nFrom the earlier stalemate, the Dokkaen observed and realized the human would be a mage of some kinds specialized in long-range attacks. Hence, it hurriedly rushed towards the opponent without further delay, intending to finish the fragile mage once and for all.

nBut who would have known that the harmless-looking human had already prepared an 'invisible' surprise for it...

nUpon seeing the incoming mana bolt, the rushing Dokkaen had no time to avoid as he was running too fast.

nSo, it put its entire momentum towards the muscular right leg to put a short stop on the run while clenching the left fist tightly together and pulling the said fist to the back.

nSimultaneously, a green filmy layer of energy suddenly came out of nowhere, covering the Dokkaen's entire left fist...

n

"Gale Punch!

" The Dokkaen warrior growled in the universal language.

nThen it promptly punched out powerfully at the incoming mana bolt...

n*Whoosh*

nBizarre enough, a green wave made of wind energy was instantly detached and launched out from the Dokkaen's fist, moving head-on towards the incoming mana bolt.

nMeanwhile, the Dokkaen, who had lost its momentum significantly because it stopped to punch earlier, put its two thick arms to cover the front, shielding the view ahead completely.

nA split second later, the two 'energy' attacks collided against one another...

n*BOOOOMMMM!!!*

nThe explosion happened when the two attacks collided as the explosion of two types of condensed energy resonated out deafeningly within the large arena...

nThe explosion was extremely powerful as the shockwave could be felt by the audiences above the walls, causing those people's clothes to flutter along with the gusty winds...

n

"Damn...

"

nThe voice of someone cursing rang out inside the amphitheater.

nThat certain someone was the Dokkaen as it appeared the muscular outlander was not so lucky. The explosion had happened only approximately three meters away, causing its body to be driven back along the dirt ground, leaving two long wide grooves behind.

n*Schrooch...*

nThe schrooching noise resounded out as the Dokkaen was pushed back further away...

nMeanwhile, dust and dirt were also blown everywhere from the explosion earlier, creating the mild desert storm within the spacious arena.

nThe turbulent wind caused by the wind energy and destructive power of mana bolt combined was nothing to be taken lightly.

nWhen the Dokkaen finally stopped skidding along the yellow ground, it lowered the two arms to take a look past the scattering dust in the air until it finally saw the human mage rushing away to the arena's far end.

n

"Hmph! You can never escape my grasp.

" The Dokkaen said with a low voice in scorn.

nSimultaneously, the bulky creature dashed forward swiftly at the same speed as earlier.

nAt the same time, around its two thick legs spotted the same green energy as earlier that seemed to be boosting the Dokkaen's speed even more. Additionally, the creature's left hand also had the same green energy, covering like a filmy layer.

nIt came fully prepared this time...

n*Tak* *Tak*

n*Tak* *Tak*

nThe Dokkaen rushed swiftly towards the human, whom was showing his vulnerable rear towards it...

n'Showing your back to me is a total mistake...'

nWhen the Dokkaen saw its enemy's carelessness, it thought in disdain before it punched out its left clenching fist towards the human's back...

n

"Gale Punch!

" The creature growled lightly.

n*Whoosh*

nSuddenly, a light-green energy clump went towards the 'unaware' Jeremy's back swiftly...

nAt this time, if someone saw the current expression of the 'unaware' Jeremy, who was showing his back towards the Dokkaen, they would obviously realize the man had some mischievous plans within his mind...

nBecause... he was grinning widely in satisfaction despite his back would be bombarded by the 'Gale Punch' soon.

nWhen the 'Gale Punch' had just detached out from the Dokkaen's fist, Jeremy suddenly turned back and mumbled to activate one of the two long-prepared spells,

n

"Mana Bolt

"

n*Whoosh*

nSimultaneously, the mana bolt was formed out of nowhere, within a split second behind Jeremy, and flew quickly in a straight line to collide with the gale punch.

nMeanwhile, the Dokkaen warrior, who was chasing Jeremy from behind, had to stop the footsteps and cover its front view with the two large arms yet again to shield against the upcoming explosion.

nThen...

n*BOOOMMMM!!*

nThe deafening sounds rang out once again within the arena, causing dust and dirt to scatter chaotically...

n*Cough* *Cough*

nWhile coughing lightly after some dust particles went into his nose, the Dokkaen thought annoyingly to himself,

n'This damned human can cast a spell so fast...'

nWhen the muscular Dokkaen lowered its two arms and prepared to rush ahead, it suddenly spotted something from the corner of its eye.

n

"Hmm...?

"

nSo, it turned its head to the right side to see what the thing was...

n*Whoosh*

nIt was yet another mana bolt, coming in its direction out of nowhere...

n'Oh, no...' The Dokkaen thought in horror.

nIn fact, the mana bolt was launched the moment when the two prior attacks almost collided, causing it to be shielded by dust and dirt, not to mention that the Dokkaen had used its two thick arms to cover its face, too.

nFurthermore, Jeremy had used his mind power to control the mana bolt to curve in a semicircle towards the ignorant Dokkaen's right flank, making the latter unaware of the incoming spell.

nUpon seeing the incoming mana bolt, the Dokkaen's eyes and mouth widened in shock and horror before it instinctively swung the morningstar in the right hand towards the approaching 'bomb'...

n*Whoosh*

nThen the two 'objects' collided...

n*BOOOMMMM!!!*

nAnother booming noise rang out once again...

nSoon, something flew out from the dusty area before dropping and sliding with the ground for some meters with the thudding sounds...

n

"Woahh!!!

"

n

"Blood!!!

"

n

"Kill him!!!

"

n

"KILL HIM!!!

"

nSimultaneously, the exciting shouts from the audiences were finally heard by Jeremy, who moved 'stealthily' within the arena, as the booming noise had died down...

nIt seemed like those half-sane people would be triggered every time they saw blood or a clash between two gladiators happened.

n
