52 Then Its Decided (2/2)

Far away in the ocean. Arima and Raal were standing on water. Night started changing form and the same thing happened with the bull on the other side.

Night transformed into a fifteen meters tall dragon while the bull simply changed into a ten meters bull. Raal became astounded by Night though

”That cub was your soul beast!? I knew that your soul beast was a dragon but never did I think it was able to transform into a small wolf cub. That's impressive, I thought it was just a tamed wolf” The latter said

Arima laughed ”The bull at your side is also extremely big. Now, let's go” He said, Raal grinned and nodded ”It's been a while, [Resonance]” Night became a black and red light that recovered Arima.

”It's time Rayord” Raal said and the bull beside him nodded ”[Resonance]” The same phenomenon occurred and Rayord became a light fused with Raal.

During their fusion, their auras already started fighting, the sky was slowly becoming dark and threatening, the wind was blowing strongly and the water became agitated.

After their resonance, Raal had become bigger by at least a meter, he grew a second pair of horns a lot bigger than his own, his skin darkened and hardened and he called a huge great sword in his hand.

Arima had gained scales on his arms princ.i.p.ally, they were a lot thinner than before but looked stronger at the same time. His hair grew until the middle of his back this time. His eyes became crimson with a slit in the center and the snow star patter returned in silver color. His wings were a bit bigger and his tail seemed to be longer and had a gray mane on it. Arima called Karma and unsheathed it, he broke two seals and its aura spread.

Arima and Raal looked at each other for a moment then disappeared from their position, the water also exploded under their feet and they reappeared in mid-air with their weapons clas.h.i.+ng. That first strike already pushed back the water and made the earth shake.

At that moment, Arima had suppressed his strength, so he returned to when he was at the tenth level. It was without saying that the physical strength of Raal was great but the difference in the weapons was obvious, Karma was pus.h.i.+ng back the great sword.

Raal smirked and his sword glowed and started pus.h.i.+ng Karma. Arima deviated Raal's sword and used Karma's sheath to hit the latter. That exchange created another shock wave that could destroy a fortress if there was one.

”That was unexpected, I never thought you would specialize in Spirit magic” Arima said when they were apart by a few hundred meters.

Raal laughed and shouldered his sword ”Is it that strange? Spirit magic is really useful, you can control all elements and even enchant things in fight with it” He said

Arima smirked and thunder roared, the sky brightened with purple lightning and Karma became surrounded in black fire and lightning.

Raal became serious and the water around him started elevating and spinning, the wind also blew stronger. A cyclone formed in the sky and pushed the thunder clouds away.

On one side, thunder was rumbling and on the other, a cyclone was transforming the water and the wind into a threat.

”[Aeterna]” Arima swung Karma and a dark wave flew towards Raal

”[Marine's wrath]” The latter waved his sword and a two-colored wave clashed with 'Aeterna'. The resulting explosion pushed the water until the bottom of the sea. And while that explosion wasn't finished, Arima and Raal charged at each other in the middle of it and engaged in close combat.

Tornadoes appeared time to time and clashed with the purple lightning that fell from the sky.

”[Forta.s.se Aeterna Noctem]” Arima chanted and Karma became shrouded with a huge energy of both fire and lightning but he didn't send it as a wave and brought it in close combat.

”[Element's Judgment]” Raal did the same as his opponent and clashed his infused weapon with Karma.

The new discharge of magic, overtook the precedent that still wasn't finished and transformed more of the sea into a barren ground. Arima and Raal both phased their body with their own mana and crashed on the ground which was the former sea floor.

They soon got up and clashed one more time with a grin on their faces. They continued to fight in that way for almost an hour, without stopping once, they kept clas.h.i.+ng with swords and magic.

They were in the middle of the ocean but barely any water could be seen in the horizon. Only lightning that was creating craters, and tornadoes that were going wild, there was nothing else.

At some point, the two fighters became a kilometer apart from each other.

”[To beat the strong, you need to become a devil]” The Demon King chanted and his body started growing taller and bigger, his eyes became red, he grew some fangs and his body started changing. His body became entirely recovered in a blue fur, his face began to distort and his legs bent. Ultimately, what was left was a six meters tall minotaur holding a new great sword, bigger than the last one.

”[Agnitio vultus unum centum]” Arima used his enhancing magic and his body also grew bigger, although it was a lot less than Raal. At the same time, his skin and flesh started crumbling away to reveal a skeleton.

”That's quite an evil looking form” Raal commented

”Look who's talking” Arima retorted

Raal gripped his sword and it started glowing even stronger than before. Arima also released the third seal of Karma.

”It's time for the second round” They both said and vanished from their position.
