PART 4 THE SEMIFINALS AND THE FINAL

After having passed the qualifiers, those who had emerged victorious were classified for the finals, but the directors of the other academies were surprised to learn that Star Linoxis was placed in the finals with such a low rank, to which they asked for explanations from the Director Lux, but he refused to give them any explanation, which made the other directors furious, but without saying anything else, each one went to cheer on their respective representatives, who will fight in double battles, while the Directors prepare to his teams, Director Lux is between anguished and scared because he may lose the bet he had made with Linoxis, but he remembered that his rivals were not easy at all, even if he had Liz on his side, it would be too complicated against the Western Academy (which was his next opponent), but he was still afraid of losing the bet.

Meanwhile in the back of the stadium Linoxis prepares for his combat, after having used so much the skill "Demonic Presence" he had managed to perfect it even more in addition to becoming familiar with it causing his enemies to surrender as soon as he activated it, but it seemed to him very bored then he decided that the next fight he would use his strength and other tricks with magic although he was beginning to feel sleepy (he began to train his physical condition in an extreme way and to improve his manipulation of the elements, with his "magic" he would raise rocks of great size and put them on his back while doing push-ups, which caused physical and mental stress, but the difficult thing was to keep his energy stable, using too much energy caused his abilities to get out of control which caused a small explosion in the area where he was, more than once he caused that explosion because of his curiosity to know how far he can go), as time passed he heard a s bells coming from the stadium hinting that they would soon begin, Linoxis quickly made his way to the stadium, and the first thing he heard was Masao, informing that the next meeting would be between the North Academy and the West Academy.

Masao: AFTER THE MEETING WITH THE NORTH AND WEST ACADEMIES, THE SOUTH AND EAST ACADEMIES WILL FOLLOW, THE WINNING ACADEMIES WILL FIGHT INDIVIDUALLY AND DEPENDING ON THE COMBATS IT WILL BE DECIDED THAT YOU WILL WIN, OR IF THERE WILL BE A DISAPPEARANCE, THERE WILL BE A DISAPPEARANCE! AS MUCH AS I!.

At the end of giving the information, all those in the stadium returned to their places, and the fighters returned to their combat positions, after 30 long minutes the match finally begins.

Masao: FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE STADIUM YOU WILL FIND THE NORTHERN ACADEMY, WITH ITS FIGHTERS, LINOXIS ESTELAR THE NIGHTMARE FIGHTER (they say so at your request), AND LIZ THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AND FROM THE WEST SIDE THE ACADEMY OF THE NIGHTMARE! WEST, WITH ITS REPRESENTATIVES, GRANDETH, ALSO KNOWN AS THE MASTER OF THE DARKNESS, AND LIRIAN THE QUEEN OF THE SEAS, WE HOPE THAT THIS MEETING WILL BE AS OR MORE EXCITING AS THE OTHERS !.

After saying the names of the peelers, the masters find themselves looking at each other, Liz looks at Liria and she is also looking at her, while Linoxis looks at the stadium floor when she looks up she sees that Grandeth was looking at him threateningly, he thought of returning her face. look but decided to see the ground again which seemed strange to him, he saw it more wet? After a few seconds the water clock made a presence starting from number 10 and slowly going backwards.

Masao: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.

When the clock disappeared, those of the western academy began to slowly approach where their rivals were, while Linoxis continued to see the ground, but Liz was also advancing slowly, the closer they got the more a great dark aura coming from Grandeth was noticeable , Liz knew that he was going to cause her a problem as his magic rivaled hers, while Linoxis was sitting a bit far from where they were heading, the more he watched the more he fell asleep, when Lirian realized this He became enraged and ran to where Linoxis, from the ground a brown liquid began to come out, which came from everywhere where there was dirt on the stadium grounds, he deformed it so that it became sharp and shot it against Linoxis, which He had fallen asleep completely, when the water approached, it evaporated before arriving a meter away from him and the closer he got to Linoxis the more the water evaporated. water until it was completely evaporated, he was still completely asleep, while Lirian still confused was looking for a way to hurt him with her water spears, even if it was useless.

