The arena had transformed from the previous duels. Massive stone platforms hovered above a shallow lake, connected by fragile bridges. Arcane glyphs glowed ominously along the walls, each pulse threatening sudden elemental hazards—fire geysers, ice spikes, wind vortexes. The crowd’s excitement was palpable, whispers buzzing about Koha, the quiet prodigy, facing three of Pollux Academy’s elite mages.
A herald’s voice boomed:34Please respect copyright.PENANAqVvWfhC625
“Next match: 3v3! Arkanis Academy—Koha, Rio, Yin! Pollux Academy—Magnus, Kael, Dorian!”
Magnus’s eyes glimmered with fire as he flexed his gauntlet. “Three on one? This will be entertaining,” he sneered. Kael’s fists crackled with ice and lightning. “Little mage… you’ll break before the first spell lands.” Dorian’s shadows slithered around him, his voice low and venomous. “Your light… I’ll enjoy snuffing it out.”
Koha’s hands tightened on Rio’s sword, the right hand steady, the left forming a new arcane blade, black and etched with violet runes. The diamond shard on his forehead glowed fiercely, magical circles appearing within his pupils. His voice, cold and commanding, cut through the tension: “Then come. I will decide who falls first.”
Rio leaned against the side of the arena, smirking. “Show them, little mage.” Yin hovered nearby, aura shimmering softly. “Trust your instincts… you are unstoppable.”
Magnus lunged, sending 火焔の矢 – Kasen no Ya – Fire Arrows streaking toward Koha while his gauntlet swung, launching 地震の鎖 – Jishin no Kusa – Earthquake Chains across the platforms. Kael fired a barrage of 氷河の牢 – Hyōga no Rō – Glacier Prison and 雷鳴の槍 – Raimei no Yari – Thunder Spear, the ice shards clattering against the stone with deadly precision. Dorian whispered chants, forming 虚無の結界 – Kyomu no Kekkai – Void Barrier, dark shadows enveloping him like liquid.
Magnus taunted as flames danced along his gauntlet. “You’ll bleed before you even blink!”34Please respect copyright.PENANAqkejv708Ku
Kael grinned viciously. “I’ll shatter every limb before you can think.”34Please respect copyright.PENANATdSvyiDhay
Dorian’s voice hissed like cold smoke. “Your blood will stain this arena.”
Koha did not flinch. The diamond shard on his forehead pulsed, magical circles spiraling in his violet eyes. His aura expanded, a violet-gold storm swirling around him. “Then bleed… it’s your cost, not mine,” he said, voice calm but full of lethal certainty. With a flash, he swung Rio’s sword, lightning arcing along its edge, deflecting fire and ice while his arcane blade in the left hand shimmered, absorbing residual energy.
The first strike landed brutally. Magnus’s gauntlet slammed into Koha’s right arm, cutting deep and spraying crimson. Kael’s ice spear embedded itself in Koha’s left thigh, shards biting through muscle and stone alike. Dorian lashed a dark arcane whip across Koha’s forehead diamond, a streak of blood glistening along the shard’s surface.
Koha’s body did not flinch. His aura flared violently, the magical circles in his eyes spinning faster, reflecting sheer determination. Whispering 魔力結界 – Maryoku Kekkai – Arcane Barrier, he absorbed and neutralized residual elemental energy. “You strike without hesitation… I strike without mercy,” he said, eyes burning with deadly clarity.
Koha moved with terrifying grace. He leapt, his left-hand arcane blade slicing through the air while 大地の拳 – Daichi no Ken – Earth Fist hurled Magnus into a fire geyser erupting from below. 流水の刃 – Ryūsui no Ya – Flowing Water Blades intercepted Kael’s ice spear mid-flight, shattering it into shards. 烈火の盾 – Rekka no Tate – Flame Shield repelled Dorian’s darkness, leaving him stumbling.
Magnus screamed, wiping flame from his arm. “How… how is he moving like that?!”34Please respect copyright.PENANA5RwxWsanCr
Kael’s eyes widened as he scrambled. “This… little mage… insane!”34Please respect copyright.PENANAeq2zN6wAtJ
Dorian hissed, shadows writhing around him. “He’s everywhere… controlling everything!”
