Golden Fox with System

450 Chapter 450

"Shall we start then, Apollo?" Theo flew into the center of the tournament arena with wings made of wind.

"Yes." Apollo took a deep breath, becoming calm in spirit.

Waru and the rest positioned themselves around the two and created a formation strong enough to protect the public from attacks.

Standing opposite of each other, Theo was still in his normal human form; only his ten tails could be said to be his most powerful weapon at that moment. Apollo, on the other hand, knew that he could not start without preparation. He materialized his noble spirit, which was something very similar to the sun with a smiling face, something very strange to say the least, and when he did, Apollo looked like a human torch radiating a warm aura, his body completely engulfed in flames.

Theo was not afraid of the flames and was not frightened to see Apollo this way. He waited with a simple smile on his face as he let Apollo prepare.

Apollo took a fiery sword in his right hand and put on a determined look that was full of fighting spirit. His eyes no longer looked like his usual playful eyes; it looked like he was possessed, and he started to murmur many strange things.

'What is he doing?' Theo wondered curiously.

"Get ready!" Apollo screamed in a high-pitched voice and flew towards Theo with giant wings of fire. It was as if he left a trail of flames that soon spread out into the wind.

Theo took a fighting stance, and instead of using fire, he used ice. When Theos icy aura manifested, the people, who were feeling warm, started to feel cold. It was a cold that felt like even hell would freeze over due to it...

Theo used no weapon. He wanted to test to what extent Apollo's power level was currently. If necessary, he could go a little more serious.

*Cut off the Sun!*

Apollo screamed and with a cut from top to bottom, he swung in Theo's direction. What was most surprising was that the sword, which had been 3 meters long before, now was more than 10 meters and completely on fire, looking like the flames of the sun itself. Before, if the spectators had been cold, they were now starting to get hot again. The heat of the sword was that intense.

"This is cool," Theo commented and with a wave of his hand, he made something like a round dome around his body made of ice.

*Boooooooooooooooom!*

The earth vibrated.

The ice dome Theo created showed signs of cracking, but Apollo's sword also lost its strength initially and he was forced to pull back when he saw an ice spear leave the dome hurtling towards him.

Like shattered glass, the dome disintegrated shortly thereafter, and Theo appeared. The audience went crazy: screams, whistles, and thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue.

Apart from some small flakes of ice on his clothes, Theo was unharmed. Apollo also showed no signs of injury or fatigue. He was still in his strange state, as he mumbled and stared at Theo.

"If I attack from the left, he will defend himself, but if I were to jink, he would also be able to defend himself. I don't see an opening... What do I do?..." Apollo murmured.

"Huh?!" Apollo cried out in surprise when he saw that Theo disappeared so suddenly.

*Boooom!*

"Get ready, activate formation and protect the public," shouted Atena.

What happened was that Theo appeared behind Apollo and with a heavy punch, he hit Apollo's rib, causing him to be thrown at the speed of light towards a mountain not far from the arena.

*Boooom!*

A very loud crash echoed, and shock waves reached the arena. If it were not for Aomi, Waru, and the rest protecting them, surely more than half would have died from the shock wave.

"My God! This is insane!"

"My mom asked why I'm kneeling on the floor; I told her that I'm seeing an epic battle between two titan warriors."

Apollo seemed to be possessed when fighting; he was always murmuring strange things and attacking in the smallest breaches that Theo left. What should be said of this was that the battle was of great benefit to Theo; although he was not going to get hurt, this battle was still great training to learn his own flaws and fix them.

But it wasn't like Apollo didn't benefit from it. He got stronger by the second; he seemed to get used to Theo's pace and continued to attack more aggressively over time.

*Kempo Art of Golden Destruction!*

Theo's hand began to vibrate at high frequency and became golden in color. It was even brighter than the flames that surrounded Apollo's body.

Apollo felt danger coming from Theo's attack. He immediately used his most powerful attack which was the creation of a small star of fire:

*Lord of the Sun!*

"Damn, get ready!" Athena swore. She knew that this time it would be difficult to protect the public.

*Boooom!*

Incredibly, Apollo was launched miles away by the impact. Theo, on the other hand, remained in the same place, flying smoothly with his wings made of wind.

*Booooom!*

Another thunderous sound echoed across Star Fallen Island and an entire mountain was wiped out the moment Apollo fell, creating a gigantic crater. And because of the high temperature of the flames surrounding Apollo's body inside the crater, its entirety was set on fire.

"My father, I thought I was going to die this time...!" someone in the crowd shouted.

All living beings in the audience felt their hearts beat wildly; it was as if they were on a cliff that was about to collapse, and at any moment they could fall and die.

Even though Aomi and the rest were dripping with sweat, they had to use a lot of spiritual mana to be able to defend the audience.

"Hahaha! Didn't Yui say that my dad is the best!?" Little Yui applauded.

"Yes, Dad is the best!" Little Emma also applauded.

'Dad?' Little Emma's mother Elise felt strange when she heard what her daughter said.

"Emma?" Some of the Red Dragon Clan disciples were suspicious that it was her.

'Theo is indeed very incredible!' Manuela murmured in her heart. Her eyes were heart-shaped as she looked at Theo in all his splendor.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Apollo did not return. Waru, Theo, and the rest went to see what happened since although it was a powerful attack, it shouldn't have been enough to knock out Apollo, let alone kill him.

Inside the crater, Apollo was sitting cross-legged and was emanating an even more powerful aura than before.

"Ohh! He's advancing to the Monarch Spiritual Realm!" Nimei, fifth in the Spirit Planet Rank, screamed with envy. He looked at Theo and started to think maybe he should fight him too...

"Quickly! Get away from him!" Athena screamed. Apollo was about to go through the heavenly tribulation. It would be no good if they stayed close and increased the difficulty of Apollo's celestial tribulation.

'This is great...' Athena thought as she walked away. With Apollo entering the Monarch Spiritual Realm, they would have one more strength on their side to fight with them in the planetary battle yet to come…
