An image of the upper arena and lower arena appeared simultaneously. Then, the scene focused on Team Rose and Kyll.
Sol stepped forward, pulling his blade out as he walked slowly towards Kyll. Kyll drew his two blades, his eyes fixed on Sol's approach.
Sol stood tall in front of Kyll, looking him dead in the eye. At 6'5", Sol towered over Kyll, who stood at 5'10"....
The air in the arena was electric with tension, the crowd holding its collective breath. Sol's voice cut through the silence, his words measured and deliberate.
"Kyll, I must ask you something before we fight."
Kyll's expression was unreadable, his voice devoid of emotion. "Why would I answer any of your questions?
Sol's eyes locked onto Kyll's, his gaze burning with intensity. "Please, just answer this for me. When you killed Zesh, did you feel any remorse, any pain, any regrets?"
Kyll's response was laced with disdain. "Yes, the pain I felt was disappointment. I couldn't believe someone so weak would even try to fight me. When he stepped forward I was hoping there was some hidden power or surprise, but no... he was weak. All he was good at was giving directions and premonitions, but in the end, it didn't save him."
Sol's grip on his blade tightened, his anger palpable. He turned to Team Rose, his voice low and urgent. "No holding back. We'll all fight him with the intent to kill. I wanted to see the man I kill eye to eye, so I could read him, but I truly see now... You're beyond evil, and too far gone."
Kyll's voice was laced with mockery. "Is that enough questions?"
Sol's eyes flashed with determination, his voice rising, "It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure! ANNOOOOOO KING DAVID!" (FWOOOOOSHHHHHH!)
Sol jumped into the air, slashing downward toward Kyll with a powerful blue slash. Kyll smirked, ready to counter, but the attack vanished into thin air.
Kyll looked around, shocked, wondering where the blue slash had gone. Then, out of nowhere, the slash reappeared behind him, barely missing its mark. Kyll swiftly extended his blade to counter the attack at the last minute.
Zeyta charged in, swinging full force at Kyll. He dodged instantly, then jumped up, grabbing her head with his legs. He spun her backwards and dropped down, hitting her in the stomach with a powerful punch that sent her crashing into the arena walls.
Aza attacked, swinging her hammers at full speed. Kyll dodged, then elbowed her in the face, grabbing her hair and slamming her to the ground. Sol attacked directly behind Kyll, but he blocked the attack just in time. However, a blue slash suddenly appeared behind Kyll while he was blocking Sol.
Kyll's eyes widened in alarm. "The blue slash is gonna hit! I have to redirect my body."
Kyll narrowly avoided the slash by using his feet to run up and backflip off Sol's body. Upside down in mid-air, Kyll blocked both attacks with both blades at the same time.
Aza seized the opportunity, swinging a hammer to catch Kyll dead center. Kyll swiftly performed a spinning kick, reminiscent of a breakdancing move, to position both blades in front of him and brace for impact from the hammer.
(FWINGGGGGGGGGGSHHHHHHHBOOOOOOMM!) The hammer crashed into Kyll's blades, sending him flying toward the arena wall. Zeyta appeared behind him, her voice piercing the air. "BLUEEEEEEEE SCYTHEEEEEEEEEE!" A massive blue wave erupted behind her blade as she prepared to swing it.
Kyll swiftly extended his blades to the ground, using them to propel himself upward and avoid the attack. But just as he lifted off, Kayge appeared above him, delivering a powerful kick that sent Kyll crashing back down toward the slash. Kayge reappeared behind Kyll, wrapping him in a tight full-arm grip, positioning him to take the full force of Zeyta's earlier Blue Scythe attack.
Kyll yelled, "You fool, you're going to get hit as well!"
Kayge smirked, "I'm Invincible."
(Hmm... WA BOOMMMMMMMMM!)
Adon: "They got him?"
Ark: "Seems so."
Hela: "What's happening?"
Vojim: "I still sense his malice."
Genjo observed, "I must say, that was impressive. It's not every day I see Kyll get hit. Matter of fact, looks like he lost an arm."
Kyll emerged from the blue aura, his arm gone.
The Entire arena was shocked....
Zeyta declared, "Good, I took out his left arm."
Kyll's response was maniacal laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! OOOOO, yes! This is what I live for! I love this type of fight! My arm's gone, this is actually awesome."
Kyll's demeanor shifted, his voice rising in a battle cry. "RWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Enough defensive time, now it's time for some offense! First things first, let's give you all an example of levels!"
Gavon's eyes narrowed, recognizing the ominous aura. "That aura... it's like when we fought him – he's going into Cursed Mode."
Vojim nodded in agreement. "Yes, so it seems. The difference between when we fought him... his power was only five percent of what it is now."
Tega's eyes widened in astonishment. "What? That's impossible! At that time, I remember you saying he was almost as powerful as a Master. Is that the case, or has he surpassed the Masters?"
Vojim's expression turned serious. "Put it this way: he would lose to any of the Masters sitting here now, but it would definitely push us to have to use our secret weapon as well."
Gavon's curiosity was piqued. "Secret weapon?"
Rouke cautioned, "Hey guys, don't forget Genjo's right there listening. Let's continue to focus on the Anointed. From what I sense, he's powerful, but we don't know all of the Anointed's capabilities either. Keep the faith..."
Kyll continued powering up until a vibrant, crimson aura erupted from his body, surging toward the vacant space where his arm once was. The aura swirled and churned, taking on a life of its own. As the crowd watched in awe, the red aura began to coalesce into a distinct shape.
At first, the faint outline of fingers materialized, followed by the gradual formation of a forearm and upper arm. The red aura continued to intensify, solidifying into a gleaming, holographic arm that perfectly replicated the shape and structure of Kyll's missing limb.
The newly formed arm pulsed with an otherworldly energy, its crimson hue glowing with an ethereal light. The crowd held its collective breath.
Sol's eyes widened in astonishment. "How is that possible? His arm is completely back!"
Kayge's expression turned somber. "Yes, it's literally a cursed hologram of itself. The positive is that it seems to only be there because of the cursed energy; without that form, he no longer has one."
Aza's voice was laced with concern. "To be honest, I don't know if this psycho can even die."
