AN: Ever played Sekiro?
Lisa had not expected Luna to win that.
She knew Luna was a level 2, but shouldn't a level 3 beat a level 2 or at least put up a fight?
It didn't make sense.
How did a level 3 lose to a level 2!?
The announcer spoke.
"On to the next round! Who do you have next Lilith Familia?"
As per the agreement between Loki and Lilith, the Lilith Familia would always step into the ring first since they had multiple level 3s but Loki didn't.
A slim black-haired cat woman jumped into the ring.
Her name was Messi.
By her hips were two daggers.
She was a level 3.
Her sharp eyes scanned the Loki Familia.
Now that she could see them up closer, she could find out who was the most dangerous.
Her eyes made contact with Tanya.
Tanya made a grin.
Immediately, she flinched with fear.
Sweat ran down her neck.
How could she be afraid of a level 2?!
Calming herself, Messi prepared herself for a fight and hoped she didn't have to fight Tanya.
"We have Messi the Shadow Stalker! Now who do we have for the Loki Familia?!"
Finn stepped into the arena with his spear and sword.
"From the Loki Familia, we have Finn the Little Charmer! Let's see if he can charm this chick!"
Finn blushed at the announcer's words while Messi kept her calm.
"Fighters, are you ready?! Three, two, one!"
With her agility as a level 3, Messi was sure she could dodge every hit from his spear and land every attack.
She also had an agility skill that boosted her agility greatly up to level 4.
Along with her beast mode, her agility could become as high as a level 5!
There was no way this kid could beat her.
She would dice him up faster than he could see!
Finn on the other side could see the confidence in her eyes.
She was sure she could easily take him down.
He had no doubt about that.
However, now was not the time to doubt or fear!
Now was the time to test and challenge himself!
With his magic Hell Finegas and his skill Pallum Spirit, he should be able to fight a level 3.
"Begin!"
Messi drew her two daggers.
She then used her agility skill and her agility became that of a level 4.
Finn used Hell Finegas and his skill Pallum Spirit activated.
His mind became enraged and he became as strong as a level 3.
With all of this.
Messi had the stats of a level 3 with the agility of a level 4.
While Finn had the stats of a level 3 with an enraged mind.
Messi closed in on Finn with her daggers ready to slash.
Finn stood his ground and aimed his spear at her.
Upon coming close to his spear, Messi jumped away.
Although Finn was enraged, his skill as a spearman was still decent.
Carefully, Messi circled around Finn as he kept his spear aimed at her.
The two stood still for a moment.
Messi knew that if she wanted to slash at him, she would have to take the chance of getting stabbed.
Unless he foolishly charged at her.
But although enraged, Finn knew she was faster and had to keep his ground.
Up above, the gods held their breath.
Loki was praying to Hot Cheetos while staring intently at the battle scene.
Lilith was shaking in her seat.
This was exciting, very exciting.
Her Messi should win, no doubt about it.
Down below, both the Loki Familia and Lilith Familia were still with anticipation.
Their heart pumped and they didn't dare to blink.
Finn closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
One hit, that's all he needed.
If he could hit her, his spear would do the rest.
Messi steeled her nerves.
As long as she didn't get hit by his spear, she could end and would end him.
Yes, that's all she needed, to dodge his spear.
Her agility vs his spearmanship.
So, why not go all out?!
Messi activated beast mode and her mind became enraged.
She got ready to pounce.
Finn held his spear tighter and gritted his teeth.
It was now or never.
With her level 5 agility, Messi rushed towards Finn with a sadistic grin.
Finn didn't know why, but he knew he wouldn't be able to hit her.
So, was he going to lose?
Messi dodged his spear and he pulled his spear back.
She dodged his spear again.
Twice, she had dodged his spear.
Now, she was in range to attack him.
However, she hadn't expected him to be so short that she couldn't target his weak points.
She stabbed her daggers toward him and he tried to grab her wrist.
He failed and she stabbed both his shoulders through his armor.
He gritted his teeth with pain.
She opened her jaws to bite his neck.
Finn headbutted her and she became stunned.
He grabbed both her wrists and twisted them.
Both her daggers dropped.
He pulled her closer and headbutted her again.
She recovered quickly and kicked him away.
The two took a deep breath and looked at each other wearily.
They glanced at the weapons on the ground.
Finn pulled out his sword and charged.
Messi quickly grabbed his spear and aimed it at him.
Finn parried the spear with his sword and closed in on her.
Messi let go of the spear and jumped back.
Finn let go of his sword and picked up his spear.
Seeing an opportunity, Messi ran forward to kick his head off before he could aim it at her.
A mistake as Finn quickly aimed his spear and stabbed her.
She tried to back away but the spear was hooked.
Finn screamed with rage and lifted her up with his spear.
He swung down and slammed her to the ground.
Messi gritted her teeth with rage.
She quickly tore the spear out and ripped flesh.
Blood dripped from her wound.
Finn seemed surprised at the sight.
Pushing Finn's spear aside, she quickly ran and punched his face into the ground.
She got down on him and was about to pummel him when she felt something stab her.
She looked and saw he had stabbed her with his sword.
Weakness took over Messi and she became unconscious.
Finn stood up bloodied but victorious.
"The winner is! Finn, the Little Charmer!"
From all around, cheers erupted.
