''It's me, or this fight is becoming more and more intense. Remind it's not a deathmatch, isn't it?" Maria asked because what should have been a simple sparring match at the beginning had now evolved into this; this fight had already left the scope of sparring.
Alex shrugged his shoulders; his eyes were focused on the stage; he wanted to see how much those progressed. While the fight might be intense, he didn't mind because it would let them see how strong those two had become. Most importantly, if the fight became too heated, Alex could easily step in and stop them; he was capable of doing that.
''Those two know each other very well. I wonder how many times they fought to understand each other this well?" Noire could not help but get curious as she watched the two fight; the more she watched, the more fascinated she became; if they were this strong without too much training, then how strong they would become under her? Especially that white-haired girl.
'I would like to train her. She is like an unpolished gem. She will become a deadly weapon once trained. I will ask for master's permission later. Hopefully, he would accept.' Noire quickly made a plan to have Alice train under her. She was more compatible with her among the two; while she could also train Gracier, Alice would produce more results if she was under her than Gracier.
While Noire was making plans, the fight continued and evolved beyond normal, as Maria feared.
Both Alice and Gracier stood facing each other; they wiped away the blood dripping out of their mouths.
''Let's end this fight,'' Gracier said to Alice, who could not be more happy nodded.
''Dragon Mode !" Gracier shouted, and immediately her body transformed.
Boom!
Alex, Maria, Eris, Lilith, and Noire were shocked because they saw such a transformation.
Alice furrowed her brows before suddenly sighing, then she relaxed and body and mumbled something none of those present heard, not even Alex with his enhanced hearing, could hear it.
Boom!
Like Gracier, there was an explosion of mana when Alice used her special mode; her white hair turned dark, her eyes darkened without any white.
The temperature plummeted after Alice's transformation. Alex and others felt goosebumps all over their bodies; there was something sinister about the current Alice, so sinister that Alex felt like she was completely foreign to him. A single black on her forehead, sinister-looking wings behind her back, a tail that resembled that of succubus, sharp nails.
〖Master, be ready to intervene at any moment.〗Silveria warned, and Alex did not take her warning as a joke.
'Sure.' He responded while checking the girls' statuses; Artemia did the same but was shocked by Gracier status.

''Isn't it this cheating? She is more powerful than when she fights me. What is going on?" Artemia voiced her thought, and Alex answered her while looking at the transformed Alice.
''Maybe it's because she is more fired up because she is fighting her rival, someone against she can't lose, unlike in your case, you are her master, she just fought you to prove you how stronger she had become. The two situations are different.''
Alex's explanation convinced Artemia that if in their fight Gracier was at hundred percent, then in the current fight, she was at hundred and twenty percent.
Seeing that Artemia would not ask any more questions, Alex checked Alice's status.

Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly the two moved at an insane speed and threw punches forward.
BANG! BANG! BOOM!
When their fists collided, it resulted in a terrific explosion that sent shockwaves everywhere.
While they were still locked in deadlock, Gracier moved her dragon tail.
Fwoosh!
The dragon's tail cut through the air like aircraft; it was so fast that Alice was forced to use her wings as a shield.
Boom!
She was sent flying but disappeared shortly after; without turning around, Gracier sent a punch behind to intercept Alice, who behind her from a rift.
Puchi!
However, despite everyone's expectations, Gracier failed to land a blow; she suffered an injury. Instead, somehow Alice's tail pierced her stomach from the front.
Gracier felt blood surging forward, but she managed to push it back before exploding the wings on her back, successfully pushing Alice back. Still, the latter immediately use Reality Render, a sword strike capable of cutting across space, an advanced version of Sword Severance.
Immediately when Alice used that move, Gracier knew she would not dodge, at least not completely.
Relying on her instinct, she shifted her important organs before Alice's sword pierced her body; she vomited blood while immediately contracting her muscles to momentarily stop Alice's sword from escaping from her body, thus stopping her for a millisecond; it was all she needed.
Alice knew that she must escape, but before she could, Gracier had already made her move.
''Desolate Land !"
Boom!
There was an intense explosion that swallowed everything forcing Alex and others to close their eyes, and when they opened them again, the stage was gone, turned into desolate land without the once of life, Alice had almost been turned into mummy, Gracier's eyes were unfocused with a hole in her chest, Alex immediately acted.
He appeared in the middle of the two and unleashed his time ability.
''Golden Hour Five Seconds Time Rewind!"
His entire mana was gone in an instant, but he succeeded in bringing them back to normal, but they immediately lost consciousness, their face touching the ground simultaneously.
''It's a draw!"
