[Checkpoint 4th]

Malala- 'What is he doing? I'm completely defenseless right now. Is he just going to sit there while I heal myself right now? I didn't take him to be that type of fighter.'

Geo- "The Untitled continues to wait while Woman Devil is dealing with her injury."

Theo- "An absolutely dumb decision on his end but an advantageous situation she has been dealt with. Right now he's giving hope to gamblers around the world. It seems he's rejecting to wait out the fight."

Geo- "It looks like they are to be stationary until the fifth checkpoint starts. Though when it starts, I don’t think we will see the same fight as before."

Theo- "That's true due to a couple reasons. First, obviously Malala doesn't have an arm. Not like she needs an arm but it's the pain that's going to haunt her. The Untitled on the other hand is staying in the same open spot. The reason why this is a problem is because the spot is close to Malala making it significantly easier for Malala to land a victorious strike. Assuming he stays in the same spot until checkpoint fifth begins."

The fourth checkpoint is over, and the two fighters are still in the same spot. During the break time, Ace meditates on every possible move and attack he could pull off and tries to anticipate the reactions and/or counters all in his head like a chess game. Malala thinks to herself about how the fight has ended up to this point.

Malala- 'He has been one step ahead this whole time. Checkpoint first is when my right took a couple arrows. He then hid from me successfully and I foolishly wandered around waiting for him to come because I couldn't find him immediately. He then baits me into creating a situation where my powers are basically neutralized. He's been one step ahead this whole time. Everything I'm good at, environmental domination and focus, he's taken both from me. Despite this, I can't let him win again. I have not even scratched him while he's able to do this much damage. If he stays there, I will not hesitate, and this will be over.'

Twenty seconds before the match is about to begin, Malala stands up. After previously resting and treating herself, the pain is all but numbed by excessive icing. With around forty minutes of rest, Malala was able to retain a good amount of focus to face her opponent with confidence. Confidence is regained after she expresses her usual look of calm and modest arrogance. Ace stands up from meditating. He then drops the bow from his back onto the ground and has his sights on Malala. The both of them stand and look at each other for fifteen seconds. The buzzer sounds off, starting the fifth and last checkpoint of the fight. A microsecond the sound of the buzzer, Ace simultaneously blitzes towards her, on full acceleration.

Malala reacts by throwing whatever she can at him. Ace makes sure she can't spawn anything big that he can't possibly dodge. He is constantly throwing knives in the air, all the while dodging and moving from whatever she throws at him. He performs a series of flashy acrobatic moves to evade her attacks. It's an art to see him move forward in a display of gymnastic perfection.

He speedily throws more knives than what can regenerate at once in his pouch. And to his advantage, it hinders her on the defense, unable to create a giant game-ending mass of Musu without open air. As he reaches within ten feet of her, she uses her only arm and waves it like a conductor at an orchestra. Considering she is using her hands to command her Musu, it signifies that she's losing concentration. People who can't control their telekinetic Pradisial elements resort to words and/or physical action rather than thoughts. This is due to lacking concentration, focus, and/or experience with their Paradise abilities. Ace notes this lack of concentration and throws a couple more throwing knives directly at her. She quickly spawns a wall right in front of her blocking the knives. Then the Musu wall propels straight at Ace. He sees it coming and gets ready to react, but once he jumps into a spinning backflip, his leg muscles give out.

Like in his fight against Marco Danny, extreme acrobatic movement shreds his muscles and his bones. He doesn't feel any of it, but it matters nonetheless because it's real physical damage. He has been vigorously healing and repairing the muscles, veins, and bones in his lower limbs at a constant rate. This time he had lost focus. Once he jumped, he forgot to repair his leg mid-air before causing his muscles to tear. His jump isn't as high as he wanted it to be and his head does not clear the Musu wall. The wall speeds through and hits Ace's face. It was the first time that Ace had been damaged without his intention by an opponent. His body lifelessly plummets down, striking the pavement cruelly.

Malala and everyone else feels an instant shock as it is the first blow Ace has taken during the entirety of the fight. A second or two later, Ace's head inhumanly turns a hundred and eighty degree turn, looking at Malala. His mask shatters, revealing his whole face and his solely opened right eye. She looks down and sees the darkness in his right eye; she involuntarily hesitates and doesn't commit the killing blow. He heeds this hesitation and makes an opportunity of it. His left eye opens in darkness, activating Grade-2nd of Sin.

Everyone in the tournament building feels goosebumps and a widely unfamiliar strange feeling of fear. Even outside, bystanders form goosebumps across their arms and backs. Suddenly Ace disappears into thin air before Malala's eyes and reappears in front of her, standing and moving in a punching motion. With an instinctually fast reaction, spawns a Musu block above and drops it, smashing Ace into mush. His obliterated corpse then disappears again. Without a proper reaction or thought coming from her, Ace reappears on her flank wielding a blade in his hands. From the side of her eye, she visually catches Ace, whose upper face is covered in blood, and with eyes maintaining to be overflowed with nothing but darkness.

Denarrow- "Mors per Decollationem!"

The Woman Devil’s decapitated body falls to the ground in defeat. The whole world turns shocked as Ace stands before them with no mask and looking out with the Eyes of the Demon. The whole world stares into his eyes with no words or thoughts. Not even processing in the moment, they just stare. The world goes quiet, kneeling their attention before the standing victor. For it is the victor who triumphed against the world. The victor who championed their money, their recognition. And for it is the victor who has entered history.

The victor,

The Untitled
