More than a thousand people were gathered in the battle arena, and then there was silence; everyone was looking in the direction of the fighting ring. Some believed the fight was over, while others speculated that it was still not over.
A boy with a black ponytail on his back and a skull mask on his face was looking at the rumbles created by his skill; there was smoke and dust before him. He was still not sure if his opponent was able to battle right now.
He ordered his last two skeleton soldiers to check if the opponent was still there. The two undead with a purple fire burning in their skulls charged at the place with their bone swords. They started looking for the opponent here and there until one of the skeletons saw two dots shining in blue.
He slashed his swords towards them, but before he could do so, a spear with its tip covered in a blue glow pierced his skull and destroyed it into pieces. The last skeleton also charged at the opponent, but he, too was eliminated in two moves.
When Vinay saw that, he took some steps back and attacked the opponent with another 'Bone Spear,' but the opponent dodged the attack and came out of the dust. He was filled with injuries; blood had painted his whole body red.
There was a strange blue armor made up of mana on his whole body. It was also broken in many places, and the pieces of bones were piecing it together. Even in that situation, when his legs were shaking due to injuries, the opponent was still not willing to give up.
He was standing in his combat stance; he looked at Vinay with his eyes shining in a blue glow and said, "You have still not won; I believe that a lot of your MP should have been used up until now."
"I can still fight, but can you?" he straightened his back and pointed his spear at Vinay. "Surrender now."
Vinay looked at him and started laughing before stopping and saying, "You are a tough guy, aren't you? But your weakness is that you assume a lot of things."
Vinay pointed his hand toward the opponent and said, "It looks like I will need to put more effort in." He used 'Hands of Dead' and 'Bone Prison' to capture the opponent before casting many 'bone spears' towards him.
A pair of hands came out of the opponent, and just as the challenger wanted to break free, he saw that he was surrounded by four pillars made up of bones. More bones came out of the ground and formed a cage surrounding the opponent.
The glowing armor made up of mana also disappeared from the opponent's body, and he saw three spears made up of bones nailing to the ground near him.
The opponent felt goosebumps all over his body and wanted to surrender, but he heard a mocking voice say, "Too late now," before he could surrender. The bone spears exploded, and the opponent fainted from the impact.
Vinay smiled when he saw that this battle was close. He was able to win due to his passive skills, which gave him a very high mana recovery rate and gave him 20% mana whenever he defeated an opponent of a similar level.
The crowd cheered for Vinay. They started calling him 'Dark Wizard.' Vinay didn't like to be the center of attention, so he came back and sat on his throne again.
"With his interesting abilities and high mana recovery, he could become an asset even in big guilds. After looking at this performance, I am suddenly excited about the guild arena competition. Even with the addition of the big guilds, I think All-Stars have a very high chance to win," said the commentator.
"That's quite a bold statement from you, but I also believe that the Guild Arena competition this year would be very interesting. The All-Stars team looks stable and complete now, and I believe they have very high chances with the addition of Vinay," said Shreya.
It was now the turn of Rank 2. Rishi looked at the back of Kajal and said, "Best of Luck," Kajal said, "Thank you," before starting to approach the fighting ring.
The fans of Kajal in the audience cheered for her; she smiled and stood at one side of the fighting ring. On the other side was a boy with a giant sword on his back; he was tall and macular. He had messy brown hair and black eyes.
The referee asked both, "Are you ready?"
Kajal took out her magic staff, magic robe, and magic boots. They were all high-quality items with mana stones embedded in them to increase their performance.
The opponent smirked and put his huge sword on the ground. A big crack appeared on the floor where he had put his sword, and he said, "It's an honor to fight against Miss Kajal."
Kajal ignored him and nodded her head toward the referee. The swordsman was a little disappointed, but he forgot it and also showed a thumbs-up sign to the referee.
The referee looked at both of them again before saying, "Start."
The swordsman lifted his sword onto his shoulder and started approaching Kajal with his movement skill; even with the giant sword on his shoulders, the speed of the opponent was fast.
Kajal cast the lightning trap skill on the ground where she was standing before attacking the opponent with the lightning bolt spell. With the sound of thunder, a purple bolt of lightning came from the sky and attacked the opponent.
The opponent smiled and brought his sword on top of it and kept moving; he used the 'block' skill, and a blue layer appeared on his sword; the spell hit his sword and breached the barrier on the sword.
The impact shook the opponent, but he somehow maintained his balance and jumped at Kajal.
He raised his giant sword above his head and used 'Vertical Slash' to attack Kajal, but when she saw the opponent's attack coming at her, Kajal used a barrier spell to protect herself before moving back with 'Lightning Steps.'
The opponent's giant sword shone in white light, and he slashed the sword at the barrier with all his strength. The giant sword, empowered with skill and the user's physical strength, with the boost of gravity, hit the barrier, and a small explosion occurred.
The barrier in front of Kajal broke apart, but it was able to absorb all the momentum of the attack.
With a grin, the opponent picked up his sword again on his shoulder and was about to attack when he saw a net made of lightning surrounding him.
