With his body completely shattered, Pirina remained on the ground, in a veritable pool of purple blood. Panting, from fatigue and pain, he could only growl as he stared at Law, as the pirate kept trying to find a way to defeat him. Using his power, Law had only chopped up his ally's body parts, over and over again. Initially, the Namekian had no trouble regenerating. However, currently, he was far too exhausted to regenerate his body yet again, as a multitude of arms or legs covered the ground.
Now with his head hanging off his shoulders, so much so that the rest of his lower body had been chopped off, he could only roar in frustration as he was at Law's mercy.
"You lost," Law asserted.
For any answer, Pirina tried everything. Opening his mouth, he let out a powerful ray that shot up to Law.
"ROOM! SHAMBLES!"
Simply changing his spot with a boulder, Law dodged the attack with no problem, before running towards Pirina. Then leaping over him, he let electricity cover his sword, as he pointed the tip of his weapon at the Namekian's body.
"KNIFE RADIO!"
Feeling a powerful electric shock touch him, Pirina screamed in pain, before he finally stopped moving. Turning his head to the side, he showed no signs of life.
"HEY, HE KILLED MY FIGHTER!" Champa roared, pointing at him. "THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES! DISQUALIFY HIM!"
"Indeed," approved the Grand Minister. "He would be disqualified, only if he had truly killed him."
"Tssss," Law hissed suddenly, addressed to the two deities.
Eventually grabbing what was left of Pirina's body, Law walked over to the edge of the pitch, asserting himself.
"Fortunately for you, I'm a professional! Not some amateur that can be found on a random corner! I would be able to slice this man's carotid artery without killing him."
Getting ready to throw Pirina's upper body into the void, Law found himself forced to duck to avoid an energy blast, which nearly hit his back.
Taking advantage of this opening, Saonel jumped above him, before letting his fist go to his face. Countering him with his Saber, Law struggled for a few moments against the Namekian's colossal strength, before finally feeling himself receding into the void. Having no choice, Law created a sphere in his hand before finally using it to escape.
Seeing this happening, Saonel focused for a few moments, before asserting. "He left, thank goodness."
Screaming, Pirina managed to regenerate her body again. Then remaining seated, using what time he had to catch his breath, the great Namekian finally apologized.
"I have dishonored my kind, and every Namekian I have fused with," Pirina solemnly spoke, but his fellow Namekian comforted him. "I'm a disgrace
"You did what you could," Saonel retorted. "I, myself, was almost the first to be eliminated from this tournament! Our mistake was to have attacked opponents without knowing their capabilities, as well as that Namekian from the Seventh Universe." While they never approached Piccolo, they could feel his enormous power from here.
"What should we do, in this case? Stay hidden to spy on the opponent?"
"We will start with that! And it will give your body time to recover energy! And then we'll launch a counterattack."
Jumping back, to dodge a punch that pulverized the ground, Leone was running away, followed by Gajeel.
"Don't you dare run away!" roared Gajeel.
Barely glancing over his shoulder, the catlike girl saw long-haired man run behind her. Smiling, she jumped against a rock. Leaning on the latter, she let herself be propelled towards Gajeel, all claws forward.
"Prepare to suffer the wrath of a raging lioness," she assured, clawing Gajeel in the face.
However, his attack barely scratched Gajeel's skin as Gajeel had covered it with metallic scales.
"What the?"
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"
Taking the powerful punch head-on, Leone was thrown against the rock, and the rock exploded under the impact. Hovering a bit, Leone ended up finding himself face down, while Gajeel walked towards her as quietly as possible.
"I sincerely hope this isn't the best you can possibly do. I thought only the best warriors in each of their respected universes were gathered here! Sorry to tell you, but I know a lot of guys in my world who could have beaten you! You are anything but extraodinary!"
Hearing this annoyed Leone, yet she could only approve, as she stood up.
"I know that, alright!? I'm just a replacement member! If Akame had been there, she could have beaten you! Today, I must surely be the weakest member of Night Raid still alive! But..."
Letting her body light up, she felt her muscles bulge one by one as the appearance of her body changed.
Gajeel began to grow curious, while putting an arm in front of his eyes, because of the blinding light.
Finally, when the latter disappeared, she gave way to Leone, who now looked like a real female lioness.
"What is that?"
