Back at the arena ,Ven Magnus stood silent, arms crossed, eyes pinned to Nivara Frost like a tactician watching a storm he seemed himself.
Ven Magnus:
(Low whisper)
"There we go. Go ahead and release it..."
Her aura exploded into frostbound entropy. A crystalline glyphs rose behind her--rotating shards that deflected logic and rewrote causality itself.
Nivara Frost:
(Furious)
"Enough! You're all arrogance and nothing else."
Her voice echoed as she release her power: Killer Impact: Automatically redirects misfortune and calamity toward anyone who purses or investigations anyone. The Coliseum's winds warped. Light twisted through power. The ground near Ven cracked subtly--as if logic itself was glitching.
Leo Draca:
(Mocking)
"Going all out, Cute. Bring it on."
He sprinted--intentionally provoking Killer impact. Calamity struck--a pressure wave snapped toward him. Leo stumbled, grunted...and dropped to one knee.
Nivara Frost:
(Laughing)
"I told you! That ability punishes fools. You just got tagged by reality itself!"
She launched it again, grinning--thinking Leo was falling apart. Ven didn't move. He simply chuckled. Setsuna, watching from the edge of the arena ground.
Setsuna:
(Whispering to himself)
"Something's wrong. Leo's not reacting...he's coordinating. And Ven hasn't lifted a finger..."
Suddenly Leo surged, speed beyond light itself. One blink later--he was holding Nivara's wrist mid--attack.
Nivara:
(Stunned)
"How--? You're still alive? That fast?"
Before she could finish, Leo unleashed a pure energy storm directly into her torso--so vast the arena dimmed. The attack consumed her fully, leaving her crumpled at floors center--still breathing.
Leo Draca:
(Smirked)
"My ability, is the ability to never get tired, which is called infinite Energy. I never weaken. I can summon my strongest attack forever. Touch someone once...it's done. No defense matters. No stamina. No recovery."
Nivara Frost:
(Staggered)
"That's...that's cheating. You monster!"
Ven Magnus and Leo Draca stepped closer, looking down. And then Ven and Leo spoke with a smirk
Ven Magnus:
(Smirked)
"Not cheating. Just inevitability."
Leo Draca:
(Evil smiled, and turning towards Setsuna)
"Don't you wanna save your friend? Or you also scared."
Setsuna:
(Fist clenched)
"I've had enough of your cockiness."
Ven Magnus:
(Smiling softly)
"Aww. Are you scared?"
At the Astral Universe Section--They were discussing about the arena and then blaze spoke.
Blaze Vortex:
(Turning to Void ling)
"Hey...you could use Void Annihilation on Leo, right?"
Void ling:
(Serious)
"Yeah. Why?"
Blaze Vortex:
(Serious)
"If we get the chance, use it."
Void ling:
(Smirking)
"No,fool. Void Annihilation isn't a tactic--it's a deletion. You do know it can erase concepts, space, even non--existence. And you expect me to use that on Leo? That ability would annihilate everything. It would be against the Law in this tournament."
Blaze Vortex:
(Smirked)
"Alright, alright. What about Void Dominion?"
Void ling:
(Serious and smirked)
"That? That one defies laws. Physics breaks. Reality bends to me. It's not a match--it's a rewrite."
Blaze Vortex:
(Half smirked)
"Fine. Then you don't use yours...but what about mine?
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"You mean Eternal Flame law? No fool...you can't use that of yours. Your flames consume everything. Universe. Time. Meaning. You will burn the entire world with that ability. You can't use that ability in this tournament, if you can limit it, then you can, but as for now no."
Blaze Vortex:
(Half-Smirking)
"Alright. What about my Inferior Leap then?"
Void ling:
(Looked at Blaze with a serious mock)
"You mean your concept--erasing speed? Blaze. Remember we are Transcendent beings in this tournament as mortals, and nobody here don't know."
Meanwhile at the Arena Floor--Setsuna glanced at Nivara, her eyes flickering between concern and calculation. With a deep,breath, she stepped closer and leaned in.
Setsuna:
(Whispering)
"We'll flip the tempo. You keep drawing pressure--push their overconfidence. While you counter...I'll break the flow. I'm activating my ability now: Absolute Tempo, it will allow me to phase through the strikes and I can move and attack at speeds that exists outside of normal chronology.
Nivara:
(Puzzled)
"Moving beyond time? How can you even do that? And also phasing their attacks is a huge advantage."
Setsuna:
(Calmly)
"You will see."
Leo Draca:
(Loud and condescending)
"What are you side chick's plotting over there?"
Setsuna:
(Blushing, Serious)
"Did you just call us side chick's? An imbecile like you couldn't even earn eye contact from a beautiful girl like me."
Ven Magnus:
(Smirking and arms crossed)
"Careful, princess. That crowns made of ego. We collect shattered pride around here."
Nivara:
(Stepping forward)
"Enough. So what's next. Setsuna?"
Setsuna:
(Whispering again)
"Let them underestimate us. You Killer Impact still active. Once I phase out, you corner Leo. I'll land behind Ven before his next calculation finishes. We act before their next breath."
Ven Magnus:
(Smirked)
"Are you girls done choreography your little drama?"
Nivara Frost:
(Coldly)
"Have some shame, moron."
