The Valiant Phoenix

The Valiant Phoenix Part 4

"Yo"
The entire crowd was completely taken by surprise as well.

"HE'S ALIVE?!" The spectators screamed in unison

His un-zipped crimson hoodie surprisingly remained untorn. Not only was he alive and kicking but unscathed as well?

"That's impossible...I saw him die right there" "Could it have been a trick?"

"Just look at him, he's got no injuries!"
The scene even shocked the announcer himself.

I-IT SEEMS...OUR CRIMSON HEN IS BACK IN THE MATCH...?"

The minotaur, who had been thrashing out this whole time, finally took notice of the contender who seemingly came back to life. It was then the beast assumed a sort of bull-like stance. This was going to be fun.

"Seems it's my turn" Fentus casually let go of the executioner before he slumped limply on the ground. It charged. Franticly. Fentus, however, remained composed.
Spectators shouted from the crowd.

"That idiot! What's he doing?"

"What, does he plan on dying this time?"

The executioner could do nothing but watch helplessly from behind, for he had not the strength to move. What was the fool planning? At this rate, he'll get them both killed. A sharp pain immediately shot down his side once he made the slightest attempt to move.

'Damn it!' He winced. If only he had more time to recover.
The beast drew nearer. Though, Fentus' attention wasn't on it, but the large sledge hammer it left lying on the ground. It was then he sealed his eyes before assuming position, drawing back both arms as if holding an invisible sword.

'Remember what gramps said' He thought as he began to visualize. 'Believe it...'

After registering the image of the sledge hammer into his mind, Fentus visualized in full detail, the same
weapon being held into his palms. 'Conceive it...'

He imagined himself grasping the sledge hammer, strong, timbered and ready to swing. The beast was only a few feet away. The executioner shut his eyes, preparing himself for a brutal punishment.

"Get out of the way!"

It was at that moment, everything played out in slow-motion.

Fentus stood patiently. At that second, the beasts' palm had already entered their radius. Cadmium- yellow eyes snapped open.
'...Unleash it!'

With full force, Fentus swung fiercely, as a flaming sledge hammer literally erupted into existence, twice the size of that of the original. With perfect timing, it collided against the minotaur's jaw with a resounding pound.THUD!The beast laid limp on the ground.
