The moment Alex's Chaos Bullet clashed against Leonardo's God's Fall and annihilated it, a true storm of mana began to fill the mini-world creating numerous space cracks, it started to slowly destroy the mini-world, Alex and Leonardo were thrown toward the space cracks due to the big explosion. The explosion shook the whole stadium.
Outside, some of the spectators began to flee from their place as they couldn't support the pressure while some others who were too close, fainted. It was a frightening scene, that left a lot of people shivering.
Due to Freya and Elseria timely intervention, the worst situation had been avoided. Both Alex and Leonardo were gravely injured, especially Leonardo, he lost one arm and one leg while Alex only lost an arm.
It has been decided that Alex was the victor as he fell unconscious after Leonardo.
''Seriously, please do not use such dangerous ability. You can't even control it. Even I almost failed to cancel it.'' Elseria flicked Alex's forehead and said.
Freya sighed while looking at the mini-word who was now ruined. Elseria started treating Leonardo before moving on Alex.
Meanwhile,
''I thought I was going to die. What great fight it was.'' Leon said while wiping away his sweat. His body was trembling not only because of fear but because of excitement. It was An intoxicating brew of fear, awe and ecstasy.
Being what he is, seeing a strong opponent makes his blood boil.
Kuina and Eris looked at Leon with a sigh.
'A battle junkie.'
Shaking their heads, they looked in Alex's direction while thinking how strong the latter is. Indeed, it was a beautiful fight.
''I'm not sure if I can do anything if Alex were to use that ability,'' Artemia mumbled.
''If you can't you will lose,'' Lilith said.
''We will see.'' Artemia said with a giggle.
On the other side, Maria, Sakuya, Luna, and Gracier were feeling happy about Alex's victory.
However, not everyone was happy, Camilla, Kevin, and Dodolus's expressions were gloomy.
Kevin felt the jittery spike of adrenaline shoot through him and his heart banging against his ribs. To hide his fear he said,
''Damn it. When did he become so strong? Or someone is impersonating him?"
Camilla didn't say anything, however, she was boiling inside. She felt a lump in her throat and a tightening knot in her stomach, she was unhappy. How could she not be? Alex beat her brother and her man, while Alex's woman beat her. It was a total defeat.
''Next time we will do better.'' Even Dodolus who rarely speak, talked when he saw the heavy atmosphere.
Camilla sighed and looked in Katherina's direction, the latter eyes were shinning, she was staring at Alex. She was worried about their future.
''Yes, we ought to do better or else-"
''Or else what?" Kevin cut his sister off and asked.
''No, it's nothing,'' Camilla said.
Kevin observed his sister for a moment before dropping the matter, as he knew she won't tell him anything even if he kept asking her.
Sitting on the opposite side was Damien, currently, he was biting his lips in frustration.
'How can I win against someone who can cancel magic? Can he do such a thing?'
'What can I do to win? Attack him before he does? Overwhelming attack?'
Damien ground his molars, then he started to think about different measures to win if he were to face Alex in the next round.
One hour passed. Alex and Leonardo received treatment, they were both resting in the infirmary, no visit was authorized.
''Next match: Damien Constantine Crux Vs Gracier Alexandra Touch.''
Suddenly, Chris announced.
Damien who was lost in his thoughts was brought back into reality by the sudden announcement.
Before he could say anything, he got teleported somewhere, it was a big arena in another mini-world.
Standing in front of him on the opposite side was Gracier.
Looking at her, Damien's face darkened, sighing he said,
''Let's get over it.'' He said. Gracier ignored him.
''Match start.''
The signal to start the match has been given.
Damien summoned his Gift, it was two meters long white spear.
Pointing his spear toward Gracier's face, Damien said.
''Hundred Spears Light.''
A hundred spears made of Light appeared and were shot at Gracier at fast speed.
Transforming Ignia's bracelet into scythe form. Gracier waved her hand scythe upwards and fiercely struck it towards the ground.
*BOOM!!!*
An ear-deafening explosion sounded out as an overwhelming blast of flame from her weapon and body channeled outwards, towards all sides, and even dissipated
the incoming attacks because of the pure force behind her blast.
Craters formed on the ground as shockwaves passed through it, and he felt the ground shaking fiercely.
Clicking his tongue, Damien jump as not to be caught in the explosion, however, the enormous thrusting and explosive force rammed Damien flying.
''What a brute.'' He mumbled thinking about a certain someone. Controlling his body, he softly landed on the ground. He saw how the ground was completely wasted from the blast.
Damien thrust his spear forward a few times, white light was shot out from the tip, and clashed against Gracier's fireballs.
Boom! Boom!
Gracier's brows creased as Damien in front of her disappeared and turned into two, both come attacking her from left and right.
She jumped and spun her body in the air as she hurled her scythe towards Damien coming from the right, meanwhile she shot a fireball at the one coming from the left.
This should have ended them, however, a sudden chill assaulted her, so without thinking she created three flame shields around her body which was still in the air.
Boom!
A white spear made of Light clashed against the flame shield at Gracier back creating an explosion that sent her flying.
''Gah!" Gracier vomited a mouthful of blood while rolling on the ground, few of her ribs have been broken. It was her carelessness that caused her to be injured. For a moment she hadn't considered maybe the two Damien was fake, she two with her attacks she would be able to deal with them.
Unfortunately, the real Damien was hiding elsewhere, after seeing that Gracier had fallen into his trap, he attacked.
Damien wanted to use this chance to finish Gracier for good as he had more pressing matter to deal with (Find a strategy to win against Alex as he was sure to face him in the semifinals.), however, he had not taken his third step before being frozen.
Outside, people were surprised to see Damien stood still, they wondered what happened.
They got the answer, Gracier was standing there after the dust got cleared, she was bleeding from the head, however, it wasn't what the others were looking at.
Currently, Gracier wasn't wearing her eye patch, she lost it when she was rolling on the ground.
Her beautiful heterochromia eyes were full on the display.
''What beautiful eyes,'' Artemia said.
''Indeed. I have trouble looking into them, almost like I'm standing in front of a dragon.'' Lilith said.
''I will not go down so easily you know?''
Gracier said she had already zoomed near Damien.
