Hello Everyone and welcome back to CRA!!!! It has been very long and I am still making portfolio. Before I begin , I just want to tell you all about the future of CRA. CRA is going to be my biggest project as the world of CRA is what is going to be my backstory for most of the story that I write.
The CRA that I write is about Lucarius who will become the founder of the Immortalis and become the guardias of the plane of existence that Lucarius stays on. other future champions such as the founders of the council (future book [before Lucarius]), Jaelios the tyrant beast (future book), The wandering lost soul (future book), and more will be also related to CRA.
Later when I am done bachelor of animation, I wish to make animation shorts for each characters such as Lucarius and the rest of team origin, handful of immortalis' back story and more. If all goes well, I might do more. Anyways this is my future plans and right now this is still in the far future. Thank you for listening, and enjoy chapter 13 and 14!
:grin:

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Silia. It was dead quiet as no one knew if she was being serious or just joking. For three minutes no one moved and stared at her. Silia raised her brows. "Is no one understanding my words? I said fight."
Suddenly one contestant swung his sword at Mia. She yelped and managed to avoid by hair breadth as it whizzed pass her and struck a insect humanoid being straight into it's chest. The insect humanoid screeched and hissed as it broke into it's carapace . It started to ooze black liquid from the wound. As if on cue, everyone around the arena turned on each other. The scene inside the arena was hellish as blood sprayed everywhere followed by screams and bones beings broken. Occasionally explosions ran across the arena caused by mage firing their most destructive magics onto their opponents.
Lucarius was frightened at this scene and avoided people that were close to him. As he was running away from the fight suddenly he tripped over a body laying on the ground. without looking he quickly regained his balance and tried to ran. Suddenly from the crowd Mia cried out. "Lucarius, Grayl on me!" Lucarius dashed towards the noise. As he got closer, Mia was torching anyone that got near her with her pyromancy. Whenever anyone got too close, she quickly dosed them with fire like a flamethrower.
From the far side, Grayl was mowing down anyone who got on his way. As he got closer, Grayl was hacking right and left. Every time he swings, blood sprayed everywhere. Grayl's body was covered in so much gore that i[b]t looked like a scene that could be only seen in a horror movie in Earth. As soon as he approached Mia and Grayl he let out a toothy grin that nearly made Lucarius faint from horror.
Mia quickly surveyed the area. "Looks like the party is focusing on us more." Lucarius and Grayl raised their heads and faced the crowds. It seemed that many people has began targeting mages and other support units in order to ease the problems. In front of them stood many contestants that let out killing intents. Lucarius paled and made swallowed some air.
Grayl only laughed heartily and pointed his sword at the crowd. "If they want to go through my sister than they have to get through me first." Than he let out a roar and charged into the crowd. "Wait you buffoon, come back!" cried Mia, but Grayl was already swinging his sword. Mia grumbled and began supporting Grayl by flinging fireballs into Grayl's direction.
"Lucarius I want you to support me. If anyone comes closer to me I want you defend." Lucarius did not have enough time to answer as one managed to go through Grayl and charged at Mia. Lucarius yelped and quickly swung his sword randomly. The man did not expect it and couldn't dodge the attack in time. The sword quickly sink into the man's stomach. The man only let out a groan in discomfort and fell face down into the ground.

Lucarius did not have time check if the man was dead as another one broke through and charged with his axe. Before the man quickly reacted, Mia threw a fire ball right into the man's pelvis. The man screamed in agony and quickly crashed into the ground. Somehow the axe that was in his hands was flying through the air and managed to graze Mia's hand.
The graze caused Mia to lose her focus and the fire ball exploded from her hands. She let out of scream as the fire quickly spread through her body. Grayl turned around after hearing her scream. "Mia!!!" He wanted to fly to her side but the crowd in front did not give him time as they applied more pressure towards Grayl. Lucarius quickly ran towards Mia's side. Mia was writhing in pain as the fire spread faster than before. Before the fire engulfed her, Lucarius took out his clothe and quickly wrapped around her arms.
The fire was quickly extinguished but the battle was far from over. Lucarius called out to Grayl. "Grayl! We are retreating. Fall back now!" Grayl mustered all his strength and let out a roar. He then shoved everyone that was on him to the grounds. This bought him enough time to arrive beside Lucarius. Behind Grayl, the crowd began to get up and chase after them. Seeing that they don't have enough time, Lucarius grabbed Mia and carried her in a princess carry. Making sure she wouldn't fall, Lucarius and Grayl ran towards the edge of the arena.
As if it was irony, Lucarius tripped over another body and his face planted onto the ground. He tried to regain his footing but was quickly confronted by another contestant. the contestant gave a smug look before swinging down towards him. "Oh no you don't!" cried out Grayl, and swung his sword. It chopped the contestant's hands clean off to the person's dismay. Grayl did not give the person a time to decide as he quickly punched the being straight into its face. This managed to knock the man unconscious as he flew a meter away from the trios.
Grayl quickly pulled up Lucarius and Mia and continued running away from the crowd chasing after them. By now all ready half of the contestants were strewn all over the floor. After being chased across the arena, the trios were cornered. Lucarius and Grayl faced their pursuers. They had nowhere to go. As if they were a predator finnaly hunted a prey, they let out a villainous smile. One of the contestant shouted at the trio. "Hand over the bitch and we will make sure you end painlessly!" The others around her laughed out loud.
Grayl growled and spat at the ground. "Over my dead body, you skank!" The woman did not like being called a skank and let out a cry before charging with the rest of the crowd. Lucarius and Mia stares at Grayl blankly as Grayl appreciates at his work. Suddenly a huge ball of light exploded into the sky. Everyone inside the arena halted and stared at the direction it was shot.
Silia clapped her hands together. "The time is up! Looks like we have many recruits than usual. I congratulate you all for making it this far. For now you can all rest."
All the remaining contestants suddenly dropped down from fatigue. However before the trios can celebrate, a woman was bee-lining towards them. It was the woman that shouted at the trios. "Oy woman, it's over." said Grayl tiredly. The woman seemed to not care and brandish her daggers hidden behind her trousers. She suddenly lunged towards Grayl.
