Bang! While the other four members of their team tried to attack each other either in range or in close combat both Tanks of the team collided with each other.

Since Al has a bigger build and more momentum Terriz lost in their exchange.

​​

Terriz is just a kid and the only thing that makes him a better fighter than some of the adults was his innate strength but it was useless against Al as he also had an innate strength.

Bam! Al was relentless he immediately smashed his huge saber at Terris causing sparks to fly.

Terriz immediately felt the shock coursing through his body and the stage below them cracked.

"You are too green" Al spoke as he pushed his shield pushing Terriz backwards the saber was still pressing down on him causing him to be in disadvantage.

"WATER SERPENTS!!!" Lisa shouted from the back as she raised her hand up and a burst of Mana came out of her body.

"We won't let you!" Erz and Iria shouted at the same time as they shot multiple arrows at her since Terriz was still being pushed by Al so he can't block the attacks for his team.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots could be heard as Star started shooting but her shots were too little compared to the arrows shot by both Erz and Iria.

The attack they used were one of their skills called Rapid Shot they would shoot 3 arrows at a time that means there were 6 powerful and fast arrows that were flying towards Lilia who was defenseless since she was in the process of summoning her Water Serpents.

Just as the arrows as about to reach Lilia a figure appeared in front of her and destroys the arrows.

The person was Haze he used one of his skill called Shifting Step this requires a lot on his leg and concentration as this skill is an instantaneous skill of some sort.

Since Mira was being blocked by Reias as they were lock in a mental battle that two became incapable to join the battle as if either one of them lose that means defeat for the whole team as the winner could join the battle unhindered.

Herish was guarding Mira with numerous vines that could continuously regrow as long as she exist.

Haze then saw there was another arrow incoming but this one clearly felt different but since it was only one Star shot it but the arrows actually moved like it had a moment and of it's own avoiding the shot.

Haze expression changed so does Star as she started blasting but the two elves were also shooting and like before it was their skill Rapid Shot.

Star puts down her gun as she raised her spear and slams it into the ground.

Numerous glowing spears started raining down as they blocked the arrows so does the unique arrow.

Haze charged towards the two elves but just as he got closer there were numerous arrows that rains down on him what's more there were vines growing underneath trying to bind him.

Argh! Haze let's out a shout as dark energy blast off from his body as he spun creating a crescent dark energy that repel all arrows and cut off all vines.

Roar! another loud roar could be heard as Terriz who was being suppressed by Al became berserk but Al also let's out a roar his roar was different from Terriz roar that sounded like an elephant his is like a dragon.

Terriz became bigger as veins bulged from all over his body as his complexion became red while Al on the other hand started growing scales and little dragon horns started growing out of his forehead.

Bang! The two tanks released a mountain like pressure as the stage beneath them finally broke.

The people that were viewing were wearing strange expression they clearly felt the pressure and aura of the two that even creates a blast in the air but they were left unharmed.

What's more there was a time when arrow that was repelled by Haze flew towards them but something blocks it from flying out of the stage.

"Like I said you are too green!" Al shouted as he jumps back causing Terriz who was still resisting his force before to feel unbalanced.

Bam! Al then hits the side of his shield before smashing his shield in Terriz's shield which was moved into the side.

Bang! Terriz fell down but Al continue his attack he raised his foot and stomps down repeatedly.

The cracks on the pavement started spreading as Terriz was getting embedded deeper into the stage no matter how he resist he couldn't stand up.

Chinbu in the side kept roaring in anxiety as he wanted to join the battle and rescue his companion but Terriz clearly told him no matter what happens he was forbidden to join the fight.

Osal was roaring in excitement as he felt proud seeing his master take down his opponent.

Aqua on the other hand was guarding against Chinbu if he tried any intention in trying to help Terriz then she will take him down.

Lilia on the other hand finished her chant as three Water Serpents appeared besides her a look of excitement is in her face as she felt confident that they could take the other side down now.

Suddenly a magic circle appeared below her it was big enough that even Star was in it's active circle.

Lilia's expression changed as she tried to retreat Star on the other hand already blink away from the circle.

Numerous thick vines appeared below Lilia as she was still a step too late she was binded by the vines and she clearly felt her Mana was being drained in a rapid speed.

Star charged towards Lilia intending to rescue her but she was stopped by Iris's barrage of flaming arrows all of them were elementals.

Haze on the other hand was being stalled by Iria as arrows after arrows flew towards him stopping him from helping his teammates.

The audience clearly knew what the result of the battle and most of them were disheartened.

Most of the audience were members of the group in the Archinviel Branch so they hope that Haze and the other's would win but seeing the present situation it was a lost hope.

And just like what the viewers thought Haze and the other's lost no matter how they counter attack they just fell short and because the intensity of their fight the whole stage was destroyed.

After the battle Shadowslash silently approached Lisa and without anyone noticing he grabs her and use his hand to cover her mouth.

Both of them then disappears while everyone was still discussing about the fight.

Lisa on the other hand was extremely shocked that someone manage to capture her without anyone or even her noticing.

When she saw it was Shadowslash she heaved a sigh of relief while also sighing in depression she could imagine what would happen if he was her enemy.

She then remembers the strange phenomenon happening in the stage where even though both groups were fighting with great ferocity none of their attack manage to get out of the stage.

She then realized that Shadowslash was actually watching the whole time and the one responsible for such strange phenomenon.

She couldn't help but shudder in fear all the viewers were either elite fighters, those that trains hard or have great potential and yet not one of them manage to noticed Shadowslash viewing the battle with them.

If Shadowslash were to silently started picking them one by one then everyone will only noticed after there are only some of them left.

This is considered one of the most perfect assassin skill that should be learned but Lisa knew that it was an innate ability no matter how human imitates a monster's ability it is far from perfect as monsters innately knew how to use their abilities via bloodline.

While she was deep in thought Shadowslash asks "Why did those two group fight?"

He was still confused as to why the two group fight especially knowing Lilia was one of the first member of the group and she is tight with the other members of the group especially Al as they are considered childhood sweethearts back in the village.

Lisa was spook out of her thought and jealousy towards Shadowslash's innate ability she then quickly answered she was embarrassed to be so neglectful towards Shadowslash.

"It's because Al and the other member of the group that came with us to Dragon Kingdom was telling their exploits in the travel they also bragged about their participation during the war against the orcs" Answered Lisa.

She continues "After that Haze and his group decided to battle with Al's group their intention was to show that they also did not neglect their training"

"Of course each one of them has different reason to participate in the battle earlier of course they also have something in common"
