Elementalists
Chapter 47 - New Star

After what happened in the first Duo Battle Festival match, Axel and Ayra's names skyrocketed throughout Underground Paradise. They are touted as geniuses who only appear once every 100 years.

Many popping fans impromptu who give great support to them, most of these fans consist of girls who hear rumors that behind the mask Axel. There was a handsome face that was never imagined.

People are starting to figure out what the real face of these two new stars is. Their victory over the Elf duo Rodria is also an inspiration for many beginners to participate in the Duo Battle Festival, so this event has become the Duo Battle Festival with the most participants in history.

Arya and Lexa continued to win their matches spectacularly, no opponent could last more than 1 minute when faced with both in the Arena. This is deliberately Arya do so that the strength of both is not too exposed by people.

But what Arya regrets is, it turns out that it is also what makes the attention of people more and more focused on them. After learning of Arya and Lexa's participation in the Duo Battle Festival, more and more people crowded their inn.

"I'm sorry Mr. Axel, Mrs Ayra. But...the next time can you enter the room by just sneaking in?" pinta Kyra who is overwhelmed faces visitors.

-----------------------------<<>>-----------------------------

Finally Duo Battle Festival got to the Semi-Final round, remaining four most dominant teams that will fight each other for two tickets to the final round. The first final place match will bring together Team Arya and Lexa against the previous Duo Battle Festival runners-up.

Dwarf brothers Lam and Lim. These two Dwarves were known as high-skilled Dwarves. Their company, L&L. Being one of the companies that become the largest provider and producer of magic tools in Underground Paradise.

Support to them can be overwhelming. As almost all of the Dwarves in Underground Paradise expected the two to become champions, Arya and Lexa entered the Arena casually.

The welcome given to them has been better than the previous one, especially as fans from Gill and Rose are now turning to their supporters. Arya briefly sees Kyra along with some people from the inn also providing support from one of the podiums.

On the other hand Arena, Lam and Lim were already waiting with fixtures Arya had never seen before. It looks like they made a new tool specifically for the match this time, both of them look quite confident.

But unfortunately, the expectations of the audience to see the exciting Semi-Final match must be lost just like that. Just now that the match had started, Arya had very quickly stood between the Dwarf brothers.

He made one hand gesture that made the two dwarfs entangled in an invisible thread, something that has always been a scourge for any opponent facing Arya and Lexa in the Arena.

And without waiting any longer, Lexa immediately struck the two Dwarves until they bounced out of the Arena match. With the result, Arya and Lexa managed to maintain their fantastic winning record. They managed to defeat their enemy in less than a minute.

Seeing that result the audience immediately went crazy, the names Axel and Ayra resonated filled the Arena. Having still plenty of time, Arya and Lexa decide to see the second match.

The match that would be the decider of their opponents in the final, both managed to break through the crowd and arrive at the viewing podium where Kyra and the others were.

The fight for one place the next Final did not lose to steal the attention, this is because the second match also became a meeting between the newcomer team with the defending champion.

Arya actually does not have enough information about these two teams, because he also does not try to find out. All he knew was that the previous Duo Battle Festival defending champion team was famous for being violent and unforgiving to its opponent.

While the team of newcomers is even more mysterious, they call themselves Pierrot. The team is predicted to be the strongest rival for Axel and Ayra at the Duo Battle Festival this time, the more interesting thing is that they also use masks.

Two clown masks that look terrible, both lunge are actually quite awesome. But all of that is covered by the incredible performances of Axel and Ayra.

As Arya was engrossed in thought, suddenly the entire place shook. How shocked Arya was when she saw two 5 meter tall creatures emerge from one corner of the Arena.

"A.ap..what is it?!" exclaimed Lexa did not believe.

"Titan...?" whispered Arya astonished.

"Huh?! There's a giant in this place?!" Lexa looked at Kyra demanding an answer.

"Sure, is that weird?" reply Kyra with a confused face.

"Any isn't the right word anyway, but why don't we ever see them hanging around?" added Arya.

"Ahh...that's because the Titans have the ability to enlarge and shrink their bodies, don't you know?"

True also thought Arya, if they move with such body size. Underground Paradise can be ravaged in one night. The two giants smiled bitterly at all the spectators.

Honestly, by looking at the two giants, Arya herself felt pessimistic to beat them. From the other side of the Arena walking with light steps two small black-robed figures, Pierrot looked undisturbed in the slightest by the size of their opponents.

After Arya noticed, she could tell that one of Pierrot was a woman. This is due to his slimmer body shape and the way he walks. The excitement began to occur among the audience, it was immediately anticipated by the host.

