Boliver began chanting in an unknown language, and the entire arena was bathed in a deep purple light. From it emerged a phantom wolf, a massive creature of energy that seemed to tower over Zinni. Is it a battle between mages or a mage and a Beast summoner thought everyone. The crowd fell silent, sensing the gravity of the situation.
Zinni took a step back, fear creeping into her veins.
"That's enough," she muttered under her breath, her voice shaking with the tension of the moment. With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and summoned a massive water wave, her magic crashing like a tsunami toward Boliver.
Then, she immediately cast a speed incantation to summon earth spikes to pin him down. But as the spells reached their target, something strange happened.
The spells Zinni had used began taking different forms, unknown to anyone present She had used her trait, Conversion, to change the properties of the element into its most powerful deviant with double the damage. The trait had more perks, which will be previewed in the future...
The earth spikes changed into black sharp stones with magma covering it, while the water wave turned into an avalanche, freezing Boliver completely, taking the chance she released her spikes and in her next attack she prepared a storm spell that had razer edge...
The wolf which was protecting Boliver from magma spikes by taking its damage, dissipated, and from the purple energy, black hands rose from the ground, grabbing Zinni's legs. Her complexion began to dull as if the very life force was being drained from her.
The crowd gasped. Sullivan, Grande, and even Saint-level powerhouses in the VIP room felt the impending danger. They began to prepare, sensing that something terrible was about to unfold.
Zinni's body went limp, her eyes fluttering as she collapsed to the ground, barely conscious. Boliver's face twisted with anger as he broke free from the ice, his eyes unfocused and his body radiating disgust.
He summoned blades of plasma-like energy, that he had been using and this time not one but too many for any current contender to face, and the arena grew tense.
A purple barrier surrounded the VIP room, preventing anyone from interfering.
At that moment, Dravis Dragonborne used his primal energy, shattering the barrier in an instant. But it was already too late.
The plasma blades cut through the air with lightning speed, aimed directly at Zinni, All the blades were already at inch away from different parts of Zinni's body.
The attack was precise, and though the crowd could not see the full extent of Zinni's condition, her breath came in shallow, panicked gasps. It was clear that the battle had shifted from a display of power to something far darker, far more dangerous.
Every being who had reached the pinnacle of power had one second extra to perceive the world than others, everyone present in the room could see the outcome of that attack...
Grande petrified, Zeema held her breath while Sullivan tried using his blink to go beside her and somehow deflect the attack...even Dravis known to be the most powerful entity couldn't help but feel helpless at the moment, when suddenly...
A flash of light moved over from the crowd, in the next second, where they all had thought would be never came as the attack was blown covering the whole arena with purple mist.

Ray who had been watching everything conspiring in front of him couldn't understand the energy even after going through it by minuscule...when Luna suddenly warned,
[That's a forbidden magic, utilized by Fairies to have contact with the Devil world, which is similar to the Spirit realm but completely opposite to it...This....should be stopped immediately Ray]
Luna sounded serious, Ray who was watching the fight saw Life depleting from Zinni, as he could sense it...then he saw Boliver attacking her who was unconscious...Ray using his 'Temporal Cognition' calculated every possible way to stop what was happening, when suddenly he thought of a skill he obtained, 'Time splitting Sword'.
This could help in cutting the attack a few seconds earlier before it could reach the proximity, he focused himself using the eye of limbo, and temporal cognition in unison, leaped off from his face activating his skill as he cut the attack in its past 2 seconds from its root, completely nullifying and erasing the origin of the spell itself.

After the dust-covering arena went off, everyone could see a youth who had silver hair and crystal blue eyes, with a perfect body and attire standing in the center holding a normal steel sword...Sullivan muttered,
"But....just how? Even we couldn't react in time, but this young lad....Ray"
Everyone in the room heard Ray's name as the crowd burst off chanting his name until they saw Ray was a bit angry when he usually has a stoic expression. The crowd went silent again.
Ray with a slight sarcastic smirk, asked in a slow voice,
"Isn't that cheap? trying to attack someone who is unconscious..."
Seeing Boliver not in his senses, Ray went in front of him in a step and tried snapping him into the ground rendering him unconscious when suddenly the energy that had just been cut burst forth all at once towards Ray, Dravis using his dragon steps arrived on the arena but Ray had already taken care of the matter as he once again cut the spell itself...causing Dravis himself to be shocked.
Having enough of Boliver's nonsense Ray kicked him in the gut and he was sent flying towards the opposite side of the arena crashing onto the wall, he finally lay like a dead man.
When Dravis tried to go near Ray, Ray interrupted him telling him,
"I know what you will ask, but I have no intention of answering it."
He said that and went back to his seat.
Everyone present including Sullivan and others had a horrified look as they just saw someone ignored THE Dravis Dragonborne. Lily just laughing in the corner seeing her Father's expression.....
