Gods of Arena

Kang's eyes met with Romeo's for a split second and he looked away, quickly. Kang was now sitting alone, with Romeo a few seats away from him. Romeo seemed a lot fiercer and stronger, with some extra muscles. 'Jin should really get me to the gym, these days. This guy will kill me in a fight'

Jin was standing in the arena, about to go against two fighters at once. One is a longtime top-tier friend, while the other is just a bonus mid-tier. Jin didn't seem scared and Kang wasn't scared for him either. He should win the fight. "Looks like your daddy will be having some trouble, won't he?", Jae mocked Kang. "You really should jump out there before he gets butchered on the ring"

The mid-tier beside him nudged him with an elbow. "Do you think he will win?"

Kang looked at the Arena again. Jin remained just confident. That was all he needed to believe in Jin. "Yes. He's not scared. He will win"

"Yea but he's against two fighters for a reason which we don't know"

"They say he will be titled god-tier", Kang replied. "Isn't that it?"noveldrama

"Well, that can be it. It can also be an execution", the mid-tier said. "The main reason may be just to kill him off"

"Well, he did nothing that could make them want to kill him on the ring"

“It could be the god-tier thing, though..... and probably, it's Jordy they want to kill off”, the mid-tier said. "I heard he's had multiple clashes with the Larger Figures in the past and he even rejected getting a god-tier title" Dennis swung an arm at Jin, flinging a kind of wire out of his hand. Jordy threw a rock at Jin, immediately. Jin bent backwards, avoiding the stone. The wire wrapped around Jin's leg and Dennis tugged at it, pulling Jin up in the air. Jordy smacked him back on the ground.

Jin rolled on the ground with a bleeding head. He flipped back on his feet, as his wound healed quickly. The wire was coming at his leg again and Jordy flung another stone. He raised his hand and caught the stone in his arm, while letting the wire wrap around his leg. Immediately Dennis tugged at the rope, pulling Jin up in the air again, Jin flung the stone back at Jordy, intercepting the oncoming smack. He shot a ball of fire at Dennis before landing.

Jordy rolled huge rocks on the ground, moving speedily at Jin. Jin flipped up, avoiding it, and shot balls of fire at the rocks that came at his, blowing them up in the air He definitely knew how Jordy used his abilities in a fight. Jordy ran at him and landed a blow on his chest, throwing back on the ground. Jin got back up.

Dennis flung his at Jin and Jin raised his arm, letting the wire wrap around his arm. Dennis tugged at the wire but Jin remained on the ground. He pulled back, jerking Dennis up in the air. He swung Dennis at Jordy and fell the both of them on the ground.

"Get up, Jordy", Jin said. "Let's end this. Just the two of us"

Jordy raised his back and stood up. "That's a great idea", he replied and glanced at Dennis who was getting up, slowly. "But I don't think my partner would love to stay out of this" Dennis howled and flung multiple wires at Jin. Jin threw a ball of fire at him, putting a hole in his chest immediately. The wires dropped on the ground, as Dennis fell back and died. "It's just the two of us now", Jin said to Jordy, as they moved in circles.

"If you win this fight, I need you to put my name on the door", Jordy said. "And no one must disrespect it"

"If I lose this fight, I need you to keep an eye on Kang for me", Jin replied. "Help him build his Shin Zhu while he's still here.... There are items in my bag. They will help you get out of this place. I need you to take it.... And take Kang with you" Everyone was staring, confusedly. The two of them had been moving in circles, for a few minutes, without making any move at each other. "What are they talking about?", Kang muttered. "Who knows? They'll still have to fight anyway"

Jordy flung an arm, shooting tiny stones at Jin rapidly. Jin turned his arm in a circle, creating a kind of shield. He pushed back a wave, darting the stones back at Jordy's face. He ran forward and flipped, kicking Jordy back on the ground. Jordy rolled back up.

Jin shot a ball of fire at him, immediately, but Jordy pushed it away, rolling two huge rocks on the ground at Jin. Jin flipped up to avoid it but Jordy shot another stone at him, slamming him against the ground. Jordy stepped closer to him and swung another rock at his head.

Jin held it and they remained still in that position, battling with their strengths. Jin's eyes glowed brightly, like a volcano was about to shoot out of the holes in his head. He pushed back against Jordy, kicking him backwards. Immediately he flipped on his feet, he shot a ball of fire at Jordy, blowing up a stone in his chest. He stepped closer and shot another ball.

Jordy staggered backwards, every time he got it. Jin kept shooting the balls of fire at him, blowing up a stone in Jordy's chest till there was a hole there. Jordy fell on his knees and chuckled. "I thought you would win❞ "You held back", Jin said.

"I didn't... you are holding back now", Jordy replied. "But I knew you would win. I always respected you from the start"

"Get up, Jordy. Let's make it a lot longer"

"No, Jin. I will heal if you don't end this quickly", Jordy said. "End this now. Then you can go ahead with your unbelievable plan to get out of here with that boy."

"I'm not going to hit you when you're down"

"Not when you're the one that put me down", he said and pointed at his head. "Go for the head"

Jordy's head turned to complete stone, with his finger still pointing at his head. Jin glanced at Kang, shortly, creating a ball of fire on his palm. He looked to a side and shot the fire at Jordy's head.

Jin stood there. His eyes seemed to be closing up, as he could barely see anything at all. Jordy fell on his chest, with his head blown up. The thud of Jordy's drop on the ground seemed to spark an ache in Jordy's head. He could barely hear the claps and screams or anything at all. All he heard was his conscience screaming at and the incoherent voices of every fighter that died on the arena, blowing into his ears with the cold wind.

The door opened and the soldiers marched out. He staggered towards the door, and the claps and roar of praise followed him. He wasn't enjoying it. He needed a deep sleep and some time by himself.
