I know I'm late but I had no internet for a while on this... I'm sorry, by the time it was done I couldn't find a connection... ;3;
As I watched in fear, I saw Chung... Smile? My fears were suddenly alleviated as I found out their motive. "Rena! Eve! Now!"
Eve nodded, shooting out a few lasers at the blue field quickly stretching across the are. My shield was beginning to crack under it's strength. 'No way! My shield's breaking?! I used too much excess mana for it to break!'
Oberon ran ahead, and sliced it up, adding cuts to the blue shield, then jumped backwards.
"Wind Wall!" Rena shouted, adding more cuts to the field, from a distance. "Chung! It's all up to you now!"
He smiled, and pointed his cannon at the shield, just a few feet away from them. "Got it. Heavy Railgun!" And once the enhanced missile crashed into the field, a hole shattered through it, the roar passing by them harmlessly.
The trio had a look of disbelief on their faces. Chung wiped his brow. "Our turn now." He smiled.
Eve snapped her fingers and a fist crushed them, nearly crushing them. However, Eve showed pity knowing they weren't monsters and slapped them with the fist against the side of the barrier, a cracking the shield.
Rena sent an arrow flying at them to verify their weak points, and the released a gust of wind from her bow, crushing them against the wall once more, and then a frosted arrow which exploding upon contact with them.
"Chung, are you ready?" He nodded in return to Rena's question.
"Yeah." I stole a glance at Helputt and Lime. They were both watching in disbelief.
"And here I thought Grand Archers were holy, kind, defenders. Rena's more like a demonic mother if you ask me..." Lime whistled.
"And those two servants. They seem to be, robotic... That must be Eve, the nasod queen's doing. But, what is Chung doing..."
I looked at Chung, and he shot a single missile into the sky. Helputt gasped. "Quickly! Open a hole for Rena and Eve, then duck!" He yelled quickly. I broke the barrier, the trio frozen by Rena's shot were unable to move, so it didn't matter anymore.
They were quickly thawing, however. I cast a shield around us, and we ducked. Chung muttered a single indecipherable word and then blocked with his cannon.
The missile dropped on them, barely cracking the ice at first. "Is that really i-" and then a deafining pitch rang in my ears as an explosion, disintegrating all rocks and easily destroying my shield as a high pitch sound rang through the arena.
'Oh my El, what was that?! That missile was compacted with an energy equal to the final branch in water! The Water Molecule splitter... I heard a few people had barely been able to use it, and to a weak extent...
It allows for any person who has learned it or enchanted item that must be activated with magic to split the water molecules in the air, causing a dry heat to consume the area and and as an empty source it takes other atoms setting a chain reaction. However, at most the explosion should be a blue light that sears away an area the size of a beach ball...
However, it does have the power to disintegrate practically anything if used properly, good thing that wasn't too bad...'
"Chung... What was that..." Chung looked at me confused, then smiled. "It's both water magic, my father's ability, explosives, and chemistry. You see, the magic Water Molecule Splitter was observed in our laboratory, and me and my father concluded it was of the same buildup as my father's 'roar's.
As a test we absorbed my father's roar and combined it with the magic, and they fit like twins. To make it more of an explosion, we added some chemicals used in the Destroyer and placed it into a missile. It took me a while to make one too..." Chung smiled, scratching the ears in his hair.
Helputt slapped Chung on the back. "Amazing job, son. You three make a fine team." He smiled, the sun rising behind him.
The horn suddenly rang, and everyone scattered. Once the dust had cleared around me, Chung, a sitting Eve with her mask on, and an unconscious Rena were left. The trio were unconscious, sent flying towards the coliseum's borders.
'Rena must be exhausted. Was she taking care of Elsword the entire time?' I thought worriedly. The Sakura Denvanam ran onto the battlefield with her spear, and quickly turned to shock.
"What? Huh? What's going on?!" She panicked. Someone came walking to us, clapping.
