Chapter 187 You Can Add Strength Too
Monica slowly got up from the floor and picked up the shield which she had formed with her metal ability.
She pressed both of her hands on the shield as the parts of the shield broke out and covered her hands like a pair of gauntlets.
"You know it's sort of unfair if she's going to be using her speed like that," Henry whispered to Orah.
"Monica can beat her," Orah said.
"How?" Henry asked.
"By using her speed against her."
Monica stepped up with her new pair of gauntlets but she wasn't attacking yet as she wanted to see what Silvia was going to do first.
The wonder warrior sped to the other side in no time and tried to attack Monica from behind but she had expected that as she quickly turned and grabbed her by her arms.
The pain was evident on Silvia's face as Monica squeezed her hand.
Silvia tried to punch her with her other hand but Monica caught that one too and now it was a battle of strength which Monica was clearly winning.
The wonder warrior was slowly falling to her knees but and just as she dropped on her knees an idea came to her mind.
She turned her eyeballs to the right to see the VR headsets Michael had placed on the table.
"You know speed isn't just enough," Monica said as she pressed her down more.
"I know that's why I have telekinesis," Silvia said with a smirk.
"Huh?" Monica said as she made to turn but it was already too late as two VR headsets flew from the table and smacked her on her head.
The impact from the hits was enough to knock her off giving the wonder warrior the freedom to feel her hands again.
"Are those my VR headsets?" Michael asked as he could clearly see the two devices now that they were just floating.
"Sorry," Silvia said as she returned the headsets with her telekinesis.
Monica slowly got up from the floor while holding the part of her head that had been hit by the VR headsets.
"Awwww."
Silvia wasn't going to take any chances now as she sped to her delivering a quick punch down her gut which sent her flying backward.
She didn't stop there as she sped to her again but before she could attack again she heard Monica say something.
"Stop, I surrender," Monica said.
Luis, who had been watching the fight closely like he does with every other fight, was quite surprised to see Monica surrender because she didn't even look hurt after that punch.
'Why didn't she use her fire ability?' Luis thought. 'It's strange how people have abilities and still avoid using them.'
'You do exactly the same thing, Luis, so don't judge them.' Lena said.
'No, I don't avoid using my abilities, I only keep them a secret from people and still use them whenever necessary.' Luis said in his mind as his eyes darted towards Ella.
He could still remember the time he had told her to use her lightning ability against the wolves the first time they had gone to the open land but she had refused for some reason.
"Up next will be Orah Smith versus Ella Jones," Michael said as his eyes darted towards Orah, he still had his suspicions about the boy but he hadn't done any real investigation on him yet.
"So what's your ability?" Ella asked immediately after they had stepped up into the middle.
Orah thought about what to say for a while and decided to be honest since there were humans who had fire ability.
"Fire," Orah said. "What about you?"
"Enhancement," Ella said.
"Enhancement?"
"Yeah, it helps me to enhance any part of my body and make it better at what it does."
"Oh," Orah said.
"Here goes nothing," Ella said as she quickly ran towards Orah.
The young demon was calm as Ella approached him but he wasn't so calm after receiving the first blow, sure he had managed to block it but he didn't expect the punch to be that powerful as it had sent him a few feet back but he was still standing though.
'When she said enhancement, I never expected it to be this good.' Orah thought.
Ella quickly followed him this time attacking with a kick which Orah had avoided by stepping out of the way.
He knew better to avoid her attacks instead of blocking them.
Ella's ability wasn't that advanced yet to allow her to enhance all of her body parts and organs at once, the highest she could do at her stage was two.
Two wasn't much but it was okay for spars like this as she enhanced her ears and then enhanced her hands.
With her ears, she was able to sense Orah's move as she went in for the punch and as soon as he had made the move there she had transferred the enhancements in her hands to her legs.
Just as Orah was stepping to the side, Ella's leg was already there as she sent a kick down his gut and sent him flying a short distance backward before he fell to the ground.
Another downside about Ella's enhancement ability was that it ran out easily and using it like that just to land a kick on Orah had used it up.
She was aware that her enhancement points had been exhausted but that didn't slow her down as she quickly ran toward Orah before he could fully get up.
The young Demon covered his face as she sent a punch toward his face, he expected the impact to break his bones as it was slightly sour from his floor but he was surprised by what he was feeling now.
"That was a lot weaker than your other attacks," Orah said as he looked up at her with a smirk on her. "Let me try."
He sent a punch toward Ella which she blocked by forming an X with her hands but that wasn't enough to stop the punch from pushing her back.
"Damn, that's as strong as my enhanced attacks," Ella said as she flung both of her hands.
Now it was time for Orah to show off some attacks of his own as he rushed toward Ella and used a sliding kick to knock her off her feet.
Ella quickly got up and tried to punch him but he caught her hand, she tried to use the other one and he caught it too.
"How about a little flight?" Orah asked with a smile.
"Huh?"
Just a push was all that was needed to send Ella flying across the room heading for the wall.
There were gasps in the room as everyone just couldn't comprehend the strength behind that push well everyone except Luis.
Nobody noticed but twines had quickly piled up on the wall at the moment Ella was about to hit it and immediately after she had landed her head on them they had disappeared.
"No," Orah said as he quickly rushed to her.
"Ella," He called as he shook her face.
A little cough was heard as Ella slowly opened her eyes.
"I thought you said your ability was fire?" She said with a weak voice.
"I guess you can add strength too," Orah said with a smile as he offered her a hand up.
She took the hand with a smile as he helped her up and hung her hand around his shoulder.