"Well the next game to determine the opponents of Axel and Ayra in the final round will begin soon.

In the East, Duo Titan Brutal. Karam and Zakam....!!!"

The two giants let out ear-splitting screams while stomping their feet. The entire Arena shook.

"While it's in the West corner, the Duo of the Comforter team. Pierrot....!!!"

The two robed men only bowed their bodies for a moment, the fight began. Just by looking at their appearance alone, everyone had already guessed who would win.

But all of that conjecture was broken moments later, Karam. The bald-headed Titan hurled a loud punch towards the Pierrot team, a loud bang filling the air. Dust covered the Arena.

As Arena's condition began to show again, how shocked everyone was as the men from Pierrot's team held Karam's punch with just one hand. Slowly the man began to twist his hand until Karam bent his knee.

On the other hand, the female figure of Pierrot suddenly disappeared. Due to her extremely fast movements, almost no one could see the movements of the woman. But Arya managed to catch a glimpse of it.

The woman stood on the empty air like jumping on the ground, she kept darting higher and finally stopped behind Zakam's neck. With a swing of his right leg, he unleashed a precise hard kick against the giant's neck.

Zakam's body hit the Arena floor hard, the entire place shook violently. Cracks began to appear on the Arena due to the collision of the giant, while Karam who was getting bent on the knee due to the grip of the Pierrot man could not do anything.

He only growled in annoyance while trying to pull his hand away, when Karam's head was close enough. The Pierrot man jumped up and grabbed one of the ears of the bald giant, and mercilessly slammed the giant's head into the Arena floor.

The Arena Duo Battle Festival was destroyed instantly, all the spectators were speechless seeing the results. Even Arya and Lexa were just silently watching with their eyes widening, the woman from Pierrot was casually stretching her muscles over Zakam's body.

He threw a quick glance at the Arena podium, moments later he finally found what he was looking for. The woman cuefully pointed her hand that had formed a gun at Arya and Lexa.

He made a gesture like shooting a bullet at them, as if to say "You're next"

-----------------------------<<>>-----------------------------

Final Duo Battle Festival this time witnessed by almost all residents of Underground Paradise, Arena and Podium audience immediately increased capacity related to the incident that occurred in the Semi-Final.

"Lexa you better be careful, they are much different from our previous opponents" Arya recalled as the two were walking towards the Arena.

"Huum, I know. You also don't let your guard down, Aru"

The rumbling sound instantly filled the air as the two finalist teams entered the Arena, so Arya and Lexa could feel the high pressure exerted by the Final round. Especially since the King of Vermaand and his nine wives were also watching live on the special podium.

A neatly dressed man with a foreign face immediately floated into the middle of the Arena, he had a small black horn on his forehead.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE...., WELCOME TO THE FINAL ROUND OF DUO BATTLE FESTIVAL....!!!"

The audience grew increasingly boisterous hearing the opening of the new host.

"THE GAME THIS TIME WILL BE BROUGHT BY ME, TONGGO OZ. I'M HERE TO REPLACE MY BROTHER. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO LET'S WITNESS THE FIGHT BETWEEN AXEL & AYRA VS PIERROT!!!"

Not yet Arya and Lexa put up the horses, suddenly the woman from Pierrot was standing right between them and threw a hard kick towards Arya. He bounced to the end of the Arena.

Lexa also suffered the same after receiving a blow from the male Pierrot, the entire audience gasped. It was the first time Axel and Ayra had received an attack and were at the end of the Arena match.

"You're okay Le—"

"You should be more worried about yourself" whispered the woman in Arya's ear.

Meanwhile Lexa is getting depressed by the man. He could only continue to endure and receive all the relentless attacks directed at him.

"Little girl, is this all you're capable of?"

"Ugh....!?"

Seeing that, Arya wanted to help immediately. But his own condition was also not good, the female Pierrot and Arya exchanged kicks continuously. And whose position is much more advantageous here is the female Pierrot.

"This guy....?! I just felt that powerful kick for the first time. Not even much different from Master Lee's inner kick" Arya.

The two then did a round kick together, their two right legs hooked each other in the air. Arya and the woman lock each other up.

"I thought, behind all your fighting tricks. It turns out that your abilities aren't too bad" said the woman softly.

"Ugh..thank you, but I don't need any compliments from you" Arya replied with a bully tooth.

"Your mouth is quite sharp as well, whereas you are one of the people I consider to be able to use your feet"

"You two....Demi-human?"

"Pffts?! Phuahaha....The demi-human? I don't know where you're from, but our race hasn't borne that name in a long time" the woman said.

"meaning?" ask Arya wonder.

