"Jude from the second division has been disqualified!. We would now move on to the quarter-finals." The announcer stated.
"Are you certain about this?" Cassy questioned Jude.
"Yes, I will just hold them down; after all, Tahir is the only one who will make it to the final".
"You noticed, right? The main leader exudes an insane aura". Cassy commented.
"Now it is time for the big three from division II to face Arcane, a three-time champion.
The first match is Kris vs Arcane.
Please come forward".
Kris knew his opponent was bad news from the moment he stepped on stage. The aura around him was strong and dense. He immediately went into offensive mode.
Gathering the fireball in the sky, it crashed directly into the stage. He used every one of his MC cells to create that final attack.
Kris was completely exhausted from his heavy breathing. When the dust settled, arcane could be seen standing tall and gallant.
Swiping his hands, three invisible swords strike Kris, throwing him off the stage due to force and momentum. There were three deep cuts on his chest.
Esha was one of the healers who rushed over to Kris. Kris had already passed out as he was being carried and was receiving immediate treatment.
" As usual, arcane won with a single shot.
Kris is out of the game; however, we believe Kris has tried hard enough to survive this long the next matchup is Zahra vs Arcane. Please come forward, both of you." The announcer's familiar voice echoed through the microphone.
Zahra was not prepared to make the same mistake as Kris. She quickly switched to her ice palace.
When her ability was fully activated, Arcane asked her a question.
"How can you defend an attack that you cannot see?"
As soon as the question left his mouth, the same invisible slash that Kris received struck Zahra. However, her ice armor prevented the cut from being too deep.
The strength of the invisible slash struck Zahra in the chest as she was flung off stage.
When she attempted to stand up, she collapsed and vomited blood.
You have an internal injury; I recommend that you sit down and get treated. Arcane spoke while working away from the stage.
"Arcane has claimed victory once more.
I believe we are all aware now.
The finals would feature the devil versus the arcane.
Please stick around; we will be taking a short break."
"Now, who do you think will win? I put my money on the devil, I know arcane is powerful, but this devil dude remains calm despite his comrade's defeat. He seemed to be confident that he would win." One of the world's leaders, Lucius, said.
"My bet is on arcane; he has battle experience, given that his father is a world leader, and he has been training since a young age. "Another world leader named Blue chipped in.
"I will stick with Blue", Faizan stated.
The only female leader known as Bella stated, "I believe I like Lucius' ideas."
"Welcome back from our brief hiatus; the finals will now begin.
The finals will be played under new rules.
The finals are always a fight to the death.
Going out of the ring would not result in disqualification.
A contestant may withdraw from the competition.
You are permitted to use weapons and beast armors.
We wish you all good luck.
Please, the Devil and Arcane should come forward."
Arcane stepped on stage and unleashed his invisible slash, but Tahir dodged it by bending down, as expected. He immediately bent down and used his hands to push himself up, avoiding the large earth slab that had just appeared from the ground.
"You did not really think your stupid skills would work on me? Did you?" Tahir asked arcane.
"That was exactly what I expected from you. But do not assume that is all I have got."
"He predicts my every move; he is very skilled. Anyway, nothing changes; I will slow him down with multiple attacks." Arcane was thinking to himself.
"Is he the same as Kris? I just noticed him using two abilities: wind and earth? Is there more? I believe I will use my inspection abilities". Tahir was pondering.
He is putting his inspection skills into action.
[Name: Arcane Sam].
[Ability: Welder with multiple abilities.]
[Wind, Fire, Lightning, Earth]
[HP:10/10]
[Status:Human]
[Blood Type:A+]
"I see this is going to be difficult," Tahir said as he dodged a large fireball that had just slammed into the ground.
As Tahir moved to the left, Arcane used his speed to slam his punch right into him.
Immediately after the punch, multiple earth slabs and his wind slash were aimed at Tahir. Knowing he would not be able to dodge them all, Tahir took the attack head on, avoiding having it strike his vital organs.
Tahir, who was bloodied, was seen panting heavily on the ground.
"I will give you the opportunity to walk away, simply jump off the stage and give up. Consider this a mark of professionalism for clearing all of my teammates." Arcane spoke while a slew of fireballs hovered over Tahir.
"Are you joking?" Should I just give up? I promised Jude I would kick your ass. I am afraid I cannot give up. At least not right now, or ever. Tahir explained.
"Well, you brought this on yourself," Arcane said, as fireballs rained down on Tahir.
Immediately the fire ball crashed into Tahir. Arcane turned back, believing that was the end of The Devil.
Anyway, one of the world leaders stated, "I believe he tried to get this far."
"I do not think he is dead," Lucius exclaimed with excitement.
"I believe that is the end of the devil; we will count until ten before declaring the winner.
One, two, three, four.
"Please get up, Tahir. "Esha said this as she dug her nails into her hand, causing blood to drip.
Six, seven, eight, nine... unbelievable, the devil appears to be still alive and standing. "The announcer's voice resonated.
The entire stage erupted with excitement as soon as the announcement was made.
"Where do you think you are going? The fight is only getting started." Tahir stated as he used his speed. Moving quickly, he kicked Arcane, who attempted to defend himself by raising his hand to block the kick, The force of the kick propelled him into the air.
