THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 71. Hawk vs Sam

Sam went on stage and said to Hawk. " Eventually. I thought no one would challenge me anymore."

Hawk just smiled and said nothing.

"start." Elder announced. But neither Sam nor Hawk moved. They simply looked at each other and tried to see what the other party meant. The downward gaze lasted for a few seconds, they did not move nor did they look in a different direction. They just stared at each other and the tension increased.

Finally, Hawk spoke. "You're more patient than the rumors say." As soon as he said that, he started making hand seals. Sam just stood there and did nothing, he just stood there and looked at Hawk as if he were watching a show.

And immediately, Sam was surrounded by blades of wind from all sides, he observed the blades of wind coming towards him, he could feel the sharpness of the blades and the threat it could pose.

When they were two feet away, Sam moved at his superior speed, the wind blades did not pose much of a threat to him. He moved smoothly without making contact with the wind blades, but before he could relax, another wave of wind blades came towards him, but this time the density of attacks increased.

The number of blades was doubled from the previous time. This time Sam not only avoided them, but he started moving forward. The spectators watched the fight in amazement. They know about Hawk's wind blade attack. He was extremely adept at controlling it and if his opponent was hit by an attack in the first wave, he was almost done with it.

Even when the opponent was able to pass the first wave, he might not be able to reach the second wave, if he managed to pass the second wave, the third wave might knock him down.

And each time the density of the attacks increased so dodging was no longer an option. But Sam dodged and he walked forward.

Just when Sam was three feet away from the Hawk, the latter floated with the wind blade cover and went to the opposite side.

"Element fusion." Sam muttered as he looked at Hawk, who stopped attacking. When Hawk heard Sam's words, he was shocked.

"Not bad, you can recognize Elemental Fusion" Hawk said. Sam did not answer. Of course, he could recognize her. He can do it himself anyway. But Sam was quite impressed with Hawk. The latter used Elemental fusion on his legs and floated up. Although he was unable to use it directly to fly, but hovering a little was no problem.

"Why don't you use your Elemental power?" ask Hawk.

"Well, no one bothers to challenge me. We better use most of our battles and see what I can do?" Sam said but he still did not attack. He's waiting for Hawk to attack and he's going to test himself. After all, it was not every day that he fought a level 1 novice fighter with this much control over his elements.

Hawks formed hand seals and this time they were much faster. This time the air on the stage all started circling around Sam. The image resembled a small tornado swirling around it. As he examined her, he found it a bit difficult to breathe. Tornadoes try to create a vacuum.

Just when he thought that this was the only effect of a tornado, he felt his legs drift and then suddenly a blade of wind formed inside the tornado and attacked him from behind.

Although the fur coat stopped the attack, he did not feel happy at all. He felt that he was too passive. Sam then stretched his hand towards the wind current and his hand began to conjure fire.

He controlled the golden flames with tremendous heat and made it circle the tornado in the opposite direction, but when he tried it at the beginning, the flame was affected by the speed of the wind, which was the same, when the audience began to feel that Sam's efforts were in vain, he increased it. They started to circulate at a very high speed and intensity was also high and before he knew what was happening, Hawk felt something was wrong, his control over the tornado winds becomes difficult and unstable and when he tries to control it, Sam is already out of the tornado.

Sam and Hawk looked at each other as Sam said. "Maybe you want to use the slash of your wings."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, you can use it. Let's see if I can deal with it." When Sam said these words, Hawk was almost done with his hand seal. An Eagle appeared in front of him and two wing-shaped wind blades moved towards Sam.

This time, not only did Sam stand there, he took out his golden scepter and began to twist it. Both ends of the stick aimed and condensed a large amount of fire as he turned the stick over his head.

Before the blades of wind approached him, Sam threw a thick flame at them. The two attacks collided and negated each other.

Sam and Hawk are at a dead end.

"You're really good. I think Kelly's exaggerating." Hawk praised.

"You're not bad yourself." Sam returned the compliment.

"Maybe we should stop testing each other? Why don't you get serious?" Hawk asked as he began to make hand seals.

This time neither answering nor just standing on the spot, he instead moved with his staff. As he swung his staff and was about to make contact with Hawk, a wind shield formed and stopped him.

Sam took a step back and went back to doing the same thing, this time the windshield again made contact. But Sam did not back down and the explosion occurred at the point of contact, pushing Hawk a step back.

Sam did not waste the opportunity and followed it with an attack afterwards. The movement is quick and precise. Hawk could not see it at all other than what he could see was the shadow Sam had left behind after the attack.

Immediately, he was unable to cope with the speed and took the full force of the attack. He fell on his back as he vomited blood from his mouth.

Sam did not stop. He moved again and just as he was about to make another successful attack, something unexpected happened.

The hawk was covered by a water shield and a water ball was launched towards him at the same time. Sam took the full force of the attack and landed several meters away. He coughed up blood and stood up.

When he regained consciousness, he saw Hawk covered with water balls on all sides.

