《Red Road》Chapter 29 - Blinded by Fury

Kiron walked into the circle where Rovo was standing.
But to his surprise, Rovo started laughing, “Fists and feet have no eyes, right?” He said with an evil grin on his face.
“That’s correct. No one can be blamed for any injuries!” Kiron decided to play along. If he could harm Rovo without receiving any form of retaliation from others… It’s a good situation for Kiron!
One of the disciples that were standing around the ‘arena’ walked out of the spectators’ crowd, “Then, we all agree that no matter what injuries are seen here today, no one will receive any punishment later on?”
Both Kiron and Rovo nodded in agreement.
“Alright… Then, begin the match!” The disciple said with a loud voice, allowing everyone in the room to hear.
Rovo immediately exploded forwards like an arrow. He came charging towards Kiron, who was just standing still, waiting for Rovo to arrive.
“Hah, he must be so scared that he doesn’t even dare move!” Rovo thought to himself. He thinks that Kiron isn’t moving because he is too scared.
Rovo stopped up right before Kiron, lifting his arm, preparing to throw a punch towards Kiron.
But, Rovo wasn’t the only person to throw a punch. Kiron who stood still, positioned himself properly and threw a punch towards Rovo!
*Bang*
Everyone stared at the scene with shocked expressions on their faces. Kiron had actually met Rovo head on! Their fists collided, creating a huge sound. The reinforced tiles on the ground all had cracks in them, the impact from the colliding fists had almost destroyed the ground below them!
The spectators all stared at the scene, they expected Rovo to come out on top… But they were actually equal in strength! No… Kiron was actually able to make Rovo retreat a few steps!
Kiron at the Profound Practitioner Realm was able to force Rovo at the Profound Spiritual Realm to step back! A scene like this was truly incredible in the eyes of the spectators.
“How?” Rovo thought to himself while trying to hide the trembling in his arm. Being forced back by some brat at the Profound Practitioner Realm? This only made Rovo even angrier.
Rovo had only mastered Profound Skills that works with his axe. So he couldn’t use any Profound Skills without his weapon.

“Just a fluke… Something like that won’t happen again! I must’ve underestimated that Kiron a bit. I’ll use all my strength this time!” Rovo kept trying to convince himself that he was pushed back because he didn’t use all of his strength.
Kiron got tired of standing at the same spot, so he pounced himself towards Rovo, throwing a punch towards his face.
Rovo noticed Kiron pouncing towards him, so he prepared to counter with a kick.
He put all of his Spiritual Energy into his leg, hoping to destroy Kiron with that one kick.
“Not good!” Kiron thought to himself. He can’t take that leg head on, and his positioning was bad, so he has no way of avoiding it. He should’ve been more patient!
Kiron stared at the leg that was coming towards him, he changed the direction of his punch. He was going to meet Rovo’s leg head on!
*Bang*
Kiron managed to stop Rovo’s leg, but his arm was knocked back in the process. But, he wasn’t going to stop there.
He was currently in a position where he is unable to punch hard enough to damage Rovo, so he decided to kick him instead.
As Rovo was preparing to take advantage of the situation, he saw a kick coming towards him!
*Boom*
An explosive kick landed on Rovo’s chest! Rovo was sent flying at least 50 meters before landing on the ground. His balance was a mess, so he ended up falling down onto his back after landing on his feet.
Everyone stared at Rovo as he got back up on his feet, then they turned their heads towards Kiron. From their point of view, Kiron had absolutely no injuries on his body. He was actually dominating someone at the Profound Spiritual Realm!
Rovo got back up on his feet and looked at Kiron, “Brother Kiron, you are indeed formidable! It’s a shame that I am not good when it comes to unarmed fighting. How about we bring out our weapons? Then we can fight with all our strength!”
The spectators started roaring. Bring out their weapons? Everyone knew that Rovo got his fame from being formidable with his axe. And Kiron… He was just known as someone who had created a Spiritual Bond with a Divine Beast!

