's heart trembling. His eyes had a soft, gentle look that was annoying the others, as they expected him to be terrified or angry.

"What's up with your guy?" Kaid asked, his eyebrows furrowed, annoyed by the way Akirion grinned.

"What? No, he's not my guy!" Fiana replied, a bit jumpy, with her face turning reddish, but also denying with her hands waving fast.

"Yes, I know, I'm sorry. I meant Akirion. Why is he smiling? He's irritating me!"

"Really, why is that? He's just happy for the match, maybe."

"Yes, I know that, but why is he smiling? He's supposed to be angry, maybe lost in thoughts trying to figure out how he's going to tackle his opponent!" said the Prince with his eyebrow shaking.

"Pff, that's stupid! Ideas come anytime. What if you plot something, and then it doesn't go according to what you wanted? What are you going to do then?"

"Mmh, that's a good point, but he's annoying me with his fake smile." Kaid's hand held his chin as he agreed to Fiana's point.

"Just admit that you hate, even though you don't know him!" Fiana chuckled with her eyes shining with mischief as she gently and softly opened them.

"It's not like…"

"Then why do you hate a stranger?"

"I—I don't know; I just feel like hating him."

"Exactly, you hate him."

Kaid sighed and said, "Haaaa, yes, I hate him; that grin is making me crazily furious. I can't even hold it back!"

"That's ridiculous!"

The two siblings continued arguing as Akirion got on the stage. Lucas felt the winter cold piercing through his skin as he saw Akirion riding the stage. His intestines vibrated, his legs were unable to move, and he felt as if he was mounted and glued wherever he was.

Akirion's faint aura was seen as an intensifying one in Lucas's eyes. His innocent eyes were seen glowing with intimidating power that got Lucas feeling like forfeiting.

His ears concentrated on Akirion's footsteps that were thudding louder than his ears could take. The ground was like shaking as Akirion set his foot on the ground, soft thuds echoing as if someone hit a big drum.

Fear flooded Lucas's body, forcing his clenched fist to tremble like jelly.

Akirion found his way on the stage and got ready for the fight.

Lucas suppressed his fear and started a conversation to forget the intensity of Akirion.

"Hey, Class A, Akirion." Lucas sneered.

"Yes, Lucas. You sound surprisingly calm; is everything okay?" Akirion responded.

"Of course, I am. Thanks for asking!"

"My pleasure."

"Tell me something?"

"What!?"

"Who the hell are you?" Lucas's calm face got solid and became angry.

"Huh? You said my name earlier!"

"Not your name, dammit!"

"HUH?!"

"Don't 'huh' me and answer my question!" He clenched his fist as his anger levels rose up.

"Hush hush, I'll tell you."

Lucas gasped and gave his two ears to Akirion as he closely and patiently waited.

The bell banged before Akirion could introduce himself.

"Ohh, can't control that. I guess introductions later; for now, it's time to dance." Akirion sneered, ready to fight.

"Grrr, tell me your true identity, dammit!"

"Come on, you aren't supposed to be that rude if you want something from someone."

"Grr, just shut up!"

Lucas charged towards Akirion, his hands glowing with fire, while his orbs glared at Akirion for a clear shot.

Akirion remained still, with his eyes barely closed as he waited for Lucas's attack.

Suddenly, five fireballs came forth, targeting Akirion. Within a distance of two meters, and without Akirion's body motion, those fireballs exploded.

Lucas was dumbfounded as he saw Akirion standing with his hands folded while his eyes were closed. His heart stopped for a second, a gasp escaped his lips, and his eyes widened in astonishment and confusion.

He thought of initiating another attack.

Meanwhile,

Kaid had his orbs wide open; astonishment filled his heart that was pounding like a war drum.

Suddenly, he started stammering, with his eyes glued to the stage.

"Wh - what just happened here?"

"...!" silence came from Fiana, who had her gaze stuck at the stage.

BACK AT THE STAGE

Lucas ran around Akirion with his eyes flashing with rage while he shot ten fireballs that were seen as fierce.

And again, the fireballs blasted the air, leaving everyone surprised as to why the fireballs aren't reaching Akirion.

Lucas stopped, his heart racing while he started panting; his nose was too small for the moment. That's when he used his mouth for better inhalation.

"Wh - who the hell are you?" Lucas asked as he tried to catch a breath.

"Ohh, we are still on that, okay." Akirion sneered, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Lucas, who was hardly breathing.

Lucas listened again as Akirion said, "I'm Akirion, the dance fighter, but I don't know how to dance….."

"Don't you lie to me, dammit; just speak up, and stop beating around the bush before I kill you!"

"Ohh, that's a big will. Are you really going to do th…"

"Hey, shut up and speak up!"

"What? How can I even shut up and speak at the same time?!"

Lucas's patience ran thin, and he started attacking Akirion. His eyes blazed with anger since Akirion proved to be cold and emotionally provocative.

Lucas ran towards Akirion this time and initiated his attack, as his hands made up ten balls that instantly aimed at Akirion.

Akirion swiftly disappeared from the aimed place and reappeared behind Lucas. A sudden gasp sounded as Lucas caught a glimpse of Akirion behind him.

The fired balls collided with one another, creating a huge explosion. The stage erupted with explosion sounds, and the mixture of dust and smoke went up, creating a blurry vision for the audience.

"Missed me! And to be honest, that was a great attack; I'll give you a handclap." Akirion started clapping, unknowing that he was rubbing salt into Lucas's wounds.

Lucas got angry that his face was like someone else's since he looked different, with a lot of scary lines all over.

Akirion sneered as he saw Lucas taking a deep breath, suppressing his anger. That got his face to normal, and a fake smile appeared and got permission in front of his anger.

"Wow, that was fast. Now, how can I help you? I'm good to talk now, since you aren't scaring my heart away." Akirion mockingly said, with his lips stretching from ear to ear as he sneered.

"Who are you, Akirion?" Lucas asked, with no smile or anger visible in his face, only his voice growling.

"My name is Akirion, and I have nothing more to say. I don't even know who I am, maybe." Akirion said with his left eyebrow quirked and his hand holding his chin as he thought.

Suddenly, many fireballs rained on the stage, hiding Akirion's movements as he was standing on the ground during the hit.

Suddenly, he appeared behind Lucas, with a sneer on his face, and said, "Awesome, that attack almost got my heart to sto….."

Everyone was surprised by Akirion's appearance behind Lucas, but before they even processed the scene, a sudden attack happened and got everyone thunderstruck.

Akirion opened his eyes wider as he felt motion behind him. He was hit on the back by the fireball that was set by Lucas as a trap. He moved to the front, where another attack occurred; a highly arcane channeled ball was shot at Akirion, who was flying towards Lucas after a blast in his back.

A golden glowing ball blasted Akirion's chest and sent him flying to the edge of the stage.

An evil laugh echoed throughout the arena; the crowd left dumbfounded as they kept completely quiet, their eyes glued to Akirion.

Akirion showed no movement, causing Lucas to hit his chest, waiting for a victory announcement.
