"Alright, that's enough, I've been itching to fight," Sirus said as he stretched out his fingers
"What do ya say? Eros" Sirus asked as he glanced at the spear-wielding man
Eros glanced at Sirus and jumped onto the stage
"Haha, always so quiet," Sirus said as he jumped onto the stage
"Can you guys hurry up, and get off the stage?" Sirus said as he glanced at Hermes and Apollo
"Mhum" Apollo hummed in agreement as he released Hermes and walked off the stage
Hermes wore an annoyed expression, he scoffed as he jumped off the stage
"Finally, this might get messy so.." Sirus said as he put up the membrane and walked to his side
"So Eros and Sirus? they should probably be the same rank, the middle stage of peak rank three" Enopy thought as he rubbed his chin
"We haven't fought in such a long time this should be fun," Sirus said as he breathed a sigh of relief
Eros raised his spear to then envelope it with water, which made the spear rotate at fast speed, which he threw at Sirus
Sirus' hand turned bright red as he sent out a burst of flame's the sent the spear back at Eros
Eros caught his spear with ease, he then made serpent's made of water come out of his back
The lamp post sized Serpent's slid towards Sirus
Sirus created a circle of fire around himself and held his ground
the Serpent's would be destroyed but the water that made their figure put out the fire multiple times
Sirus got tired of remaking the circle so he deployed his Phoenix wings and flew into the air
Eros showed no evident reaction but the serpent's stopped chasing Sirus and began to fuse
Despite all the attacks, Sirus sent at them a train sized serpent was still created
The serpent grew wings, but that took away from its body causing its body to be smaller
It flew into the air and spat boiling water at him
Despite Sirus being a fire element, his skin was still vulnerable to heat that was not his
He sent a guizer of fire at the guizer of boiling water, they stayed in a stalemate for a few seconds, but Sirus eventually blasted through the head of the serpent, leaving the ground souled in water
Sirus used a technique that made the stage turn hot
First, the water evaporated then, the floor melted, the steam in the air created a huge smokescreen
Suddenly the steam seemed as if it was being sucked towards something
Soon a wisp of steam was seen entering the tip of Eros' spear
Sirus made a sword of fire, he dashed through the air as his sword and Eros' spear clashed
"We're at a stalemate once again," Sirus said as he jumped back
His body was covered in fire, and his hair turned into flames, his eyes turned into white holes" and his mouth turned into jagged orange teeth"
The stage turned orange and soon after, it began to melt, Sirus dashed at Eros, but Eros was suddenly covered in a shield of water, it acted as a bubble around him
Eros was suddenly covered in a blue light, and soon the bubble compressed around him and created a light blue armor, his staff was covered in the same blue armor
"You took so long," Sirus said in a shrill and menacing tone
He had been waiting for Eros to transform
They sprinted at Each other Eros' spear created a bunch of afterimages as he tried to stab Sirus
Sirus deflected the spear with a burst of fire, that he made come out of different parts of his body whenever the staff got too close
Eros jumped back as Sirus used to burst at his feet he turned into a blur, as he then appeared behind Eros, he placed his palm over his back and shot out a burst of fire
The fire passed right through Eros, but Eros had turned the hole into the water and healed himself
Sirus tried to get away but suddenly Eros turned his body into the water and wrapped around Sirus, causing the fire around Sirus to extinguish, Sirus seemed as if he was covered in solid magma
It seemed as if Eros wanted to suffocate Sirus
"Aye, doesn't that count as a win?" Oregon asked
"yea but who won?," Zeno asked
"Isn't it obvious, look Eros is literally all around Sirus" Elding said as he shrugged his shoulders
"But maybe Sirus is touching Eros chest we just can't tell," Zeno said as he smoldered
"We have to see a hand touching the opponent's chest, then we'll know the winner," Oregon said
"Ok fine," Elding said
"That works," Zeno said
"Bloop, bloop" bubbles started to form on Eros is was obvious that he was boiling
Suddenly the water around Sirus jumped off and Eros returned to his human form
He spit out blood, while Sirus reignited his fire
Eros had blood spilling out his eyes, instead of wiping the blood off, he allowed the blood to spill on his spear
The spear absorbed the blood
Eros pointed it at the ground and he blasted into the air, he then shot water into the air, the water floated in the air, soon the huge pool of water turned into 12 blood red spears
He sent them at Sirus, one by one, Sirus Easily cut through them, he slashed at Eros and red slashes ran through the air
Eros displayed his agility he did splits, cartwheels, etc just to dodge the slashes
Sirus tried to beam at Eros but the water leftover from the spears held his feet down and prevented him from using burst or flying away
Soon Eros sent more red-colored Spears at Sirus
Sirus again easily cut through them he was getting slightly confused, he knew that Eros was not the type of person to drag out a fight, But Eros continued to send blood-colored spears at him
Soon enough that calm pattern stopped, as Eros controlled the water to cover Sirus, it took the shape of a tall and thick, spear, that pointed Towards the sky
Sirus heated his body up to high temperatures, but instead of the water boiling it turned into blood-red shards of glass, this glass was attracted to Sirus and stabbed into his skin
"We have all advanced while you stayed the" same, same techniques, the same rank…well…at least you matured…slightly," Eros said as a hole in the water opened up, it lead to Sirus' chest
He stuck his hand in, but a burst of fire spewed out forcing his hand to retract
"You're only hurting yourself," Eros said as he healed his burnt hand
"I'll just make you forfeit," he said while Sirus showed a displeased expression
Eros made dark red pencil-sized pins, he drilled them into Sirus' body, but Sirus despite his pained expression, he showed no signs of forfeiting
Eros made another pin, he poked Sirus' neck vein "admit defeat" he said slowly
Sirus kept his stubborn attitude and said nothing
They looked each other in the eyes for a few minutes, the world seemed as if it went still
"Huuu, I forfeit, and besides I technically won earlier," Eros said as he allowed the huge spear to turn into water, while he jumped off the stage
