Amon, The Legendary Overlord Chapter 14.2: Amon vs. Elijah

"Is this serious? Am I not hallucinating?"

"My God, this Amon is crazy!"

"But he did it, doesn't that make him a genius?"

"...Yes, he's a crazy genius!"

The day before Amon left and was away for a day, Sonia remembered the blackout that had happened. She vaguely remembers seeing a burn in Amon's room, the main one, she thought was from a lighter or something like that, but now...

"My son, did he manage to fill his genes with lightning?!" Sonia covers her mouth in disbelief.

Julius was simpler, he began to shout proudly as if Amon were his own son.

Maisa was in a trance, after all, what he achieved is one of the most dangerous and impossible elements to have.

Even ice, which is an element that only geniuses can manage, is not as surprising as lightning. Hence the reason everyone is in shock.

Even in his belligerent state, Elijah stopped laughing and developed an even uglier expression. Envy, anger, hate all at the same time. 'Why? Why does he always, always, always, get to have what's best!? Because he has to always be number one!? Why!?'

'I will kill him! Yes, if he is dead, it won't matter that he managed to fill his genes with lightning, after all, the dead don't matter. He doesn't deserve that power; that power should be mine! Mine!' Crazed, the flames began to flare up in Elijah's arms like wildfire, his legs were nearly leaving him naked in the arena as his entire body was practically on fire.

He ran bizarrely towards Amon, looking like a man on fire.

'Kill, kill, kill, kill…' It kept resonating in Elijah's head as he ran, completely out of his mind.

"Idiot." It was just a word, but it was so cold it made him shiver.

Amon saw something strange; as he was closer, maybe he was the only one to notice. Elijah's appearance changed, and I'm not talking about the change in his distorted expression and his eyes turning mercury red, but rather, he was wasting the potential of his genetics, causing them to overwhelm him.

"You are the idiot!" Elijah yelled.

Afterward, he picks up momentum with fire and goes towards Amon; he was not afraid, he had the forbidden spell. For Elijah, he already imagined that he had beaten Amon and mangled his face, just like he did with that asshole Nick.

His mind was already in his own world so he didn't notice the arrival of a fist in his face surrounded by lightning. He acted fast and made his genetics go toward his face to protect it, the genetic veins appeared in the face like circuits, and his face was on fire. However, his flames lost to the lightning and his face was left with a burn mark.

Clearly, Amon's lightning was even hotter and more powerful than Elijah's flames, which infuriated him.

But even in pain, he still took it; he didn't want to lose and, as ugly and distorted as his face was, Elijah hated the feeling of losing to Amon.

As long as he remembers, he never beat Amon at all. It always infuriated him, even when he was five years old. He remembers it perfectly, especially the fact that he was saved by Amon, which makes him the most furious. He doesn't need anyone saving him!

Elijah ran towards Amon again and this time he was more cautious, he didn't want to lose.

The audience had their mouths wide open, they didn't believe their eyes and rubbed them to see if they weren't dreaming.

After all, they were fighting at such a fast speed, they could barely see what movement they had made.

While Elijah was desperate to defeat Amon, on the other hand, Amon was testing Elijah's limit and trying not to use too much force and end up killing his own brother. He knew he was pretty strong these days, and he'd been using lightning lately, if he does it wrong it can be deadly.

Of course, if Elijah knew Amon's thoughts, that he was holding back in the fight for fear of killing him by accident... The hatred he feels for Amon who is always indifferent, always looking like he's the boss, would only grow.

It was laughable that at school he tried to imitate a 5-year-old Amon. He tried to be indifferent, and cool, it even worked a little. But, with the arrival of Amon, everything went downhill.

The character he created for himself broke down, after all, they began to compare him to Amon. What annoys him the most is that the initial plan he had didn't work out, if they believed it and got Amon thrown out, he would have everyone's attention again.

"Amon!" Elijah screamed as if it would give him more strength. His fire genetics went up his arm and into his palm creating a gigantic fireball the size of a basketball. This was beyond even collegiate level!

People got scared and screamed, some closed their eyes thinking that Amon was going to die.

Even the School Director was scared and was about to interfere. After all, death was not acceptable.

"Tedious." Amon finally got used to his power after a series of exchanges with Elijah. Seeing him attack with the intent to kill, Amon raged a little, but his face remained neutral and an orb made of lightning the size of a baseball appeared in his hand.

"Hahaha! Is that all you can do? You think you're not fucked because you have the power of lightning, you think you're special because you have it? Hahaha, you'll lose to me and understand that I'm better than you and not the other way around!" Elijah laughed out loud and attacked, "Giant Fireball!"

"My grandfather once said: It doesn't matter how big the genetic attack is if it's not solid…" He trailed off because, in the next moment, his actions said it all.

*Bang!*

Elijah's Giant Fireball was destroyed, and Amon's attack didn't lose much force. Amon avoided the face and aimed for the belly, avoiding the vitals.

*Bang!*

With two series of loud sounds, Elijah who felt a lot of pain in his stomach, held Amon's shoulders and, with desperate eyes, he mutters: "Why can I never beat you? why?"

Elijah lost strength in his hands and let go of Amon's shoulders, fell slowly to the ground, and passed out.

The audience was slow to react, but after a few seconds, a wave of sighs echoed, along with many "Wow!"

Some shouted Amon's name and even Elijah, after all, he was amazing in this fight, even with losing.

"Amon Tang of Class 303 is the tournament champion!" The referee announced after they saw that Elijah had just passed out. They carried him out of the arena to receive medical treatment.

"Amon! Amon! Amon! Amon!"

Many shouted his name very loudly since the fight was so shocking that, no lie, people were crying with emotion. It was as if they had seen something so epic that it would be etched in their memory.

Some girls were even more interested in Amon, mainly because he has an air of mystery, and they wanted to be the woman he would stop being indifferent to.

Some girls even argued, saying they could do it, but the other couldn't; that she could make Amon stop being indifferent to just her...

This went on for a few minutes until the audience calmed down.

"Can I go out?" Amon asked.

"Yes, of course, just wait until the rest of the matches are finished to receive the trophy and prize for winning the tournament." The referee said with a friendly smile.

"Okay." With a neutral expression, Amon left and walked toward the bleachers.

A one-hour break was also requested to restart the matches and decide the top 10.

- School canteen -

"Amon, thanks again, I learned a lot from you. If it's not a problem, can we train together more often?"

After the break began, Amon went to the canteen with the Queiroz family. Sonia, his mother, was happy for him, but at the same time sad about what happened to Elijah and went to see how he was doing.

Across from Julia, Amon sat indifferently as he bit into a sandwich, hearing her question, he stopped and looked at her. Her eyes sparkled in a way that reminded him of the past, he was also like that when he asked his grandfather and grandmother to train him.

Amon nodded in agreement: "Every morning I'm going out to train, if you want, try to keep up with me."

Julia was happy and worried, but she was motivated to keep up with him and become more powerful: "Yes, I will do my best!"