While with Liz and Grandeth, who were face to face they began a battle of blows which hurt the opponent but also the one who gave them, although Liz could heal, Grandeth seemed to get stronger the more blows he gave and received, to a point where With a blow he made Liz go back, with his injured hand, Liz tried to heal himself but he did not have time and began to shoot black bullets which formed in the shadows that were behind him, Liz tried to dodge them but they increased his speed more , to the point that she could hardly see them, one of the bullets hit her and managed to wound her leg which prevented her from running, it also made her fall to the ground and when she hit the wet earth she gave a scream of completely inaudible pain, but after giving the cry, Linoxis "woke up" and went instantly to where Liz was, causing the bullets to collide with him, but seemed that did not affect him, he knelt in front of Liz and held out her hand, which she accepted, Linoxis helped her to stand up and also healed her completely, for which she thanked him.

Linoxis: No problem Liz, but if you want to thank me, leave me these two, I have unfinished business with them (with a macabre look)

Liz could only nod at that look, he believed that if he said something it might not end very well, when Linoxis saw Liz nod he turned his back and from his body an immense aura of darkness began to surround him, Grandeth was still amazed at how the bullets simply disappeared on impact with his skin, Lirian was considering the option of surrender, but when both had come to if Linoxis was in the center of the stadium completely covered by a black aura like night, from one moment to another the day turned dark The sun had lost its brightness and the stadium was completely dark, only the representatives of the academies could be seen in the center, Grandeth did not stay still and began to use the darkness to his advantage but it was difficult for him to control, and when could manipulate it, it was revealed to him as if it had life, Linoxis in the center used the darkness to trap Grandeth and Lirian, and threw them both to the wall, causing an extreme impact. or that it almost made them fall unconscious, but they managed to stand up. Linoxis, upon seeing such an act, said in a macabre and dark voice.

Linoxis: I SUGGEST YOU GIVE UP, THE NEXT ATTACK WILL NOT BE SO SMOOTH.

When Grandeth and Lirian heard that they decided to surrender almost instantly, which caused the darkness to dissipate as if nothing had happened and Linoxis with an innocent face and a small smile, headed for the exit, while everyone who witnessed the act was completely left. scared, what they did not know is that everything had been an illusion caused by Linoxis, which made them hallucinate themselves and with the element of earth he caught them and threw them towards the wall, but they had seen it in a terrifying way while the The rest of the people saw what had really happened and had been surprised by such power that Linoxis possessed.

At the end of the fight, Linoxis transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the stadium and appeared behind Lux, and with a soft voice he said.

Linoxis: remember the bet, don't flinch now.

Hearing those words, Lux turned around quickly but Linoxis had already retired, Lux was trembling for fear of what that child could do, regretting the bet, and decided to return to his seat where he was witnessing the fight in a very worried way. , which made the other Directors worry since they had not seen Linoxis and believed that he had been terrified by the combat, so they all returned to their normal attitudes.

After the combat ended, the eastern and southern academies faced each other in a resounding defeat by the eastern academy, with the southern academy as the winner.

Masao: GOOD AT LAST, AFTER SO GREAT COMBATS, THE DECISIVE MOMENT OF THE EVENT ARRIVED, THE NORTH ACADEMY VS THE SOUTH ACADEMY, WHO WILL WIN, WHO WILL TAKE THE FIRST PLACE IN THIS EVENT, BY THE WAY DUE TO THE SUGGESTIONS DIRECTORS THE LAST BATTLE WILL ALSO BE DOUBLE, AFTER THE WINNING GROUP WILL FACE EACH OTHER TO DECIDE TO THE STRONGEST, OF COURSE ALL THAT AND MUCH MORE AFTER THIS PAUSE!

