The Atlantean Compensator Chapter 79

. . .

Later on, 3 other combats took place .

Aciya vs Joshou

Beazly vs Ayla!

And the last one was . . .

Herald Vs Heracles!

The first two fights were a very odd matchup that really did not serve Joshou and Beazly well .

They both lost, but Joshou put a very respectful effort against the Mistress!

Beazly couldn't take it seriously against the softest woman there is, it was really funny seeing them both trying to fight .

Ayla simply used her sensual manipulation in order to put Beazly in the ground .

As for the last fight, it was one for the ages . . .

Herald knew his luck would make him face Heracles, so he was prepared for it .

Alkeyder . "Just make it as tough as possible on him . I won't kid you and say you can win .

But this is a good chance to put what you've learnt these past two months into application, especially ur relation with Ether, and your Qarin .

But . . . Who knows?

Maybe your Qarin will turn out stronger than even Heracles . . . "

Herald does not reply, and slowly walks into the center of the Arena, where Heracles is already there waiting for him . "

Alkeyder's team has in fact thrashed Heracles, 4 wins and one tie .

This put him in a very bad mood really, he's willing to go all in and atleast take a win and make it less embara.s.sing .

His face shows no emotion but focus and intimidation .

Herald looks at him for a second and knows this will be even tougher than the times they were training before . . .

Sahaqiel counts to three, and starts the fight!

Herald jumps way back, to keep enough distance between him and Heracles, in order to have time to counter attack and think before doing something .

He summons Ether next to him!

Herald, communicating with the Jinnie through his mind .

"Ether! I think you already know we have a tough task here, We'll have to fuse our souls on a very high rate . "

"Don't worry!" He replies .

Ether tries to go inside of Herald's body, but . . . He was rejected!!!

Herald looks shocked .

" . . . What's happening?"

Ether . " . . . I've been kicked out by your Qarin .

He would not allow me to fuse with your soul!"

Herald . "What . . . . Why haven't Alkeyder told me this can happen??"

Ether . "Watch out!!"

Heracles attacked with his flames from afar . Ether gets in the way and protects his companion .

Jinnies are creatures made of fire, it does not hurt them . Moreover they can manipulate it if they were trained professionally!

But Heracles flames were of very high power, he could barely deflect them .

Heracles moved quickly towards Herald who was left open, with a troubled mind . Ether cannot get fast enough to take the hit .

Alkeyder looks thoughtfully . . . And Aciya worriedly!

Boom!!! The sound of Heracle's punch was so loud, as the flames exploded off of his fists .

This can knock even the toughest opponents unconscious . .

But . . .

Herald blocked it with his arms!!!

"Thank G.o.d he didn't leave me for dead . . . "

His Qarin was there for him this time, Heracles holds Herald from his arms and throws him high in the air! Then jumps towards him and furociously attacks with many punches .

Herald barely is able to whitstand it, So Ether helped him escape and get back on ground .

Sebastin . "Did Herald . . . fly there for a second?"

Oumad . "I am not sure . . Maybe it was only because of Heracles throwing him up there . . "

Ether says to his partner .

" . . I guess he's doing you a bigger favor than what i would've done . "

Herald . "No I doubt, but I am glad he did something at least .

Now I have an additional power source, let's combine everything . But we need a plan . . "

Ether . "I have one . . . "

Heracles stands in his place for a moment, then starts lighting himself up in flames!

Until he became all lit up .

Herald remembers the one time he saw him doing this technic . It was when he fought against Mammon!

This is his most powerful normal power-up .

Heracles rushes back again at him, this time his punch was stronger than what Herald could hold, it almost broke his arm, reaching to his face .

Then he kicks him with his leg up to his stomach, so hard it made him wanna throw up!

Herald though, has found enough strength in him to attack back!

He punches Heracles' face, then lunches a series of acrobatic moves that he himself did not know when he was able to do!

The Master switched from attack to defense as Herald's moves were also getting stronger by the second .

Suddenly!!!

His legs were knocked from behind, making him kneel on his knees .

Herald seizes the opportunity given to him by Ether! And punches the h.e.l.l out of Heracle's face!!!

" . . . What made Master Heracles fall on his knees!???" Beazly asks as they're all gazing on the fight scene .

Heracles' flames . . . . began to turn black! The Atmosphere arround the area, changed again . . .

Ayla . "This feeling again . . . . I hate it . "

Alkeyder keeps on watching in silence . . .

The Atlantean disciple knows that his opponent is again rising his powers to new levels, this is really his only chance to win it . . .

He orders Ether .

"LET US BOTH ATTACK HIM WITH AS MUCH POWER AS WE HAVE!"

Ether holds Heracles body from behind and tries to nullify his flames as much as he can . . For Herald to give his strongest attack .

But the black flames burned him!! And he had to let go . . .

Heracles flames were all dark now, With one scary glance he looked at Ether .

Ether froze in his place! as the black flames were eating everything arround him . . .

It was enough to put the biggest fear in his heart .

Herald as he was powering up to lunch a final attack, has lost control of his body . . .

He looked unconscious!!

A white aura appeared arround his body . and the ground started shaking from the powers of both him and Heracles .

Alkeyder realizes the danger of the situation .

"SAHAQIEL!!! STOP THEM RIGHT NOW!!"

But even with his lightning speed . . . . It was too late!

Both powers clas.h.!.+

The lights were so bright it blocked the view!

The destruction was so great it destroyed the arena!!

Aciya protected the rest with her s.h.i.+eld, as the lights started fading, and everybody waiting for what is the outcome of this furocious battle . . .

Dark flames were the first thing to appear for their eyes .

Aciya looked dead worried and screamed at her husband .

"ALKEYDER!!! WHY HAVEN T YOU STOPPED THEM BEFORE???"

Alkeyder . didn't reply . . .

The smoke cleared, showing both Heracles and Herald standing up, with Herald punching the right side of his Master's chest . . . .

A weird silence took over the place, Alkeyder slowly approached both of them .

Herald, fell on his face to the ground .

Heracles' flames disintegrated and faded away, He leaned towards Herald and lays him on his back .

Not as to make sure he lost the battle, it was geniuinely to see if he was alright, he checked his heartbeat . It was normal!

Alkeyder and Aciya both arrive quickly at the scene .

Aciya gets down to check Herald, Alkeyder stood in front of Heracles .

" . . . Are you okey?"

Heracles replies calmly . "Yeah, How dare you check on me?"

Alkeyder . "For a second, just a second . . .

Never mind!

You have some broken ribs in there, he got you good!"

Heracles . "Yes he did, he has broken fingers as a result of that . "

Then walks off the arena, and goes towards the mansion . .

All the rest join in to check on their friend, this fight was certainly far away from being a fun one .

It looked like a dead match .

Oumad asks . "Is he alright???"

Aciya has tears in her eyes and does not reply to the question, Alkeyder does .

"He is, just some broken bones here and there, he lost conscious because of the overwhelming effort he made . "

Oumad . "Thank G.o.d . . . "

Elara though, noticed the worried face Aciya has . For her to cry, it certainly put doubt into whether Herald is truly okey or not . .

Love puts her hand on Herald's forehead, and begins the healing process .
