Maruti Vs Ravenna Round 2

Maruti, still unconscious, drifted into a state of Ultra Instinct, a rare and extraordinary power bestowed by her constellation. This gift was so unique that only two known constellations possessed it: the Demon King Aurora and Lord Hanuman.

Even Lilith, who had seen and battled countless warriors, had never truly understood Ultra Instinct. She had encountered the Demon King Aurora only once, during a fierce battle. Aurora, even at his weakest, had been too powerful to kill, forcing them to seal him instead. As for Lord Hanuman, Lilith had never even caught a glimpse of him.

Watching Maruti now, Lilith's sharp mind raced. "What is this? Is this some new type of essence stone?" she wondered, unable to mask her confusion.

Suddenly, it felt as though time slowed down.

Maruti, still in her Ultra Instinct mode, began to use multiple essence stones instinctively. Her body moved on its own, guided by a power far beyond her control. An orange flame erupted around her hair, blazing brightly. Yet, strangely, her hair wasn't consumed by the fire—it shimmered, glowing with a divine brilliance.

Maruti's muscles tensed as she let out a powerful roar, "AHHHHHHHRRRR!" The sound echoed through the arena, shaking the very ground beneath everyone's feet.

Her veins bulged, pulsing with energy, as if they might burst from her skin.

Gasps filled the arena.

She had no idea what she was doing. Her Ultra Instinct state consumed her, leaving her unaware of her surroundings or actions. She stood there, her powerful physique on full display. Her body was flawless, her muscles rippling with strength that made even seasoned bodybuilders look weak. Her skin shone with a divine glow, and her perfect proportions made her look like a goddess.

Her full, round chest didn't sag but stood firm, creating an air of power and grace. She was unintentionally mesmerizing, a mix of raw strength and unmatched beauty.

Princess Ravenna, on the other hand, felt a chill run down her spine.

Her confidence shattered as fear gripped her heart. She stepped back instinctively, her hands trembling.

"N-no! Someone stop her! She has lost her mind" Ravenna screamed, her voice high-pitched and desperate.

For everyone watching, it felt as though Maruti was pulling out her trump card—a secret, ultimate move meant to turn the tide of battle. Everyone had their own trump card, after all. Some might have a berserk mode, while others relied on hidden skills or forbidden techniques.

Still, the tension was palpable, and teachers held their breath, waiting for Lilith's orders.

Maruti's eyes gleamed with determination as she bent her knees slightly, channeling all her strength into her feet. The ground beneath her cracked as she shot forward like a cannonball, a blur of raw power aimed directly at Ravenna. Her speed was blinding, almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

If not for Ravenna standing far from Maruti, she would have already been caught. Realizing the danger rushing toward her, Ravenna raised a trembling hand and summoned her power.

"Earth Vines!" she shouted, her voice a mix of urgency and confidence.

The ground around her trembled violently before crumbling. From the broken earth, thick, towering vines shot up into the air like serpents waking from their slumber.

Each vine was over three meters tall and half a meter thick, their rough surfaces glinting with an earthy glow as they surged forward to intercept Maruti.

But Maruti didn't falter. Her speed didn't slow for even a moment. Her eyes blazed with focus as she clenched her fists, and in that instant, she activated four essence stones at once.

The first, a D-rank Overall Boost Essence Stone, surged through her body, enhancing all her physical abilities fivefold for the next five minutes.

––D-rank Fiery Phantom Essence Stone, gave her an aura of burning flames that danced wildly around her figure.

–E-rank Fiery Thrust Essence Stone

–D-rank Phantom Fuel Essence Stone

The air around Maruti grew suffocatingly hot as she roared with raw power. Without hesitation, she unleashed–

Killer Move—Lion Roar!

Her fist slammed into the air with such force that it shook the battlefield. From her arm, a massive phantom lion, forged entirely of blazing fire, erupted with a deafening roar. Its eyes burned with golden flames, and its mane crackled like an inferno as it lunged forward.

The fiery lion collided with Ravenna's towering vines, instantly setting them ablaze. The thick vines were reduced to ash in mere moments, unable to withstand the lion's scorching power.

