COI C29
"That Kes'thar has is more acting like a Hordechief"
U'ecin comments on the match where the others are in the thrill of their lives as the dolls lost three of them. The employer and the others cheered the impressive match so far. One of them mention something interesting
"Did you see the backlog? One of the dolls keeps closer with Silfa while those three are fighting?"
"Yeah, that doll keeps saying a Puma many times and even abandon its team. What an idiot"
Myrrkei heard them mention about the puma and his new friend is laughing while at the time not sure to react after the Agathean being possessed.
"Yeah, but it managed to take one of the challengers to its control. Myrrkei, do you know anything about it?"
Myrrkei has some familiar name called puma, and he asks U'ecin about it. But first he tells her.
"I have, but not clearly. U'ecin, I heard something that I'm not confident to sure why"
"It is not like you Myrrkei. Maybe it is written in the legends"
None of them are certain, yet they are bothered by it. Myrrkei turns to the employer himself.
"Do you have anything to find what I need?"
The employer keeps staring at the screen where the last face off with the mask Agathean and the team. He quickly responds as there is nothing happened yet.
"Alright"
He pulls out a device to search what he needs. Myrrkei and U'ecin didn't know how to use it, but his new friend can.
"Oh, let me do it, I'm getting curious of that doll too"
Myrrkei instructs her to her best of her abilities, and they quickly managed to find it.
"Hmm, seems like my guesses will be longer"
"Yeah, you don’t even read in our language"
The search shows different texts that he never understands, in a mix of their own world terms, Myrrkei thought they are the same as he but don’t have a proper item to read it except verbally. Meanwhile U'ecin tries to guess the proper Horsin tongue.
U'ecin reads it with no effort but says a different pronunciation of the Kes'thar's name.
"Pu'ma"
Using a different accent, Myrrkei finally understand who is that Hordechief. He says to her slowly
"The name of that doll is Piu/Mah. Known to be in your terms as Monster Tamer . . . Are you sure about it, U'ecin?"
"Would you let me talk about in such a tribal folklore?"
"Guessing that would mean listen to its bizarre stories and actions"
"No, it tells how sadistic nature that Hordechief is by letting animals to kill its enemies for him. By using their rituals in bloodlust"
Myrrkei is confused that he said it’s a legend but that is most goblins do. His friend murmur about it.
"Monster Tamer? This doll is a monster tamer?"
U'ecin is trying to compare that legendary tamer who is controlling the Agathean. Myrrkei answers her briefly and more direct. He picks a pen and paper somewhere in their table and drew as fast as he can. The shield is also can be a mask with wooden carvings.
"This Horde chief who not only tame monsters but has vooddoo ma dreem'oo"
She burst out laughing by his plays of words.
"voodod ma dreemoo?"
Later quickly returns to her posture knowing that this mostly those goblin's name.
"What am I saying is that it can control mind with no backgrounds to stop it, by the look of things we never know but some tales of it"
Myrrkei and his new friend sees what he drew with the basic design of the mask which are not accurate, as they turn to watch the screen. He can only describe to be like what that Agathean is wearing. She was inspired by this and ask him
"What powers it can do?"
"We don't know, this is mostly some goblin thing. Where they uniquely created new powers and never recreate it again because of the hordechief's tradition"
"Then we have to watch and see, oh yeah, I forgot about it. I’m Emerald Diamond"
"Myrrkei, just Myrrkei. Then what reasons for this?"
"My other job is searching more Horsin’s research and I like to invite you if you are interested"
Now facing the last remaining doll, controlling Thean in front of their eyes. Bass reads what he understands the skill sets of Thean, Silfa on the other hand took at the front with the best gears she summons, and Altair silently buffing up Silfa according to her needs. Thean's mask consists nothing but the wooden shield by the shield doll as the doll itself was not seen after the incident. His mana is unfamiliar where the rituals are merging his. Everyone in the audience will be witnessing a fight between a Horsin and their people, but the other Horsin in the pedestrian overpass think differently.
