dante's plan

chapter 14: dante's plan

In the tense arena, Dante awaited his opponent, and as the moment of revelation arrived, it was none other than Mouba from Team 1 who stepped forward. "So, you want to fight hand-to-hand combat, huh?" Mouba taunted. With a smirk, Dante retorted, "Of course, I don't have any powers." Mouba's laughter filled the air as he remarked about the apparent disadvantage of Team 3, referring to Dante and Beru as non-power users. With a sense of seriousness, Dante simply responded, "We will see."

Meanwhile, on another part of the stage, Beru and Zelto faced off. Beru, catching his breath, anticipated Zelto's move, but Zelto's intelligence dictated otherwise. Instead of attacking, Zelto held his ground, causing Beru to act, lunging towards him. In a surprising twist, Beru feigned a strike with his left blade and executed a spinning back kick, catching Zelto off guard. The unexpected move landed a scratch on Zelto's left hand, revealing Beru's versatility beyond his blades.

Switching focus to Dante and Mouba, the anticipation grew as Mouba approached cautiously. Dante adopted a boxing stance, positioning his hands at eye level and his feet apart for stability. As Mouba closed in, Dante executed lightning-fast movements, dodging Mouba's punch with his boxing techniques. Gathering his breath, Dante unleashed an uppercut at incredible speed, but Mouba managed to evade it with a backward movement of his head.

The crowd, unaware of the concept of boxing in this world, was confused by Dante's tactics. Mouba, unsure of Dante's abilities, decided to take the initiative, launching a series of attacks. While Dante skillfully dodged each blow, he was caught off-guard when Rak, Team 1's captain, suddenly intervened with a lightning-infused punch. Dante's defense crumbled, and he was sent crashing to the ground, his left arm injured.

Mouba taunt dante "you are a fool did you forgot this is a 5v5 match"

"I maybe a fool but you underestimate us" dante said with smirk on his face.

Despite his injury, Dante regained his composure and defiantly stood up, acknowledging his carelessness. Mouba laughed at him, but his laughter turned to shock as a frosty wind blew in from Galen's direction. Galen unleashed a powerful punch, shattering Mouba's back and leaving him bleeding. As Mouba endured the impact, Dante commended Galen's effort.

With determination, Dante rushed towards Sonia for healing, catching Rak's attention. Rak sensed Sonia's healing magic and urgently ordered Zelto to intercept Dante. Zelto's incredible speed allowed him to close in on Dante almost instantly, but Beru pursued him, swinging his blades in an attempt to unbalance Zelto. Zelto, however, adeptly evaded Beru's attack.

Despite Beru's failed attempt, Dante had a cunning plan in motion. As Zelto confronted him, Dante's smile revealed his confidence. With swiftness and precision, Dante delivered a powerful punch to Zelto's solar plexus. The unexpected blow caught Zelto off-guard, sending him hurtling towards a stadium wall. Blood spewed from Zelto's mouth as he struggled to breathe after the devastating hit.

Rak, stunned and enraged, shouted at Dante "you bastard how dare you hurt zelto". The chapter concluded with two members of Team 1 severely injured due to Dante's calculated strategy and swift decision-making.
