Chapter 253: Cut Through Steel
There was a reason Steven and Joe had managed to deal with their opponents more easily than expected.
The answer was simple, they had just recently fought each other. And although that fight had been rigged, it hadn’t been without cost. They’d still expended a tremendous amount of energy, their bodies carrying the bruises and scrapes from that encounter.
But there was one person in the arena who hadn’t taken part in that exhausting event. One man who stepped into the ring with no injuries, no energy loss, and no hesitation.
The one they called Elephant.
And from the moment the fight began, it was clear, out of all the competitors present, Elephant was by far the strongest.
Already, he had snapped one of Aron’s batons in half. The weapons weren’t cheap replicas, they were military-grade, reinforced, designed to withstand extreme force. And yet... in Elephant’s hands, they may as well have been twigs.
That one move confirmed it.
The metallic-looking arm he bore wasn’t just for show. It was real.
Still, Aron wasn’t defenseless. He always carried more than one baton. As he reached down and extended his arm, another weapon slid into place with a soft click.
"Haha! Are you a fool?" Elephant roared with laughter. "If it didn’t work once, what makes you think it’ll work again?"
With thunderous steps, he charged forward, intent on grabbing Aron and crushing him.
He was fast, but not faster than Aron. Sidestepping just in time, Aron brought the baton up and swung it hard, aiming right above the elbow joint of the cybernetic arm. A precise strike, sharp and deliberate.
