《Doomsday Pillars》38. The Duel
Advertisement
Alex gathers all Aria's black squad platoon, Lieutenant Russel platoon, and the Black snake gang. Totaled more than 400 people in the training grounds. Alex can tell there is some barrier between three of them. Between Frog commandos and the Deathsquad, there was a long history of rivalry. While the Blacksnake they are currently being discarded by both the army and navy.
"Let's see some friendly match" Alex show them 5 stacks of $100 bill. $50.000 for the team that won. Most soldier never saw that kind of money before, so its pique their interest. Actually, Alex doesn't need to use money as an incentive, it can be seen from their eyes that they want to compete themselves.
Some other people came to see as spectators; Devita, Cindy, Hendrik, Tony, Doctor Rachel and some of her associates.
The match starts with the young Death squad soldier. Milo moves in with his karate technique, he can defeat one of the gang. But then he lost to one of the sergeants from the Navy. The navy sergeant then easily defeat another Blacksnake gang. He becomes arrogant and asks for 3 vs 1 fight. This enrages the gang, Bayu and two other walks up to fight but they were still defeated.
The black snake gang was ashamed, they look up to Jerry. He's actually not in the mood, but for his crew he accepts. And the result is obvious, Jerry is a high stage human realm, none of the navy can defeat him. The death squad sends sergeant mayhem and a few others, but they also can't defeat him. Jerry then returns the mock by asking for 10 vs 1 fight. In the end, Jerry still won.
All the spectators' awe, Aria and the death squads didn't know there is still another monster like Alex. Cindy is really excited.. she really enjoys watching a fight, Alex still wonder if this is normal for an American girl. Devita doesn't really like violence so she has no comment. This fight makes the gang now totally loyal to Jerry, and also make the army and navy give faces to the gang.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!
Alex walks up closer to Jerry giving the prize money to Jerry and the gang. The gang cheered. But Alex next next word startled them... Alex asking Jerry for a duel.

"..."
Devita and Hendrik were shocked. They have never seen Alex fight before, he's just a businessman. But now he wants to challenge the thug's leader?
Fighting against high stage realm spirit enhancer. This could turn into a good warm-up practice for Alex, before the doomsday start.
"One"
"Two" Devita's is in despair...
"START"
Jerry know Alex strength, he doesn't play around, but the last time they fight he didn't take the spirit stone yet. He also interested to find out if he can beat Alex this time.
SHHHH...
Jerry's really fast.. it's a straight punch, a simple move but effective. The spectators gasp seeing Jerry's speed. "Too bad," Alex thought, its move is too simple. Almost no technique used, its very predictable. Because of Jerry's talent with wind element, Alex feels Jerry's move is faster than him, but Alex still able to dodge his move.
Fist punch... Missed
Elbow strike... Dodged
High Kick... Blocked
After a few moves, Alex jumps back and told Jerry to use his dagger.. this way jerry can utilize his dagger technique.
"..."
Devita is speechless...
Jerry took out his daggers, the audience started to tense up... Jerry advance even faster this time. it seems he has a bit more practice on manipulating the air around him, This time Alex used his hexagram steps a medium grade movement technique.
SLASSHH.
SWISSHH.
SLASSHH.
Alex and Jerry exchange about 30 moves under one minute. The audience was stunned they never seen this kind of fight before. They continue to exchange moves for 5 minutes. Blood started dripping from Alex body. Jerry's manage to give Alex some scratch, Alex cants dodge all of his moves.
"Time to hit back"
BAAAMMM... BAAMMM...
Jerry's pushes back and drop to his knee. High stage mortal realm gives the bodies and bones stronger to resist impact. Alex punch doesn't really do fatal damage to him. but it still hurt Jerry.
Alex though if Jerry learns a medium level technique the result won't be the same... at least Jerry needs to learn a proper martial art skill, this will improve his combat strength. Alex plans to ask captain Donnie to teach him a few martial art moves.

BAAMMM... BAAMMM Jerry'got a few more hit, his daggers drop. When Alex thought Jerry would give up, he actually Screamed and still advancing forward... something is strange with him. Alex can see he's in pain... Alex thought for a while and understood. He didn't stop the fight, he exchanges move for a few more minutes... Alex keeps hitting Jerry until he' down.. and have no power to stand up again.
the spectators are gasp watching this scene. The fight stops with Jerry laying on the floor unconscious, Alex told one of the doctors to help him.
The fight leaves the spectators some questions. These are not a normal fight, where did Alex and Jerry's power came from. This is exactly the result Alex hoping for, other than to get the three group to know and respect each other, the second reason is to show them this.
Alex took out a tiny white crystal and show it to everyone there. "This is called the spirit stones, this is the reason Jerry and I get our strength". Alex called Hendrik and told him to eat it. Hendrik believes 100% in his brother, although it looks like a stone he ate it. It took 10-15 minutes for the stone to work. All the spectators waiting in silence.
Hendrik is an ordinary guy, he actually a little bit overweight. Alex thought his level should be around 10 or 12. With this 1 stone, he could reach medium-stage of mortal realms. He would have the same physical strength as the best special force soldier, probably even stronger.
"WAHAHHAHA.. I feel so GREAT".. Hendrik feel his body is full of power.
Lieutenant Russel doesn't believe it would be that easy, he sends one of the Frog commandos for another match. Hendrik's a bit nervous, but he really feels the itch to try his new strength. Hendrik has no fighting experience, so currently, he becomes some sort of punching bag. He tries to fight back but only embarrassed himself. He then starts running around, the commandos find it very hard to catch him. Lieutenant Russel sends another man to tackle him, Hendrik got cornered and become a punching bag again.
"..."
Alex feels ashamed... he already regretted giving his brother that one spirit stone. But the spectators were still in amazement, one direct hit from a special forces soldier normally can knock out a normal person, This guy already took more than 30 hit, but he still seems fine.
Alex stop the fight and told them about the spirit stone, in the future, if these soldiers are strong enough they also can receive some of the stones. The prospect of getting stronger always a soldier main goal, they are very excited about this. Alex then gives one spirit stone to Doctor Rachel, He wanted the doctor to start research and testing on this stone while setting up their lab.
After the match is over, Jerry's woke up. Alex talks to him in private. Apparently, when Jerry reach Columbia, he only found bad news about his sister. It was a depressing story, his sister was in suffer for a couple of months. She didnt tell him as she was worried for his safety. The match get his mind back to reality. He thanks Alex for it.
It's already late in the evening, Alex plans to go back to the city with his wife, tomorrow is the 20th he had an important meeting for in Surabaya. Before he goes, Cindy asking him about the place he found the relics. Alex doesn't have the time to company her there, so he asks Hendrik to do it. He surely agrees. Alex prepares a small map and a note and told her to be careful.
Finally at night, Alex got some quiet time with his wife. From the doomsday, the army, the fight... Devita felt his husband is a stranger to her, she wishes to have alone time to gather her thought. The next morning Alex can't find his wife. After seeing his daughters, Alex said his goodbye as he plans to leave again for a few days.

So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
