Shorty: The time for one on one fights is over, nigga! I got back up; there were enemies behind me and in front of me. Shorty, Kane, and the masked skull ghoul are in front of me. Sora: Crimson Fire Magic: Fire Fist! My left fist was coated in crimson flames, and I tried to strike Kane's face, but he covered up his face with his arms to block it. Kane quickly grabbed my neck and threw me off the stone tablet platform. Before I fell and hit the grass, I used wind magic to float in the air.

Shorty quickly got to me before I had time to look back up. Shorty grabbed my ankle and tossed me high in the air. Then the ghoul with the skull mask flew in the air and began launching strikes in my mid-section. Once he was finished, he knocked me down to the ground. Right before I made contact with the ground. Kane used both of his maces and swung at my head, and it just barely made contact. Blood began leaking out of the back of my skull. I crashed down to the ground. The ghoul with the skull mask tried to take my head off with his foot when it landed while I was on the ground.

I rolled over and got up, but I was tackled to the ground by Shorty. Shorty quickly tried to pound my face in but I blocked all of his punches. Kane and the ghoul with the skull mask pulled away from my arms from blocking. And Shorty wreaked havoc on my face.

Damn it! It's hard to fight all three of them! The other ghouls are ready to jump in anytime, trying to pull off a fast one.

I let an enormous shockwave of dark lavender aura explode from my body that sent Shorty six feet away from me, and then I broke free from the ghoul and Kane's grasp. I rose up and ran at the ghoul that once had a hold on me. And I sent him off the stone tablet platform with a left hook. I then turned my attention to Kane. Both of us charged at each other and started trading blows. Kane fainted with his punch and then caught my fist and started to throw me around to the ground repeatedly like a rag doll. Sora: Dark Magic: White Tiger Claw! I made Kane let go of me when I made a deep gash on his right forearm. Blood started rapidly spilling out for him.

Shorty swiftly came at me, and we started going blow for blow. The ghoul I sent flying came back and tried to grab my neck from behind, but I turned the tables on it quickly. I took two clean punches to the face while grabbing the ghoul's arms without looking back at it. And I swung it at Shorty. That made Shorty fall on his ass. Then I tossed the ghoul a few feet in the air, once it was at my eye level. I threw the most brutal punch I have ever done to a person. I put my right fist through its skull. Its violet blood-covered almost all of my right forearm. I retracted my arm, and the lifeless body fell on the ground.

Ezra: Avenge Mal Lin! Twelve ghouls rushed after me. I quickly flew in the air. And they came after me very quickly. I flew high up in the clouds, and they're still right on my tail. As I tried to fly higher, they started blasting dark magic bullet-like projectiles at me. A couple nicked me on my left calf. Sora: Y'all use dark magic!? Let me show you what real dark magic is! Dark Magic: Mega Purgatory Bomb! I raised up my right index finger and charged up a dark lavender energy orb the size of a house on the tip of my finger. And I shot it at dozens of ghouls. The skull mask ghouls tried to flee from it, but it didn't matter. When the dark lavender energy orb exploded, the explosion caught every ghoul near it. When the explosion dissipated, only ashes were the only thing to be seen.

Damn it, I shouldn't have used that spell! I was at twenty-eight percent mana. When I flew up here. Now, I'm at sixteen percent mana! That corruption form took almost all of the black mana I had saved up. I only have ten percent black mana left. So, using Rin's form is out of the question. I don't want to call for Zea to give me more mana. I can't use a higher percentage of Rin. If I do, she will take control of me. But she's MIA right now, so I could. But what was that thing that was trying to take over me when I was dealing with the impostor? It doesn't matter now. The ghoul named Ezra is the biggest problem. He's only showing a little bit of his power. That's a true monster right there. Then we have the other ghouls. Each of them is stronger than the other. I got lucky with that kill on that ghoul. That thing was too arrogant; it had no reinforcement magic on it. They are probably going to be guarding up now.

My body aches right now. I can't be taking that much punishment again. If I use the remaining black mana, I could try to wipe them all out with Zeus' lightning. But if I miss, then I'm kinda screwed. What is the best option!? If I try to conserve mana, I could end up dead before doing anything with it. Damn it! I don't know what to do!?

Someone tried to tap me on the shoulder from behind, but I stopped them without looking at them. They say their name was Nathan Sachi, and they are the second strongest of the Wolf Guard. I turned around, and it was a ghoul with a skull mask on.

