ICE EMPEROR

MARUYA VS RUGIA

The smoke billowing in the air caught the attention of all the spectators. The explosion was so powerful inside the arena that the ground was already in shreds. But everyone did not care about the destroyed arena or the explosion, what they thought were two figures who were falling from a height without realizing it. They wonder who will survive and win this fight.

Maruya and Rugia who had fallen unconscious continued to slide down. The hard ground was ready to welcome them, if only they did not come to their senses immediately, it would surely be a violent clash in the head they would feel. But just as the two regained consciousness, the eyes opened and looked at each other. There the gazes of resistance remained, for a moment they looked down at each other where the heights began to approach the ground. Not wanting to get hurt any worse, the two began to balance themselves. Rugia who spun once and prepared to land. While Maruya was trying hard to get something out, I don't know what he was doing, but concentration was so noticeable on his serious face.

“Haaaaaaahhh.” Maruya shouted, instantly the fire dragon-shaped wings lit up behind his back. Dashingly the wings spread out wide and showed the aura of the strongest predator of all races.

Everyone was shocked, but it was normal for Yugi. He stared intently at Maruya while activating his observation eyes. “He still has strength left.” Yugi then looks at Maruya's sister who is still sobbing with her eyes moist. “Quiet, she's fine.” He tried to calm Maria down by telling her the state of Maruya who looks like she can still fight it.

Hearing the words from Yugi, Maria's fear lessened a bit, but she still felt worried for her brother. Focusing on the meaningful person in her life, she prayed for her salvation. ‘Sister fight..’.

Tap

Rugia successfully landed on the ground, and his severe injuries began to make him feel pain to stand up. He sat down with his knees on his pedestal, his body feeling a very hot burn. Maruya's fire-based attack had a fatal effect on him. But there was no time to complain about his pain, his eyes staring intently at his opponent who was hovering above him with fire dragon wings on his back.

With dragon-shaped fire wings, he stared at Rugia with a hardened face and sharp eyes. Looks like this time it will be a heated resistance. But basically Maruya had almost run out of Mana, if he really had to fight it out, then...

“It looks like this is still not finished.” Saying this while landing slowly, Maruya closed her dragon wings so that it was seen that her wings were bent on her back.

“Actually I myself have started to get tired from the attack earlier. Where in my body is also almost exhausted.” Rugia analyzes the gains or losses he will get if he fights again. Want to be said like any ability possessed by this opponent he could not guess before. ‘So this is the power of Dragon Slayer, it's worth it [he] was so upset when he lost by it.’

“How, are you going to attack first or should I attack?” Maruya had already prepared with his horses. And the wings on his back he had also lost. Now he would be serious, because the Mana in his body was only half of it. If he used it little by little then it would run out just to buy time. So he planned to use all of his strength for this final explosion.

‘Looks like he wants to end this fight quickly. I can't, I can't bring out my true power here. I think I'm going to do the same with him. Sucks..’ Rugia raised both of her hands and said. “I give up..”.

“Eh..” Maruya was speechless with a confused face due to Rugia's rapid words.

The referee himself was silent for a while, but he immediately realized that what was said by Rugia was the cover of this fight. “Third fight winner, Maruya, adventurer from the kingdom of Vouleftis.”

“Woy wait a minute..” cried Maruya to Rugia.

Rugia who saw him just stared tiredly, he thought it would be very troublesome if this young man in front of him did not accept his decision. “What else is it?”

Well, the young man in front of him is crazy to fight, as a slacker like himself this will be very tiring to explain. He himself would not explain anything. “I have no more strength, and I am tired of fighting. So I give up, simple.”.

“What kind of reason is.” Maruya did not accept, from their brawl attack, he himself knew that Rugia had enough strength to fight it out with him. Like the previous adventurer who also gave up on fighting him, there was actually what was with these two adventurers from Kurosido kingdom. “Don't tell me that you even follow along like your friend who is an adventurer from Kurosido kingdom.”

“My friend?” reiterate Rugia who was a little confused by Maruya's words. But for a moment he understood who this opponent meant. “Ah you mean Ruze, yes she also fought with you. I almost forgot, but don't get me wrong, he's not like me. If there was something that caught his attention he would definitely finish it to completion. But at that time he was in a state that could not choose, so it could only reach the limit. While I only obey what I think is right. I've analyzed my strength and your strength. If we fight again, it will definitely be a big fight that shakes the arena. But it was troublesome so I gave in, but remember this saying. You are so strong, so strong I want you to come with me to the kingdom of Kurosido.” At the end of his explanation Rugia invites Maruya to join her. Of course it was very surprising even to everyone in this colosseum.

“I refuse...” firmly Maruya.

“Decorating, only this first time anyone refused my invitation. Alright..” Rugia turned her body and walked slowly leaving the arena. “Hopefully we can meet again, and at that time..” He turned his body around for a while and looked at Maruya from a distance. “I want to fight again with you.” After his last words, he had completely disappeared from within the arena.

Everyone fell silent, a fight that felt like a repetition where Maruya's previous opponent also gave up when the fight was hot. Maruya stared intently at the place where Rugia had disappeared, now he himself turned from that place towards the exit of the arena.

“Adventures from Kurosido, both choose the same thing. Surrender in the middle of the fight, I became confused as to what they are following this competition.” Yugi analyzes about today's events. But I haven't found the right answer yet. Putting the matter aside, regardless of what Maruya felt, perhaps she felt being played by the two adventurers from Kurosido kingdom. “Seeing her personality anyway I think she's fine.”

“We will enter the fourth fight, and here it is..” the screen above starts to randomize the name back and when it also appears the name of the participant who will fight next. “Adventures from the kingdom of Eartfil, Lugi.”

Hearing his name being called, the participant wearing the mask walked into the arena quietly. His aura radiated that he was dangerous, yet looked so calm, but within that calmness made the adventurers break out in cold sweat when they felt such a heavy atmosphere.

‘Indeed sometimes something quiet can hide dangerous things in it.’ Inner Yugi, he could also feel the unwearing atmosphere of that Eartfil adventurer.

“And his opponent is an adventurer from the kingdom of Legia, Redios.”

The referee calls one more participant who will be Lugi's opponent. There was Redios who was wearing an all-black robe with a hood that covered her head so that no one knew of her face. But he could feel an aura so gripping felt around him.

‘If she feels like a ghost, with such clothes plus such a dark aura. Not to be mistaken anymore, all children will definitely run scared.’ Although Yugi's criticism seems less pleasant to hear, but that's the reality. If seen the type of adventurer clothing Redios like a skull carrying a sickle.

“Alright both participants are already in the arena, then this fourth fight... STARTED.”
