Mystical Mutant {Editing}

Chapter 75

ON ONE POV 
The announcer read the fourth contestant, Raven versus a Glorindian guy. The field ripped as they dashed into hand-to-hand combat.

Raven moved in a flash, countering his punches, she staggered backward as the opponent threw a roundhouse kick. 

Raven tumbled, she thrust three flying kicks into his chest ending with an uppercut. The man let out a sharp gasp then slumped on his face.

The crowd whistled for the fourth winner. Raven went backstage and was congratulated with fist pumps. 

"We made it to the top five!" Iceberg turned to Fiona, "no doubt, you're the winner already" he said. 

The master of ceremonies announced Fiona's opponent forfeited. The crowd booed in disappointment, "let's calm down," he said, but their voices overpowered. 

They stopped with confused faces as Zane walked to the microphone with his gloomy aura, the Master of ceremony backed away in fear.

Zane leaned closer "I challenge the top five to a battle." The mumbling voices filled the air, the master of ceremony grabbed the microphone. 

"You hear that? A mysterious weird-looking man challenged our elite warriors to a battle!" The crowd screamed and clapped at the turn of events. 

They stared at themselves in disbelief.

"Wait what?" Raven arced a brow.

"Zane fights?" Ash said.

"I don't know what he's doing," Fiona shook her head.

"Me neither," Iceberg said. 

Cyan tapped his feet on the ground with a frown "I'm gonna make things short and quick" he winked then stepped into the battlefield.

 Before Cyan could move a muscle, a giant snow sledgehammer appeared and pounded him into a pulp. "Been holding a grudge since the first day, it's nice to let it all out," he said internally. 

The audience inhaled, staring at Zane wide-eyed. "I guess it's over?" the Master of ceremonies said. The people gazed at themselves as they slow-clapped. 

"What? Zane didn't move an inch!" Ash pulled her hair.

"Is he that strong?" Raven's eyebrows creased.

"Maybe Cyan underestimated him?" Fiona bit her nails, she wondered if she'd be able to beat him.

Iceberg didn't say a word, he feared he was going to melt in front of everyone. 

Ash's claws screeched as she took a stance, Zane's eyes glowed as she vaulted, a pyramid of ice sprang up, they multiplied as Ash sliced her way through.

The pyramid encircled her until the tip was blocked. Ash tried screeching but it only left scratches. "Number two is defeated!" The man yelled in shock. 

Two ambassadors have been defeated without Zane lifting a limb. Fiona trembled within, "How can he wield such power?" she was lost in her thoughts. 

Raven stepped in, going for combat will give him an upper hand, Raven raised the gun draped on her shoulder, her gun clicked then fired continuously. 

A thick ice wall shielded him, "oh shit! This is bad," Raven loaded the gun and fired again. She jumped as she sensed danger underground, icicle sprang up vigorously, 

Raven grunted as her foot landed on one of them, it began to freeze from the sole of her shoe until it covered her leg. She slammed the ice but it didn't crack. The third was down.

Fiona's heart raced faster, she has never been this nervous about a fight. The last ambassador walked to the stage. 

Zane's eyes widened as if he was not expecting him to step in, "I don't wanna hurt you" he said inwardly. A huge wave burst from the ground and flushed in Zane's direction, his ice slashed the waters then he darted to Iceberg.  

Zane noticed the creeping sound of underground plants but he didn't take a step. The plants surrounded him, his eyes glowed, ice sprang and choked them.

"I should end this," Zane dashed like the wind, stopping an inch away. His eyes pierced through like a blizzard storm. Iceberg was paralyzed, the only thing moving was his thumping heart. 

Zane glimpsed at his lips then at his eyes, he mouthed a 'shh' and struck his neck. Iceberg dropped unconscious.  

"That's a new level of hypnosis! It's like a siren's voice" The crowd clapped at his comment. 

The moment everyone has all been waiting for, the battle of our Salvin queen and the stranger with unmatched powers, similar to both races.  "Let the final battle begin!" the man said.

Fiona was eager to know his capabilities, she pondered if Zane was as strong as Griffin, the most fierce fighter she knew.

Zane raised numerous giant icicles, Fiona broke through six then side stepped, breathing slowly. She was halfway to Zane. 

"What are these ice made of? My hands can't handle the seventh," Fiona said internally.

She exploded in a rage of fire and punched Zane's face. The crowd gasped as he crashed to the ground, Zane moaned, nursing his face as he got up.

"I've come so far, I can't lose to her, I need to impress him" Zane tossed his robe then drew his sword. 

The second he jumped, he was restricted by vines. Fiona shoved him with a flying kick, Zane landed on his hands, he held his sword for stamina "Why now? I need to think of something quickly" he said inwardly.

 "Snow storm!" he yelled and jammed his hands, the field quaked at the collision. Fiona's eyes opened to an activated spell beneath.

A fierce snow whirlwind surrounded her, she tried to control the air but it was poisoned by snow "W-what's this?" she muttered. 

Only Salvins have the ability to cast spells. It's possible this was caused by the mutation in his body. Fiona's head was spinning when it stopped, she slumped on pure ice.
