Glad to see that you are becoming more considered about your melodrama Mrs Hamilton hummed to herself And also good to see that your message to the Earth isnÆt changing This still isnÆt enough Æ
In a way RandidlyÆs image was the equivalent of a solar eclipse In reality nothing significant had occurred But the alignment of RandidlyÆs image in the sky casting a shadow and stifling all the images in the surroundings made the people of Earth reflect on their circumstances
Welcome Randidly said with remarkable lightness for someone who just stood calmly before a massive crowd in silence for almost ten seconds For the final match IÆll personally be the referee I want the participants to be confident that they can unleash their full potential during the fighting without fear of injuring their opponents
Then Randidly looked directly over at Alana DonÆt hold back YouÆll regret it
A ripple ran through the audience they mulled over why Randidly would engage in such an obviously targeted message Paolo and Kayle seemed to take it in stride simply waiting for the match to begin But Mrs Hamilton couldnÆt help but laugh Looks like Alana wonÆt take her time to warm up in this match ThatÆs unfortunate
So Randidly glanced between the two teams Begin
And that was that
While Kayle and Paolo lowered their stances and raced forward an enormous orange gold flower bulb inflated around Alana She was the epicenter the fuel and the spirit of an expanding inferno Then that bulb was ripped in twain by two enormous shimmering ivory wings The shattered remnants began to smolder with gold fire as those wings beat a few times and blew the debris into the surrounding area like the glowing remnants of a burned down library AlanaÆs image of austerity surged to the fore quickly gaining traction on the backs of those fleeting sparks She spoke with the mandate of a higher power and spread its influence Even for Mrs Hamilton it was becoming difficult to look directly at AlanaÆs person
But in the face of that surging holy energy Paolo laughed raucously Yes It needs to be like this Show me how much you eh
In the middle of his wild challenge the immense body of Wivanya smacked into the marble in front of him Her sapphire eyes shimmered her scaled body twisted with her enormous clawed hand held at the ready behind her And in the second as Paolo recognized the threat Wivanya whipped her claw downward and sheered through the arena like she was digging up loosely packed dirt
Paolo rolled to the side barely avoiding the strike And then his hands sprung upward as he caught the treetrunk thick tail that smashed at his chest He grunted in took a few steps backward but Kayle was already spinning lightly in the air above Wivanya with his long knives raised
You need to be faster Mrs Hamilton thought reprovingly You should know that by now
Sun Strike
Even from across the arena Alana raised her spear and thrust it calmly forward from the core of the spreading inferno A golden light that was only vaguely spear shaped ripped forward and smashed into Kayle His long knives whipped out in an X shape dispersing most of the power but he was still knocked away from Wivanya
The First Revelation Advance
To follow up Alana beat her wings and surged forward with golden orange flames raging in her wake Compared to the size of her wings her actual body was easy to miss in the ambient light she released But she shot across the arena like a shooting star so quickly that an average humanÆs eye even empowered by the System wouldnÆt have the time to make a wish
But Paolo and Kayle were not average at all Paolo heaved on the tail in his arms shocking Wivanya when he possessed enough Strength to jerk the several ton dragon a half step forward Then he hopped up onto WivanyaÆs tail and then leapt up in a beeline to intercept Alana
Yet Wivanya was just as quick extending her left wing and simply whacking Paolo back toward the ground Kayle spun his knives across his fingers while he floated mid air his eyes locked on Alana You decided to go after me first Thank you
Alana didnÆt respond at all seeming to simply be an avatar of light and holiness as she surged forward In a move that seemed so natural that it appeared slower than it actually was she once more thrust her spear forward and unleashed a wave of golden light Kayle reversed his grip on the knife in his left hand and used it to nudge the thrust to the side while spinning
He narrowly dodged the thrust but Mrs HamiltonÆs acute senses picked up that his leather armor began to sizzle from the proximity of the attack AlanaÆs powerful image warped the surrounding air with a holy energy that was followed immediately by a blast of heat But then KayleÆs right hand surged forward in counter attack aiming a thrust toward AlanaÆs heart
The light around Alana intensified Fire roared around her as she beat her wings a single time
Puh
Before KayleÆs could respond Alana unleashed a brutal cross counter with her non dominant hand that smashed into his cheek and knocked him into the ground Kayle bounced once uncontrollably before he spun and righted himself He glanced down at the knife in his right hand it appeared the entire blade had melted before it could reach Alana
KayleÆs face spasmed in an expression halfway between a confused frown and an excited smile but he had to quickly toss the melted blade to the side and produce another as Alana descended down toward him like an approaching cataclysm
Paolo flipped up onto his feet and glared up at Wivanya His fighting spirit churned the air around him He jabbed his finger forward If you block my way one more time
He abruptly pulled his hand back as the massive jaws of Wivanya clicked shut right in front of him Paolo was taller than the height of WivanyaÆs jaws but only by a small amount Still that transgression by the Frost Dragon Broodmother appeared to be the last straw Paolo clenched his fists and yelled Haymaker but was tossed sideways when WivanyaÆs tail whipped into his waist from an unexpected angle He skidded across the arena and dug quickly into the ground between the arena and the stands
You Paolo became incensed and the crowd seemed to respond to the shift in his mood They roared their shared fury detesting the constant interference by Wivanya PaoloÆs image gradually began to push back against AlanaÆs slow spread of the golden inferno For her part Wivanya cooly regarded Paolo while flicking her tail back in forth with all the contempt of a cat considering its human roommate Then Wivanya turned and rushed to assist in AlanaÆs fight against Kayle
Paolo growled and sprinted back across to the arena while Kayle gritted his teeth and spread his own image out In a vast sea of darkness a single line of light separated the two sides As Alana and Wivnaya both surged toward him he slashed forward aiming for the space directly between himself and Alana Vast Divide
Then he turned around and pounced toward Wivanya
Alana calmly raised her spear Her wings beat again throwing off ivory feathers that sizzled and caught fire from the inferno around her Sun Strike
Her entire right arm seemed to ignite in her trademark gold and orange flames as her spear surged forward toward the boundary line that Kayle had drawn That spear encountered that divide and space seemed to screech in pain Like a buzz saw brought against sheet metal there was a great grinding noise and sparks shot out in every direction
But ultimately Alana took a step back with a look of surprise on her face The lapping waves of fire that she released lost a bit of their bite Mrs Hamilton didnÆt miss the smirk on KayleÆs face as he ducked underneath WivaynaÆs tail and rushed in to wound the dragon Paolo vaulted back onto the arena and moved to strike at Wivanya from behind
When another few whips of the tail proved ineffective Wivanya howled toward the sky Absolute Frost
There was a strange keening followed by the howling of the wind as the rapid temperature drop around the dragon churned through the surrounding air A wind picked up across the whole of the stadium Paolo was immediately blanketed by several inches of ice and crashed to the ground where his new popsicle form skidded forward several feet But then he appeared to use brute Strength explode out of his chilly prison in a burst of mist Once more he moved forward to continue his assault Meanwhile Kayle cut forward with his long knife Sever
