Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of the two swords colliding was fierce and heavy. Mariel has been fighting Chaos like old enemies for a long time. There were many wounds on their bodies, but they couldn't reduce the intensity of the battle. Nevertheless, the sword's skills continued to be used without stopping.
Chaos used his left fist filled with dark magic and punched Mariel's right cheek, causing blood to fall out of her mouth.
But Mariel clenched her left fist tightly and slammed it under Chaos' chin, causing him to nearly fall to his feet.
"Ouch!" Chaos shouted angrily as blood continued to flow from his mouth.
Mariel didn't answer but she continued to fiercely attack the opponent with swords. Her eyes were filled with anger and tried to finish him off.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Take it!!!!" Chaos roared as he violently slammed a wave of dark magic sword at his opponent.
"You still have lot of things to learn!" Mariel responded and slammed the same dark magic sword power back as well.
Scorching!!!!!
A loud noise echoed throughout the stadium. The intensity of the two clashing powers caused the Dark Berserk Sword and Dragon Slayer Sword to be thrown out of the two people's hands, and their bodies also staggered backwards in opposite directions until they hit the ground with full force.
Chaos was panting from exhaustion, unlike Mariel who was starting to get tired as well, but she still tried to stand up and prepare for another attack.
Chaos slashed in anger and rushed dark magic power into both hands, Mariel did the same, then they charged at each other, throwing many punches.
The punch hit both sides' faces and bodies until their entire bodies were bruised. Blood flowed from their mouth and nose non-stop, staining the arena in many places.
"I won't lose!!!" Chaos shouted and took advantage of the moment; he slammed his fist into Mariel's face until she started to feel dizzy.
Chaos used his large, strong wolf's hands to grab Mariel's head and slammed her to the ground, causing her face to hit the ground with full force.
Mariel quickly used this chance to release herself out of Chaos' grasp and jumped above Chaos. She accelerated the power to her left foot and kicked it squarely into the middle of Chaos' face.
"Ouch!" Chaos cried out in pain. Mariel's full kick caused several of his own teeth to break out.
Mariel hurriedly dealt with the final attack on the opponent by moving to Chaos' back and continuously throwing punches until Chaos's back was bruised.
"You!!!" Chaos shouted as he turned around and grabbed Mariel's body and threw her to the ground, causing the ground to collapse following the force of the impact until the entire area was shaken.
Chaos threw many punches at Mariel, but she could only raise both of her arms to protect herself.
"I am the winner! A woman like you is not worthy of victory, remember this!" Chaos continued to insult his opponent as he slammed all his remaining power into Mariel, causing her to freeze.
Chaos slowly stood up from his exhausted body. Sweat flowed all over the body until the heat covered it all over. His breath coming in and out irregularly indicates that he has used up his power to the limit.
"It's over! You little…" Chaos said.
Scorching!!!!!
Mariel's eyes, which had been closing, suddenly brightened, she slammed a punch straight into Chaos's chin, causing him to float off the ground for a moment due to the force of Mariel's punch.
Mariel used both hands to grip Chaos' pants tightly and used all her strength to throw him into the sky.
"Yaaaaa!!!!!"
Mariel shouted and soared to the same level as Chaos' body, which was nearly exhausted from resistance. Then, dark magic punches struck in every direction until Chaos' face and body were completely swollen.
Mariel spread her right hand out to the side. Immediately, the Dragon Slayer Sword that was on the ground rose into her hand with full power. She used both hands to firmly hold the sword and raised it into the sky in front of Chaos, who could only helplessly stare at his opponent's attack.
Scorching!!!!!
The sound of the sword slashing into Chaos' body, causing serious wounds. Blood flowed out continuously until Chaos' body began to no longer respond to his commands. Now, there was only pain that spread throughout his entire body.
Mariel gathered all her remaining power and used another skill that she had secretly practiced with her clone that had never been revealed before.
Suddenly, three figures of Mariel appeared, raising their Dragon Slayer swords into the sky in front of Chaos.
"Triple Swords Punishment!" The three figures of Mariel said at the same time and slammed their swords into Chaos' chest until blood spurted out without stopping.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
Chaos' wolf form howled in pain. As the body was about to fall to the ground, Mariel appeared above himself, she used her right fist to slam into Chaos' body once more, for the final attack.
