Shock is clearly visible on Kenneth's face. Both of them are equal in power, but the force behind his kick is much greater.
While the shock is seen on Kenneth's face, the other party is smirking.
"Hehe, so he can block that. Nice, nice, it looks like today I am going to savor some interesting moments," Hiroto muses, analyzing his opponent.
Then his vision shifts towards the siblings. Seeing them, he makes a disgusted face, as if he is watching some insect.
Suddenly, his cheek starts to bleed.
"You dare to ignore your foe when you are on the battlefield," comes the confident voice containing authority.
"My butler said you are some famous guy in your country, but the situation makes me believe that your country doesn't seem to have a good ranking system."
Listening to Kenneth's words, his face becomes ugly, but he conceals his emotions faster than anyone can notice.
"Hahana, you are a funny one to say that. One who can't even take my full force without stepping back is lecturing me. Don't tell me you are just bark and no bite," utters Hiroto as he focuses his gaze on Kenneth again.
Kenneth has a spear made from electricity in his hand. At a glance, he can confirm that it has the power to scratch even an SSS RANK person. Seeing that, he remembers the words of his butler when he said that the Gracia family has a complete monopoly on attributes related to electricity. And seeing the powerful force behind the spear, he can confirm that it is at least an epic class attribute.
"Well, I too heard that the Sato family has great martial arts, and all their family members learn first-class art. Even their slaves. Am I right, Mr. Hiroto?"
After just the words finished, the whole atmosphere starts to get heavier and hotter. Suddenly, flames start to appear near Hiroto.
The suit he was wearing is all burned, leaving the tight battle suit with the symbol of Sato on his chest.
In a corner,
Seeing that his master is starting to manifest his power in another country and in front of influential people, the butler starts to panic.
"If the elders find this, my life is gone," ponders the butler.
Soon, the same spear like Kenneth's forms in his hand.
"Let's see if your power backs your words or not," as he says those words, he releases the spear.
Seeing that he is provoking him, Kenneth smiles. After all, the other party is a powerhouse from another country, and many political disputes are going to occur soon, which will favor him.
Thinking the dust off his face, Kenneth smiles.
The spear of flame is not as fast as electricity but is more destructive.
The path it passes through, all moisture in the air gets evaporated instantly.
Seeing this, Kenneth coats his body with electricity.
After being boosted with electricity, he releases the spear in his hand, which instantly collides with the spear of flame.
All of this takes place in a fraction of seconds.
The onlookers have no idea who has the upper hand. The only thing they are seeing is blurring images.
Seeing that his flame is useless, Hiroto starts to enclose the distance. When he is just 6 meters apart from Kenneth, he utters the words, 'HELL FIRE PURGATORY CAGE.'
Then suddenly, the flames appear, enclosing both of them.
The flame has a mix of blue and dark colors and encloses the two subjects by forming a 12-diameter radius of space.
From the outside, the flame covers the whole view inside.
None of the content inside can be seen from the outside.
In the inner circle of the flame,
Discomfort can be seen on Kenneth's face.
He doesn't know the full power of the flame enclosing him, and neither does he know the weakness of this.
"Haha, now the dog stops barking," utters Hiroto as he forms a ball of flame, then compresses it, forming a sewing pin-like object.
Seeing the pin disturbing the mystical energy around it, Kenneth knows this is bad news.
Soon, the pin is released from his hand, then, in the next moment, blood can be seen on Kenneth's hand.
The pin was so fast that he didn't react in time and got injured.
After witnessing his attack fail, Hiroto encloses the distance the next instance.
He is frustrated. At first, he thought he would not have any trouble meeting the children. Then he thought he would not have to fight the other party if he showcased his full power. Now he is frustrated because the subject in front of him should be fun and a toy to him, but his most destructive and penetrative attack just missed. Nothing is going according to his wish.
"Damn it, damn it, why the f*ck are you fighting me? Just let me meet those bastards; I will leave then."
At first, he thought he would be able to finish the fight quickly and then leave.
But now, he believes that the fight will be elongated until embassy people reach here.
"This is bad news if the elders find this. I will take a huge backlash."
____**"
Seeing that the power behind the flame is increasing as time goes up, at first, Kenneth thought the other party is increasing his power slowly. But after pondering for a while, he started to doubt and thought that the boost is from the flame walls covering them.
In a single second, they clash many times, forming powerful forces from their collision. The land beneath them is all messed up. It is devoid of any moisture and looks like small meteoroids had fallen here.
By forming a pit, they collide and collide. Kenneth is using his attributes by making arrows and spears from electricity and boosting his physical states.
His attributes help him to boost his physics for a brief moment. But his downside is that he takes more casting time than normal Awakeners when it comes to long-range attacks. So due to this, he has always focused on close clashes.
But the thing is that he is currently losing in close clashes. He is baffled; he thought the other party is more of a caster than a clasher, but he was wrong in both casting and clashing. The other party is way ahead.
Kenneth is barely holding himself up. Wounds can be seen all over his body. His suit is all tattered, and some burn marks are seen on his face and neck.
It's not like the other party didn't get any damage. He got some damage too. His battle suit is tattered, his face has some cuts, and his hand is bleeding.
But seeing the confident face of Hiroto, Kenneth thinks the other party has more cards up his sleeve.
As Kenneth prepares himself, the energy inside the flame starts to fluctuate. After that, the whole wall disappears as if it never existed there.
Kenneth thinks the other party has dispersed the wall for some reason, but seeing the face of the other party, Kenneth knows that some external force made the flame disappear completely.
As he is observing the area, he sees that the whole area covering a radius of 60 meters is turned into a desert. The plain land is now uneven.
His wife and children have already distanced themselves from the area and seem fine, which relieves Kenneth.
"Now, now, gentlemen, don't you think that fighting in this cemetery is rude to the deceased?" comes the sound.
The sound is so authoritative that some people are in awe. The person has a deep voice and ruthless words.
After listening to the words, Kenneth and Hiroto both shift their heads towards the voice.
And both of them have a different reaction. One party is relieved and confused, while the other party is confused and disbelieving.
"What the f*ck? This oldie is doing here," ponders the butler of Hiroto, who is baffled by the appearance of the person.
The same reaction is seen in Hiroto.
"Embassy's people should have come first. Why is this person appearing now?" thinks Hiroto.
