"When did she do that," said Drazel.

"well he said when he was training with them she was able to turn into a shield and one that can bounce magical attacks back," said Cyrus.

"man he just keeps coming out with new things that makes my stuff look like a joke," said Judas.

"damn what was that," said Rize.

"I call it Calm Breeze," said John.

"and I thought I had cool attacks but it takes more than that to take me down," said Rize.

"of course, we are just getting started," said John who goes for a stabbing attack at a high speed since he floating. Rize then slashes at Kusanagi with Excalibur and delivers a roundhouse kick to the side of John's head with his right leg. John then goes for a left punch but Rize then jumps up and grabs his head with his legs and flips him to the ground. John then gets up and goes for a couple of slashes. Rize then pins around and gives John a back elbow with his right to John's nose which starts bleeding out. John fixes his nose.

The Crowd starts to clap in amazement. They then jump back from each other.

"damn you're too good and your hand-to-hand has improved," said Rize.

"well I have to say your swordplay has improved a lot since last year," said John.

"well at least I'm having fun here," said Rize with a smile.

In the VIP Booth.

"they're so evenly matched they keep countering each other," said Lizius.

"man these two are the strongest in our guild," said Judas.

"all right then but I fear fighting close combat won't do it. let's go with our best attacks at full power," said John.

"fine by me. Change Ragnarok!" yelled Rize. Ragnarok starts to change into her Sword form. Rize then swaps The Demon Sword for Ragnarok.

They both then fire their blast at each other and they both collided fighting for control until a white light engulfed both of them and them in a huge explosion. When the dust cleared they were both standing with their clothes ripped and torn off but their pants. Bruises and marks appeared. The ground around them looked destroyed They both drop their weapons and then they both fell to the ground. A nearby referee starts to count to ten which he counts to ten.