At the end of the combat of the southern and eastern academy, the participants were given a break so that they could devise a plan for the next fight, while the southern team devised a plan to contain the nightmares of Linoxis, since they believed which was his strongest ability, meanwhile Linoxis was lying under the shade of a tree next to the stadium, but his tranquility was interrupted by a certain queen of heaven.

Liz: and good?

Linoxis: well what?

Liz: When were you going to tell me about your "amazing" abilities?

Linoxis: I didn't know about these "abilities" either, until recently I was able to "wake them up" (lied)

Liz: and how did you discover it?

Linoxis: ...... if you manage to beat the lady of the flames alone, I'll tell you, do you think?

Liz: good, but could you at least tell me why did you decide to participate?

Linoxis: if I hadn't done it, the director would have expelled me, so I had to go in forced, you could say.

Liz: ..... he wouldn't be capable of something like that

Linoxis: believe me or not is your decision I only answer ....... it seems that they are going to start it will be better to go

and prepare.

Liz: but we don't have a strategy yet.

Linoxis: take care of the lady of the flames and leave me the king of beasts :).

Liz (-_-) is fine.

As Linoxis and Liz headed to the stadium, those from the southern academy prepared for their next match.

Nia: Well Krain, you know the strategy, right?

Krain: calm Nia if I know it to the right and the other way around.

Nia: you better if we wouldn't have problems dealing with those nightmares, well let's go to combat we don't want to

make our rivals wait.

After the rest time was over, the two sides were already in their places, ready for the confrontation.

Masao: WELL IT'S TIME FOR THE GRAND FINAL, THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE NORTH ACADEMY, WITH

LINOXIS THE KING OF NIGHTMARES AND IRIS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, AGAINST THE SOUTH ACADEMY AND ITS STUDENTS, NIA THE LADY OF THE FLAMES AND KRAIN THE KING OF THE BEASTS, THE UNIVERSAL DUO, THIS BATTLE PROMISES, BUT GOOD ENOUGH OF PRESENTATIONS IT IS TIME FOR THE FIGHT, GREAT FUTURE WIZARDS OF TOMORROW !, .......... !!!! THE MASSACRE BEGINS! ¡¡¡

Linoxis: well I'll get this over with quickly.

Everyone present was puzzled upon hearing Linoxis's words, it was the first time that he had shown an aggressive attitude against his rivals, but when trying to use his ability on Krain and Nia, they did not seem to have been affected by Linoxis's ability which puzzled overly.

Linoxis: I see that you have taken measures for my ability.

Krain: of course we are not so stupid.

Nia: say that for me, if it were for you we would have already lost, but hey enough of the dialogues, it's time FOR THE KILL!

Nia began to raise her hands at the same time as the earth, she began to fracture and levitate, Linoxis and Liz remained removed while the earth where they were standing began to levitate and fracture at her feet.

Linoxis: well it seems that you will have to face Nia, I wish you luck Liz, if you need help tell me.Linoxis made small leaps being propelled by the earth that surrounded them and went straight for Krain.

Krain: Well Nia, I'll take care of the big fish, you take care of the sardine.

Nia: I never liked your strange references but hey, don't trust yourself.Krain shot out with a powerful jump in the direction of Linoxis, and being close to him he decided to use his ability and immobilize him with the presence of the most lethal beasts he met, in order to give him a left hook with all his strength in the jaw of Linoxis , but when he was face to face with him, he dodged the blow by a few millimeters, causing Krain to go back and deactivate his ability, when he deactivated his ability everyone was surprised since they had not seen any of his movements due to his speed while trying to hit Linoxis.

Krain: I see that not only your nightmares are the only thing afraid of you Linoxis.

Linoxis: I thought you were the king of beasts but it seems that you have more skills, no, so why don't you come with everything at once.

Krain: That was the idea but now I will have to change the plan a bit.

Krain began to leap around Linoxis at a speed almost imperceptible to the human eye.

