Luca and Anna were now standing before each other in the arena and a countdown appeared.

fight
Luca activated a water wave and a 2-meter high wall of water fell in the direction of Anna, and Luca thought he would win this match because Anna didn't move an inch, she just held her hand in the direction of the water wave. As soon as the water touched her hand it turned into ice, and Luca had to quickly stop his attack, or he would be frozen by the ice attack.
Luca was shocked by the 2-meter high ice wall being before him and thought that if his opponent can use ice skills it will be his loss. But didn't Anton say that he would win? No, if he thought harder about it Anton said that he would learn something from this fight. Luca was frustrated and murmured something.
"Dammit Anton, why did you say that I could learn something from getting beat up"
Just when he was finished being angry at Anton a few ice spears, the size of 50 centimetres in length came flying at him he hurriedly used Water Wall and blocked the ice spears, to be precise the spears turned into his water. Luca's face lit up at that discovery and Anna's face became a bit worried, she now stood on the wave of ice and fired more ice spears in the water, but they just turned into more water.
The battle was now going on for more than ten minutes and the outcome wasn't set in stone yet. Luca and Anna gave up on using their element skills and focused on sword fighting, before the fight Anton thought that Luca wouldn't have a chance against Anna in sword fighting but the two of them seemed evenly matched.
"Luca is good at sword fighting did he do something like that in his free time?"
"No Lena, he was more like a nerd, and the only thing he did was to go to the gym with us"
"Oh! Ok you went to the gym together, that's nice"
"Yeah it was until I had to quit, because of football my coach didn't allow it"
"Huh is he dumb isn't it good to have muscles in football?"
While Lena and Ben were talking something interesting happened in the fight between Anna and Luca, a small dragon appeared and said he was from the system. He said that they had to send the people home and slow down the time in the colosseum dramatically because they were too many people fighting, he also said that time in the colosseum was normally 4 times as slow as the time outside. But no player ever noticed that not even Anton and Anna why was that?
When the dragon disappeared the fight continued and another interesting thing happened Luca's sword was broken by Anna and he now tried to avoid her, but he didn't succeed in doing that. Soon his upper body was filled with small little cuts and some bigger ones, but he didn't give up, no to be more precise he thought of a way to fight back, that's when he remembered Anton's fire sword and he tried to form it in his mind.
Anton was lost for words, Luca made a whole Water sword not a sword that lays on the hand and arm like his, no he made a real sword you could hand in your hand. Anna was also shocked by that, she had seen Anton's sword but it didn't compare to Luca's sword. And finally, Luca opened his eyes to see the sword he was holding, he was the one who was the most shocked out of the three, because he couldn't believe that he was able to make a skill on his own, even his sponsor said that it is close to impossible in the lower stages.
"Hah now you watch woman"
He screamed at Anna and hit her, but Anna had already engulfed her sword in ice so it didn't do much to her, except that the ice started to turn into water and Luca's sword started to grow. Anna cancelled her skill immediately because Luca's sword was about two meters long already. The fight continued and it long seemed that Anna would lose but her mythic power reserves were bigger than Luca's, so Luca fell unconscious in the middle of an attack. Now normally this wouldn't have happened so fast but Luca created a new skill and that took a lot of mythic powers from him.
Luca was transported to the hospital and Ben, Eddie and Lena were going to keep an eye on Luca. Anton was now alone in the room and he saw how Anna was the first to advance to the next level, many players joined after Anna, and Anton was now sure, he could participate multiple times. He recognized a few faces who qualified for the next round and then he saw the one he was looking for.
Tim had a great time, two of his friends had already passed and the friends of the boy who mocked him (Anton) were all out already, so he decided that it was his time to fight, he also made a special plan for that, his friends would join him and forfeit the match. In this way non of them would lose strength and the way to the next round was secured. It all worked perfectly until the tenth round.
Anton was now standing in front of Tim who made a confused and angry face, Anton knew why he made that face. It was because Anton had now ruined his plan of going to the next round without reviling too much of your powers. Normally Anton wouldn't care about something so cowardice, but it was different now. To be except he just wanted to beat him up.
"Hey do you really need to do something like this Tim, you are a coward you know that don't you"
Tim's confused face now turned into a face of pure anger and hate and he started running in Anton's direction while saying.
