Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

After me and Shamueru talked, Shamueru started to walk towards the arena and in his mind he said, "So far so good, now one of my opponents can use the power of enchantments. Not only that she mainly uses melee attack hmmm… it doesn't sound that strong but right now it's going to be a bloody match. Doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I'll make them all bleed." Shamueru looked towards his right and saw the medical people. He went up to them and said, "I want to let you know to be prepared after this match because I heard that it is going to be a near death situation." One of the medics ran inside to warn them and the other thanked Shamueru for telling them. Shamueru walked away with a grin and said, "I just hope she doesn't die on me. Would be a shame if I got disqualified because of how weak she will be."

After the fight, I headed to the spectators room. When I reached the door, I saw Shamueru there waiting for me. So I said, "What do you want?" Shamueru replied, "Why are you still wearing that glove? You know that without the glove, you would be able to win that match with minimum effort right?" I replied, "Is that all you have to say? You know your match is coming soon. Like jeez, if you are going to struggle in the first match, I doubt that you are not even strong enough to win the second." Shamueru then grinned and then replied, "Let me tell you this once and I won't repeat it again. Just like you, I'm holding back too. I only went in my incomplete form for a second cause he was getting annoying and I have an inner urge to kill him, but since you want to see me go all out then let's see how long this person will last." Shamueru then left the room. After Shamueru left, I walked through the door and then Lyon and Sana came up to me. Lyon said, "Congratulations Maiku! You got me nervous when she turned your whole body into stone and then suddenly or somehow you broke out of it! It was unbelievable! I can't wait to fight you one day!" Sana then says, "Hey Lyon calm down before you start mumbling, also congratulations Maiku." I replied, "Thanks guys but right now I have to watch this fight, it is very important." I walked past them and then looked at the arena. In my head I say, "What does he mean, how long can she survive? Whatever he does in that fight I wouldn't mind even if it means killing her."After me and Shamueru talked, Shamueru started to walk towards the arena and in his mind he said, "So far so good, now one of my opponents can use the power of enchantments. Not only that she mainly uses melee attack hmmm… it doesn't sound that strong but right now it's going to be a bloody match. Doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I'll make them all bleed." Shamueru looked towards his right and saw the medical people. He went up to them and said, "I want to let you know to be prepared after this match because I heard that it is going to be a near death situation." One of the medics ran inside to warn them and the other thanked Shamueru for telling them. Shamueru walked away with a grin and said, "I just hope she doesn't die on me. Would be a shame if I got disqualified because of how weak she will be."

Shamueru then makes it to the arena. Shamueru then begins to stretch and crack his knuckles. The announcer then says, "That was a magnificent match between Shamueru and Saphela! Let's see who is going to face off against Shamueru in the semi-finals! On my right side of the arena, it is Shamueru!" The crowd then begins to scream and chant Shamueru name. Shamueru then begins to walk toward the middle. The announcer then continues, "And on my left side of the arena, it is Athena!" Athena then walks out doing cartwheels and somersaults. Shamueru and Athena then walk toward the middle. Shamueru looks at Athena with a disgusted look on his face. Athena asks, "What's wrong?" Shamueru replies, "Just that they're making me fight a weak opponent to make it to the semi-finals." Athena then says in rage, "What did you say?!" Shamueru then replies, "Just that it's going to be an easy win for me that's all." Athena then attempts to slap Shamueru. Shamueru then catches her hand and slaps her with disrespect. Athena then shouts, "So you want to be like that now huh? Mister tough guy over thinks that it's going to be an easy match for him." Shamueru then rolled his eyes and says, "Let's just open the portal already. I'm tired of hearing her speak." The portal then opens and they both walk in. 