Kiron started laughing, “You really want to fight with weapons? I don’t mind. But remember, weapons don’t have eyes!” Kiron had wanted to try out the Crimson Devourer for a while now!
A smile appeared on Rovo’s face as he took a gigantic green axe out of interspatial ring, “That’s right! Our weapons don’t have any eyes!”
Everyone stared at the gigantic green axe in Rovo’s hands. The axe was bigger than Kiron, and it seems to weigh at least 1,300kg!
But, just as everyone were staring at Rovo, Kiron took his Crimson Devourer out of his interspatial ring. While the Crimson Devourer is smaller than Rovo’s green axe, it did carry a more profound aura.
Rovo didn’t want to wait any longer. He pounced himself towards Kiron, aiming his axe towards Kiron’s head. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Kiron.
Kiron didn’t hesitate at all upon seeing the axe coming towards him. He instantly positioned himself properly, then he lifted the Crimson Devourer, which weighs 1,500kg, and started preparing for the Rovo’s attack.
*Bang*
The Crimson Devourer collided with the Green Axe! But again, Kiron didn’t move a single step! Rovo struggled just to not lose the grip on his axe!
“HOW?!” Rovo was furious. He just couldn’t understand why he was losing to Kiron in such a manner.
And Kiron hadn’t even used all his strength! He wanted to take it slow and enjoy the battle! This was the first time he got to try out his Crimson Devourer!
Rovo jumped back 10 meters. He changed his stance, he going to use a Profound Skill!
“Then… You’re strong enough to fight me evenly! I will use my Thunder Strike skill on you!” Rovo wanted to kill Kiron, but he didn’t want the others to think badly of him. So he tried to make it seem like he was showing Kiron his strongest move out of respect.
The spectators stared at Rovo, “He… He’s using Thunder Strike in a spar against someone at the Profound Practitioner Realm? Does he not care about his honor!?” Everyone admired Kiron’s strength, but for him to match a Profound Skill… Impossible!
Thunder Strike was a Profound Skill that was available to anyone. The only problem with the skill is that mastering it takes way too long. Most people don’t want to spend years on learning one Profound Skill!
Spiritual Energy surrounded the Green Axe is Rovo’s hands. It was almost as if the axe had double in size! Taking that axe head on… Not a good idea!
“Then… I suppose it’s time for me to stop holding back.” Kiron mumbled to himself. He remembers the time he fought against Naro! He had the advantage until Naro started using Quickstep!
Kiron lowered the Crimson Devourer, he was going to slash upwards in response to Rovo’s Thunder Strike!
Both Rovo and Kiron started running towards each other, and in the blink of an eye, they met!
Rovo swung his Green Axe downwards using all his might! He really wanted to kill Kiron with this one blow! He was expecting Kiron to try and meet his attack head on yet again, so he spared no strength!
Kiron had already realized that he can’t take that attack head on, so he decided to fight with his brain instead! The Green Axe came crashing down towards Kiron, like a bolt of lightning! But Kiron… He sidestepped it! Instead of meeting the attack head on, he decided it would be much wiser to sidestep and attack from another position!
The enraged Rovo didn’t consider this a possibility, so he didn’t prepare for a situation like that.
*BANG*
The floor had already been completely destroyed by the Thunder Strike! The tiles were sent flying in all directions, and a huge crater had appeared. Almost everyone in the castle could feel the strike from Rovo, it was like an earthquake!
“Not good!” Rovo’s face went pale. He realized that Kiron was standing next to him, and he was completely open!
Kiron swung his Crimson Devourer upwards, towards Rovo’s arms!
*Slash*
No one dared make a single sound! The scene just now had shocked everyone! On the broken ground in front of them laid a Green Axe and 2 arms!

Memories of a Certain Spiritual Hourglass

And yet, both of them could not possibly imagine the consequences of their desires, the dangers inherent in a witch's promise, the unforgiving flow of time, and the foolishness of a lover's regret.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

My Haunted Academia(mha au) | DISCONTINUED
(I'm no longer updating this as I've lost all interest in it, but feel free to read the mess of what this was)Magic and monsters are indeed real. At least, that's what Deku thinks.He's heard many stories around his village about a safe haven for monsters deep in the forest. And it's safe to say that he's a big fan of these stories, along with his best friend; Bakugo. Since the death of his mother, and disappearance of his father, Deku sees no reason why they shouldn't go check it out. What will they find as the explore the haunted halls of UA? Monsters? Magic? A curse in which they can't escape? It's perfectly possible. At least, that's what they think. ......and they just might be right. (I've had this idea for a while now, and I think it's cool! FYI though, some chapters won't have a plot and will mainly be filler, but they're still good! Also none of the backgrounds are mine, and neither are the characters. This is a parody of the show My Hero Academia)
