Demons Battle

*Booooooomm!!*

There was a sudden increase in pressure that occurred as a blast wave passed.

An explosion immediately covered almost half of the battle ground.

“What the hell was that?”

Everyone stared at the scene with shock.

William was immediately seen collapsing to ground alone. Gabriel was with him when the explosion took place but where was Gabriel?

“There he is!”

“How did he get there so fast?”

Gabriel was seen at the other end of the battle ground with the wall cracked.

“...I see. He used it” Machia seemed to had noticed the situation from where he was sitting.

Gabriel was currently breathing heavily. With his right arm looking all robotic.

‘ huff huff...shit what was that attack just now? If I hadn’t reacted fast by using my arm-blast it would have been a knock out for me. But shit colliding with the wall was really painful’

[ And That’s a knock out for one of Team C member!!!]

‘He used the same enhanced attack as before. But this time he used it to repel himself from William to avoid the explosion.’ Ashlee thought with an astonished look on her face.

[Team C defeat Team D in four minutes. Your count down starts now.]

[4:00]

[3:59]

“Wow team D is already ahead.”

“Who the hell is the robotic looking kid though?”

People among the audience reacted to the scene with comments and questions which resulted a noise in the whole stadium.

‘Wow I didn’t expect knocking out William will be so easy but it looks like luck is on our side. All we have to do is defend now.’  Sora thought as he teleported back to Gabriel.

“ I can’t believe Team D is the one winning right now?” Daisuke commented

“No I don’t think so. They’ll have to hold off against her in order to win. That’s if they can.” Daniel complimented with his eyes narrowed at the scene.

“Gabriel can you move?” Sora got to where Gabriel was in a flash. Gabriel was about to answer but something was wrong.

“Yea-“

‘What the hell? How did sh-‘

Ashlee immediately appeared behind Sora after his teleportation and gave him a blow before he could figure out what was going on.

*Bah*

Sora and Gabriel vanished that instant the sound of the attack was heard.

Immediately Sora and Gabriel were seen again at the other end of the battle ground.

‘Shit even if I teleported I barely avoided her attack. How did she move that fast?’ Sora had teleported both his himself and Gabriel to avoid Ashlee.

“Gabriel are you okay?” Sora asked Gabriel in a worrisome manner.

“Yeah I am.”

Gave immediately answered and looked at Ashlee with terror. He felt this ominous feeling of uneasiness.

‘What the hell is up with her? I don’t think we’re in control of this fight even if we’re the one winning!’ Shiver struck down the whole of Gabriel’s body as he observed the situation.

“Oh shit... This is where the real battle starts.” Daniel complimented as he stared at the scene.

“What do you mean?” Daisuke immediately inquired.

“I have fought her before. Situations where the odds are against her makes her more dangerous.” Daniel said as he continued speaking.

“For a normal fighter they would falter in this kind of situation. But for her it’s the opposite and I’m sure Sora knows this. In fact he knows her well..”

Ashlee was already walking at a normal pace towards Sora and Gabriel. Her aura was totally different now.

“Sora knows that the odds are against them now. Ashlee is powerful enough to take both of them down” Daniel concluded with his gaze still fixed at the fight scene.

“She’s strong. Gabriel will be having a tough time for a while.” Machia said to Tom from his seat while Tom was anxiously watching the scene.

Ashlee was still walking towards them.

“Gabriel brace yourself! The hard moment starts now.” Sora immediately shouted with total alertness and vigilance. It was as if he was preparing to encounter the worst.

“Hahaha...come at me Sora! Come at me with everything you got. Strategy, power and everything!” Ashlee said in a vile manner. Her aura was completely different now. It was as if she was a totally different person from a while ago.

“I don’t need to big sis. All I have to do is defend till your time runs out. And I think I can do just that.” Sora replied Ashlee with a tensed smile.

[ 3:01]

[3:00]

Ashlee looked at the timer in the big screen and gave a slight grin.

And in that moment Ashlee was already in front of Sora.

“Are you sure you can do that? Are you sure can defend against me for more than two minutes?”

‘Shit. How did she...how did she get here so fast?’

Sora teleported again immediately to another side in the battle ground. He was still able to see Ashlee standing in spot where he was.

“Where are you looking at?”

