Percy’s fight against Zimo raked in the biggest crowd of all time in arena B as not only was the stadium completely sold out , but it was actually overfilled with people packing the last rows while standing instead of seating to house 5000 more spectators than the stadium seats.
The support for Percy was naturally overwhelming however Zimo had his own fans too.
With his dark brown hair and jade white skin , Grils practically drooled over the man as not only was he a disciple of the top sect in the region , but he was also a noble from the central empire with his father being the Duke there.
A noble , an excellent warrior and with outstanding looks , he ticket all the boxes that a girl dreamed off in a man , and to top it all off he had exceptional talent and a superior elemental affinity too.
There was nothing that was lacking in the man as to how God blessed him , however while Percy was handsome too he was not as drop dead gorgeous as Zimo who could make even the coldest ice beauties drool over his charm.
If this was a charm contest he would have won already however it was not , which is why he had to trash talk to Percy before the fight started.
” Such a warm crowd for you hometown prince , hopefully you don’t dissapoint them..
If you beg me now I’ll let you have the first attack so that you don’t get defeated without even getting a chance to strike and save some face.
Afterall , with the level difference between the two of us , you might as well now “.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHad it been Ronan he would have not even heeded to such useless words and ignored the opponent completely. But not Percy , Percy was not someone who could be talked down to by anyone as he calmly retorted
” Oh i heard you ascended to the higher realms when u were 16 , exceptional . I did it at 15 though and if we were the same age i would be stronger than you are by a margin
So don’t worry about me , I’m more talented than you are “.
Percy cut Zimo down right where it hurt him , as it was undeniable that at the same age his achievement was inferior to Percy’s.
His entire life Percy felt the same pressure from Ronan , as his brother achieved whatever he did well before him and he could only stay ahead of him because of the age gap.
Now that he was the younger and more talented one for once , he used it to shrink Zimo down to size as the other party was rendered completely speechless by his retort.
The crowd cheered Percy’s retort and comments like
‘ The prince burnt him without even using fire ‘
were passed around as Zimo felt enraged.
His trash talking strategy had failed and now he needed to talk with his fists to shut the other party up.
As the refree signalled the start of the Match , Zimo charged violently at Percy as Percy prepared his trap.
Percy retreated while running backwards and facing towards Zimo , but while he appeared to only be retreating normally he was actually setting up a trap as he had changed a fire spell that would activate when Zimo stepped on it and cause an explosion.
BOOM!
The trap was activated as Zimo never saw it coming , not realising Percy had pulled off such a trick right at the start.
Before he could recover however he saw Percy charging towards him with one of his fists on fire as he instinctively dodged his uppercut to avoid getting hit by the fire-fist .
His eyes followed Percy’s fists that he had just dodged and he missed the part where Percy pulled a move out of Ronan’s basket and shifted the power from his right fist that his enemy dodged to his left one , as an upper-cut landed squarely on zimo’s jaw to send him flying after being hit by a fire fist!
BAM!
He was sent flying back for 15 meters as he rolled on the arena floor twice before regaining his footing. Staggering as he tried to regain balance.
This time however Percy did not press as he spread his arms wide and soaked the cheers from the crowd , as he taunted Zimo and said ” Looks like i got the first offense of the match , even if you did not intend to give it to me.
How do my fists feel , my less talented opponent? “.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPercy taunted Zimo with trash talk as he used his own words against him , playing mindgames to make him rush blindly for an attack in rage.
Percy had perfectly planned this battle and although he was the weaker fighter he had a plan to turn things around into his favour very fast.
With him managing to land the first blow he was now in control of the momentum of the battle from here on out.
The men in the crowd completely roasted the flub out of Zimo as they cheered Percy on to enrage the opponent even further , but before Zimo could rage a loud shout came from his team’s dugout that said ” USE UR HEAD , UR NOT A MINDLESS BULL “.
Zimo instantly calmed down after hearing that voice as his anger seemed to have dissipated . Looking at Percy with much more stable gaze he restarted the battle while mentaining his distance and using long range attacks .
Just like this Percy’s advantage was neutralized as he lost the initiative to control the battle.
The team behind Zimo was as strong as the fighter himself.