Ven Magnus:
(Smirked)
"I don't carry shame. It weights down victory."
Leo Draca:
(Turned to Ven)
"Ven...you feel it? She's going ghost speed. Perfect. You handle the silent one. I'll bait the other one."
Ven Magnus:
(Nodding)
"Collapse their formation first. Let her sprint through time--she'll find nothing waiting when she arrives."
With a silent nod, Setsuna and Nivara launched forward--no hesitation, no drag. The air shimmered as time warped around them, Absolute Tempo paired with Killer Impact. They weren't just fighting--they were rewriting expectauon. Ven and Leo both moved instinctively, smirks locked in place... but this time, they were reacting.
Ven's eyes locked on the surge--he blinked downward, sensing an anomaly--Too late. Setsuna was already beneath him, her leg striking with gravitational tempo. Ven was launched skyward, coughing into midair--completely caught. Before gravity could claim him, Setsuna blinked beside him--floating in sync--and slammed both fists into his stomach, her aura blurring between seconds. Ven plummeted on the ground. Leo eyes widened--for the first time.
Nivara:
(Mid--rush, smirking)
"Not so fast, meathead."
Her foot smashed into Leo's spine--full force and frost--charged--sending him crashing into ths arena floor. Glyphs shattered. Stone peeled. The echo reverberated across the Coliseum.
Setsuna:
(Gliding to the ground, turn to Nivara)
"Nice work."
For the first time in this battle...Nivara smiled. And she spoke.
Nivara:
(Smiled)
"Guess we're finally dancing with fate."
At the Grand Throne- they reacted and spoke with impression.
Emperor Restu Kasumi:
(Eyes narrowed)
"The Tempo was real...and the coordination nearly mythic. They've danced outside causality. Impressive."
Empress Asuna:
(Contemplative)
"Setsuna's tempo manipulation...she's growing. I felt echo across the boundaries."
Empress Yasha Arashi:
(Cool and perceptive)
"But Ven hasn't shown his final layer. Leo's laughter is gone--finally."
At the Primeval Universe Section--and they spoke with calmness and Smirking
Lucian Nightgale:
(Smirking)
"They made them react. Good. First time Leo dropped the smirk. That's worth tracking."
Rex Noir:
(Arms folded)
"Killer Impact + Absolute Tempo? That's illegal in half the realms."
Thalass Blueheart:
(Smirked)
"But it's poetic. Pain wrapped in tempo."
Divinus Luminus:
(Analyzing)
"This is absolutely insane."
Back at the Arena Floor--Ven and Leo shifted. And they spoke. Ven Magnus wiped his mouth slowly.
Ven Magnus:
(Serious and calm)
"You timed that well. But tempo...isn't victory."
Leo Draca:
(Cracked his knuckles)
"Now I'm interested. Let's end this property."
The energy shifted. This wasn't banter or mischief. It was two tactician ready to close the curtain with respect and ruthlessness. Ven Magnus and Leo Draca stood back--to back, unmoving...then their bodies began to him with pressure. Their energy was rising.
Nivara:
(Wary)
"What is that energy...are you feeling this?"
Setsuna:
(Eyes wide)
"Yes. But how---how do they still have much energy left..."
Ven Magnus:
(Haunting)
"I was saving this for gods...but you've earned it."
Leo Draca:
(Smirked)
"You cracked me girls. Now let me show you my true power."
At the Astral Universe Section---They spoke, they were analyzing the battlefield.
Void ling:
(Arms folded)
"This is no good."
Blaze Vortex:
(Nodding)
"This is going to be another humiliation for the girls."
Ryuu:
(Calculating)
"This Ven and Leo, are one hell of a tactician mastermind fighters. They know how to calculate opponents moves, and think one ahead of the future.
King Ryder:
(Eyes closed)
"They're on longer fighting opponents. They're fighting structure. "
Back at the arena...the Glyphs glowed louder. Pressure rose. And the next strike...might be born before time allows it to be seen. Leo Draca stepping forward and spoke.
Leo Draca:
(Smirked)
"Bye byem"
The girls tensed. Confusion across the faces their instincts screamed, but too late. And Ven spoke.
Ven Magnus:
(Eyes narrowing)
"You see it now..."
Reality folded as both boys stuck in tandem. Their attack wasn't just physical--it came with timeline distortion, emotion--lock compression, and silence--splitting force. Setsuna and Nivara locked hands mid--fighting, pulled into each other's gravity as the blast overtook them. Fiora Luna, reaching out instinctively, was in awe. They crashed together, out of the arena boundaries. The crowd was gasped Nivara spoke.
Nivara:
(Breathing ragged, tears glossing her gaze)
"I'm sorry, Setsuna...
Setsuna:
(Pulled her into a hug with a smile)
"You fought beside me. That's more than enough."
Fiora Luna:
(Brushed her faced off)
"The three of us...did wellm
At the Grand Throne--Imperial Declaration. Emperor Resu rose from his throne, voice echoing across the realm.
Emperor Restu Kasumi:
(Voiced echoed)
"Ven Magnus and Leo Draca of the Obsidian Universe...You are declared victors, as therefore you shall face, Dracona and Pyra of the Dragon Fang Universe. As for Setsuna of the Elysian, Fiora of the Zenith and Nivara of the Paradox--you've been cast out of this trial...but your light remains written in the stars."
