The darkness from the explosion of dozens of spheres engulfed the entire space, so the arena was covered by an impenetrable veil as though fog for a while.
"Damn... Naless was serious after all. That explosion destroyed the barrier, there must be nothing left of the Reaper." Vincenz muttered with a serious look while directing energy to the damaged parts of the barrier.
After a while, the darkness dissipated as everyone could see what was behind it. Everyone was curious to know who the winner of this incredible battle was, though most were sure it was Naless.
"Wait... What's going on...?" The man mumbled while in confusion as he rubbed his eyes as though trying to see sothing.
"Where's Naless... Where's Reaper..." His mate uttered with a dazed look, "Was the explosion too powerful that they both died?"
"No! That can't be!" Vincenz exclaid in an angry manner, "They got away! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Vincenz gritted his teeth as he stomped his foot with all his might. The audience had never seen Vincenz act like that, so everyone quickly realized it was true.
"Phew... I knew there was sothing wrong here." Vincenz sighed while calming down, "Although this is the most unusual finale that I've seen, amazing emotions... but who won after all?"
Vincenz looked at the lights that flickered strangely as if Colosseum was trying to figure out what to do about the situation.
"Hey, he's right. Even though Naless and Reaper escaped, Colosseum still has to pick a winner." Soone said while pointing to the lights.
"Yeah. This is a unique case, but there has never been a draw in the Colosseum's history, so let's just wait." The woman nodded in a serious manner while keeping her arms crossed.
Everyone was in agreent with her as hundreds of gazes went to the flas.
After a while, the Reaper's na lit up red while a crown appeared over Naless.
"Huh, I knew Naless had won!" The spectator exclaid with a happy look as he clenched his hand into a fist.
"Wait... What is this?" The man pointed to the crown, "Why isn't it gold?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about?" His buddy mouthed with a confused look before looking at the crown, then his eyes went wide as though he saw sothing impossible.
Everyone was shocked as a diamond crown floated above Naless that was several tis larger than the gold one. The audience whispered as they tried to figure out what it was, but no one knew the answer.
"Ahahahahahaha." Suddenly, from the west side of the Colosseum ca a powerful laugh that made everyone pay attention to it.
"You idiots can't even understand what just happened!" The man uttered in a mocking manner.
The man had long blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and massive snow-white wings behind his back. There was a powerful aura emanating from him that surpassed anyone else in the Colosseum.
"It's Odvar Seim!" Soone exclaid while in disbelief.
"What...? He's number nine on the ranking chart!" His buddy said with an excited look.
"One of the Top 10 has been here all this ti? Damn! How could I not see that?" The spectator muttered as he clutched his head.
Every strong fighter was a star in the Colosseum, especially newcors like Naless and Reaper, but the Top 10 had a special position. They were practically the ten strongest people in the Fourth Chronicle, so they had trendous popularity and influence.
"Of course, I watched that fight, and I have to say that Naless just fucked you all up! Ahahahahaha." Odvar smirked as he spread his wings that were bigger than himself.
Odvar continued, "I realized in the middle of the fight that Naless and Reaper knew each other. If you were strong enough, you could see that none of his blows were fatal, moreover he never once touched her mask, it's just a miracle!"
"But... what happened at the end?" Soone asked, "You must have been able to see it, right?"
"Yeah..." Odvar nodded, "Naless opened a portal as they disappeared into it. Normally, you can't open a spatial rift in World of Darkness during arena combat, so... Naless seems to have Spatial Skills."
Everyone fell silent for a while as they pondered what had happened.
"The Diamond Crown ans that Naless showed the highest level of combat. Usually, only mbers of the Top 10 get the Diamond Crown, but as you can see, there are exceptions." Odvar said with a serious look before rising, "In any case, there's only one thing left to find out now. Which Rating will Naless and Reaper get?"
Whooooooosh.
At the sa ti, the lights flashed brightly as everyone saw the updated Rating of the two fighters.
Reaper got 80 instead of 114.
"What... But she lost..." The man muttered in a confused manner.
"Yeah... However, she's already lit the Third Torch, so... that's probably fair. She'll easily beat anyone with a Rating of 100 " His buddy uttered.
Naless went from 97 to 36, which was an incredible rating for any fighter, even the most experienced.
"36..." Odvar muttered, "Well, it looks like Naless will make it to the Top 10 soon... He'll have to fight one of us for that. Huh, I hope it will be !"
Whooooooooosh.
Odvar flapped his wings as a golden portal appeared in front of him in which he disappeared.
Slowly the audience began to disperse with dazed looks as, for them, this was the most incredible fight in a long ti.
'Naless... You have so many powers, and you hide your face so carefully... Are you...?' Vincenz inwardly muttered while rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner.
...
Crackle
A dark gap appeared in the air from which a man in a black and red coat with a girl in a purple mask fell.
The man landed on a dense layer of ice as he carefully caught the girl in his arms. The girl wanted to say sothing but didn't have ti as the man pulled off the mask, revealing his face.
"Phew... Honestly, hiding your identity is pretty exhausting." Wain shook his head as he smiled, "Isn't that right, Zero?"
