The surrounding forestry all fell and in the middle of it is a woman with wings made of rainbow light. Her spear piercing a man that could be described as a warrior from the northern region of the main world. The man coughed as he tried processing what happened, but he could not believe that they fell that easily.

"Why are you that powerful!" Sveto stated as he turned into particles of light.

"The winner of the team match! Sweden! With their previous win from the solo match, they will now move to the next round of battle." The announcer stated with great clamor as he was mostly quiet the rest of the match.

"She really is formidable. As expected of the one that managed to defeat Eldritch by herself." One of the audiences whispered as the crowd shouted Frey's name.

The crowd did not expect for Frey to really go all in as she activated five skills in succession. Each of the skill managed to seal the things that the Russian national team a formidable opponent. She first used Area of Judgement that prevented buffs to all those in the area.

The Area of Judgement also affected her team members not just her enemies. The only one immune from the effects of the area skill are fellow Valkyries. The next skill that she used is the one attached to her armor which was forged by Aurgelmir, a demigod blacksmith.

"Battle Maiden: Valkyria!" Frey activated after using Area of Judgement.

Her armor skill Battle Maiden: Valkyria made the streamlined heavy armor that she is wearing into a bulkier and dangerous armor. Despite becoming bulkier, she earned movement speed buffs and her armor became categorized as Light Armor. It also made sure that all attacks against her will have 20% reduced strength.

The next skill that she used is "Critical Spear" which made all attacks made using a spear become critical hits for ten times. This effect lingered for 10 minutes or until she made ten attacks using a spear. As long as she hits something, that is considered one attack which meant that she needed to be careful in using attacks. She also recalled her spear from faraway using this skill.

The fourth skill that she used is "Brunhild's Gridle" which is a legendary buff skill only available to Valkyries. The skill boosted Frey's attack and magic attack by 100% for five minutes or if he uses three attacks. It also boosted her defense by 50% and will be able to reduce all damage to her to a thousand in the duration or until she blocked ten attacks.

The last and most important skill that she used is "The Valkyrie" skill that collected the elements of water, wind, and light in the surroundings to give a significant boost to her. It also made her attacks deal long range and splash attacks. It also doubled her current stats which is already monstrous o begin with.

With all five skills stacked, Frey became the judge of the battlefield and defeated the enemy team. The Russian team did defeat two of their team members but that is fine since they won in the end. When the audience saw Frey's appearance and could not help but etch into their mind why she is the Valkyrie.

The next match proceeded as intended and the solo match for Thailand and the Philippines also caused some confusion. The audience thought that it would be a match between Ngu and Arsenal, but it was actually a match between Xinthri and Apolaki. A match that the audience once again wanted to know the result of.

The two players arrived in the center of the arena and shook their hands. The two of them acknowledge each other as a strong contender because they specialize in almost the same thing. The coin flip is in the favor of Xinthri, but he did not choose Avalon where he clearly had aerial advantage. He picked the stadium as he did not want to win just because he can fly.

The two materialized in the arena with Ares doing his speech. From the tone of the God of War, it is clear that he is overjoyed of the fight that he will witness again. He did not think that a Garuda and a bearer of a Spirit Sword will fight.

"Show me a fight worthy of your heritages!" Ares stated as he sat on his throne.

The two warriors did not waste time as they immediately clashed the moment that they could move. They each thought that they can gain the upper hand if they attack first but it seems that the two think alike. As expected of seasoned veterans when it comes to fighting, they are mixing real and feints with each of their exchange.

Xinthri coated his fists with Prana that is darker in color than the ones he used earlier which means that it is more solid. Apolaki brandished his kampilan and aimed specifically for Xintri's neck as he has shorter vision in that area. Apolalki not only analyzed all of the strengths of his opponents but also their weaknesses since he did not know who his enemy in this case will be.

When the exchange between the two could be seen reaching a standstill since both of them are getting used to each other's fighting pattern, Apolaki used his Kris in order to do sneak attacks against Xinthri but that still proved difficult.

With Apolaki's introduction of his second weapon, Xinthri did not hold back as well since he coated his whole body with Prana. After a few more exchanges, Apolaki thought that he gained an advantage because Xinthri swung a bit too wide.

Apolaki thrusted the Kris on Xinthri's body expecting that he would scream in pain for feeling his soul being torn apart but that is not the case. The moment that the point of the kris could pierce Apolaki, it emitted a tingling sound that one would hear when two metals clashed against each other.

Apolaki became a bit shaken with what happened that made him lose focus for a few seconds. Xinthri used that chance to hit Apolaki's abdomen with an attack boosted by Pure Prana. Apolaki gagged and got blown away to the edge of the walls.

Xinthri has finally learned that he is truly immune or resistant immune to the attacks from Apolaki's kris. He knew that an attack to the soul would basically be useless against him because training one's Prana is also equal to tempering one's soul. Apolaki's weapon did some damage to Xinthri, but it was not as great as he expected.

Apolaki did not panic when he learned of Xinthri's immunity as he already expected it to some degree. His opponent is actually not that focused on defending even in close combat. With Apolaki's reach, he could easily hit Xinthri if he was a normal opponent.

Apolaki knew that the moment Xinthri evaded his strikes by a hair's breadth that his opponent can somewhat read the moves he is using. He could tell that Xinthri did not make use of a skill to evade but pure battle sense just like him. It made Apolaki smile like a madman as his opponent is someone in his level when it comes to battle sense.

What also excited Apolaki is that almost half his skills are not going to be usable against an opponent like Xinthri. The higher the difficulty then the greater his desire to win grows. Apolaki finally used a skill that nobody has yet to see in the competition.

"Godly Spirit Sword: Bathala!" Apolaki stated as he suddenly fused both of his swords together.

Apolaki's sword transformed from a meter long sword to a two-meter sword flowing with mysterious pale green energy. The pale green energy is so potent that it also transformed his right arm. The tattoos on his body could be seen glowing with this energy.

Seeing that his opponent has finally used a trump card, Xinthri did as well. He collected the prana in his body and redirected it towards his hands. The Prana that gathered on his hands did not look like the normal dark purplish flame but solidified gauntlets with the face of a demon.

"Prana Arts: Heavenly Demon Gauntlets!" Xinthri stated as he finally used a proper fighting stance.

Apolaki is the first one to move with his giant sword. With one swing, the audience in the arena could feel the shockwave of the attack. Xinthri did not back down as the demon face on his gauntlets emitted smoke as if exhaling. The two then clashed against one another which made the stadium floor crack for the first time.

Ares could be seen on the edge of his seat as the two contenders are clashing with Mythical Skills that can grow towards Transcendent skills.. The stadium itself could not handle the residual shockwaves of the fight while both of the contenders looked as if they are enjoying their exchange.
