Avawrath coughed out blood as the sword pierced his chest. He then sent out a blast of fire but Azazel removed his sword and dodged it. Avawrath sent out a chunk of the ground at Azazel but he kicked it away. He then moved the ground apart and tried to squash him by bringing the ground back together with him in it but Azazel pushed back using his brute strength and in Avawrath's state he couldn't push further and stopped pushing the ground.

Avawrath was going to retreat for a moment to recover but that's when he felt the effects of the poison left by Azazel's sword. As he fell to one knee, Azazel kicked him through a boulder. He then grabbed his face and began pushing him through everything on the battlefield using his brute strength. He then let go and went for the finishing blow with his sword but Avawrath created a mini volcano beneath them.

Azazel moved back as the mini volcano erupted and engulfed him in intense flames. Due to the intense heat, the effects of the poison were removed. Azazel clapped, acknowledging Avawrath's intelligence. Avawrath didn't have the stamina and energy left to use the Ring of fire technique, so he decided to use all of the remaining energy he had to go on an all out assault.

Avawrath was cloaked in flames and rock. He began moving all the minerals and matter on the ground. He then added magma to it to create spheres of molten rock. He sent it at Azazel but he just punched through the spheres. He even grabbed one and smashed it on Avawrath's head. He went for a punch to his head but Avawrath flinched so Azazel kicked him in the groin and then uppercutted him. The impact sent him flying into the air.

Azazel jumped into the air and suplexed Avawrath into the ground. Avawrath created a tomb using the ground to trap Azazel and then erected a volcano beneath it. Azazel broke through but Avawrath kept on smashing chunks of the ground into him to keep him enclosed just long enough for the volcano to erupt. The volcano erupted and Azazel was caught in it. The impact destroyed the tomb!

“That was quite a cool technique” said Azazel as he emerged from the attack completely unharmed.

Avawrath thought that it would have at least damaged Azazel but he was not even burned.

“I’m basically out of energy and stamina. At least use some technique to defeat me instead of just pummeling me” replied Avawrath.

Azazel smiled and moved in closer to Avawrath but when he did, Avawrath summoned the Scoria dragon and it roared so fiercely that it was heard across the entire battlefield.The Scoria dragon blasted him with fire but he walked through the intense flames and slapped it. The Scoria dragon was enraged and tried to whack him with its tail but he grabbed the tail and he flipped it into the ground.

The Scoria dragon sent an entire chunk of the sky island at Azazel but he used Raylon's plasma blast to blast through it and it sent the Scoria dragon rolling across the battlefield. It was about to get serious but that was when it disappeared as Avawrath hadn't bonded with it so it could only remain on the battlefield for a limited amount of time.

“That was Raylon's technique! How did you copy that?” asked Avawrath.

“It's just an ability of mine. I can copy techniques just by seeing them. I can only copy five at a time though” replied Azazel.

Avawrath tried to land a punch but Azazel caught it redirected the momentum, causing him to fall to the ground. He then dislocated his shoulder causing him to scream out in pain. After that he proceeded to rapidly punch Avawrath until he was knocked out! With Avawrath eliminated, 10 participants remain.

Meanwhile, Kael and Ragnar continued their battle against Tiffany and Atea. Ragnar was blinded and couldn't see anything but he placed a gravitational field on the area. The force sent Tiffany and Atea into the ground. They were struggling to move but Kael was able to move as he was strong enough to endure the gravitational field. He then hit the both of them with a lariat that sent them into the ground. The gravitational field only added to the impact and pain.

Tiffany felt insulted being held down like that. She summoned the legendary wooden Manju. It was a gigantic creature that had one thousand arms. Its aura was intimidating. It had so much energy that all the participants sensed its presence.

“Even I would have to exert myself to fight that thing” said Kodon as he watched the battle continue.

The Manju sent out palm strikes across the battlefield and the entire sky island moved. Kael managed to survive because he blocked using his tails but Ragnar was smashed into the ground. Kael tried to go to Ragnar but the Manju attacked the both of them simultaneously using its vast amount of hands. Ragnar sensed its massive energy so he created two gravitational fields to pull it on opposing sides to compress it.

The Manju creaked as it was being compressor but it pulled its one thousand hands back and sent out a thousand punches. The punches were so powerful that it compressed the air and sent Ragnar flying across the battlefield. He was badly injured, but he was still conscious.

“Get rid of the other one. I'll deal with the kitsune here. I'll teach it some manners” said Tiffany. Atea nodded in agreement.

“Everything has a weakness. I'll crush that creaky Muppet and then knock you out” said Kael.

He charged at the Manju but it whacked him away. He tried again but this time it struck him with so much force that he went through the sky island. He flew back up and tried burning it with fire, but the Manju used compressed air generated through sheer force to put the fire out. That was when Tiffany trapped Kael using winding tree branches, allowing the Manju to hit him with multiple hands, creating a massive crater in the ground.

“This is going to be a tough one,” said Kael as the battle continued.

While things got out of hand there, the battle between Jin and Raylon increased in intensity. Raylon landed a double palm strike to Jin’s back. As Jin went flying forward from the impact, he landed a crescent kick to the jaw of Raylon that sent him flipping into the ground.

They both got up and gave each other a defiant look. Jin tried stitching Raylon's shadow but he moved out of the way and began sending out blasts of fire at home. Jin decided to move in closer and endure the impact to get in close enough to stitch his shadow to Raylon's.

“Ebon cascade!” exclaimed Jin as shadow droplets fell from a dark cloud and each shadow droplet exploded! With Raylon unable to move, he has no choice but to take the brunt of the technique. Is this the end of Raylon?
