While stuck to Vitas horns, Heracles kicked Vita in the snout. Yet Vita was unfazed and picked him up. He tried to break free, but Vita was a step ahead. With enough force to crack the ground, Heracles was thrown.Yet he was still smiling with no blood seen anywhere.

The crowd was loving the fight. This kind of violence was something everyone loved. Only the guards and the teachers were a bit worried about their fight. After all, they would have to deal with these brutes.

Vita charged forwards once more, spinning and then sending most of the vines out like a wall of spikes. Heracles moved the rocks on his skin to cover his arms and belly. The hit sent him flying once more and this time he spun and used his arms to grab onto the arena, tearing up more of it. The rocks that appaered moved and covered more of his body like armor.

He threw a shard of rock at Vita, yet all it did was to make the slightest of cracks in Vitas exoskeleton. Even then it was fixed in the blink of an eye. Yet Heracles smile didnt go away. Using his hands, he launched himself at Vita with tremendous speed. The impact send Vita sliding backwards on its hooves. With a frontflip that would seem impossible, Vita tried to stomp Heracles back. He managed to dodge it by jumping to the side. The stomp created a large crater, sending chunks of it everywhere.

A faint yellow shield protected the audience from any debri that was sent their way. Hans hand was raised up and was glowing in a similar color. And with the other, he gave Odin a few more coins with a frown.

The large amount of rock that was near Heracles stopped moving in the air and flew slowly to him. He was, by this point, nearly completely covered in rocks. Only small parts of his body and face werent covered.

"Haha, Vita! I told you I was just warming up!" Heracles squatted down with his legs spread. He then raised one of his legs high, creating a vertical line from one foot to the other, before slamming it down into the ground with all of his might! The second crater was made that day, but there werent any debri this time flying around.

The large pieces of rock all fell around and onto Heracles body. The audience were holding their breath while looking at this scene. Only Odin seemed to know what was going on.

An egg? No no, its a ball. But whats the difference between an egg or a ball if they both allow you to transform? But what would my transformation look like? A ball and an egg doesnt sound too bad, but they arent cool... Oh Heracles is finally done with whatever he was doing.

The ball started to move, slowly revealing what was going on inside.

Heracles, now at the same height as Vita, stood tall with four arms! The spots where his eyes would have been were glowing with a golden light and the same golden light was leaking out from the few cracks in Heracles rocky body. The four arms on his body flexed.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Now, its shameful of me to say this, but I can only keep this form up for a short time. But lets but our hearts into it and fight like the gods are cheering us on!" He ran towards Vita with all four arms, ready to attack.

Vita, ever quick to react, formed an extra pair of arms to compete with Heracles. The first hit this time around created a massive blast of sound and so did the second hit, third hit and so on. They picked up speed, continuing to attack each other. The blasts of noise blurred together, forming a single loud noise of pure power.

Everyone watching, especially some of the more muscular men in the audience, were awestruck. They, for some reason, felt a primal emotion deep in their hearts. Instead of cheering, some of the men started to stand up and shout. Even an overweight noble with balding blonde hair tried standing up with a red face.

"GO, HERACLES! KICK HIS ASS!".

"VITA, YOU BETTER WIN THIS! SHOW THEM WHO IS THE STRONGEST!" The loud men shouted. There were even some muscular women shouting with them too. Its almost like they have forgotten that this is a tournament for teens (hehe).

Heracles must have heard them, because he started to attack even faster than before and shouting with them. Slowly, Vita started to slide backwards.

Uogh? Oyoyoyoyo! Im sliding! What the hell!? Damn it, I should have changed these hooves for something with more friction if I knew this was going to happen!

Heracles was grinning inside of the rocky armor, but was immediatly suprised by what was happening to Vitas feet. Bones shot out from Vitas legs and pierced into what remained of the arena. Vita had finally stopped sliding and could finally start punching back. The knuckles on Vitas main hands and on the hands made out of vines were bruised and ruined, while Heracles was slowly losing rocks.

Defending and attacking at the same time, the one who got hit first was Heracles! Although the hit landed and left as quick as lighting, it was still a hit. Odin was the one frowning this time and Hans eyes were starting to shine with the light of shining coins.

And another hit! This time someone in the crowd noticed it.

"H-Heracles got hit! Oh no he got hit again!" The spaces between each hit got shorter and shorter. The people who had cheered on Heracles, and betted on him, tried to cheer him on. Yet he was the one who had started to slide backwards, little by little with each hit.

Ah, I'll make sure to give you a dramatic finish! Take my super punch!

As sudden as the bones that shot out from Vitas, all of the vines gathered into one massive fist! Heracles, who was caught offguard was in shook by the sudden change.

"Peashooter Mega!" The fist, that was easily a meter wide, hit Heracles right in the chest. The hit was strong enough to send Heracles actual body flying out of the rocky one.

The world seemed to slow down to a stop as Heracles hit the wall underneath under the audience. Everything was quiet as everyone watched with their mouths open. The first one to react however wasnt the announcer, the three teachers or any of the guards. It was the fat balding man, who had finally managed to stand up on his own.

"VITA HAS WON!" He shouted with a powerful voice and his fat vibrating with power.
