Chapter 86 The Tournament (10)

Priya looked Erik in the eyes; there was only hatred for him. She didn't forget how he dared to talk back to her and humiliated her in front of many people, among which there was the guy she liked.

As soon as the girl found out that her opponent was Erik, the only thought that came to her was to make him pay for the humiliation she had to endure because of him. By joining the tournament, she also had the opportunity to join the Red Palace through the school.

But at the present time, this was overshadowed by her desire to humiliate him. The two ended up as opponents were just a fluke. She was confident enough to win the match, despite Erik being at least as strong as her, given he was able to reach this round of the tournament too.

Tough, she wasn't aware that Erik beat Zakir since she ignored his matches and didn't know how strong he was.

"All right, you already know the rules. No killing or crippling blows, no external interference," the referee said. "Aside from this, anything is possible. LET'S START!"

FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

The referee blew his whistle, and the match officially started. It didn't take much time for both contestants to start attacking.

Erik knew that for this girl to reach this round, she had to be strong. He wanted to use his power, but not knowing Priya's one, he preferred saving his mana for when he had the opportunity to make the most of its usage.

Erik quickly ran in front of Priya, and soon, he punched hard at the woman.

POW!

Erik's attack hit Priya right in the face, but she believed that had just been luck.

POW!

Another punch hit the young girl in the face, and soon rage started burning inside her like an inferno. A red mist appeared over Priya's head, who decided then and there to teach that asshole some manners.

WOOSH!

She grabbed Erik's right arm with one hand while using the other on the wrist of his other and spun with all her strength, trying to make him fall to the ground.

Erik was suddenly thrown in the air by Priya's move, and he fell with his back on the ground. At that moment, the woman, still gripping Erik's arms, started punching the young man on the head.

POW!

POW!

POW!

Erik found himself in a tricky situation, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle. He used his strength to throw Priya to the ground, and she fell on top of him. Erik locked Priya's head with his legs and exhorted as much pression as possible. However, at that moment, Priya started melting in front of Erik.

The puddle of unknown substance that Priya became started rapidly moving across the grass on which the two contestants were fighting. Once it was far enough, it soon started to get Priya's shape until it solidified. The young woman stood in front of a disbelieving Erik.

"I must admit, I would have never thought that Erik the plant hugger would be able to become this good at fighting, especially considering you started not even a month before," Priya said while Erik stood on his feet and went into combat position.

"But, you see, the difference between you and me is that my power is better. It has always been, and no awakening can change this fact!" she said while looking down at Erik.

The young man glared at Priya. He could see what kind of person she was: arrogant, condescending, and above all, full of herself. This made Erik want nothing more than to crush her since people like her had made his life miserable for years. Now, he had the chance to make this bitch realize that if you messed with him, there was only one outcome, defeat.

"I'll show you something interesting. Now observe..." Priya said. Immediately she activated her power. She partially shifted between being liquid and being solid while running, making it so that her legs elongated with every step she took, making her insanely fast. This didn't apply only to her legs, as even her arms stretched while she punched at Erik.

SWOOOSH

Priya's fist went past Erik, as he had just avoided her fist. The young man ran toward the girl and as soon as he was under her, he punched with all his strength the woman's face. Though his fist passed through the woman's body, it was like he had just punched a body of water, with his arm going on the other side of her head.

The liquid then fell to the ground, and once at a meter from the ground, it started solidifying again. The figure of a bent Priya appeared in front of Erik, and soon her punching figure appeared too.

POW!

Erik had been hit by the woman's fist in the stomach, and he gasped for air. The young man had to find a solution to his predicament, it was clear it was impossible to hit the young girl, and he didn't have the power that allowed him to do so.

The bout continued. Every time Erik got closer to his opponent and unleashed a kick, a punch, or tried to grab her, she liquefied, making it so that he couldn't connect the attack. It seemed that things weren't looking well for the young man. However, Erik knew that he wouldn't give up, no matter how bad the odds were against him.

Surrendering wasn't his style, and he couldn't even think about it since joining the Red Palace was an opportunity for him to become strong enough to finally leave this damned nation sooner or later. As long as there was a possibility of winning, Erik wouldn't stop fighting until the end.

So, when he felt another punch coming towards him, he rolled out of the way and landed on his feet. When he looked behind himself, he saw the woman about to come at him with a roundhouse kick.

He immediately jumped forward and dodged the attack, landing on the ground with his feet in front of him. Once there, he kicked at the woman, hitting her directly in the knee joint, only for his leg to go through her watery body and leave him exposed.

Priya hit Erik in the face again, and he fell to the ground, though; with a swift and agile move, he rolled, and with a very low stance, he attacked the woman standing over him. Hitting her in the face.

Priya fell backward, and the kick the young man unleashed finally connected with his opponent, leaving Erik confused, but Priya enraged and anxious.

It was then that Erik finally figured out how Priya's power worked. It was true that she could liquefy, and no physical attack could harm her when she was in liquid form; however, she could be damaged whenever she was in solid form.

Every time Priya solidified her fist to attack him, that meant that her fist could be injured. Erik also figured out that the liquefaction took almost a second to work, so if Erik was able to hit her within that short second, he would have been able to hit her.

That was easier said than done, and Erik had to find a solution to this problem. It was at that moment that Erik had an idea. His face stopped showing anxiety and concern, and a huge smile appeared on his face.

He had found a solution for his problem that could at least stop Priya from attacking but would also allow him to finally make the young woman lose a couple of teeth.
