Chapter 32 Shocked
As they were going at each other, Yola laughed and hit Alix so hard on his left arm that Adora heard the bones shatter.
"Oh no, is he okay?" she asked as he dropped his sword and leaned on his right side for he could not use his left arm.
"This is bad," Adora thought as Sarah sighed.
'If he keeps up like this, a few more hits and Yola might do permanent damage," Sarah said.
"Are you sure you want to go on?" Yola asked as a blue whip made of pure light wrapped around his feet lifting him into the air and hit him into the concrete ground outside of the ring.
"You are such a loser," Yola said as he stomped his feet onto Alix's stomach then smashed his arm that broke, and Alix screamed in pain.
"I... I cannot give up..." Alix thought as Yola's energy formed a red tiger beside him and as it roared the people trembled in fear.
"Oh no, he should really give up, Alix just give up," Nina shouted and the princess sighed.
"You are done for," Yola said as the princesses glared at Alix.
"I swear I will kill you if you don't get up," she said and he heard while stretching for his sword beside him.
'Like hell, I wouldn't want to die in her hands," he said as the tiger changed at him and he pulled the sword which blacked the tiger from getting a tight grip on his arm and instead had a firm lock on the sword.
"Aww, so sad you cannot fight off my powers, I have a lot more," Yola said as his energy flamed up behind him forming the face of a tiger and Adora scoffed.
'Your highness, do something this will permanently damage Alix if he gets hit by that," Nina said as the princess stood up.
"Yo, brat, are you really useless?" she asked as he held onto the sword tightly.
"I don't care what you think, I am not useless..." he responded.
"You sure are being a bitch right now, gonna go down that easily?" she asked, he screamed as he managed to pull the sword while getting up and slashed the tiger causing it to disappear and Yola smiled.
"You have got guts, though it's useless," Yola said as the paws of the tiger which was behind him reached forward to grab Alix but the boy closed his eyes and smiled while he concentrated on his surroundings, as the tiger reached for him he jumped up in the air, swirled around and he moved the sword so fast with his right hand that he slashed Yola on his back causing him to spew blood and the tiger disappeared.
Yola was shocked along with everyone else for no one saw how fast the blade moved.
"I... I am not a loser," he said as he stabbed Yola in his feet with the sword and the boy grunted instead of screaming.
"This won't hold me back brat," Yola said as he disappeared and then reappeared behind Alix punching him across the floor but Alix managed to balance his body and landed on his feet as both of them bled.
"I won't lose to you," Yola yelled as they rushed towards each other and Alix dodged him by side kicking him into the side of the ring then stomped him into the ground causing a crater.
"You are just a mere peasant, a nobody," Yola said as his eyes glowed bright red and his sword appeared in his hand.
'You will die," Yola said slashing Alix across the stomach.
Everyone gasped as Alix fell to the ground and the tiger rose once again behind Yola.
"Stay down," he said as Alix stood back up and the paw of the tiger hit him down to the ground shattering a few of his ribs with the impact but Alix still managed to stand up.
He held onto his sword and his eyes glistened as the tiger was about to strike again but suddenly a huge beam of light appeared from the sword causing an explosion in the ring, the clouds of dust rose from the ground blocking everyone's view.
"I can sense Yola but Alix... he... his presence is stronger," she thought as the dust disappeared when the commanders entered the ring and everyone stared in shock as Yola lay on the shattered floor unconscious and was bleeding while Alix panted with blood running down his face.
"Alix," the princess called out as he was about to fall but she suddenly disappeared and then reappeared before him.
'I got you," she said as she placed his arm around her neck and he smiled.
"Still want to kill me?" he asked and she sighed as the others came into the ring and she placed Alix to lay on the floor as the referee announced him the winner.
Everyone cheered for Alix and the princess looked at him with a smile on her face for he was finally recognized and that was just the first step of what she had in store for him.
"Get him a private room in the hospital, also same with Yola," she said.
"Got it," Nina replied as Alix looked at the princess while she looked at the doctors taking him away.
"Alix, when you are better, we need to talk, got it?" she asked as the doctors came and placed him on a stretcher.
"Got it... also your highness, you owe... me, damn that hurts," he said and the others laughed as they took him away.
"I am surprised your brat did it," Nina said.
"Hmm, he has potential, he just needs to be pushed a little, the fight took a long time, it's probably Yola's longest fight, it's already 10 pm, you guys head home I will go to the hospital," she replied while they stared and the referee came to her at the same time.
'Your highness, Yola's friends want to talk to you," he said.
"Sure, come on, you guys go with Alix to the hospital and don't leave his side, that's an order," she said.
'Got it, careful," Nina replied and the princess winked at her then she left with the others.