"From what we heard from their adventurers, there are mostly about their guild being captured and not killed. Will they witness the true reality of it?"
"I don't know, it depends how they execute. Many people from Agatheus city have strict rules when it comes to this city. I have no rumors of them killing them by their volition"
The Horsin talks in the side line where only Rusic and Ironno listen to their conversation.
"Another tales to be fooled. I guess why that Rune Isles incident was their first death experience"
"I have nothing to say here Ironno, I'm guessing the legend of the curse or rather they don't know their weakness is yet"
Thean begins to charge in where Silfa stands in front. Their blades clash as she already overpowering him and knock him back. After the first attempt, a glowing figure of Thean, like the image but more transparent than it seems, charges directly at Altair in quick succession and just push him. Altair moves back a little in confusion.
"Silfa, what was that image?"
Altair asks her then Bass answers it for her.
"A manifestation, it is just an illusion fused with his other magics. The tactics he is using will be tricky. Silfa, just focus on him until he gives an opening for us to hit"
Thean raises his two swords at her, she uses wind magic to blow him away combine with magic spears, same abilities like Gordon, to pressure him. Thean remain still as the light spears coming at him. More of his transparent images appear to form illusive techniques to deflect what were thrown at him. Silfa keeps it going as she made into a barrage of throwing spears at him nonstop, until Thean redirects her spears. Silfa stops and sees the manipulation of his magics. All of her spears lying on the ground that meant to disperse after being used. Thean let it lie there where the mask begins to consume it.
The passive effects of the strong wind still at play here, where he still need to stay or being blown away. Altair's buffs are ready to cast on her.
"Silfa, your buffs!"
Silfa sees her weapon shines brighter while she is empowering. She nods and charges in with her wind magic. Silfa was buffed with highspeed attributes as she suddenly already in front of Thean. The sudden attack somehow parried by Thean's own strength where his one of his own weapon flies away through her brute force, and Silfa's triple attack buffs by Bass gives her more than just parried on this moment. Thean's lost sword where never seen after that disarm, where he should resummon it like most magic swordsman.
Silfa swiftly hits him to the gut then to the mask. He can't react too fast as she is faster by speed and dexterity, where he is pushed back including the winds blown him away. He smack hit by the magic wall within the match. He still held his other sword in a firm grip and managed to stand after all that. Silfa didn't hesitate and continues the assault. Her experience during her adventures made her the fighter as she is now. With her force field in placed she will be suppressing him until that mask is taken care off. Thean being stunned, he chants a daemonic magic. Silfa reacts and uses her force field to cover his head and silences his chants.
But his chants weren't silenced, and much worse that is pierce through the force shield like no other. The chants disrupt all the effects that Silfa landed on him, and the two at the back only hears this loud chant again, but against them.
"Is this what the dolls experiencing?"
"I can't move, and I can't even search it on the stat board"
Altair curiosity grew during this experience as for Bass hastily find the source of that magic as it is being disrupted by a single chant.
"Mawlwin Dedathra"
A slow chant in the middle of their attacks, Thean casts it down to them where the magic is identical to Silfa's.
Silfa and the others finally breakthrough the chant as is casts down on them. Silfa expected to be another fire magic while she raised her mirror shield, countering any magic attacks, as the spells replicated the same Silfa's technique. The wind stops where both sides are using it, barrage of spears coming through her as it is being block by her mirror shield and counter it back at him. By this sudden realization, her buffs from Altair and Bass put on to the mask Thean as she raised her sword and summons her other shield to block his next moves. Thean already appeared only in front of her, her shield already prepared to block the back side of her, she never expects him in the front.
Thean should be attacking at her weak points, or maybe because the mask puts him this kind of situation. He only has one sword where his the other one didn't come back yet. It's her time to end it before the aftermath of that magic kicking in their wake. With her force field blocking the barrage, she minimizes the space thinking that he will get hit by his own crossfires with her mirrored shield. Thean did got hit, Silfa's buffs from Altair help her realize it wasn't him but an image of himself and both of them has the same of sense of speed. She sees him using his images to redirect the barrage to her shield. Triple the effectiveness and the speed of light to reinforce it.
