Zeyta: "I gotta rest for a minute, my energy is drained from that move."
Kyll: "Heh heh, I commend you all for managing to sever my arm, but what's next I need moreeeeeee!"
Zeyta's voice was laced with concern. "He's way too powerful."
Kayge: "He's out of our league, for sure."
Sol: "Doesn't matter. Let's finish him this time. Let's go for his head. I'll fight him head-on. Kayge, look for openings while we fight."
Kayge nodded, and Sol continued, "Everyone remember, we are Anointed. We must start focusing on using our Anointed abilities more. We all stand in the gap for our predecessors, so instead of showing fear, we must show why we are chosen. Keep using your SM moves."
The others nodded in agreement.
Aza's voice was laced with determination and anger. "You're right, Sol. No more holding back. I'm sorry... he killed my best friend. I'm gonna KILLLLLL HIMMMMMMMM!"
Aza charged forward, consumed by rage. "SM-3, Jael's Hammer!" she shouted. She starts charging up a whitish-yellow aura.
(Fwooooooom!)
Ark watched nervously, thinking to himself, "She's going to try to hold both hammers. That's going to take too much of a toll on her. She could possibly break her arms lifting that much weight, plus she's using too much of her spirit gauge just to increase strength. She's going to kill herself doing this."
Rouke noticed Ark's concern. "You seem worried, Ark."
Ark nodded. "I am. She's acting out of anger. Her first hammer already weighs 500 pounds, and that's with two hands. The second hammer is Jael's Hammer, which her Anointing flows through. I built her first hammer to be lighter and take less of her spirit energy, but the second one is raw power from Jael's Anointing."
Ark paused, reflecting on his past work. "I was able to condense some of her Anointing mixed with my own Anointing in the first hammer... Wait, her old hammer... my Anointing... back then... Orzen... the... I think I figured something out."
Rouke's curiosity was piqued. "What's going on, Ark?"
Ark whispered urgently, "Don't look in my direction; I don't want Genjo to see, but I'm working on something..."
A brilliant, whitish-yellow aura burst forth from Aza, and a magnificent Elemental Hammer made of light coalesced in her other hand. The crowd was stunned, their eyes fixed on the awe-inspiring spectacle.
Aza, fueled by rage, charged forward, both hammers at the ready. She swung her left hammer with incredible force, but Kyll dodged it with ease, grabbing her wrist and delivering a swift punch to her armpit. The blow sent a shockwave through Aza's body, causing her to drop one of the hammers.
Undeterred, Aza swung her remaining hammer with all her might, striking Kyll in the back. However, Kyll quickly regained his footing and used his foot to push Aza's hammer back, sending her spinning out of control.
As Aza struggled to regain her balance, Kyll seized the opportunity to strike. He jumped over her, grabbing her shoulders and catapulting himself forward. He appeared on the other side of Aza, his blade at the ready. With a swift, deadly motion, he attempted to slice through Aza's defenses.
However, Sol's sword flashed through the air, blocking Kyll's attack mere inches from Aza's skin. Kyll charged forward, his eyes blazing with fury.
Aza, her left arm still paralyzed from Kyll's earlier attack, struggled to lift her hammer. Kyll sneered, "Your arm is weak from what I did to you earlier."
Aza's response was a blood-curdling scream, and a brilliant blue aura erupted around her. The sound of her left arm cracking echoed through the arena, and she lifted the hammer with a newfound strength.
With a fierce battle cry, Aza charged toward Kyll, her hammers at the ready. She struck Kyll with incredible force, but he grabbed the hammer, using his left arm to hold it in place. With a swift motion, he threw the hammer into the air and charged toward Aza.
As Kyll attempted to punch Aza at close range, Kayge jumped into the fray, taking the blow straight to the ribs. The sound of cracking bones echoed through the arena, and Kayge's body flew into the arena wall, his mouth bleeding profusely. He slumped to the ground, knocked out cold.
Sol swung his sword with precision, sending two blue slashes hurtling toward Kyll. However, Kyll dodged both attacks with ease, his flexibility allowing him to weave and bob around the slashes.
Sol's expression turned grave. "Aza, listen! You're causing us to become weakened. I know you're angry, but you'll kill us all if you act recklessly. You're breaking the plan, please calm down. Kayge is knocked out now; we must stay focused."
Aza, her determination unwavering, picked up her hammer, now holding both once more. "Sorry, Sol, but he must be defeated by me. I'll lift my hammers to the sky!"
Sol's voice was laced with concern. "No, Aza, think before you act!"
