Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I know have a bad feeling about this, I am going to get my ass handed to me for sure, but I am not going to lose," Alix grumbled with a smile as the bell rang and they left staring at each waiting for one to make a move.

"I need to avoid getting hit by him, I am already hurt as it is," Alix thought as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The guy rushed toward Alix, but he avoided his attack, and Soren grinned as he listened to Alix's footstep and anticipated each of his movements.

As Soren kicked him in the stomach, he coughed and panted, and Soren grinned, Alix thought, "H- he can keep up."

"You are done for," Soren yelled and Sarah's eyes widened as she gazed at the screen. He then struck Alix with the hand that was cloaked in darkness, sending the boy flying into the air. Soren jumped up to Alix as a dark whip materialized in his arm, and he struck Alix with it, causing the whip to wrap around the boy's body and glow while squeezing him.

The pain and lack of energy Alix were experiencing, along with the darkness in his heart, were all preventing him from moving forward.

"You are not that great, I should have known that, you are not but a weakling," Soren yelled at Alix as he slammed him into the ring, breaking half of it in the process. Everyone gasped in sympathy for Alix, and Sarah lowered her head.

"He is going to get himself killed, he's already hurt," Sarah said as Eliza frowned and Kyris smiled as he stood back up, despite the fact that a few of his bones were broken and he was bleeding.

"I don't think he plans on giving up anything soon, Alix is something else, he wants to prove a point and just like you guys he will not give in, not even to Soren, I am pretty sure with his current determination, he can overpower or even beat Soren," Kyris said, and everyone looked at him before returning their attention to Alix, who was struggling.

"Hold on, Alix," Eliza said, and Alix smiled.

"I am not going to give up," Alix said as Soren glared angrily at him.

"You are making me want to kill you, I'm stronger than you, give up," Soren exclaimed before punching Alix down and stomping him with his feet. Alix coughed up blood, and Soren moved away from him as Alix started to struggle for breath.

"Say you give up and I will stop attacking you, stay down," Soren said but Alix got back up.

"You should have stayed down," Soreen said as Alix rushed to him. Soren was about to attack Alix when he jumped up in the air and struck Soren with his feet by his side and his arm and started kicking him with speed, injuring Sore but also infuriating him.

"I will crush you," Soren said, grabbing Alix by the feet and slamming him into the ring's side, aiming to hit the boy again, but Alix flicked over Soren and struck him by the side with his sword, immediately backing away from him.

"This match should have ended by now," Yola said as he approached the others, who looked at him with worried expressions and he smiled.

"He sure is fighting, as if his life depends on it," Liza said, and Eliza smiled at her.

"I am not sure that's it, he doesn't care about himself that much," Eliza replied, and Yola smiled.

"Of course not, he's got spirit, the spirit of not giving up that would be put to good use as long as he has a purpose," Yola replied, and Kyris clenched his fists in frustration because he was worried about Alix.

"You, why don't you give up?" Soren asked Alix as he turned to face him with beady monstrous eyes that intimidated the crowd.

"How does that concern you?" Alix questioned, and the guy smirked as red lightning flashed across his body.

"Just so you know, if you die today, it won't be my fault," Soren said as he was about to punch Alix, but Alix blocked his attack with his arm and Kyris smiled.

"I am not that easy," Alix smirked as they ended up in a hand-to-hand combat; clearly, Soren was more experienced, but this was Alix's first match with him, and he managed to hurt him more than anyone else, which infuriated Soren.

Alix pushed Soren away from him, but the guy continued to attack him. Alix punched Soren in the stomach, but with one shot of Soren's palm to his chest, the burst of energy that Soren released slashed Alix across his hands that tried to block Soren's attack, and Alix sighed while staring at the guy knowing that he needed to bring the fight to an end.

"He has lost a lot of energy and blood," Yola said as he sat with the others, and Sarah sighed.

"Come at me," Alix said with a smile that irritated Soren, and as he rushed to Alix, the boy moved so quickly that Soren didn't notice him.

"He's fast again," Soren said as Alix spun around, his feet gripped him under the chin, and slammed Soren into the ground, but he got back up as strong as before.

"That's not going to work on me," Soren said, kicking Alix in the face, and the darkness that surrounded Soren slashed Alix across the back, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"I'm not done yet," Alix said quietly as he forced himself to stand, and Soren sighed.

'You still have strength, don't you?"Not for much longer," Soren said, charging at Alix and was about to kick him, but Alix kept dodging him, then released a sharp wave of energy from his hand that slashed Soren across his stomach, and Yola gasped as Soren stared at Alix in surprise, and Alix kicked him into the side of the ring while everyone stared, wondering how he managed to hurt Soren, and Alix looked at his hand as his body started glowing red.

"What exactly was it?" Sarah questioned, as someone lurking in the shadows smiled while looking at Alix.
