ICE EMPEROR

MARUYA VS RUGIA

The second battle is over, now the referee is scrambling back the name that will do the third fight. All the participants looked at the screen above them tensely, as well as the audience guessing who would fight next.

“This is the participant who will fight in this third round. Maruya an adventurer from Vouleftis.”

All cheering to hear the Dragon Slayer about to fight, the spectators completely enslaved when they saw the young adventurer the Fire Dragon Slayer enter the arena. The referee continued his words.

“And his opponent is.. adventurer of Kurosido kingdom, Rugia.”.

A gray-haired man with gray eyes who was staring lazily walked into the arena with slow steps. His eyes looked as if he wanted to die rather than do something troublesome. So lazy to make Maruya look less happy, as if he was being underestimated here.

“Oy get excited a little, I want to fight you seriously.” Maruya Shouted.

While the person who was given the shout just stared lazily. His eyes closed for a while to think back to Maruya's words, a few minutes passed and the eyes opened again and replied to Maruya's words. “It's troublesome, we play it safe only.”

“Slowly, and what the fuck are you saying. You have to fight me seriously.” His yell was the second time, but Rugia seemed a bit lazy to serve Maruya who was noisy.

“I will fight as I can.” There was no motivation at all in his eyes, Rugia was really lazy.

“What's wrong with that guy, in his previous fight like this. But I really wonder why he got through to this round.” Annoyed Maria who saw the lazy participant asking for forgiveness.

“Maria, that person..”

Hearing Yugi's words as if asking her, Maria answered briefly. “He is Rugia, adventurer from Kurosido. In the previous round he managed to win and advance to the current round. His own strength could not be said to be normal, it was something that was rarely seen.”

The answer that seemed ambiguous still made Yugi a bit difficult to digest, but he knew the point that the adventurer had a power that could not be explained with words. But he'll find out here.

The referee who saw the two participants were already in the arena, just immediately started this third fight. “Third fight, Maruya against Rugia. Started..”

“Fight me..” Maruya ran towards her opponent with fire in her right hand. “Fire Dragon Punch.” The fiery blow was directed at Rugia who was still in her place.

“Whisper once.” He was upset when he saw Maruya lunging at him with a loud shout.

Duars

The blow of fire successfully landed where Rugia was standing. But alas, the attack could still be withheld, everyone was shocked, yes.

“D-he fended off Maruya's attack with a shadow.” Yugi was surprised, what he saw was a shadow at the feet of the grey mane adventurer that formed a bowl-like shield that curved to protect his master.

“Can you not be noisy like that.” Upset Rugia with her lazy tone.

Maruya who did not manage to break through his opponent's defense immediately jumped back to keep his distance. “That power... exactly what?” Ask Maruya.

“I can't be stupid to tell you that.”

The Shadow of Loss shot towards Maruya like a rope ready to stab his opponent's body. Maruya who saw the number of rope that shot like he wanted to stab it, swiftly avoiding every stab.

One shadow stabbed towards Maruya's right foot, but luckily he jumped to the right dodging the attack, not stopping there another shadow tried to target Maruya's head. Unwilling to reach her head, Maruya dodged the attack by lowering her head, then leaping as an impulse and darting towards Rugia with both hands coated in flames. Seeing her opponent darting at high speed towards her, Rugia ordered her every shadow to strike with a shadow bullet that shot like a missile nonstop.

Syut syut syut syut syut...

All of the shadow shots managed to avoid Maruya with his dragon instinct, but there were a few bullets that scratched his cheeks, hands and thighs, although hit by such an attack did not make the power of the lesatan reduced. Assisted with a foot that emits fire like a booster so that the lesatan is faster, Maruya did a swing punch with his right hand. “Feel this... Fire Dragon Punch -”

Duuuuaaaarrrrrr

Again Maruya's attack can be held with his opponent's shadow shield. Maruya's attack was not even able to make a gap from that shadow shield. So dense and thick, as if impenetrable by anything.

“Guess up, that way this fight will end quickly.” The proposal of Rugia who was getting tired of this troublesome fight for him.

“Haaaaaaaaahhh.” Maruya shouted by waging a fire in his fist and pushing up Rugia's defense. It looks like his shadow protector started to peel off a little with Maruya's fire heat.

Rugia was surprised to see his shadow defense begin to break and open a gap. Not wanting to be hit by the heat attack, the shadow that became the defense was attacking back towards Maruya with a fist shape.

Buagans

“Uhuk...” boxing is right nested in Maruya's stomach, he slightly coughed when he received the impromptu attack, the fire in his hand was extinguished. Not stopping there, the shadow began to bind Maruya's body so that she could not move anymore. The shadow bond is too strong, although Maruya has tried to rebel the shadow rope is even stronger binding.

