Against The Gods With An Anime System 82 Tournament - Round Of 32 - Day 3 - Part 3

"Yes, I am ready partner." Said Ddraig.

Arriving at the arena, he could see Fen Juebi standing there. He was on guard and ready to fight Mesa. But Mesa on the other hand, came to the arena while talking… to his left hand. Granted, it had been donned with the Boosted Gear, but people were looking at him, thinking that he had a screw loose or something.

"So Ddraig, how long would it take for us to achieve Balance Breaker." Said Mesa to the Boosted Gear while he was on the arena, before the match started. Everyone was looking at him, thinking he lost his mind or something. Calling his left hand Ddraig and asking for something called a 'Balance Breaker'. Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli, Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Ling Yun and everyone else were very confused with Mesa's behavior.

Leaning over to whisper into Chu Yuechan's ear, Chu Yueli said: "Sister, why is he talking to his hand like that? And do you know what thing on his hand is?"

"No, I have no idea why he is talking to his hand like that or what that thing is. But it does look a lot like that red dragon like armor he had on when he came in. Maybe it has something to do with that." Whispered Chu Yuechan into Chu Yueli's ear. Unbeknownst to them, Xia Qingyue picked up on their conversation and started wondering what was going on.

'What is he doing? Did he suddenly lose his mind or something?' Wondered Cang Yue and everyone else who were watching him.

"Contestant Mesa Uchiha, are you ready? I will begin this match right now." Said Elder Ling Wugou, who wasn't in the mood to wait for Mesa to finish, whatever he was doing.

"Not right now! I am having a conversation with my partner right now. Can you hold on for a second?" Said Mesa while emphasizing his partner to be his left hand.

This reaction of his brought one question to everyone's minds: 'What the h.e.l.l is this guy talking about?'

But to their greatest surprise, they heard a voice coming out of Mesa's left hand: "Ahh yes, the Balance Breaker. It is going to take you 5 minutes before you can activate it. But in the meantime, while the Boosted Gear is gathering the necessary power to achieve Balance Breaker, you can't use any other power. If you get hit, the process will be interrupted and you will have to start all over again."

Completely stunned by that mighty voice coming out of Mesa's left hand that had the Boosted Gear on, everyone didn't know what was going on. But Mesa himself acted like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Understood Ddraig." Said Mesa before he turned to Fen Juebi.

"Well, you've heard the dragon. It is going to take me 5 minutes to activate the Balance Breaker and in the meantime I can't use any of my powers or get hit. So how about this, I will give you those 5 minutes to hit me just once. If you manage to do that I will give up. But just in case you're thinking that I will cheat, don't worry. Once you hit me, the timer on the Boosted Gear will reset and that way you'll know you've hit me. So what do you say. Are you interested?" Said Mesa to Fen Juebi who looked very conflicted on the matter. On the one hand he wanted to do as his brother told him and not take a deal with Mesa. But on the other hand, the offer Mesa gave him sounded incredibly tempting.

"What will happen once that 5 minutes are over then. Are you going to kill me just like you did Mu Xiongyan!" Said Fen Juebi.

"Nope! I will not kill you or injure you at all. But you best make sure that you hit me within 5 minutes. Cause if you don't, you'll lose." Said Mesa, infuriating Fen Juebi.

"Fine than! I will take you up on your offer!" Said Fen Juebi angrily. Meanwhile back at the Burning Heaven Clan seating area, Fen Juecheng was angry at Fen Juebi for falling for Mesa's taunt and taking the deal, that he explicitly told him not to take.

"Alright, than it's a deal. But just to make it easier for you, I will put this thing on." Said Mesa as he put on a blindfold.

"Alright Ddraig, once the match starts, start the countdown."

Chu Yuechan groaned once she saw the blindfold. Chu Yueli got curious and asked her why she suddenly groaned.

"Because of that blindfold he just put on, I know exactly why he did it. He has this battle sense as he like to call it and putting on that blindfold helps him train it. He did it a few times when we stayed in our cabin and it was annoying. Every time he put on the blindfold he would dodge every attack I threw at him. He would then come up to me to poke me and say 'missed me, try again', over and over again. It was absolutely infuriating." Said Chu Yuechan in an exasperated tone.

"MATCH START!" Bellowed out Ling Wugou.

With the start of the match, the timer on the Boosted Gear had started and Fen Juebi launched himself forward to Mesa, who just casually dodged him. Taking out his sword, the Demon Flame blade – a Sky Profound weapon, he starts slashing and thrusting it at Mesa, who still casually dodges every attack of his. Pretty soon, Fen Juebi's body erupted with scarlet flames that was all then concentrated on his sword. Thrusting out his sword towards Mesa, a huge flaming, super high temperature tornado followed suit and exploded when it 'hit' Mesa. When the dust had dissipated, there was nothing left there.

"Where is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d! There's no way it could have ended so easily!" Hissed Fen Juebi through his teeth, looking around for Mesa.

