"Water Dragon Tidal Torment" Kayosha then chanted a spell turning her right hand into water, She then extended it towards to Shizen.

Shizen manages to dodge Kayosha attack but unfortunately Kayosha was still determined to grab Shizen again.

With Shizen distracted from Kayosha's multiple attempts and Shadow currently captured with Kayosha's water chains, Yuki then fires the arrow from her bow releasing it with high speed causing it to pass through the water wall freezing it solid.

Shadow struggles to escape the water chain that Kayosha chanted on him unfortunately for him the ice arrow that Yuki fired is heading towards him with immense strength and speed.

"Shadow!!" Shizen yelled, He was shocked on how sync both Yuki and Kayosha were. There timings and their coordination were flawless.

The ice arrow was about to hit Shadow when suddenly...

"Nature Dragon Bark Scale" Shizen then chanted a spell covering his left hand with tree bark as he quickly dashes in front of Shadow.

He then tries grabs the ice arrow using his left hand catching it directly. Unfortunately for him the arrow was still active and it slowly starts to cover his left hand with ice.

Shizen immediately throws the ice arrow back to Kayosha before his entire left hand was completely covered in ice.

"Water Dragon Tidal Sphere" Kayosha then chanted a spell creating a water sphere around her.

The ice arrow then hits the water sphere freezing it solid trapping Kayosha inside.

Shizen's left hand was unfortunately as even though it was covered in scales made of bark, his hand was covered with wounds from frostbite

"Kayosha!!" Yuki yelled

"Shizen!!" Shadow yelled, He then covers his entire body with shadows allowing him to escape the water chains.

"Your hand..." Shadow muttered as he looks down on the ground after seeing the serious injuries on Shizen's left hand.

"Don't worry about it" Shizen exclaimed.

"Have you forgotten about my ability" Shizen added.

The wounds on his left hand slowly then began to heal, Shizen's ability is known as "Nature's Bloom" it heals all his injuries as long as he's expose to sunlight.

"I should be just fine, Just focus on the match" Shizen stated.

"Ice Dragon Blizzard Strike" Yuki then chanted a spell gathering a tremendous amount of Ice Dragon energy to her arrow.

"Shadow Dragon Phantom Sneak" Shadow then chanted a spell creating an enchantment around himself turning him into a shadow disappearing from the battlefield field.

Yuki then immediately jumps upward to the vine walls looking around the area to see where Shadow will pounce and attack.

"Where is he?.." Yuki muttered as she looks around with her bow ready to shoot the spell.

The shadow under Yuki turned darker than usual and Shadow came out of the shadow surprising Yuki.

"Shadow Dragon Phantom Claw" Shadow then chanted a spell gathering Shadow Dragon energy in his two hands creating a claw-shape figure made of shadows

Shadow's attack then hits Yuki knocking her off the vine wall to a nearby tree, but before Yuki's back hits the tree she manages to fire the arrow in her bow and it's heading towards Shadow.

Shadow jumps upward allowing him to easily dodge the arrows but the ice sphere on the ground cracked releasing a wave off water towards Shadow.

"Shadow Dragon Dark Cloak" Shadow then chanted a spell turning his body into a shadow allowing the water to pass through him.

He then lands on the ground next to the vine wall but unfortunately water came up from the ground forming chains that quickly wraps his body completely.

"What the-" Shadow yelled as he struggles to remove the water chains again.

"Water Dragon Tidal Torment"

A voice was then heard coming from inside the water sphere and a wave of water was released from the ice sphere.

The wave of water then hits Shadow's head trapping his head inside of a water sphere.

The ice sphere was then shuttered revealing that Kayosha turned her right hand into water extending it in order to trap Shadow's head.

Kayosha's body was almost completely turned to water with only a fraction of her body still remained normal.

Shadow couldn't breath, He's head was trapped inside water sphere and no matter what he tries the sphere continues to wrapped his head slowly drowning him.

"Nature Dragon Floral Scythe" Shizen then chanted a spell and a green scythe made of Nature Dragon energy appeared in his right hand.

He quickly dash towards slicing of the link between the water sphere in Shadow's head and Kayosha's arm.

The water sphere in Shadow's head was instantly destroyed and Shadow heavily breath as he was so close from fainting due to Kayosha's bind.

Kayosha's hand returned to normal but something was different there was a watery light green mark inside of Kayosha's watery arm.

The watery light green liquid then slowly began to spread in Kayosha's right harm, It didn't bother her that much until she heard Yuki's voice.

"Kayosha get that green liquid out of your body, That's paralysis poison" Yuki yelled and immediately after hearing her partners warning she immediately tried to purify the poison in her right arm.

Unfortunately for her she wasn't able to purify the poison on her right arm, Shizen then took this opportunity to launch a counter attack at Kayosha using his scythe.

He then strikes a swing using the scythe in his hand but unfortunately Kayosha manages to dodge the attack by stepping back a certain distance.

Shizen quickly goes after Kayosha with another attack "Nature Dragon Floral Vine Bind" Shizen then quickly chanted a spell and vines appeared from the ground grabbing Kayosha's legs making her unable to move.

