7 Chapter 7

A hour passed. it was time. The young knights entered the stadium, as everyone cheered them on. Since females went first, the males went into a preserved stand. The 16 females stood on the stone arena floor, the first match was about to be called. There was also a purple barrier to prevent the contestants to go further than out of bounds.

"First round!"

The referee called,

"Katsure Isako! Versus Yanaha Hozaku!"

They both went and stood in front of each other, ready to start.

"Begin!"

"You got this. Hopefully so do i."

Tahara thought to himself.

Katsure and Yanaha jumped backwards to have space.

"So you're the daughter of Ares, Correct?"

Isako spoke to Yanaha.

"Correct,"

She responded as she called her weapon.

"I see... Pity. That means you lose."

Katsure was not a Demi, but she was a elf. Elves are versatile and very powerful at all sorts of magic.

"You're wrong,"

Yanaha disagreed

"I will win, for the sake of this world. Speed boost!"

She lunged at the Elf with her Rapier and swung, But Katsure dodged. It was like she was never even there.

"That's your speed boost?"

She chuckled.

"I haven't even cast a spell yet. Disappointing, daughter of Ares!"

Katsure threw her Axe into Yanaha's back.

"Power disabling. That is my weapon's first ability."

She slowly walks towards Yanaha, who was grunting in pain trying to pull it out.

"Don't bother, Only the user can pull out their own weapon."

But Yanaha pulled it out, disintegrating the blade of the Axe.

"My ability, is manipulation."

Yanaha said.

"Any MP I can manipulate as long as it's in my MP range, so I disintegrated the blade. We channel our MP into our weapons, did you forget Katsure?"

Katsure smacked her teeth in disappointment. her plan to end it quickly didn't work. She called her broken axe into her hand, and the blade regenerates itself.

"Impressive. I misjudged you, Yanaha. But don't think this means you won!"

She rushed Yanaha and swung her blade, But with a swift movement Yanaha grabs the axe with her prosthetic arm.

"You don't seem to understand what I said earlier,"

said as she glared deeply into Katsure's eyes.

"MP Manipulation is my ability. You said you pitied me earlier. Do you still do?"

Katsure angrily pressed her axe more into Yanaha's hand, but then Yanaha actually crushed the blade and shattered it.

"Beam Frenzy,"

A fast casting beam came from Yanahas other hand, which was pointing towards Katsure.

It wasn't powerful enough to be fatal, but enough to push Katsure off the arena.

"Arrrg!"

Katsure was almost off the edge, but then she said,

"Harmony."

The blast instantly was dispelled by Katsure. Her MP was 3025, Now it shot up to 5000.

She had a new weapon, a golden sword which the blade curved a bit upwards.

"I expected I'd have to push myself this far, Daughter of Ares. Prepare yourself, this is my true power."

Yanaha decides to use it as well. Her true power.

"This is the first time im actually using it, but i know all about it. Maybe you should prepare yourself, Katsure."

"Big words, Show me!"

"Vanquisher."

Vanquisher was a katana much like Tahara's katana, only the blade had a turquoise tint.

"Come, Katsure of the Elf race."

"Interesting,"

Katsure responded.

"Very well, Yanaha!"

She held her golden weapon up and the air and said,

"Eclipse."

A orange energy orb appeared above the sword, the she flung the attack at Yanaha.

"Heavyweight manipulation. If i were you daughter of Ares, I'd dodge!"

"Strength Burst."

Her eyes glowed blue, the arena cracked beneath her, and her sword glowed just as much as her eyes did. She leaped at the orb and sliced through like it was cake.

*Slash!*

"D-Damn you!!!"

Katsure summoned spirit-like goblins with wings made out of her own MP, and sent them at Yanaha.

"Slice Frenzy."

Yanaha preformed a defensive sword spell. Multiple slashes could be heard, and all the goblins were slayed at once. Suddenly, Katsure was already behind Yanaha.

"It's over! I've won!"

She swung her golden paralyzing sword, but then,

"Blast Of Angelic Anger."

A powerful blast was casted behind Yanaha, which instantly shot Katsure out of the arena like a bullet. It almost went through her heart, but the spell reversed the injury.

It was indeed over, but it was Yanaha who won the match. she fell out the air out of exhaustion, and her weapon disappeared.
