"Four down, four to go."

I look at my opponent and release a long breath. Lyon, Georg, Ferid and Galleon. They are dangerous combinations. My mana is almost gone, but I still have my rune. However, I have a feeling it will not be enough for me.

You know what? Fuck it. I will try my best.

"Let's start our last dance!"

I grin and dash forward. Just like always, Galleon blocks me, and this time Georg and Ferid immediately attack us. With a wave of my hand, a wall of ice appears around me to block both of them.

I widen my eyes when I feel a presence coming from my back. I grit my teeth when a sharp weapon manages to damage my armor. I look back and see Lyon attacking me. I forgot that she is a former assassin. Masking her presence is something she can do.

"Soaring Bolt!"

I scream and release twenty balls of lightning that explode. It is good enough for me to create some distance. After gaining some distance, I activate my water rune.

"Ice Spike!"

Seven Ice Spikes appear in front of me and fly toward my opponents. However, the massive ice spike was destroyed before it could even reach them. Georg is the one destroying them. I block his sword and quickly move away from him.

However, before I could even make a distance between us, Ferid appeared next to me and swung down his sword. I barely manage to block his attack, but my body gets thrown away a dozen meters because of the impact.

What a monstrous strength.

"Kindness drops."

I can feel my body healed, and my energy is back. Sadly, this spell cannot restore my mana. I continue to charge forward with my body healed and my stamina restored.

|3rd POV|

Sialeeds, who watches from the side, looks at the arena with a frown on her face.

"How long since they start fighting?"

"Almost two hours now."

Sialeeds nods at her sister's words. It has been two hours of fighting, and the people in the arena still fight as if they have not fought for two hours.

"It is sad to see Lyon fall earlier." Sialeeds says, "I want to see her keep fighting."

"Fufufufu. You cannot blame her, sis. She is an excellent fighter but she is still young and her stamina cannot be compared to those four."

Standing in the arena are four people, Georg, Ferid, Galleon, and Jacob.

"Yeah," Sialeeds nods her head. "They are really monsters."

"Hey! You can't call them that!"

Princess Lymsleia suddenly shouted. Among the spectators, she is the most excited to see the fight. Even after two hours, she never once complained.

"Fufufu~ Are you defending your betrothed's honor?"

Queen Arshtat laughs a little and decides to tease her.

"Mother!"

Sialeeds can only look at her little niece with a smile that hides her true feelings. She wants to tell Jacob to take her away so they can live just the two. However, she also knows the noble will make things worse for both of them.

The noble will have a reason to hunt him down, and she doesn't want that.

*BOOM*

She snaps from her thoughts when she hears another explosion. When the ash disappears, the people can see Jacob still standing in the middle of the arena. However, his entire body is full of wounds, and he is panting.
