Amidst the collection of rubbles and chaos, surrounded by a numerous collection of dust forming a smoke that blocks his view, but not his complete vision, Klein rushed towards Arianna and Sharron by following their spirit body threads.

There in the middle of it all, Klein saw Sharron standing in front of the fallen Arianna, both breathing heavily.

"Huff... Huff..." Arianna's tore open cheeks which was bleeding, was also regenerating due to her Beyonder physiology was rather slow to due to freezing ice that was embedded in it.

"I won... Now, get lost!" Sharron mockingly said to the defeated opponent she just faced.

If one observed it carefully, time reverse just a few seconds before Sharron transformed into her incomplete mythical creature form that forces Arianna to lose control.

(But, even if I did-) Sharron despite her effort rather found it pointless, as transforming into one would mean she have to also die due to her own negligence,

The moment she transformed, she both spelled out their own doom at the same time, Arianna lose control and Sharron dies as a bunch of incomplete series of information and curses due to the fact she still was heavily affected constantly by Arianna's agitation, resulting in her emotions fluctuating across both sides of the spectrum, which was both good for her and bad for her at the same time, not being able to maintain her own self awareness and existence.

"No.." Arianna spoke, and darkness once again engulfed the whole area stemming from Arianna's back.

Fwish

Sharron quickly move out of her side to avoid the darkness from swallowing her.

"Arianna, stop it! The fight is over!"

"Tststs, uhuh, what a dumbass, he made things worse." A man who was spectating the fight on a bench beside another, nudged the crystal monocle on his right eye.

The moment Arianna and Sharron heard Klein's plea, down to their very core, their very own pride and mentality was affected, they both somehow pathetically petty at this very moment.

(NO... IT'S NOT OVER!) Arianna and Sharron found themselves agreeing on one thing.

They couldn't bear the weight of not accomplishing something from this confrontation, aside from their love towards one man, they both succinctly felt their pride hurt at the fact they weren't able to beat each other completely and ensure true victory, one of the factor was Klein and Reinette interfering.

They weren't wishing for each other's death, and they were glad Klein and Reinette made such a move, but that very same move was also something that annoyed them for disrupting the fight.

"As a fellow Beyonder, let's have a rematch." Sharron spoke first hand.

Klein was bewildered, surprised, and shocked after hearing that.

"Hey, stop it, what are you gonna get out of this, this is just too petty of a situation."

"Klein, sorry, but, let me beat up this woman, please?" Arianna stood up and plead at Klein who stood from the far side of her.

Klein couldn't properly see Arianna due to the darkness that covers her existence, but she could clearly hear her voice without any sort of interference, as it was like she just spoke beside her, this process was in a way done by establishing a certain connection between them and concealing the very surrounding only they can hear each other.

(Crazy, they really wanted to beat each other up, huh?!) Klein was totally helpless as she couldn't understand what exactly was going on.

(Woman are so scary when they bear grudges, huh?)

Atop the astral world, a figure cloaked in a nightly dress with twinkling stars of the sky was trying to control her shaking in fear of losing.

(Oh crap, she almost lost! What should I do, if she really lost this one!) Evernight in a fit of extreme fear couldn't help but conceal her existence from her fellow gods.

But that didn't matter as the Gods already know of it.

Sun, Knowledge, and Combat was rather boastful of the outcome that even if there was a rematch, the fight wouldn't change no matter what.

Storm and Earth was in the same state as evernight, they couldn't help but cower on a corner.

Steam is rather relax as he wasn't a gambler.

"But fights like this are boring, how bout we turn it up a notch?" Amon nudged the crystal monocle on his right eye, his voice echoed in the astral world.

Evernight upon hearing that felt a spark of new idea to increase her chances of winning this bet.

"That's right, how about..."

"Would you believe me if I said I held back even just a little?" Arianna asked the blonde woman in regal dress across the destroyed part of the city with broken and crashed down houses, the sky was dark and gloomy.

If one looked back at the fight earlier, a lot of Arianna's actions mostly stemmed from her subjugating or stopping Sharron's attacks who was aiming for a fatal blow, this contrasting intention made a big difference as to how it played out earlier, which gave Sharron more edge in the fight.

"I guess." Sharron agreed.

"Hey, hey, they're gonna fight again!"

"This is crazy!"

"My house!"

The spectators all over the world found the current situation full of excitement and worriness.