Koha’s voice was icy, precise, and sharp as blades. “Arrogance is yours. Precision is mine.”
The arena erupted around them—spikes erupted from the platforms, wind vortexes threatened to throw fighters into the lake. Koha sprinted, 翼の疾走 – Tsubasa no Shissō – Winged Sprint, gliding over hazards while blood ran down his legs. Platforms collapsed beneath his feet, but arcane slashes from his left-hand weapon redirected falling debris.
He whispered 光の抱擁 – Hikari no Hōyō – Embrace of Light, a protective aura surrounding himself and Rio in a shimmering barrier. Kael swung residual ice shards, cutting into Koha’s right arm again, drawing more blood. Koha’s left-hand blade flared, absorbing the attack and sending energy ricocheting toward the attackers.
“You’ve taken my blood… now pay with yours,” he said, voice low and deadly.
Kael’s next strike landed in Koha’s leg, deep enough to slow him. Dorian’s arcane whip lashed across the diamond shard on Koha’s forehead, leaving a crimson line, but Koha remained upright, eyes blazing with magical circles.
“I am not fragile… I am the storm you cannot withstand,” Koha hissed, aura surging, violet-gold energy flaring from the shard.
Magnus roared, flames roaring with him. “You’re just a child playing with our power!”34Please respect copyright.PENANAnMZhKSirfF
Kael snarled, voice dripping malice. “I’ll enjoy breaking you in pieces.”34Please respect copyright.PENANAJbOt4pguql
Dorian hissed, shadows curling like snakes. “Your arrogance will be your end.”
Koha raised both weapons. Blood streaked across arms and legs, yet the aura around his diamond shard expanded, radiating dominance. Whispering 雷光剣 – Raikōken – Thunder-Light Blade, 流水の刃 – Ryūsui no Ya – Flowing Water Blades, and 氷結の矢 – Hyōketsu no Ya – Ice Arrows, a deadly vortex formed around him, combining sword, magic, and movement into a storm of lethal precision.
Rio, from the sidelines, could not hide his awe. “Little mage… you’re terrifying when you unleash it.”34Please respect copyright.PENANAVLPxndsiv8
Yin floated nearby, calm and intense. “Beautiful control… don’t stop now.”
The crowd gasped as the three enemies faltered for the first time, realizing Koha was not merely defending he was beginning to dominate.34Please respect copyright.PENANASaCBGqLnNa
The air trembled around Koha. The diamond shard on his forehead blazed violently, sending magical circles spinning in his pupils. His left-hand arcane blade radiated black-violet energy, crackling with unstable power.
Magnus roared, stepping forward, flames erupting from his gauntlet. “You think you can dominate us? Pathetic!”
Kael’s ice shards formed a swirling storm around him, voice dripping contempt. “Insane little mage… you will break, and I will enjoy it.”
Dorian’s shadows coiled like living snakes. “Your arrogance… it will be the end of you.”
Koha’s voice was cold, sharp, and commanding:34Please respect copyright.PENANAEOZp8KY384
“End? No. I am the reckoning.”
He whispered the first forbidden spell:34Please respect copyright.PENANALJvVWILbdB
虚無天秤 – Kyomu Tenbin – Scales of Oblivion
A shockwave of disintegrating energy erupted from Koha. Magnus’s fire gauntlet began to crumble mid-swing; Kael’s ice armor cracked violently; Dorian’s shadows twisted in panic, losing cohesion. The three staggered, eyes wide, blood trickling down from minor cuts intensified by the energy wave.
With a whisper, Koha activated Shadow-Flash Blitz: spinning his weapons in a deadly combination of light, fire, ice, and lightning.
The left-hand blade, his own creation, emitted waves of destructive energy, slashing Magnus across the chest, leaving burns and lacerations. Rio’s sword, now in Koha’s right hand, moved as an extension of his will, cleaving through Kael’s ice formations.
Blood ran freely from the twins’ cuts.
Magnus gritted his teeth, coughing flame. “He… he’s insane… everywhere at once!”
Kael stumbled, shoulder sliced open. “He’s… controlling… everything…”
Dorian’s shadows were shredded, dark liquid forming around him. “This… cannot… be…”
Koha hissed, aura flaring. “Insanity? No. Dominance… is clarity.”
