Seru changed into a phoenix but that phoenix looked more like a chicken especially with wattles, comb, and beak. But his body didn't transform rather formed a flame body that looks like a phoenix/chicken. Seru's flames were scorching hot.

'Damn! That's an S-Rank Innate Ability. I hope Mike can cope with him otherwise we will lose.' Seeing a flaming bird in the sky, Olive's facial expression changed. She wanted to go but suddenly realized Zen was healing himself with a weird yellow flower.

'Calm down, Mike! This is not the time to joke around. I must defeat him within the remaining four minutes.' As his eyes shifted back from the clock, Mike glanced at Seru circling in the sky. But suddenly, his expression changed.

Seru's speed was faster than the wings of the helicopter. It was also creating the denser fire circle around it. When the flames condensed into a thick circle, Seru stopped next to the circle.

"Raining Stream of Phoenix Flames"

Boom! Bang!

A massive stream of red flames fell over Mike. But the next moment, Mike appeared ninety meters above the ground. He appeared just beside Seru. He raised his leg and smashed on the head of Seru.

Thud!

The leg was coated with red energy. With unknown to everything that happened, Seru collides against the ground on his chest, spilling out blood from his mouth.

"Stars Fall Evening!"

Suddenly, Mike raised both of his hands up in the air. The entire crowd was shocked by his escape. Even Olive didn't know how he got away. The Genetic Ability- Teleport finally came to the right use. While Seru was figuring out what happened, giant clusters of meteorites fell from the sky.

"Freaking amazing! Participant Mike Tyson is summoning the meteorites from space. And, these meteorites are burning like a molten pieces of rock. Let's see if participant Seru has a powerful escape route. I don't see any skills to block those meteorites. Can Participant Seru escape this skill?" MC shouted with his excited voice cheering the entire crowd.

The crowd didn't panic since they have spent one million dollars on the ticket. They knew the arenas have an unbreakable force field that can guarantee their safety without blocking their vision and impact.

"Well! You look that. A beautiful rain of molten rocks. It seems we have a powerful enemy. Don't you think, Ares?" A man standing six feet tall spoke with a wide smirk on his face. He had a slender body with pointy ears and a pale complexion. He was wearing a blue jacket and jeans.

He was a Half-Elf.

Beside him, there was a muscular youth standing with a tall body and an uncaring expression on his face. He had two horns on his head and a tail. He was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans as well. But, there was an uncanny aura around him.

This aura felt a little domineering but mixed with immense pride. He was a Half-Dragon. He also glanced at Mike from his seat and then shifted his gaze. Ares was a Half-Dragon that has the pride and confidence of a true dragon.

But, he also has the personal strength backing it.

"Aarav, you need to be a little more serious about it." A girly voice rang as the Half-Elf named Aarav's gaze shifted back. There was a girl sitting on a chair. She was around six feet tall with red hair and red pupils. She didn't look much different than normal humans but she was a Half-Vampire.

Her bloody aura was hidden deep in her shadow.

"Come on, Ava! I was just feeling excited. But, there is still nothing to worry about few bugs, right?" Aarav's smile gets wider with a trace of amusement in his tone.

"Are you sure?" Ava turns her head at Mike and muttered. She was completely not bothered by his heinous smile. Rather, she was curious about Mike's strength.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

"A human awakened a month ago reaches the thirteenth rank of soldier realm while practicing two A-Rank skills to perfection. He has absorbed two drops of dragon blood. And, he has genes related to space attributes. I guess, he isn't a bug, is he?" Suddenly, a figure walked towards them with heavy steps.

He was seven feet tall with long hair. Although he was wearing a suit, he had a ferocious aura covering him. His body was slender with average looks. He had long nails like the claws.

"Oh! Look like you gathered quite an information about that human, Arthur!" Ava shifted her glance at him and spoke with a surprised tone.

"But, his opponent isn't easy either. Seru, a human who has awakened Red Phoenix Innate Ability. Due to that, he can't hide his wings most of the time. He has consumed five drops of Golden-Winged- Roc. This battle is about Strength versus Speed." Arthur didn't bother replying to her instead fixate his eyes on the molten rocks that were falling on the ground.

At this moment, Seru who was covered in flames was dodging each rock with an incredible speed. He didn't get hurt by a single rock as he moved towards Mike. With his speed faster than Mach Two, he was able to vanish from others' eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The molten rocks fell on the ground, shaking the entire arena. 

Whoosh!

With Seru's speed, he only had to land a solid punch at Mike. He clenched his fist and muttered "I can't beat him with raw strength. But my speed has a high advantage. With this speed, I can easily land a punch with force equal to that of a rank two general."

"After all, Speed is Power."

At this moment, Mike's eyes were closed. Numerous thoughts were running in his mind as he was analyzing his situation. When he saw Seru dodging all of those rocks, he knew this was going to be hard.

'Mike, let's focus on strength. He has nothing more than the speed. Even though his flames are as powerful as mine, it isn't destructive. He is relying on his speed. I must gather my strength at my fist. Impact! It's not just about destroying something from outside rather it needs to be destroyed from inside and outside.'

'Currently, I have one move that can focus on both. I need to be clear about his position. One-second delay will be disastrous especially with his speed. Covering my strength with Slaughter Spirit and Fighting Spirit, I can make a powerful impact. I just need timing. Here he comes!'

The moment he realized the position of Seru, he turned to his right. While turning right, he slams his fist on Seru. At the same time, Seru slams his fist on Mike's stomach. The fist coated with Slaughter Spirit and Fighting Spirit breaks his flames into nothingness.

"Fire Demon Fighting Four Directions- Western Hidden Punch"

Bang! Bang!

The impact spread throughout his skin as the brute force break the bones on his cheeks with his jaws. The flames enter his body and spread throughout his meridian. In an instant, intense burning pain struck Seru as he slowly losses his consciousness and fell.

But, the flames inside him were removed by his own phoenix flames. Mike got his ribs broken. Even though he was using the defense granted by his Unique Ability and Golden Slime, his ribs were still broken.

Gah!

As Mike coughed out blood from his mouth, he also blinks his eyes with tiredness. But suddenly, opens it wide as he sees the overwhelming flames burning out of Seru. Only at this moment, he saw Olive punching Zen deep on the ground.

As well, the flower over Seru's head. He realized that Zen must have healed Seru. But doing so, he damages his own body. Olive's punches weren't sucker punches. She was using her full strength in each punch creating a devastating blow.

"Hyper Speed Spear"

Splash!

Suddenly, a sharp invisible spear pierced Seru's stomach. The blood gushed out as he slowly closes his eyes and fell to the ground. Nobody understood how he got hurt. Nobody understood how he got defeated after getting healed.

But, Mike knew this all along. Although Zen healed Seru, he couldn't bring that same strength back. His stamina was consumed. The flames might be burning overwhelmingly but they were also weakening at great speed.

Although Hyper Speed Spear doesn't have a strong attack power, it can pierce anything as long as nothing blocks it. If his stamina wasn't consumed, he might be able to burn the spear even before it could pierce him. Since Mike can't attach Slaughter Spirit or Fighting Spirit in it.

But, with such a less amount of ability energy, his flames couldn't properly sustain themselves. Or at least, he thought so. Suddenly, the moment Seru reached few inches above the ground, red flames soar towards the sky.

At this moment, Seru's flames turned crimson and felt much more powerful. He slowly gets up with the domineering aura and the flames spread all around him.

'Phoenix Rising from the Ashes'

In an instant, his physical strength, stamina, and ability energy were at their peak. Although everyone was shocked, the most shocked person was none other than Seru as he questioned himself.

'What the fuck is the going on?'