"I will kill you, you ugly monster and free the poor girl you have under mind control"
Anton was confused what was he talking about? Mind control on whom? But he put those thoughts aside and focused on fighting. The skill that Tim used was oddly familiar to Anton, it was the same as the one Karen used all the time.
Tim's sword and Anton's Fire sword clashed a few times before Anton stepped back and shoot a few fire bullets at Tim, but Tim defended by forming a shield. There were a few little burn marks left on the shield but Anton's fire was soft compared to that from Ben. They fought like that for a while before Ben smiled and screamed at Anton.
"Haha, you won't survive this fight and I finally will get revenge for that girl you killed."
Then a thought crossed Anton's mind how could Tim and Karen have the same skills? Don't they need the same sponsor for that, but a sponsor could only take one representative? So what was going on here? Anton just asked Tim about that.
"How can you two have the same skills?"
Tim didn't answer and just formed a rocket launcher, Anton was scared by the appearance of it, but he didn't know why? He thought he could easily avoid the missile so he didn't bother to attack Tim. That was a mistake, Tim fired the missile and fell to his knees the missile was so fast Anton couldn't see her and hit him. An explosion of light happened and Tim had a grin on his face because there was only half of Anton's body left lying on the floor.
>So you had to get hit by a light attack how unfortunate for you, light is my weakness<
"Huh, who are you am I dreaming again? No wait I know this voice, you are my sponsor why are you here?"
Anton was in a dark abyss again and an even darker figure with dark red eyes was standing before him.
>You are wrong, you came to me because you were dying<
Dying? Anton slowly remembered what happened.
"Oh, so I lost the fight. Shit.Shit. shit. Why did I have to lose against him"
>Haha I am happy to have you as my sponsor always wanting to win, just like me back then. But an important thing is you didn't lose because when you wake up it will be a few seconds after you got hit from that light attack<
"Huh, but we are talking right now?"
>Yes, but just in your head I will give you 1% of my powers, just like the rest of the sponsors so you can go and kill that guy<
While saying that, his sponsor started grinning scarily, but Anton hadn't even the time to think about that. He was awake again and the lost part of his body was now black and red with mythic powers and he had a horn on the left part of the forehead. He looked like a sinister evil.
Tim watched this spectacle unfold and quickly wanted to give up but he couldn't say anything. He had overused his powers and couldn't even use one part of his body. He saw Anton grinning happily, but it wasn't a nice happy smile it was more of an I will kill you now happy smile. Anton then vanished and appeared again before Tim and said.
"Just like your sister couldn't kill me you also are too weak! You loser, tell her something nice from me"
Tim was shocked how did he find out? That was Tim's last thought before his heart was pierced by Anton's fire sword, but the fire this time around was different it was much darker than before.
Ben who came back alone was watching the spectacle with an open mouth and eyes that didn't want to believe what happened. No one wanted to fight against Anton so Anton had to wait, wait, and wait until finally someone appeared it seemed that it was one of Tim's friends, Anton knew this girl, she was the one who was nice to him so he went lightly on her, he just slammed her into the other end of the arena.
That made many players angry and a message appeared.

________________
Ben couldn't trust his eyes and ears, something like that is possible?! He wanted to join Anton and help him, but then he saw the smile on Anton's face and he leaned back on the sofa grabbed a coke and popcorn and enjoyed the show.
A thousand players were now standing before him in the bigger arena, the players came running and jumping at him but he just used a new skill and dark flames covered the whole ground. All the players lost immediately and were transported to their rooms or the hospital and the next round came and then the next and so on, Anton enjoyed this he finally got powers from his sponsor and he got to kill the blond idiot so he didn't hold back.
And just like that 8 rounds passed and Anton was now qualified for the next rounds. He got teleported back to his room and Ben was there, Anton looked at Ben and grinned.
"I am the leader now"
"Hah, I know Anton, but what about your body will it heal back?"
"Oh about that yes, my sponsor said it will take a day, but then my body will look normal again.
"Hey that's great, but I would have found it funny if you had to walk around like that"
"Oh, you would? I mean if you like it that much I can give it to you"
"Oh, no I changed my mind let's go to Luca and tell him off your win"
And so the two of the left the room and walked to the hospital rooms.
