Rise Of The Dragon Emperor-Chapter 129 The power of Percy Draco
Zimo regained his calm in the battle and started to engage Percy from long range attacks as he throw one light elemental spear after another towards Percy who was forced to counter with blasts of fire while dodging most attacks.
The spears had a great piercing power which made it difficult to neutralize by fire blasts as the superior light element cut through Percy’s fire as if it was paper and swooshed towards his body.
No attacks actually connected as Percy was able to atleast deflect then from their path or dodge with his fire , however he was unable to press further and close in on Zimo .
The fight became a stalemate where the only thing going for Percy was that Zimo was expending his elemental essence at a fast rate , but the match being only 30 minutes long he highly doubted that it would run out before the match timer ended.
Percy needed to do something and do it fast as he needed to deliver a lot of strong attacks on his enemy to knock him out without revealing his true strength..
Desperate , Percy decided to Take a gamble as he shot his flame downwards to leap frog into the air , as he decided to deal with zimo’s attacks on the go.
Mid-Air Percy now had nowhere to maneuver towards , as Zimo shouted ” Idiot ” and shot a light spear heading straight towards his chest.
The audience gasped audibly , Percy had no way to evade the move now , however little did they expect that Percy would pull of this beautiful maneuver to stun the world.
Soon after releasing the first spear , Zimo also attacked a second one as he expected both to connect , however right as the first spear was about to hit Percy he grabbed it mid-air , using the momentum of the spear itself to perform a mid-air shoulder to shoulder turn , as he sent the same incoming spear back towards the second attack used by Zimo as the two spears clashed mid air neutralizing each other leaving an attack path wide open for Percy to crack down on his opponent.
Zimo was stunned he did not expect Percy to grab his spear mid-air However in his shock he was a little too late to manifest the third one as before he could a massive tornado of flames came crashing down on him as Percy’s punch landed squarely on his face.
BAM!
Not only was Percy covered in a whirlpool of flames , the moment he connected his punch he used the whirlpool against him to create a small fire prison around himself and Zimo so that the other party could no longer retreat easily.
Inside the fire whirlpool the temperature was extremely high , but while Percy’s flame tolerance was extraordinary Zimo instantly started to sweat profousely as his skin started to burn from the heat.
Although he was able to match Percy’s strength punch for punch , and even had a slight upper hand , fighting inside the flame prison he was drained of his stamina much faster as only 30 seconds in he started to feel the strength sapping from his muscles as the very air he was breathing became too hot for him to handle .
The whirlpool was sucking out the oxygen by combusting it making the air thinner and thinner every second and harder to breathe , as while percy went into energy saving mode , Zimo who needed to use a big move to get out of the prison started to feel like he could not gather the required strength in his muscles as he felt like he was choking.
Percy took advantage of this situation and increased the heat of the flames and the rotation speed of the prison as his eyes became a complete ball of fire.
As Zimo stared into those fiery eyes unable to breathe at all , he realised that although his opponent had an inferior element the technical application of that element created this unforeseen situation where he had to kneel before him due to not having enough oxygen to support his legs.
Zimo realised quickly as he clutched onto Percy’s body for support that he was not going to be able to win this fight now as percy had trapped him perfectly.
Had he realised the peril he was in sooner he would have bust out of the prison faster , however once the oxygen deprivation kicked in it was impossible for him to win.
It was a good trick that could beat him once as it came out of nowhere , but never would he fall to it twice.
Choosing to passout slowly as he glared into Percy’s fiery eyes with equal passion , the match ended as Zimo passed out on the feet of Percy Draco after suffering multiple skin burns .
When the vortex finally ended and the scene of a passed out Zimo came in the view of the Avalonian crowd , everyone broke out into a mad cheer as team Zimo rushed to check on their contestant.
It was a major upset as Percy defeated the front runner through his excellent battleplan , and while he was utterly exhausted after that match , he managed to achieve his goal of not revealing his true strength and not dropping points either as he solidified his chances to qualify with this win.
The major sect leaders were extremely impressed by Percy’s performance , especially team Zimo whose coach applauded him after the fight and thanked him to not injure Zimo severely.
It was an honorable fight between the two as Percy won fair and square by using his brains and team Zimo had no complaints about how the fight ended.
As Percy came back to his camp for some minor healing and energy replenishment before his next fight , Grandpa Augustus gloated at the greatness of his grandson’s feats of strength.
Leif was extremely proud of Percy for this excellent win , but as he praised Percy , Percy’s mind wandered at the real fight he was drawing closer towards as clutching his fists he thought ‘ Even if you are stronger Ronan , i will come up with a strategy to beat u .
A good battleplan is as important as good preperation ‘.
