Chapter 1835: Ervin vs Selene
Damian returned to his pillar without showing even a trace of excitement, and the entire arena understood that he still had not revealed anything important. His sword was already enough to suppress most people here.
Angelina raised her hand again.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Five]
[Rakan Thorne vs Vaela Sunspire]
Vaela Sunspire was a talented flame cultivator whose sunfire had burned through several difficult opponents in earlier rounds. She knew Rakan’s strength, so the moment the battle began, she spread a blazing sun domain across the stage and sent waves of golden flame toward him from all directions. Rakan did not dodge. He walked forward through the fire, his body glowing with a brutal war aura, and every step shattered the flames pressing against him.
Vaela gritted her teeth and condensed her sunfire into a blazing spear, but before she could throw it, Rakan had already reached her. His fist stopped inches from her face, and the wind pressure alone tore apart the sunfire spear in her hand.
Vaela’s face turned pale.
"I surrender."

Rakan returned to his pillar with a grin, looking disappointed that the battle had ended so quickly. Max watched him quietly, once again noting how terrifying Rakan’s pure body strength was. Against someone like him, ordinary elemental power became almost meaningless if it could not stop his advance.
Angelina did not delay.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Six]
[Orion Starfall vs Hadeon Granite]
Hadeon Granite had a defensive foundation strong enough to survive many attacks, but when he stood opposite Orion Starfall, his expression showed no confidence. He covered his body in layers of stone armor and raised several walls of earth around himself, clearly intending to stall the battle and observe Orion’s strength.
Orion smiled faintly and lifted one hand.
Two star marks on his body lit up.
The first star beam descended and shattered the outer earth walls. The second star beam pierced through the remaining stone armor and stopped in front of Hadeon’s chest. Hadeon stared down at the light hovering before him, then looked up at Orion with a bitter expression.
"I surrender."

Orion returned to his pillar, still wearing that relaxed smile, but no one felt relaxed while looking at him. He had only used two star marks this time, and yet the result had been decided instantly.
The seventh battle followed soon after.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Seven]
[Kaiden Voidmere vs Aurelia Flamecrest]
Aurelia Flamecrest’s expression became grim when she saw Kaiden’s name. She had already shown powerful sunfire before, but Kaiden’s void power was an entirely different problem. When the battle began, Aurelia immediately released a wide storm of golden flame, trying to fill the stage so Kaiden would have no room to appear behind her.
Kaiden simply raised his hand.
The space before him folded inward.
A large portion of the sunfire vanished into the void.
Aurelia tried to retreat, but the road behind her suddenly disappeared. Her movement technique failed halfway, and Kaiden appeared at her side with one finger pointed at her neck. The battle ended before her strongest flame could even gather.

Max’s gaze lingered on Kaiden for a moment. Kaiden’s void power was too clean. He did not just dodge attacks or move through space. He removed the path of movement itself, making ordinary techniques collapse before they could finish.
The eighth battle came quickly.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Eight]
[Revona vs Yelric Flamehorn]
Yelric Flamehorn was a horned warrior with a violent fire-attribute body. The moment the battle began, he transformed into a blazing demon-like figure and charged forward with a flaming halberd. His attack was strong enough to make the stage tremble, but Revona only opened her Void Origin Eyes.
The flames vanished first.
Then the halberd force vanished.
Then the blazing armor around Yelric’s body dimmed as if its power had been erased layer by layer. Yelric stopped in shock, and before he could gather another attack, Revona had already appeared in front of him with one finger raised toward his forehead.
Yelric clenched his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
"I surrender."
[Winner: Revona.]

The arena once again fell into a heavy silence.
Revona’s victory was clean, quiet, and deeply unsettling. Every time her Void Origin Eyes erased an attack, the other participants felt as if they were watching combat itself become meaningless. Max watched her with calm seriousness. He had already understood that her eyes had awakened far beyond what they had shown in their earlier battle.
Angelina continued without changing her expression.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Nine]
[Morgana Starveil vs Darius Stoneveil]
Morgana had just lost to Aurelian, but that loss clearly had not broken her confidence. Darius Stoneveil relied on thick stone defenses and layered barriers, but against Morgana, those defenses became a burden. She used one curse to mark the cracks in his stone armor, another curse to make those cracks widen, and a third curse to turn his own defensive energy against him.
Darius tried to endure, but the more power he poured into his defenses, the faster the curse spread.
In the end, Morgana stood before him with a purple-black star hovering above his head.
"Surrender before your armor crushes you from the inside," she said sweetly.
Darius’s face turned pale.
"I surrender."

Morgana returned to her pillar with her smile restored, though her eyes still glanced toward Aurelian once before shifting toward Max. Her first loss had not eliminated her, and now she had begun recovering her record.
More battles passed in quick succession.
Rosaline fought a hidden spear genius from a minor divine force and won cleanly with her radiant seals, never needing to release Dawn Sovereign Sanctuary again. Fin Arclight fought a sound-attribute participant and trapped him inside Pale Eclipse light until his senses collapsed.
Seren Frostveil recovered from her loss and defeated a beast-blooded warrior by freezing his movement step by step. Several lesser-known participants also collected their first wins against others of similar strength, but whenever they looked toward the true monsters standing on the brightest pillars, their expressions remained heavy.
The records above the arena continued updating after every result, making the pressure even more visible.
Some names already had clean victories.
Some had one loss.
Some had begun to fall behind.
And this was only the beginning.
Moreover Max noticed that the randomizer this time was completely random. Some had fought two battles and some hadn’t even done their first battle.
’It seems like in this final round one can match with anyone here.’ Max thought silently.
Angelina Valerius raised her hand once more, and the lights above the arena gathered into the next pairing.
The names slowed.
Then two of them enlarged.
[Final Competitive Stage, Battle Fourteen]
[Ervin vs Selene Vaeloria]
The moment those names appeared, the arena became quiet again.
Selene Vaeloria opened her eyes from her pillar, her white-gold hair shining faintly as cold pride returned to her face. Ervin stood on another pillar, black spear in hand, his abyss-like aura still calm and unreadable.
Max’s gaze sharpened slightly.
This battle would not be simple.
Angelina looked toward both of them and spoke calmly.
"Ervin. Selene Vaeloria. Enter the stage."