Thean keeps it going where Silfa tries to hold on as she watches him carefully. The force field didn't break but she can't focus which is which after the triple buffs being replicated. She never thought this kind of reckless moves to put her in a deceptive confrontation. With her mirrored shield on one hand and her sword on the other including the summoning shield, she will be dueling or juggling with Thean for the first time with the same buffs. She expands the force field where the images no longer juggling with her mirror shield and him won’t be continuing what he was about to do, then she tricks him where he tries to break it through her forcefield, where he got inside as she timed it. Sliding inside to her domain, Thean suddenly reappears his second sword.
He bashes first with her shield. Silfa attacks as she sees it as an opportunity as she blocks it, both swords clings together and she uses her mirror shield to bash him back. Thean backs out with his footings, leaving her chance to free her weapon to continue the attack. He ripostes her to the side way to her right with his sword's guard to block the stab as he is sliding her blade to his shoulder where his sword points away from her and using his handle along with his fist to hit her head. Once the impact to her face, the mask's curse reinforced his attacks as she stunned back a bit. Thean then attacks further by bashing her with his shoulder.
Enhance by the rituals, he continues the triple attacks to continue the stun with his sword's hilt. A light comes inside the force field where tunes of music come by and bring her out the duel. Thean has another strike on her, as she flies away, and he throws his sword at her through her body. Leaving a connection between mana of the two of them, he begins to chase them as it to lose the effects of the daemonic magic and soon Silfa's wind will come back. He moves slower where the wind returns, with Silfa's mana bound to him and her, also the rituals will share their curses together.
Silfa was caught by her team, where the wind is now backing up again. Altair talks to her
"You were hit with some curses, my buffs are quickly being eaten out there"
"I don't know, Thean and with that mask shouldn't be a problem until both of them uses their powers"
Bass shows her the stat board about Thean's skills.
"Have you fight anyone in the duel? Look at these techniques"
Bass improvises the stat board and show a simulation of those techniques. Silfa was amazed of there are many ways that Thean could do, even he used his own armor as a secondary protection while he ripostes like that. While Bass said to her
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"I'm glad our overpoweredness withstand the beating or you will be knocked out"
The curse hitting on her head starts appearing, Altair needs to heal her or the curse will overturn the match. Beside using magic, he just wipes it off with his handkerchief and his mana potion.
"If Thean was conscious, we finally found the cure for this curse"
He wipes the curse with his mana potion while the curse feasting on the stronger source of mana and absorbed by the handkerchief. Then he throws it away.
"How!?"
Silfa and Bass were surprised, Altair didn't bother and checks on Thean. He is now coming closer with only one sword
"Bass, give me the stat board. Thean is only holding one sword"
Bass gives him the stat board and Silfa stares at Altair of how did he know such things. Altair reads the stat board where he searched within Thean's skill sets, then he searches the magic list. He found something rather particular in mind, and begins to understand how limited they know about their adventuring.
"Silfa, did he attack you with his sword?"
"Yes, he just throws at me and disappears without any trace"
"I see, then you stop using your abilities and let me do this"
The two of his team react what he just said they could think of. A support in a middle doing checked up while Thean is approaching.
"Are you insane?"
"Trust me"
"No Altair, I am a tank I won't be beaten that easily"
"Neither would I too Silfa, I have face Sork's monster in the first round . . ."
They argued while as Thean coming closer to them with images appearing joining in the rumble. Bass takes the front while the two continue arguing.
"What are you saying Altair? I have so much trust in you . . ."
Altair is moving closer to her face to face in the middle of the fight where Thean is slowly closing in with a dash. Bass is using his barriers to either push him or block his way. With Silfa's wind magic, it is sure for them to hold him off.