Aza swung both hammers to the ground with incredible force, causing the arena floor to lift and a massive shockwave to erupt. The sound of the impact was deafening, and a brilliant white boom shook the very foundations of the arena. The crowd was blinded by the intense light, and when their vision returned, they beheld a colossal wall barrier, risen from the arena floor like a titan.
Sol's eyes widened in awe. "She created a whole wall... how?"
Zeyta's voice was barely above a whisper. "She's insane..."
Aza's voice boomed from the other side of the wall, her words carrying clearly over the barrier. "HEY, SOL... ZEYTA! If you jump over the wall, expect to be met with my hammer. Just watch from the big screen as I defeat Kyll!"
The crowd was stunned, their minds reeling from the sheer scale of Aza's attack. Sol's expression turned worried, his voice laced with concern. "Aza, you can't be serious. We can't just stand by and watch."
Aza's response was unwavering. "You interfere, you die by me. Let me honor Zesh. Plus, this was supposed to be a 1v1 fight anyway. Give me ten minutes, please."
Sol shook his head. "No, I refuse."
Zeyta's voice was calm and measured. "Let her fight, Sol. We will not interfere. If God has a plan, it will happen anyway. So, if she dies, this is her time to go. We must acknowledge what she is asking. She wants to avenge her best friend. If something were to happen to Khayjin, I would fight for him. Till death."
Sol's expression remained concerned. "This is not a wise decision, Zeyta. We watched Zesh die this way."
Zeyta's voice was calm and measured. "I know, Sol, but it's the warrior in her. She's already a fighter, and so was Jael. As you said earlier, trust in your Anointing and use it more. Maybe her Anointing is made for her to leave it all on the field."
Sol nodded, seeming to understand Zeyta's perspective. He turned his attention to Aza, who was still standing behind the wall. "Hey, Aza, you have ten minutes."
Aza's face broke into a determined smile. "Thanks to both of you. Win or lose, I have to go all out for Zesh."
Kyll sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "It's impressive that you try to take me one-on-one, but you do know there's no hope for you here? I can sense your Spirit gauge draining every minute. You can barely hold those two hammers up. You have no chance against me, little girl."
Aza's determination remained unwavering, her voice steady and calm. "You're trying to provoke me. When I first used these hammers, I was more on the angry side, but my spirit has calmed me. I'm relaxed; my only goal now is to kill you here. And if I can't kill you, at least I can damage you so the rest of my team can finish you off."
Aza's eyes blazed with determination as she continued, "This is a point to prove to myself, not to anyone else. You're a coward, and I'm going to send you back to the pits of hell."
"SM3-BERSERKER MODE!"
Her white aura turns completely yellow.
With a fierce battle cry, Aza hurled both hammers ahead of her, unleashing the yellow aura which propelled the hammers forward with incredible speed. The air seemed to shimmer and distort as the hammers flew toward Kyll, their trajectory unstoppable.
Kyll smirked, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he raised his Cursed arm to block the incoming attacks. The hammers slammed into his arm, but he held firm, his Cursed energy absorbing the impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Kyll attempted to throw one of the hammers back at Aza, but its weight proved too much for him to handle. The hammer fell to the ground with a resounding crash, its massive weight sending shockwaves through the arena floor.
Kyll's eyes snapped back into focus, and he was met with a terrifying sight: Aza stood right in front of him, her two hammers at the ready.
"Sm2-Sonic Strike!" Aza shouted, unleashing a devastating attack. Both hammers swung left and right, their trajectories aimed squarely at Kyll.
Kyll raised his hands, blocking both hammers with a resounding crash. However, the impact was so immense that it exploded the ground beneath him, sending his body halfway submerging into the Arena Floor.
Seizing the opportunity, Kyll swiftly drew one of his swords and slashed at Aza's leg. She jumped out of the way just in time, avoiding the deadly blade by mere inches.
Undeterred, Aza launched a spinning attack, both hammers whirling around her like a vortex of steel and fury. Kyll expertly parried one hammer with his blade, then dodged the other with an agile sidestep.
Kyll countered with a powerful roundhouse kick, striking Aza with incredible force and sending her stumbling backward. He quickly grabbed her by the shoulder and slammed her into the ground.
As Aza struggled to get back to her feet, Kyll hurled two blades at her with deadly precision. One blade struck her arm, while the other was blocked by her hammer.
Kyll charged toward Aza, his eyes blazing with Rage. He unleashed a drop kick, but Aza caught his leg in mid-air and slammed him into the ground.
Enraged, Aza furiously pounded Kyll with her hammers, the blows raining down on him like a tempest. However, Kyll broke into an incredible dance-like movement, dodging and weaving around the attacks with an almost supernatural agility.
As Aza paused to catch her breath, Kyll seized the opportunity to strike. He threw a knife at her, but she blocked it with her hammer once more.
