"Now that the two has rested, we should proceed with the next contestants. Mistiban and Shinpatsu! Come inside the barrier and grab your wooden swords. We will start shortly!

" Frank said to them.

nThe two immediately went inside the barrier with good lucks from them. They cheered for the two to have a good match.

n

"Hey, Mistiban! Give him a good fight!

" Shouted Snap on the well.

n

"Shin! Beat him up okay!

" Shouted Fang.

n

"Hey, that will be a tough fight!

" Shin replied to him.

nBoth of them chuckled to their reactions. They swung their swords and stretched their stiff muscles..

nIt was so long in ages since they fought properly together. They soon warmed up a bit and felt that they were prepared to fight anytime.

nShin was a Ronin and Mistiban was a Chaos Knight. Frank then walked inside the barrier and called the two.

n

"Okay, you both know the rules okay. We should fight and have camaraderie and sportsmanship. We should never cripple our opponents okay? Now get ready and fight well!

" Frank said to both of them.

n

"I know, I know. We should test each other's strength after rebirth right? Then let's get started!

" Shin shouted being excited.

n

"Alright!

" Mistiban exclaimed.

n

"Get ready and fight!

" Frank said to them.

nThe two of them immediately dashed towards each other. Mistiban slashed diagonally and Shin parried it.

nMistiban again slashed and he parried it again. Shin attacked him with the hilt of his sword and it hits Mistiban on the waist.

nCoughing air on the process. Mistiban stepped back a bit while holding his abdomen. He focused again and grabbed his sword with both hands.

nShin was notifying him to come at him. Mistiban smiled wryly, dashing towards him. He thought that Shin was playing with him.

nHe dashed forwards and held tight his sword. Smashing it to Shin with all his force vertically.

nTak!

nThe sword landed and Shin lets it slide sideways. He can't block it thoroughly because his strength was higher than him.

nShin then slashed aggressively, combined with a diagonal slash, vertical, and horizontal. Mistiban who has higher strength parried it with ease.

nEven though Shin was lower in terms of strength, he was faster in terms of speed. Mistiban was able to parry some of his attacks but Shin was making his attacks faster and faster.

nMaking Mistiban step back while taking some blows.

nMistiban was beaten left and right, making him at pinch. He thought of a plan to make Shin think twice before he attacks him. He used his skill Chaos aura.

nChaos aura–enveloping his body and surrounding with chaos miasma. A hot black smoke with embers flowing out of his body.

nWith his skill, Shin stepped away from him. He felt his skin burning from the heat. He was also not planning to be burned alive. He used his skill Conjure armor to defend his self.

nConjure armor–his skill of making an armor made of mana. It was looking like the armors of Ronins, a lone samurai or a samurai without a master. It was maintained by a constant supply of mana.

nHe was covered with the armor and mana was flowing out of it. He dashed towards him without fear. Withstanding his chaos aura, he attacked with his wooden sword. He slashed while using his skill Draw slash.

nDraw slash–his skill of slashing his enemy with his sword still on his sheath. Drawing it in a flash, dealing damage and then the bleeding effects were triggered when he brings his sword back on his sheath.

nHe slashed Mistiban and he was hit by the sword. He was thrown to the barrier wall. With the sword being wooden, the bleeding effects were nullified.

nMistiban was coughing on the process as he was still emitting miasma. Shin approached him and he defended himself with his skill Chaos breath.

nChaos breath–a skill of inhaling the miasma and breathing it out towards the enemy.

nHe breathes out and Shin was approaching him with tremendous speed. He dashed towards him but he was in the open, being a target of his skill.

nMistiban used the skill and Shin attempted to evade. But his momentum was so great that he evaded a second late.

nHe was hit by the skill and his armor was burned. The ground itself was on embers when hit.

nShin reinforced his armor with more mana and his mana repaired itself. Mistiban approached him and dashed towards his direction. He used his skill Berserk while darting towards Shin.

nBerserk–a skill that makes Mistiban have high regeneration and all his stats were doubled. Making his aggressive instincts to heighten and loses his defensive instincts on the process.

nHe roared and dashed towards him. Slashing Shin furiously with greater speed and greater strength.

nShin defended himself and his hands were aching with every blow he received. Reverberating with every blow that Mistiban throws at him.

nHe was on pinch thus he used his skill Accelerate.

nAccelerate–his skill of making all his movements to accelerate with tremendous speed. From movement speed and attack speed. His accelerate skill will become faster with more movements like dashing and attacking.

nHe was exchanging blows with Mistiban and their speed was rising as time goes by. They were both blurry in the eyes caused by their speed.

nMistiban jumped to Shin but he swatted him with his sword. Throwing Mistiban on the ceiling of the barrier.

nShin then darted towards his direction but Mistiban darted on the wall. Making them chase each other inside like rays of lights, bouncing on the barrier.

nShin used his skill Multi slash towards him and Mistiban used his skill Revenge.

nMulti slash–Shin's skill of making seven slashes on the seven sides of the enemy. All executed at a tremendous speed.

nRevenge–Mistiban's skill of making his stats rise with more damage he takes.

nThe slashes landed and it hits Mistiban furiously. Making him battered on the process. Even though it was very painful, he managed to stay on his feet.

nHe dashed towards Shin and attacks with greater strength. They exchanged blows and were like battle maniacs. Stephen has never seen such energy and prowess in his life.

nMaking his feet to tremble and a cold sweat to run down his spine.

n

"No wonder they managed to held back the dark forces with just them,

" Stephen said to himself. Frank heard it and thus he replied to him.

n

"You were only looking at the shallow surface, Stephen. Wait for them to become their past self and you will know,

" Frank said to him.

n

"Oh right, Haha, I forgot they were on their weak side,

" Said Stephen while scratching his head.

nThe two of them still exchanged blows and was landing hits from each other. They were still energetic but their buffs were fading.

nMaking them sit on the ground on the process. Shin's armor has faded and Mistiban's miasma has gone.

n

"I am not expecting much from an earth stage mana. That was a good fight Shin, I surrender to this fight,

" Mistiban said to him.

n

"Ah, not wanting to accept your surrender just yet. We should postpone this one and have a rematch when we are stronger, okay?

" Shin said then lending his hands.

nMistiban gave his hands and they both helped each other to walk. Frank healed the two of them and they both drank water.

n

"That was a good fight! I hope you will teach me how you all do it!

" Stephen asked energetically.

n

"Sure why not? Right, Shin?

" Mistiban asked him.

n

"Yeah, sure! Hahaha,

" Said, Shin.

nFrank coughed and let out an announcement.

n

"Okay! Now that we are settled, the next ones will spar shortly.

" Frank said while holding the paper of sparring lists.
