Alvin started drinking the blood water he found in the room he was in right now, the room had been conquered by itself because it had defeated all the Crimson warriors by using only its two legs thanks to Crimson magic where as the user grew sicker the power of Crimson-magichis will be bigger, stronger, and more developed than ever permanently, "... ..." Alvin began to stare at the aura of C Crimson which showed a slight reflection of the tournament that was currently running, it seemed like his attention had just been sidetracked by some participants who had great strength.
"The Devil is known as the Oni... A powerful force, it turns out that the mortals do have different thoughts and goals for development. I can't believe that Shiratori Shira can step on the point where she can fight against a demon called Oni, like in the semi-finals... Shira and Majin will fight." Said Alvin who suddenly saw Korrina will fight against Ophilia where if someone wins then the winner will be immediately transferred to the semi-final place, Alvin could also see that Agfi was going to fight Rexa in a moment.
"Arata and Haruki... Hmphc... Interestingly, I did not believe that mortals like them would exist. It feels strange because... How can they survive the perverse of the gods and goddesses who are so fanatical about the balance of the universe?" Alvin asked while smiling cynically and he had great respect for Arata and Haruki because of their fighting ability and the strength they had as well.
Alvin began to rise from the floor filled with blood, "What am I doing here... I should have found a way out..." Alvin said, who began to move forward while showing a tired expression, he closed his left eye because his left eye was painful and blurry as he tried to force himself to look, not long after, Alvin fell down in front of him while looking at the two legs that had been blocked with clear blood, "... ...?!" Alvin started rounding his eyes and glanced up where he saw a little girl smiling.
"Lad..."
"R-RINA...?!"

"THE ROAR OF THE ICE KING!!! AN EXTREMELY COLD REGION CALLED THE REALM OF ICE!!! ZENAISU!!!" Shouted Ophilia who began to lift her card up so that the card shone light blue and began to make the arena freeze with ice that was very cold and hard, and so it was very cold, Korrina started avoiding all that ice while disappearing and appearing around Ophilia, "... ..." Korrina appeared behind Korrina, but Ophilia leapt forward and glanced back while pointing at Korrina using her card where her card began to pull out a large and long water dragon towards Korrina.
Korrina dodged all the attacks while using the illusion and she also held her katana tightly, too, he moved towards Ophilia at full speed as he did not want to fight for long enough as he had a project to work on, "I CALLED ZENAISU AND WATERUMA!!!" Ophilia raised her monster generation card up, she summoned two dragons that came from their respective regions such as the Realm of Ice and the Realm of Water.
"... ...!!!" Korrina shot a wave of sacred fire through her left palm and Ophilia was instantly protected by the Wateruma that revolved around her while trying to extinguish the sacred flame, korrina's two eyes began to turn into Crimson color where she saw Wateruma launching several whirlpools of water towards her, but Korrina flew upwards while dodging all of the magic attacks, "Ahh!?" Korrina was shocked when she saw all the whirlpools turn into clones of the Leviathan monster.
Korrina began to pull her katana out and then she destroyed all the whirlpools in the form of Leviathan using electricity that contained Sacred power in her, he slashed all the whirlpools that surrounded him and ended all the magic with a sacred electric wave shot towards Leviathan who was in front of him, korrina's magic was able to destroy the clone's Leviathan so that his magic shot towards Ophilia.
ZBUUSSHHHH!!!
Ophilia was protected with Wateruma and it made Korrina smile naively as if she had just been underestimated, "THUNDER SACRED BOLT!!!" Korrina shot a dark blue thunderbolt towards Wateruma and made the monster roar violently in agony and her body filled with water began to regenerate the new water, but it made Ophilia depressed because she felt a slight shock from Korrina's electricity. Korrina began to split into pieces that meant she was using the illusion of a clone, Ophilia rounded her eyes as she looked at Korrina who was surrounding her while launching a huge thunderbolt towards Wateruma.
ZBASHH! ZBASHH! ZBASHH!
"Ophilia still survives at this point?!" Akina asked while showing a surprised expression, Arata felt proud to see Ophilia who lasted quite a long time against Korrina who was in her serious mode, that meant that he would give Ophilia a reward when the fight was over, "Great as well, Ophilia. You were able to last long enough against a noble from the Comi family."
Korrina continued to cast her electric magic nonstop, making Wateruma shrink as well as the entire body of Ophilia who began to be stung with some electricity that had volts around hundreds, "U-Ugh... I can't run away or counter-attack like this..." Ophilia, the Ophilia, he jumped up and clenched his fists in front of Wateruma, causing the dragon to explode and cause a tsunami of water around the arena, causing Korrina to dispel the illusion and create a barrier in front of him so as not to be hit by the water wave caused by Wateruma.