In that instant Sora heard the familiar voice of Ashlee behind him. But something was off. The problem was Ashlee shouldn’t be standing behind him right now because..

‘She’s still right there. She’s still standing where I was. What’s going on?’

Sora instinctively turned around in that instant but the next thing that followed his eye sight was a lightening strike in the form of a punch. He saw the lightening strike that one usually sees when they get a direct blow to the eye.

*Bah*

In that moment pressurized air wave was released around both Ashlee and Sora. And then Sora wasn’t there anymore.

He was already back with Gabriel as he landed to the ground with so much force and air pressure. He was so eager to teleport that he teleported with the disturbed air atmosphere.

The moment Sora received a blow in his left eye from Ashlee, he teleported in that moment before the blow could do any further damage. Even as he teleported at that moment, the fact the blow touched him slightly gave him an intense pain in his eye.

“Shit..” Sora covered his left eye with his left hand as he muttered in pain.

“Sora! Are you okay?” Gabriel screamed at Sora with his gaze still fixed at Ashlee. She was still standing at the other end of the battle ground. Gabriel was still very vigilant of the situation. He didn’t want to lose sight of her for even a second.

“Huh?...Do you really think you can keep up with me new guy?”

‘Holy shit..how is she here already? I had my eyes only fixed at her. Even if she moves really fast I should be able to notice her. Just how fast is she?’ Gabriel had a stupefied look on his face as he saw Ashlee already in front of him.

‘Even if she’s already here I’ll just have to blast her here. I had already prepared a blast attack for a situation like this so..’

“I’m not gonna lose!!!” Gabriel shrieked as his right arm surfaced with air pressure around it. [Arm-Blast!] Gabriel gave Ashlee a blow as a wave of pressurized air was released between them.

[And That’s a Solid Hit from Gabriel!!!]

In that moment Ashlee flew away due to the impact of the blow.

“Hey my turn now.”

‘What the...how is she behind me? But she’s still over there’ Gabriel glanced at Ashlee who was still flying away due to the impact of his punch. How is this possible? She was speaking behind him and he could still see her suffering from the impact of his attack as she landed in a distance. In that moment he saw Ashlee disappearing after landing.

Gabriel was completely in shock with what was going on. He instinctively tried to turn around but he wasn’t fast enough. After that a sound of a solid hit was heard.

[What? I don’t know how that is happening but that’s a solid hit from Ashlee!]

“Ahhhhh”

Gabriel immediately flew away from the impact of her blow. Gabriel was about to collide with the stage wall when Sora teleported to his back in the air and caught him to reduced his propulsion caused by the blow.

Everyone in the Stadium was currently in total shock with their mouths wide open at what just happened.

“She was there just now.”

“There were two of her for a moment”

“What’s going on? I haven’t seen this kind of attack from her before”

“She’s terrifying”

Both the audience and the powered humans students who were watching the fight were all in shock at Ashlee’s display of power. At this moment her strength was overwhelming. It was certainly not looking like Team D had the upper hand anymore. Even the audience could tell that Team D would definitely lose if they’re unable to keep up with her at this rate.

“Is she cloning herself?” Daisuke asked with a stupefied look on his face.

“I haven’t seen her do that before.” 

‘But it is a really annoying ability’ Even Daniel was trying to understand what was going on.

Nakamura Sensei was staring at the scene too.

‘Omnipresence.’ Nakamura sensei said while admiring her ability in his mind.

‘ I know. It’s as if she’s cloning her herself but she’s not. She’s just moving so fast that she lives a mirage behind. More like she’s living a speed mirage behind.’

‘And the reason she’s able to move this fast is because of her Zone. She’s using her zone to attract and repel herself anywhere she wants. Which is bad because the whole of this Dojo is her zone.’

‘Even if you can tell that she’s moving fast and living a speed mirage around, you’ll most likely assume she’s a speedster. But she’s just moving this fast due to the force of attraction and repulsion of her zone.’

‘It’s like she can make any part of her zone her magnet and she herself the metal. And just like that she’s attracted so fast to that part of her zone. She’s doesn’t have to run or move a muscle to arrive in any place under her zone. It’s so fast that the speed of the attractive force even rivals Sora’s teleportation’

‘Damn. She even moves so fast that she lives a mirage behind. The difference between her and a speedster now is that her mirage only lasts for a few seconds before it vanishes.’