"I see those four have finished their battles and are now disqualified, considering there is no conscious victor..." The arena began to fill up with people chattering on how they missed the fight.
"I guess that you four shall settle your fights right now then." He said.
I blinked, and suddenly Ara was in front of me, clutching her weapon. My staff was in my hand too. I looked at Chung facing Eve, and the Collisseum, both ready for battle but confused.
I took a look at the Collisseum master and he smiled. "And may the semi final round of the tournament begin..." He smiled and slowly disappeared.
"Wait!" Chung called out, but he was already gone by then. He growled, then looked at Eve, who was actually unsure of what to do.
I took a look at Ara, who was nervously getting ready. She spun her spear, and got into a fighting position, so I grabbed my staff and readied myself.
The horn rang and we ran at each other. She jumped and seemingly walked on the air. Preparing myself, I spun my staff, and shot two... Fireballs at her?!
'My magic isn't ice anymore?! Well no matter, I'll find out the root later. Besides, this might not be so bad. It's weaker but has double the range and doesn't exert much pressure on me.'
The Sakura Denvanam sliced her spear at me, and grazed my hair a bit. I jumped back and placed a statue in front of me. The sudden summon had made her jump back in surprise, so I quickly jumped at her, phasing through the statue.
'It is light magic so I was able to make it special. Programming it to allow me and my allies to phase through it, but to surprise and release an offensive burst to enemies.'
I stabbed my staff forward, and smacked the side of her head. I then summoned a blaze that surrounded us, and smacked her back to push her back to the statue, and shot a fireball at her. Nimbly, I gathered wind with my staff by spinning it and then threw it at her in a sharp mini storm.
'A storm is only made better with lightning~' I smacked down on the wind, and released three bursts of lightning.
I quickly back stepped, and then prepared myself as she got ready again. She suddenly rushed at me and stabbed forward, catching me off guard. My shield blocked it, but the power of the stab shot an aura that stunned me as it struck my stomach.
Taking advantage of it, she quickly twisted her staff into unique positions, each position striking a pressure point with the wooden part. I dropped from the beating, and struggled to get up.
The Denvanam quickly gripped it and dived at me for one last shot. Growling, I whacked her side, and dropped to a knee. She staggered back, but prepared for a final attack.
I quickly kicked at her leg and printed a rune onto her stomach. She was pushed back by it, and it teleported her away from me, enough space to give me some time to slowly get better.
But that wouldn't work.
'I have to think up another plan, hurry!' I releases the shield around me, and stabbed my staff into the ground. I walked away from it, and she staggered in surprise. I opened my arms wide. No shield to guard me, no weapon to defend myself with. But I won't give up.
"If you want to beat me, you'll have to come here!" I shouted with all of my strength at her. She gasped, and wiped her eyes. Then she ran at me. 'She doesn't seem to bad, but I hope this'll work. It's the least I can do to win...'
As she approached the staff I planted on the ground, I smiled. Because with a shout, I dropped to the ground, exhausted of both mana and energy. I looked to her though. She was burnt, and fell to the ground.
'With the last of my mana, I released my barrier to the sky to create some clouds, and with her metal spear and my staff to boost the magical strength, she became a lightning rod for my storm... That iron rune I printed onto her didn't help her either...'
As I closed my eyes, I smiled.
"Winner! Elemental Master Aisha!"

I woke up on a bed, and opened my eyes. My wounds were sealed and my joints were able to move without pain. I saw orange hair, and turned to the chair next to me.
There was the Sakura Denvanam, staring at me with tears in her eyes, and a spear in her hand.
The room was empty with just us in it.
I haven't regenerated my mana yet.
She has a weapon and I don't.
"Y-you..."
Wait what. I typed 'Elemental' and at first it autocorrected it to Meow Mental. Autocorrect, really? Stahp... Ending chapter coming up next chapter! ^^
I secretly hope this was over 2k words...
