The Mysterious Black Magician

"Finally! The match came to an end!" The voice of Mora Liz resounded.

Upon hearing her, everyone shouted as they threw their fists in the air.

WOOOHHH!

Out of excitement, some of the spectators took off their clothes and waved in the air while shouting,

WarGod! WarGod! WarGod!

Kiko's supporters at the moment are already clamoring. They shouted that word over and over again as if the volume of their voices reached outer space.

Like most, Doro also joined in the shouting. In his mind, he said, 'Finally, the fight is over. This is probably the sh*ttiest fight and sh*ttiest competition. And this is also the most unexciting battle. The opponent is weak. Hehe. That's why… the strong still prevailed at the end… puwahaha!' Nonetheless, he won. Doro glanced at the old man. He saw him just silent while his face was still facing the stage. But, the expression on his face was the expression of a person who was surprised.

"Hehe…" Doro blocked his mouth with his palm while grinning. He whispered in his mind, 'Poor old man,' as he thought about it, Doro shook his head. "Tsk, tsk."

For the VIPs, the match was good. There are many insane events like Kiko's breakthrough in the middle of the fight as well as Crimson's use of the unique Time Warp ability. This match is the most they will never forget in this competition.

The spectators, especially Kiko's supporters, continued shouting his alias. Everyone is excited and happy. But the main reason that Kiko's supporters are so excited is because of the amount of what they can win.

Everyone immediately fell silent when the microphone from the announcer's podium echoed loudly.

TIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!

A deafening sound that grabbed all attention resounded.

This time, the image of Kiko can still be seen floating in the air. And, Crimson? They could not find his body. Maybe he was covered in rubbles scattered around. They needed to hurry to rescue him because he definitely has injuries due to Kiko's barrage of attacks.

If ever, it would be a pity if he couldn't fight anymore because of serious injuries. Well, they hope he's okay. Although he probably lost, there was no doubt that he was strong somehow. Even the strongest Kiko took so long to defeat him.

However, in the end, there are winners and losers. It was part of a game.

When all was quiet and there was not even the slightest noise, Miss Mora brought the microphone closer to her mouth. "The winner of the match is…"

Before she could finish what she was going to say, Marco shouted, "OF COURSE HE WON!!!" Bruno followed suit. "YEAH, DUDE !!!" He shouted while throwing a fist in the air. Although very happy, Merchant Brando suppressed the urge to scream. He just smiled slightly. Well, he already expected that the result of the match would be like this. Not only because he has a lot of trust in Kiko, but also because of the third party.

The spectators also shouted, "WOOOOHHH !!!"

Even though most of the spectators were already noisy even before she finished her announcement, Miss Mora Liz continued her task to announce the winner of the match. She repeated what she had said. "The winner of the match is.... CRIMSON!"

Everyone seemed to be just waiting for Miss Mora Liz to say that. But wait…... there seems to be something wrong.

"""""The winner is Crimson???!!!"""""

"..."

Everyone asked and suddenly fell silent. They seem to be hearing wrong.

"Miss Liz! There seems to be something wrong with what you said!" Doro couldn't stop himself from shouting that.

"Right!"

"Your announcement is wrong, My Idol!"

Not only ordinary viewers were surprised in hearing it, but some VIPs were also surprised.

"Kuku, looks like even the famous advertiser made mistakes in events like this, huh," said someone in the VIP room.

Even Goki doubted what he heard. He did not know if what he heard was right or if what he heard was wrong.

Jami, Dianne, and Maku looked at each other.

"Is it true that I heard that Yman is the winner?" Dianne asked as she tilted her head.

"So it seems I'm not the only one who heard that," followed Jami.

"Me too," Maku added.

The three of them look at each other. Looks like all of them heard the same thing. Not far from them, Bob also asked. "What? I-is it true that my bro won?!" He asked in a quivering voice.

"That's also what I heard." Chloe seconded.

Yana's face brightened, but she remained silent because she might have just misheard it. Only Rea is calm at these times.

Almina and Maena's expressions formed like "o".

Kiko's friends couldn't believe the announcement. Bruno wanted to shout, but everyone fell silent when one of the spectators shouted.

