The spectators roared wildly, the sound of thunderous applause echoing throughout the arena. "LET'S GO! THE NEXT BOUT IS STARTING!"
Ling and Matthias were carried off by soldiers to the medical station. Ling was unconscious on the spot; Matthias was exhausted and slumped from overexertion.
A General stepped forward into the middle of the arena. "Please welcome the next contestants!"
Ye HunXiao and WeYou Shi came out simultaneously. Immediately, the spectators' cheers changed to shouts of awe and adoration.
"OH MY GOD! Two Heavenly Maidens are fighting!" "Look! Both of them are so beautiful!" "My dream... to be the husband of one of them," said a spectator, his eyes glimmering as he daydreamed.
The General raised a hand. "The fight may now commence!"
Ye Hun gave a formal greeting to WeYou Shi. "Hello, pleased to meet you."
WeYou Shi replied curtly. "Pleased to meet you," she said with a cold nod of her head.
WeYou Shi wasted no time, immediately activating her Omedeus Orcanizel move. A large ancient magic circle of green materialized on the ground beneath her, spinning with furious energy.
"Come forth, win this fight for me!" WeYou Shi commanded.
Slowly, a giant mythical monster emerged from the magic circle—a terrifying hybrid of a dragon, demon, deer, tiger, and gorilla. WeYou Shi took position, standing safely behind her pet monster.
"Defeat her. Do not kill her," WeYou Shi ordered, her voice sharp. "Just make her unconscious."
The mythical monster immediately charged, leaping high into the air, heading straight for Ye Hun.
Ye Hun was undeterred. She raised both hands above her head. A bright, abstract, light-blue magic circle formed. The moisture content in the surrounding air was sucked up like a magnet, gathered, and formed a thick ice-ring shield with a flat square shape inside it. The ice immediately froze as hard as steel.
The mythical monster landed and punched hard right into the center of the ice shield with its right hand. The moment its fist touched the surface, the ice ring transformed into thin threads of ice that spread, binding and freezing the monster's hand rapidly.
WeYou Shi shouted, her voice aggressive. "Don't let up! Punch that ice with your left hand, quickly!"
The mythical monster immediately smashed the ice with its left hand. The second punch shattered the ice into pieces, but its right hand was nearly permanently frozen.
The mythical monster raised both hands like a giant hammer to destroy the magic circle beneath Ye Hun. However, before the hammer could land, Ye Hun suddenly shot out a giant ice fist. The ice fist slammed into the mythical monster's stomach, sending it flying high into the sky.
Ye Hun quickly pressed her palms to the ground. A large ice block instantly formed, lifting Ye Hun high, chasing the monster. Ye Hun then used the Diamond Ice Crystal technique, forming sharp, glittering ice crystals. The crystals formed above the mythical monster, stabbing it as it fell and making it firmly impaled on the arena ground.
WeYou Shi clicked her tongue. "Weak monster!"
WeYou Shi immediately used her best technique. She created three ancient magic circles in white. From them, emerged three primordial monsters: The first primordial monster, the Phoenix Bird. The second primordial monster, the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering. The third primordial monster, the Hellish Dragon-Scaled Snake Worm.
Ye HunXiao would not be outdone. "Three primordial monsters?!" She countered with the Cold Temperature Builder technique. A giant warrior was created, slightly taller than the three primordial monsters. The warrior held a sword and shield, clad in blue ice and gold armor belonging to the King of the Mysterious Ice Realm Kingdom.
Ye Hun used another technique, creating two more magic circles, summoning two more generals of the Cold Temperature Builder as tall as the primordial monsters.
The spectators were hysterical. "Oh my god! Look at this! What an amazing fight!" "Their six spirits are both so terrifying!" "Is this for real?"
Van Xiao looked at Luois next to him, slightly impressed. "Your daughter is quite cool, able to summon three primordial monsters," he said.
Luois replied. "Your daughter is also great, able to summon the legendary Cold Temperature Builder from the Mysterious Ice Realm and its two great generals."
The official Generals looked genuinely amazed. Li Yun and Luois's wife were surprised together.
Suddenly, a murmuring voice was heard, audible only to Verion. "Hey Zerion, your new body has a primordial monster too. Sorry I'm late telling you, I've been busy taming this primordial monster, which is more aggressive than King Satan."
Verion was instantly trembling. "A primordial monster is inside my body? Hey-hey! Tell me more about the primordial monster inside me!"
The voice replied. "You can use its power. Your primordial monster can speak like me too. It is the embodiment of the ancestor of all dragons. The power of all dragons in this world is a fragmented inheritance of its power."
