This was just too sudden after his legs cut off Kuro was about to go full monster mode when the clone instantly draws his sword and was about to cut off his head when suddenly the two girls blocks it's two swords.

The two girls were instantly cut by the sword qi on the clone's attack but since it was just a small part of Shadowslash's sword qi it only leaves small cuts on their arms.

​​

Boom! Kuro exploded with violent flames then it rose up into the sky Shiro manage to save the two girls before they were enveloped by the flames.

The clone also retreated it then jumps high as it slams it's sword to the stage releasing sword qi in them it looks like Earth Splitting Slash that Shadowslash invented.

The attack run towards Kuro and a shriek was heard as the monsterfied Kuro appeared on the audience view.

The only difference in him is his missing spider legs it seems that he was still affected even after transforming.

The monsterfied Kuro let's out an enraged Shriek when he saw the clone he held a grudge to it for cutting off his legs.

Seeing the monster charging towards it the clone did not retreat but advanced.

Passing through the monsterfied Kuro the clone quickly charged towards Shiro.

The audience couldn't help but be confused as to what had happened Shadowslash then spreads his spiritual sense and shows everyone what the result is.

They then saw Kuro's head flying high up in the air.

The audience couldn't help but shiver they saw that Shadowslash only lifted Kuro out of the stage.

The audience knew that if this was a death battle Kuro would have died.

Shiro saw that Kuro was being lifted out of the stage he was stunned by this he didn't thought that Kuro would be eliminated that easily.

Seeing that the clone was already charging towards him Shiro was feeling bitter.

Since he couldn't defeat the clone in his human form he also needs to transform too bad Kuro was quickly dealt with if not the clone would have faceca barrage of attacks right now.

"Kinji rareta tekunikku: Akuma no henka" (Forbidden Technique: Demonic Change).

Boom! Just like Kuro, Shiro also exploded this time it wasn't a pillar of flame but high pressure water.

Roar! A roar of a dragon was heard as a water dragon slams itself towards the clone.

The clone cut the water dragon into two but as the water scattered in it's surrounding the number on its head rises into 8 as an ear piercing cry was heard.

"Thunder Condor! Use Thunder Fury!" As Leo's voice disappears the Thunder Condor flying above the clone started releasing numerous thunderbolts around it.

Shiro hurriedly retreated thankfully for him Kuro serves as a lesson for him so after he transformed he quickly use his ninja technique and together with Leo's quick response they managed to damage the clone.

The technique he used was the Suiton: Suiryū no Hōkō (Water Style: Water Dragon Roar).

With his monsterfied form the water dragon was enlarged and strengthened but even with this it was cut in half by the clone.

When the smoke finally dispersed the clone was still standing there but it's life was now down to 25%.

The members of the Archinviel Adventure Group was thrilled but suddenly the clone disappears in front of them.

They instantly put their guard on just as they thought that the clone was about to attack one of them Leo shouted from behind.

"Thunder Condor!!!"

Hearing his shout they immediately raised their head and saw that the clone was up in the air while the Thunder Condor was being lifted by Shadowslash spiritual sense.

Since the clone is on midair Shiro quickly attack so did the others.

"Suiton: U~ōtātaigā!" (Water Style: Water Tiger).

"Hanabira no surasshu!" (Petal Slash)

"Hanabira no surasshu!" (Petal Slash)

"Mad Dragon Baring It's Fangs To The Heaven!"

"Moon Piercing Throw!"

The clone managed to slashed the attacks of the two girls and barely dodge the spear but the attack of Shiro and Leo landed on it.

Boom! As the clone received the attack it was thrown towards the arena's wall and once it slammed into the wall it sounded like an explosion occured.

Shiro attack again even without knowing the true situation is but his instinct was telling him it was now over yet and the sense of danger he was getting Increased causing his monster side to shiver

"Suiton: Suiryū no Hōkō!" (Water Style: Water Dragon Roar).

The others saw this and was startled they had thought that Shiro was going out of control but when they saw the frightened look at his face their expression also changes as they also joins him in attacking.

Leo leaps and smashed his saber into the stage as he shouted "Mad Dragon Slash!"

The two girls on the other hand used the same technique as earlier the Hanabira no surasshu.

Shun on the other hand went to pick up his spear.

Suddenly when Shun duck to pick his spear a powerful sword qi just passed through above him.

The sword qi travels towards his members upon sensing the powerful sword qi the rest of his members looks grim.

The two girls steps up and started dancing in perfect harmony suddenly a large beautiful lily plant blooms in the stage as it covers all of them.

When the sword qi slams into the lily plant it started cracking before bursting into pieces the two girls on the other hand spit out blood simultaneously.

"Suguremashita Suiton: Shio no shibuki!" (Superior Water Style: Tidal Splash).

A tidal wave slams into the sword qi finally dispersing it.

When they heaved a sigh of relief they look in front of them and saw the clone beating down Shun.

They were about to help but it was all too late Shun was eliminated.

They all look to the clone with grimness in their eyes that's when they saw its lifebar and excitement rushed through them.

The clone's lifebar was now incredibly low to the point that a couple of hits they would be able to finally defeat it.

The four of them looks at each other and they saw seriousness in them.

Suddenly Leo charge towards the clone his plan is the same as the plan of his leader and that is to hold the clone down and let's the others bombarded them with their attack.

The clone also charge towards Leo as it's speed was incredibly fast.

Leo threw his saber towards the clone as the clone deflected it with it's sword.

Leo then leaps and holds the clone's arms preventing them from slashing him his grip was incredibly tight knowing he shouldn't let the clone go.

Ths clone slams it's head at Leo creating a bamming sound seeing that he was still not letting go it kick him repeatedly.

The clone's attacks weren't light so Leo started spitting out blood but he still grits his teeth and wouldn't let go of it's arm.

"Suiton: Suiryū no Hōkō!" (Water Style: Water Dragon Roar).

"Saigo no Dansu: Yuri ga saku!" (Final Dance: Lilies Bloom).

"Saigo no Dansu: Yuri ga saku!" (Final Dance: Lilies Bloom).

Boom! With that the clone was defeated the expression of the remaining members of their group ease up.

If it weren't for the fact they wouldn't truly die in this tournament they would never be able to defeat the clone.

They could be even renamed as the suicide squad as their plan involves one member sacrificing his of herself so that the others could hit the clone.

With that the Archinviel Adventure Group passed like The Supremes other than their strange method they showed how powerful they are.

The next group that was going to fight was the Peerless Sword Warriors which have low possibility of winning.

But if their weaker members act like Leo and the leader of the Archinviel Adventure Group then they still have a minimal chance of winning.

Just as the Peerless Sword Warriors was about to enter the stage Rafael raised his hand.

Shadowslash nods at him indicating he to say what he wanted to ask.

"Lord Shadowslash could we choose what kind of clone we wanted to fight?" His tone was extremely serious since he wanted to fight a clone just like earlier a swordsman clone.

Shadowslash nodded and said "Yes, technically you could do that but the power of the clone would be enhanced"

"So would you still choose this kind of option?" Hearing this Rafael looks at his members and sighed as he shook his head.

He knew for a fact that there are only two members of his team that he could count on and that is his sister and his friend Zerf.

As for the rest throughout the competition they are nothing more than numbers just to add up and make the group qualified to join the competition.

Knowing what he is thinking the other 4 members of their group clenched their fist.
