MMO: Isekai No RPG - A Virtual Life In Another World -

Hytori: -Wow!

Aysa: -That is a beautiful party. - watching the street.

The last day of the event arrived and with it the end of the festival, the streets are taken by many people, from merchants to guards, everyone is euphoric, music and dance everywhere, as well as decorations on buildings and home. That city knew how to entertain its audience.

???: - very well gentlemen, everything is ready for the grand finale.

???: -Great, I'm looking forward to the fights.

???: -So my dear, good festival to all. - everyone toasts with cups.

A warning came early for all warriors participating in the event, who were to go to a place known as the river arena, where the fighting would take place.

Kamero: -It will now be in an open arena.

Yashina: Let's go, it's almost time.

The River Arena is in District 22, near a huge rock wall that has a waterfall gushing running water from the river, a beautiful place indeed.

Gradually a crowd takes over the entrance of the place, spectators and warriors all present there waiting for the big day.

Hytori: -There are a lot of people here.

Aysa: -They don't play on duty, look at this arena.

Kamero: -They really want to please the king of Liogres.

Yashina: Hey guys, I found gate 16! - Yashina had left to look for the gate they should enter.

Aysa: -Well, this is where I say goodbye to you, good luck guys.

Aysa is left behind because she is no longer in the tournament, the others follow Yashina and are waiting at gate 16.

Hytori: Waiting is a pain.

Kamero: -Sarina said something to you?

Hytori: -No ..

Yashina: If she is late she will be eliminated.

Hytori: -Relax, she must be coming.

Kamero: If you say so.

The gates that give access to the arena are opened and everyone begins to enter.

Kamero: Time's up, let's go.

Yashina: That irresponsible one.

Hytori: -Sarina ...

They enter the place and follow a corridor, nearby someone is introducing their daughter to others.

Barsel Aimada: - Good morning gentlemen, dear royal knights and your majesty, King of Liogres, I would like to introduce my daughter, Sarina Aimada.

Sarina was dressed in her usual yellow dress, beside her was Alfred, she was with a forced smile and trying to be charismatic but by now she was more concerned about the tournament.

Sarina: -Hello everyone. - bowing in respect to others.

???: -then this is the wind maiden.

???: In fact a beautiful girl, my dear friend, she looks a lot like her mother.

Sarina: -han ... did you meet my mother?

???: -Yes, the great expert of ... - being interrupted by Barsel.

Barsel Aimada: -Let's talk later, now we have to start the big day.

???: -you're absolutely right. Sarina looks at him.

Sarina: Wait!

King of Liogres: -I expect to see great fights today. - Said getting up and going towards Barsel.

Barsel Aimada: We have prepared many fights for you this time, Your Majesty. - bowing before the king.

Sarina is ignored by everyone as they start heading to where they would be, while the Exo guild reaches the end of the corridor they entered.

Hytori: Until then, I thought it would never end.

Kamero: -As always you are very rushed.

Yashina: What is this place?

The place was small with no furniture the only thing it had was a crystal in the wall.

Hytori: Weird.

Kamero: I have to agree with you.

Yashina: Let's wait.

All the imposing figures get to where they watched the fights.

???: -beautiful view from here.

???: -no doubt.

Barsel: This place was built a long time ago by the great craftsman Fujisuti Nagasaki.

King of Liogres: -Great man.

Sarina: -Alfred, cover me there, I have to run or I'll be disqualified.

Alfred: Be careful, Miss.

Sarina: -Okay, I'm always careful. Wish me luck. - Sarina runs out taking off her dress and revealing her clothes of noble rogue.

Back in the room where Hytori, Yashina and kamero meet, the crystal begins to shine.

-Good morning everyone here is Rumel Grow. The voice was emitted from the crystal there.

Hytori: That's cool.

Kamero: Listen.

Rumel Grow: - Congratulations to all who have reached this stage, now the fights will be open to the general public, today we have the presence of politicians and your Majesty the King of Liogres, so we will start stage 02 of the third phase of the tournament. where 18 warriors will fight in eight fights and thus define the 9 warriors that passed the next phase, today all fights will happen in this arena called the river arena, but at this stage the arena will be due in two and in each part there will be a fight. . Well without further ado, the crystal will show the order of your fight and your rival and shortly thereafter a staircase will appear in the enclosure and will take you all to a spot where you can watch the fights while waiting for yours or enter the arena when it's your turn, good luck to everyone and good fight.

