Ris had been proclaimed winner, while in the arena Shiryu and Catarina Devon were facing each other.
Catarina: Now I can pay you for all those tortures and mistreatments I received from you Shiryu.
Shiryu: A criminal will always be a criminal.
*metallic sound*
* Metallic sound *
* Metallic sound *
*metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound*
Catarina was no match for Shiryu in the sword, so he tried to use another approach, but it was futile, Shiryu kept attacking, and causing cuts all over Catarina's body.
After all Shiryu was a master of stealth, and managed to get every strike with his no dachi close to Catarina.
Catarina then began to spit fireballs, from her mouth, but they were all split in two by Shiryu, until she was in front of Catarina, Shiryu's nodachi was on Catarina's neck, who had no choice but to accept defeat.
Laffitte: We have our third winner, Shiryu de la lluvia .... The last match of the round of 16 is between Rofta and Sonkire Aslaug.
Rofta went down to the stage, while Aslaug entered right through the contestants' platform.
Rofta: I will make you pay for the humiliation I suffered when I came to this island bitch.
Aslaug: If by humiliation you mean knocking you out with just one punch....
Rofta didn't wait for the battle to start and launched himself against Aslaug, with his two swords covered with Haki.
But he was stopped in his tracks by Laffitte who grabbed him by the neck, and whispered something in his ear.
Then the battle officially began.
Rofta lunged at Aslaug with all his might using all his abilities, but was blocked by Aslaug, who started to counterattack.
Rofta started to use Haki on his swords, while Aslaug used Haki on his arms, the two started the fight, Rofta showed that he had improved, but Aslaug looked like a wall that he could not overcome.
Aslaug: I must admit that you have improved too much in these months...
Rofta: I'll finish you bitch, that position is mine.
Aslaug didn't respond instead he started to be more ferocious in all his attacks.
Rofta wanted to keep up with the attacks, as much as he tried he could barely keep up with Aslaug's attacks, but he could only defend himself.
Rofta: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
As he tried to counterattack, but what he didn't expect was a hard and accurate blow in the throat, leaving him without air for a few seconds.
Seconds that were used to the maximum by Aslaug, she attacked all the vital points of Rofta, of course she wouldn't kill him, but she would leave him out of combat, thus winning the battle.
Rofta: AARRHH.
Rofta fell to his knees without being able to move any limb.
Rofta: What did you do to me... your bitch.
Aslaug: I won.
As he gave him a powerful kick knocking Rofta unconscious.
Hundreds of screams were heard all over the coliseum all the Onis were ecstatic to see their best warrior completely crush her opponent.
Laffitte: Now we have our fourth winner Sonkire Aslaug.... Now the semifinals will be over..... What will face off are the following. Shiryu vs Ris and Agrom vs Aslaug.
Meanwhile in the paco Katahara was with a smile as he saw who were the ones who would face each other.
Katahara: Now this is going to be interesting....
Dabi: We already have the winner of the first battle....
Laxus: Who knows, maybe the kid will surprise us all.
Van Augur: That's unlikely, but not impossible, if the tides of destiny are with Ris, maybe he can have a chance.
Robin: The most brutal battle will be between Agrom and Miss Aslaug, Agrom is ....
Katahara: Agrom is Mink, and from what I see it's getting dark....
Then everyone realized what their captain was talking about.
Robin: But at this point everyone is exhausted from all the fights they had during the day.
Dabi: The Batlle Royal started at 6 o'clock in the morning, and right now it's 9 o'clock at night, I refuse to believe that none of them are exhausted at this point.
Katahara was silent for a few minutes listening to all the chatter going on here and there in the room.
Ragnar: Katahara, I didn't expect my daughter to face that monster, even by the standards of our time, he is a full-fledged monster.
At that moment Shiryu and Ris entered the arena, which was partially destroyed by all the battles that took place.
Shiryu: Tough luck kid.
Ris didn't answer, he just watched every move Shiryu had until the fight started.
Shiryu: It was an interesting battle you had with the girl.
At the moment the fight started, Shiryu disappeared, from his place, reappearing behind Ris, who flew through the air while a significant amount came out of his chest.
Laffitte: You are so bad Shiryu, Hohohohohohoho.
Shiryu then lit a cigar, and began to smoke.
Ris, got up from the ground only seconds later, while still wielding his trident.
Shiryu: Your determination pleases me.
As he disappeared and the same thing happened again Ris flew off with even more blood than before.
Shiryu: Why don't you show me what that little fork does.
As he approached Ris to confront him, at that moment Ris took advantage and threw himself against Shiryu who only threw a powerful long distance cut that hit Ris splitting the trident and leaving a deep wound in Ris's shoulder.
Ris could not continue the fight and fell down, for the first time Shiryu showed a smile, the smile he showed was a devilish smile that even rivaled Laffitte's own.
Katahara: Now we have our first finalist, as well as the first to win the position of commander in this competition.
At that precise moment everyone started to shout and celebrate for Shiryu who couldn't care less, he simply walked out of the arena, soon Drust himself appeared and took Ris to the medical room.
Laffitte: The SECOND SEMIFINAL IS HERE .... AGROM VS SONKIRE ASLAUG.
At that moment Agrom appeared right in front of him was Aslaug.
Agrom: This is going to be fun, don't you think?
Receiving a smile from Aslaug.
Aslaug: I won't hold back... I hope you won't either.
It didn't take long for the battle to begin, the two launched themselves at each other, demonstrating the thirst for battle they both had, both started the battle by colliding their fists, sending air waves all over the place, the battle had turned into a battle where neither of them could connect any blows, both dodged or blocked the other's attack.
Aslaug: This is what I'm talking about... why don't you use the technique you used on that giant guy?
Agrom responded by covering his arms with Haki, launching a devastating fist that sent Aslaug flying, Aslaug collided with one of the walls of the arena leaving a small crater in the place.
Not even 5 seconds passed, and Aslaug jumped out of the crater to throw himself against his opponent.
Agrom met her with a fist wrapped in electro and Haki, both continued in a battle in which both proved to be uncontrolled beasts.
Aslaug, who had a tough skin much tougher than steel, yet every time he blocked Agrom's blows, they went numb.
Both began to fight with no regard for their defense and only their brute strength.
A few minutes passed and both were totally exhausted.
Agrom: The moon is beautiful now, don't you think so.
Aslaug then turned to look fearfully at the sky, where he saw the full moon, Aslaug went into defensive mode, because he knew that if Agrom went into his Sulong form he would be defeated.
Agrom looked up and saw the full moon clearly.
His pupils shrank to an extremely small size as his eyes turned red.
What surprised everyone was his fur which turned Black as his body increased in size, the hair began to grow on his mane and tail, they grew enormously and took on a wilder appearance.
Agrom looked terrifying in Sulong form, Ragnar was dismayed by Agrom's appearance, he knew first hand that the Minks looked White when in their Sulong form.
They all sensed how Katahara was smiling as she watched Agrom.
This is something that has never been shown before, a transformation as black as night... Looks like I have the best link to the Minks, Katahara thought.
