Chapter 138: Avery Vs. Liam.
The citizens from Frostyland covered their faces with disappointment.
Even if the chance of victory was slim, they still had hopes in Liam's teammates.
The second member of Frostyland fought few seconds ago, and he got defeated in only 10 seconds against Seiji.
''Come on, Liam!'' Loud cheers echoed in every household.
Back in the stadium.
Liam watched as another one of his friends was taken away towards medical bay.
The second member of Frostyland got injured quite heavily.
Liam narrowed his eyes and looked at Seiji.
He stood up and cracked his neck.
''B-Be careful,'' Kara said with worry.
Liam didn't answer— he walked to the arena and stood some distance away from Seiji.
But Seiji looked at him with a mocking look.
Liam's eyebrow twitched.
Seiji put his hands up, ''I give up.'' After those words, he left the arena, but before that, he mockingly looked at Liam.
Avery smiled and stood up.
The audience got instantly louder.
It seems that Iceland is planning to have proper 1v1 with their strongest members!
''Isn't Iceland a little bit too arrogant?''
''Yeah… They don't seem to care about hierarchy anymore.''
''Can this pretty boy even defeat Liam? Liam is incredibly strong! He is in the same level as Kings!''
''Not sure… But Iceland seems confident.''
''Tsk, useless arrogance… They don't understand that they only gather hate this way. They don't have enough strength to be arrogant.''
The audience members around him nodded thoughtfully.
Avery entered the arena, and his handsome looks earned a round of cheering from the female audience.
Ichiro finally opened his eyes and looked at the match.
Michael in the medical bay looked at the screen with a pained face.
He knows that Liam won't win this match.
Alice looked at the screen as well.
They have been sitting silently since Rafael left.
Both of them were too shy to open a conversation.
Liam's mother and sister clenched their fists and prayed for Liam's victory.
''FOURTH MATCH! AVERY VS. LIAM!''
''FIGHT!''
Liam was the first one to make a move.
He leaped into the air and unleashed his monstrous punch!
Avery looked with a small smile and easily dodged the punch.
His movement looked smooth like he was dancing.
Liam unleashed another dozen of punches, but Avery with a calm smile dodged them all.
Liam didn't get frustrated, he was barely trying, and he knew Avery was holding back his speed.
He did a couple of low kicks, but Avery easily dodged them by stepping backward.
But then…
*SWOSH*
Liam accelerated with great speed and appeared in front of Avery.
[Sinful Blessing!]
Everyone in the stadium felt the aura around Liam changing.
Like a raging beast was unleashed.
His fist was only an inch away from Avery's face.
But Avery's was still calm— he moved his head out of the way and easily dodged the fist.
But… Liam smirked.
His punch changed directions all of a sudden!
Avery watched as the fist was about to hit his cheek.
But, Avery with inhumane reaction time, moved his head backward, dodging the punch.
'How?!' Liam was shocked— he quickly retreated and felt sweatdrops trickling down his cheek.
Avery looked slightly annoyed after the punch almost hit him.
'He flicked his wrist and managed to change the direction of his punch…' Avery thought, but he didn't care about such useless tricks.
Liam gritted his teeth and went after Avery.
He chased after him, but his every attack missed the target.
[Sinless Synchrony!]
Liam's arms became blurry.
He attacked with fists, palms, even using his fingers.
But Avery calmly dodged everything.
He hasn't made any intention of attacking yet.
Even his dodging was done half-heartedly.
It was like he was making fun of Liam's seriousness.
Liam was fuming in anger.
''Fine…'' Liam muttered and stomped the ground.
*BAM*
The arena shook.
Avery stumbled a little bit.
Michael in the medical bay widened his eyes, 'He used the trick I used against him…'
[Sinful Blessing!]
Liam clenched his fist powerfully and unleashed his strikingly fast punch.
Avery didn't look concerned— he once again dodged.
But then Liam's fist changed directions once again.
Avery was prepared— he circled around Liam's body and appeared behind him.
Liam widened his eyes and kicked behind him.
Avery smugly smiled and retreated.
Liam's kick missed, and his face became paler, 'He is playing with me… He could have won…'
Avery turned his head towards Ichiro and had a smirk on his face.
Ichiro snorted and closed his eyes, 'If you think provocation works on me… You are mistaken… I have fought hundreds of arrogant pricks in my previous life… Everyone had the same ending… They ended up in hospital.'
Avery looked towards Liam once again and saw him fuming in anger.
''Is this all? Honestly, I am disappointed.'' Avery said.
''Yeaaa!'' Members from Iceland cheered and laughed towards Liam.
The members from Iceland have also suffered humiliation in some way.
They have never won against High School of Fighting, which made them angry.
Whenever they are close to getting into Battle of Countries.
A Martial Commander fights the last match and wins with ease.
Destroying their hopes and dreams.
They hate High School of Fighting with passion, and now that they finally have a chance in victory… They wanted to humiliate their opponents.
''D-Don't…'' Liam muttered.
''Don't what?'' Avery asked with a mocking look on his face.
''Don't… Don't make fun of us!'' Liam roared and leaped into the air.
His eyes showed his intent to win this match.
His muscles bulged, and his aura became dozens of times stronger.
Avery snorted, still had the same mocking look on his face.
''DON'T MAKE FUN OF US!'' Liam roared and punched.
Avery again dodged before the punch was even near him.
Liam didn't care and unleashed his anger.
*BOOM*
His punch contacted the arena, which annihilated the platform of the arena!
*CRACK*
*BOOM*
The debris of the arena flew in the air, and the arena, which was 5 meters in height, became much smaller.
The arena was utterly destroyed, and Avery and Liam only had a foothold in some debris.
The audience widened their eyes out of shock.
Such strength!
Liam turned his murderous gaze towards Avery.
Avery grinned, ''I see…''
Avery leaped in the air and landed on another arena.
The Referee got injured because of the debris and was unconscious.
Lyon and Irwin decided to let them fight in another arena, but touching the ground outside the arena is still forbidden.
Liam gritted his teeth and jumped after Avery.
He unleashed another punch and hit the floor of another platform!
*BOOM*
*CRACK*
The second arena got destroyed as well!
Avery only watched with a mocking look, 'Like a wild animal… So ugly.'