"That's because we don't want to bear the Human name on our race, weak cowardly creatures like them are only worthy of being slaves. Today our race is better known by the name Werebeast"

Then he quickly threw a hard kick towards Arya's stomach, Arya's body flying. He followed Arya by jumping on empty air and then directing the next kick.

Arya resisted the attack with both hands, but still bounced and hit the Arena floor hard. Without being given a chance to breathe, the woman immediately darted from above towards Arya. His feet stepped right where Arya's head was just a moment ago.

"Hey quickly fell down, I also want to have fun with the boy who was there" Pierrot's man chirped to Lexa after seeing his partner's attack on Arya.

"Whisper!" reply Lexa weak.

"Well, you should know when to stop" the man said with a sigh.

Just finished saying so, a crushing blow landed on his face. Lexa continues what she's doing, the guy seems to know the direction Lexa's attack is heading. But constantly exposed without being able to avoid.

"Apaa—"

"You think I've just been silently accepting your attack from earlier? This little girl knows the tempo of your movements, prepare for a counterattack" said Lexa.

"Little girl you—"

-----------------------------<<>>-----------------------------

"You said...The man is a weak and cowardly creature, right?" ask Arya slowly.

"That's how, am I wrong?" the woman relaxed.

"No, you're not at all wrong" Arya said with a smile on her lips.

"justified? They are sam—"

Not finished he spoke, Arya's right leg knee hit his mask. The woman slightly gasped at Arya's sudden change in movement, she tried to retaliate. But vain.

All of his attacks were avoided and Arya replied, the peak of which was when he took a sharp kick towards the stomach. Arya ducked and then snared the woman's right leg with her threads.

"His words have made me realize, all I have to do is. Fighting as a Human" Arya's inner self then floated a proper top kick on the woman's face.

The woman staggered away while covering her face, her mask breaking and revealing purple-colored eyes that looked back at Arya with interest.

That's when Arya got an idea, she realized the four of them were in a straight line position. Arya and Lexa were at the end while the two members of Pierrot turned their backs on each other in the middle of the Arena.

"Yura!!!" arya shouted while lunging towards the front.

Lexa sees Arya and does the same, both of them crashing towards their enemies. As the two members of Pierrot attempted to attack, Arya and Lexa dodged and continued their march towards the center of the Arena.

"You think you can run?!"

With incredible reflexes, the two members of Pierrot immediately chased after them. Just as she arrived at the center of the Arena, Arya immediately grabbed Lexa's waist and grabbed the handle of Mandalika.

"Watch up, Mandalika!!!"

A blue black aura enveloped the Mandalika sword blade, with a single swing. That aura swept across the entire Arena of the match. Everyone was stunned to see the attack, as the entire audience thought it was all over.

With great surprise at the end of the Arena, the two members of Pierrot were still able to survive. They clung to a golden-colored toya that was plugged in by the man on the Arena floor.

But the match was finally over, as both legs of the Pierrot members were already outside the Arena's bounds. Arya and Lexa managed to win the match so dramatically, when people started celebrating it all of a sudden the air pressure was heavy.

Gravity in that place seemed to increase several times, making the audience frightened. The agnet all over the place trembled violently, the woman Pierrot with purple eyes looked at Arya deeply.

"You really should—"

"Hey come" said the man, patting him on the shoulder.

Like its appearance, the pressure also disappeared suddenly. The woman then scratched her head in embarrassment, the two teams immediately approached and shook hands in the middle of the Arena.

How surprised Arya and everyone who was there when the woman from Pierrot casually dyed Arya's mask before leaving the place.

Not forgetting that he floated a long-distance kiss before disappearing from view, the female audience was crazy about it. There was almost a big riot due to the incident.

"It seems.Inadvertently I just dealt with a troublesome woman" Arya was tired.

-----------------------------<<>>-----------------------------

In one of the small alleys of Underground Paradise, two figures appeared wearing black robes and clown masks. They were none other than the runner up of the Duo Battle Festival this time, Pierrot.

"I really wanted to recruit the boy" said the woman, taking off her mask and robe.

She was a pink-haired woman with long hairy ears adorning her head.

"But you shouldn't be putting on that kind of pressure" the man said.

The man also opened his mask, his face almost covered in brown hair. On the back of the body is a long tail of the same color.

"Whispering Ass! How else would you like? I got a little carried away, did you see the weapon he used? Isn't that amazing?"

"I don't really care about your weird taste, Bunny, the important thing is that nobody recognizes us. Because if the news spread that two Werebeast Elite Troops who were members of the Twelve Shio were defeated by two widespread unknown boys, wouldn't that be a little laughable?"
