Eliot frowned, 'Isn't he fighting to his full ability? Admittedly, I haven't seen him being as dominant as he has been for a while... But it makes sense, with my speed, how could he be?' He thought, so he smiled.
"Well, let me see what ability you're talking about." He replied and lunged at Matt again at high speed as he swung his sword in a horizontal motion once more.
Still, this time, Matt waited until the last moment to move. In that instant, he centralized his vampiric power in his legs to increase the force of his leap and jumped at an absurd speed toward Eliot.
That would be counterproductive if he were anyone else. Using all the power in your legs just to propel yourself when you need to defend, or attack is a pretty stupid tactic that no one would do.
But Matt did it, because he's not just anyone.
'If the body is a tool that contains vampiric power, what's stopping me from using it as a sword or a spear? Since I can't move much power through the sword I have, then I'll use my arms as a tool, then I can demonstrate my full power!' Matt thought with a big smile at that instant. It was a thought that went through his mind the night before, and now it fit like a glove.
His vampiric power mobilized inside his body from his legs to his arms, and then a powerful attack hit Eliot's stomach without him noticing...
"BUAGHHHH!" A scream mixed with a spurt of blood shot out of his mouth at that instant, and his body fell backward like a meteorite, landing on the sand with a huge explosion.
Still, this was only the beginning.
Matt immediately pounced on him, striking him on the cheek against the ground, causing a huge crack all over the fighting arena.
All in all, Eliot's quick counterattack still caught him slightly, which surprised him, 'His skill is too fast. I must finish the fight quickly.' Matt thought when he looked at that a sword wound had formed on his arm.
It was only a second that this guy had to breathe, and with all and all, he managed to launch a counterattack.
Although the vampiric power in his arm managed to avoid a large part of the damage, the thing is that if he attacked him with such a fast attack from a blind spot, it might be difficult for him to be able to move the vampiric power in time to defend himself.
Therefore, he gave him one more flurry of blows to the chest, sending him to another side of the arena.
Matt wasted no time and immediately ran after him to end the fight, charged with a blow destined to take him completely out of the arena...
Soon, it came down on him at great speed.
*BOOOOOOOOM*
A vast explosion rose, and smoke covered the entire combat arena, preventing the people outside from seeing what was happening.
Although no one needed to think what would happen, how could Eliot resist an attack as powerful as that?
That's right, he didn't resist it.
'He dodged it at the last moment... I felt his power increase dramatically.' Matt thought as he looked behind him, and just then, his eyes widened as he saw something shimmer through the smoke.
'A ring!?' He thought in shock as he saw a hand appear with a ring there...
'Shit!' He shouted in his mind, then with a somewhat desperate look as he understood what had happened...
Just at those, Eliot's voice sounded very close to him.
"Matthew Dietrich, you are very powerful, I admit it. The fact that I must use this ring to beat you makes embarrass me, but this time, victory is mine." He spoke.
Suddenly, a flash shone through the vast curtain of smoke above the arena, and a mighty sword attack split the curtain...
*SWOSH*
The attack flew at great speed and crashed the thick walls near the stands.
This shocked Eliot, 'Did he dodge it!?' He thought in shock...
But then, he felt an intense pain in his back when a fist hit him with terrifying force...
A few moments before that, Matt was forced to use his dimensional movement to dodge that attack, and the next time he appeared, he used all his power concentrated in his fist to give Eliot a decisive blow...
The impact of that fist was tremendous and sent Eliot flying tens of meters at an incredible speed until he hit the walls of the bleachers with a great explosion.
Everyone was in shock at what had happened up to the moment of the dust explosion. But since they lost sight of what was happening, they only heard two impacts, one after the other, and both impacts happened on the walls near the bleachers, leaving them in shock.
The referees ran towards the place where the last explosion had happened, as they saw that a body had crashed there and were stunned when they saw that it was Eliot.
Just at those moments, the dust began to disperse from the arena, and everyone returned to their senses...
"Eliot Roberts has lost!" shouted one of the referees, being the first of many similar shouts throughout the arena...
"He lost!!? Impossible!" Shouted many of them. Some even fainted from disbelief and rage (like Harry Brown).
No one could believe what they had seen except for one beautiful little lady who jumped from the bleachers into the arena.
"Matt!" she shouted with a beautiful smile of joy, wanting to congratulate him with a hug. But her action startled Matt.
'What the hell is she doing, this girl!?' He thought in shock. Without hesitation, he jumped towards her to quickly hold her before she fell to the ground.
Still, as much as he wanted to scold her for what she did, he couldn't as he saw that she was smiling happily, as if she was the one who had won.
"Matt, you did it! You really did it, Matt! Congratulations!" she shouted with a big smile, causing Matt to be unable to do anything but smile.
Her overflowing happiness at something he had accomplished made him feel good, so he nodded at her, "Thanks, Isla. See? I told you I could do it." He replied, smiling, and she nodded happily...
Although only the two of them had come out of shock, the rest continued to wonder if what they saw was real.
