BAM!

The loud resounding boom that was caused by the collision of the ice bat and the flaming shield nearly ruptured the spectators' eardrum. The collision even created a wave in the unique atmosphere of Arconia, sending ripples of "water-air" wave toward the protective dome that protected the spectators from being hit by the ripples. 

"WOW!" 

"Did you see that?!" 

"Screw that! Where's the flaming shield now?!" 

The spectators yelled as they stood up and rushed to the edge of the seats to get a better view. The ripples that were hitting the wall of the protective dome had made it hard for them to look through the protective dome. 

However, they could clearly hear something being bounced off the dome a couple of times in different locations. By the time the ripples settled, what they saw shocked them. 



Earlier, 

"Sh*t!" Juin cursed in a low voice when he saw the ice bat coming from him. He immediately put a stop to the spell that he was creating and strengthened the flaming shield instead. According to the speed of the ice bat, if he did not do anything about his shield, it would break the shield, and consequently, him. "Enhanced!" Juin snapped just as the ice bat hit him. 

"Urgh!" Juin g.r.o.a.n.e.d when he felt the impact of being thrown at a high speed against the wall. 

He was slightly off timing and felt 10% of the hit, but in the end, he still managed to create a blue flaming shield that was sturdy enough to protect his body from being hurt by the collisions that followed. There were enough layers of flames that protect him, but even so…

"Oh my god… Is this what clothes in a washing machine feel?" Juin thought to himself as he was turned upside down inside the flaming shield. While the flaming shield absorbed 95% of the high-speed impact against the protective wall, Juin still suffered from the 5%, and in addition, he was being thrown around like a dryer ball, which was a lot worse than the pain he suffered. 

"Jeez!" Inside the newly enhanced flaming shield, Juin wanted to create a spell to sturdy himself, but he was unable to do so when he was being thrown all over the place.

He could barely think straight in this situation.

"Quick! He's about to create another spell, I'm sure of that!" Lucifer warned from within Juin's Soul Dimension. 

"I can't even breath, much less create another spell!" was what Juin wanted to retort, but in his current condition, he felt that he would have vomited if he tried to open his mouth. He could only focus on fixing the cracks that were now appearing on the diagram of his Enhanced Flame Shield. 

"ROAR!!!" 

BAM!!!

He heard the eardrum-bursting roar at the same time he felt a strong impact hitting the flaming shield. A loud hissing sound could be heard, but he only managed to hear it once before he was thrown around again. 

And this time, he felt more of the impact due to the breaking down of the layers of the flame shield.

BAM!

The flaming shield was once again sent all over the place by the hit.

"Juin!" 

He could hear Cyrus' frantic voice, but the loudest sound he could hear was the "whooshing" sound created by the flaming shield when it cut through the air. 

"Why do I…" Juin was about to wonder why the shield was so much weaker when he realized that it was due to the effect of his surroundings. The shield wasn't holding up as well as he wanted. 

Crack…

Juin threw up blood from within the flaming shield when he was hit the third time. And this time, the force of the hit was almost double the previous one. The shield cracked, almost as if it were made out of solid materials instead of layers of flames, and the Enhanced Flame Shield was unable to take it anymore. It completely dispersed, leaving Juin to take 30% of the hit. 

BAM! 

This time, the sound was created by Juin's body hitting the protective shield before freefalling from the height of 10 meters. 

"Sh*t!" Cyrus cursed and rushed forward to catch him. He agilely leaped 5 meters onto the protective dome, and kicking it to create an upward momentum for himself, he managed to catch Juin. "Oof!" 

Cyrus kicked the protective dome again to give him the momentum to carry Juin back onto the stage. 

When they were back on the stage, Cyrus noticed that Juin was badly injured. "Juin, are you alright?!" he asked after putting Juin down on the stage. Thank God that the flaming shield took 70% of the last hit before dispersing, or he was sure that Juin would have been dead for now. 

He waved his hands in front of Juin's eyes, but the latter's gaze was confused and unfocused as blood continued to leak from his ears and eyes, as well as the corners of his mouth. 

"Weakling…" 

Cyrus looked up and saw Saville with an arrogant gaze. 

"This is the person that Luca wants to fight?" Saville said with a sneer as he looked at the injured Juin who was lying on the stage. He was still in an end-strike position when he spoke. The yeti was now behind him, bringing a wave of coldness to everyone who so much as looked at it. 

Cyrus growled and stepped over Juin's body. With his hands placed on his waists, he had an annoyed expression on his face as he yelled, "Don't think that you have won just because he's weak!" 

"Urgh!" Juin vomited another mouthful of blood upon hearing that. Even in his disoriented state, he could still process what Cyrus was saying. "Come on… Don't hit a man when he's down…" Juin thought in pain. 

"Get lost, kid! Don't think that I won't hurt you just because you are a shrimp!" Saville said as he cracked his fists and slowly approached Juin. The yeti behind him also did the same motion while holding the ice bat, as if they were the same person. 

"Kid?" Cyrus growled, and at the moment, his growl was no longer that of a human child… No, it was not even that of an a.d.u.l.t human. The growl was that of a beast, and a beast of a high rank. In a half-crouch mode, Cyrus roared, "Come near and I'll show you who's the kid!" 

"Fine! You asked for it!" Saville snapped before making a swinging motion. Emulating him, the yeti behind him did the same, only that his action brought the ice bat down, swinging toward Cyrus who was standing in front of Juin. 

Cyrus grinned and hissed, "Not that easy!" 

He was sure that he was fast enough to dodge it. However, when he tried to make a move and jump, he stumbled forward slightly and nearly fell on his palms. He then realized that something was wrong. His legs… remained in the same place. 

"What…" 

A warning sign flashed in Cyrus' mind, and he quickly looked down. 

He then saw that his shoes were stuck to the ground… No, the sole was frozen and merged with the ground!