As soon as you finish speaking the crystal emits a light that shows the names of the 4 Exo guild warriors.

Yashina Himode vs Melissa Cronotes - Fight 01

Kamero Hijikata vs Mimi Assoira - Fight 04

Hytori Senki vs Teodor Bastlô - Fight 5

Noble Ladina vs Asto Seikisuki - Fight 7

Yashina is serious to see that name come up.

Kamero: Well, looks like I'm going to fight Guma's sister.

Hytori: -She's pretty strong at.

Kamero: -Well, it will be water against ice, I must have the advantage. He looks at Yashina. "What do you think, Ya ..." He stops when he sees that expression on her face.

Yashina: -...

Kamero: Something wrong?

Yashina: -My opponent.

Kamero: -What about her?

Yashina: It's my old guild mate.

Kamero remembers the day they met at the guild center in the town of Elvrin.

Kamero: So it's that girl with the purple hair.

Yashina: -Yes. - Clenching the fist.

Hytori: -Yashina ... - Seeing her weird because of this fight.

The staircase rises in the right wall and so the ceiling changes creating an opening can they would pass.

Yashina: Let's ...

They go up and see a spot with two entrances one gives into the arena and another would lead to the stands.

Yashina: -Have for me. - heading towards the arena.

Hytori: What happened to her?

Kamero: -Good my dear friend, it seems that there is more between these two than just a rivalry.

Hytori: Sometimes I don't understand anything you say.

The two climb into the stands and see Aysa sitting in a spot and sit next to her.

Aysa: -I understand, so Yashina's first fight will be against this girl who is her old colleague.

Kamero: That's it.

Hytori: -That day ... - you remember the day Yashina turned down her old guild.

Sarina: -I until finally found you.

Aysa: -Sarina, I thought you weren't coming anymore.

Sarina: I had to do something first. She looks at Hytori.

Sarina: What guy is this Hytori?

Guma: -I would ask the same thing.

Guma and his guild arrive where they meet.

Hytori: It's nothing. - With a serious expression.

Mimi: -Hytori ...

Sarina: What bug bit you?

Nicelle: It looks like he's upset about something.

Kamero: -Well, we're worried about something.

Guma: You're afraid of losing to my sister, not really. Kkkk.

Kamero: That's not it.

Guma: -Well, whatever.

Mimi: -Yashina is the first fight isn't it.

Kamero: -Yes.

Sarina: -Yashina ... realizing she wasn't there.

Aysa: It looks like it's starting.

Barsel Aimada starts talking across the arena where all the important figures are, so they all sit down and listen to what he has to say.

Barsel Aimada: -It is with great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e that I thank you all here today, our annual festival is getting more exciting and beautiful, today we have the grand finale of the tournament and as usual your majesty the king of Liogres is here aggravating us with your presence. - a round of applause is given. So let's start stage 02 of the third phase, good luck to all and good fight!

Flames of fire are thrown by wizards above the arena, and thus indeed begins the second stage of the tournament, where the warriors enter the arena and meet face to face for their fight.

Ezergrev: -Good morning, I'll be the judge of this match, my name is Ezergrev. - Seeing the two approach.

Melissa: - Anyway we meet again, Yashina. - With a penetrating look.

Yashina: -Melissa ...

Ezergrev: -The rules are already known by both, they remain the same, good fight and start! - starting the fight.

The two move away and enter combat position, so Yashina makes the first attack movement firing a few bursts of light at Melissa that deflects so quickly that it disappears from sight for a moment.

Melissa: How pathetic.

Hytori: Did you see that?

Kamero: -or better we didn't see it is.

Aysa: Is that her magic?

Melissa: Now it's my turn! - begins to disappear and reappear and another place quickly coming closer to Yashina.

Yashina: -Shoots of light!

Several beams of light come from Yashina's fingers heading toward Melissa from left and right, Melissa clenches her fists and a purple energy emanates from them so she begins to strike the lightning coming toward her and causing them to bounce and deflect. as before fading for a moment.

