Arthur's form and body begins to change drastically after releasing his power. This new form was a combination of his innate ability and the power of the Lionheart family. In this form, his hair turns completely white extending beyond his shoulder, his body also becomes completely white and illuminate a bright white light, His attire changes completely turning into a long white robe which extends to his knees, he gains four more additional swords which are also pure white.
Sasuke and Laila are suddenly filled with fear as Arthur's new form and power was almost at the level of a Royal Knight Captain. Arthur's energy current could be felt in the entire Kingdom as it broke the Rin barrier surrounding the Colosseum.
Sasuke tried to attack Him but before he could move, Arthur had already appeared Infront of him. He extends one of his swords above his head and tries slicing Sasuke into two but he manages to block and dodge the attack although it managed to cut his abdomen. Laila is able to stab Arthur with her spear but it does no damage to Arthur. He then begins to explain his power and how they are all going to loose to him.
Arthur: You bear hostility towards me. That was why your attack didn't even work on me. Before I completely wake up I barely use a fraction of my true power but after I completely awaken, I am able to fully utilize my true power and the final form of the Lionhearts. My power allows me to see the trajectory of my opponents, their weaknesses and Finally no attack on me shall work if my opponent bears hostility towards me. Also you do know about the Ruhmreich form of the Lionheart right bastard.
Sasuke: Yes I have heard about this but I have never actually seen one
Arthur: Oh is that so. I guess there is no need for me to explain my families power to a bastard.
Laila releases a bunch of energy projectiles at Arthur but he launches a sword attack of his own which breaks through Laila's attack and nearly sliced her hands off. Arthur attacks Laila with a series of sword strike to which she successfully manages to deflect but Arthur uses that chance to teleport infront of Laila and end her. At this point Laila knew it was all over and there was no way to block this until....
Sasuke: If you ever threaten or try to kill my friend I will kill.
Arthur: Look at this bastard acting a high and mighty just because you managed to stop my attack. Now I get why there are always villains. I think is so that we can take away everything that is important to the hero.(in his thoughts) more so how did he get that weapon. A weapon capable of blocking one of my Zweihänder blades. how did you get that Lance.
A moment before Arthur's attack Sasuke heard the voice of Erlan in his head. Erlan stated how weak Sasuke's body was and could only house five percent of his power but as the battle continued, his vessel begun to grow stronger and now he can manifest up to ten percent of his power. Erlan adds that he can amp that a little and give him a boost but he might die. Erlan at a moment taught Sasuke would hesitate but was shocked to hear how he answered without any hint of regret. He laughed at his own blunder and decided to give Sasuke a power boost and bestow upon him a partial form of his Three pointed double edged Lance.
Sasuke makes Arthur aware of the current change of events. At this point, Arthur and Sasuke were evenly matched. They begun battling it out in a contest of Swordsmanship. Their battle did not only took place on land but also in the sky. At this point Sasuke was the one dominating with him blocking all of Arthur's attack and hitting him back with twice the force of Arthur's attack. To someone with less or no battle experience or battle eyesight, it would look as if the two opponents are evenly matched and that none of their attacks are connecting but that was not the case. Sasuke was overwhelming Arthur so much that he couldn't even find any opening to counter attack.
Laila: Their fight is so intense that I can barely even see them until they make contact. Is almost as if am watching two lights connect at the same time. this speed at which they are battling is insane.
Kiing: Rebecca cast another spell to reinforce the Barrier or else we might end up with severe casualties. watching these kids fight reminds me of when I was a kid. This is why I love youth.
Rebecca: Says the man who has lived for more than 10,000 years.
Rebecca Casts a barrier around the entire Colosseum to control the huge amount of Rin energy leaking from those two.
Arthur condensed most of his energy into his sword. This increased the size of the sword making it much larger and longer. he called this sword Lichtschwert. Arthur extends the sword beyond his head and utters these words"is over". Sasuke begins swinging his Lance around his body before throwing his Lance. He called this technique "Full Thrust". The Lance pierces and breaks Arthur's Lichtschwert. Now Arthur had felt complete despair and humiliation. Saskue teleports right Infront of him and punches him in the face so hard that it sends him to the ground.
Now filled with despair and rage whiles also thinking about the fact that he lost. Sasuke approaches him and condenses a ball of energy in his palm.
Arthur: Why don't you get it over with Bastard.
As Sasuke was about to blast Arthur out of the ring, his body begins to break down. His bones and muscles twisting and cracking. Sasuke gives out a loud scream out of pain.
Arthur: Oh! so that strange power up came with a price huh. I guess fate doesn't want me losing to a disowned son.
Arthur materialises the last of his energy into a sword but before he could stab Sasuke, Laila interferes and takes the blow whiles also dealing a very severe damage to Arthur. Now that Arthur had become weak, Laila was able to best him and nearly defeat him until he counters and stab Laila in the abdomen.
Arthur: I am the Destined one. I am the one who is going to win this tournament. Not you not anyone.
Sasuke stands up even though his body is on the verge of completely breaking down as he was bleeding.
Sasuke: Give up and loose to you Forget it. Until my very last breath, I am never giving up mo matter what.
Arthur: You stupid abandoned bastard (screams intensely)
Sasuke: Laila now(shouts)
At this point Arthur realised how he had messed up. Laila focuses his energy in his palms and places them on the ground. The energy throws Arthur high above the Colosseum.
Arthur: So this was the plan of that Bastard. Even though he's a bastard that preservearance and determination of his nearly moved me. It seems in this world it doesn't matter how strong one is but if you don't have a reason for fighting you can never overcome someone who's willing to sacrifice everything for his friends and win. So this is the power of friendship huh the one thing that I lack.
Arthur closes his eyes and is ready to receive his fate. Sasuke Jumps high up into the sky way above Arthur. He begins condensing his energy ready to release his final attack.
Sasuke: Just this one time please grant me the strength to win this battle. Ultimate Flame Burst (screams intensely)Aaaaaaaarh.
The attack hits Arthur and sending him out of the ring along with Sasuke.
Now with the final opponent out of the battle everyone was waiting to see whether it will end in a draw or not as Laila was the last remaining participant.
The tension in the crowd increased their mouth as silent as a new bride waiting to receive their results. As everyone thought the battle had ended in a draw, a weakened Laila stands up from the pile of rubble and extends one of her hands up high indicating the victory of the hunter guild.
At this point there was loud Chants of praise and Cheering among the crowd, participants and even those watching from outside the battle. This Cheers and Chants wasn't just for Laila's victory but also the amazing battle they had witnessed. At this point everyone started mentioning and shouting the name of Sasuke and Laila in the Colosseum and outside the Colosseum. Even the king and his Royal guards giggles out of excitement.
The Tournament of Power had ended and the Hunter Squad had become victorious. This tournament was one which has never been seen in the history of Avilor.
With the Tournament having come to an end, the participants who suffered severe injury were all healed immediately and returned to their original forms. Due to the immense performance of all the participants, they were all given the opportunity to train under a Royal Knight and increase in their rank.
Months later all the participants had gone to the sky capital to train with the Royal knight they choose as their masters to train for a year. Although Everyone was happy and now they had been able to overcome the incident which had happened months ago, a new evil was lurking in the shadows.
There is a darkness coming and is about to consume all in its way.