Nathan: I would take off this mask, but I'm under strict orders by my young lord Ezra Varith. Sora: Don't worry about it. Nathan: You killed a bunch of good soldiers. My young lord Ezra is interested in your services. Sora: How flattering. That is quite nice of him. Nathan: Yes, my young master is quite considerate. Get in his good graces; he will grant any request that's in his power. He can even make you stronger. Sora: That's tempting to accept this offer. But I have already sworn my loyalty and service to my young mistress. Nathan: Is there no way to change your mind? Sora: I love my mistress; I will gladly die serving her. Nathan: So be it. If you want to die for her, then go ahead and die for her!

Nathan began chasing me through the air; I kept going higher until no clouds were above. Nathan was still right on my tail. As I tried to fly higher to the thermosphere, he started discharging lightning magic arrows at me. One arrow pierced my left back shoulder, then another one pierced through my left calf.

If I go any higher, I'll be in space. That means my body will drain my mana to sustain it with oxygen. I can't be wasting mana. I have to end things here.

Nathan kept the onslaught of his lightning arrows, but I kept evading them.

I have to end here. Let's say I'll use dark magic black hole right now. That will use up three percent of my mana if I can cancel the spell quickly enough. It has to kill that damn ghoul quickly, or it will take up eight percent of my mana. I have to kill him quickly.

Sora: Dark Magic: Black Hole! A black hole about the size of Kane appeared behind Nathan. Nathan desperately tries to get away from the black hole. Nathan let out a desperate scream, calling for his young master Ezra. But no one but me could hear his hopeless screams. When half of his body was in the black hole, he gave this high haunting scream. I quickly close the black hole. And it severed Nathan's body in half. The bottom half of his torso was eaten up by the black hole. Only his top half survived the black hole. The top half began pouring out blood like crazy. And then Nathan began falling down. I flew to Nathan, and I set my hands ablaze. I grabbed on to Nathan and set him on fire.

Nathan should be a pile of ashes in a few minutes. Now, what I'm going to do about the fifteen ghouls that remain. Then I still got to fight Kane and Shorty. If Wyatt wants to in, then I have to deal with another enemy! When should I deal with Ezra? If I use the remaining black mana, I have to regain some of my mana, which I will still be at a disadvantage. So, fighting Ezra has to be last on the list. Kane and Shorty have to be dealt with quickly. But that's easier said than done.

Wait, I think I have an idea. If I use one big spell, that could wipe the enemy out. But they won't see it coming this time because I'm so high up. So none of them can stop me. But they won't stay still if they sense a powerful spell. They're still aware of me because they're tracking my mana. So if I shut off my presence. Then that could give me the drop on them. But there's still a problem; they still will sense the spell. So how about I cast two big spells that will spend the remainder of my mana. Then I use the black mana to recover a bit of my mana. So if they survive, then I can be ready. There's still a problem with this. What if I run out of mana again. Then I'm screwed! Even if I meditate and gain nature mana. Nature mana burns out too quickly, so it's not a solution.

So do I really have to turn to Zea to gain more mana?! But I wonder how much mana she can spare me? She said she was tired because of everything she's been doing. And I don't want her here to come help. It is my responsibility to deal with my own enemies, not hers. I just need to stop being stubborn. Just ask her for some mana.

Sora: Zea, I need some mana!

Here's a surprise. I didn't think you would need additional mana for the match.

Zea, there's been an attack on the stadium. This guy Kane showed up and wrecked the place. And then this warlock named Wyatt showed, then this nigga Shorty came out, after almost twenty minutes, these ghouls showed up. And I've been fighting all day. Oh, yeah, Valdis fought this guy named Reagan.

I just looked through your memories of the past hour and twenty minutes. I knew something was up when Electra wasn't responding to me. But I knew she was alright. I also lost contact with a bunch of reapers on the island. So someone has been messing with coms. They also have a quite skillful mage that can block my telepathy. And Maina didn't come back there yet, so this person is very skillful.

I basically figured that. But I wasn't really thinking about it.

I would've been there if I wasn't in Eden right now, talking to their council of witches. And it appears their youth members of their community are going all in this Renegade bullshit. I'm going to wrap it here in Eden, go to Maina, and share some info. And that's all the time you have to finish the enemies off. Because I know you want to kill all of them on your own.