Rugia walked slowly towards Maruya's lying body which was bound by his shadow. He stared boredly at his opponent as if uninterested. “Dragon Slayer. Even all the spectators were amazed at your magic, it was indeed as great as that.” he was crouched in front of Maruya's face who was staring at her angrily. But Maruya couldn't do anything to the shadow rope that bound her. “Don't be too confident in your strength, you're so noisy and annoying to know.”

“Silent... if you dare to fight me correctly.”.

Rugia covered her ears as she heard the shrill voice from Maruya. Sometimes he thought why his opponent should be this noisy young man. “If you want to fight me, you should be able to untie this first. That's if you're able to do it, weak.”.

Hearing the weak words from his opponent made Maruya really angry. Fire exploded violently all over her body, Rugia who was overheated from getting too close to her enemy instantly took a safe distance. But it could feel the hot flames as if alive and protecting its master. Seen now Maruya who was like wearing fire armor that surrounded him, anyone who approached him would definitely feel the heat of the burning fire.

Yugi felt a little awkward about the fire that enveloped Maruya, the fire was a little different from before. “What's with that fire, I can feel its power spreading in this area.”

“If you have to answer, it is one of my brother's fire techniques. Using its fire element to create a protective armor capable of repelling attacks. He never took it out unless he got a worthy opponent. Brother named... Rage of Fire.” Obviously Maria.

“Rage of Fire..” rework Yugi, he looks quite surprised when he heard the name of the style. Never imagined by him to make the element as body armor. ‘It looks like it's not much different from my mode.’

Yugi's words of heart are refuted by Yui in his mind. [“No, that stance was different from Eternal Snow mode, the power possessed by the Fire Dragon Slayer was using its fire as armor. But if in a more vivid brief, the young man let out his anger by making his fire rage. I think he was just angry, so the technique was created.”]

‘Your comments to the manager seem to mention that the style is just the original strength he released.’ Respond Yugi with cold sweat on his head.

“Kakak get that style when doing sparring exercises. Because he could not defeat his opponent he went berserk and issued a massive fire so that the move was created. I think he just got angry indistinctly and coincidentally got the technique.” Maria continues.

‘Oy oy you also have the same thoughts as Yui.’ Yugi thinks that the two girls who comment on Maruya's style as if dropping the self-esteem of the style.

Returning to the arena, Rugia was a little surprised to see that increasingly powerful blaze. Even paraded 10 meters he could feel the stinging heat. It seemed like his opponent had already put out a troublesome stance.

“See, I managed to break the rope. I am not weak.” he cried.

“This guy puts out a move like this just wants to prove that he's not weak. What's wrong with this..” annoyed Rugia with his lazy tone. But he was also a little curious about the style of his opponent, when viewed from outside the fire it was like forming a dense protector that guarded his master. “What style are you using?”

The question of Loss made Maruya smile confidently. By pointing at Rugia with the index finger of his right hand, he shouted. “This is my great fire technique, Rage of Fire. This fire power protected me from the various attacks from my opponents. And I can fight back simultaneously, hebatkan... hahahaha.” the sentence ends with a confident laugh that is too over so it looks silly.

“Now it's my turn.” (Moruya)

Hearing his opponent's words as if instructing himself to be alert, where Maruya's position is ready to attack towards him. Rugia instantly cast his shadow surrounding him like a rotating ocean like a small tornado.

“I start..” Maruya darted quickly where his thrust made the ground he was on bend, it signified a strong grip on the ground. When it was near Rugia, the fire-coated fist was ready to be floated.

It wasn't that easy to get Rugia hit, quickly the shadows surrounding him made a thick shield in front.

Duars

The shadow shield met with fists of fire anger made an explosion at the meeting place of the two powers. Not stopping there, Maruya jumped up high and did a roll in the air then kicked with his heels towards the shadow shield.

Duaaaarrrr

The second explosion sounded bigger than the first, and the shadow shield began to vanish when it was hit by Maruya's hot flames. Rugia who was behind his shattered shield also received quite a severe impact when the fire grabbed him. Due to the sense of heat she felt, Rugia took a quick distance from the range of her enemy's flames. But Maruya did not allow it, he also darted to where Rugia was. As if not giving herself a break, Rugia felt angry and took out all her shadows to attack Maruya.

All of the shadow attacks that formed arrows continued to rain down on Maruya's path. Instead of dodging all of those attacks, Maruya instead continued to dart straight without caring about the shadow arrows raining down on him. When the arrow hit Maruya's body, everything disappeared immediately burning fire in his body. Rugia was surprised to see it, the power of his shadow could not match Maruya's shield of fire armor.

