Chapter 90: Taking Clannad’s soul
"Finally, we have our final confrontation!"
The voice of the hostess resounded in the arena. The spectators were at the edge of their seats.
During the first moments of the fight, the spectators were disappointed to see everyone gang up against one person. They had come to see a rumble, a messy battle with unexpected twists and turns.
But as the match went on, Hex surprised them beyond their imagination. Even with multiple techniques against him, he time and again remained standing. And not once had he lost the upper hand.
"Who will win," the hostess continued, "the youth champion or the dark horse, a fitting name probably as his black hair flutters in the wind, like the dark manes of a majestic horse."
While the hostess joked and the spectators cheered, Hex looked at Clannad. He didn't attack immediately.
'Will he transform completely into a beast?' Hex wondered curiously as he stared at the young man.
Clannad looked less like a man, and more like a beast. Even his facial structure had changed. His feet elongated, resembling hooves.
'Those slits do resemble a reptilian beast,' Hex thought. He waited for Clannad's transformation to finish. He wanted the beast's soul to become the primary soul, hoping it would make it easier to absorb it.
ROAR!
He didn't have to wait long. Clannad's bestial roar was enough to know he was facing a beast now. A dangerous beast that had reached the Disaster stage.