On the other side of the planet, a certain eight legged demonic wolf of the Seer Pathway who was watching the fight inside an abandoned church mumbled some words underneath his breathe, and a Beyonder characteristic appeared right in front of him.

A man in a pointy hat with a crystal monocle made his way into the church, and grabbed the characteristics before leaving.

Atop the astral world, Evernight gasped exasperatebly and heavily like a damn lunatic crashing out.

"You better win this fight, we can't go going broke, and stop holding back!" Evernight can't control her excitement as she made words that seem to pass through Arianna's ears who're ignoring the deity she believes in, due to her gambling act currently.

A certain characteristics was pushed inside the existence of Arianna and Sharron's back by respective certain existences, namely Time and Evernight.

Celestial Fraud, Not So Allmighty, and Depravity went back to their couch and started anticapting the start of round two.

The place blew up with massive amounts of spirituality as chaos, and darkness surged out everywhere across every corner of the battlefield.

Adam made sure the two of them wouldn't suffer the backlash of ignoring the advancement ritual and lacking supplementary ingredients, and went straight from consuming the characteristics.

Buildings across the whole vicinity either withered or turned into something incomprehensible that attacks the psyche, until nothing was left, darkness eats and conceal away anything it touches.

Sharron's and Arianna's statuses and demeanour went thought extreme changes.

What was a fight earlier that was between two sequence 4, now, the confrontation now was between two sequence 3.

Complete silence dominated the whole area, Klein who was a sequence 4 was left powerless at the current situation.

(They're really gonna do this huh?!)

Sharron's open palm shakes violently before he clenched it.

Suddenly, the withering and rotting of the whole area became even worse as it consumed anything they come into contact with.

The ones headed for Arianna went through such an extreme speed that the normal human spectators couldn't see at the speed which it was going.

This Beyonder ability stem from her capabilities as a zombie that she receive when she was a zombie, using as a light intermediary of an opening attack, forcing Arianna to make a move, Sharron also didn't waste her time to cast a deafening shriek that echoed throughout the whole surrounding.

The darkness that originated from Arianna became even more powerful as it tried to blocked the shriek away via concealing the withering and shrieking of the opponent in front of her.

The clashing of two powerful forces went through a hard torn struggle that such a situation presented itself with no clear winner, due to this, Sharron didn't waste time and manipulated all the objects around her, casting curses, the objects flew around in an unimagible speed.

Instead of using them to attack Arianna, Sharron simply tore them apart into countless pieces, to dust.

The established connection they both shared due to Sharron's capabilities, Arianna's darkness continued to dimmed and dimmed non stop, the light of the day penetrated her domain like a roof with a lot of holes, her capabilities was being attacked constantly due to the breaking of objects.

Boom

With a powerful exploding step, finding an opening in the gap she created, Sharron managed to close the distance between the two of them, she lightly opened her mouth, yet but a silent shriek comes out this time.

"Grrhh!!"

Arianna's psyche was attacked, rushing to make a move, she immediately casted concealment for herself to block her attack, but it was a little too late as Arianna's nose and ears transformed that into what resembled a bunny.

Sharron then raised her right arm and pressed it in front of her, suddenly, a series of exploding chunk of ice emerged throughout the whole scenery as it blew the darkness away.

Arianna was taken aback and was forced to back away, or so that's what Sharron initially thought would happen as her opponent was constantly the type not to attack head on, HOWEVER.

BOOM

Unbeknownst to Sharron, she failed to realized that there seems to be an absent of spirits around her surroundings, Arianna's tactic of hers to commands spirits to aid her in the fight was something she uses repeatedly earlier, but now, with a booming explosion of shards of ice, no one appeared in Sharron's sight, but was simply a series of exploding shards of ice she casted, and total darkness that conceals everything once again.

Swish

Suddenly, Sharron's torso was slashed opened, she didn't know what happened, no one really attacked her in that moment, or so she thought.

Dashing away from the scenery, and grabbing a broken rock by her side, she crushed it.

The darkness opened in the middle, allowing light to shine upon, and she found the figure of Arianna in the middle of it holding a bone sword.

There was no pain, but Sharron felt her regeneration was stopped.

Arianna stared coldy and indifferently towards her opponent.

Sharron could feel nothing but extreme wariness from that bone sword.

(Crap!) Once again, she uttered inwardly.

