"Ah... I totally forgot about his energy-draining magic. Seriously, I wonder when is the last time he used it?" said Sky, rather impressed and nostalgic.
"True. He has been limiting his own magic usage due to the backfire effect and seems to totally omit this skill that doesn't really cause any backfire." said Chris, in a casual tone.
Then, all of sudden, the audiences hailed in excitement with some of the ladies went 'kyaahhh!'. The commotion had drawn Sky and the other's attention back to the field where Maria helped C-760 up and supported him in hand to exit the field.
"Ben, can you please check out on Sergeant C-760 for a bit and give him some brief treatment? Maria just went a bit over." Chris asked as he turned around and faced Ben.
Ben nodded and left the waiting area through the exit to the field...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later, near the exit of the waiting area. Chris and K are staring at the field, while hesitating whether they should step out or not, the audience's level of excitement had advanced into a commotion that is so overwhelming that it caused a mini earthquake once again, and this time, it is even crazier, some tiny debris can be seen falling off from the building.
"Ha-ah... Colonel K, it seems like you are quite famous in this place, look at all your fans cheering on you." said Chris, slightly sarcastic.
"Are you sure it's not yours?" said K, equally sarcastic.
And actually, it's the fans for both of them, K had been gaining 'followers' and fans for a long time since he had been in charge for that country, while Chris had gained lots of fans thorough the tournament, it's like a battle of an old famous superstar and a new hot idol.
"Tsk... Seriously, I really thought about ending this really fast, but it seems like we can't do that anymore, at least not with this level of excitement." said Chris, with a shrug.
"Well, I don't mind about that, as long as I could win this match." said K, in a passive-aggressive tone.
"Ah... Don't worry, I will treat you some Uncle Norald's fried chicken after I defeat you." said Chris, slightly provoking.
And with these cross dissing, they stepped onto the field...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kyaaaahhhh! Colonel! Marry me!"
"Chris-sama!!! I love you!!!"
"Colonel! Win this match for us! Sir!!!"
"Your Majesty! We will always be by your side supporting you!"
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"
The bell rang along with those overwhelming cheering.
Slightly disturbed and annoyed by the cheering, Chris applied a sound block barrier while K put up an inverted barrier.
"Ah... Finally, my ears are cleared. So, how should we start this match?" Chris asked, in a casual tone, he doesn't seem to be really concerned about the match.
"Well, maybe we can test out your new sword first." said K, who is equally unconcerned about the match. Then, he pulled out a broadsword from its sheath.
"Ah... What a good idea and what a nice chunky boy you have there. I almost thought that you were going to use that old army sabre of yours again." said Chris slightly amused by K's weapon.
"Actually I had been using this for a few times, just that you didn't get to see it before. Hmm... Your new sword hasn't got its own sheath yet huh?" said K.
"Haha... Sorry about that, I had been too busy these few days." said Chris as he unwrapped his Ten Thousand Bucks Free Gift.
However, just when Chris seems to be unwrapping his sword, he suddenly swung it, cutting open the wrapper and created a sharp magic burst towards K. K blocked that sudden assault from Chris with his broadsword.
"You know, there is a reason for this chunky appearance, just saying." said K, kind of provoking by copying Chris's usual tone.
"Ha! Nice block, but the one just now is just purely a tease, this next move is the real thing."
Said so, Chris concentrated his magic onto his Free Gift and dashed towards K, K responded to his second assault with another proper block. With these second moves, both of them smiled and started an aggressive clashing between swords.
The fired-up pure sword fight continued for about twenty minutes, none of them seems to be concerned about the countdown. Suddenly, Chris successfully landed a hit on K's chest and repelled K a few meters away from him, however, there aren't any injuries on K.
A little bit confused by that, K looked at Chris and saw him playing with the blunt side of his sword. K sighed, he realized that this guy tricked him as he always did. Thinking of this, K can't help but wonder, did he ever win this tricky guy before? Hmm... Maybe not. But this time, he is planning to make some difference.
K retracted his weapon and took off his glove, showing the magic seal on his right palm, without any hesitation he removed the magic seal. As soon as the magic seal is removed, some teal-colored aura can be seen emerging out from K. Chris just watched K doing that without taking any action, or rather, he is excited to see what K can do with his magic seal removed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K's aura had filled the whole field in less than three seconds while the ground of the field started cracking on its own with no sign of significant outer force. Suddenly, lots of spiky parasitic plants burst out from the hard cracked ground and speedily crawled towards Chris...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
