I used my legs to kick off Kane off me. Kane was sent back near the nebula green spatial portal. I pop right up. Sora: Dark Magic: Devil's Shot. I raised up my right index finger charged up a tiny black energy orb on the tip of my finger. And I aim and shoot at Kane. Kane avoids the small black miniature orb. The tiny black orb hit the northside of the stadium right directly at the debris. Kane looks at the missed shot and starts laughing. Kane: What a pathetic spell! I shouldn't have even evaded! The black orb finally grew about the stadium's height, and then the massive black orb exploded. The entire north side of the stadium turned into ash. The previous rubble was caught in the explosion. The dead bodies were caught in it as well.

Sora: You were saying? Kane: I underestimated the spell. It slipped my mind how powerful dark magic really is! Sora: Combo Magic: Dark Magic + Crimson Fire Magic: Devil's Hellfire Slash. I made it appear on my back with its purple scabbard and the purple ray skin on the handle. I drew my katana, and I walked to Kane. My katana started to exude a dark lavender aura around it, then crimson flames combusted around the blade. Kane started sprinting at me, ready to tackle me. I waited until he got to me. Next, I snapped my fingers. Time came to a halt; everybody was frozen in time.

Damn, I can feel my mana seeping away by the second. How does Zea use this damn spell?! Her ability is quite remarkable. She wasn't lying when she talked about how she had to concentrate on keeping the Universe up. It feels like my whole body feels hefty while in this. How many hours of practice did she do to perfect this?! I don't think I can hold this ability anymore, and it shows.

Time began to unfreeze, but everything was moving at a sloth's pace. I swiftly thrust my sword into Kane's lower stomach then retracted it. The dark magic began covering Kane's lower torso with this black gunk. Then crimson flames exploded out of Kane's wound.

Sora: Now, resume! Now everything is back to normal. Kane immediately misses the tackle by me sidestepping him. And then Kane drops to his knees. He starts to notice all the ailments in his body. Kane: What is this black stuff on my skin?! Sora: It's dark magic at one of its most dangerous forms. It rob your body of mana, and it corrodes your mana core, also your mana heart and mana nervous system. Kane: Bastard! Kane popped up, rushed at me, and hurled a left hook at me. I proceed to grab his left wrist and throw him over my shoulder. Kane is down on the ground. I let go of his left wrist and pounced on his chest as he tried to get up from the ground. I stood up and looked down upon Kane. Kane was outright furious; he grabbed both of my ankles and tossed me off the stone tablet platform. I crashed down, right next to the stands. Kane got up in a hurry. Sora: My goodness, you're getting dull, Kane. Kane sprinted towards me, grasped my face, and started pounding face into the stone-made stands.

I stopped him by covering myself in my crimson flames, and he let go of me. Kane immediately tackles me through the stone stands. He continued on until we were outside the stadium. He dropped me immediately. Kane sustained some nasty burns on his chest and biceps. Sora: Look at yourself, Kane; you're a mess. Come back anytime and fight me later. I say this as I walk past him. I began walking through the gaping hole that Kane had made. Kane: What!? Sora: You heard me loud and clear. If you attack me, I won't show you any mercy. All you have to do is walk away from the fight. You didn't threaten or try to murder my mistress. So I don't have to kill you. So get going. I finally got out of the hole and started heading back to the gang. I kept walking and saw a fast-moving shadow closing in behind me. To no one's surprise, it was Kane with a one-handed battle-ax. I turned around; Kane winds up his battle-ax to strike me. I covered my hand with a dark lavender firey aura, then I clenched my fingers. Kane suddenly rose up twenty feet in the air. Kane grabs at his neck and starts kicking wildly in the air.

Sora: You fool! I gave you an easy way out! And another opportunity to fight me! But you wasted! Vivi, do it! Twelve ice-made arrows were launched in the air, all of the ice arrows hit Kane's chest. Then an ice-made javelin was in the air, and it went through Kane's lower abdomen. Kane's blood started dripping out and hitting the grass. Then Valencia, out of nowhere, Valencia was in the air with her pair of black handle daggers with curve black blades coated in cyan frost. And she rapidly stabs Kane in his chest, blood splurted out of Kane's chest. Some of Kane's blood got on Valencia's face. Valencia slides down with her blades all the way down to Kane's lower abdomen. Kane begins snapping his fingers very swiftly. Valencia climbs up with her daggers to the top of Kane's chest. Kane starts drooling out his own blood. Valencia jumped onto Kane's extended right arm and sliced off all of Kane's right-hand fingers. Blood spluttered on Valencia, lower chin. Kane's fingers crashed down and scattered away from each other. Valencia once again climbed up with her daggers to Kane's chest. Then she thrust her blade into Kane's jaw, and then Valencia twisted and turned her blade, and she finally withdrew her blade when Kane slowly closed his eyes. Valencia dropped down twenty feet and stuck a perfect landing next to me.

Then I finally unclenched my fist, and the dark lavender aura around it dissipated. Kane dropped to the ground head first. The black gunk on him rapidly spread across his body. The black gunk stopped at his neck. Valencia notices all the blood on her. She then freezes all the blood on her. And she then wipes all the blood-stained ice off of her. Valencia: I would've done it sooner, but I was waiting on your mark. Sora: No, you did the right thing. Valencia: Oh, okay! Umm, are we going to ignore the giant elephant in the room? Sora: Oh, I was kinda hoping it would've gone away by now. But do you have room to talk? Valencia: True, but your mana right feels really similar to Zea's mana. Sora: Is it really that obvious? Valencia: If you pay attention closely and you know who to compare it to, then yeah, it's obvious. But it still feels like you, though.