The two go through the other side of the portal and see that it's a rocky planet that they are on. The two then took distance from each other. The Announcer then says, "Let the second match of round two begin! 3…2…1…Fight!" Athena then reaches into her bag and says, "This bag has infinite space inside. I can store anything I want inside of it!" Athena then takes out an iron sword. Shamueru then begins to laugh and says, "An iron sword? Out of anything that you can take out of your so-called infinite space, and you decide to take out an iron sword? Ha!" Shamueru then begins to burst out into tears and laughter. Athena then gets angry and shouts, "There's more to it than that!" Athena then says, "Enchantment: Light Mana Critical!" Shamueru then starts laughing and says, "What?" Athena then dashes towards Shamueru and swings her sword at him. Shamueru then summons his Menace Blade and blocks the attack. Shamueru arms then begin to shake. Shamueru then says in his head, "That attack was so strong that I felt it even though I blocked it. Imagine if that sword landed a blow on me." Athena then went on a rampage striking her sword against Shamueru Menace Blade. The ground then begins to shake and break. An equator is being made under Shamueru. Athena then shouts, "I thought this was going to be easy Shamueru! What's with all struggle huh!" Right when Athena brings up her sword, Shamueru sees an opening and shouts, "Shadow Step!" Shamueru then strikes upwards stunning Athena. Athena then says in her head, "He's fast! I have to watch out for any close-range attacks!" Shamueru then strikes downwards and multiple slashes appear upon Athena blasting her away. Athena then lands against a boulder. Athena then mumbles an enchantment. Shamueru then shouts, "Dark Terror!" Shamueru then shoots out a beam of darkness from his hand toward Athena. Athena then uses her right hand to deflect the attack. Shamueru then looks at Athena's right hand and thinks to himself, "She is wearing a glove. Maikeru glove has some sort of power but hers is different. I can't sense any power coming from that glove. Is there some sort of power I can't see on that glove or is there something else to it?" Athena then reaches into her bag and takes out a crossbow. She then says, "Enchantment: Multiple Shot. Enchantment: Lock On." The arrows then begin to glow bright pink. Athena then begins to shoot out dozens of arrows toward Shamueru. Shamueru then shouts, "Dark Wall!" A Wall made out of dark mana appears blocking the attack. Athena then takes out a shield and says, "Enchantment: Dark Mana Resistance!" Shamueru then shouts, "Dark Sun!" Shamueru throws a giant sphere of burning dark mana toward Athena. Athena then covers herself with the shield, blocking the attack with zero damage done to her. Shamueru then leaves after-images and strikes Athena from the side. Athena then gets flung into the air. Shamueru then charges Athena with a charging punch. Athena then uses her shield to block the punch. Shamueru hand then started to burn. Shamueru then swings his Menace Blade to smack the shield out of Athena's grasp. Athena then uses her sword and they both begin to clash. Shamueru then says, "Surprisingly you're not that bad, but it's not worth the credit yet." Shamueru then kicks the sword out of her hand and then attempts to pierce Athena through the chest. Athena then uses her right hand to grab Shamueru blade and stopped it. Shamueru then says, "Just give up already!" Athena then sidestepped and took the blade out of Shamueru hands. Shamueru then started throwing punches but then Athena dodges them and throws a punch of her straight to his gut. Shamueru then spits out blood. Shamueru then grabbed the hold of Athena's hand and took off the glove. Shamueru then sees that her right hand was robotic with an enchantment on it. Shamueru then says, "No wonder her punch was so powerful. And the fact that she stopped my blade with only one hand. Her enchantment is very effective towards Dark Mana.

Shamueru then flies back and says, "So that's what you have been hiding." Athena then says, "I lost my hand in an accident when I was sparring with my brother." Her robotic arm then began to glow. Athena then says, "My brother died trying to protect this kingdom. I shall carry on our family name and win this tournament." Shamueru then says, "You're talking to me as if I give a crap. Less talking more fighting!" Athena then began to blast energy attacks toward Shamueru. Shamueru then shouts, "Perfect Blackhole!" A black hole appeared and absorbed the attack. Athena then rushed Shamueru attempting to strike him with her robotic hand. Shamueru then shoved her hand away and tried to throw a right hook. Athena then bends backward and kick-flipped Shamueru in the chin. Shamueru was then stunned. Athena then threw another punch toward Shamueru gut. Shamueru was then left broken down. Athena then used her left hand to hold onto Shamueru and threw a barrage of punches toward him with her right robotic arm. She then ended the barrage with a spike toward the ground. Athena then says, " My robotic arm was effective, unbreaking, and critical damage enchantments. You are not going to win this fight Shamueru." Athena then gets ready to throw the final blow, charging her robotic arm. Shamueru with a soulless facial expression lying there about to lose the match.

