"Seriously, if it is going to cause such an earthquake effect, why even bother to put up a barrier... Hey, you need to separate the petals from the stamens, they have different uses." said Ben.
Poor Bob...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On field A, a pillar of dust is formed inside of the cylinder-shaped barrier, totally blocked the vision from audiences of what happened inside of the barrier, however, they know an aggressive fight is still ongoing in it with all the shaking of the area.
"Oh gosh! These two pairs are really strong! Especially the two from team 'Kneel Before Me'." said a random audience that seated a few rows behind of Ben and Bob.
"I know right? Seriously, I almost believed that they cheated in the qualification test if I didn't watch the survival match yesterday, I meant, how would such a strong team need to cheat with a Deity who might only on par with their strength?" said another audience.
"Right? I believe they had been framed." said the first audience. "I think so too, that's just so wicked." said another audience...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, inside of the barrier, both of the parties are continuing their fierce crossed matches, all of them seem to be in serious battle mode and had started using their weapons. However, the situation is a little bit different for Sky and Chris. Instead of using their usual weapons, they changed a bit, Sky is no longer using his sword but instead, it is used by Chris, Sky is wearing a pair of magic focusing gloves that are made from leather, metal, and magic stone dust.
On the other side, Flan and his female companion had somewhat 'fused' together and formed a disturbingly hideous deformed creature that you will only see in some horror games as the last boss.
"Ah... Despite the fact that I have seen this for a few times, it's still very creepy and disturbing." said Sky.
"True. I seriously wonder why are they having issues with Deity but are actually okay with this monster?" said Chris while dodging his opponent's attacks.
"Well, obviously the identity of Bob is not even a problem, they are just using him as an excuse to eliminate our team in early stages by force." said Sky before giving a hard telekinetic slam to his opponents sending them crushing towards the inverted barrier.
Then, within a second, the opponent stood back up and their 'skin' started bubbling and glow in red light...
"Boom!!!"
A loud explosion can be heard outside of the barrier, followed by a rather vigorous shaking of the whole area.
"Ah... What an intense fight they have in there." said Blair who just had an easy win of his match and is returning to the waiting area along with Gerrard.
"Yes, that other team is surprisingly strong too, I wonder if the magic limiter even works on them." said Gerrard.
"Well, I believe it's working just fine, it could be way more destructive than this without the partial limiter." said Blair as they walked into their waiting area...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The thirty minutes countdown had ended. The matches for fields B, C, and D had ended before the time ran out. The fierce match on field A is halted, and both of the parties are totally unscathed as the barrier is removed and the dust slowly faded.
"Oh! Looks like it's a draw! Hmm, haven't happened in the first shift, I guess both parties are equally strong." said the Emcee Cat.
With this, the first match for the second shift ended. All the participants from the first match returned to their respective waiting/resting area as the participants for the second match entered the field.
"Haha! Flan, that was a really good match! I'm actually glad that the organizers changed that rule for the magic limits." said Sky.
"Yes, same here, it would have no fun at all with all those magic limits. But actually, I never thought you guys will be this serious for the match. I mean it's been a while since I saw Chris used a sword, I never seen him used the sword he used for the match just now though, is that his new sword?" Flan asked.
"Uhm... No, that's mine, he forgot to bring his own swords with him... Haha." said Sky.
"Shut up, Sky." said Chris, a bit annoyed.
"Haha! Anyway, about those two girls that are participating in the second match, I don't think I have seen them before, your new girlfriends?" said Sky, a bit teasing.
"Nah, I'm very faithful to Caramel. It's just that the tournament required a gender ratio that is at least 6:2, so I randomly pick up those two girls from the hell realm as a temporary member since, you know, I'm faithful to Caramel, she is the only lady that is allowed to be in my group." said Flan as he hugged Miss. Caramel and started kissing her in front of all the crowd.
"Ahahaha..." Sky laughed awkwardly.
"Hold on! You said you are letting two unknown demon girls joining this tournament? And now they are going to fight against the two precious ladies in our team?" said Chris, rather surprised at what Flan just told them.
"Yeah, anything wrong? If I didn't mistaken, you guys are having temporary members as well, for example, that Deity." said Flan.
"Yes, but... for some reason, I have a weird uneasy feeling about those demon girls and I can't explain why." said Chris.
"Haha! You are too sensitive. Don't worry, if there is anything wrong with them, I can always keep them under control." said Flan, rather confident...

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