‘At least it lasted long enough to receive Gabriel’s hit. She fooled him into believing he had landed a solid hit. Meanwhile it was actually a mirage he attacked’

‘What a terrifying ability. I wasn’t expecting to see the birth of such a ability from her zone.’

‘I recalled her saying she felt she could do more with her zone. Even though I urged her to work on something. I certainly wasn’t expecting this.’

‘With this her newly evolved zone ability I’m sure she’s now on the same level as the strongest five. It won’t be an overestimation of her ability to say she might even go one-on-one with Daniel.’

The strongest five was the name given to the group of the five strongest red Gi students. They were monsters in their own way and Daniel was the strongest among all of them. Ashlee was just a white Gi student but they all felt it. Ashlee was on par with them. She was the same as them or even better.

They all knew in a year or two she would definitely get stronger than them all.

.

‘If she didn’t show me this ability before now I’m sure I would’ve been shocked as the whole audience right now. She really is a prodigy...’

‘...She really is the Goddesss’

Nakamura sensei thought as he stared at the scene with total amazement.

Nakamura sensei was the only person who knew about this ability before she revealed it here. There was also another reason Ashlee, Sora and even Daniel were strong apart from their abilities. It was because he had privately trained all three of them before.

Because of this their special training time under Nakamura sensei the three students all knew what each of them were capable of. But Sora and Daniel wasn’t expecting to see such a development from Ashlee today.

Sora had finally realized he may have underestimated her by thinking he could win by holding her off with just his teleportation.  Her speed right now already rivals this teleportation of his.

Nakamura sensei immediately glanced towards Sora again as he thought.

‘You can’t win with just your speed and teleportation. What will you do here?  If you’re depending on just that ability, you’re totally screwed. So show me... what will you do?’

[1:23]

The big screen was still displaying the remaining time for Ashlee. Although it was the display of the upcoming deadline for Ashlee. The whole audience felt more like it was Team D own deadline.

“The moment of truth is already fast approaching for them.” Daniel commented as he was still staring attentively at the scene.

“Hahaha...hahahaha...hahaha..” Ashlee gave an evil laugh as she kept walking towards Sora and Gabriel.

“She looks totally different. I have never seen like this before” Daisuke commented with a feeling of terror. Shiver still struck down his entire body even though he was just sitting among the audience..

“That’s because she’s a sadist.” Daniel immediately gave a slight grin as he continued speaking.” She doesn’t like this part of herself and has been trying to change this aspect of herself for a while now.”

“But it turns out we humans don’t really change after all”  Daniel immediately concluded in excitement with his attention still fixed on the scene.

Ashlee was still laughing while she was approaching.

“Hahaha tell me Sora! What will you do in this your situation? You thought you could win against me didn’t you? But don’t worry by the time I’m done crushing you it will be fun!”

Sora stood up immediately from where Gabriel was and asked..

“Gabriel can you still stand?”

“Yes. Her hit was painful but I’m not giving up yet.” Gabriel said as he tried to cheer himself to stand.

“Hey Gabriel. We’re gonna be using that secret ability of yours to win this fight. She’s too strong.”

“...” Gabriel immediately glanced at Ashlee who was still approaching them slowly. She was walking towards them like a predator who was still admiring her preys right she before devours them.

“Yeah I understand. I’m ready when you are” Gabriel said in a determined manner. He still wanted to win even when the odds where against them and right now he’s ready to do anything to get that victory.

“Okay stay on stand by. I will signal you, let me take care of her first.”

Sora said as he started walking forward towards Ashlee who was still approaching.

“Hey Ashlee! My bad,it was my fault big time for underestimating you. How about we settle this?”

As Sora said a sort of white aura was seen surrounding his whole body while he was walking towards Ashlee.

Ashlee noticed that Sora’s aura was totally different now. She gave an astonished look and smiled again.

“Sora you’re the best! You just don’t give up! I’ll have so much fun crushing you! Come on let’s go”

And immediately an intense pressure was felt around Ashlee.  The pressure was so intimidating that even the audience could feel it.

Immediately Sora vanished and in that same second...

*Bah*Bah*

A series of sound was heard.
