《Doomsday 2020》38. The Duel
Advertisement
Alex gathers all of Aria's Deathsquad platoon, Lieutenant Russell’s platoon, and the Black Snake gang. There are now more than 400 people in the training ground. Alex can tell there is some barrier between the three of them. Between the Frog commandos and the Deathsquad, there was a long history of rivalry. As for the Black Snake gang, they are currently being ignored by both the army and navy.
"Let us have some friendly match." Alex show sthem 5 stacks of $100 bill. $50,000 will be given for the team that wins. Most soldiers never saw that kind of money before, so it piqued their interest. In actuality, Alex doesn't need to use the money as an incentive, their eyes clearly reflects 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 a young Deathsquad soldier against a Black Snake gang member. Milo moves in using his karate techniques, he easily defeats his opponent. But then he lost to one of the sergeants from the Navy. The navy sergeant then easily defeats another Blacksnake gang. He becomes arrogant and asks for 3 vs 1 fight. This action enraged the gang members. Bayu and two other walked up to fight him, but in the end, they were still defeated.
The Black Snake gang was ashamed, they placed their hopes in Jerry to retrieve back some face for them. 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 Deathsquad 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 were in awe, Aria and the Deathsquad soldiers didn't know that there was another monster like Alex. Cindy is really excited. She really enjoys watching a fight, Alex still wonders 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 fully loyal to Jerry. It also made the army and navy acknowledge the members in the gang.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!
Alex walks up to the winning team to give the prize money. After handing over the money, the gang members cheered. But Alex next words startled them. Alex asked Jerry for a duel.

"..."
Devita and Hendrik were shocked. They have never seen Alex fight before, as far as they know, he is just a businessman. But now he wants to challenge the leader of the thugs?
Fighting against a high stage Realm Spirit Enhancer. This could turn into a good warm-up practice for Alex before the Doomsday starts.
"One!"
"Two!" Devita is in despair...
"START!"
Jerry knows of Alex’s strength, he doesn't dare to play around. The last time they fought, he had not yet absorbed a spirit stone. But the situation is now different, he wants to find out if he can beat Alex this time.
SHHHH...
Jerry is way faster than the last time they fought. A straight punch is being delivered to Alex, a simple but effective move. The spectators gasped in seeing Jerry's speed. "Too bad," Alex thought. Jerry’s attack is too simple. No techniques were being used, it was very predictable. Because of Jerry's affinity with the wind element, Alex can see that Jerry moves faster than him, but with Alex’s experience, he is still able to dodge his moves.
Fist punch... Missed
Elbow strike... Dodged
High Kick... Blocked
After a few exchanges, Alex jumps back and tells Jerry to use his daggers. This way Jerry can utilize his dagger techniques.
"..."
Devita is speechless...
Jerry took out his daggers, the audience started to tense up. Jerry advances even faster this time. It seems that he has practiced a little bit on manipulating the air around him. In order to deal with Jerry’s speed, this time Alex uses his hexagram steps, a medium grade movement technique.
SLASSHH.
SWISSHH.
SLASSHH.
Alex and Jerry exchanges about 30 moves under one minute. The audience was stunned they have never seen this kind of spectacle before. They continued to exchange moves for 5 minutes when suddenly blood started dripping from Alex’s body. Jerry manages to give Alex some scratch, after all, Alex can't dodge all of his moves.
"Time to hit back."
BAAAMMM... BAAMMM...
Jerry got pushed back and drops to his knee. High stage Mortal Realm makes the body and bones stronger to resist impact. Alex’s punch doesn't really do fatal damage to him, but it still hurts Jerry.
Alex thought that if Jerry learned a medium level technique the result won't be the same. One thing for sure right now, 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 received a few more hits causing him to drop his daggers. When Alex thought that Jerry would give up, he instead screamed and blindly advanced forward. Something is strange with him. Alex saw pain in his eyes. Alex thought for a while and understood what was happening. He didn't stop the fight, he obliged Jerry and exchanged moves for a few more minutes... Alex kept on hitting Jerry until he finally stayed on the ground without the will to stand up again.
The spectators were all speechless watching this scene. The fight only stopped when Jerry was lying on the floor unconscious, Alex told one of the doctors to help him.
The fight left the spectators some questions. This is not a normal fight, where did Alex and Jerry's powers came from. This is exactly the result Alex was hoping for, other than getting the three groups know and respect each other, the main reason is to show them this.
Alex took out a tiny white crystal and presented it to everyone there.
"This is called a Spirit Stone, this is the reason how Jerry and I have such strength."
Alex called Hendrik and told him to eat it. Hendrik fully trusts and believes in his brother. Although it looked like a stone, he ate it anyway. It took 10-15 minutes for the stone to show its effect. All the spectators are waiting in silence.
Hendrik is an ordinary guy, he is actually a little bit overweight. Alex estimates his level to be around 10 or 12. With this one stone, he should be able to reach medium stage Mortal Realm. He would have the same physical strength as the best special forces soldier, probably even stronger.
"WAHAHHAHA... I feel so great..."
Hendrik can feel that his body is full of power.
Lieutenant Russel doesn't believe that it would be that easy. He sends in one of the Frog commandos for another match. Hendrik's a bit nervous, but he really feels the itch to try out his new found strength. Hendrik does not have any fighting experience, so currently, he becomes some sort of a punching bag. He tries to fight back but only embarrasses himself. He then starts running around, the commando finds it very hard to catch him. Lieutenant Russel then sends another man to tackle him, Hendrik gets cornered and becomes a punching bag again.
"..."
Alex felt ashamed... He was regretting that he gave his brother that one spirit stone. But the spectators were still in amazement, one direct hit from a special forces soldier normally could knock out a normal person. Instead, this guy had already taken more than 30 hits, but he still seemed fine.
Alex stopped the fight and told them more information about the spirit stone. In the future, if these soldiers are making enough contributions they can also receive some of the stones. The prospect of getting stronger is always a soldiers main goal, they are very excited about this. Alex then gives one spirit stone to Doctor Rachel. He wanted the doctor to start doing research and testing on this stone while they were setting up their lab.
After the match is over, Jerry has finally woken up. Alex talks to him in private. Apparently, when Jerry had reached Columbia, he only found bad news about his sister. It was a depressing story, his sister was suffering for a couple of months. She didn't tell him as she was worried for his safety. The match brought his mind back to reality. He thanked Alex for it.
It was already late in the evening when Alex planned to go back to the city with his wife. Tomorrow is the 20th and he has an important meeting to attend in Surabaya. Before he left, Cindy asked him about the place where he found the relics. Alex doesn't have the time to accompany her, so he asks Hendrik to do it. He agrees readily. Alex prepared a small map and a note and reminded them to be careful.
Finally at night, Alex got some quiet time with his wife. From the Doomsday, the army and the fight. Devita felt her husband had become a different person, a stranger. She asked to have some alone time to gather her thoughts. The next morning, Alex can't find his wife. After seeing his daughters, Alex said his goodbyes as he will be leaving again for a few days.

How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
