Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 57: Maximus Potentia Tournament Part Six (Part 7)
The giant dragonfly roared with a loud voice, then shot towards Arai's phoenix at a speed that exceeded lightning. Under each of its wings, two gigantic sword blades as sharp as daggers were attached.
"Phoenix, spew fire!!" arai's orders.
The Phoenix nodded in understanding as it let out a voice like the cry of an eagle, then spewed fire at the giant dragonfly, but it was too late. The giant sword that was under the dragonfly's wings had already grazed Arai's phoenix. The huge bird screamed in pain, then flew as fast as lightning towards the giant dragonfly named Inukai, trying to claw it. Unfortunately, he lost quickly. Inukai had first dodged and attacked him repeatedly. The Phoenix cried out in pain once more. He could not regenerate his injured limb because it required a three-second pause, and Inukai did not even give him a chance to sigh for a moment. The wings and the entire body of the phoenix were now filled with sabetage wounds. Unable to bear the weight of Arai and himself, the Phoenix staggered from losing its balance, then fell towards the trench of the arena barrier.
"Damn!!" arai Ompat. He jumped down from the phoenix recklessly, no matter how he had to plunge from the height of the equivalent of the third floor. Unfortunately, apparently under Ryugai was waiting for him by riding Inukai.
"Ikai!! Fire it!!"
The order was directly obeyed by Inukai. He hurriedly shot out balls of dark energy from within his body.
"Great!!" Quickly, Arai created a protective ball made of fiery red energy. The ball managed to protect his body from Inukai's attack, but the red-haired young man bounced away until he fell into the arena's trench.
Arai smiled wryly. The red energy ball. "It's embarrassing, but I have to admit it. This time, you win, Ryugai."
"The winner is ... Yuzumoto Ryugai!!! The Evolution technique makes the state turn 180 degrees!!! Really, it was an absolutely amazing comeback epic!!! So much for today. We'll continue the tournament tomorrow."
"Ooooooooooo!!!"
The lively cheers instantly sounded clearly from the direction of the spectator stands. They shouted Ryugai's name over and over again. Ryugai smiled as he raised his head proudly, then jumped down from the Inukai's back. He stepped closer to Arai and extended his hand. The favor was immediately received by Arai.
"It seems, I have to be more diligent in practicing," said Arai as he stood up. "I'm not on par with you yet."
"But, you're great, man," Ryugai said. "You managed to overwhelm me. I would have lost had I not learned the Evolution technique just in case."
"Yes, yeah. You won today, but remember, one day I will beat you. Take it well, Ryugai."
"Yes. I will definitely wait until then, Arai."
“The match is done, yes?” Then, let's go back to the waiting room, clean up, and go home. I'm thirsty and tired, nih.” Ryugai reversed his steps, then walked towards the waiting room, followed by Arai.

In the waiting room ....
The waiting room still seemed crowded by participants, but it had reduced quite a lot because there were some participants who went straight home after the turn of the match ended. Genbu, Akiyama, and Shiro were still sitting sweetly on their respective benches.
“Hei!” hello Akiyama. “How was the result?”
“Ya, yes. To beat a weak youth who was overwhelmed just because I used a phoenix, huh?” sindir Arai while putting back a bottle of leather to his bag. He just swallowed the contents of the bottle.
“Stupid!! Don't tell me!!” Ryugai elbowed Arai's back.
“Don't be arrogant or you'll be like the old me, Ryugai,” Genbu.
“Dengerin, tuh.” This time, it was Arai's turn to elbow Ryugai's shoulder.
“Iya, yes ...,” says Ryugai. “By the way, from earlier I did not see the appearance of Genbu and Akiyama. Your name was called no, anyway?”
“Actually, our match is not today.” Akiyama scratched the back of his head which was actually not itchy at all.
“Yes, we came just to watch. Hehehehe,” timpal Genbu cengengesan. “We lied to the tournament management staff and waited in the waiting room to look cool. If you are in the audience, we will look weak.”
“Yes, even though I have been waiting for Genbu badass appearance since the beginning of the tournament.” Ryugai pursed his lips like a child sulking. “Kok sprains, yes ...,” her inner with a sweat bulb running down her forehead.
“Already, already. You can see it tomorrow. Now, hurry up and go home. We must quickly rest because tomorrow the tournament will resume.”
“How about we walk together until crossroad?”
“Wah, great idea.”
“I agree.”
“While enjoying the twilight of\~\~ see the sun that sinks towards the horizon\~\~ The sun is tired, but has not given up on continuing to shine on the earth. Therefore, he will rise again from the horizon and fight to shine the earth in the morning the next day\~\~”
“Hey, don't be poetic.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hey, what are you doing? Quickly clean. So go home together or not?”
“Good. Sorry, sorry.”
