The Ancient Genes

"Woooaaahhh!!"'

The Audience cheered in excitement as they looked at Axle and Oslen exchanging bullets and arrows.

Those two were really fighting it very close, one mistake and they would be out any second. Hence, the excitement level of the crowd was shooting through the roof.

The fight earlier between other members had already made people excited, and now, this was like an icing on the cake.

…

'This guy…' Axel frowned as he hid behind a rock for cover. Even though he was supposed to have advantage in firing speed, Oslen wasn't letting him an inch.

The guy covered his arrows in lightning, this was making his attacks much more annoying. Even if the arrows passed by Axel, the lightning would try to attach itself to the charge in his body and shock the hell out of him.

'I haven't heard anything from Terry and Eren. The two of them are probably down, this is bad..' Axel frowned. Time was running out for him. If he didn't do anything fast, they would once again lose and end up in second place.

"Are you going to only hide? It seems Arcane without their monster members are just a bunch of cowards." Oslen's mocking voice came from the opposite side, but Axel wasn't a fool to take that childing provocation to heart.

'Provocation?' Axel's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I can't compare with your Heroic father, at least to the one in the rumors. I am sorry that I didn't live up to your expectations." Axel retorted.

He was already aware about things that happened around. He knew that Omen Roxley was a piece of shit, and got killed by the Roxley Lord.

Oslen frowned a bit when his father's name came out of nowhere, and Axel's choice of words were indeed a bit provoking, "What do you mean by the 'one in the rumours'?"

"What else could I mean you moron? Don't you understand simple language? I haven't met your father, so I have only heard about him from other people."

"Those are facts and not rumors.." Oslen retorted.

"I will call them rumors to be honest. I mean as much as I heard about his heroic deed, I have also heard about his sh*tty character and sc*mbag of a son.."

"Y-You!" Oslen's face began to turn dark, and so did most of the people's faces in the Arena outside.

But, the smarter ones realized that a mind game was being played.

"Take that back!!" Oslen roared in anger.

"What are you shouting for? Don't you know an empty vessel sounds a lot? Are you trying to turn the lies into reality by shouting? Truly a thing a sc*mbag would do.." Axel sighed. "Maybe the rumors about his sh*tty characters were also true.."

"Shut up!!" Oslen roared in anger.

"Now that I think, doesn't it seem that he died early for his sh*tty deeds? It truly makes much more sense now.." Axle's face lit up in realization.

"You b*stard!!" Oslen suddenly pulled a bow, and a lighting crackled as an arrow much stronger than the previous ones shot towards the rock.

Axel immediately felt a chill behind back, and jumped away from his hiding.

"Bang!"

The rock exploded into pieces from Oslen's attack.

"Don't run now!!" Oslen immediately pulled his bow, and shot more arrows towards Axel.

'Crap! He was holding back! But, as long as I dodge it..' Axel gritted his teeth as he ran around the place. He was nimble on his feet and continuously dodged the arrows.

Explosions continuously rang around the place, and several craters formed all around.

The land beneath almost began to shake as if an earthquake had hit them.

After a few minutes…

Both Oslen and Axel stood there panting heavily.

Oslen was thoroughly exhausted while Axel was feeling exhaustion as well. But, that wasn't the major problem with him. He had actually had one of his hands loosely hanging from his body.

It was burnt from lightning.

He had actually taken a hit, and this made his situation even worse.

"Finally, I have cornered you. You rat.." Oslen said as he slowly raised his bow and pointed it towards Axel. There was a rock wall behind Axle, and he could only climb up above to reach the peak, aside from that, there wasn't any other escape route.

"Did you really think I was running aimlessly?" Axel suddenly smiled. This guy seemed to have observed him carefully, and hence was aware of his abilities.

The piece of sh*t would immediately run away when he saw black runes light up on his guns. Hell, he seemed to have studied about various formations for this match, especially the ones that Axel had used during the two events.

So, Axel could only do one thing..

Distract him, and lay down his formations.

Oslen suddenly had a bad feeling and he immediately pulled his bow. But, before he could release the arrow, his body froze. Several black colored runes appeared all around their battle field connecting into one big formation.

Oslen glared hatefully at Axel, but there wasn't anything he could do.

"Stop!"

A shout suddenly came from the distance, and Melan had arrived.

Axle's eyes turned grim, and he immediately shot at Oslen.

"Bang!"

On the other side, Melan threw his spear in an attempt to stop Axel as well.

But, it didn't go as planned.

Oslen was struck right in the middle of his forehead, and his figure turned into white particles of light. The arrow that was loaded in the bow was released and went flying way above Axel's head.

On the other side, the spear thrown by Melan pierced into Axel's thigh and his face twitched in pain.

"Damn it.." Axel cursed as he stumbled and crashed onto the ground. Even though he had tried his best, things didn't seem to work in his favor.

"You were a tough opponent, I will admit it. But, the win is ours this time.." Melan slowly walked towards Axel.

"Rumble!"

'What's the sound?' Both Axle and Melan had the same thought.

Suddenly, the two's eyes fell on the peak of the mountain.

The arrow which had been released by Oslen before disappearing had actually struck a huge boulder and destroyed its holding. And, now that huge thing was coming down tumbling towards them.

"Crap!"

Melan immediately tried to run, but he was stupid to forget about Axle.

Axel immediately lifted his handgun, and black colored runes lit up on it as he fired at the guy.

"Bang!"

There was no way that he was missing at this close of a range.

"You!!" Melan's eyes widened as he felt piercing pain on his back, but he could only watch in horror as his figure froze to that spot while black colored runes appeared over his body, halting its movement.

Axel on the other hand, desperately crawled aside, and moved away from the path of that thing.

And, his luck stuck with him. The boulder rolled a few inches away from his feet, and crushed Melan who was soon engulfed in a white light before being kicked out of the place.

'That was close..' Axel wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and with that the event at Trinity finally came to an end.

Arcane had won.
