Boom! Bang! Bam!

The young lady was pushed back by Reynolds' attack. 

Being on the defensive constantly made it extremely difficult to fight against Reynolds. 

If not for the young man's help on some occasions, she might've lost already. The young man knew the second she was eliminated, he would be the next person to follow, so he couldn't allow her to be eliminated. 

The young man was the stronger of the duo, and Alice hadn't been able to break down his defenses. They both had strong defenses, but the young man had a slight edge when it came to attacking power. However, Alice's Seelie was able to balance the scale with its strength. 

Boom! Bam! Bang! 

Reynolds, seeing that his advantage over the young lady was increasing, started to attack fiercely. He didn't give the young lady any time to even think before he attacked. 

He pushed her back repeatedly. 

The young lady finally realized it was better to at least try fighting against Reynolds than to fully stay on the defensive. If she stayed on the defensive, it was only a matter of time before Reynolds defeated her. 

What made it harder for her was that, unlike the young man and Alice, she didn't have the greatest defensive elements. Her elements were purely for destructive purposes. 

Boom! 

A red pattern appeared on the ground, and fire attacks came out from it. 

Reynolds was standing beneath the pattern, on seeing the powerful fire elemental attacks, he jumped into the sky and merged with his Elemental Warrior. Since the young lady had started fighting back meant it was time to go all-out. 

After merging with his elemental warrior, Reynolds' strength increased by a lot. He wasn't planning to hold back at all. 

Boom! Bang! 

A lightning orb appeared in the sky and continuously released attacks.

The young lady scrambled to dodge the attacks while attacking as well. 

She had given up on defending, it wasn't her style of fighting. 

While Reynolds was entangled with the young lady, Alice was still in a heated battle with the young man. 

They had each broken through their defenses, but none had been able to deal a telling blow. 

The final battle of the Mid stages was just as expected, thrilling.

The audience hadn't seen a dull moment so far. From the trio first pressuring Alice and Reynolds, to Reynolds almost being eliminated by a hidden attack, to the point where Reynolds almost eliminated the young man, and then the coordinated attack of the duo. 

Grey and Klaus finally felt relieved knowing that their friends would definitely win the battle at this rate. 

Reynolds was the most likely one to defeat his opponent first, then he would join hands with Alice to defeat the young man. 

Once he was done doing that, they would fight against each other for the number one and two.

Klaus was speaking more animatedly, Grey also joined in on the conversation sometimes, but he mainly spoke with Kyle. 

Joyner was also very friendly, so they spoke for some time as well. 

Boom! Bam! Crash! 

The young lady was sent flying by one of Reynolds' attacks, and unfortunately, she was electrocuted to the point where she was temporarily paralyzed. 

Being in this state made the lightning effect increase by almost double. This made the burn and shock increase. 

Reynolds didn't let the chance go as he dashed toward the young lady. The young man noticed this and tried to intercept him, but he was stopped by Alice who was already prepared for this. 

Frustration showed on the young man's face as he tried everything he could to help the young lady, unfortunately, Reynolds had already appeared in front of her, placing a lightning sword on her neck. 

The man in charge of the platform appeared beside the young lady and took her out of the platform. He knew Reynolds wouldn't attack her, but he had to take her out so the others could continue their battle. 

Two people had been eliminated, and there were only three people left. The top three individuals in the Mid stages rankings. 

With that young lady eliminated, everyone already knew who would be third. 

Reynolds was still in his merged state and he rushed after the young man. With Alice also attacking, it was impossible for him to fight against the duo and succeed. He was already having difficulties fighting against Alice on her own, now that Reynolds joined in on the battle, he was eliminated in the space of three minutes. 

Reynolds focused on breaking down his defenses while Alice kept him busy. In the end, Reynolds was the one who eliminated him. 

Of the three people eliminated, although Alice had helped out in two, Reynolds could be said to be the one who did all the eliminations. 

Some of the people in the crowds felt he deserved to win the fight. But Alice was no walkover. 

The two friends stood opposite each other, both preparing to fight. Alice was in a better condition compared to Reynolds who had been hit by a few attacks over the course of the battle. 

"Who do you think would win?" Kyle asked. 

"On a good day, Reynolds would win every time. But presently, he's not at his peak, so Alice has the edge." Grey said, after a moment of silence, he added, "Reynolds would win anyway." 

"You." Kyle turned to Klaus. 

"I'm going with whoever wins. I personally feel Alice has a better chance, but since that moron doesn't know when to give up, he will most likely win by a small margin." Klaus replied. 

Reynolds was the most persistent individual among all of them. Although Grey had been in a few dangerous situations, Reynolds had more willpower compared to him. 

As long as Reynolds decides not to give up, the person who had the highest chance of defeating him in the group was Grey, other than him, no one else would be able to do so. 

Klaus might be able to do so when he breaks through, but Reynolds would also breakthrough as well. Without the Seelie, Alice had the lowest chance of defeating him.