"Oh, you are a double-elemental Witch. Didn't see it coming." Said Sam with a smile. He didn't look desperate at all. Yet he failed to see the expression of the audience filled with shock.

"Hawk's a double-element witch?"

"Yes, he's really hiding deep. I think he only has one element of wind. Who would have thought that he also had the water element?" Even Castor and Count Falcon felt shocked, for different reasons.

"I never thought he would use the water element here. He said that he might not need to use this in this tournament." Count Falcon said to Castor.

"I think it's his ace card." Castor spoke

"No. He said that no worthy opponent forced him to use it. Now he seems to have found someone. Maybe it's better this way." The Count said as he looked at Sam with interest.

Sam took his wand and moved. This time the speed was really faster and there was a flash of gold along with its after image. He swung his staff and his attack hit the water shield with the same explosion. The water on the surface of the shield evaporated, but the impact of the explosion and the blow of the stick was reduced in the form of ripples in the water.

He did not live there and moved away. Then the water ball was launched to where he was standing just a moment ago.

Sam continued to move with his baton and Hawk responded with equal defense and attack. Even after dozens of exchanges, dead locks remained. Both are unable to do some damage. But the situation changed.

When Sam lands a punch on the shield, the water scatters slightly and holds the stick in place, delaying Sam's movement a second time making the shave close to the water ball.

But Sam didn't change his strategy. Immediately the speed increases. He tried to see how much speed he needed to drop the water shield without using too much spiritual energy.

When he learned that this method was futile, Sam landed a punch instead of running away, he stood there and placed his hand on the shield. Hawk was a little surprised by this sudden change in pattern and was caught off guard. Before he realized what was happening, he saw Sam sneer and the latter inject a huge golden fireball into the water shield.

"What, is he using fire to fight water?"

"Yes. It's futile. I think he's using this as a last resort."

"Why did you call the last choice?"

"You know that fire is weaker than water. So, what's the point of using it that close and that too on the water shield directly. The odds are almost nil."

"Yes, maybe you're right."

The audience judged Sam's actions, but Hawk who was very close to the fire realized something was wrong.

The golden flame was small in size and should have been extinguished but kept burning like nothing had happened as it continuously turned the surrounding water into steam. Sam grinned as he made eye contact with Hawk and immediately increased the amount of Energy, he released making the intensity and size of the golden flame higher and higher fully evaporate that side of the water shield. Before Hawk could prepare, Sam's attack landed right on his chest, sending him flying.

Sam did not follow by attacking. Because, he was also panting. He scolded himself for trying so many times with a stick. Although he wanted to hone his skills, now he had to save his energy.

Hawk stood up with great difficulty. He was trying to guess what really happened. He looked at Sam with newfound admiration as well as a spirit of competition.

Sam was also very impressed with Hawk. He had a full understanding of his abilities and knew that he could defeat Level 2 Beginners. But he couldn't beat the Hawk who was at Level 1 Novice (beginner). That meant the battle prowess of others could not be taken lightly.

"I never thought so, I need to use this style in this tournament. I'm preparing it for a bigger stage, but Sam, you respect me for making me use this style."

Hawk spoke and released a large amount of spiritual energy. The stage is surrounded by water bubbles. Sam observed them and saw that the globular-sized bubbles were spinning on his own axis.

Sam stared at Bubble and then looked at Hawk who closed his eyes and spread his arms wide. He took out the stick in his hand and swung it into the air which shot a fireball towards Hawk.

But before the fireball could reach the target, the water bubbles collided with the fireball and both disappeared. But Sam suddenly feels something is wrong and before he realizes what happened, three blades of wind flew towards him from the point of collision and left a deep wound on his chest that was not covered in a mantle.

Sam took a step back and he accidentally collided with another bubble. Three blades of wind attacked again from behind. But this time, he only felt the impact.

Sam steadied himself and stood up properly. He looked at those bubbles and then at Hawk.

Hawk uses this time to recover his energy. Sam felt that he had to deal with this situation as soon as possible. He kept the staff and took out the Golden Crescent. When the audience saw the strange weapon with two blades, they were confused.

Sam moved the symbol and shifted it to arc mode. He took a deep breath and concentrated spiritual energy into his feet and jumped high up in the air.

As he began to fall, he moved his hand at incredible speed as he sent arrow after arrow to Hawk.

Hawk felt an arrow with fire spiritual energy coming towards him and he started guarding with bubbles. But the arrows are becoming faster and faster and more of a problem is that they negate the wind blades inside the bubble with a burst in contact.

Sam did not stop as he rained down on the stage with arrows all fused to a single point. Finally, Hawk could not face it and was hit by an explosion of arrow shots, but before he could fall, he sent the remaining bubbles towards Sam, who was almost down on stage.

Both candidates were hit by his opponent's attack. They fell on the stage without a bit of energy left. Hawk had tattered clothes and was full of wounds. But Sam's cloth is still good. The vest though was torn and there were wounds on the upper chest and chest.

"The fight is a series." Said Elder. Jack and Kelly take the stage and escort Hawk and Sam to the bottom of the stage.