Thank you!

I would typically give you plenty of mana. But you know, keeping your mana core up and the other things. So, I'm only giving you a little bit. If you find yourself in a jam. Just call for me. Because I will kill every single disgusting ghoul in sight! And most likely go into their realm and exterminate all of them. And be careful fighting Ezra. He's way too dangerous for you! Especially when you're low on mana. I have to go; I'm only restoring you to thirty percent of your mana. And I gave you some black mana. Oh, yeah almost forgot to mention this. When and if you go into corruption, say Nir Anagrom. You won't be disappointed with the results. See you later, Blue.

So, go into corruption and say Nir Anagrom. I use it as a last resort.

I flew back to the stadium, but I remained seventeen feet above the stadium's height, and everyone's attention was on me.

Wyatt: I told you, Ezra! He will be back; he wouldn't just retreat from a battle like this. I know his type. It's an actual challenge with high stakes. Ezra: I didn't think he was that stupid. If he was smart, he would've abandoned this battle. I guess I was being too optimistic. Shorty: You're back, so are you going to stay in the air like a fucking coward?! Sora: Forbidden Magic: Diosa Bomb! A tiny unstable wild red energy orb appeared in the palm of my hand. I turned my hand to the ground and dropped the energy orb to the west side of the stone tablet platform. The orb combusted when it barely made contact with the STP. The explosion reached thirteen feet above the original height.

When the dust settled, the only thing that remained was the stone tablet platform. And it has cracks everywhere on it. And the grass inside the stadium was all gone; it was just a gaping hole around the STP. It seems to go forty feet deep.

Kane, Shorty, Wyatt, Ezra, and seven ghouls were in the air. Ezra, Wyatt, look unscathed. Shorty and Kane have multiple deep wounds across their body. The seven ghouls' clothes were tattered, but they had no visible injuries.

Wyatt: Can you please give a heads up next time you do that?! I was comfortable. Hey, Ezra, you sense that, right? Ezra: Yep. Shorty: Kane, let's bury this nigga! I'm sick of this nigga!

Kane and Shorty began gunning it after me. I landed back on the stone tablet platform. Kane landed in front of me, and Shorty landed behind me.

Shorty: I hope you don't mind getting jumped!? Sora: There's no such thing as a fair fight in a battle to the death. Kane and I charged at each other and started trading blows. Kane fainted with his punch and then caught my fist and started to throw me around to the ground repeatedly like a rag doll. Then he tossed me up in the air, then Shorty grasped my left foot, and slammed me down, and started punching me in the face. Kane came over and put his big ass foot on my chest.

Shorty signaled Kane to take his foot off of me. Then Shorty quickly held me up by the throat. And he offered me to Kane. And Kane went to work by pummeling my chest in.

I began to cough out blood profusely, I was trying to grasp for air, but every time I tried, Kane started putting more force into his punches. Shorty: I want some of that action! Let's switch! Kane held me by the throat, and Shorty let go. Kane placed me in front of Shorty. Shorty got started by giving me some body shots and then going to work on my face. He'd alternate between the both of them every six seconds of the two minutes he has done this.

Then out of nowhere, Deshon & Justin superhero landed right in the middle of the stone tablet platform.

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGIN8GPNBpE&list=PLW8u2prmd9kudKGJ6Eo7eQsjer-RdN1-I&index=271

Deshon: Here I come to save the day! Justin: Why do you like embarrassing yourself? Deshon: What do you mean? Justin: You know what, you do you bro. Shorty and Kane turned their heads for a second, then continued on. Deshon: Hey, Kane! You've been taking steroids again, haven't you!? Kane dropped me and then picked me up by the throat and legs and raised me above his head. Then he dropped me, and he swiftly kicked up his knee to my back. I let out a blood-curdling scream. Deshon and Justin cringed as they heard the crack.

Deshon: Come on, Kane, bring it on! Kane looks at Deshon with a blank stare and then proceeds to grab my left ankle and twist it all the way around. My left foot is facing a ninety-degree angle to the right. I let out a louder blood-curdling scream. I began banging on the stone tablet platform in pain.

