43  Picking Up The Blank Card

"Sammodra..." Zeras muttered that word beneath his breath as he looked at the golden-haired young man in front of him.

With a golden hair that seemed to shine with a golden colour, and golden eyes piercing to the souls, a face down occured between the fighters and Sammodra.

A powerful wave of aura seemed to surround Sammodra's figure, almost suffocating. It was as if having a new cadet meeting a blood-covered commander. But looking at Sammodra, there was something everyone who never knew him before would easily notice, he was young, like a man around his twenties, but he stood at an height of almost 1.9 metres matching even the tallest among the fighters in height.

Even though the crowd cheered loudly for his name, he didn't even look their side and instead keep his eyes peeled on the fighters.

After sizing them up, a smirk appeared on his face before directing his attention away and raising his hands at the cheering Athlantheans.

The fighters gazed at him with disapproval as that smirk looked in every way like a mocking smirk, but Zera's smile got even wider. He could feel Sammodra didn't think of him as a threat at all, as his eyes didn't even stop by a him for half a second.

'Good. Just keep understimating me so I'll suddenly give you the shock of your life in the battle stage.' Zeras thought to himself.

"Since we have all the fighters assembled, then shall we begin the competition immediately." The announcer said causing cheers from the Athlantheans.

"Ok, let proceed to the quarterfinals of this competition then. First, this competition will be a single-knock out, that means the fighters will be pitched against each other and the winner would proceed to the next round all the way till we have the last two fighters."

Now to the choosing of opponents, let's do the Lucky Card Choosing." The announcer said as another blue robed man emerged bringing with him a tray that contained seven golden coloured cards.

"Now this golden cards are exactly seven which is also the number of fighters. Each fighter will pick one of the card and crack it open, the name on it is who they will be fighting for this stage.

Since there are seven fighters for a one-on-one match, then one of the cards is blank which is the Lucky Card and the chooser will automatically move unto the second stage if picked.

Now let the Lucky card chose begin."

The blue robed man took the tray as he moved to each of the fighters and they each picked up a card, Zeras was the last as he picked up the card without thinking much of it.

"Now with the cards choosen, let's open it to find out who the lucky man in this competition is and who will be our first fighter in this competition."contemporary romance

Zeras tore-off the golden card and right there, he saw a card which was blank. A smirk appeared on his face as he raised it up, shocking the crowd and the other fighters.

It seems the young chap get to move into the semi-final without breaking a single sweat.

"It seems our lucky winner today is Zeras Celestria of Ligeris City and to the order of the fight, we have:

1. Amedeo Sponge of Midas City Vs Julius Plankton of Plankton City.

2. Tristan Sea-horse of Limaga city Vs Raiain Octopile of Mermon City.

Finally, Pierre Tillapian of Midus city Vs Sammodra Zean.

With the fighters choosen, the rule of the battle is: The battle immediately stops when one of the fighter surrenders or is knocked out. With that said let the first round begin"

One of the burly man with silver armor and trident moved down the battle stage followed by the lean crooked eye old man, as they stood on the battle stage.

Zeras eyes narrowed as he knew this was the moment to witness the power of the fighters and learn of their secrets hence easily defeating them in the next trial.

The fighters immediately got into a battle stance as Amedeo looked at the lean old man with a mocking smirk. He was in every way smaller than him, height and build.

"Ready, Goooooo!"

"CLAAAAAAAAAAAAANG."

Two tridents clashed powerfully, causing a circular ripple through the entire battle stage.

The first face-off unfolded and a figure was immediately sent skidding backwards from the collision stopping just at the edge of the battle stage.

It was the old man Julius.

Zeras looked at the result strangely as he couldn't believe the lean old man dared to confront his opponent in brute strength when it shows Amedeo himself focused solely on strength.

"Is that all you've got, old man" Amedeo sneered as he swam towards the old man with speed. His trident immediately slammed out with speed towards the old man who suddenly faded away appearing behind him in the next second.

Piercing towards his back, the old man's trident was repeld away by Amedeo who managed to block the attack at the last second.

The old man immediately disappeared once again shocking the whole crowd as he moved around the battle stage attacking Amedeo from different directions, but strangely even though the Amedeo was burly, he could still keep up with the old man's barrage stopping all his sneak attacks one inch before they dug into him.

The crowd were held on their seets as they watched the trident closed in just an inch from dealing a strike yet getting stopped at the last second.

Zeras looked at the fight as he directed his attention away and looked at Sammodra instead but he saw his eyes were cold and disdain was written all over his face at the face-off between both fighters.

A trident's throngs moved towards Amedeo's side, but instead of blocking it with the trident like he had always done, he suddenly wrap his left hand on it, holding it in place as the old man's barrage came to a halt.

"Got you..." Before the old man could even think of whether to leave the trident or wriggle it out of his opponents hand. An horrifying force slammed on his head, sending him bouncing away on the battle stage as he landed on the edge of it.

Amedeo smiled brutally as he slammed his trident on the man's face sending him flying while he bent his upper body after that before throwing the trident forward with all his power.

The trident soared forward with the speed as the old man's eyes widened in horror when the trident pierced into his chest, his eyes were filled with regret as Amedeo walked towards him with a sinister smile before forcefully removing his trident from the man's body, causing a violent expulsion of blood that stained the battle stage.

The old man immediately collapsed on the ground as his body immediately went lifeless.

"Winner Amedeo Sponge of Midas City." The burly man raised his trident up, pride on his face as he slowly rose up from the battle stage.

"Next Tristan Sea-horse Vs Raiain Octopile."

The old man called out causing both fighters to descend on the battle stage as they both fought brutally, but in the end the merman won due to his unbelievable speed and ended up defeating Tristan by making him concead.

"For the final fight, we have Sammodra Zean Vs Piere Tillapian."

The crowd even with Zeras stood with bathed breath as the entire stage went silent. This was the fight they all wanted to watch and Zeras also focused his attention to the extreme as he'll finally be witnessing the might of the so-called strongest fighter of Atlantis.
