The Clash of Kings match was a spectacle that everyone felt they had to see. The hype for the match had been building up for a long time, and it had reached its peak to the point where people thought it wouldn’t live up to its reputation. How could it, after what they had seen in the last match against Jayden Tiger? Harvor had been knocked down for the first time, and beyond that, Jayden was even using elemental attacks. Although what Jayden had done was illegal, it created an even bigger spectacle than they had thought due to just how much it appeared that Harvor was on the back foot. In the end, though, the match was won. In this case, in the Clash of Kings, there was one person coming out on top, and it wasn’t the King they were used to. Gary was fast, he was powerful and strong in his transformed state, and he had pinned Harvor in ways they hadn’t seen before. His body was crashing into the canvas as it had been struck by Gary, and Harvor looked around at the crowd, listening to each and every one of their words, talking about how they believed he might really lose this fight. "Me, Harvor Ego, lose? Me, the King of the ring, the Champion? That will never happen." As Harvor lay there on the ground, energy could be felt swirling through his body. Just on the side of his face, a few small golden scales started to appear, and the same was happening on his forearm as well. It had only covered it ever so slightly, but due to the color, it was quite noticeable. At the same time, around Harvor’s irises, there was a golden glow. Gary jumped up into the air, gaining momentum, and then, with both of his claws, dived right down the center, ready to give as much damage as he possibly could to Harvor. He crashed onto the canvas, and the floor sunk deep in as well as the side of the gates bending slightly. The crowd was starting to worry slightly for their safety with how strong the attacks were. Even if the cage was reinforced with the strongest materials specially designed for Altered, it was quite clear that it couldn’t really contain the two of them. Gary didn’t need to look at his hands when he smashed them on the floor. He already knew that he had missed Harvor; he could feel that he had hit nothing. As for the crowd, they could see Harvor standing by Gary’s side. "Ladies and gentlemen, are we seeing this right? Are we really seeing it?" the announcer shouted. "For the first time in AFC history, are we seeing Harvor’s transformed Altered state?" The crowd was looking closely, still trying to guess what Harvor was. They could notice the small golden scales appearing, but there was nothing else. Explore more at empire Gary, from his position, quickly spun his body with his leg, trying to hit with a back kick. Harvor lifted his hand, blocking it with his forearm’s hard scales. Quickly pulling his leg away, Gary then continued the spinning motion and went to swing with his claws, striking at Harvor’s arm. Still, Harvor was able to block the hit. Gary’s sharp claws, even with his strength and speed, were unable to cut through Harvor’s skin. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 Then there was only one thing left that Gary could do. [Lethal Pounce] Jumping to the side, Gary used the skill that instantly made him move in multiple directions and then headed straight for Harvor. It was what he had been using to get Harvor by surprise this entire time. At that moment, a strike landed right at his side, yet it never ended up hitting Harvor. He had stopped it, grabbing onto Gary’s fist. Harvor had skidded back a few steps, and his golden eyes were glowing. "Grit your teeth, boy!" Harvor said as he landed a punch, hitting Gary square in the face. The hit shook the entire arena as it hit Gary cleanly. The edge of the cage was shaking, and Gary was sent back. He used his claws on his feet to skid himself across the floor, but Harvor was already on him right next to him. With a leg, Harvor kicked Gary in the stomach, sending him up into the air. [198/500 HP] ’This isn’t good…I’ve lost so much HP from those hits already. This isn’t like last time. He’s not transformed into his hybrid state, where he had wings and the golden scales were over his body. He’s only using a bit of his power.’ The last time Harvor had transformed into his partial state, Gary had suffered a loss in the fight with a single hit, and although it wasn’t a single hit this time, Harvor hadn’t even fully transformed. There was only one thing Gary could do. [Full Transformation] "I said, grit your fucking teeth!" Harvor had jumped above Gary and swung his hand down, his eyes glowing gold once more. Instantly, Gary was sent straight to the canvas, breaking right through the flooring and going further underneath into the ground. The crowd couldn’t even see Gary anymore as he wasn’t even in the cage. Harvor landed on the ground and looked down at the ground, seeing a broken sharp tooth on the floor. The crowd was quiet, with a few mumbling words. The change had happened so fast. It had swung in one person’s way and now instantly had swung in the other. How was this even possible? How could this have happened? "GARY!" The crowd turned as they heard shouting and noticed it was the blonde-headed man again. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Kai shouted as spit came out of his mouth. "THEY GOT HER, THEY GOT XIN! So stop messing around, and climb out of that fucking hole! Or we’ll all come on the stage and drag you out of hell itself!" Looking at the hole that had been torn into the canvas floor, a clawed hand reached out, holding onto the edge.