A fight against someone of the same caliber yet that of a different experience, Sharron could feel her emotions fluctuating even more dangerously, the longer she drags the fight, her emotion would enter an emotional outburst due to Arianna's constant muttering of poems underneath her breath that attacks Sharron.

Arianna decided not to hold back, and Sharron found her opponent really terrifying to deal with.

BAAM

This time, Arianna is the once who made a dashed forward against Sharron at such a speed comparable to Sharron's constant flux of movements earlier due to her pathway's superior stats.

Arianna didn't use the nearby surrounding spirits to attack Sharron, but uses them to support her, and increase her stats, and the effectiveness of her attacks via attracting a spirit that caters to the warrior pathway that uses the power of dawn.

In a way, Arianna right now was trying to fuse to two pathway in her bone sword by the power of certain spirits that is normally use purely for the sleepless pathway, adding in the warrior pathway for that matter might seem deterent and might make the sword completely non functional, but the warrior and sleepless are two neighboring pathway, it was very hard to do, yet she tried anyway, hoping for twice the effect and land a critical hit against her opponent.

Sharron's eyes turned blood red as she pulled out her own spine, TWICE.

Holding two hard make shift weapons in the form of her spine, her back regenerated immediately, and a third one replaced it.

CLANG

Sharron's hard steel like spines and Arianna's bone sword clashed, creating a torrent and series gust of winds that ensued chaos towards their surroundings.

CLANG SWISH SLASH FWISH

They didn't stop, Arianna and Sharron entered a frenzied state of a fight, their weapons clashed and clashed non stop, for every second passing, more than a hundred slashes was unleashed, the vicinity they were on which was already in a broken state of chaos was constantly etched with numerous hard and big slashes.

Darkness and withering was both consecutively trying to dominate each other.

"AAHHHH!!!"

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"

They screamed yet no one heared them, the constant series of influx was too much that the two combatant was forced to move out of the location and fled through the air.

Moving across one street after another, their slashes didn't stop, and continued fighting against each other.

Their grips became tighter, and swings harder.

Blood splashed across the air.

"Holy shit!" Klein was shitting bricks, but he tried to keep up with the pace and follow them.

"Uwah!" Klein then found himself being carried by Reinette who also tried to follow the two women fighting.

The audiences around the world was constantly cheering non stop as they also made their bets in this very fight.

Fors and Xio was throwing and splashing their drinks as they couldn't held their excitement.

The whole city of silver screamed, Derrick, Lovia, and Chief Colin as warriors felt their blood pumping as they watched the fight.

Celestial Fraud, Not So Allmighty, and Depravity are screaming at the top of their lungs on their couches.

Cattleya and Leonard was too locked in and couldn't utter a single thing.

Ouroboros and Will was felt their whole existence powering up as everybody in the whole world was making a bet, and entering a gambling phase.

The Outer Gods with Mr Door held their heads in anticipation.

"Haha." A man with a crystal monocle on his right eye couldn't help but laugh.

Just a minute passing by, more than the whole borough they were on was a complete mess, it was a battlefield, Arianna's sword constantly break Sharron's make shift spine sword so she was constantly pulling out new ones.

Sharron psyche was on the brink of constant drowsiness, Arianna kept muttering underneath her breathe, and trying to put an inducement sleeping effect upon Sharron, however, the reason Sharron was able to constantly battle her way through against this predicament was due to her capability as a prisoner to escape any sort of binding.

By being reminded of this, Sharron was also putting an extremely strain of bindness on Arianna's movement, a sort of mini shackles.

Arianna's body was etched with multiple wounds and poison was seeping in from her werewolf capabilities that is continuously weighing her body, some of her body parts was even slowly turning into that resembled that of a bunny, her legs, her eyes, her beautiful black raven hair is turning white.

Sharron's body was in a mess as her regeneration was constantly blocked or halted presumably due to the overpowered concealing capabilities of that bone sword.

Their dresses was in a complete state of mess, but they didn't care.

Locking eyes upon one another, they asked each other through those simple exchanges.

(How far are you willing to go?!)

FWISH CLANG SLASH BOOM

Houses and buildings blew up one after another, Sharron then created a distance between the two of them as she dashed away.

Arianna tried to follow her into the sky, but was immediately met with a falling house that crashes her down to the ground.