“Fight me.” (Moruya)

Hearing the challenge that made her self-esteem lowered, Rugia finally took action. His face began to harden, his lazy nature suddenly changing 180 degrees from the previous one. Now the shadow that surrounded him seemed to follow his master's emotions, furious. That was what Rugia felt now, the shadow began to bind like a knit and gather on Rugia's right hand then form a shadow hand drill. “Will I receive.”

The two of them shot at each other and slashed the distance from each other with each of their successors.

“Shadow Drill.” (Russia)

Rugia's shadow drill fist and Maruya's Rage of Fire fist grew even bigger as the two of them got very close. And when the two moves collided, a huge wave made the ground of the arena crumble with a powerful explosion.

Duuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrd...

‘Large explosion once.’ Yugi broke out in cold sweat at the huge explosion, this third fight was almost as fierce as the second. Out of reason, he thinks Maruya is full of surprises every time in his fight, even though he himself has no right to comment like that.

A smoke soared like a mushroom, the explosion of the two moves made the ground around it fall apart so that the dust blocked the view of every spectator who wanted to see it.

The King and Queen who saw the interesting fight remained focused on the fighting arena, they thought who would survive the explosion. The same two adventurers have unique powers, one is an adventurer with the ancient magic of the Dragon Slayer and the other has the power of manipulating shadows. What a surprise-filled participant and never bored all the audience.

In the arena, the dust was still billowing so that even the view could not see the results. But they could hear the explosions in the dust blocking it. Everyone was amazed at what was really going on in the smoke.

Yugi was also confused by the explosion. His eyes could not see what was happening, out of curiosity he finally activated his observation eyes to see what was happening behind the dust. “They... collide with each other the power behind that dust.”.

Yugi's words could not be heard by either Maria or Vira who focused on the loud noise from behind the dust. There they looked like red and white fireworks that clashed together and exploded when they met. The battle they could not see must have been extremely fierce in there.

The duar duar duar

“The adventurer from my kingdom, it turned out strong as well.” Muttering Rexas, he smiled grinning, between wanting to fight with Yugi, it seems like this prince is also starting to be interested in fighting Maruya.

“Hyaaaa..” shouted Rugia.

“Horrraaa..” cried Maruya.

Duars

The two clashed fists in the air so everyone could see them. The spectators who were mostly ordinary citizens were shocked to see those who were suddenly already in the air.

“Death to You..” Rugia pushed her right fist even stronger as the shadow that enveloped her grew bigger following her master's emotions.

“You're the loser.” Maruya also did not want to lose, his fire right fist grew bigger plus his body was increasingly smoldering covered with fire.

These two superior styles become large in the air forming a ball of red orange like fire and black grayish like a gripping night. They wrapped around each other and dominated who was the strongest.

“Hiiiiiyyaaaaaaa.” (Russia)

“Hooorrraaaaaa.” (Moruya)

The screams of the two followed by the red ball of fire and the black of night wrapped around each other and fused in the air. The audience was shocked, as the two adventurers were wrapped in their own energy.

Yugi is shocked at what he sees with his observational eyes. He frantically said loud enough that Maria and Vira could hear him. “Wire, that giant ball will explode in the air.”

“Hah...” The two girls who were on the right and left side of Yugi were shocked when they heard Yugi's statement.

“Cannot..” Maria looked towards the arena with a face so worried for her brother. “Kakak..”.

The king who saw the ball in the air felt something that made him worried. Immediately he ordered all the barrier-making magicians to strengthen the barrier. “You protective witches, strengthen your magic defense dome now.”

Hearing the orders of the king, they strengthened the shield of the dome to be thicker and sturdier than before. This is done so that the protection of the audience is guaranteed security.

Not long the ball in the arena began to shine white in the middle, until some cracks occurred there. The longer the crack is spread so that it looks like it is about to explode.

Sriiiiinnggggg

Duuuuuuuuuuaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It turned out to be true of the King's premonition, an explosion within the arena occurred. That powerful wave caused some cracks in its barrier, but fortunately the wave did not reach the spectators. The robustness of the shields of the Eartfil witches managed to dispel the strong waves that hit the spectators.

From the air it gathered smoke from the explosion, not long before something fell from there. A shadow of two objects falling from the sky towards the ground. They were Maruya and Rugia who were affected by the explosion that was so close from them. Both were seriously injured, with some blood flowing through their bodies, and their clothes were tattered.

“KAKAAAAAKKKKKKKK (Mary)

The third fight was filled with tension and fear.Even for this girl, she cried seeing her brother who was severely injured in the fight. But the result can not be determined who the winner.I think that is not the most important, well now whether you will give up just like that... Maruya's...
