Ragna gasped as blood spurted out from his mouth. His body instantly flew away like a cannonball!

Woosh!

"Fuu..."

Elias exhaled deeply. He slowly retrieved his hand and shook it lightly. Then, he looked at the opposite side of the area.

Ragna Newgate was leaning against the wall, seemingly unconscious.

"Done already? I was just warming up."

He muttered loudly, a bit surprised. He cracked his fingers and was about to walk to Ragna.

But it seemed like he didn't need to.

Because at that moment, an oppressive aura suddenly released from Ragna's body!

Woosh!

Elias lips rose into a smile. He cracked his fingers. As I thought, he's not going down that easy...

Ragna slowly stood up with both of his hands hanging limply. He was like an awakened wild beast.

His neck twisted slightly as his gaze fell on Elias. His lips curled into a wide grin that seemed to want to devour his opponent.

Besides that, a red wrathful aura erupted from his chest and slowly covered him from head to toe.

Elias had seen that strange red aura before in Ragna's fight with Lance back in the inner circle examination.

[Heavens Rage]

It was a reinforcement skill.

Similar to Lance's [Noble Light] or Rain's [Berserker], this was a skill that made the user stronger over some time.

It was not as powerful as the two skills mentioned above as it didn't change the quality of mana, but the skill had its own merits.

[Heavens Rage] increased Ragna's strength, agility, and constitution to almost another level at the cost of nothing.

This was a skill Ragna obtained after he ate a [Wrath Demon] that was roaming the mountains unhindered.

"Corleoneeeeee....!"

At this moment, Ragna pounced with a wild grin!

Elias smiled and put his two hands forward. In a matter of seconds, Ragna had reached his position.

[Way of Castellano - Aikido]

However, in the blink of an eye, Ragna's body suddenly twisted in the air as he fell to the ground.

Ragna couldn't comprehend what happened.

[Way of Castellano - Taekwondo]

Then while he was still in disbelief, a heavy leg suddenly descended to his solar plexus and crushed him inside.

Ragna audibly gasped, blood spurting out from his mouth.

Gasp—!

Elias smiled and unhurriedly moved his feet, putting his toes on the bottom of Ragna's chin.

In one swift motion, he threw Ragna to the air using his legs.

[Way of Castellano - Boxing]

While on the air, Ragna's gaze moved to Elias who suddenly took a step back.

His eyes were filled with fury, but his wide grin told otherwise. He was enjoying this fight as much as he was angry.

At that moment, a heavy punch suddenly hit his face and blew him to the opposite side once again!

Woosh!

However, Ragna rose once more like a zombie. He clenched his fist tightly and grinned.

[Dragon Fist]

[Lightning Rage]

Then, a phantom of a red dragon erupted from his shoulders and slowly spun around his arms.

Furthermore, echoes and sparks of lightning accompanied the dragon, making it stronger and more fiercer.

Ragna tightened his back. He put his left foot a step back... then he dashed once more to the middle of the arena.

But his speed was several more times than before!

Woosh!

Elias unhurriedly retreated. However, Ragna was so fast that he had already arrived in front of him.

His pupils dilated.

Ragna's grin widened. He grabbed Elias hands and spun the latter's entire body around like a toy.

The lightning dragon spun to Elias body, damaging him outside and inside. It fried his clothes.

Before Elias could escape Ragna's grip, Ragna suddenly clenched his hold more tightly and slammed Elias to the ground.

Bam!

Elias eyes twitched angrily as a trail of blood suddenly appeared on both corners of his mouth.

Ragna grinned and seemed to want to do it once again, but Elias raised his leg and kicked the man's face from his chin.

[Way of Castellano - Taekwondo]

Ragna suddenly flew into the air and froze for a moment.

"You asshole, these clothes are expensive."

At that moment, Elias stood up calmly, put his right foot one step forward, clenched his fist, and released it.

[Way of Castellano - Kyokushin Karate]

Before Ragna could react, a strong and heavy punch hit him on the chest and damaged him internally.

Crack—! Cra—ck-!

He could hear it. He could feel it — his bones shattered from the sheer force of that attack. It almost turned him unconscious.

Woosh!

Then he was flung once more to the opposite side of the arena.

Ragna crashed against the wall.

"You have the eyes of a beast and the body of a giant. Unfortunately, you lack the skill to use them."

Elias commented as he cracked his fingers. If Ragna was as skilled as him, then this match wouldn't be so one-sided.

But even then... he'll still win.

If it was him three months prior, then perhaps he would be destroyed by Ragna in a matter of seconds.

But he was no longer that person.

He was reborn anew by Limitless, granted with vast and overwhelming potential, one that encompasses the earth and sky.

Elias shook his head and turned his gaze to Hajin on the sides.

"You, on the other hand, lack discipline. Your foundations are stable, but your mastery is subpar. You take your talent for granted,"

"Where the hell did that come from?"

Hajin asked in an amused tone. He clearly didn't take it to heart.

"Look at here. I'll show you what mastery looks like,"

While looking at Hajin, Elias silently raised both of his hands and concentrated his mana to use a spell.

[Intermediate Fire - Fire Manipulation]

Flames erupted between his hands and then they shaped into a long flaming sword with no sharpness.

Elias closed his eyes and simply grabbed the flaming sword. It was hot. It burned his skin, but he was quickly healed with mana..

At that moment, Ragna rose once more. He was like an undying zombie, unwilling to fall no matter the damage.

He bent his head backward and gazed at Elias, filled with excitement and joy as a smudge of blood painted his cheeks.

Then, he charged.

Before Ragna could reach him, Elias opened his eyes. He swung the flaming sword.

Then something magical occurred.

Hajin's eyes widened in shock.

The flaming sword, bereft of the sharpness of a blade, suddenly turned sharp in a single breath.

The flaming sword was as sharp as a blade newly forged. The fire was concentrated and precise — it was masterfully controlled.

Then as soon as the sword was swung, the flaming sword extinguished as a wave of fire came out of it!

BOOM—!