With Kayosha binded he then launches another attack and this time Kayosha can't escape.

"Water Dragon Tidal Sword" Kayosha then turns her left hand into a water blade and uses it to blocks Shizen's attack.

But unfortunately the clash between Shizen's scythe and Kayosha's water blade causes a light green liquid to enter Kayosha's left arm.

Unlike the light green liquid in Kayosha's right arm, The green liquid in Kayosha's left arm began to spread faster and faster.

"What's going on... Why is it spreading faster" Kayosha muttered as she tries to move her left arm but unfortunately with the posion vastly spreaded in her left arm it was difficult for her to even move it.

"You turned your left arm into a water blade if I am not mistaken" Shizen exclaimed.

"That's the reason of your down fall" He added.

"What do you mean.." Kayosha muttered

"Back then during your practice match against Kasai, I've observed something about your fighting style in that form of yours" Shizen stated.

"You turn your body into water and uses it as spell or even weapons as you fight" He added.

Kayosha was then shocked as how observant Shizen was, It was from back then before the Grand Shōtotsu even took place Shizen already planned a counter for her.

"Unfortunately it's a bad match up if you're up against me" He stated.

"My Elemental Weapon secretes a paralysis poison whenever it touches a living organism" He added.

"I see... So that's why the posion spreaded quickly" Kayosha muttered.

"Even though you turned your left arm into a water blade, It's still your left arm" Shizen stated as he then withdraw his scythe.

He then strikes his scythe again but this time it was aimed at Kayosha's left thigh and like before it spreaded in the paralysis poison once again.

"It's over you're unable to move" Shizen stated as the scythe in his hand disappeared.

"Haru would kill me if I poison your body even more" He added causing Kayosha to giggle.

"Look at you being all worried about me, Are you really that scared of my sister" Kayosha teased.

"If I spread more poison in your body it might go into your lungs and it would become a serious problem" Shizen replied.

Both of Kayosha's hands were covered with the paralysis poison and her left leg was now covered as well making it hard for her to even move.

"She won't kill you... Besides you're going to fall after this-" Kayosha muttered and after hearing what Kayosha just said Shizen immediately tried to withdraw.

Unfortunately Kayosha's hair turned into water forming water chains binding Shizen's hands and feet immediately.

"Yuki now!!" Kayosha yelled.

Shizen then immediately looks at Yuki with her Blizzard bow gathering tremendous amount of Ice Dragon energy.

"Thanks Kayosha!!" Yuki yelled.

"Ice Dragon Blizzard Blast-" Yuki then chanted a spell and the Ice Dragon energy Yuki gathered earlier was transferred into the ice arrow.

Yuki was then about to fire the shot at Shizen but a voice was then heard

"Oh no you don't" Shadow yelled as he came out from the ground.

"Shadow Dragon Phantom Claw" Shadow then chanted a spell gathering Shadow Dragon energy in his two hands creating a claw-shape figure made of shadows.

He then slashes slashes the ice arrow from Yuki's Blizzard Bow unfortunately it created a huge explosion knocking both him and Yuki a certain distance.

Shadow was knocked back behind Shizen and slammed into the arena wall, He's body was covered with frostbite and injuries.

Unlike Shadow Yuki was knocked back into a nearby tree without any frostbite with minor injuries.

"Nature Dragon Bark Scale" Shizen then chanted a spell covering his left leg with bark scales.

He then quickly spins around to free himself from Kayosha's bind and he then immediately kicks Kayosha in the stomach knocking her back to a nearby true.

"Shadow!!" Shizen yelled as he immediately ran towards to Shadow.

"Kayosha!!!" Yuki yelled as she immediately ran towards Kayosha.

Both Kayosha and Shadow were knocked out, Shadow was knocked out because of Yuki's attack and the frostbite while Kayosha was knocked out because of Shizen's attack and the paralysis poison.

The spectators were shocked seeing a double knockout, The tide of the match from a 2v2 became a 1v1. The outcome of the match was now decided by the two siblings.

Both Yuki and Shadow glared at each other, Both of them knew that their partner's sacrifice must not be in vain.

"Yuki before we fight I suggest we fight at the other side of the arena" Shizen stated shocking Yuki.

"It would be disaster if one of our attack hits Kayosha or Shadow" He added.

"Lead the way" Yuki replied and both Yuki and Shizen then climbed up the vine wall and both are know at the other side of the Arena away from Kayosha and Shadow.

"Nature Dragon Floral Frenzy" Shizen then chanted a spell and the ground then began to shake.

Large vines then came out of the ground below them wrapping the vine wall covering it with a thick layer of vines.

"There with that reinforce we can go all out without worrying for the both of them" Shizen stated as he readies himself to fight against his sister.

"I see so that's how it is" Yuki muttered as the tone of her voice then change, from the sweet and innocent voice to a cold and harsh one.

The environment around them began to freeze, The trees, The grass and the river was slowly covered in ice.

"I see... So you're going all out as well" Shizen muttered.

"I haven't seen this side of you ever since the last time we fought" He added.

"Dragon Sage Secret Art: Overgrowth Bloom" A mysterious green aura then surrounded Shizen's body