"I merged with my Imperial Arms," Leone said to him. "I still don't know what power it gives me! However, if that is enough for me to defeat you, I would be more than proud to accept it! By beating you, I could finally consider myself an official member of the Ninth Universe! I won't ever tolerate being an embarrassment for my team."
Letting her fist glow again, she cried out.
"Here is the light of justice in which I believe! As long as I follow her, I will be unbeatable!"
"The light, eh?" Gajeel repeated, smiling. "Very well! In that case, on my side, I will summon the power of darkness."
"The what?"
Surprised then, she could see a black aura surrounding Gajeel, while the dragon's eyes became a bright green, and his skin darker. Now having the appearance of a real demon, he cried out.
"IRON SHADOW DRAGON MODE!"
Feeling an incredible surge in her energy, Leone couldn't help but pull back. Above Gajeel, a black aura appeared, taking on the appearance of a terrifying dragon. Leone's instinct told him that Gajeel was now extremely dangerous. However, eventually biting her tongue, she pushed the fear out of her mind, while retorting.
"I'M NOT LOSING"
Jumping like this, she propelled herself straight towards Gajeel, while the latter followed suit.
"YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT IT, YOU AREN'T A MATCH FOR ME AND NEVER WILL BE!"
"LIGHT LEONE'S PUNCH!"
"IRON SHADOW DRAGON'S CLUB!"
In the next second, the sound of a bone breaking was heard, as someone managed to hit the other. Thus, at first motionless, Leone ended up lowering her gaze to her fist that she had not even had time to throw, while Gajeel's had touched her rib cage, severely damaging her ribs.
"You lost," assured the powerful Mage.
Unfortunately, it was then that Leone managed to grab hold of his arm.
"What…?"
Gritting her teeth, as a trickle of blood came out of her mouth, Leone stood still, before finally lifting her face.
"Never," Leone roared, while staring at him. " The last time I saw her, I made Akame cry, when she understood that I was going to die! Today, I plan to see her again, and this time, I will put a smile on her face! Yes, I will make sure to resurrect Night Raid."
"LET GO OF ME!" Gajeel ordered her, punching her in the face. "Do you really think you're the only one here who has to protect something! Even if it annoys me to say it, I have a bunch of idiots to save too!"
Despite feeling her nose get crushed, Leone didn't let go of her grip, as she assured. "I will allow Night Raid to resurrected! My life, my friend's lives... my family's lives are at stake! I WON'T LOSE!"
Relaxing his arm then, his punch hit Gajeel on the chin. Opening his mouth, the poor mage only coughed up blood as he was lifted into the air.
Seeing him flutter in the air, Leone finally fell to his knees before screaming.
"Did you see that? That's the power of Night Raid."
Yet she fell silent the second Gajeel landed in front of her, on her feet. A trickle of blood coming out of the mouth, but still keeping a cruel smile, the mage was even scarier than before.
"I'm sorry for what I told you earlier! In the end, maybe you deserve your place among us, finally."
"Grrr," Leone could only say, getting up. "Wait a minute, I…"
"WATER STREAM ROCK SMASHING FIST!"
Slapped in the back, Leon could only gasp in pain, as a series of quick punches eventually propelled her forward. Flying like this, she headed straight for someone else, who, seeing her like this, simply waved his arm.
With a quick and powerful gesture, the mystery hit her in the face, and threw her aside, as if nothing had happened. Feeling her strength wane, Leone eventually regained her original form, all the while feeling herself falling out of the arena.
"Boss…" she whispered, feeling a tear sting her eyes. "I'm sorry..."
Immediately finding herself in the gradients, Leone hurried to put a hand in front of her gaze, so that no one could see her ashamed face.
"Contestant Leone of the Ninth Universe has been eliminated."
" What... WHAT HAPPENED!?" wanted to know the angered Supreme Kai, while looking at the field. "WHAT WENT WRONG WITH YOU!? WAS ALL OF THOSE TEN YEARS OF TRAINING WORTH FOR NOTHING!? DAMN IT!"
"Leone could only train for a few months. " Sidra reminded him.
Not giving a damn about the Supreme Kai, Garou only stared at Gajeel, while asserting. "You! I would like you to be my opponent."
Returning his smile, Gajeel got into a fighting stance, ready to pay this bastard back for stealing his elimination.
