Amon, The Legendary Overlord Chapter 12

Elijah was already about to step forward, even if the referee didn't give the match signal, but his heart felt lighter afterward.

"Let the fight begin!" The referee yelled loudly.

Elijah's fire genetics have already reached his hand; he starts running and shouts "Fireball!" in sequence towards Nick.

Nick scoffed internally, he had wind genetics and he's from a very wealthy family; he always got what he wanted, so how low would his genetics be? He dodged easily; smiling contemptuously as he looked on, mocking Elijah who was desperate.

Nick was enjoying seeing his desperation, he wanted to see that kind of distorted expression of anger in Elijah.

"Damn it!" Elijah had 12 fire genes filled so he wouldn't wear out easily, however, this bastard managed to escape, and seeing his smile mocking him only increased the anger in Elijah's heart making the veins on his forehead show.

The calm, nonchalant, and at times sympathetic air Elijah always tried to demonstrate fell apart. It was as if he were another person, the audience was dumbfounded, shocked by what they were seeing.

"Is that my son?" Sonia muttered, uncertainly.

Elijah's expression was so angry that it even distorted his face, causing veins to appear on his forehead, surprising a lot of people.

Mainly with those who know him best, even his stepmother was frowning and shook her head looking disappointed.

The audience somehow didn't like Nick, but they hated Elijah even more and started booing this fight.

"What's going on, son?" Maicon Ferreira was anxious and worried. He even walked away from his current wife, so she wouldn't notice his current state, pretending to go to the bathroom.

While boos were shouted, some even wanted to throw things at them, but the barrier around the audience didn't allow for that, so all they could do was boo.

"My God, is this really Elijah?" A girl spoke with undisguised disgust.

As much as he had a pretty face, if he showed such an expression, it was impossible not to be disgusted. Especially Elijah's current one, whose distorted face showed veins on his forehead, and even the veins on his wrists and arms began to appear.

It was obvious that he was furious with Nick and wanted to finish him off.

Elijah's attacks were capable of killing a student with genetics below 15.

The referee just didn't stop the fight because he knew Nick's secret and knew he didn't have to worry about his safety.

"Is that all?" Haughty, Nick stopped and slapped a fireball instead of dodging. It was a total disregard for Elijah's power as if the balls of fire in his eyes were no different from a fly he could fend off with his hand.

Elijah's eyes got bloodshot, he looked like a demon. He hadn't felt this much rage in a long time and, as hard as he tried, he couldn't calm down. He totally lost his mind, and then, an incredibly sinister, wicked smile curved his lips.

"Yes, maybe it is..." He said ambiguously in an emotionless voice.

At that moment, he wasn't Elijah anymore, he was something else. He stopped and looked even more arrogant than Nick, and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! You think you beat me, don't you? Alright then, I'll show you the true strength of these flames!"

His once red flames dimmed, his eyes were slanted tighter, and a manic smile curled his lips.

"Has he lost it for good?" Nick didn't dare underestimate Elijah, he noticed the fluctuation of Elijah's genetics and saw that he was more powerful, nor did he look like he was the same person he was seconds ago.

"Ahaha, why are you so serious? Laugh, mock, come on, come on! Haha." Elijah laughed in an even more bizarre way and his feet were on fire, half of his pants caught on fire, turning them into shorts, his arms were on fire too and he headed towards Nick faster than ever before.

Nick thought fast, he saw all the possibilities in a matter of seconds in his mind, and in all of them he found himself losing. The power Elijah was showing was not something he could go against; he was amazed, how is such a thing possible? Does he have a split personality and one of them is stronger, is that possible?

Regardless of the reason, Nick knew he had to escape, he couldn't even defend himself. If he tried to defend himself, he would be burned for sure.

Using his genetics to empower his feet, he starts to move faster and runs away from Elijah, the fight becoming a cat chasing a mouse.