Aza charged forward, her hammer glowing with a fierce blue aura. "Charged Hammer Attack!" she shouted, unleashing a devastating blow that threatened to crush Kyll beneath its immense power.
Kyll grinned, his eyes flashing with excitement. He extended his blade, its tip aimed squarely at the hammer's trajectory. The two forces collided in a shower of sparks, the impact sending shockwaves through the air.
Kyll slid up the hammer, his movements fluid and almost ethereal. He appeared in front of Aza, his foot flashing out in a lightning-fast kick that struck her dead-on in the chest. The impact sent Aza bouncing across the ground, her body rolling uncontrollably.
Aza struggled to her feet, her mouth bleeding, despite her injuries, she charged forward, her spirit energy flaring up once more. However, her hands trembled with exhaustion, and her spirit gauge was perilously low.
"I'm using way too much energy," she thought to herself, "but I will keep going."
Aza launched another attack, but Kyll was ready for her. He appeared in front of her, his foot planted firmly on her chest. Aza's eyes widened in shock.
"You're too slow," Kyll sneered. "All that power, but no speed. It's embarrassing. I can see your next move from a mile away."
A purple aura flashed around Kyll, and he unleashed a devastating kick that seemed to flash with an otherworldly energy. The impact sent Aza flying backward, her body crashing into the ground.
As she flew through the air, Aza hurled one of her hammers toward Kyll's legs. Kyll jumped into the air, avoiding the attack with ease. However, the hammer Aza had thrown earlier began to swing back down, its trajectory aimed squarely at Kyll.
"SM3-Full control", Aza closed her hands, her fingers clasped together in a vertical motion. The two hammers, one above and one below, began to move in on Kyll, their trajectories converging in a deadly scissors-like motion.
"Sm-2 HAMMER EXPAND!" Aza shouted, her voice echoing through the arena.
Kyll's eyes widened in shock as Aza's hammers began to expand, their shapes morphing into massive, anvil-shaped weapons.
"How is this possible?" Kyll thought to himself, stunned by Aza's sudden display of power.
Vojim's eyes widened in awe. "How can she expand her hammers to that huge size? This girl is phenomenal!"
The crowd gasped as the hammers clashed, seemingly hitting Kyll with incredible force. However, Kyll's laughter echoed through the arena, leaving everyone stunned.
Kyll exclaimed, his voice dripping with amusement. "You almost got me! You can even control your hammers with your hand now; that's impressive. But not enough, once again!"
Aza's determination remained unwavering. She appeared behind Kyll, swinging her hammer with both hands and striking him with incredible force. The impact sent Kyll flying across the arena.
Aza pursued him, her hammer at the ready. She struck him again, sending him bouncing off the ground. Then, she hit him once more, this time toward the air. As Kyll hovered in mid-air, Aza created another hammer above him, its trajectory aimed squarely at his body. She clapped her hands again, attempting to crush Kyll between the two hammers.
However, Kyll's reflexes proved too quick. He turned his body diagonal, placing both blades back-to-back. Then, he extended them, causing both hammers to halt mere inches from his body.
Aza's face contorted with effort as she squeezed her hands, her veins bulging with strain. She attempted to crush Kyll, but his blades continued to push the hammers back.
Kyll seized the opportunity to counterattack. He jumped out of the way, avoiding the hammers by mere inches. The two hammers clashed, their impact sending a shockwave through the arena. The sound of the collision was deafening, a loud, piercing ring that seemed to shake the very foundations of the arena.
The crowd covered their ears, wincing in pain. "Our ears! Our ears are in pain!" they cried out in unison.
Kyll landed on the ground, his ear bleeding profusely. "Dang it, that hurts! I can't hear out of my left ear. This girl..."
Aza appeared in front of him, her hammer at the ready. However, Kyll was relentless. He unleashed a devastating twenty-hit combo, punching Aza all over her body. The blows rained down on her like a tempest, each one landing with precision and deadliness.

Finally, Kyll ended the combo with a powerful roundhouse kick. Aza dropped both hammers, her body stumbling backward in stunned silence.
Kyll approached her, his blade at the ready. Aza's aura had faded, her spirit energy depleted. She was on her knees, her body drained of all strength.
As Kyll loomed over her, his blade poised for the killing blow, he spoke in a voice dripping with contempt. "You were a worthy opponent, I'll admit that. But all your talent is wasted. You're just a foolish little girl who can't even control her own power."
With those words, Kyll raised his blade, ready to deliver the final blow. Aza's fate hung in the balance, her life mere inches from extinction.
Aza smiles I repent for all my sins father God take me in your arms.
