[Collisium]

Everyone was surprised to see Luke being serious in a fight, even Alda was astounded he even wonders if Luke was also a attention seeker

"This old man... Does he really have to get all those attention? He is even serious than me when facing a weaker opponent" muttered Alda

As he said this Lily, Mia and Hibiki became worried for the reason that Luke was an triple S rank adventurer while his opponent wasn't even an adventurer, such difference was like comparing a rock to mountain... The gap was really huge

"Isn't this kinda like bullying? He's actually not holding back" said Mia

"Yeah! If he goes full head on then I'm afraid that he would endanger his opponent's life" added Lily

After thinking for a while Hibiki shook his head in denial as he deducted what seems to be Luke's reason for going all out

"It seems that isn't the reason... By going all out is the most efficient way to show respect to your opponent no matter he is" he said

"That's why he's going all out... But the thing is his action caused people to be attracted to him hahaha!!!" Laughed Alda

At that even if they are against it both Mia and Lily tried to understand Luke's intentions

***************

[Kaido's group balcony]

On Kaido's side everyone except Kaido gasp in surprise and shivered in fright as they witness that Okou's opponent is way much stronger than Rebecca's opponent

"Papa will big brother Okou Okou die?" Muttered Sui as she feared for Okou's well being

Since Luke's aura was not concentrated to a single location everyone in the arena felt Luke's aura and this terrifying aura scared Sui who doesn't even have a single fighting capability

"Don't worry he won't die" answered Zia as she noticed that Kaido was paying full attention to Okou's opponent and didn't notice Sui

Even Melfina, Anna, and princess Ingrid was surprised to how seriously Kaido took this in

For Kaido himself the moment he felt the aura an intense rush suddenly dawned him and this feeling was excitement

He was somehow feeling excited to have a fight with Okou's opponent that he concentrated all his attention to it, just as he deducted he wasn't even sure if he could defeat Luke in a even one on one battle so he will clearly study his movement

****************

[Arena]

As the person facing Luke, Okou remembered that Kaido instructed him to make Luke go all out in his match and since he already managed to make Luke go serious on him then his next move is to make Luke show his real strength

Even with the heavy pressure Okou gathered his resolve as he steps to the ground and charged up to Luke

Seeing that Okou didn't backed down from a simple pressure Luke lips arched up in a form of a smile as he muttered behind his shield

"Come! Show me what you got!!!"

At that Luke raised his huge shield to his eye level and stood firm to his ground

The moment Okou arrived near Luke he swung down his sword so hard and activated a spell

"Heavy Swing!!!"

As he said that he hammered down his sword against Luke's shield which sent shockwaves around the area

But after this Okou noticed that his attack was ineffective so he stepped back as he attacked again with another spell

"Cleave!!!"

When Okou swung his sword sideways another shockwaves was sent when both sword and shield clashed

At that Okou's eyes widened in shock as he saw Luke standing firm to his ground and didn't even move a little from that impact

When Luke received two strikes from Okou he muttered behind his shield in which only Okou can hear him

"My turn"

At that Luke flung his shield upwards which threw Okou off balance as he hammered down his own sword

As he struck a down Okou hurriedly jumped off to avoid Luke's strike and the strike caused to dust sprung up and the ground shake

As the dust cleared the sword strike left a huge crack to the ground which shows just how strong Luke attacked him and this completely shocked Okou

Immediately Luke dashed forward as he shouted

"Shield Bash!!!"

With that attack Okou quickly held his shield up but when both shield collide the force was so strong that it sent Okou flying back and stumbling to the ground

After that when Okou tried to stand up he was suddenly struck by Luke's shield in his chin which dazed him for a little, followed by another spell

"Heavy Strike!!!"

At that a huge explosion occured which made Okou crash miles away from Luke

Luckily Okou is wearing an armor so the damage was deducted a little

"Strong!!!" Muttered Okou as he wipes the blood from his lips

With a step from Luke the ground shook a little and then followed by another attack coming from him

"Judgement Swing!!!"

With that spell Luke sent out a huge slash made out of light element to Okou, upon seeing this Okou held his shield up and casted another spell on himself

"Vanguard!!!"

Okou immediately used his life savings Trump card because he felt that if he didn't do it he would be killed from that attack

When the attack landed a huge explosion much bigger than the previous occured and this completely attracted every citizens, nobles, and royalties from other kingdoms and cheered for Luke himself

"This is the power of an peak adventurer!!!"

"Show them the power of the Empire!!!"

"Luke! Luke! Luke!"

As cheers erupted it completely covered the whole collisium by the voices of the people

Even when the attack successfully landed Luke still held on to his stern face as he sensed that Okou is still standing up

Surely when the dust settled everyone gasp in surprise as they saw Okou beaten up but still standing against Luke

Due to that attack Okou's shield broke as also his other parts of his armor, the attack was so strong that it made his customized armor to just break apart

Even with this Okou didn't backed down as he roared and charged up again at Luke

Seeing this Luke also charged up to Okou himself

"Shield Bash!!!" Shouted Okou

The moment he did this Luke stepped sideways to dodge Okou's attack and the moment he dodged it he swung down his sword

"Heavy Strike!!!"

"Heavy Strike!!!" Shouted Okou as he simultaneously casted a spell the moment Luke casted a spell and because of this another shockwave was sent and this shockwave completely assaulted the spectators

Due to the difference in strength Okou can

Dashed down to the floor but he immediately rolled over and stood up as he dashed forward

"Heavy Swing!!!"

When Okou attacked Luke held up his shield again to block it and counter attacked with a strike to Okou's sides

With this Okou was struck with a pain as he was sent flying away again

When he struggled to stand up Luke was already in front of him and the latter casted another spell

"Loud Stomp!!!"

As he stomp the ground exploded causing Okou to be assaulted by this attack and take in heavily damage

As he crashed down he glared at Luke with both fear and anticipation as he witness the Pinnacle of a Guardian's power

"Truly amazing" muttered Okou