"I'm not going to face him. I'm trying to move closer and check what he is up to"
"Like what? My wind magic is pushing him away as he moves closer to us. Bass even tries to . . ."
Silfa looks at Altair's eyes when he just turns his head facing Thean, and she too looks at Thean and sees a much miraculous moves he did. Bass already sees what he did and prepares to push him back. Thean is doing parkour on Silfa's magic, his corrupted sword starts swinging to their direction but blown back and leaving a corrupted debris appeared coming his way, the wind is being block, his chance took quick dashes into the corrupted debris by going what momentum left to go forward.
Moving in, stops to hang on where he stands, swing his sword to corrupt the wind in midair, then parkour his way in repeat.
"This is bad Silfa, he is coming a little faster. Altair, Can you really going to face him?"
Altair casts another buff to them making their senses to see Thean is doing and this is not looking good for them. Thean is improvising the debris into his advantage to maneuver in different heights. He is now doing a pattern as he wishes to make him go anywhere where they can't predict to attack. Bass begins to use his music to back Thean out. Thean stops where the barrier and him meet, he persists not to breakthrough it rather using it as a guideway to where he needs to evade.
Bass turns his barriers into a movable object. Turning it into a more complex magic, and gives small traps if he escapes. Thean proceeds to sense any ways to escape those barriers, and with his parkour skills, he manages to escape. Bass activates his tricks to redirect the wind to Thean as he back to the barriers. Thean uses his sword, slashes again to corrupt the wind leaving a debris. He again escapes out from Bass’ barrier. Bass changes it to an attack where the barrier contains his soundwaves. Another flurry of attacks, Thean with his mask opens up and consumed the waves. Then faces the barrier with a loud roar, disrupting Bass' barriers.
Altair and Silfa witness Thean breaking through Bass' defenses leaving no choice for her to try his plan.
"Altair!"
Altair quickly rushes in to Thean where the mask is active, Thean with the mask opens with its rituals and starting to roar at them. Altair is running towards him, pulling out a hammer, Thean’s elven hammer, and charges at him with such a reckless move. The roar reaches him, he uses his magic to endure the accursed rituals. Thean charges in to commit the assault and for Altair uses the hammer where the roar is breaking apart by the tip of the hammer's head.
Piercing in every force of the roar, Thean uses his sword to block the hammer's direction. Altair switches his item from his right hand to his left hand. Altair using his special skill, equip item, where he automatically pulls out his items or return back to it from his inventory in quick succession. The same trick by Team Platinum where they change weapon on the fly. The hammer on his left hand is reaching to Thean's mask, with the images keep appearing to block it. The hammer pierced through any magic is blocking its way. No time to push him back, the image pushes Altair out to lose balance. This isekai man has overwhelming stats to handle Thean's but . . .
Losing his balance turns into a powerful knockback. He flew away but manages to hit the lower part of the mask. The face disperses and loss, where Thean repeats again to get through Bass' barriers. Silfa redirects the wind for Altair into her arms. Silfa is watching Thean moving closer, where there is a broken piece near to his lower jaw of the mask
"That monster is using my mana"
Mask Thean replicating Silfa’s magic through the bound.
"No, how could he manage to . . ."
She sees him using the force field as she did. Her powers are now his, made her provoked and ready to fight. Silfa starts to weighing down where her mana felt is being consumed. She checks within herself and feel the sword is stuck into her, its Thean's sword.
Altair wounded and with the hammer in hand.
"Silfa, let me take a look"
He is lying on the ground, she felt a curse coursing into her. She quickly shows to him from what is becoming of her. Bass is in the fighting distance between Thean. The broken piece of the mask is closing in where the debris is at Bass' back. Bass uses his surroundings to counter any flying debris coming his way. Thean continues to parkour with all the effort of Bass last defense. The barriers are in place but slowly corrupted in Thean's presence. Thean waited to use this to surprise Bass and tries to wail him. Thean’s image quickly rushes in front of him and cover Bass' mouth.
