As Thomas stepped back into the ring another man stepped out of the crowd and said "I already seen you match, but you weren't here for mine." Thomas stared at the man and seen that he was a lamia. Thomas stared at him and said "Then I'll figure it out as we fight." The lamia man smiled and said "I'm sure you'd like to but as it stands now you don't even have a chance." The orc man glanced at both Thomas and the lamia and said "The fight between Thomas and Adrios shall begin." Adrios immediately slithered towards Thomas and said "I'll shatter your bones with ease." Thomas glanced at Poppy who was sitting on his shoulder as she said "This ones not a child do what you want." As Thomas glanced back at Adrios Poppy hopped off of his shoulder and ran outside of the ring. Adrios wrapped his tail around Thomas's leg and said "I'll start by breaking the bones in your leg." Thomas teleported behind Adrios and used his storage magic to give him his book. Thomas opened the book and said "I'm sure I have a spell somewhere in here that'll defeat you easily." Adrios swung his tail around trying to swat Thomas in the head with it as he said "I won't give you the chance." Thomas ducked under his tail and said "The spell should be in here." Adrios continued to swing his tail at Thomas as he shouted "Take this seriously and fight me!" Thomas teleported around him dodging his tail as he said "Just a moment I know the spell is in here." Thomas closed his book and said "I found it." Thomas teleported behind the Adrios and put his hand on the back of his neck and said "Freeze." Ice particles began to form around Thomas's hand as he froze the back of Adrios's neck as he quickly turned around and asked "Are you trying to kill me?" Thomas stared at him and said "I've dealt with lamias before, although I didn't use this type of magic for it." Adrios slammed his tail down on Thomas's shoulder and said "That cold could've killed me." As Thomas felt the impact the ground beneath him cracked as Adrios said "I was just gonna get you out quickly but now I'm gonna enjoy toying with you." Thomas let out a grunt of pain and said "That hit wasn't half bad." Thomas crouched down to the ground and used his earth molding magic to make a hole the shape of a sword. Thomas then used storage magic to place some water in the hole as he said "Well if we're not messing around anymore." Thomas put his hand over the water and said "Then I guess I should give this a try." Thomas smiled and said "Freeze." After he grabbed the newly made ice sword and said "As long as I continue to use this freeze spell I have a weapon you won't even dare to touch. Adrios reached into his mouth and revealed a sword as he said "Well then since we're using weapons I suppose this will be a lot more interesting." Thomas sniffed the air and said "Poison?" Adrios grinned and said "I'm glad you noticed, so long as I even cut you you'll be paralyzed." Thomas smiled and said "That'll only work if you manage to hit me." Adrios slithered towards Thomas and said "Why don't you just stay there for a while and allow me to show you what this poison is capable of." Thomas teleported in front of him and swung his ice sword as he said "May the strongest win." Adrios blocked Thomas's ice sword and said "I will." As Thomas's ice sword made contact with Adrios's sword it shattered. Thomas glanced at his sword and said "I honestly don't know what I was expecting." Thomas sighed and said "I'm exhausted and gathering that stuff went to waste." Thomas shrugged and said "Not like I use weapons often anyway." Thomas threw the handle at Adrios and said "Bring it on." Adrios smiled and said "With pleasure." Adrios swung his sword at Thomas and cut his cheek. Thomas wipes it and mumbled "Moving will just make this spread faster." Adrios began to laugh as he said "Now it's only a matter of time before I win." Thomas began to stumble as he said "My vision." Adrios slithered towards him and said "Ah yes, it should be quite blurry." Thomas began to stumble towards Adrios as he said "It's hard to see." Adrios wrapped his tail around Thomas and said "Now I'm free to toy with you to my hearts content." Thomas began to close his eyes as he mumbled "Can't see." As everything became blurry Thomas heard Ocis scream out in the crowd "Don't give up yet!" Thomas opened his eyes and said "That voice." Adrios glared at Thomas face to face and said "Oh you still have some fight left in you?" Thomas tilted his head back and said "Why don't you find out for yourself." As Thomas said this he throw his head forward and head butted Adrios. Thomas began to stumble around as Adrios fell to the ground unwrapping himself from Thomas and shouting "You just don't know when to give up do you." Adrios swung his tail at Thomas and said "Fine I won't toy with you but I will knock you out of this ring." Thomas teleported behind Adrios and held his head as he said "Not much longer." Adrios turned around and said "Yes submit to my poison!" Thomas slowly turned around and said "I still got time." Thomas grabbed Adrios by the throat and said "Freeze." Adrios began to scream out in pain as he said "Your going to kill me." Thomas smiles and said "I don't plan on killing you." Thomas slammed him into the ground and said "I just have knock you out." As Adrios hit the ground it shattered knocking him completely unconscious. Thomas fell backwards and said "I can't move anymore." Ocis ran into the ring and towards Thomas as she said "That was super cool." Thomas stared at her and said "Ocis?" Lily walked towards them and asked "Well who else would it be?" Thomas smiled and said "Well everything's a bit blurry right now." An orc walked out into the arena and handed Ocis a pill and said "Get him to take this and he'll be able to move again." Ocis nodded and said "You can count on me!" Ocis dropped the pill in Thomas's mouth and said "If you eat that you should be fine." Thomas swallowed the pill as Lily said "The effects of the pill probably aren't immediate so we'll watch over you until your next match." Neil walked over to Thomas and said "If you would've lost it would've made me look weak so count yourself lucky that you won." Thomas sighed and said "So I won't be able to move for a while?" Ocis picked Thomas up and walked out of the ring and said "Don't worry I'll make sure you can watch the other matches." Thomas glanced at her and said "I can't even see right now." Ocis sat him down by a tree and said "I'll be right here with you so just let me know if you need anything." As Thomas laid there Lily sat down beside him and said "You only have a few more fights to go." Thomas yawned and said "Yeah but I've used a ton of mana." Lily smiled and asked "What are you gonna do with the prize?" Thomas glanced at her and asked "What prize?" Ocis turned around and said "I must've forgot to tell you, the prize is some really old book that no one can understand." Lily stared at him and asked "Are you gonna see if you can understand it?" Neil walked towards Thomas and said "You probably won't be able to, but if you share the book with me I'll happily tell you what it says." Lily stared at him and asked "Who are you?" Neil stared at her and said "We were talking a few minutes ago, how could you forget a prodigy?" Lily glanced at Ocis and asked "Is this that same idiot from before?" Ocis shrugged and said "I was too worried to notice, I kinda thought that I missed Thomas's match." Neil glanced at Thomas as he said "Those other guys are dealing with their opponents quickly." Ocis sat down beside Thomas and said "I just know you'll win!" As Thomas's vision began to clear he seen a blurry man standing in the center of the ring shouting "I am ready for my next opponent!" Ocis stared at him and asked "Don't we know him." Thomas stood up and stumbled as he said "I don't know." Lily stood up and pointed at the man as she said "We all know who that idiot is." Neil stared at the man and said "I still don't know who your talking about." Thomas sighed and said "I don't know either."
