Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 167 Lightning Chain

'One move, just one that will probably take everything that I have got, I cannot let this fight go on any loser of I will lose, my speed, what can my lightning do?' Ayden wondered as he stopped moving and looked at his opponent who smiled while Ayden panted and closed his eyes, listening to the direction the guy's wind was moving in, trying to figure out a way to break through the barrier with speed.

"Come on Ayden, you can do it," Sarah muttered as the guy was about to attack Ayden, but he jumped up in the air and barely avoided his attack.

"I think I'm going to have a heart attack," Sarah admitted.

"Don't worry, the ambulance is nearby," Alix replied to which she laughed, and Alix smiled as Ayden opened his eyes and looked at the way his and the guy's lightning moved, noticing that the wind and lightning were not moving in sync.

'I might not be stronger than you, but I hope I can be enough to make you lose and feel even a bit frustrated,' Ayden thought as he jumped up in the air, his lightning brightening and stretching across the ring surrounding the guy's barrier, and his eyes widened as he looked at Ayden trying to break free from the lighting around him but it was moving faster than his wind.

"H- How can he move faster?" the guy asked as Ayden took a deep breath unleashing more lightning that struck the barrier obstructing the wind, giving it an unbalanced flow and the lightning started forming a chain.

"I'm not going to let you win," the guy said softly as he turned to face Ayden, and lighting from within the barrier rushed out, forming spikes.

"You are dangerous," Ayden said, his eyes glowing blue, and Sarah gasped as the lightning spikes were about to pierce him but abruptly stopped midair.

"You can use your wind better than your lightning, which means it's only in your control when it's in your grasp, but once you use it to attack, if your opponent is a strong lightning user, it's free once released, giving me an opening, meaning I can take it under my control," Ayden explained.

The guy's eyes widened as Ayden turned the spikes towards him and the lighting glowed bright blue and they all closed in using the form of a chain on the barrier, breaking it and wrapping around the opponent who was struck on his arms by the lighting spikes but not he was not severely injured, it was just enough to keep him from using his powers further.

"You are strong, but the countdown has begun; you won't be able to break it in ten seconds, but you can within a minute or two," Ayden said while panting, and the countdown began, and Ayden smiled along with the others, then the bell rang, giving Ayden the win, and he sighed in relief as the guy broke free from his lightning chain and the spikes vanished as blood ran down his arms, then he smirked

"For someone who is still learning, you are growing at a rapid pace, you did well, thanks for a good fight," the guy said as he helped Ayden out of the ring, and Ayden smiled.

"Thank you," he replied.

"You are welcome, you are not badly injured, the healing nurses should be enough to heal you, go see them without wasting time," the guy said with a smile, then left, and Ayden went up to the VIP section, sat down, and Zack brought one of the nurses to him and he smiled.

"Master, how did I do?" Ayden asked with a smirk.

"You did great, Ayden, you did excellently," Adora said with a smile, patting him on the head as the nurse began to heal him but his injuries were minor.

"Who's next?" "The crowd is amazed, and they want more, so I don't see why I should keep them waiting, I honestly have no reason to," Zack sighed.

"I'll try to win, I don't know what my opponent's full abilities are, she can use a sword, yes, but what else?" Sarah expressed her concern, and Aerav patted her on the shoulder and smiled.

"I will go first, you wait a bit and gather your thoughts, I know how frustrating it can be," Aerav said and she smiled.

"Your opponent is something else, Aerav," Zack said, and Aerav smiled as Alix looked at him.

? "Do you recall what I said about your opponent?" Alix inquired.

"I do, but why?" Aerav asked.

"Just concentrate and think clearly; maybe what I said will help you during your match," he replied and Aerav smiled.

"I will listen to what you say Alix, I know your observation skill is something else, Adora told me the same thing, but I can't help but be a little nervous, I still feel like I'm going to lose," he said.

"That's natural, Aerav, good luck, he responded.

"Thank you, Alix," he said.

"His injuries were not severe enough to require more than a week to fully heal; he is fine; just rest now," the nurse said, and they sighed with relief.

"Thank you very much, nurse," Adora and Ayden said.

"You are welcome, this is my job, normally after a fight with his opponent, people take longer to heal because their injuries are worse, you have a great team my lady, I wish you guys good luck too, the others are more ruthless, I will be the one healing you guys, your personal nurse for now," she said with a smile, and they smiled back.

"Thank you for working with us," they said, and Adora looked at Aerav who smiled with her but yet he was nervous.

"Well, you are up next, Aerav," Zack said as they announced his and his opponent's names.

"Good luck," they said, and he smiled before taking a deep breath and walking to the ring, where his opponent stared him down as though he was looking at his next meal.