The voice continued. "You can use its power and communicate with it. I will tell it to communicate with you."
After that, a trembling, murmuring, pressing voice was heard, like from a giant being held back. "Grrr-s... who are you who has occupied this body?"
Verion tried to calm himself, despite his agitation. "I am Zerion. I was reborn from the previous world to this world. I am the new occupant of this body."
"Reborn?" The voice pressed. "Is that the work of the black entity that is also inside here?"
"Yes," Verion replied. "I want to ask you a question. If you occupied this body before, why was the original owner of this body so weak?"
"Young man," the voice sounded heavy. "I offered help to the previous owner of this body through a dream, but he was foolish. He asked to be reborn into another life."
The voice sighed (or a sound similar to it). "After that, I refused his foolish request. Not long after, he told a story." The story he told was his dream about the Ancestor of All Light: "Hey monster! I had another dream after dreaming of you!" The monster asked: "What did you dream about?" Verion replied: "I dreamed of a female entity, a four-dimensional being. And she said that she is the life spirit regulator entity. I asked what the business was, she said: I will grant your wish to be reborn into another life. Until now, her promise has not been fulfilled." The Ancestor of All Light replied: "That is the guardian of the arrangement of all things."
The story concluded. Verion asked: "How complex is that rule?"
The voice answered briefly. "You will find out for yourself later."
Back to the Fight:
The Cold Temperature Builder and its two generals charged their respective opponents. Fierce combat erupted!
The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering advanced to attack the main Cold Temperature Builder, drawing its sword. They exchanged blows at lightning speed. The two other Cold Temperature Builder generals fought the Blue-Purple Fire Phoenix and the Hellish Dragon-Scaled Snake Worm. They clashed with bursts of fire: frozen fire from the ice general, yellow fire from the Phoenix, and dark red fire from the snake worm.
A loud explosion was created from all the creatures' bursts. Smoke and mist filled the arena.
"What happened! I can't see it!" "The fight isn't over that quickly, is it?" "Oh, come on!" The crowd was restless.
The smoke and mist slowly cleared. Ye Hun's and WeYou's creatures were seen still exchanging attacks.
The Hellish Dragon-Scaled Snake Worm coiled, detonated the ground beneath it with its fire burst, and entered the ground. The Cold Temperature Builder General fighting it was on high alert for a surprise attack. The ground beneath its feet cracked and was torn open. The snake worm emerged from below, and without wasting time, it coiled tightly around the Cold Temperature Builder General's body, crushing it, and eating its head!
The Cold Temperature Builder General was now down to one. It was resisting the Phoenix's burst using its shield. It ran toward the Hellish Dragon-Scaled Snake Worm while enduring the Phoenix's hot burst. It leaped quickly toward the Hellish Dragon-Scaled Snake Worm and cleaved its head off!
The main Cold Temperature Builder, which had super-hard armor, was attacked by the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering, which delivered a sharp punch. The attack was blocked by the shield, but the shield shattered! The Cold Temperature Builder quickly swung its sword, cutting off the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's left arm. The arm was severed and fell.
The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering tried to attack again with its right hand. The Cold Temperature Builder dodged quickly, ducking down, and swung its sword again, cutting off the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's right arm.
The Cold Temperature Builder General ran around while enduring the Phoenix's burst. It tried to advance, but was thwarted by the Phoenix's wing flap, which pushed its body back. The Phoenix released a thousand fireballs! The Cold Temperature Builder General parried with its sword and shield, while dodging some of the Phoenix's unreadable fireballs. The Phoenix released another burst of fire.
The Cold Temperature Builder General used its shield to block the subsequent burst, then pointed its sword forward, forming a spear. It released ice vapor from the hand holding the sword, making the sword sharper and pointier. It deflected the Phoenix's fire burst toward the arena wall.
"Don't point it here!" "Stop!" "Don't!" The crowd became restless again.
The Phoenix's fire burst hit the wall, but was blocked by a thick shield created by the Generals. The spectators slowly opened their eyes, relieved. "Good thing there's an arena shield!" "You're making us panic!" "My God! This duel contest is so exciting that I forgot there was an arena shield!"
Then, the Cold Temperature Builder General pointed its sword toward the Phoenix's mouth while holding the shield to deflect the burst. The Cold Temperature Builder General's sword formed a whirlpool like an ice-vapor wind spear. The Cold Temperature Builder General braced and threw it!
The sword flew through the air, creating a blue liquid sphere at the front end that formed a sharp, stabbing crystal. The sword pierced the Phoenix's mouth. The Phoenix froze instantly. Behind the frozen Phoenix's mouth, there appeared to be sharp ice thorns stabbing backward.