"Wait everyone! Look at the monitor!" He pointed.

When they heard what he said, everyone turned to the monitor at once. And then, they saw that Kiko's health points were 0%. Yman's is at 50%.

""""What?!!"""" At once, everyone was shocked and could not believe what they saw. They looked up at where Kiko was floating. There was a frown on their faces because they saw that Kiko was still floating in the air.

However, everyone was dumbfounded when Kiko's body suddenly fell. The kind of his fall is like that of the unconscious person. With Kiko's fall, a silhouette was left behind where Kiko was a while ago. And that's when their eyes widened even more.

Almina couldn't help but draw tears in her eyes when she saw who the figure was. She thought Yman would lose the match. But how could he have defeated Kiko? Due to the thickness of the smoke from Kiko's attack, the whole stage was covered, obstructing their visions, so no one noticed what Yman did.

Moreover, how did he get there? In addition, he was right behind Kiko! Before that, everyone also noticed that his hands and feet were now restored.

At that moment, Kiko's body crashed to the ground. Dust and small debris were immediately scattered around.

Suddenly, blood spread as if he was bathing in his own blood. They also noticed a large hole in Kiko's body.

The blood didn't last long. They lit up and gradually became light particles. So is Kiko's body.

Kiko's supporters were devastated.

"H-He lost? Kiko lost?" Marco whispered in disbelief. Bert and the others were stunned.

"I-It can't be!" Merchant Brando couldn't accept the result of the match. But, no matter what he would say there is nothing he could do to change the outcome.

Contrary to them, a loud shout suddenly rang out. "WOHOOO!" Shouted the old man who bet on Crimson. A big smile could be seen on his face. When he noticed Doro's gaze on him, he glared at him.

"Bleeeh!" The oldman tucked his lips.

In the next moment,

Clap, clap, clap...

Everyone heard faint applause. It came from Yman's classmates. In the next second, the applause grew louder.

At first, they were hesitant to support him because his opponent was Kiko. Other than that, they were overwhelmed by Kiko's supporters. So they just kept quiet. But now that he has won, they have no reason not to support their classmate.

Everyone saw Yman slowly descend to the ground. And as he descended, the applause grew louder and louder until someone started shouting,

Crimson… Crimson…

At first, it was still weak. But, Bob could not restrain himself; he shouted too.

CRIMSOOOONNN !!!

With the strength of his voice, he even defeated the shouts of many. Since then, more and more people shouted his name and their screams grew louder.

CRIMSON! CRIMSON! CRIMSON!

Chloe and Yana also joined in their shouting. The grain of tears could be seen in Yana's eyes. He was happy with his brother. And she was proud to be his sister.

"It can't be! This is nonsense!" Merchant Brando could not accept Kiko's defeat.

He stood up and shouted that the result was a lie.

Honestly, even Mora Liz couldn't believe the result especially because of her duty of hyping Kiko. But no matter how she looks, the result can't be changed because Kiko has lost consciousness already and the resonance between him and his deity has also been canceled.

To enlighten all spectators on what happened in the last seconds of that match, the floating monitor replayed what happened in the last seconds of their match.

On the monitor, everyone saw Yman alias Crimson standing on the stage while staring above where Kiko alias FireGod was floating. In Yman's eyes reflected the countless Lightning Flame Balls that Kiko had made.

When Kiko fired the Lightning Flame Balls, before they hit Yman, everyone suddenly saw four large Chakrams form on top of Crimson. These served as his shields. They caught all the Flame Balls that should hit Crimson. Oddly enough, upon touching those big chakrams, the Flame Balls disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Yman leaped in the air. The spectators immediately understood that he used Air Dance. It was the same ability from the Noble Rat.

While he was ascending, trying to cut their distance, Yman's cuts gradually restored. At the time when Yman's body was fully restored and his distance from Kiko shortened enough, his whole figure suddenly covered in crimson mana. Then his figure shot towards Kiko like the speed of light.

It was the ability he mastered at the Training Pavilion. It was the upgraded version of Sudden Charge - Immediate Assault. He went straight on Kiko and pierced his body.

Silence once again descended after seeing the replay.
