YM778.TV Chapter 105 The Tournament (21)
SWOOSH
Amber\'s punch traveled through the air toward Brittney\'s face, but the young woman tilted to the side and avoided the move. She counterattacked with an uppercut, but Amber blocked the move.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
Brittney released another sonic scream, but this time it was smaller in radius and very concentrated. Amber had barely time to avoid the attack. A small ring patch was cleared from the fog, meaning that Brittney had more space to fight.
She started pushing hard, but it was clear that winning against Amber was easier said than done. The girl kept pressing harder, finally obtaining some ground and making things complicated for Amber.
A slight grin appeared on the young woman\'s face, sending all the boys watching the fight into raptures. Amber suddenly increased her pace; she avoided Brittney\'s last punch and grabbed her arm.
Once she had a firm grip on the young woman, Amber kicked multiple times at her opponent\'s side, making Brittney lose all the air inside her lungs due to pain.
"ACK!"
The young woman gasped for air, but her brain was still fully functioning, and she started despairing. The young woman had just gained a slight advantage against Amber, but their skills were too far apart, and the Amber made Brittney pay for her recent push.
Then the gas manipulator threw Brittney in the air making her fall with her back on the ground. Brittney gasped as if she couldn\'t breathe anymore but recovered quickly since Amber wasn\'t attacking her anymore.
Though, as soon as she raised her head, Brittney\'s eyes opened in surprise. She was in the center of the ring, in a part where it was free of any gas, but the substance was floating all around her.
"You fell into my trap Brittney! Surrender, or I will make the fog gather on you!" Amber said while releasing much more gasses inside the ring.
Brittney channeled more mana into her lungs and tried to create the biggest sonic scream she had ever created. However, the young woman couldn\'t see where Amber was, so she couldn\'t correctly aim.
Though, she had a general direction since she heard Amber speak. The young woman inhaled deeply and then released a bewildering scream that dispersed all the fog in front of her.
The crowd had problems at that point since the attack reached even them. Some were sent flying, others were keeping their ears with their hands as they felt the pain, and some even lost consciousness.
The healers rushed out to fix their wounds, but there were simply too many of them, and the situation wasn\'t simple.
Though, Amber was nowhere to be found.
"Where are you?" Brittney shouted. "Show yourself!"
But Amber didn\'t, as she had had enough of the fight. The truth was that the young woman purposefully toned her attacks down to allow Brittney to show her capabilities to the people spectating the fight, as she didn\'t want to humiliate her in front of her parents and friends.
That was Amber, a kind person who thought of the others even during a fight, though the young woman herself had pride, and she, too, didn\'t want to look weak in front of the others.
It was at that moment that the breach inside the fog mended itself, and the substance started converging toward Brittney.
"FUCK!" the girl shouted. She channeled mana again, inhaled, and released another sonic scream, dispersing part of the fog again. However, the amount that Amber could create was much more than what Brittney could dissipate. The fog mended itself again and kept converging toward Amber\'s opponent. 5 meters, 3 meters, 1 meter.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Brittney released an inhuman scream as the fog made contact with her. The skin on her body started to burn and take on a red shade inside Amber\'s corrosive gas.
"Surrender now Brittney!" Amber said as she saw how close she was to victory.
Brittney\'s skin started slowly melting, sending a jolt of pain. The young woman kept her eyes closed in a vain attempt to protect her eyes, but it was futile.
"Brittney!" Amber shouted.
The woman released a weak lament and shouted, "I surrender!"
Immediately Amber dismissed the gas and ran toward Brittney to check on her condition. The healers did the same; once they saw the state she was in, they were very worried.
Amber toned down the strength of her gas, but it was devastating nonetheless. Brittney\'s skin was a mess, red in every spot and partially melted in others.
She was unrecognizable, as even part of her lips melted. Nothing that the healers couldn\'t fix, but in truth, they were worried about her mental state. Judging by her condition, Brittney suffered a lot, and some amounts of pain could really traumatize people.
Despite seeing the state in which Brittney had been reduced, the people watching the fight couldn\'t stop cheering for Amber.
Not only was she a very kind person, but she was also a strong warrior. Her gas was a devastating power, and if one day she could spread it for kilometers, she would be able to unleash death to countless thaids in a matter of minutes.
She would become a terrifying weapon indeed. Though, many doubted she could do something like this due to her character.
"Remember me not to make Amber angry for any reason," Erik said to Floyd.
"I can\'t promise it," the young man replied with a smug look, and Erik replied with a laugh.
"THE WINNER IS AMBER JOYCE!" The referee shouted, and cheers erupted again. Then Amber jumped out of the ring and went to his friends.
"Congratulations, Amber," Floyd said.
"Thank you!" she said, smiling.
Erik got shivers down his spine. He couldn\'t understand how she could smile so radiantly despite having almost melted down a person. Though Amber was like this, always optimistic and cheerful, no pain, fights, or misery could change her.
"It was a good fight, Amber!" Gwen said, "But you were too soft as usual. The next time, just end the match as soon as you can. There is no worth in giving your opponents the possibility to fight back!" It was clear that Gwen noticed what Amber did. After all, she was her best friend and knew her like her pockets.
After that, the group went to the gym, where Amber and Erik took a shower. Once they were out, they quickly dressed and went to the main entrance, where the electronic board was kept.
Though, as they observed the device, they saw that the following day\'s matches had already been announced, and everyone could see them on the board.

"SHIT!" Erik exclaimed. Floyd, Gwen, and Amber looked at Erik with ashen faces. His next opponent was going to be a tough nut to crack. It was Nathaniel.
"What do I do?" Erik asked with a worried tone to his friends.
"I don\'t know, it will be a tough fight for you..." Amber said.
"I don\'t think you can do much," Gwen said.
"You can only try not to be humiliated," Floyd said, "Because you are going to lose... Erik..."
