As the words echoed, hell ran loose. The arena was about 500 meters on each side, give or take, so space wasn't an issue even if Jack decided to go giant, but he only doubted he would need to go that far.
The guy next to Jack wasted no time and took a deep breath, using his skill while looking at Jack, and let out a giant flame wall towards Jack. Honestly, he thought that was pretty impressive, no joke; it was almost 15 meters high, unfortunately for him. Jack wasn't playing around anymore; he jumped up in the air and proceeded to use his wind burst from his boots to double jump mid-air and get over the flame wall. To the guy's shock, Jack came down, flying on the other side, holding his hammer as he slammed the hammer right into the guy's head while landing down. The guy's head crashed into the ground with insane force as he was knocked out and technically out of the match. Everyone saw this and decided to either stay aware of Jack or get rid of him first.
Jack saw a person running towards him as he sighed. People really do never learn anything. The person suddenly speeded up out of nowhere as electric sparks formed around his body. He moved much faster than humanly possible as Jack tried to hit him. He dodged and dove under Jack's hammer. He thought this would be a chance to get a good hit, but he couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't the only one who could go fast; as Jack's boots had the passive ability to make him faster, he was able to react in due time. He kneed the guy straight in the face as he tried to duck under his hammer. The knee hit him so hard that his nose was dented in as he started bleeding from his mouth and nose before falling down. This was counted as a disqualification, maybe?
He had just taken one out, but these bastards never learned their lesson as another one walked towards him. "It looks like the joker forgot to wear his mask."
Jack smirked as he looked at the guy and spoke. "Sorry with your face, I couldn't tell you weren't," Jack apologized, as Duke sitting in the crowd chuckled. He was honestly cheering for Jack a bit at this point. Not for Jack's sake, of course, but to validate himself that he lost to the strongest at least.

Anyway, Jack's statement made the other person furious as they covered their bodies in solid crystals, which soothed Jack. These weren't mana crystals, though since they emanated no mana, it was only crystals, yet such a skill seemed rather useful to Jack. The person slammed his crustal fist into the ground as crystal spikes formed and moved towards Jack. He also thought it was about time to start using skills. And so the devil's deck was shuffled.
And it stopped on nine of spades. Well, that's an overfucking kill, but good, Jack thought to himself as light particles started dancing around him as everyone looked at him.
"THERE IT IS, HE IS USING IT, HES SUMMONING THE WOLF," the Duke and his teammates cried out in encouragement while pointing at Jack and standing up at their seats. Even others heard this and were both annoyed and confused. However, what came out wasn't a wolf. Oh no, it was much worse. A giant hand appeared in front of Jack, blocking the crystals. As soon as it was revealed who the hand belonged to, it was Radus standing behind Jack. The giant captain of the city guards and one of the best warriors the village had to offer, since Jack had a part in killing him, he still counted as Jack's kill. Anyway, the giant warrior stood behind him, holding his giant axe. Where did he even get that from? Jack didn't question it and just told Radus to get rid of the people.
Meanwhile, the one who attacked Jack was almost shitting himself, seeing the giant demon with an axe appear behind him out of nowhere. But much to the man's credit, he hadn't given up, as he formed a giant crystal as big as a bug a bug he could have had in the shape of a drill pointing towards the giant. The crystal drill started spinning as fast as it could and shot towards the giant with insane speed. He was sure this would kill the giant.
Which would have been true if it were anyone but Carus, Ruddas, and the ex-chief. Radus swung his axe forward and cut right through the middle of that crystal drill, making it go flying two different ways. The man had given up hope as he loomed over the giant, walking towards him holding the axe. He fell to his knees as he spoke. "I give up." He had no intention of dying; if he lived, he could always get stronger, but death meant the end. He gave up as he was teleported away, and a confused Radus looked at Jack, who just shrugged.
