Bang! Bang!
Boom!
More destruction ravaged the arena as Arthur and Uno lunged at themselves against each other once again. It took only a short time for the ground to have multiple pits and craters scattered around whenever they appeared in a certain location.
Each collision of them had created thunderous explosions, signifying how powerful the strength those clashes carried.
They still showcased their signature Combat Techniques and respective Mana Manipulation, but with an even greater intensity due to them entering their Natural States. They both showcased their full mastery over these techniques, amazing all the audience and viewers.

Miss Bunny, with her professional experience, was able to keep up with David. This created a more relaxing atmosphere despite the intensity of the battle.
They were unlike those commentators, who could not help but stare blankly at their screens after seeing such a crazy battle.
This gave the people a more positive look at the duo, making the people flood their live broadcast even more. Even those, who were watching at the live stand, chose to open their respective virtual screens to connect to the live broadcast after hearing the news.

Arthur leaped into the air while adjusting his position for a spear-throwing stance in the air. The surrounding mana quickly gathered to his spear, setting it ablaze with a multicolored flame.
Swoosh!
When the accumulation of power reached its peak, Arthur threw the spear with all his might, sending it toward his opponent.
Swoosh!
During its flight, the spear and the flame that was covering it transformed into a huge dragon that opened its mouth wide, seemingly trying to devour the world with it.
Roar!

Uno, who was standing right beneath this dragon, took a stance of his own. He spread his feet and squatted his hips as the shortswords in his hands were put by in their sheaths.
Bang!
At the same time, the black light containing the coldest energy in the air world shrouded his body and illuminated his entire being.
Shing!
At this moment, Arthur had landed on the ground once again. He then kicked the ground and charged forward with his shield positioned right in front of him.
Bang!
Given his momentum and the violent flame covering his body, he looked like a huge truck set aflame while charging toward a pedestrian.

Seeing the incoming 'truck', Uno took a step back while sheathing back the shortswords in a smooth motion.
Bang!
He firmly planted his foot behind him while his arms swiftly spread wide and steadily moved in circles as if he were drawing a Tai Chi diagram in front of him.
With the gesture of his hands, the air seemed to have obeyed his command before gathering in front of him. And when he put the bottom of his palms together and pushed them forward, a powerful shockwave exploded and clashed against the incoming 'truck', greatly weakening its momentum.

Bang!
Even if he did not stop Arthur's charge, Uno was still able to weaken the fearsome advance.
He slightly raised his brows when he saw that despite him almost stopping his opponent, his field of vision was now blocked by the round shield in front of him, completely hiding his opponent.
It was an old trick for gamers, who specially played knight classes – blinding their opponents with their shield to hide their intention.
Sensing that something was amiss, Uno quickly used the heel of his front foot to kick the ground and pushed himself away from Arthur.
Swoosh!
Right after skidded backward, Arthur's spear suddenly came out from behind the shield like a venomous snake and tried to catch Uno. Unfortunately, the latter was quick enough to respond and created the distance between them as soon as possible.
Bang!
With impeccable timing, right after Arthur pulled his shield back and threw his spear forward, Uno suddenly lunged forward while unsheathing his swords and swinging them at the opposing party.
The timing was so good that he did not give Arthur to position his shield in front of him once again due to the awkward position.
But right when it happened, Arthur suddenly loosened his grip over the spear and let it fly forward. This action forced Uno to slightly slow down as he had to duck forward to dodge its tip.
Feeling the texture of the metal shaft of his spear, Arthur let the spear fly forward until his hand reached its bottom. Then he suddenly tightened his grip once again, catching the spear and stopping it from going further.
After that, he suddenly pressed downward to make the spear flip before pushing upwards once again and slightly twisting his body to the side to catch the spear with his shoulders.
Clang!
With this action, the shaft of the spear collided with the blades of the pair of shortswords that were trying to cut his waist like huge scissors.
Swoosh!
Arthur absorbed the force of impact and used it to slide backward and reclaim the ideal distance for his spear once again.
"Not bad~," commented David from the virtual space after seeing those simple yet intense moves at the last exchange.