Athena then ignites her charged blast close range into Shamueru. The field was covered in smoke. The crowd goes silent. The smoke then begins to clear up. Athena sees that her blast destroyed a mountain. Shamueru is behind Athena in his incomplete transformation. Shamueru then leans forward, whispers in Athena's ear, and says in a serious tone, "You have fucked up." Shamueru then punts Athena in the air, and dashes behind her. Pounds her back in the gut. Shamueru then pulls her hair and says in her face, "You're nothing more but a pawn." Shamueru then throws her down, summons his Menace Blade, and says, "Dark Slash." A big slash of dark mana appears and catches Athena. Athena tries to stop it with her right robotic hand but it was too much. Athena then shouts, "This will not…be the end!" Athena then reaches the ground and a massive explosion appears destroying half of the planet. A big light aura appears, and Athena rises with an imperfect transformation. Athena's skin turned grey and she let out a scream of terror. She then says, "Enchantment level increase by twenty times. Defense increase, offense increase, endurance increase!" Her robotic hand then grew stronger. Lyon then shouts, "How are they both not wounded from the attacks that were given to one another? Shamueru was taking effective critical damage and Athena took massive damage from a planetary attack!" Sana replies, "When you transform it heals most of your wounds but not all of them. Depending on how badly the wound is and how strong the transformation is determined which wounds will be healed or not." Lyon then says, "These two are about to kill each other! Who knew that an enchanter would be this powerful!" Athena then reaches into her bag and takes out another sword but it has more and stronger enchantments than the previous one. Athena then raises her robotic arm and the sword in her left hand grows stronger. Shamueru then shouts, "Dark Sun!" Shamueru then creates two spheres of burning dark mana and sends them flying toward Athena. Athena then shoots out a big beam of energy destroying both spheres. Shamueru then shouts, "Perfect Blackhole!" Shamueru then absorbed Athena's attack. Shamueru and Athena then rushed toward each other. Shamueru summons his Menace Blade and they both clash. Shamueru and Athena are now both forcing strength and power on one another. Shamueru tries to push Athena back but then begins to fall. Athena then shouts, "It's over!" Shamueru then lets go of the clash and hovers above Athena and says, "Allow me to give back what you threw at me." Shamueru then summons his perfect black hole and it shoots out all the attacks Athena used on Shamueru that have been absorbed. Athena then falls crashing down to the ground. Shamueru comes down crashing on top of Athena's spine. Athena then bursts out blood. Shamueru then puts his foot on top of Athena, grabs both of Athena's arms, and begins to break them. Athena then begins to scream in pain. Athena then bursts out of energy escaping Shamueru grasp. Athena then grabs Shamueru face with her robotic arm and face-plants him into the ground. Athena then shouts, "That's not all!" She then blasted out energy through her robotic hand. Shamueru then burst out energy escaping Athena's grasp. Shamueru then says in a low tone, "Dark Slumber." The area turned pitch black and Athena couldn't see anything. Then for every second, multiple punches and attacks appeared on Athena and when the area cleared up, she was on the floor with Shamueru hovering above her.

Athena then slowly got up from the ground, struggling to stand up. She then says, "I will not….lose to….you." Athena tries to throw a punch with her robotic hand, but it was too slow, and Shamueru then catches it. Shamueru then says, "This match was fun…" He bends her robotic hand in half and says, "While it lasted." The enchantments of the robotic hand disappear and Athena screams in pain. Shamueru then jammed his hand in Athena's mouth and says, "Oh stop with the screaming, you'll just make things worse." Yanan then rips out four of Athena's teeth. Athena then put her left hand on her mouth, crying in tears of pain. Shamueru then summoned his Menace Blade and got ready to deliver another blow. Athena then began to shout, "I yield! I yield!" Shamueru then puts his Menace Blade away and says, "See, was it so hard to say those two simple words." A portal opens and medics come running out, rushing to help aid Athena. Shamueru goes through the portal and the announcer shouts, "The winner of the match goes to Shamueru!"
