CronoOver 25 Chapter 25

Even tho I'm not a Master level swordsmen yet, the gap between where I am now isn't that big, so using Little star for the amount of strength I'm missing will allow me to pull off my strongest move yet.

-Back in the OverWorld, While Alexander was still training Rin, they hit a wall.

"Listen to me Rin, Right now you hit the wall which I can't help you breakthrough, and that wall is called being a Master!"

"Master, I don't get it?"

"You see, I thought you everything I coud, everything a normal person coud learn. Being a Master cla.s.s swordsmen as well as any kind of martial artist means going beyond normal human strength."

"So when that time comes, you'll need to do something like this to break through that wall."

Seem's like I'm still not strong enough to break through that wall, but until I do, I'll have to compromise with Little star.

-Following Rin's movements, the ma.s.sive Wyvern that covered the area above the colosseum as well as the lightning that was surrounding it started moving and took flight towards Archer.

"This might be a problem... Is that what I was supposed to say?"

-Archer took his bow and aimed it at the Wyvern heading his way.

"But I have to say, performing a Final art even if your not a Master, is Impressive. To bad for you, but I am one!"

"Bow arts, Final art: Sagittarius!"

-Archer, with one hand, put his bow in the air with no intention of using his ability or shooting for that matter. But he put it in the air as an offering for the creature he summoned, a half-human half-horse looking monster, a Sagittarius.

-The Sagittarius took hold of the bow at the same time as Archer and pulled on its string, creating an arrow. It was so beautiful it coud be described as if you were looking at a bunch of stars in the night.

"Now, release it!"

-Just like he said, Sagittarius released the s.h.i.+ning arrow at the perfect time, a few meters before the Wyvern storm hit them, It hit the Star arrow instead.

-With the two Final arts facing each other in order of proving which one's superior, the clash of white and purple aura didn't last long and Rin's wyvern storm was completely and otherly destroyed.

That...That easily?

-But the arrow didn't stop after hitting its target, in the middle of the air it stopped and changed its course towards Rin.

w...w...w...what? Wyvern Storm devoured all of my remaining energy reserves. I'm left powerless!

-With the Arrow headed his way, and with no energy to use in order to activate Little star, Rin found himself with no way of getting away and just stood there waiting for what's to come.

My arm won't move anymore and my heads spinning, is this seriously the end, is this how it will all end?

"Boom!!!"

-And finally, the Arrow made contact and hit the powerless Rin directly. But before he coud take the full force of the impact Archer fired another arrow and moved Rin before it coud kill him.

That was close, I almost killed him.

-His body immobilized and covered in a river of blood, just lying there on the ground. The blood around his head got brighter and brighter from all the tears he let pour in it.

Move d.a.m.n it, move! Why won't you move?

-His body unable to move, and covered in all sorts of bruises and injuries just lied there, and all he coud do is ask himself why.

Is this it, is this the end of the road, my body won't move and it won't listen to what I say.

"It seems like that win was nothing more than a simple stroke of luck, I'm disappointed, and I really wanted to see something like "The power to believe in yourself" or something like that."

"It...It's not over yet, as long as I take a breath, I can continue fighting, as long as I live, I won't lose here!"

-With his head, he hit the ground and started crawling towards Archer. The sight was more than disgusting and hard to watch.

"I'll KILL YOU ALL AND WIN!!!"

"BOOM!!!"

"AH, Ah, Ah!!!"

-As he continued talking a sound was heard, a sound of a light explosion. Archer had fired an arrow which knocked Rin unconscious and put a stop to his crazy self-killing.

Just for a moment there, I saw death. This kid, If he continues like this he will undoubtedly destroy himself.

"Forget what I said earlier, Right now what you need is sanity."

"And with that amazing show of power, the first round of the semifinals is over, with Archer as the winner!"

"I love a good fight, but watching Eyepatch kind of depresses me!"

"I know what you meen, looking at someone who doesn't care for their life is kind of sick, even for me."

-The people watching the fight had their own opinions on Rin's performance and it wasn't expected. Even if they loved watching others fight to the death and seeing them scream on the ground, watching someone willing to give away his life for nothing was just not right, even for them.

"Now Exit the ring so that the maintenance team can do their job!"

-Exiting the Ring, Archer left Rin's unconscious body to the medical team that just arrived and was going to take him to the infirmary.

-Normally people wouldn't get this kind of treatment, but Rin's fight against Hood as well as Archer was good, even if he lost. So in order to make him come back to the colosseum and fight, they do this sort of thing. If they're useful in making them money they will keep them alive.

-Meanwhile In the waiting room...

It seems like that fighting spirit and willpower got you only this far. In front of real power, there is little any of us can do.

-And while Rex was monologing to himself a person who was together with him in the waiting room got up from his seat and made his way towards him, soon enough finding himself standing in front of Rex.

-Still sitting, Rex looks up to find Bear standing in front of him with a conniving look on his face, like he had something to say to him. Which in fact he did!