"ZENAISU!!!" Tell Ophilia so that Zenaisu begins to circle Ophilia's body and then spit out ice waves towards all the water that is under them all causing all the water to turn into ice and also make both soles korrina's frozen legs, "... ..." Korrina glanced upwards and she saw Zenaisu shooting out several ice spikes that were about the same size as a meteor.
ZWASHH!!!
Korrina smashed all of the ice by just pointing at her using the katana she was holding, Korrina started to stare at Ophilia with a gaze that looked deadly as she spent quite a long time. Ophilia could only stare at Korrina while holding her card tightly so she rounded her eyes as she saw Korrina arriving in front of Ophilia while swinging her katana, korrina's speed increased so much that Ophilia was lucky enough to create an ice wall in front of her and make Korrina slash the ice and Ophilia bounce back.
Ophilia began to rise from the floor and then she began to tell Zenaisu to protect herself while attacking Korrina with some ice balls, Korrina slashed all the magic using her katana alone, "So what is it...? The illusion...? Speed...? Sacred...?" Said Ophilia, who started to feel nervous because of Korrina's movement, almost made her lose, korrina's movements seemed like teleporting forward with just less than a second and she was already in front of her, "O MAI GUDNESS...!!! HE WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE FASTEST ATTACK OF KORRINAA!!!" Shouted Jorgez.
"It seems like it made Ophilia surprised and that her current thoughts were either going anywhere." Morgan said, Ophilia started using her Phoenix Armory Battle Form just in case, her entire body was also currently being twisted by Zenaisu, "I've never seen a speed faster than before. Am I daydreaming...? I should have focused." Ophilia.
"His essence, earlier it was dangerous if I focused and daydreamed in the fight against a daughter from the Comi family. I must be sure and be able to make Arata proud that I'm going to shatter-" Korrina began to hold the handle of her katana so that she arrived right in front of Ophilia while showing a look that looked like it was threatening, "AHH!?" Korrina slashed at Ophilia's chest making her Phoenix Armory Battle Form and Zenaisu crumble, "OPHILIA!!!" Akina shouted so that Ophilia instantly turned into yellow-colored flames.
Korrina gave a small smile that left her arm covered with Crimson aura, all the spectators and the judges were immediately shocked to see Ophilia's right cheek and two arms being slashed and the slash wound was bleeding quite a lot, "T-No way...! Ophilia had just been fatally injured enough that her blood was starting to come out from her wounds, Korrina Ghifari was the first player to successfully injure her opponent in this match." Said Morgan who looked surprised because of Korrina's increasingly advanced ability to increase.
Korrina began to put her katana back into her scabbard and made everyone cheer and clap, "I don't understand... Is this all illusion, magic, or its own speed? Time jump magic could be. Because, Akina once said that Korrina has time jump magic." Reveal Ophilia while removing all the blood that fell. Korrina reappeared right in front of Ophilia and Ophilia immediately appeared behind Korrina, it seemed as if Ophilia was a little convinced that Korrina was using time-leap magic capable of making her speed increase.
"Look more clearly." Korrina split herself into three clones and it made Ophilia startled as she sensed the existence of Korrina starting to surround her, Zenaisu was slashed away by the real Korrina and Ophilia was cornered by two clones of Korrina whose movements were extremely fast. Ophilia was not given a gap to attack but her entire body began to be exposed to several attacks so that the jury could not issue any words, "Jorgez... What say?" Morgan asked as he looked at Jorgez who seemed silent while staring at the fight was quite serious.
"You're silent, it's rare."
Ophilia could only show an expression that looked disappointed towards herself and felt stupid for not knowing what Korrina was doing, all the surviving participants would clearly learn how to fight Korrina as well as her powerful and mysterious magic like this one, "It seems like Korrina used the speed of Sacred and Crimson magic, after all, the illusion of thought, and the leap of time combined into one thus made Ophilia confused. Honestly, I was actually confused when I saw that Korrina could move so unnaturally, I was sure that Ophilia was only focusing on Korrina's fighting movements, not her magic or the magic she combined into one." Arata started talking.
"If Ophilia did not give up or look for a chance to win then she could have lost in a painful way." Ophilia leaped backwards while breathing heavily, she started using her Phoenix Armory Battle Form thus making all her injuries regenerate due to the flames coming out through the armor, "I did everything I could to exceed my limits. Way is... The legend never gives up against an enemy that is much stronger than itself. I have to win and meet Akina in the semi-finals later, then... I'm planning on going to the final to be able to fight Arata!" Said Akina who began to show her fighting horses.