Arianna's stats was superficially increased at an amazing rate due to the spirits aiding her body, but even then, she still found herself on the lower end against a Beyonder of Prisoner Pathway which receive a better quality of increase as they advanced.

Rubbles then started floating around the vicinity, Arianna concealed herself again, but the breaking of objects around that was grazed with curses make it harder for her to maintain.

The act of pulling her own spine should've affected Arianna due to the established connection Sharron permeated which allows her curses to affect Arianna, but Arianna's constant concealment upon herself prevented such extreme damages to take hold of and etched their way through against her, at best, she could feel little pain as it was the most she tried to focus on as a means of defense mechanism from such damages.

Sharron found her body on the brink of collapse, the wounds couldn't properly heal, Arianna was losing a lot of her traits due to the curse etched upon her the more they make close contact that allows to break away against concealment.

More than her emotions that she tries to repeatedly suppress such as anger and jealousy, Sharron was slowly infected with another one.

HORROR.

The opponent she fought so fiercely was much scarier than she initially thought, what she thought was a clear victory in this second bout, she truly wasn't lying, she was holding out a lot earlier.

Even if the fight earlier was met with the same sequence as of right now, the result would've been the same anyway due to the single factor of Arianna favoring subjugation via attacking her psyche directly than a fatal blow to end the fight.

Now, Sharron's core was shaken, she couldn't believe someone could be so powerful despite both of their sequences being on the same level.

(Am I really gonna lose?)

BANG

Sharron was once again met with Arianna, or so she believed.

But it was a terrible illusion that immediately disappeared, and a new one appeared behind her, ready to slash her down with her bone sword.

Sharron's acute sense of danger accumulated due from her past experiences tredging between life and death allowed her to react very fast, and turned the whole surrounding once again covered in frozen ice.

Arianna was encapsulated within it, yet her movement wasn't stopped, Sharron expected this, she did this for but a simple moment to dodge, she could probably win in a close quarters normally against someone like her.

But with her bone sword and the horror that was slowly etched upon her makes it even hard for her now to believe she could keep up with her.

The sword was swung within the frozen ice and eats away, or a more better word was erasing the frozen ice that was at it's way.

The sword's tip grazed upon Sharron's eyes, slashing them horizontally, she screamed in pained, but not before accompanying it with her amplified wraith shriek that made Arianna's ears bleed and brain shake.

Sharron wanted to finish this and rushed towards Arianna's side with her bone swords, turning invisible, she hoped for something despite not knowing what it could be something for the moment.

Sure enough, it was useless as Arianna could totally see her as she was within her darkness domain, but somehow, light reflected in Arianna's eyes, Sharron saw this and immediately blinked towards those reflections.

(Got you!) Not only she uses mirror blinked, she tried to also possess Arianna as soon she does it.

Sure enough, Arianna's body was once again entering a state of turmoil as she let go of her bone sword and the fluctuations of her body parts that's constantly transforming into that of a rabbit.

She tried to penetrate her own chest with her bare hands to force out the wraith, but Arianna's psyche was constantly attacked over and over again, akin to having her brain scratched and stomped all over, stopping her.

Arianna was losing.

But.

Behind the supposed spirit body that resemble Sharron within Arianna's domain, a large towering domineering figure appeared behind Sharron.

It raised its two bare hands and made a certain gesture with the blonde figure in the middle to squash her down.

Sharron then made a silent shriek once again and the towering figure of Arianna in Arianna's domain quakes it's entire existence, it was slowly transforming into a rabbit existence from its legs, body, arms, heads.

The large figure fell as soon as it turned into a complete rabbit.

"Huff... Huff... I won..." Sharron slumped down to the void group within.

"I won!" She continued to breathe heavily and gasped for air despite there being none.

Sharron stopped and check her the state of her body, her blue dress, and the poison that was constantly weighing her entire body.

Such an encounter, a hard fought battle it was.

Her mind slowly adrift, wanting to take some rest in the middle of chaos, she felt extreme drowsiness and wanted to fall asleep.

And that's when she realized something.

(Wait?!) Sharron felt something wrong.

In the middle of a destroyed house, Klein and Reinette found Arianna.

"I won!" Arianna slumped down to the ground, she stopped and check the state of her body, her blue dress, and the poison that was constantly weighing her entire body.

Such an encounter, a hard fought battle it was.

Sharron lost.
