In the midst of the arena, Loki's revelation about obtaining a rare siren made Gabriel uneasy. Loki, reveling in his newfound acquisition, approached Gabriel and sneered, "I like what you did with the weapon. but There are many surprises awaiting you in the upcoming rounds, Gabriel. Brace yourself." The weight of Loki's words hung in the air, leaving Gabriel visibly worried.
Seeking reassurance, Gabriel turned to Michael, his elder brother. Observing Gabriel's concern, Michael assured him, "As long as I am present here, there will be no sly tricks. Rest assured, Gabriel." The relaxed tone of Michael eased Gabriel's anxiety, and he found solace in the presence of his elder brother.
The overseer signaled the commencement of the second battle. Anabel, known as the daughter of fire, entered the arena with her whip, which started to envelop itself in flames. Sith, proficient in the usage of sound, stood poised for the confrontation. As the battle began, Anabel rushed toward Sith, attempting to whip her, but the siren, agile as aquatic creatures, effortlessly evaded the attack. Sith, in response, started to hum a tune, pouring energy into sound waves that created a force field around her, trapping Anabel at a distance.
A stalemate ensued as neither managed to land a hit on the other. Realizing the futility of being on the ground, Anabel took flight. Rotating her whip with incredible speed, she created a fiery cyclone. The clash between fire and sound waves resulted in a negation, allowing Ana to land on the ground and launch an attack against Sith.
Sith, undeterred, released a shuddering tone amplified with energy, dealing a substantial blow to Anabel. She faltered and fell to the ground which caused concern among the spectators. However, before Sith could continue her assault, Anabel cleverly evaded her sight, surrounding Sith with spewing fire from all sides, rendering the siren unable to see anything unfolding around her. The spectators watched in suspense as the battle between the daughter of fire and the siren continued to unfold in a dazzling display of elemental prowess.
As the intense battle unfolded in the arena, Em turned to Nova and asked, "Who do you think will win?" Nova, thoughtful, replied, "As long as the battle maintains this sequence, Ana will win. But if Sith has any hidden moves, the scales may be tilted." Em, reassured, responded, "This time, Lord Gabriel has covered every variable and prepared the knights to face anything, just like the last fight. There is no doubt Ana will win this battle."
Nova remained silent, hearing the confidence in Em's words. Meanwhile, on the arena floor, Ana summoned a fiery spirit, and together they launched an assault on Sith. Without a moment to relax, Sith adeptly dodged the incoming fireballs. In response, Sith summoned a silver flute with a sapphire jewel embedded on its end.
Pouring her energy into the flute, Sith filled it with power until it hummed and vibrated. Just when everyone thought Ana had the upper hand, Sith began to play the flute. A sweet melody emerged, extinguishing the fire summoned by Ana. Sith then shifted the tune to a low, lullaby-like melody, causing Ana to freeze in place.
Ana subdued and cannot respond to the opponent attacks.
Sith continued playing with a lethal aura, and as the sound waves hit Ana, a thousand cuts appeared on her body, causing her to lose Blood and the energy being drained from her body, as energy left her body ana fell Unconscious.
The spectators watched in awe as Sith's mastery over sound proved to be a formidable force.
Sith, driven by the momentum of her lethal aura, prepared to launch another attack as the sound waves reached Ana. However, the overseer intervened, interrupting the waves and restrained Sith. Falling unconscious in the arena was considered a defeat, and there was no longer any need to continue the battle.
The abrupt halt in the confrontation left the spectators in the arena with changed expressions. The atmosphere shifted from awe to concern, as the consequences of Sith's powerful attack on Ana became apparent. The worried gazes of the onlookers reflected the intensity of the battles and the unpredictability.
Em, watching the events unfold, exchanged a glance with Nova, both contemplating the intricacies of the battles and the impact they could have on El-Kiin's fate. As the arena settled into a momentary stillness, the aftermath of Sith's formidable attack lingered in the air.
the overseer announced the results of the second round with the defeat of Anabel from Gabriel side.
the time took for the battle to finish is 5 minutes and 22 seconds, everything is recorded.
Break is Issued.
During the break in the preparations for the heroic knight fights, Em and Nova encountered Jen outside the arena. Em, concerned about the upcoming battles, inquired about the chances of victory against Lord Loki. Jen, radiating confidence, assured Em that they were well-prepared this time, with Lord Gabriel assembling a formidable team of heroic-grade knights, just a step away from mythical grade.
Curious, Nova asked Em, "Why are you so worried? Even if we lose, the worst that can happen is a drop in the rankings. It's not like our lives are on the line."
Em responded, "The farther we fall in rankings, the Upper Realm will take away the life energy they bestowed upon us. This will lead to a shortage in supplies, and adventurers will relocate to other planets, causing damage to the livelihood of the people on our planet."
Nova, skeptical, didn't believe that losing a rank could have such dire consequences for the planet. However, the gravity of the situation weighed on Em's mind.
As the regular-level fights concluded, the arena transitioned to the heroic-grade knight battles. The next stage took place on a planet called Leyat, situated in Lord Michael's universe. Leyat was a barren planet, devoid of living organisms, covered in sturdy metal that could withstand even the blows from mythical-grade knights.
The overseer, with a wave of his hand, transported the entirety of the arena and the spectators to Leyat. He removed the barriers surrounding the arena, creating a free space arena on the barren planet. The transition set the stage for the heroic-grade knight battles, where the stakes were higher, and the challenges more formidable on the desolate surface of Leyat.
As the participants gathered on the desolate surface of Leyat, the tension between Loki and Gabriel intensified. Both had won and lost a round, making the third round a decisive and critical moment in the cosmic conflict.
The overseer, his voice echoing across the barren landscape, announced the arrival of the third round. The battle between the heroic-grade knights promised to be more dangerous and destructive than the previous rounds, as the cosmic forces clashed on the metallic plains of Leyat.
On one side stood Alexiel, the Knight of Lightning, a close confidant of Lord Gabriel and a renowned war hero from the holy war. Riding the lightning, he had the power to obliterate his enemies with unparalleled speed and precision. A formidable contender representing the forces of light.
On the other side, emerging from the cosmic shadows, Zyphox, the Void Devourer, presented a mysterious and ominous presence. The very embodiment of the void, Zyphox wielded reality-bending powers and an insatiable hunger for destruction.
As the stage was set for the third round, the cosmic arena buzzed with anticipation. The clash between the forces of light and the dark on the desolate planet of Leyat would decide the fate of El-Kiin and the balance of power in the cosmic realms.