The Phoenix's burst turned into smoke. The Phoenix froze in mid-air, and finally fell, shattering into pieces!
The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering, with both hands severed, regenerated its hands as fast as mutant blood parasites. The Cold Temperature Builder, still crouching, was kicked by the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering using its knee. The armor around the Cold Temperature Builder's mouth was destroyed, and it flipped backward. Its damaged mouth looked like a king who had lost his jaw.
The Cold Temperature Builder General immediately ran to its master (Ye Hun), split its shield, and combined the two shields onto its two fists, forming shield knuckles. The Cold Temperature Builder General jumped and attacked the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering from the left side by punching its face. Then, it punched the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's face again with its left hand until the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering was sent flying with a destroyed face.
The Cold Temperature Builder rose from its fall. The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering stopped its momentum with its feet. The Iblis Suffering's new face condition was more terrifying after being hit by the Cold Temperature Builder General: its facial skull was visible, its eyes dangled, its cheeks and mouth were destroyed, showing teeth.
The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering clenched its fists and mutated its hands to form mutant demon hands. It ran toward the Cold Temperature Builder General. The Cold Temperature Builder General prepared to punch it, but the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering dodged and punched its stomach from the side with great force.
The Cold Temperature Builder General's stomach was pierced, and its armor was shattered. The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's hand went through it!
The audience screamed. "The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering is this strong?!" "Unpredictable!" "Is that demon really as strong as the history says?!"
The Cold Temperature Builder General was frozen stiff, then its body cracked and shattered.
The main Cold Temperature Builder ran toward the frozen Abyssal Demon General of Suffering, executing the Rising Ice Star Slash technique. The slash glittered like a star, decorated with ice. The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering used both hands to fend off and block the slash. A clash between the colors of ice and blood occurred. The ice slash turned into a fluid that spread over the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's hands, binding it and freezing its body!
The Cold Temperature Builder advanced toward the frozen Abyssal Demon General of Suffering, then used its sword to create many irregular slashes. The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's entire body was cut into dust-sized pieces, leaving only its head.
The audience cheered. "THAT DEMON IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE RUMOR!" "The Abyssal Demon General of Suffering was actually defeated by the Cold Temperature Builder!" "Cool!"
The Cold Temperature Builder looked at the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering's head. WeYou was surprised. "Defeated?!"
Suddenly, the horns of the Abyssal Demon General of Suffering became like a sound-motion chain, with the horns acting as sharp blades. The demon's horn loosened like rubber and became flexible like a chain, launching many slashes quickly. The slashes froze the Cold Temperature Builder simultaneously. A cracking sound was heard in the Cold Temperature Builder's body, and it was finally minced entirely, its body parts and sword not intact.
The audience was shocked. "What was that!" "The demon is still alive?!" "I didn't see the attack!"
Van Xiao stated. "That demon... activated its survival nerves."
Luois replied. "It seems so, located in its horns."
Ye Hun sighed. "Hah..." WeYou stammered. "A-a draw..."
Both were out of breath, having used up a lot of energy to summon their respective creatures. Verion had sweat on his face, curious about who lost.
WeYou ran toward Ye Hun, unleashing the Opera Warden technique. Two abstract patterns formed on the right and left. From behind the two abstract magic circles, Lucifer's Hands emerged with sharp claws, burnt skin, and dark blood. Lucifer's Hands moved following WeYou's hands. WeYou clenched both fists and directed them at Ye Hun.
Ye Hun formed an ice wall in front of her to resist the attack. The wall shattered! Ye Hun was hit by the Lucifer's Hand attack, dragged far across the arena floor, her skin scraped. WeYou jumped toward Ye Hun and caught her with Lucifer's Hand.
Van Xiao, seeing this, raised his right hand, ready to snap his fingers, but Luois held his hand. "Stop. I know your trauma. Don't bring that feeling into this peaceful era," Luois warned. Van Xiao's hand slowly returned to its original position.
Ye Hun was violently thrown against the arena wall. The audience was confused. "Why can WeYou use Opera Warden?" "How can she?" "Huh?!"
The Generals announced. "ALRIGHT! THE WINNER OF THE SECOND BOUT IS WEYOU SHI!"
Some spectators cheered, some did not. Verion muttered worriedly. "Sister Ye..." The soldiers carried Ye Hun away to be treated.
The Next Fight Is: Verion VS Leo!
With a combination of epic and tense attacks for the spectators, even causing the arena to be trashed, and forcing Van Xiao and Luois to descend to protect the arena!