Melissa: -My arm ... - Her arm was cut due to a beam that hit her.

Yashina: -You are still limited.

Melissa: -harrrr! I will show who is limited!

She begins to fade and reappear quickly in several directions, but Yashina shoots rays of light where she appears the farm changes course several times as Melissa gets close enough to Yashina to strike her in the ribs that retaliates creating a ball of light that goes away. toward Melissa who punches her with her fist wrapped in purple mana causing the ball to twitch and explode in the air creating a strong glow.

Aysa: -She managed to stop a blow of that using only the fist.

Nicelle: That's right.

Melissa: -That bastard ... - panting.

Yashina: -Lances of light!

Yashina fires several spears made of light falling from the sky towards Melissa who starts running and disappearing and reappearing deflecting the attacks while Yashina wraps her legs in light making her faster and starts attacking Melissa who strikes back using her fists that distort the blows that Yashina sends out until she loses control and one of her fists loses the purple glow causing her to be struck by lightning.

Yashina: Light rounds!

Several waves of energy come from Yashina towards Melissa who is injured, fast forward. - she can go through a wave but ends up being thrown to the ground by another that came, damn it, I'll have to use cronokeys! - 2 purple balls with thin rings around them appear in the air in front of Melissa and begin to distort the atmosphere in front of them breaking the waves that touched them.

Melissa: That's what you wanted, isn't it?

Yashina: -Without your cronokeys you can't open the gates of time and manipulate it efficiently which leaves you limited.

-handle time? Said Hytori and Guma.

Melissa: -Your ...

(Thought)

Duskin: -You still have to improve a lot Melissa, if you want to become stronger like Yashina.

Yashina: -Thank you Duskin but I was lucky.

Melissa: "-that girl .... who she thinks she is."

Raffele: That's enough training today, let's go home.

Melissa: -No! Just one more time.

Duskin: You don't have to ... being interrupted.

Yashina: -Leave, if she wants I concede.

Duskin: -Then then.

Melissa: -Recokeys!

Yashina: -Hexagonal of light!

Melissa: -harrrrr!

(Gift)

Kamero: -Keys of the time?

Aysa: -Who would say.

Kamero: It looks like these cronokeys are starters.

Hytori: Like Aysa and Nicelle?

Kamero: Exactly, she needs them to use her magic most effectively.

Across the south of the arena.

Raffele: The fight starts now.

Dan: -Yeah

Duskin: -Melissa ... - nodding from the stands with his guild mates.

Back on the battlefield.

Melisa: -I will defeat you, Yashina! - your cronokeys start to glow.

Yashina: -We can now fight seriously. - Yashina's body is bathing in a light and her hands begin to shoot beams of light at high speed towards Melissa as she ran around Melissa.

Melissa: -Time advance

Melissa begins to deflect the blows at high speed using her time advance that allows her to accelerate the time a few seconds making her faster than the blows.

Melissa: -Is there just that?

Yashina: -I'm just starting, blades of light! - Yashina casts several blades made of light and throws at Melissa.

Melissa: -Always with the same blows, temporal setback!

Melissa sends her cronokeys in front of her so that the blades coming toward her start to turn in the direction they came, Yashina seeing that starts to run sideways and release several exploding lightballs creating various spotlights. -light rays! - coming out of the spotlights creating for her towards Melissa.

Melissa: "She's trying to leave me out of space," I won't leave! - The cronokeys are next to Melissa. -static time! - The cronokeys release an almost imperceptible field of 2 meters around Melissa.

Attacks into this space begin to slow down and stop in the air.

Melissa: -Back!

Yashina: -...

The attacks turn purple and begin to move again, but this time they go in the opposite direction from which Yashina has to dodge and use light screens to protect herself from her own attacks.

Yashina: Multiple light rays! - destroying all the blows coming at him with the purple color.

Hytori: How does she do that?

Kamero: So that's how her magic works.

Hytori: -What?

Kamero: -Melissa's magic consists of 3 points, advancing time, turning back time and stopping time, so she manipulates the space around her as she pleases and apparently can distort both a certain time that destroys that time as she does. made with the wave of light of Yashina where she distorted the wave in one point causing all of it to dissipate, but for that the blow must be in contact with those cronokeys, however this blow that changed the course of the attacks of the Yashina created a where you can manipulate things in there, that's pretty dangerous.

