Chapter 333: Chapter 333 Protagonist Defeated.
The residents in the VIP room where Soma's family gathered sat stunned, seeing the scene that happened before their eyes. The sight of Soma, who struggled to follow his opponent's movement, became quite a sight to see.
Hina, who had absolute confidence in Soma's strength, clenched her fists and teeth while holding back the urge to slash the blonde-haired guy.
Never had she thought that the blonde-haired guy she rarely interacted with, despite being close with Soma, had that much power hidden. It seemed the title of Savior was indeed true to its name.
Xiao Lian's face stiffened like a doll; her expression was indescribable, just like the scene in the Arena.
As for Serafina, she knit her brows, mixed between amazement and irritated that the blonde kid got the better of her beloved. This means Lucy is getting the better of her, and that fact infuriates Serafina.
The atmosphere inside the room was heavy, and only laughter from the other seat rang.
However, the situation began to change as the girls, familiar with the gleaming might of the crimson lightning, descended upon the land. This gave them reassurance that the match was over once Soma used that.
Leon, feeling something dangerous, decides to leap back, and soon his eyes are enveloped by red, which sends a chill around his body.
"What?!".
A crackle of roaring thunder reverberated as the whole venue trembled and dyed in crimson color. Myriad red veins swim across the atmosphere. It heightened the temperature around.
Soma, the one who stood in the center, his eyes sprung open. Once he exhaled, all of the untamed lightning crawled back to its source, which was himself.
The lightning still danced wildly and ferociously as it struck the Arena around Soma, turning it into charred black in a circle pattern.
Everyone in the venue lost the capability to talk as they witnessed the jaw-dropping power Soma had manifested. Even though many of them were not power users, with one glance, they could feel in their hearts that the current Soma was stronger than anyone in this competition. Worse, he is the possessor of a rare Lightning element.
At first, they were overjoyed after seeing someone finally stand within the same height as Soma, the overlord in this competition. However, their hope dashed away as soon as they saw this.
Not just the spectators in the regular seats but also the people in the VIP room were speechless about the situation. Some of them even stood up from their seats, sensing a dangerous power that could easily decimate a Rank-B.
On the Camelot side, especially the head and adjuvant, their eyes glint sharply in greed, but hidden behind it is also a sense of urgency and slight fear.
Livia's face was pale as her gaze was directed toward Leon, who also seemed surprised and stood still in fright. "Young master, Please. I believe in you!".
"Hee, impressive!".
Lars commented in one of the corners of the venue, where the other parties had just returned from the airport, like him.
"Lucy, it seemed bad for your guy, right?".
Katarina gulped her own saliva, looking at that power being displayed as sweat trickled down her temple, looking at the Arena.
"...It seemed so".
Lucy agreed beside her while she directed a vengeful gaze toward Soma. As much as she was mad, Lucy couldn't do anything but watch the event unfold.
Within the hustling group, only Gary watched the match with solemn eyes when he felt a familiar feeling in the strength Soma had unleashed.
It was ominous yet at the same time destructive, making him recall his childhood memory where he was witnessing a grand battle that involved his parents and Demons.
However, despite the ominous presence, he kept his positive mind and glanced at Soma, who seemed ready to finish the match.
"I am curious just what kind of person he is. I can't wait to find it myself!".
Soma, who, under the attention of many people, drew his exhale and stepped his feet onto the ground. He focused his lightning toward his right hand, and it flowed more smoothly without resistance as if it were his own limbs.
"This is indeed exhilarating!".
He didn't know it for sure, but it seems the Martial Saint Technique he unleashes feels incredibly different from what he used to. It was significantly enhanced to another height.
Leon's heart faltered slightly as he met a gaze with Soma, who smiled confidently. His mind was complicated; he was trapped on the brink of admiration and resentment.
"...You! Even so, I will not Lose!".
As if responding to his call, the sun tattoo in his palm generated a blinding light that dyed half the Arena golden.

"Must… Vanish… Evil!".
The light kept gathering until it compressed into a single point, which was into the sword in his hand. Leon, who basked with Divine Light, slowly left the ground.
His body floats gently before stopping in midair and glancing at Soma with indifferent golden eyes. Leon raises his sword upward under the gaze of amazed people, but some of them who possess power realize that something is wrong with Leon's condition.
"This is bad!".
Soma, who understood what was happening to Leon, focused all of his internal energy on his feet. The lightning that crawled across his skin compressed itself, creating an armor, enveloping his feet which strong enough to destroy the Arena.
The atmosphere cried for help after being pushed by the intense light that floated above, while the land trembled from the destructive might of the crimson lightning that fearlessly challenged Heaven's law.
"As much as I want to continue the match. Sorry Leon, I will win this match!".
As soon as Soma said that, he shot upward like a missile, leaving a crimson trail in its path. Leon responded by swinging his sword, which stretched into a long blade created from compressed light.
"Evil purge!".
The intense collision that would happen generated a huge pressure for ordinary people to bear, as they couldn't see what was happening.
Soma, who saw the blade descend slowly before his eyes, smirked and used this change to his advantage.
"You fool, drowning in your own power".
He struck the light sword side with his spinning kick, changing its trajectory as it missed its target. Soma used the light as a foothold to accelerate further and place his left leg forward like a spear.
"This is the end!".
It happened in an instant. The light that should have blocked anything that could harm the user shattered, and the crimson spear kept its momentum before it plunged toward Leon's abdomen, shattering the brooch in Leon's pocket.
"Gahak!".
[Savior Mark reacting!]
Soma caught a glimpse of the sun mark on Leon's palm, which began to tremble in anger after being struck by him. He knitted his brows, shifted his position, spinning in midair and then kicked Leon downward using his right leg.
"Enough! Just rest!".
A boom resonated within the venue, creating a huge shockwave that blasted the blinding light that pierced everyone's eyes. When the spectators regained their sight, they soon opened wide in shock, looking at the figure of Soma standing in midair, still covered with that menacing aura.
Meanwhile, Leon's figure lay on his stomach in the Arena, which cracked like a spider web.
"The match is over!".
{...}
The emcee stood dumbfounded after witnessing the fight earlier that shattered her common sense as an awakener. Never in her awakener's life since entering the Academy, has she witnessed something like that.
This generation was truly weird. They created many monsters despite still being in their first year. A sudden thought invaded her brain, and the emcee's body shuddered, thinking of what would happen if they were in their third year.
"Miss!".
{Ah, right. The winner of this match is Soma. With this, he already secured his position in the Grand Final, Which will be held tomorrow}
For a moment, silence permeated before it broke by a deafening roar of cheer and excitement that shook the entire stadium.
Soma finished with his duty, exhaled, and slowly descended to the ground as he released the Techniques, letting the lightning disperse into nothing.
The officials started to run toward the Arena, approaching Leon, who seemed in an unconscious state. Behind them, Tiara followed, giving him a momentary glare that could kill.
Soma shrugged his shoulders and accidentally felt a gaze that pricked his skin. When he turned to the source, he found Akane with her noh expression, looking at him as if he were her enemy.
However, it lasted only for a moment before her presence slowly faded, disappearing within the shadows.
"I hope she didn't do anything stupid".