But the attack didn't stop there. The fiery lion continued its charge, heading straight for Ravenna. Her eyes widened in panic as she instinctively tried to move back, but the attack was too fast. It roared past her, grazing her so closely that a single strand of her pink hair burned away.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment. Ravenna stood frozen, her hand trembling slightly as she touched her hair. The burned strand was insignificant, but the heat she felt and the sheer power of the attack left her shaken to her core.

But Ravenna wasn't ready to admit defeat just yet. Her fiery pink eyes glinted with determination as she unfurled her whip. With a confident smirk, she declared, "Fine! I'll use my trump card, then!"

At her words, the whip in her hand began to transform, twisting and writhing as it turned into a series of thick, living vines. Leaves sprouted from its surface, and the vines grew taller and taller, expanding rapidly as though fueled by an endless source of energy.

"Let's see how you handle this!" Ravenna shouted, her voice brimming with confidence as she lashed the vine whip toward Maruti with blinding speed.

The sharp tips of the vines shot toward Maruti like piercing spears, their aim unrelenting. But Maruti, unfazed, caught the vines mid-air with her bare hands. Summoning fire into her palms, flames roared to life as she began burning the vines, watching them turn black and crumble into ash.

But just as she smirked in satisfaction, Ravenna let out a mocking laugh. "It's not that easy to burn them completely!" she taunted, a bitter smile curling on her lips.

To Maruti's dismay, the vines began regenerating almost instantly. The more she burned, the faster they grew, as if fueled by the flames themselves. Within seconds, the vines multiplied, attacking from every angle.

Before Maruti could react, the vines coiled around her like living ropes, wrapping tightly around her arms, legs, and torso. She struggled against their grip, but they only tightened, binding her completely in a matter of moments.

Ravenna's smirk widened as she watched Maruti struggle. "I guess you're not so powerful after all!" she mocked, her voice laced with triumph. With a sharp tug on the whip's handle, she poured all her strength into the vines.

Ravenna wasn't weak either. She had consumed multiple strength-enhancing essence stones, and her supernatural power was nothing to scoff at. With a single swing, she sent Maruti flying high into the air, her body spinning helplessly like a ragdoll.

The crowd gasped as Maruti soared upward, but Ravenna wasn't done. Tightening her grip on the vine whip, she yanked it downward with all her might, slamming Maruti's body toward the solid ground with terrifying force.

But just as Maruti was about to crash, she twisted her body mid-air, landing gracefully on her feet as though the attack hadn't bothered her at all. Dust swirled around her as she straightened, her piercing gaze locked on Ravenna.

Without wasting a moment, Maruti poured strength into her arms. With an audible snap, she broke free from the vines binding her. The crowd gasped again, their shock mounting.

Before the vines could regenerate and attack once more, Maruti grabbed hold of them herself. Her muscles tensed as she pulled with immense force, and in a split second, Ravenna found herself yanked off the ground, her body flying upward like a leaf caught in a storm.

It was like an Uno reverse—what Ravenna had done to Maruti just moments ago, Maruti was now doing to her. Ravenna soared high into the air, her grip on the vine whip the only thing keeping her connected to the ground. She clung to the handle desperately, unwilling to let go, but that decision sealed her fate.

"That was your biggest mistake," Maruti muttered under her breath, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Channeling every ounce of her strength, Maruti pulled the vine whip downward with a ferocity that sent Ravenna hurtling toward the ground. Ravenna's eyes widened in terror, her body completely out of control as she plummeted.

"NO—!" was all she managed to cry out before she hit the ground with a deafening BAM!

The impact cracked the earth beneath her, sending a cloud of dust and debris into the air. The sound echoed across the battlefield, silencing everyone who had been watching.

When the dust began to settle, Ravenna lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain. Her head throbbed, and her body ached from the force of the crash. She tried to move, but her limbs refused to respond.

"Now this is getting dangerous!" Lilith's sharp voice cut through the silence. Her expression was grim as she turned to the teachers. "Stop her immediately!"

At her command, the teachers sprang into action, moving with lightning speed toward Maruti. Their swift movements signaled the seriousness of the situation, and it was clear that this fight had escalated far beyond what was allowed.