Hytori: Dammit.

Aysa: -This fight will be hot.

Nicelle: So your friend has no chance against her.

Kamero: Not exactly, Yashina already knows Melissa's powers, so she made her manifest him right away.

Sarina: So why is she attacking like that if you already know, wouldn't it be better to get it over with at once?

Kamero: -Well, I don't know, I hope she has a plan.

Hytori: -Yashina ...

???: -a temporal power, this is fascinating.

???: -In fact, let's see how that girl will get around this.

Some chancellors speak.

Melissa: -cronokeys, time advance!

Melissa uses her cronokeys to make her body accelerate and appear over Yashina to deal a blow but Yashina notices and defends using her light screen sooner Melissa disappears and reappears on the right side releasing one of her cronokeys on the light screen destroying her with the distortion effect so she can cross the defense field and attack Yashina with kicks and punches, Yashina defends herself and counter more Melissa repeatedly uses her back and forth magic to make her miss the blows, multiple rays of light ! - Yashina's magic fires several rays of light that hit Melissa who couldn't dodge them all and back away disappearing again.

Yashina: "It's getting faster." - panting.

Melissa: -What is it? The great warrior is tired is she?

Yashina: -Don't worry about me. Light burst!

Yashina fires from her hand a blast of light heading towards Melissa at high speed, "-a direct attack?" Melissa sends her cronokeys closer to Yashina, -this is my chance, space trading! - Melissa disappears and reappears from inside one of the Cronokey that she sent close to Yashina and deals a blow in his direction. I got it!

Yashina: I don't think so. Turning to the side Melissa was coming from.

Melissa: It can't be. Melissa stops her blow and tries to pull away but it was too late.

Yashina had activated her Hexagonal light, trapping the two inside.

Aysa: -She did it.

Kamero: So that was her plan.

Guma: -What are you talking about?

Kamero: -Yashina brought Melissa as close as possible to get her into the hexagon of light because she knew that if she used the long distance Melissa would have time to get out of it using time advance or even static time attack.

Nicelle: -Then it means that she used that direct blow to distract her opponent and make her think she was leaving a loophole but in fact she was falling into a trap.

Mimi: That's what it looks like.

Nicelle: I have to admit, she really knows how to fight well.

Sarina: -shown

Hytori: -Is she with the fight won?

Kamero: - Practically, she has no way to deflect or change her trajectory or simply to time with so many attacks at the same time, she can try harder with so many rays of light that the hex gives out the enemy has to have a lot of mana to defend herself. or in her case, breaking that attack using her distortion plus it takes time as we have seen and she doesn't have that time.

Guma: -And that refraction of powers?

Kamero: As I understand that it takes time to pair and then subdue the attacks to come back from where they came from, even if she does, the hex is made to reflect her rays so she would only be throwing the power at her again.

Melissa: -You lured me into a trap ... - she starts running towards Yashina.

Yashina: -Enable! She snaps her fingers and the hex begins to fire several lightning bolts coming from all directions to meet Melissa trying to protect herself using her cronokeys.

Melissa: -...!

A flash is emitted by the lightning striking where they hit Melissa, Yashina pulls away, shielding herself from the shockwave produced by her blows.

Barsel Aimada: It looks like we have reached the end of a match.

King of Liogres: -Oh ...

Yashina: -What?

King Liogres: Not yet ...

Someone laughs and when the glare fades completely revealing something that can change the course of that fight.

Duskin: -You think you had won is not ... found it wrong. - with a smile on his face.

Yashina: -Melissa?

Melissa: -Yashina. - with a confident smile.

Melissa was standing uninjured before two other Melissas that had her cronokeys around her waist.

Sarina: What the f.u.c.k?

Aysa: -That's not.

Hytori: But how did she do that?

Kamero: That's ...

The other Melissas stand in combat position and stare at Yashina who is amazed by this situation, now has three of them and her biggest attack had been in vain, that was the worst scenario that could happen.

Melissa: Now it's my turn to show who is limited here.
