Everyone has already filled the place and Roland could be seen in the arena, yet josh was nowhere to be found, and it has already been some minutes since the Gray left to get him.

" Why is it talking too long for him to show himself here or is he scared of facing me" said Ellis as he turned to look around in search of josh.

" Don't be ridiculous, there is no way he will be scared of facing you" replied Ray as laughed at Ellis word.

" If he is not, then it's alright if you are the only one that is scared of me" said Ellis as he burst into laughter.

" Just you wait until I made my breakthrough" replied Ray in rage as he walked out to meet up with the leader and vice leader of the squad.

" Sir is it possible if I place my bet now" asked Ray as he walks up to the vice leader.

" Sure go ahead, so how many contribution points do you wish to bet" replied the vice leader with a smile.

" I would like to bet two thousand contribution points on my friend winning the duel" said Ray as he handed his tag over for the vice leader to deduct the point.

After deducting the point from his tag, the tag was handed over to him.

" Hey kid if you don't mind, can you be the bookmaker between leader and I" asked the vice leader as he smiled at Ray.

" Sure thing sir" replied Ray with a bow.

" That's good, here is mine stack for the bet" said the vice leader as he handed a storage ring to Ray.

Not wasting any time, the leader also hand his storage ring to Ray before sending him away.

" Hope you won't get too angry when josh beat the living hell out of that kid" said the vice leader as he chuckles a little.

" Let's keep watching then, the show is about to start anyway," replied the leader with a smile.

Right after the leader said those words, josh finally walk into the arena with his sabre hang on his shoulder as he made his way to the arena.

" Finally he came, after keeping me waiting for so long" said Ellis happily as he left his sit and head to the stage.

Walking into the stage, they both stare at each other without saying a thing until the announcer begin with the introduction.

" Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here again to witness an amazing match between the members of the Raging Dawn. To my left is josh the fearless sabre freak of the Raging Dawn and to my right is Ellis and I believe you all make be familiar with him by now" said the announcer.

Taking a look at the two of them and signal for them to get ready before saying.

" Now let the fight begins".

Swinging his sabre to the side, josh chuckle before saying.

" It took you long enough to come out of seclusion, I thought you have already given up on facing me".

" I have been out of seclusion for some days now and was told to take some days off, how can I miss the opportunity to earn big like this one," replied Ellis as he put on his knuckle busters.

" Since you are ready for some beat down, I hope you won't blame me for going extreme," said josh as he began to Channel energy into his sabre.

" Please be my guest, the more extreme you get the better " replied Ellis as he takes on a fighting post.

" As you wish" said josh with a gritting teeth as he pushed from the ground at an incredible speed.

Swinging his sabre as he got close to Ellis, taking a step back, Ellis tap the side of the sabre lightly as he changed the direction of the attack while making josh follow the same direction of the sabre. Seeing that he is opened, Ellis sent a punch at him as he targeted to deliver a strong hit to his stomach only for josh to deflect the punch with his spare hand.

" Nice try, but that won't work on me" said josh mockery as he sent a kick at Ellis

Bringing his hand forward to defend his face against the kick for him to feel a pain in the stomach, looking down at the fist that was pressed hard on him Ellis smile slightly though in pain. " Look like I fell for that cheap trick of yours,, but it is quite unfortunate that it didn't do much to me".

" We'll have to see about that" replied josh as put more energy on his sabre as he swing it down to cut Ellis down.

Raising his hand high to shield himself from the attack before throwing a punch at josh only for his attack to be counted by a kick. After successfully fending against Ellis attack, Josh pull back as he stared at Ellis coldly.

' How can his punch be so strong' thought josh as he felt pain surging from his leg.

" Looks like both of them are equally matched" said the vice leader.

" I wouldn't say that, since it is quite clear that Ellis has not started taking the fight serious, and you can tell by how his friend is cursing at him" replied the leader as he pointed to Ray who was no longer sitting down as he was busy throwing a curse at josh.

Josh begins to take Ellis seriously after having a taste of his punch, sending attack after attack at Ellis only for him to either dodge to the side or blocked the attack with his knuckle busters and whenever Ellis wanted to make a strike he will distance himself from him.

" Come on josh you can do better than just running away from a few hit, I thought you were so confident with yourself a moment ago so why change now that you have not even taken one of Ellis punched" said Ray when he saw josh pushing back.

" Shut up and watch how I beat your friend up" josh yell back at Ray.

" How can I sit back and watch as you make a run for it," replied Ray.

Ignoring Ray, josh was already angry to begin with and now that Ray has added to the anger, he lost it as he charged forward while disregarding his safety as he begins to slash his sabre at Ellis not giving him the time to attack, but it didn't take long before a punch land on his stomach which sent him flying backward before spitting out a mouthful of blood as he landed on the ground.

Fighting through the pain, josh wipe the blood from the edge of his lip before charging at Ellis, who seen to think that the fight is over. Sending a horizontal slash at him which slightly strike his shoulder only for him to adjust himself as he tries to avoid being hit as he ended up with only a little scratch as he pulled back a little to get out of josh attack range.

" To late for that now. Sabre shadow strike" yelled josh loudly as he lunched a technique.

The moment those words left josh month, countless sabre shadows begin to head toward Ellis and left with no choice but to defend himself from the attack, Ellis unleash the golden quack technique hurriedly as he stood his ground while protecting his head from being hit by the sabre.

Receiving the hit from all the sabre lad to a raise of dust that covers half of the stage and everyone has to stand up to see what the outcome will be except for Ray who has a cunning smile on his face as he continues to look at where Ellis was standing.

" Lets see if you will be able to get out of this one without coming out unharmed," said josh as his breath became heavy.

" So what do you think the outcome will be" asked the leader to the vice leader as he continue to watch.

" Simple that kid will not be able to walk out of josh sabre shadow since he is not familiar with it which will then lead to his lost" replied the vice leader.

" I can see that you don't have a clear understanding of those that cultivated their body too well," said the leader as the turn back to look at the match.

The dust begin to settle down, and everyone watches could see a small pit that was made from the attack and standing in the pit was Ellis whose clothes were now ragged with blood flowing out of the injuries he sustained during the attack. Walking out of the pit with a smile on his face, Ellis spat the blood that was on his mouth in the ground as he chuckles before saying.

" Alright, I have to admit that was really exciting. Hope you can entertain me more".