The three enemies, enraged, lunged simultaneously:
Magnus swung the remnants of his gauntlet toward Koha’s legs
Kael hurled jagged ice shards at Koha’s arms
Dorian lashed a dark arcane whip across Koha’s diamond shard, streaking crimson
Blood ran down Koha’s arms, legs, and the shard, but he did not flinch. His left-hand weapon absorbed residual energy, glowing violently.
Koha’s eyes, magical circles spinning furiously, burned with dominance.
He whispered:34Please respect copyright.PENANAS0zG6oehIx
炎剣の閃光 – Enken no Senkō – Flame Sword Flash (right, Rio’s sword)34Please respect copyright.PENANAZqfnQRcU2q
雷鳴の槍 – Raimei no Yari – Thunder Spear (left, his own creation)
He spun into a deadly vortex. Platforms cracked beneath the force. Fire, lightning, ice, and shadows collided, shredding the arena’s hazards into rubble.
Lysander screamed, blood spraying from a deep wound:34Please respect copyright.PENANAX9yH7k0jcv
“He’s… insane…!”34Please respect copyright.PENANAtQa30OfEnR
Koha hissed, voice steel:34Please respect copyright.PENANA18Jx97Rzew
“Insane? No… dominance is clarity.”
Koha whispered another forbidden spell:34Please respect copyright.PENANAsSd1EBBKZ5
永劫の裁き – Eikō no Sabaki – Judgment of Eternity
Time itself seemed to bend around him. Magnus’s movement slowed, Kael’s ice formations cracked mid-creation, Dorian’s shadows frayed. Koha combined Mugen Kōki – Endless Radiance, Shadow-Flash Blitz, and the forbidden time-space manipulation, moving as a phantom around his enemies.
He delivered blow after blow:
Magnus was slammed into the ground by a thunderous arcane strike
Kael’s arms shattered as ice and lightning combined on his body
Dorian’s dark energy exploded violently, leaving him unable to stand
Koha’s aura now shimmered black-violet with gold highlights. Every strike left scorched stone, bloodied enemies, and crackling magic in its wake.
Magnus gasped, coughing blood. “We… we cannot…”34Please respect copyright.PENANAUs1N4ThR4I
Kael hissed, eyes wide. “He… he is… everywhere…”34Please respect copyright.PENANATB77Z98GbU
Dorian muttered, voice trembling, “Impossible… he is death…”
Koha’s voice rang out, cold and absolute:34Please respect copyright.PENANAj0mBtyfa0X
“Death? No. This is inevitability.”
With all three enemies staggered, Koha raised both weapons overhead. His diamond shard blazed, and the magical circles in his eyes spun faster than ever.
He unleashed 虚無天秤 – Kyomu Tenbin – Scales of Oblivion again, 永遠の抱擁 – Eien no Hōyō – Embrace of Eternity, and 終焉の光 – Shūen no Hikari – Radiance of the End simultaneously.
The arena shook violently. Fire, ice, lightning, water, and shadow collided in a cataclysmic storm. The three Pollux mages screamed in unison as they were battered, bloodied, and thrown across the platforms. Each barely clinging to life, coated in bruises, cuts, and burns.
Koha walked forward, aura crackling. Eyes glowing with magical circles, diamond shard pulsing, left-hand blade radiating black-violet energy, right-hand sword crackling lightning.
He whispered, voice soft but deadly:34Please respect copyright.PENANAC1FDY15qXw
“Begone. You are finished.”
The three enemies collapsed, bleeding, defeated, and utterly humiliated. The crowd roared, witnessing Koha’s silent, terrifying dominance, a mage capable of controlling both battlefield and enemy will.
Rio shouted from the sidelines, grinning:34Please respect copyright.PENANAwwbPN2riPH
“Little mage… you’ve gone beyond terrifying. You’ve gone… legendary.”
Yin’s aura shimmered around him, calm and protective. “Beautiful… lethal… perfection.”
Koha lowered his weapons, aura dimming slightly, but the diamond shard still glowed faintly, magical circles lingering in his pupils. He stepped back, breathing steadily, eyes cold yet triumphant.
The 3v3 match was over. Pollux Academy lay bloodied, broken, and dominated, while whispers of Koha’s true, forbidden power began spreading through the arena.
