Those cold eyes looked towards the white cat beneath it, the two tailed cat looked tiny in comparison to this colossal figure.
The beast stepped out of the mist revealing its body. The black glossy fur shone in the winter sun, each strand of hair looked like metal wires, sharp and dangerous. The beast was extremely powerful and by it just standing in a stationary position you could see its muscles ripple underneath the fur!
Connected to its paws were matte black claws, each claw seemed to drag into the ground cutting through the stone like mud and between the beast's jaws was a glowing red hot chain slowly evaporating the mist around it. At the end of the chain was a huge sword that had lava dripping off of it.
As the mist completely disappeared the beast was finally identifiable, it was wolf! Hilda was a spirit beast as well.
The contrast between the huge black wolf and the miniscule white cat had a strange beauty to the people watching. Hilda swung the chain using her mouth sending the sword hurtling towards Moriko, the fight had resumed!
The white cat swiftly jumped out the way, the lava drippings just barely missing her. Hilda once again attacked, not giving any chances for Moriko to regain her composure, the sword appeared all over the arena, orange lines blurred across the stage as the colosseum began heating up.
Boom! As Moriko was dodging the chain and streak of ice came up behind her striking the cat on it's stomach. TVO members in the stands clenched their fist and continued to closely stare at the fight.
The cat winced as the ice began growing, spreading across it's petite body, however it continued to dodge as Hilda once again left no time for Moriko to relax. Ice and lava spread across the stage all blasting towards the white cat.
Moriko knew she would get no where if she continued like this so she turned back into her human form and materialised her aura shamisen. Her fingers gracefully plucked the strings and created countless cat-form phantoms, the flames on the end of their tails eagerly combating the lava made by Hilda.
Moriko flashed past her phantoms going towards the front line where a huge wolf was simply swatting all the aura mirages like flies. Moriko once again plucked the strings on her shamisen but instead of summoning phantoms it sent shockwaves towards Hilda.
The huge wolf body was launched into the air, the countless shockwaves superimposed creating a horrifying wave of aura. When Hilda finally landed she coughed up a dangerous amount of blood, the ruby liquid splattered onto the floor and quickly boiled leaving a dark red grime on the stone.
The wolf slowly became human again, the chain reducing in size as well. Hilda stood up, her armour was tattered and ripped, her body bruised and battered but her anger was thriving. The 2.10 metre woman was releasing more and more aura, half of her body red and the other half ice blue.
One wave of her limbs changed the atmosphere of the colosseum hot and cold coexisted together strengthening each other. The two elements began fusing solid and liquid were combined together creating a ball of power and destruction.
Hilda then lassoed the ball using her chain and lobbed it towards Moriko. Samael looked closely at the orb his heart beating worriedly for his guild mate as he could sense the immense strength contained in that orb of aura., even him with his Transcendent level body would take damage from that.
The orb seemed to home in on the cat, Moriko was running for her life she knew she couldn't block this attack. She was slowly losing speed she had expended too much aura during this fight however how could she gave up, she had to win. The white cat moved like a ghost as it ran toward Hilda the orb following right behind.
The cat leaped and jumped into the arms of the tall woman and since she had stopped moving the orb soon caught up to her, colliding with her and Hilda's bodies.
BANG! BOOM! CRAAACCCKKK!
The explosion was huge frost and lava spread across the arena, one side of the colosseum look like the Titan Continent and the other looked like Hell, it was terrifying.
The steam and air slowly cleared revealing a burnt and battered wolf, Hilda had reverted to her original form due to the immense damage she took but a cat was no where to be seen. The people in the stadium were holding their seats terrified for Moriko no one had expected such a heated battle of the rip.
Many of the 'Top 25' lost their confidence, they had thought that since they made a lot of progress they could beat the Heaven class participants however it was clear that even though they were getting stronger so was everyone else.
Samael scanned the arena looking for his guild mate, "She's there!" he exclaimed, pointing towards a charred object lying on top of the wolf.
Albert flashed to where Sami was pointing and realised said charred object was actually in the shape of a cat, it was Moriko all the flames had burnt off a lot of her white fur, she was very injured.
The teacher went to discuss with his other colleagues and quickly transported Hilda and Moriko to the infirmary for some treatment.
20 minutes later....
"Well everyone that was and exciting first battle!" Albert said when he came back, "I have discussed with the other teachers and we have decided to wait until both student recover and test them in other ways so that we can accurately asses the better combatant."
The Iron and Blood members didn't even look angry, all of their eyes were filled with fighting intent. Even the healers looked like they wanted to brawl it seemed that, that whole guild was a group of knuckleheads.
TVO on the other hand look quite nervous for their teammate as even the dumbest person could easily tell Moriko had no chance winning that match as the pure power of that orb was insane.
"Now then who wants to go next. And second that insane fight."

Info of the day: Time element
The time element can control time the stronger you are the more 'time' you can control. You can speed up, slow down, stop and reverse time depending on your strength.
No one has even forwarded time, due to the infinite possibilities of the future.
Furthermore when reversing time all you are doing is putting in the memory of the future in your past body.
The furthest someone has ever gone back in time is around a month as it is very hard to do.