Bass's mouth is cursed and his mouth starts to decay. Thean held his face and throws him at the other two with the rituals coursing in. Bass is being thrown and cursed leaving stunned a bit. Silfa blocks it with her force field. Bass flew pierced through her force field as the curse is feasting in. Altair's wound is tainted with the curse, with Silfa holding him lying in her arms. His ring contains the Alga's light, without any idea how much left in it. Thean is closing in where her force field is enduring the attacks and the corrupted debris. Altair places his hand on her as she holds him
"Hold still"
with his left hand holding the hammer, he hits her where she is.
Silfa let him hit her with the hammer and the buffs are still in place, she slowly sees him hitting her but phasing through and to her realization when the hammer has a reaction of breaking something. A mana stream appears in her sight, ever so slowly, including the shrapnel of the sword bursting out from her. Then she witnesses even more, the alga's light appeared at the same time he hits her. Burning through the wounds of Altair, letting her be in awe from what Altair has done. Thean loses the mana that bound with Silfa and loses his reinforced magic.
The rituals began to waver where his attacks no longer took affects. The corrupted debris are gone, his sword no longer has any powerful magic. Thean quickly opens up the rituals what has left and begins to sharp shooting at Altair's ring with his sword. Corrupting his sword binding together with his own power where he throws. The blade is stuck in Silfa's force field and kept piercing in while it is corrupting. Altair quickly uses Alga's light with all it has, quickly casting it to his team. Silfa helps him getting up where he needs to finish it. Altair begins to prepare a spell as it needed time. It glows but not yet to release.
The sword quickly piercing in and stops in a brief moment like a limited frames showing distortedly. The corruption is breaking through. Altair finishes the spell and quickly casts on to them. The sword finally reaches them. Silfa tries to block with her mirror shield but it breaks by the corruption and the curses made it into a useless glass. It precisely hits Altair's ring, then it disappears and reappears on Thean's hand once its tip touches the ring. Altair quickly pulled it out and the rings starts to erode.
"That doll is making him more dangerous"
Altair felt the ring corrode to his finger in pain. He stares Silfa in disbelief where her powerful shield shatters like glass.
Bass who has a decaying mouth screamed from afar. Altair is expecting that he recovered from the curse with Alga's light. Altair and Silfa are facing in front of Thean where his body appeared to have rituals like tattoo. Markings of his mana like some kind of monstrosity of the rituals. Silfa whispers at Altair in rage
"Like trash that he could do to my shield. Are all of my gears that fragile"
"Then let me join you this time"
Silfa holds his hand that holds the hammer. It's her way to tell him, I trust you. While they encourage themselves, Altair quickly reacts Thean's image, breaking away those images by just a single hit.
Altair swings his hammer so freely like he knows he wasn't hitting anything and the sight of Thean's images disperse like a dream with no sense of contact or impact. Silfa recovers her mana and face the real Thean up front. She moves in to defend only where the presence of the curse made her cautious. Thean dashes in to her in full ritualistic power, freely giving himself the initiation. She dodges his attacks and see his every moves. The buff continues until the Thean's magic eroded it by his aura. The ritual is closing in damaging what protects her. Her forcefield and her magic wind slowly decay to what her buff helps her sense it.
Thean's presence is putting her buffs to an end. Now gone, with Altair by her side and Bass recovering after the attack. Silfa raises her sword and the remaining buffs she had will be constantly refill by Altair's reach. Thean took the first strike in his stance. Setting in to confront Silfa while Altair is behind her. The curses are surging in their way as the Alga's light kept them immune and only to stop the plague. The other curses weakening them not to move into far distances, like they are here in a smaller ring to fight. Altair slams his hammer on the ground causing a shockwave dispersing what rituals on the ground.