"Took me a while to remember the name but It finally hit me. Kace Stephan, when was it, around six years ago I think. You were accused of kidnapping as well as s.e.xual a.s.sault of seven women and lost your entire company in the prosses, But you managed to escape the cops and were on the run for the past two years when you appeared again and destroyed your entire building, killing everyone inside in the prosses, before vanis.h.i.+ng again!"

"These days I go by Rex, I left everything I possessed in the past, and while we're on the topic I know a little something about you as well, Joe Necter. Former Lightweight boxing champion, before being beaten by an eighteen-year-old kid, in his first real match!"

"Are you trying to start something?"

"Just remember, You approached me first!"

"Well doesn't mattes we'll settle this in the ring like men!"

"Hmmmmmmmm, yeah!"

-While the atmosphere in the waiting room only got worse the excitement of the people watching and waiting for the next match only got bigger, as the Colosseum staff released some additional data about the fighter known as Bear, Aka Joe Necter.

-Name: Bear

-Haith: 179 cm.

-Age: 41.

-Occupation: Boxer (Former Lightweight champion).

-Punch: 300 kilograms.

"A boxer ha, cool!"

"Makes sense."

"And he's the previous lightweight champion!"

-People only got more and more excited about the next fight, making the waiting for the ring to be repaired ever so worse."

-And in the Infirmary, where Rin was currently being treated by the doctor the audience's excitement coud still be heard. And It managed to finally wake up Rin, who was sound asleep on the table.

"Aw, where am I, and what's that noise?"

"You're In the Infirmary again, and those are the annoying cheer's of the people who cant wait for the next slaughter fest!"

"The Infirmary, I see..."

So I lost.

-As he said those words to himself, tears started flowing from his eyes, no matter how much he tried to stop them he couldn't, they just wouldn't stop.

It seems like I'm nothing more then all talk and no bite, with this chance lost I missed what may be my only chance at any clues about reviving you.

"...Listen here kid, I don't know why this tournament meant so much for you, but there is always another time!"

Another time, huh, I'm pretty sure he was watching from somewhere, and after seeing me lose, not to mention after I was so overconfident... I doubt he will come in contact again, not if I don't have the money.

-And while he continued to cry for a while longer a thought came to mind.

He said he just wanted the money, he didn't care how I got it. So there is still a chance to get to the money without winning...

"ha...haha...hahahah...hahahahahah!"

"Crazy kid, well suit yourself."

-With the time pa.s.sing at its own speed, it finally came. With the maintenance finally being over, and the Ring repaired, it was time for the final round of the semifinals which the audience was more than ready for.

"Ok, ok, you crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds I hear ya, you're all excited about this match."

"Archer Vs Eyepatch was pretty hype, but this is the match you're all waiting for it seems, we have Rex Vs Bear!"

"YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!!!"

-From Dwarfy's left side Bear walked out in his red boxing shorts and gloves, while being covered with a mantle, while still revealing his side cross scars and the face full of pride.

-And from his Right, Rex walked out like a boss. His s.h.i.+rt open, revealing his eight pack and lean muscles, while his hands were in his pockets, only showing a small smile, just like he was going to a party, not a deathmatch.

"We have both of the Gladiators looking as calm as possible, let's see how long they can keep that!"

"Now Fight!"

-Unlike before both of them just stood there, neither one of them making the first move.

"Say, how about we give them what they want and don't hold back."-Said Rex.

"You were planning on holding back, that would have been the biggest mistake of your life!"

"Huuuuuh, fine then."

-Rex pulled his hands out from hid pockets and started stretching, that's how you know he's serious.

He... Is he making fun of me?

This guy...you're just a criminal, a murderer who doesn't know a single thing about professional fighting, a street fighter with no teaching or style. Seeing someone like you who takes tournaments likely...It makes me mad!

-Bear's mantle fell from his back as he started transforming into his half-human, half bear form!

"Roar!"

when I was little my father once took me hunting with him, that's when I saw it... The pure strength and power of a bear. While my father was shooting it with his gun, it took the bullets head-on and just kept advancing.

So just like the bear, I saw that day I kept pus.h.i.+ng no mether what kind of obstacle was standing in my way. Being two meters tall, or short but with the power of a thank, I pushed through my limits and beat them all!

-With his transformation finished, he charged forward, heads first towards Rex. Ready to start the fight with a right hook!

"I'll show you the power of a Bear!"

"Guah!"

-But Bear's charge didn't go as planned, as Rex used his right leg to kick him in the chest before his hook connected. Sending Bear flying before he used his claws on his feet to stop himself before falling!

"I may look like I'm calm and don't give a s.h.i.+t about anything, but If you think beating me is going to be easy, Oh do you have another thing coming!"

-Now all serious for a fight, Rex said a statement which left the audience in a state of amazement and Bear in a state of anger!
