Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Wain's sword shone brightly in blue light as the ground trembled. Then, out of the ground burst dozens of huge ice spikes that filled the entire space while the biggest of them rushed towards Reidar.

"Damn, how much energy do you have?! This is not normal!" Reidar exclaimed as he swung his katana.

A few blue lightning bolts destroyed the ice spikes, but in their place, there were immediately others, that were even faster.

Reidar destroyed the spikes time after time while Wain continued to summon new ones, but even his energy reserves were not infinite.

'Wain, you can hardly hurt him this way. You need to change your tactics or you will soon run out of energy and then you will definitely lose.' Gladius said in a serious voice.

'Well, you're absolutely right, but I'm not going to stop.' Wain smirked as he let out even more energy than before.

'What?! This is stupid! You shouldn't lose a fight like this for such an idiotic reason as excessive over-energy!' Gladius exclaimed in a worried manner.

'Hah, it's just that we're thinking of very different things. Maybe you're more experienced in combat than I am, but you don't understand feelings at all.' Wain internally said as he stared at Reidar that shattered the ice spikes, 'Just a little longer and he'll reach his limit, and then it will be time for the best possible finale.'

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Reidar was shredding the ice spikes into tiny shards as gradually his face swelled up more and more and his gaze grew angrier.

'Shit! What the fuck is this?! Why can't he fight me normally?! Reidar inwardly exclaimed as he sliced the massive spike in two, 'Our finale shouldn't be like this! I must urgently get rid of this ice!

Tremble.

Reidar swung his katana as from the blade flew a lightning bolt that headed upward, straight toward the moon that brightly illuminated the arena. Then, a massive magical circle appeared in the sky that covered almost the entire Colosseum.

"Nameless! I won't let you keep doing this! Our fight must end with swords!" Reidar exclaimed with a serious look as he brought his katana down.

At the same time, dozens of lightning bolts flew out of the magic circle as if from thunderclouds, they hit the ice spikes and caused powerful explosions that destroyed everything in their path.historical

'Great. Now the two of us have less than a tenth of our energy left.' Wain inwardly muttered with a smirk on his face before jumping aside.

He created a barrier of darkness above him that protected him from several lightning bolts. For a while the sounds of the explosions continued, then Reidar finally decided it was enough.

"Well, well, that was impressive." Osvald said as a slight smile formed on his face while looking at the arena.

The entire area was covered in cold, thick steam that slowly dissipated and settled.

"Yeah. He spent a tremendous amount of energy, but none of those attacks could harm Wain. Those two seem to be thinking the same thing." Marlis uttered with a calm look but her curious look gave her away.

"Huh, maybe it's fate that they're the ones fighting now. Though their powers are different, they wish to end this fight the same way." Sven grinned as he showed a sly smile.

Whooooooooosh.

The steam slowly dissipated as everyone saw what happened to the arena after Reidar's attack. There were hundreds of craters on the ground as there was almost nothing left of the territories. There was only lifeless land with a few ice crystals lying around.

Wain removed the dark barrier, stepped forward, and said, "How about one last attack?"

Reidar smiled, tilted his head, and smirked, "You want to end this right now? Okay, your sword against my katana. My lightning bolts against your creepy power. I'm ready to use every last bit of it!"

Reidar held the katana out in front of him as he channeled all the energy he had left into it.

"Sure. What's better than one attack that will show exactly who's the winner and who's the loser?" Wain said with an excited expression before releasing his aura. His appearance returned to normal, as did the black and red mask on his face.

The energy transformed into dark spirits with creepy jaws and eyes that as though sacrificing themselves filled the sword blade with incredible power.

"Alright, this is it." Reidar smirked as the moon shone brightly.

From above came two huge lightning bolts, one blue, the other purple that filled the katana blade with thunder energy.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The energy flows began to shatter the space behind them into tiny shards as Colosseum trembled, however, no one and nothing could stop them.

Wain stepped forward.

At the same time, they both turned into flashes and a moment later collided with each other. Their weapons touched, causing a massive shockwave.

The ground cracked as it shattered into several massive pieces that flew up in the air due to too much pressure. Damage appeared on the barrier as much of the space was destroyed.

"That's not all!" Reidar exclaimed as he stepped forward.

The ground beneath Wain collapsed as lightning bolts from the katana rained down on him. They tore Wain's coat apart as Wain gradually leaned closer and closer to the ground.

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! At this rate, I'm going to lose! I can't let that happen! I have to get the seventh form if I want to know what the fuck is even going on in this world!' Wain inwardly exclaimed as his strength increased.

Wain had used everything he had, so now Reidar was close to falling and losing the fight.

Crackle.

The barrier shattered into small shards as half of the audience fell to their knees while holding their throats, trying to withstand the pressure.

"What? They broke my barrier?!" Marlis exclaimed while in disbelief as her eyes went wide.

'How is that possible! Where did he get this power from?! Reidar said inwardly with clenched teeth.

Whooooooooosh.

Darkness appeared in Wain's green eyes that remotely resembled a black thick fog. The next moment, Gladius' blade flashed as the dark sword went through the katana.
