Sirik's eyes burned with silver flames as his bloodline burst with power, allowing every single sword strike to unleash until the last iota of strength in his cells.
Beleth resisted with all his power, but the Astral Fiend's momentum had reached such a massive level that he could do nothing but crash into the ground. The bones on his arms kept cracking under the immense pressure of those sword strikes, and despite not firing a single attack, his energy was running dangerously low since he used it to heal his body.
Sirik did not stop attacking with killing fierceness even when they reached the ground. His muscles bulged as he tightened the grip on his swords and continued hacking toward Beleth.
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
"¡BOOM!"
More and more shock waves blasted across the arena due to Sirik's attacks, which buried Beleth's body deeper and deeper into the ground. A crater that could cover half a Low World formed in a few seconds with the Depravita at the center.
"AHHHHHHH!" Beleth roared as he burned all of his energy in an attempt to free himself from Sirik's sword strikes.
Unfortunately for Beleth, Sirik only smiled as he saw that and burned his energy in the same way, making things only grow worse for the Depravita.
Finally, a minute after Sirik pushed Beleth into the ground, the attack of the Astral Fiend managed to break the Depravita's defense.
Beleth's eyes widened as Sirik managed to push both of his black swords away before attacking with pure killing intent. The Astral Fiend's swords made a pincer strike aiming at his neck, with more than enough strength to separate his head from the rest of his body.
A Depravita did not have vital points like Neo-Demons or Eldars, but their heads were the center of control. If lost, they would be totally defenseless for a couple of seconds, which would be more than enough for a powerful life form to destroy them at an atomic level.
Sirik showed no hesitation as his eyes burst with killing intent and carried on with his attack, ready to end Beleth!
Right in the last nanosecond, before Sirik's swords reached Beleth's neck, the Depravita vanished, shocking everybody in the arena.
Even Rank 9 life forms were confused by the sudden disappearance, but they soon understood Beleth's fate as they saw this one next to Ezequiel.
The Emptiness Thearch acted at the last second when there was no way that the Depravita could have changed things. He put a hand over Beleth and healed his injuries before turning toward Sirik.
"The winner of the first battle of the First Samsara Tournament Finals is Sirik of the Astral Fiend Lineage!"
Silence reigned briefly before everyone in the arena began to cheer Sirik's name. The battle was not flashy or with impressive spells, but it did not diminish the awe the Astral Fiend generated in all those people.
Ezequiel allowed Sirik to bask in the glory for a minute before waving his hand, sending the Depravita and Astral Fiend out of the arena and bringing another duo.
One was a young man more than ten meters tall with impressive musculature and shining metallic skin, while the other was a young woman with twelve blue plasma wings and four tiny black holes around her forehead.
Two large groups in the coliseum cheered as soon as they appeared. The duo had a powerful background in the Daybreak Universe and were renowned.
The young woman and man looked at each other and showed confident smiles. They knew that the other was extremely powerful and talented, but their willpower was so strong that it did not allow the thought of defeat to appear in their minds.
"Atyla from the Cosmic Titan Lineage and Lith from the Fallen Lineage. Fight!"
Ezequiel shouted those words, and the duo did not wait for even a second before making their energy explode and unleashing their most powerful attacks.
Atyla burst forward with all his power, trying to use his physical strength to pressure Lith, similar to Sirik's approach. However, Lith was smart enough to avoid a melee battle, using her wings to fly away while simultaneously freezing the space between them.
The fight was full of unique and powerful techniques, with the Cosmic Titan and Fallen showing a plethora of spells, but in the end, the young woman rose victorious. Lith managed to secure victory by transforming their fight into a battle of resistance and slowly draining the energy of Atyla before unleashing a killing blow.
Ezequiel saved Atyla from the deadly blow in the last second and allowed Lith to enjoy the glory of victory before bringing the next duo to fight.
The following fights were impressive, and each genius present had the right to reach the finals as the power they unleashed borderline Rank 9 despite none having formed their Omega Laws yet. Still, none of them were as awe-inspiring or generating so much excitement as Sirik versus Beleth, but that changed when two women entered the arena.
No one said a word the moment they appeared, but the excitement in the eyes of everybody watching the battle was evident. Each of them was a divine genius having the teachings of Thearchs, and no one in the Daybreak Universe did not know their names.
Ezequiel's face showed nothing special once the duo entered the arena, and he seemed to treat them just like any other geniuses.
"Athea from the Lord of Emptiness Lineage and Abadon from the Depravita Sacred Mountain. Fight!"
The duo fighting was no other than the daughter of the Emptiness Thearch and the divine child of the Depravita Sacred Mountain, who had the personal teaching of the Revenge Thearch.
Athea's eyes burned with silver flames as her four Suns of Origin manifested, covering the entire arena in glorious golden light.
Abadon's fighting spirit did not fall behind her opponent, and she unleashed the full power of her Depravita Aura while summing the power of her Concept, manifesting a black domain around her body.
