The announcer shouted and the screen showed me and Rat face, the spellslinger guy, we got desert as our location.

“You know the drill, get to it!”

The boss pointed out over starting areas and we got ready.

From my place I could see the losers and Cortez was excitingly holding the bars and screaming, I couldn’t hear him, but he was probably cheering me on.

After he was teleported back to us he had to be checked on because the water can actually kill you if you drown, but he was fine and after that teleported to the cage.

“He did his best, but It’s only me and Odin left, I cant afford to lose!”

The gate opened and I was suddenly in the middle of a big dessert, sand blowing in the wind, not as fierce as the blizzard earlier though. I couldn’t see him anywhere, there was a pyramid in the middle of the map and everywhere else was covered by sand, the dessert had some big sand piles here and there.

I snuck around invisible a bit until I notice Rat Face, he was just standing there almost like he was meditating he was covered with some kind of shield, I snuck up behind him and struck the shield, but it got absorbed like it was nothing.

He teleported a short distance in front of himself and shot some small purple bolts at me, it wasn’t really hard to dodge them as we both ran around.

I used reappear to catch up with the distance, but the shield once again absorbed my damage. He turned around and blew a bit powerful purplish bolt towards me, barley hit me.

He is to fast for me even with my heavenly agility speed, there is no way I can catch up with this guy, unless I use my newest ability!

Luckily for me he is also the same level as me so we both have our newest ability, unlike Cortez and The Deceiver where she couldn’t use the new ability because Cortez was one level under her.

At this level every gets an ability for their subclass that has a 5 minute cooldown, its different for every class and subclass, I do not know what his spell is, but I have no choice to use mine!

Dirty tricks!

“Oh I have been waiting for this!” My clone appeared, but this time he has all the same abilities as me and our mind is synched, he has half my health and it only lasts for 20 seconds!

My clone reappeared behind the spellslinger and instead off shoving his daggers down his neck he grappled him.

The spellslinger panicked as I came closer and closer, my clone was smiling, but then the spellslinger teleported, just like my clone had planned out since he got teleported aswell!

My clone hit his shield over and over until it shattered and then grappled him again.

“Enough is enough, take this!” my clone got knocked down as I ran over and hit him with both daggers in his stomach, but he smiled at me and raised his hand and summoned a black purplish ball, I jumped backwards, but it was not enough the ball was approaching me and I had no way to dodge it, is this his special ability?

“What?” Before I knew it I was suddenly at another place on the ground, I looked around and tried to see where I was, then I saw myself get hit and disappear into pixel dust, that’s when I realized my clone switched places with me at the last second, he sacrificed himself for me.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

The spellslingers body was filled with some uneasy dark aura, but it quickly ended.

I closed the distance between us and sliced up his body as much as I could before he managed to teleport away, but I used reappear right after and finished the deal when I sliced his throat, he didn’t see me use reappear right after him so he was ready to shot back at me, but it was too late for him.

“And the winner is Soul!” I got teleported back to the others.

There was one fight left, between Wall and Fire fist.

The crowed was cheering for me so I waved back.

“Next match is between the only combations left, Wall and Fire fist! And the last terrain is the normal arena, like the old times!”

The match started quickly, the map was small and round with only 4 pillars in the middle.

“Fight!”

Fire Fist was the first on to attack, he infused his hands with flames and charged Wall, but Wall had his own ability, he planted his shield in the ground and his whole body got covered. Fire Fist was punching the shield as hard as he could but nothing happened, Wall then took up his shield and slammed Fire Fist backwards as he knocked down one pillar.

“What a blow! How is he holding up?” The announcer seemed worried, but he was not hurt, he stood up from the debris like it was nothing, parts of his body was covered with some sort of earth shield.

“He is not hurt at all!” the crowed was cheering, but Wall was worried, Fire Fist looked angry.

His markings turned all green as he ran towards Wall, first a piece of earth was summoned beneath his own feet as he ran, then another piece of earth a bit bigger, then again! Like he was running on a short stair case, he then jumped off and his markings turned red, so did his hands, but only this time there was something else, his hands wasn’t only burning, but it was like molten, like the map Odin fought on.

“Aaaaa!”

Fire Fist struck his shield and it knocked Wall of balance.

Before Wall managed to get back up he was rooted to the ground and Flame Fist punched a solid punch right to his stomach as it slowly burned its way through!

“Argh!! Stop!!!” Wall was screaming as his health was dropping quick.

“And the victor is Fire Fist!” He put his hand up in the air and the audience was screaming!

They were both teleported away.

“Now everything is reset! The remaining combations have to fight each other again, but who will be victories this time? Remember to vote for whom you think performed the best! That person will be fighting the other person who gets enough votes after the next two matches! Take a short break everyone, we be right back!”

Next chapter: Who will the crowed vote for? And who will be victorious in the next two matches? Then the vote pool starts again and those two will fight each other before the finals!
