- Elder Darkblood (wipes the vomit from her lips, laughs): Great, even better! (takes out her sword and gets into a fighting position)
Present...
Protoss Empire, Floating City...
Black Star Condominium...
Mansion A, garden...
- Havanna Thundergaze (staring with her hands on her cheek): What was the need to create that illusion? Wouldn't it be easier to defeat her right away with just one or two moves...?
- Mr. A (sitting, looks at Havanna): Heilla wouldn't be a challenge if she didn't fight seriously, and he knew it. That place is so dangerous that anyone would succumb to madness, one would become a monster that does not think, does not communicate, only destroys. The aggressiveness, brutality and violence of that place corrupts even titans...
- Kim Yukimura (eating, look at Mister A): So, he indirectly increased her abilities...
- Drake Grey (sitting, looks at Mister A): Either Arthur went crazy and killed them all, or they went crazy, and he had to kill them...
- Mr. A (looking at Grey, smiles nervously as he scratches his head): A very strange thread of thought for a child. However, the fight began, on one side we had Arthur, the one who would come to be called the Perfect Warrior, Master of All, and on the other we had miss Heilla, the daughter and last heir of the late patriarch of the Darkblood house, in the midst of the rain of blood, they stopped on a river made of blood...

In the illusion created by Arthur...
- Elder Darkblood (looking at Arthur, lets out a menacing smile, gets into combat position and runs towards Arthur leaving everyone surprised with the almost unbelievable speed)
- Arthur Treadway (with two swords in his hands, watching her come at high speed) "That speed, she's just an Immortal Master, is she already corrupting herself...?"
- Elder Darkblood (tries to punch Arthur in the face, but he dodges it at the last minute, and she stops with her back to him, squeaks): Hmph, lucky you... (licks her lips): You would have lost your head.
- Arthur Treadway (looking at her worried) "Already...?"
- Elder Chamberlain (looking at Heilla): Miss...?
- Lancelot Chamberlain (grips the old man's arm): Father, leave them for now...
- Prince Persival, Lancelot, Windsor, and Qin-Shi (look at the elder): You'd better not even go near her...
- Elder Heilla (looks at Arthur): Next time you won't be so lucky... (stands in combat position, signals for Arthur to come): Come, handsome!
- Arthur Treadway (looking at her, disappears) "Arrogant woman..."
- Prince Persival Treadway (looking around, hand on chin): It hasn't even started yet, but it's enough to sober me up...
- Elder Darkblood (standing still, looks to the left) "This is speed, who is he...?": I found you.
- Arthur Treadway (appears, tries to cut her neck with both swords, but she hits his arm, and he drops the sword from his left hand): Yes! (puts the other sword in its scabbard)
- Elder Darkblood (smiling, advances. She tries to kick Arthur in the head, he dodges, sees Arthur's fist come to her face, but she blocks and tries to fight back with a punch, and hits Arthur squarely in the chest)
- Arthur Treadway (steps back, looking at her) "That hurt, she as the strength of a Heavenly being now..." (smiles): Nice...
- Elder Darkblood (laughing vividly, as she looks at Arthur): Are you the one we were waiting for? Where is the one who killed King Aca?
- Arthur Treadway (a vein in his face, smiles, advances using the amazon Art of Bloody War)
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looks at Qin-Shi): Did you see that vein on his face?
- Elder Darkblood (doesn't wait for Arthur, uses the Darkblood Shadow steps Art, and tries to punch him in the face)
- Arthur Treadway (grabs her fist and throws her to the side): What is that?! I want to see Darkblood's secret Art
- Elder Darkblood: Haaah! (advances, tries to kick but Arthur blocks, tries to punch Arthur in the face)
- Arthur Treadway (lowers his head and punches her in the stomach)
- Elder Darkblood (feeling a strong pain in her stomach, puts her hands on her stomach, but then gets up and is faced with a kick coming towards her face, she defends): Lord... (looking at Arthur with a sweet face): Aren't you ashamed to hit a defenseless woman? (tries to kick Arthur)
- Arthur Treadway (looking at her) "This woman...": Women have tried to kill me since I was a kid, look at my eyes and see if I won't kill you if you do the same that they did! (dodges, tries to punch her in the face)
- Elder Darkblood (holds Arthur's fist, sighs): Pathetic...
- Lancelot, Persival, and Qin-Shi (surprised, looking at the two of them): WHAT????!!!!
- Emperor Qin (seeing Arthur's fist in her hand): Did she hold a punch from him?! (faints)
- Some soldiers (rush to help Qin-Shi): Sovereign...
- Arthur Treadway (pulls back his fist, eyebrow raised) "WHAT?! How is this possible?"
- Elder Darkblood (looking at Arthur with a calm demeanor) "He is very calm, I'm trying to get in his head, but...": You claim to be Pendragon's successor but use this kind of half-Martial Art? I could even take this as an insult and kill you, but I want you to fight me using the Dragon King Art, I've always heard that the movements resemble a dragon... (stays in combat position): I'll force you to use it showing you what a real Martial Art is!
- Arthur Treadway (in combat stance) "How is she getting stronger?! Alfred, study her!" (using the Art of a Thousand Armies, he advances, tries to give her a spinning kick in the face)
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "On it, boss!"
- Elder Darkblood (dodges, then blocks another punch from Arthur to her head and dodges another kick, kicks him in the chest, sighs): Stubborn...
- Arthur Treadway (is pushed back by the force of the kick) "If I were human, that kick would've killed me..." (gets into combat position): Come!
- Elder Darkblood (smiling, advances. Imitating the Art of the Thousand Armies, tries to punch Arthur)
- Arthur Treadway (surprised, elusive) "WHAT?! How does she know this Art?!" (sees another punch in his direction, dodges, and dodges another punch towards his face, lands one punch in her chest and another in her face)
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "She's learning from you, sir."
- Elder Darkblood (dizzy, steps back)
- Arthur Treadway (while she is stunned, using the Art of a Thousand Armies, kicks her in the head, using his heel kicks her cheek, and another in the chin and at high speed gives two more kicks to her face, and ends with a punch to her jaw) "I won't give her time to learn then!"
- Elder Darkblood (is thrown up)
- The members of the Darkblood house (worried about Heilla): MISS HEILLA!!!!...