Justin began jogging towards us, and once he got to us, he began looking upon the stands at the warlock, just hoovering slightly above the stands, in a relaxed position. Justin: Is Kane dead? Sora: I think so. What do you think, Vivi? Valencia: I'll say a thirty percent chance. I really suspect him playing dead right now. Justin: Ya'll incompetence is genuinely remarkable. Justin walks to Kane, and he checks for a pulse. Justin: He's dead, there's no pulse, and he's not breathing. Now, we can focus on the warlock. Valencia: A mage like Kane is capable of stopping his heart and breathing.

I have seen this before. I remember a target almost tricked me that he was dead. Justin: What gave it away? Valencia: The fucker thought I left after ten minutes. Justin: Why did you stay for additional ten minutes when you could've cut off his head? Valencia: The job had two parts, kill the target and pin it on his right-hand man. His right-hand man was late. So, that's why I stayed. Any more questions?! Justin: I'm good. So, why don't we just cut off his head? Sora: If he is dead, we can't disrespect his corpse when he fought an honorable battle. That's one of our duties as mages. It's easy to follow the rule. Justin: I don't remember taking an oath like that?! Sora: It's an unwritten rule as mages. Justin: And I call bullshit!

Sora: We are a warrior group of people; we live and die for battle. Why do you think we have been in multiple wars throughout history? To the point of almost extinction for our people multiple times?! Justin: Because our people are a bunch of dumbasses throughout history. All we care about is battle. Good thing we have Maina as our god of mages; she's been preventing multiple wars that could've happened. Sora: Anyway, if Kane is not dead, then we can't do anything we want without guilt. But if you want to cut off his head, go on right ahead. Justin: I'll take your word for it if he comes back alive I hope he gives you the ass whopping that you deserve.

Sora: I'll be ready for him. From the skybox, I hear Deshon yelling from the top of his lungs and then running out the patio, jumping down, and stuck a perfect landing. Deshon no longer has the mace stuck on his head and no other injuries. Next, he sprinted to us. Deshon: Wassup, Kane! You were talking all that good shit but look at you! You're laying on the ground, like the pathetic worm you are! You this big and tall for what reason, you fucking oversize nigga! Deshon collided his fist, and his golden gauntlets materialized on his fists.

Deshon walked up to Kane and repeatedly kicked Kane in the ribs until he accidentally fell. Deshon got up and began punching the back of Kane's head. After a while, he got tired and flipped him over on his back. And commenced bashing his chest. Deshon: Who are you calling a comedian now?! Get up and do something nigga! I double-dog dare you motherfucker! Justin: Did he just steal... Sora: Let him continue. Next, Deshon started stomping on Kane's face repeatedly. Valencia: Umm, he's doing all of this but hasn't even put a scratch on Kane. Sora: Shhh! Let him continue; he needs to get out of this pent-up anger and frustration.

Deshon: Who's the bitch ass nigga now!? Deshon stops his assault on Kane and begins spitting on him several times. Valencia: Sky?! Sora: I know. Let the C-class mage continue. Deshon put his right foot on Kane's neck and put all the strength he could muster. Deshon: You just a terrible fucking cunt aren't you little biotch! A figure walked out of the nebula green spatial portal. He appears to be a short and ripped black guy with a strong jawline and a solemn facial expression with short black dreadlocks in his late teens. He's wearing no shirt and wearing black boxers while wearing no shoes. He has hand and wrist wraps on. We all noticed him except for Deshon, but he didn't bat an eye. Deshon began spitting on Kane again. And the stranger walked up behind him and touched him on the shoulder. Deshon: Hold on a second, let me enjoy this for a little longer! The stranger forcefully turned Deshon around to make him look at him. Deshon: Nigga, who the hell are you?! The stranger unleashed his mana in an instant, easily surpassing what we saw from Kane. And proceeds to deck Deshon on his ass. Wyatt: Shorty, what took you so long?!

Shorty: I was fucking a spoiled rich little white girl. Wyatt: Wow, you never cease to amaze me! Continue on! I am here to watch the show! Deshon got up and rushed at Shorty and started punching at him, but his punches seemed to unnaturally bounce off of him. Deshon: What the fuck!? Your skin feels like hard-ass rubber?! Shorty: I'm going to make you beg for death. Deshon threw a jab at Shorty's face, but Shorty caught it and threw him up a few feet in the air, and Shorty jumped up to Deshon and smashed his face into the west side of the stadium. Deshon tries to run away, but Shorty starts flying, snatched up Deshon, and drops him to the stone tablet platform. Before Deshon got up, Shorty pounced on him and started bashing his face in. You can see Deshon's blood flying up in the air. Shorty gets off Deshon and picks him up by the collar. Shorty: Kane, you can wake up now! Kane rose up and marched to the stone tablet platform with a menacing look on his face. Kane: I'm going to rip this little nigga limb from limb! Shorty lobs up Deshon to Kane, and Kane grabs him by the throat and chokeslams him. Kane dropped him, and Shorty picked him up by the neck and held up Deshon for Kane. Kane started punching Deshon like a punching bag. Deshon is violently coughing up blood and begins to cry out in pain.

Deshon: My niggas help me! I'm getting jumped! Sora: You got what's coming to you. You disrespected Kane to the point that I won't help you anymore. Justin, do you want to help with this nigga? Justin: It's not like I can stop them. Sora: What about you, V? Valencia: I kinda want to sit back like the warlock. Sora: Scream for Peyton and Zoey if you want help! Because I'm about to sit down and have a snack. Valencia: You got snacks?! Sora: Hell yeah! Justin: Fuck it, what you got? Deshon let out a blood-curdling scream.

Wyatt: Can I get some? Sora: No problem. Shorty: Yo, you got snacks?! Let me get some! Sora: Sure thing! I summoned my grimoire to my hands. And I opened it up, and I put my hand through the pages. And pulled a picnic basket.