"OHH YOOOOOOHOOOOOO!! I am right here Shinji Junior!" Called out Mesa voice from behind Fen Juebi. Turning around, he was infuriated to see Mesa. Because he was just filing his fingernails. Even though he had a blindfold on, everyone could see that he had a bored look on his face, like all this is just child's play.

"Come on Shinji Junior, I know you can do better than that! I can dodge attacks of this level with my eyes closed, like I am literally doing right now. Step it up a little, would ya!" Said Mesa in a bored tone, while filing his fingernails and not even looking in Fen Juebi's general direction.

"YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What did you just call me?!" Bellowed out Fen Juebi in rage.

"Ask your brother after this match is over. He knows what it's about." Said Mesa while casually giving a finger gun wink towards Fen Juecheng, who pulverized the armrests on his chair in rage.

'YOU f.u.c.kING b.a.s.t.a.r.d!! I WILL GET YOU!!' Thought Fen Juecheng after Mesa finger gun wink at him.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Fen Juebi exploded in rage and infused his Demon Flame Blade with so much Fire Profound Energy, till it glowed in a red-orange light, and pounced on Mesa with a raging flurry or sword slashes and thrusts. Yet Mesa dodged every single one of his attacks.

Seeing Mesa dodge his attacks with no effort at all, Fen Juebi took his Flame Profound Energy to the next level and his flames went from red-orange to blue and even his sword was glowing in a blue light. Swinging out his sword, a ma.s.sive curtain of fire, covering half of the arena closed in Mesa. Once the flames reached Mesa, they detonated with a ma.s.sive explosion that shook the Energy Barrier covering the arena and blew out a wave of heat across the audience. After everything dissipated, the audience saw what Fen Juebi did to the arena. It was charred black and the stone arena had even started melting in a few places. Yet there was no Mesa.

"CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP" As Fen Juebi heard the clapping, his body froze in rage and slowly turned around. There behind him, at the other side of the arena stood Mesa, clapping and smiling mockingly at him.

"Impressive lightshow man. Hey! Can you do all the colors of the rainbow and do you happen to do parties." Said Mesa with a s.h.i.t eating grin on his face. Even the audience started snickering and laughing at Fen Juebi, who was desperately trying to hit Mesa, yet every single time he couldn't and he would get angrier and angrier and the audience were enjoying this. But the Burning Heaven Clan were not amused. In fact, they were getting increasingly angrier at Mesa and his antics humiliating Fen Juebi and calling their proud and ill.u.s.trious Fire Profound Arts a light show and asking if he did parties.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!! YOU FILTHY MAGGOT!!! I AM GONNA KILL YOU!!! KILL YOU!!! KILL YOU!!! KILL YOU!!!" Screamed Fen Juebi, who was fuming with unbridled hate for Mesa and didn't even bother to hide it.

"Come on Shinji Junior, why all that hate. I am just trying to help you out man. If this whole Burning Heaven Clan shtick doesn't pan out for you, I know the perfect career for you. You can be a stage magician and I know the perfect stage name for you. 'Shinji Junior, master of the Rainbow Fire'. How does that sound." Said Mesa with grand gestures while casually dodging Fen Juebi's attacks and in between Fen Juebi cursing him.

At some point, the jewel on the Boosted Gear started shining with a bright green light, indicating that time is up and that the Balance Breaker was ready for deployment.

"Sorry Shinji Junior, but time's up. It's my turn now." Said Mesa as he took of his blindfold and put Fen Juebi in a genjutsu, freezing him in place. Taking on a Super Saiyan power up stance, Mesa was ready to activate the Balance Breaker.

"ALRIGHT DDRAIG, LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!!"

"LET'S GO PARTNER!!"

RED DRAGON EMPEROR: BALANCE BREAKER (X2)

And then, Mesa was enveloped in a red light that was so bright, that it blinded everyone who looked at it. After the light died down and everyone could see again, they were stunned silent by what they saw. There on the stage, Mesa was in the same red draconic armor he had on when he made his grand entrance all those days ago. The aura of domination that he emitted back then was back. As he stood straight and proud, steam was pouring out of the joint in jets. And then his mighty dragon wings unfurled. And there he stood, the Red Dragon Emperor. In all his glory.

BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST

It was at this moment that everyone despaired. Everyone had stopped what they were doing and looked on in fear at Mesa. Even Ling Kun was filled with fear, but against all odds managed to hide it. Mesa stepped forward slowly, but every time the green jewels on his armor glowed, they heard the mighty dragon call out 'BOOST' and his level of strength jumped up one level. He started out at level 6 Spirit Profound Realm, but by the time he stood in front of Fen Juebi, who shivering in fear and crying, his level of strength was at level 8 Earth Profound Realm.

"Pfft… pathetic worm. You are not worthy of desecrating the armor of the Red Dragon Emperor with. Just surrender." Said Mesa mockingly at Fen Juebi.
