Right from the moment their names were announced, everyone knew that this was going to be a pretty one-sided fight and they weren't wrong to think that because right now, Albert was lying in front of Damon unconscious.
All the third-year student did to knock him out was stun him with his lightning before knocking him out with the hilt of his great sword.
Unlike Pearl who saw fights as a means to have some fun, he was very direct, and when it came to this tournament, there was nothing like fun to him.
"Blaze Damon of Phoenix Academy moves on to the next round as Albert Shaw of Eukerion Academy is eliminated." The sergeant announced as the other soldiers set up the stairs for him to come down while the medical team went up to pick up Albert.
"That was a very short fight," Luis commented before turning his gaze to Chloe who didn't look surprised at all.
"Of course, it was a short fight, he was up against a second-year student, the only ones who will be able to put up a fight against him are level six h third-year students and I doubt any of them can win against him." She articulated.
"I don't know, the girl with the water ability looked pretty strong, I could tell she didn't go all out against her opponent," Tania said.
"You mean, Pearl?" Luis inquired.
"Yeah, Pearl is pretty strong, she'll definitely put Damon on the spot but I doubt he would be able to beat him but then again all it takes to win fights isn't strength."
'I wonder how he would hold up against a demon lord.' The Angel said subconsciously.
'Uh ... .I don't think he's strong enough to take on a demon lord, you might actually be stronger than him if we factor in all your abilities.'
'Yeah, I was just wondering.'

"It seems like I underestimated you puny brat from the other side," Roy said as he slowly moved toward the group.
"That's a wrong choice of words to use on a grown man, you should learn some manners," Michael uttered before slowly tightening his grip on his blaster.
Jude had his sword ready for anything and Tauriel already had three arrows in her bow ready to fire at any moment.
They were surrounded and that was just the soldiers they could see, there was no way to tell if they had backup coming soon.
The situation was pretty tense but somehow, Michael appeared to be surprisingly calm.
"I don't know why you're getting in my way, I'm only trying to take back what was once mine."
His voice sounded a bit shaky now as he place his hand on his forehead.
As soon as those words escaped from his mouth, the soldiers surrounding them quickly began running toward them, it was pretty obvious that they were being manipulated.
"Please take it easy on them, I don't think they're conscious of what they're doing." Jude disclosed as the soldiers closed up on them with their swords and spears.
"I'm aware of that, don't worry," Michael replied before pulling out a small baton.
Tauriel had to refrain from using her arrows, but even with just her bow, she was able to take down all the soldiers that came running toward her.
Michael carefully avoided their attacks as he knocked them out with his baton and Jude was easily dealing with them with the blunt side of his blade.
It didn't take long before all of the soldiers were lying on the floor, and now that Roy seemed to have been zapped into unconsciousness, the lightning stopped coming toward him.
"How did you do that?" Jude inquired with his gaze on Roy.
"I set up a few things around the area because I had the feeling he was going to find us."
"So, is he dead?" Tauriel asked as he moved closer to the unconscious body.
"No, this is the body of their king so I wasn't planning on destroying it, I could if I wanted to."
"To be honest no one would blame you if you did," Jude remarked.
"Yeah, but I'm not like that."
'Is it not going to come out?'
"Come on everyone, let's get moving, the portal won't be opening for a while now so let's find somewhere else to stay for now."
Tauriel quickly helped Matilda up as Jude made sure his parents were the ones to move ahead before he followed them from behind.
Michael was the last person to walk past the king's body, and before doing that, he glanced at it for a moment.
Just after walking past the body, a dark purple aura appeared around it as a hooded figure quickly emerged from it.
"Did you really think I was going to let you leave that easily?"
Michael sensed her presence just before she said that but before he could react in any way, a purple energy rope wrapped around his legs and pulled him forward.
He was sent flying toward and crashing into the tree just beside the cave where they were taking shelter.
"Michael!" Jude screamed in shock as he immediately pulled out his blade.
"You were the ones who forced me out of this form, now you will have to pay for it." The hooded voice said with a menacing voice before twisting her neck to the right.
