Cana vs the Myrmidon.

They were facing each other on the stage waiting for the signal.

In the previous round Alea fought against the Myrmidon and just barely came out on top after he used his innate ability. Their punches are especially vicious as they were essential two arms in one, it amplified the strength of their blows.

The reason Broly won so easily was mostly because of his speed vastly outstripping his opponents. Without any chance to retaliate, Zyrd got completely dominated. Of course, even if a hit landed, it would be unclear if it could do heavy damage to Broly, as his body seemed to be especially tough, making him essentially a humanoid tank.

Alea and Cana are obviously different, they would be in great trouble if a hit landed directly on their body. Alea was able to win against her opponent because she surpassed him in raw power.

Cana on the other side, only surpassed him in their base strength, as soon as her opponent started to transform, her loss would be practically set. So, it was natural that she tried to end this fight as soon as possible.

She silently directed her ki into her hands, as they waited for the signal.

”Fight!”

She put both her hands together, pointing towards her opponent and pushed all the ki she could muster out of her hands. ”Haaa!”

A blue energy wave blasted through the air, ripping open the ground beneath it as it flew towards her opponent.

Before the attack connected, he jumped up, additionally using ki waves towards the ground to escape the attack by a hair's breadth. Doing a flip, he landed back on the stage, as he mockingly looked at Cana. Her face went pale as she saw that, she used a mayor amount of her ki for this attack.

”Are you dumb? It was clear that you wanted to end this before I transform. Of course, I would be wary of any sudden attacks at the start of the round. Well now it's too late. Hahaha.”

The Myrmidon started to transform as he was laughing. Without waiting for him to finish, Cana let out several ki blasts. Wanting to interrupt the transformation at any cost, she blasted the area where he stood. Explosion after explosion sounded out as the smoke cloud increased and the shrapnel flew through the air. The Myrmidon now nowhere to be seen.

”Haa. Haa. Haa. That probably didn't do much, did it?”

Since the referee or the city lord didn't intervene, it was clear that her opponent didn't die even though no ki could be felt.

Suddenly the smoke was blasted away as a figure in the middle appeared, shining in a red hue.

”Now it's my turn!” He dashed towards Cana upfront, as she intercepted his punch, he faded away like a mirage. A moment later Cana found her view starting to rapidly spin. Her shoulder felt as if it was crushed. She tried to stop herself by readjusting herself in the air but her high momentum made any attempts futile. Just as she was to fly out of the ring, she stopped. She was being held by her arm just a few tens of cm in front of the boundary.
