Felina walked back. Liasi also stood up and walked back.

"Good performance, both of you,

" Ryder praised them as he smiled.

They both thanked him before they walked to their place.

"Time for a men's battle now,

" High Duke Magna let out as he glanced back at his son.

Namag stepped forth and entered the ring. High Duke Eston's son, Nosam, also stepped forth and entered the arena.

High Duke Magna placed the box down again. The barrier once again surrounded them.

Both the guys took their position on the opposite ends of the arena.

"You can start the battle,

" Ryder let out as he saw them getting ready.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Nosam raised his head and split into two. The two parts once again divided into two each. They kept splitting until there were sixteen Nosam standing in the ring.

"Clones?

" Ryder muttered with a frown on his face as he saw the sixteen versions of High Duke Eston's son.

'These guys have some really amazing skills. If they were monsters, I would definitely hunt them to take the skills using skill absorption,' Ryder thought as he looked at Nosam.

Nomag was moving ahead to attack, but he was suddenly confused as he saw sixteen Nosam.

"I guess your boy learned some new tricks as well,

" High Duke Magna said to High Duke Eston.

"He sure did. The boy had a good mind for growth. The only thing that he lacks is the decision making abilities in tense situations. If he can handle that, he has a high chance of winning. On the other hand, if he fumbled there, he would lose,

" High Duke Eston replied with an honest observation.

"He would lose even if he did everything that you wish him to do. It is impossible to win against true strength,

" High Duke Magna said in a solemn tone.

Nomag attacked one of the sixteen Nosam who he believed to be the real one. Nosam flew back like a broken kite and crashed on the barrier. Nomag soon realized that it was the fake one when the version that had hit the barrier disappeared.

The fifteen other Nosams had surrounded Nomag from all around.

"This will be the end,

" All fifteen Nosam said at the same time as they started running towards Nomag.

"Flame of Destruction,

" Nomag let out loud as he punched the ground with his fist, using all the force he could.

Ryder felt the ground shake as soon as Nomag's punch landed on the ground.

What happened next was even more terrifying. He saw the whole barrier filled with fire. There was nothing that could be seen inside the barrier. Ryder couldn't see what was happening inside.

After a few minutes, the fire disappeared, and the scene inside became visible to all of them.

There was only one Nosam left inside the barrier. All the fake versions were destroyed in that attack. The one that was left was also lying on the ground.

"That's one,

" High Duke Magna muttered.

Nosam stood up with shaking steps, but just as he stood up, he saw Nomag standing before him. Nomag gripped his neck and threw him back. Nosam crashed on the barrier.

"That's second. Nomag won,

" High Duke Magna said as he picked up the small box. The barrier disappeared.

Nomag walked back to his father. Nosam also followed behind

"You fumbled. After falling on the ground, you forgot what to do next. You still need to work on your critical thinking,

" High Duke Eston told his son, shaking his head.

"It was a good battle. Our Demon Realm has a lot of talent. I'm happy. Your performance was good,

" Ryder let out as he looked at the boys.

The boys thanked Ryder.

They walked behind their fathers. Only one of them had their head held high, though.

"I thought the battles would take a long time, but It was really fast. I guess soon we will know the winner. Since it's going to be the final battle and you guys are giving the awards to the winner, as a Prince, I can't fall behind. I will also reward the winner. Do your best,

" Ryder said as he looked back at Felina and Nomag.

Even though he was acting neutral, he preferred Felina to win. Even though he believed that Nomag was a talented individual, Felina was someone he knew from before. Also, It was High Duke Oris' birthday. The victory of his daughter would definitely make him happy.

"Go on. Let's get it done with,

" High Duke Magna said as he looked back at Nomag.

"Best of luck for your final battle. Try your best,

" High Duke Oris told his daughter.

Nomag and Felina walked into the ring.

High Duke Magna put down the small box on the ground once again.

A barrier again surrounded the both of them. The barrier seemed like it was made of glass. That's what Ryder felt. It seemed like some kind of damage absorbing glass that appeared near the box from the storage space of High Duke Magna. It was definitely a treasure, according to Ryder.

"Should we start?

" High Duke Oris asked Ryder, who seemed like he was suddenly more focused on the barrier.

"Oh, Right. It's going to be the last fight. Give it your best. You can start at the count of three. Till then, you can prepare,

" Ryder told them before he started the count.

"One...

"

Both of them got into the opposite side of the field as they got ready to use their skills instantly when the fight started.

"Two...

"

"Three...

"

At the count of three, Felina brought out the Sword of Darkness as she flew towards Nomag.

'Is she making the same mistake?' Ryder wondered as she saw her flying at Nomag with her sword.

"Flame of Destruction!

" Nomag let out loud as he packed his fist and punched the ground.

Ryder once again felt the ground shake. Another wave of fire filled the barrier, making it difficult for them to see what was happening inside.

After a few seconds, the fire disappeared.

Ryder was able to see inside, but the scene was different than last time. Both of them were still standing inside the ring, and none of them was injured. Felina wasn't even harmed in the least against all expectations of Ryder.

Ryder noticed that the Sword of Darkness was stabbed into the ground before Felina.

"She even learned the barrier of the sword? Interesting,

" High Duke Magna muttered.

"Hahaha, yeah. As I said, she's very talented when it comes to learning my skills. Your son is very talented, as well. His progress is really fast since the last time I saw him,

" High Duke Magna said.

Felina pulled out her sword from the ground and once again started flying towards Nomag.

"You want to fight with strength, very well!

" Nomag let out as a red sword of Fire appeared in his hand.

'They all have a sword related skills from what I see, and all their abilities are different,' Ryder thought as he saw the sword of Fire in Nomag's hand.

Felina reached near Nomag and attacked with her sword. Both of their swords clashed, creating a wind blast. The Darkness of Felina's sword tried to corrupt the flames of Nomag's sword, whereas the Fire of Nomag's sword burned the darkness of Felina's sword.

'Their swords seem to counter each other. I guess they are a reflection of Magna and Oris,

" Ryder muttered as he shook his head.

The Battle of Sword continued, and both sides seemed to be on almost equal footing. Nomag seemed slightly stronger. Even though very slightly, Felina was being pushed back.

Felina tapped the ground with her right foot twice in quick succession as she muttered,

"Bindings,

"

Tens of vines came out from the ground and wrapped Nomag's hands and legs. They stood him from moving. No matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to live even an inch. His hands were, and his legs were trapped in their position.

"How could she know Bindings?

" High Duke Eston exclaimed in shock.

High Duke Mia also looked at the Battle with a stunned expression as well.

"I guess this battle's conclusion is already clear. Felina will win,

" She muttered.

"We will have a new winner this time.

"

High Duke Oris was smiling while High Duke Magna had a frown on his face.

Nomag's face was facing them while Felina's back was facing them.

High Duke Magna noticed Nomag's eyes changing colors.

"No, Nomag! Don't use that! You haven't mastered that yet!

" High Duke Magna suddenly called out, but it didn't seem like Nomag was able to hear. It was also possible that he ignored the words since he believed that he could do it successfully.

"Revastan!

" Nomag let out softly.

Even though he said the words in a low voice, almost everyone managed to hear it.

All their faces lost color.

"Felina, get down on the ground now!

" High Duke Oris screamed loudly.