While on the other side of the stadium there was a fierce battle between Liz and Nia, which on both sides seemed even.

Nia: It seems that you are not only a pretty face.

Liz: and you're not just a hot piece of meat.

Nia: (angry) I better take this seriously.

Nia began to be covered by a distorted mass in which it seemed that his body was beginning to fracture.

Liz did not delay in trying to strike but when she reached it, her fist went through Nia's body.

Liz: "tsk" it seems that you had more skills but luckily I too so I will have to get serious too.

Liz's body began to have a bright aura and a large amount of light could be seen reflected on her body.

Liz: I didn't want to use this if not until the end but you don't leave me a choice.

Nia: wow, I didn't know you were hiding so much power, it seems that you wanted to surprise your partner the moment you face him, but hey, it's time to end this.

They both approached each other with fearful speed and collided their fists, which caused the surrounding pieces of earth to part and the spectators to pay full attention to their fight and ignore the fight between Linoxis and Krain, which had been put on. bored because Linoxis had sat in the middle of the circle that Krain was running around her.

Liz and Nia were giving a series of blows which when colliding with the opposite caused a great shock wave that left the stadium more and more destroyed, Liz's blows were focused on hitting Nia's vital points, while she tried to hit. to destabilize Liz's body.

The battle is very even but from one moment to another Nia's fists began to have a reddish color and they also began to be more powerful at the time of impact, which caused Liz great pain since one of these blows had hit in the stomach, after that blow began a brutal one-sided beating which significantly damaged Liz's body, to the point that her wounds began to bleed and every once in a while she vomited a little blood, the light that surrounded her flickered. began to turn off causing the blows to be more powerful and faster.

Nia: ha and I who thought you were a worthy rival but in the end you are just a pretty face, what are you going to do now, call my "brother" to defend you.

But from the shadows a somewhat distorted figure appears and stands behind Nia, and in an almost imperceptible voice she tells him.

¿?: "Little sister" do not cause me to regret having saved you.

At the moment of saying that, Nia jumped in surprise because she had not noticed the presence of Linoxis if not until he spoke.

Nia: Krain weren't supposed to keep him busy!

She said that while she turned in the direction of where Krain was with the surprise that there were two Linoxis one being the one behind her and the other one being with Krain.

Nia: damn you can also multiply miserable !.

Linoxis: I think the answer is pretty obvious don't you think, my dear.

Nia: KRAIN LEAVE THAT LINOXIS AND COME HELP ME.

After saying this Krain leaves the Linoxis and joins Nia, while the other Linoxis who was being distracted by Krain disappears in a cloud of dust, and the other begins to heal Liz's wounds, at the same time raising his hand. to form a great barrier of earth around Nia and Krain, which leaves them locked in, and they try to destroy it from within.

Linoxis: it seems that you could not against them right?

Liz: shut up I have too much so your sister has beaten me up.

Linoxis: at first she is not my sister, and at second it seems that I will have to end this, I am already starting to get bored and I am hungry.

Linoxis leaves Liz lying gently on the ground while her wounds heal and she goes to where was the great wall of earth which was beginning to fall from the impacts that were giving her from within.

Linoxis: well guys looks like I'll have to end this.

Linoxis dissolves the great wall and manages to see Nia covered in a strange distorted mass of fire and Krain with giant claws and imposing fangs.

Krain / Nai: UNFORTUNATE NOW YOU WILL SEE

Linoxis: wow, they are synchronized right? :).

Krain is about to jump on Linoxis's back while Nia is in front of him preparing his series of blows which he began to throw fiercely against Linoxis, at the same time that Krain threw strong scratches which when hitting the ground caused a hole deep in it.

But as they both launched their attacks, Linoxis managed to dodge each one as if they were no big deal, at the same time that he seemed to fall asleep

Linoxis: well it seems that it is all they can do it will be better that I finish with this .....

