Chapter 195: First Match

On a huge platform the figure of Alex could be seen, in front of him was his opponent, this person was over two meters tall, possessing an imposing figure. Dodolus Asmar was watching Alex, not saying anything and when the signal to begin the match was given he said.

''Let's have a good fight.'' 

Alex was surprised as he was not expecting such words, nonetheless, he still nodded his head. When he appraised Dodolus he was surprised by what he saw.

'Wow! He's sure strong, way stronger than his brother Kevin.' Alex thought to himself.

Both readied their weapon, Dodolus held a one-handed black spear in his right arm, it was 3m (12 ft), in his left a silver shield (Svalinn). This shield looks like the Hylian Shield you find in The Legend of Zelda, however, instead of blue color, this one is silver and bigger than Hylian Shield.

'Svalinn? Huh! If I'm not wrong, Svalinn is from Norse mythology, Rumor has it that it is the legendary shield that stands before the sun to protect the Earth. I wonder if the two are the same thing.' Alex thought while looking at the silver shield. 

Shaking his head he decided to focus on the match. 

Bang! Bang! 

Alex fired at Dodolus, the latter brought his shield forward to block the bullets. Even though the bullets were faster, Dodolus reaction wasn't less than theirs, he managed to successfully block the bullets. 

''Hah!'' Dodolus gave a battle cry before his figure shot forward like an arrow which has been fired. 

'Fast, but it's still a bit lacking compared to the wolves.' Alex inwardly commented while dodging Dodolus' Forward Stab. 

Dodolus switched stance and performed wide sweeps, Alex's figure disappeared and he reappeared in Dodolus' dead angle and fired. 

Bang! Bang!!!!

Knowing that he couldn't dodge all the bullets in time resulting in him being injured, Dodolus made a split-second decision. Raising his foot before tapping it on the ground, he said, 

{Gravity Zone activate},

Following his words, a gravity zone of thirty meters was created slowing down the incoming bullets, moving his spear, Dodolus destroyed all the bullets before performing charged attack on Alex. He thought under his Gravity zone (around 300 kg increase in weight) Alex wouldn't be able to dodge, and yet Alex was able to easily avoid his attack. 

Alex's figure blurred as he felt an immediate sense of danger after dodging Dodolus Holy Bash, just as he left numerous earth spears emerged from the ground if he was late by a millisecond he would have been impaled. 

Seeing his sneak attack not working, Dodolus wanted to execute his next attack as he knew he must give Alex the time to attack as the latter was stronger than him. By constantly attacking Alex, not letting him attack that he will have the chance of winning, so he thought. 

Suddenly, Dodolus felt a chill running his spine, without hesitation, he put his shield in front of him. 

Boom! 

Dodolus was pushed back, his arm that was holding the shield felt numb, however, he didn't have the time to rest as Alex next attack was already coming, he thought he had blocked it, however, a bullet pierced his right arm forcing him to drop his spear, but before the spear could touch the ground, using his leg he kicked it toward the sky before using his shield to bash at the butt of the spear. 

The black spear was shot at Alex at extremely fast speed. Everything happened in second, him using Phantom Bullet to first attack, then using Homing bullet to injure Dodolus only a few seconds passed.

He was almost caught off guard by Dodolus sudden counterattack, Alex was forced to use Silveria to deviate the spear trajectory from his face as even though he tilted his head to the opposite side he couldn't completely avoid the spear. He managed to dodge the spear, however, he received a small cut on his left cheek. 

While Alex was dodging the black spear, Dodolus jumped back, looking at his right arm, he knew that it has now become useless.

Sighing heavily, Dodolus decided to use his trump card, he quietly chanted, 

''Earth's servant I summon thee to bring justice into this world: Earth Golem.'' 

Rumble! 

There was a rumbling sound, the whole platform shook as if an earthquake was happening, coming from under the platform was a huge figure, it stood over two meters tall, it had a shining body, it was a huge golem. 

Bang! 

The golem punched the platform, the platform shook, Alex jumped back while asking, 

'Sil, do you know where this golem's core is?'

〖In the head if I'm not wrong.〗Silveria responded.

'I thought so, I just want a confirmation. Let see if this golem will obediently let itself get killed.' Alex murmured before shooting at Phantom Bullet toward the head of the golem. 

The latter sensed the incoming threat, so used one of its arms to block the bullet, that arm got destroyed, however, shortly it regrows back. 

Bang! Bang! 

Another two Phantom Bullets were fired, it destroyed half of the body of the golem.

Knowing that it was unlikely for him to be able to kill the golem so easily, Alex decided to target Dodolus, the one controlling the golem.

After shooting the last two Phantom Bullets, Alex also fired a Homing bullet at Dodolus. 

Having being victim of the first Homing bullet, Dodolus was on guard, when he saw a curving bullet-dodging every obstacle on its way, he used Holy Bash to crash against the homing bullet, however, just as he thought he had successfully avoided the danger, a knife suddenly appeared behind him, it was aimed at his head, he saw death coming and he knew he may die if he did nothing.

Just as this thought emerged in his mind, his mind became white, time slowed down and his heartbeat quickened.

Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump!

From the depth of his being, Dodolus heard a call, something was calling him, he felt like he was swimming in murky water, in the depth of the water was shinning silver core. He stretched his arm trying to reach this object, however, he couldn't, he felt frustrated, he was enraged, he must succeed, he must or else he would lose, he would die and he refused this outcome. 

Dodolus roared before trying to touch the silver core once more, this time his finger managed to touch the silver core, then everything disappeared. He was back in the real world, he was still on the platform, the golem had disappeared, the knife was slowly moving toward his head, however, he was not afraid, extending his right who should be unusable Dodolus caught the tip of the knife, at that moment he became surprised as he saw that he was wearing silver armor, this armor was illusionary as if not fully materialized yet. 

''Sorry, it's my win.'' 

Suddenly Alex's voice reached his ears before something pierced his body, his mind went blank he lost consciousness. It was because Alex appeared behind him and used Erase on him. 

''Seriously, to think he would awake another special ability in a fight. How troublesome.''

Alex lamented while recalling what he saw when he appraised Dodolus after that illusionary silver armor appeared on him.

〖There are people like that. Facing death threat they will suddenly awake one of their sleeping powers.〗Silveria said while looking at Dodolus.

'I see.' Alex said while looking in the sky.

[First Match between Alexander Kael Touch and Dodolus Asmar end in Alexander victory.]

Outside the audience was silent, nobody said anything. Their eyes were glued on Alex's figure, they were wondering how Alex's bullet made Dodolus fall unconscious. Freya was frowning trying to figure out what happened.

Elseria knew this happened because his remaining MP was cut off (due to Erase). When one Magic power became zero, one will immediately fall unconscious while experiencing a terrible headache. 

'I wonder what is that ability?' Elseria wondered. She expected to know more about this ability in the incoming fights. 

Talking about the incoming fight, the next one will be interesting. 

〖Next match: Alexander Kael Touch Vs Lilith E. Astaroth.〗