Thean initiates with Silfa were their swords clashes. Thean persists to use his techniques to disrupt the movements of her swordplay. She dodges it and watch his moves were his strikes were feint. The strokes of his sword switches fighting stance where she stays to the defenses. Silfa founds an opening and begin to strike low as he stabs. Silfa is faster and quickly counters and hit him in a lower side, he quickly grabs by his own armored leather cursed glove to the edges of her sword. The curse quickly sticks to her sword and her hand stuck to the handle as it corrupts. Thean use his sword's hilt on her head with rituals began screaming of its overbearing power.
Altair who is at her back uses the hammer to deflect his hilt attack. The hammer hits the sword while the wails shatter off in a burst, clouds of colorful smokes appearing out of nowhere, and Altair quickly hammered Thean's grip to break free her sword's corruption. Silfa's sword was cleansed and he pulled her out as she continues the attack. Thean releases a number of his images to stall her to prepare another attack. She raises her sword but kept it down where the images keep smashing at them, impossible to break her sword, and just stall where Thean try to recuperate the rituals on his sword.
The other images are now appearing on Altair, being deceitful on him as it is just weak version combines with only magic force, where he ganging up around by images. Altair is in a rumble of images with the hammer unconsciously striking them down so wildly like the hammer's touch can utterly destroys it. Silfa manages to take down the images from their gang up. She is sure that they are no threat for her. The illusion no longer works where Thean's image disrupt with a disfigured image of the sword caused by the hammer's previous attempts no longer part of the illusion. However, he can still mug Altair where the hammer won't hit him.
Silfa pulls Altair to her, back to back, where they are going to face off Thean at the same time handling the images. Silfa and Altair begins to spin around, clockwise or counter clockwise, and move closer to Thean while they fight. The smokes of the shattered rituals block their view when they reach to Thean. Thean hastily charges in where Silfa blocks and riposte close to her neck. Altair heals her quickly and raises his hammer on him. The image grabs a hold of his arm where Silfa casts her magic in the middle of this chaotic smoke.
Altair turns around and hits the image and use his own buffs in lightning speed along with her. His hammer misses and Thean moves back away in the middle of the smoke. Silfa moves in quickly and the tactics repeat. No time to talk and looking around in their view for another attack. Thean appears again and Altair quickly strikes him. Thean dodges, then Altair pursues with his lightning speed. Hitting Thean's arm where he blocks Altair by hitting the mask. The ritual on his armor begins to faulter. He grabs him with his other free hand to fill it with rituals and throw him away. Altair is slowly pushing back as multiple images returned to separate the two.
Silfa's forcefield barely hold and kept Altair stop moving away from her. While Altair was pushed away, Silfa counteracts Thean and hit him on the back. She pierced through him with her strength, he fell down to his knees as she pulled it out. Thean recovers after she pulled it out where the rituals heal him like a totem. Silfa uses magic to impale him again out of its persistence. Thean turns around and parry it. Silfa lose her balance and move forward away from him giving her time to stay on her feet. He grabs her neck from behind with the curse coursing through her again. From a burst of speed, Altair comes in where the images no longer keeping him away.
Altair appears from the air with the hammer in place. The images hold to him in midair with other more coming, from many swings of the hammer as they break apart. He forces himself to use his body to slam him. The image pushes Thean and Silfa to a safe distance, loosing Thean's grip, where Altair faces slam on the ground. Silfa broke free from his grip and swings her sword at the mask, but the image followed from Altair’s fall so shield Thean from her strikes. Silfa's magic is weakening with the glimpse of her eyes start to weigh down, as she begins to faint. Now unconscious, Thean pushes her and she falls to the ground.
Thean sees the three lying on the ground seeing to his victory. He summons his shattered sword with only the handle is left. The handle is in a form into part of a ritual item. With that he pointed at Silfa, the final attack, He slams his dagger through her heart. Bass shouts come to a surprise for chances to fight on. Thean held on as easily as before. Where the images appeared in a sudden attack. Altair forced himself up and land the hammer at Thean's back head as its strength weakening by the hammer. The images disperse and the rituals are disrupted. Altair kept hammering him to all his might while he bears the punishment with so many curses.