Before Linoxis finished, Nia had stabbed him with a powerful fist that went right through the place where her heart was, causing Linoxis to fall backwards to the floor.

Nia: FINALLY UNFORTUNATE, NOW YOU CAN ROT IN HELL.

¿?: I would not be so sure of that

Nia and Krain quickly turned to see where the big voice was coming from. It was their surprise to see a Linoxis totally unharmed and sitting on the ground as if nothing had happened, at the same time the Linoxis with the wound was vanishing like dust.

Krain: UNFORTUNATE.

Linoxis: well this took too long, it seems that I can not control their dreams so I will have to scare them in real life.

He said while a sinister smile formed on his face which made the entire stadium and the directors tremble as they went to witness what made his previous rivals fall asleep.

Linoxis: well, let the massacre begin DEMONIC PRESENCE!

Suddenly the entire stadium had turned completely black the lights did not work the sky from clear blue to blood red, and the clouds from white to a deep black, in the Linoxis stadium it remained motionless while everyone present was leaving through the door from fear, and from the shadow of this a figure began to grow which for kilometers could be distinguished as a demon by its horns and red eyes like blood, the demon became bigger and bigger to the point that only its head could fit In the stadium, everyone present believed that it was only an illusion that calmed them at least a little, but the demon stopped growing and at the same time the entire stadium began to transform into a gigantic red sphere which in the middle they had Linoxis with Nia and Krain, who could not believe what they were seeing, the demon with the naked eye could see the hatred, pain, anger and suffering in his eyes and shortly after the sphere was formed it began to breathe fire d e their nostrils, which caused that Nia and Krain had to defend themselves from such a great heat wave which almost cost them the fight, after that great show of power, Linoxis began to raise his hands and the demon was absorbed for this, which causes the body of Linoxis to change and her hair goes from black to a white which could be seen in the darkest night and her eyes redder than those of the devil and with words that would make the dead rumble and makes the angels fear, he told them.

Linoxis ?: GIVE UP OR PREPARE TO DIE.

He said while he was gradually approaching his rivals who could not with the fear that he caused them, and some of the spectators had fallen unconscious from fear from the beginning while others were convulsing and the few who were still conscious found it difficult to breathe, and the directors could only tremble with fear when imagining a battle against that monster.

Krain: I GIVE UP !!!

He said it with all the fear in his words

Nia: COWARD !!!

I recriminate him furiously

Krain: I am not going to face that monster ... and you should do the same.

Linoxis: LISTEN TO IT NIA, DON'T MAKE ME TO HURT YOU

Nia could only tremble at the idea of him launching an attack in that way since she knew what he was capable of, because she saw in the front row what he did to that demon which ended the lives of her parents, so without more.

Nia: M- I R- I GIVE UP (with fear)

When he said those words, everything had returned to normal as if nothing had happened, the spectators who had fallen unconscious began to regain consciousness and those who convulsed were returning little by little, the others thanked that this torture ended, and while in the In the stadium, everything "returned" to normal except for Linoxis, who still had red eyes and white hair, while smiling in such an innocent way that he looked like a small child who was just looking to have fun.

Linoxis: well it seems that we won Liz, if they look for me I'll go to sleep.

And almost instantly he disappeared from the stadium along with Liz.

Masao: GOOD- GOOD THAT E- IT'S ALL FOR EE- THESE GAMES- GAMES .....

Masao had fallen unconscious from the impact of the fight so it was up to the directors to speak for him.

Directors: GOOD THIS YEAR'S WINNER WOULD BE THE NORTH ACADEMY, WITH ITS LIZ THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND LINOXIS THE ...

Before finishing a role, it fell into the hands of all the directors, which caused even more fear before this new student and in unison they said.

Directors: LINOXIS ESTELAR EL AMO DE LOS UNVERSOS

While in a place far from the surface.

¿?: Well well it seems that we will finally leave this disgusting place, prepare everything, THE APOCALYPSE IS GOING TO ARRIVE.
