“Well, since you had me use my trump card, at least entertain us a little!” shouted Jet as he grabbed his spear.

“I really wanted to hide this until the individual matches, but it seems I have to use it now.” said Raven as he looked at his arms, which visibly changed.

Raven had used [Dragonic Scales]. When used on normal people, it would create scales for them, but if used for dragonmen, it would further strengthen their scales until the point of nigh-impenetrableness.

The cosmetic change would make it a far darker tone of black and a metallic shine to it. His body area wasn’t left unattended too.

His claws started glistening as well, with the help of [Steel Claws].

As for Jet, he was playing with his spear as if he was getting used to it.

Then on the other side, Vivian had a bored expression. “If you want to die, then come quickly.”

Raven almost lost himself, but regained his senses when he was patted by Jet. “Here we come.” he said calmly as the two rushed at her.

[Lava Monster]

Lava shot out from her hand and fell in front of her. It then started becoming humanoid and resembled an elemental.

It swung its giant hand at the two.

*Split!*

*Split!*

*Split!*

*Split!*

Then the two started splitting and soon became six.

After a little pause, the monster attacked again. But now it threw a bit of lava that made it up.

Its opponents circled it around and attacked its master. As for Vivian, she was ready.

Just when Jet was about to reach her, she used a skill.

[Gravity x 10]

“Guh!” Jet fell to the ground and dispersed into shadow. Vivan couldn’t help but shout “What the hell?!”

The real Raven and Jet were standing almost unbothered.

[Shadow Absorption]

With this, Raven became vulnerable for a while.

[Summoning: Chains of Imprisonment]

The chains that covered Raven were now attacking Jet.

*Clack!*

*Clack!*

*Clack!*

*Clack!*

Jet was fending them off easily, but they didn’t break nor did they let up. The lava monster attacked him from behind

“Ah, it’s annoying.” said Jet as he used [Reverse Polarity]

Then it happened.

Everything started lifting up floating in the air as if they were in space. This was logical, because the gravitational balance had been lost or erased.

The chains weren’t an exception, as they only dangled like seaweed in the water.

[Lava Rain]

A mass of lava gathered around Vivian’s hand and would have rained upon the ground if they didn’t fly up like earth.

She controlled them manually and attacked Jet, who easily blocked it with thrusts from his spear.

Vivian was visibly exhausted after forcing the lava to move in an unorthodox manner.

[Summoning: Bird of Prey]

A giant brown bird appeared from a summoning circle before Vivian and flapped its wings.

It didn’t move, but just floated. Actually, it did move, but it was nowhere similar to its normal speed.

Jet then started hysterically thrusting his spear, raining Vivian and her minions with air bullets comparable to real ones.

The bird soon dissipated, and the same could be said for the lava monster as it was left a formless puddle of lava floating in the air.

Suddenly, everything started dropping.

Jet couldn’t use it for long, so he decided to release it after destroying her summonings.

“Was that all?” asked Vivian with a cute giggle.

“I’m a gentleman.” said Jet as he turned around.

The smile turned into a grin as she created a mass of lava in front of her hand and fire it at Jet.

*Splat!*

The lava stopped as if it hit a wall. In fact, it was a wall.

Jet was covered in a brown Aura, which specialized in defense.

He then turned his head towards her and said with a smile “You should attack him while you can.” Then the brown aura around him dissipated, which Vivian who quickly turned her head towards Raven didn’t notice.

“Yo.”

As soon as she heard that, she felt as if she was hit by a speeding car in the abdomen.

She started coughing up blood.

“Although I’m a feminist, the stage only has warriors on it.” he said with an innocent smile while he grabbed her by the collar as she was about to fly out of bounds.

He was covered in blue Aura, which specialized in speed.

Raven uppercut her with fists covered in lighting, making her fly up a few meters and grabbed her when she fell down.

What he used was [Paralyze Armor], his opponent’s body would be gradually paralyzed with each hit he scored on them.

He then head-butted her face with his and her nose was almost broke in.

Raven then proceeded by slamming Vivian’s head into the concrete.

Although the audience was quiet, they only nodded in response.

[Gravity x 20]

Although the gravity multiplied, Raven was seemingly unbothered by it.

His left hand then turned grey, and he punched her with it continuously.

She could feel her magic going out of control and soon she completely lost any form of resistance.

Vivian was now a prey waiting for her demise.

She wouldn’t usually be as weak as this, but thanks to Raven’s [Mana Disease], she couldn’t use her magic. And thanks to the continuous hits with [Paralyzing Armor], she couldn’t move her body either.

…

“Whew, I blew off some steam.” said Raven as he looked at Stein.

‘This kid is crazy.’ he thought, but it came out as “Do you want to become my apprentice?”