Deshon: You're scared of me, aren't you!? Kane signals Shorty to hold me by the neck. Shorty raised me up, and Kane double-ear slapped me. Shorty dropped me to the ground. Deshon: I'll take both of ya'll niggas on! Kane grabbed my left hand, and Shorty grabbed my right hand. Both of them snapped pinkie fingers. Sora: Fuck! Justin: So I think every time you try to talk to them, they're going to do something to Sora. So, if you're going to do something, then just do it. Deshon rushed in without even giving it a second thought. Kane dropped my hand, summoned both of his golden club maces, and swung at Deshon's head and chest, which instantly sat Deshon down.

Justin: Not again. Deshon: Don't worry, Sora, I'll save you! Sora: Damn it, that nigga broke my fucking back! Justin, Deshon, did ya'll bring any recovery items. Justin: Well, we got here by accident. So, we weren't prepared. If Deshon sat his ass down somewhere, then we wouldn't be in this mess. Kane dropped his weapons and had a seat, then picked up Deshon. Then placed Deshon across his lap. Then Kane proceeds to straight up spank Deshon. Justin: My nigga!

A red shockwave burst out of my body, and I heard Sophia speaking. She says, "Get up, Sky, don't drop back on the ground again to them! If you truly love me, then you will win! If you win, I'll say I love you whenever you like! Now get your lazy behind up!"

My crimson flames surrounded my entire body, then the crimson color of the flames began flickering. Then my crimson flames became Rosé flames, all my injuries were healed. I got up, and my grimoire appeared in the air right in front of me. The grimoire opened up, and pages started flipping to the middle-end of the book. Twenty glowing white blank pages are being filled in with spells.

These flames are pretty peaceful, and these flames feel like the love I have for Sophia.

Justin: What the fuck? Sora: All right. I made Sofia worry. She put a command seal on me. Justin: Why the fuck did you get so happy when you said her name?! Why are your flames pink now, nigga!? Sora: Ask my mom.

Shorty: It will be the same result, now with your sus ass flames. Kane tossed Deshon to the pit while sitting down. And got up. Justin: I'll back you up to the best of my abilities. Sora: Don't worry, Justin the wise, I got this. Justin: What did you say nigga?! Sora: Rosé Fire Magic: Eruption. Rosé Flames set Kane and Shorty ablaze. Shorty: These flames are burning through my reinforcement magic. Kane and Shorty used water magic on themselves and tried to put out the rosé flames. But it did nothing to flames. You can see the flames searing through Kane and Shorty's skin.

Wyatt: Alright, that's enough! Shorty, you still owe me a drink at Varrick's bar! Wyatt opened a nebula green spatial portal underneath Shorty. Then Wyatt closes it. Wyatt did something to make the flames on Kane go away. Wyatt: Ezra, it's best to go now. Ezra: I'm not scared of those clowns!

Maina, Zea, Ryder, Sapphire, and Ruby flew in and landed on the stone tablet platform. Maina: Sorry, Kane! You had a lot of friends. It was fun. There are not that many dumbasses left to try and take my title. It was fun while it lasted. And you look bigger since the last time I saw you. Kane: Maina! Wyatt: Kane, you can stay and die, or you can live and fight another time. Ruby: Mom, you should let me have him! Ryder: No fair, I want to fight him! Zea: Oh, isn't my old pal, Kane Carter. How disgusting are you, Kane? You're working with the ghouls!

Kane: Zea! I don't have time for you! Zea: Same, that's why I'm going to let Maina or whoever deals with you! Wyatt, I'm disappointed! I thought you were different in your community. Part of the Renegades!? Seriously!? And for you, Ezra, I'm going to kill all of your people! Your people lost their purpose a long time ago. And now you gave me a reason to do it! Ezra: Shut the hell up, Rykor! Sapphire: Mom, look at Blue's flames. Maina: What!? He has Rosé Fire!? I wish I didn't miss it!

Justin: I think you can let out everyone now, Sora the cavalry has arrived. And lady Maina, why are your son's flames pink?! Maina: Oh, you mean Rosé! His flames changed colors due to a strong emotion of harmony and love that occurred. His flames are more powerful now. Sapphire: I wish my flames were Rosé. Justin: And I wish I had fire magic! But we can't get what we want! Ryder: Justin, your hands are on fire. Justin's sliver and deep-sea blue-colored grimoire with a lock chain appeared next to Justin. And his grimoire opened up to a blank page that's covered in the red fiery aura. Justin looked in his grimoire, and his expression was written with excitement. Justin: I have fire magic! Yeah, baby!