"O MAI GAWWWDD!!! IT SEEMED LIKE OPHILIA STILL WANTED TO CONTINUE HER FIGHT WITHOUT HAVING TO GIVE UP! THE LEGEND RACE IS GREAT!!!" Shouted Jorgez loudly, he could speak back as usual, "I can't keep holding on... I have to attack! In my own way!!!" Ophilia began to launch several fire feathers towards Korrina which were hurtling straight at bullet-like speed. Korrina appeared right in front of Ophilia at an even higher speed.
Ophilia began to raise both of her arms up so as to make the floor that Korrina stepped on spew out a huge wave of lava flames, which she was about to burst forth, the wave was able to make Korrina bounce up and Ophilia launched a few more fire feathers towards Korrina, the feathers when it hit her enemy would burn their skin and their bones. Korrina slashed all the feathers and she saw several waves of lava that began to encircle her while trapping her, "... ..." Ophilia began to exert everything by launching various fire magic that set the katana Korrina on fire.
OHHMMMM!!!
The arena was filled with various fire magic so that all the spectators as well as the judges could not see Ophilia and Korrina anymore due to being blocked by the myriad of smoke, Korrina absorbed all the flames and she arrived in front of Ophilia by slashing her chest, "Hehhh..." Ophilia began to turn into fire feathers and the fur exploded, leaving Korrina caught off guard and shocked, she bounced back and saw countless types of dragons gliding towards her.
Korrina moved towards all the dragons and slashed them into pieces at a speed that could not be seen just like that, Arata felt quite surprised at Korrina's ever-increasing and changing speed and manner of fighting as if she had great experience in all things about fighting, she said, Korrina glanced forward where she saw Ophilia smiling, "BAMUSHIGARU!!!!" Shouting Ophilia so loudly that she pointed at Korrina using the card she was holding, Bamushigaru darted out of the arena then launched some green-colored mist. Bamushigaru is the largest dragon in the universe of Touri and he comes from the Oath region or bus called the Realm of Oath.
ZBUSSHHHHH!!!
All the spectators and even the judges could not see the fight and the green fog that was blocking, Korrina felt nauseous because she sucked the green fog, he began to show a look of disgust as he sensed the existence of a monster that had Oath magic, "Ughhh..." Bamushigaru began to try to attack Korrina with Ophilia, but Korrina resisted all the attacks they had deployed easily.
Korrina began to see the form of Bamushigaru and he moved quickly so that he slashed Bamushigaru's body into several small pieces, it gave Ophilia a chance to gather her full strength and ended Korrina's fight against Bamushigaru, "Phoenix Spirit of Highness!" Said Ophilia so that her yellow flames started burning heavily and made her entire body feel light, Korrina was currently still slashing at the surviving Bamushigaru due to her great regeneration magic, "In a moment, again, Bamushigaru will disappear which means that this is my chance to attack Korrina with everything I have!"
Bamushigaru shone and disappeared and that made Korrina pushed back while closing her eyes, Ophilia arrived behind Korrina while pulling both her fists back, he had already gathered his full strength and he only needed two fists that hit Korrina's back to be able to win, "FIST OF PHOENIX RAGE!!!" Shouted Ophilia so much that she realized that Korrina was slowly glancing back.
"Time Stop..." Korrina smiled and a necklace that symbolized time began to shine, Ophilia's entire movement as well as the audience and judges stopped for ten seconds, Korrina began to gather Crimson's power through the two fingers on her right hand, he removed his katana and flicked Ophilia's forehead using both fingers covered with Crimson magic.
OHHMMMM!!!!
Ophilia bounced back and smashed the barrier behind her, she fell on the red-colored ground which meant that Korrina had won and advanced to the semi-final round, "... ..." All the spectators and the judges opened their mouths as wide as possible because Korrina had just used Time-Stop magic, "So so... She has a magic time stop because of the necklace Haruka wears." Akina said with a surprised look.
"AWWWW YEAAA!!! THE FIGHT WAS WON BY KORRINA GHIFARI!!! THAT MEANS HE HAS ADVANCED TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!" Shouted Jorgez loudly so that all the spectators cheered loudly and clapped their hands as loudly as possible because they were satisfied to see the fierce fight of the two of them, Korrina walked forward and saw Ophilia who was being assisted by Arata, who was not happy, Ophilia looked at Korrina with a surprised-looking expression, "Great fight, Korri--"
Korrina bowed her head to Ophilia and it made her surprised, "Thank you for giving such a great fight, it seems like my experience has increased again. I'm honored to fight with you." Korrina said, she walked away and left Arata and Ophilia alone, "E-Ehh...?"
"It looks like Korrina is aware of your spirit. You've been honored by her, Ophilia." Said Arata who started kissing Ophilia's lips for a while, "Hmm... Seems like..." Ophilia smiled.
