The Crystals - 52 My instinct told me

“Let’s see you stop me,” said Zohaifa and got outside immediately. Mr. Sutton wanted to stop him but he was well aware of how powerful Zohaifa was. So, he did not bother. But as Zohaifa got out, to his surprise he found a crowd of people surrounding Oar’s house.

“Express gratitude later,” said Red-1 while smiling, “I informed them.”

“Thanks, bro,” said Zohaifa while smiling back. Then, he shifted his attention to the audience. “What do you think? Should we all strive together? Should we strive to make a new history? You have my and Oar’s support this time.”

The crowd responded in the following way.

“We are not sure about this.”

“No, there will be mass murder.”

“I don’t think this is justice but since the elders agreed to this then I will agree. They are wiser than us after all.”

Getting pissed off, Zohaifa shouted, “To hell with you guys! You are all just overly obedient uncourageous superstitious nonsense believing people, for whom I will just do everything myself and guess what, if I die, years later, you guys are gonna be telling your children about how noble I was, hoping that there will be no one sensible enough to ask what you guys were doing then. Forget you all! I will just disrespectfully show you my caustic love. Come on Oar.”

“I already told you. I am not sure about this,” said Oar as he started to sense Lava Gladiator coming. Zohaifa turned his face towards that direction too sensing the presence. Without facing Oar, he said, “How disgusting!”

He then went off to face the Lava Gladiator alone.

“I hope I can do this alone,” said Zohaifa as he gulped in nervousness.

Zohaifa stood in the ground where he had his first fight with Oar.

“He is coming from this way I suppose,” said Zohaifa.

“Those were some long lines you threw at the villagers,” said chilled Red-1 to stressed Zohaifa.

“Let me concentrate on this,” replied Zohaifa in a serious tone.

“Why are you doing this for people who don’t even care about you?”

“I remember a story from my father that there was a prophet named Muhammad. He faced a situation where people were throwing stones at him. But he did not hate them. He felt pity that they did not understand and prayed that our God, Allah, guides them. I am trying to bring that ideal in my life.”

“What a good emotional response! But can you defeat him though?”

“I guess I will try.”

“I can sense some confidence in your tone. But such unevidenced confidence will bring you doom someday. ”

Zohaifa kept quiet as he sensed the Lava Gladiator coming. A sweat arising from Zohaifa’s forehead rolled down through his cheeks as he concentrated on Lava Gladiator’s presence entering the orange tornado. Lava Gladiator entered the village as Zohaifa clenched his fist and slowly widened his legs to take his stance.

“So, you are alive?” asked the Lava Gladiator with a bit of surprise.

“You are a careless fighter. You should have made sure of your opponent’s condition after defeating them.”

With a wide evil teeth-showing smile he spoke, “Guess my instinct told me it would be interesting or simply I never needed it. And talking about a careless fighter, wasn’t it careless for you to face me head-on again? You should’ve taken cover and made secret attacks.”

Zohaifa gave a wide smile too. “Guess my instinct told me it would be interesting or I simply never needed it.”

With a frown, Lava gladiator started the fight trying to run towards Zohaifa. Zohaifa simply walked towards him. He threw a heavy punch at Zohaifa but Zohaifa twisted his hips to move himself to the outside of his punch. Zohaifa punched him in the ribs. Though it did not damage him, Zohaifa grinned at him with an annoying vibe.

“How dare you?” shouted Lava Gladiator as he swung his hands backward to Zohaifa. Zohaifa used ‘Lightning Velocity’ to go to the other side of his enemy. Lava Gladiator tried to faced Zohaifa swiftly to not let him out of sight, but only to be welcomed with a punch from the same direction.

Zohaifa dashed in front of him again. Lava Gladiator no longer has any idea about where Zohaifa’s position. He randomly swung his punches and got countered almost every time.

“How are you winning against me?” shouted Lava Gladiator in frustration.