" Haha, weren't you all convinced, where is all your confidence now? Huh, come attack me head on, and stop running like a coward!" Elijah chuckled to the point where his eyes stretched and almost closed, his teeth seemed to have sharpened and he started to let drool flow, but he didn't care. All he wanted now was to have fun and destroy Nick who mocked and disdained him.

"Is this….is this Elijah?"

This was beyond expectations, the audience stopped booing and they had no reaction for a long time. The audience soon forgot their previous anger and felt their blood boil, this was becoming something exciting, they started screaming and stamping their feet on the ground causing the stands to shake.

The crowd's excitement was such that even the arena shook a little, causing Nick to almost stumble.

Elijah's smile widened, he stood up a few inches, and, with a shower of punches and kicks, he launched towards Nick.

Nick's clothes started to burn and his face started to get disfigured.

"Stop!" The headmaster's booming voice echoed and he appeared in the arena and stopped Elijah.

"Why? He still hasn't given up and fallen. Why do you have to stop me?" Elijah was still wearing the same demonic expression with a frightening smile, sending shivers down the spine of the beholder.

"He lost, you won. If this continues, you will kill him!" The director yelled angrily. This student was going too far.

"I…" Elijah slowly starts to regain consciousness, but then when he looks around and sees everyone scared and afraid of him, it makes him shiver. He knew the risk of using this forbidden genetic spell, for a few minutes he gains the strength of a demon; but the consequence is that it also distorts the personality of the person who used the Prohibited Genetic Charm.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself, nothing good would happen if he got agitated.

"Elijah of Class 301 won." The referee spoke without expression. In reality, he was even angry, after all, it was just a high school tournament, it was supposed to be fun. However, Elijah went overboard from the start, attacking the girl in the belly on purpose, and with his genetic level he could have avoided using genetics and just used physical force, as Amon Tang did.

Now, Elijah became the target of everyone's mockery and some looked on with anger, disgust, and fear at him. After all, his expression was frightening, that laugh was bizarre, it sounded like the laugh of a demon that made their souls shudder when they heard it.

Adults were not so affected, but other students were.

Elijah wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't think of anything to justify what he did. In the end, he left the arena with his head bowed.

Even though he won, he didn't feel like he won. After all, he disappointed a lot of people, and the fear of how he would be treated by his stepmother after that...

'It's all Amon's fault! Yeah, if it wasn't for Nick talking about Amon and wanting to talk about it, this wouldn't have happened. Since Amon showed up, my life has turned into a mess. He needs to die, I'm going to kill him... Wait, killing isn't right? No, I'm going to beat him, I'm going to show that I'm better, now that they know and they saw me like that, so what? After a while they will forget, I just have to behave, but Amon will have a worse fate than Nick. I want to disfigure his whole face so he's ashamed to go out on the street!'

Elijah's thoughts began to wander the more he thought, but he thought it was right for him to disfigure Amon's face and make him disappear forever!

"The next contestant is... Amon Tang versus... Julia Queiroz!" The referee spoke in an excited voice. At least he looked kindly on Amon. Though indifferent, he didn't try to kill a student like Elijah did, nor did he try to pretend to be something he wasn't.

Especially the moment he got on stage and he was still calm and indifferent; Julia also climbed into the arena.

Julia looked at Amon and sighed, "My bad luck, I know I won't win, but can we do this as practice instead?"

"Mm?" Amon was confused.

"Just give me tips, I know you are strong, I want to be strong too! So please give me some tips and I'll give up the fight later." She bowed sincerely.

"Okay." Amon was always trained by his grandfather and grandmother. Though he doesn't know how to control his strength, he could teach if he didn't attack.

"Thanks." Julia smiled and became serious.

Seeing this, Elijah's anger only increased. 'The girl I like bowed to Amon, that bastard, and asked him for advice? Why didn't she come to me?'

Veins began to throb in Elijah's arms as he squeezed his hands tightly; that feeling sucked. He wished he could enter the arena and end Amon's life!

Even the audience was not happy with Julia's request and was very surprised to see Amon agree. Still, the referee was excited to announce the start of the match, even though the winner was already decided.