Thean slashes back, but Altair keeps it going like a mad man to swing anywhere that he could hit him. Thean didn't even back out and persist on hitting him. The rituals are breaking apart where the hammer is invincible while it touches anything magic related. With only the ritual dagger and the mask are left with shamanistic powers. Thean uses his ritual dagger to slits up on his throat. Altair lies down heavily wounded, mouth spits out blood, he then shouts out a spell the Kes'thar have never heard before. A loud bloody cry
"SANCTUARY!"
A circle ring shines under them and clears out all the smokes of the rituals.
The audience sees such an amazing feat. The announcers finally yell during this whole match.
"Altair is using his ultimate"
Altair sees the Silfa cleanses away all the curses and he himself is standing up after that slit on his throat. Thean feels the power it contains and puts Altair another chance to fight. With his ritual dagger, he can end it. He stabs him, this time with the ritual dagger. In all Altairs efforts of what he did. He never experienced this ritual can actually break his protection. The ritual dagger ignores magic like the hammer, Altair should have known that the hammer is not the only powerful item. Down again, and finally would be his end. The sanctuary persists as it is his ultimate.
Bass notices that Altair fell and didn't come back up again after his ultimate, believing he is out. He uses music again were the instruments returned. Thean had enough and throw the dagger, hitting him by the throat. Bass feels the rituals eroding his body and mind, in last effort of his abilities. He pulls out something from his inventory, a potion, and drinks it. Cruel to see his throat leaks from the potion by the dagger. He turns to stone with the dagger stuck on to him. Silfa lying down sees Altair down with the rituals put him such a dying state. Thean moves to Bass to claim back his dagger, while she rushes in to see Altair, the sanctuary circle remains as she checks on him.
The same expression she had experienced during her adventure life. Her dying team who risk their life to save each other. Silfa's memory puts her in rage, and more importantly recovered through the sanctuary ultimate. She turns to Thean in rage, the curse depleted her mana entirely with only her physical strength remained. Thean resummons his dagger from the petrified body of Bass. It didn't recall for some reason, like someone is holding it for dear life. Bass is in stone form with only the music surrounding him to disrupt the magic item to return to Thean. Now Thean with only a broken ritual mask that controls him is facing Silfa without her mana.
She can't pick up her weapon as it requires what she bless it with. She has nothing left but her fist as she rushing in towards him. Thean tries to fight without all the powerful shamanism that curses on him. Silfa didn't destroy the mask but beating him up to all over his head. Thean's abilities and magics only gives a few displacements by her punches, but it won't hurt her such as much as she has the better stats than him. The audience sees the aggressive nature of Silfa that mute her while she about to say.
"This fight that should have been a normal match. Why is this like a battlefield than a normal game!"
"WHY! . . . WHY! . . ."
She keeps beating anywhere where his armor begins to tear off, his leather armor starting to shred by pure force. Silfa hits him and never cease to her aggression. The mask breaks and Thean is finally free. She cries where her tears reached on her face.
"It is a normal game Silfa"
She opens her eyes and sees him in all bloodied, even more degrade than what the mask Thean did to her team.
"Once this match is over, we will all be recovered"
The match have declared and the victory goes to the challengers' team. Silfa stood silence after Thean says to her.
The match is over and the 4 dolls return back to normal. Then the two, Bass and Altair are coming into their senses. Silfa stands up and Thean too, he turns to Altair with his hand open. Altair gives him back his hammer, and nod at him for this successful use.
"Oh yeah, Altairrisck . . . Go help her. I have never been beaten emotionally"
Altair rushes to her, trying to comfort her.
"Silfa Ventus, are you ok?"
She heard him and began running to his arms.
"It's ok, we are stronger now. We can handle this world"
Thean moves passed by Bass where he too joins with Silfa and Altair. Thean walks out of the match with the joy experiencing this day.
"Daemos . . . How did you managed to beat them from all those years?"