All the dark magic power was all in Mariel's right fist. The fierce and merciless look in her eyes was ready to finish him off in this final attack.
The spark of dark magic was so strong that it was able to kill her opponent. However, she hadn't to do this because her target was Chaos's heart in his left chest.
"You can't handle me!" The voice that shouted back was not Chaos's, but it was like the voice of a demon hidden within his body.
"I'll show you!" Mariel said confidently.
Scorching!!!!!!!!
The power of the dark magic punch struck Chaos' left center of the chest with such force that he spat out blood. Chaos's eyes gradually turned black with resentment. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A mysterious power shot out from the left side of his chest and struck Mariel's body, causing her to be injured.
"Ouch!" Mariel was also spitting out blood, but she still threw her punches at the same spot until they nearly fell to the ground in a second.
"No! It's impossible! I lose to you!" Chaos shouted but his eyes still stared at Mariel with anger.
"Go to Hell! The evil that was in this body." Mariel shouted as she blasted the last of her strength through Chaos' body and towards the heart that was covered in some black liquid within.
*Crash!!!!!*
The sound of two bodies crashing onto the ground until a loud noise echoed throughout the arena. People are anxiously waiting to see who the real winner after this. Mariel or Chaos, who still has the strength to fight.
Suddenly, as the smoke slowly cleared, Mariel appeared, breathing heavily from exhaustion while looking at the body of the Chaos Wolf, who was slowly decaying back into a young man. He was unconscious on the ground and had no further reaction after this.
"The winner of the finals of the Year 1st Swordsman Class is Mariel De Stella!" The referee concluded after checking Chaos's condition and he wasn't being able to get back up and fight anymore.
A loud cheer echoed throughout the field. People cheered for the first female swordsman champion. The sound of insults turned to praise for Mariel's impeccable abilities.
But there was no joyful expression on Mariel's face. She suddenly walked with her head down and walked off the field towards the waiting room, she didn't listen to the referee who wanted her to stay and congratulate her on the victory.
"Are you leaving now? Mariel." the referee asked curiously but she didn't care at all and still walked back to the waiting room.
"Dear! I feel something bad about this. Let's hurry and look at her." Claudia said, sensing something unusual on Mariel's face after she walked into the room.
"Let's go!" Deric replied, quickly stood up from his seat.
"We're going with you." Beatrix and Mania replied. They immediately asked for the way from the other people to go straight to the waiting room of the No. 1 school.
As for Chaos, he received first aid and was slowly taken to a bed and immediately taken to the hospital because his condition was quite worrisome. While being taken out of the competition field, he turned his head to look at the door to the waiting room that Mariel had walked into before and smiled mischievously.
"It isn't over yet! Someday...we will...meet again." Chaos said before falling unconscious.
Mariel returned to the waiting room. After she finished closing the door, she began to tremble, as if something was repressed inside her and wanted to be expelled. She tried to stay conscious and use her healing powers to bring her body back to normal, but it was not successful at all.
"No!...Why?...Ouch..." Mariel said, but suddenly swollen veins appeared all over the body. Her legs began to no longer support the body until her body slowly fell to the ground.
"I used too much power. Ahhhhhh!!!!" Mariel screamed out in excruciating pain and spat out blood until it was all over the floor. The body began to feel numb, blurred eyes, and it was as if something strange was slowly flowing down her own body until she couldn't resist.
"Help Me." Mariel's voice slowly came out until...
Thump!!!
The sound of Mariel's body falling to the floor, and she lost consciousness as blood flowed non-stop from her body.
After this, Deric, Claudia, and Mariel's friends rushed into the waiting room. Mariel's body was found lying unconscious with a lot of blood.
"Mariel!" Deric shouted, rushing to scoop his daughter up in his arms.
"No! My Daughter!" Claudia shouted in extreme shock.
"I'll call a medical team!" Mania said as she quickly ran out of the waiting room.
"It'll be all right, Mariel." Beatrix said, rushing to check on her dear friend with concern.
While everyone was trying to heal Mariel's body, there was something unusual already living in her body without realizing it.
