Chapter 654: Tournament finals (part-2)
Attribute energy is something that existed inside every Arcana master. However, not everyone could bring it out. Stats say that only one in every ten thousand Arcana master can have the talent to bring it out.
But, what's the truth?
Well, ninety nine percent of those Arcana Masters who could do it were all experts that reached Rank-7.
Inadvertently, one can say that those who reached Rank-7 has 99% chance of extracting the attribute energy from their cells.
However, this theory also applies to those who lived longer than the longest ever lived mortal (at least 200 years). The longer one lives, the more they could extract the attribute energy.
For someone like Avia, who was only 44, it is already amazing that she possessed the talent to extract the attribute energy from her body. But, her lack of experience made it tough for her to keep extract the attribute energy and use it in battles.
Furthermore, she had no knowledge of sealing techniques or a way to use natural energy.
Hence, the moment Azzy sealed her soul orb, she has already lost her battle. But, she didn't complain cuz that is how she was.
Sasha, who complained a lot earlier and felt disgraced, shifted her anger she had on Azzy to Avia.
For six minutes straight, Sasha kept on using all kinds of techniques with her blood, wounding Avia over and over but didn't go to the extent of defeating her. For one's eyes, it clearly looked like she was toying with her opponent and that smile on her looked quite sadistic.
Azzy stared down at both of them. His gaze was calm and collected as if he wasn't bothered at all. Meanwhile, the scene at VIP Box is quite in contrast. Francis Blood looked all displeased but Yashna Night had this strange smile on her face.
18 minutes into the battle, which was completely one-sided from the start, Avia was seen lying on the ground with cuts and wounds all over her body while a perfectly alright-looking Sasha Blood had her foot on Avia's stomach, pressing her to the floor.
Sasha grabbed a wobbly Avia by her throat and pulled her closer, whispering, "thanks to you, my frustration has been reduced quite significantly. I don't think I would find any more joy in tormenting you more. So, I will put an end to your misery. Goodbye."
Sasha swung her away, intending to throw her out of the ring, and Avia was also about to exit the platform, but just at the last fraction of second, she managed to twist her body and managed to land on the platform, earning a deep frown from Sasha.
"You still haven't had it enough?" Sasha's earlier smile of amusement turned into seriousness as Avia used last bit of attribute energy to conjure one dagger in her hand. Sasha gathered her randomly floating blood needles and a blood spear, merging them together to give spikes to the blood spear and caught it.
Avia, taking heavy breaths, with her gravely injured body, replied in a determined tone, "You gave me enough pain, Sasha. All that pain, you should receive multifold."
"Look at your state. You could barely stand and you want to hurt me?" Sasha gripped her blood spiky spear tightly and motioned her hand backward, preparing to throw it. "Let's see if you still be in a condition to practice Arcana arts after this."The spear was about to be released from her hand and Avia's brown pupils eyes turned pitch black with slightly increase in size.
A word from her mouth escaped meanwhile, "twenty."
At once, the blood spear was dropped from Sasha's hand and her pupils contracted as she screamed in pain, grabbing her head and collapsing to the floor.
Sasha was instantly found on the floor in a helpless state, shaking every couple of seconds just like a patient desperately wanting for oxygen.
The entire stadium went silent and everyone got up to their feet, for a different reason from earlier, not expecting this scene. Even clan leaders couldn't help but stood up, with Francis Blood's frown deepened even more.
Slowly trudging to the fallen opponent, Avia stretched her dagger forward and said, "Arrogance is the reason for your defeat, Sasha. Don't… *cough* don't you know that majority of the Night clan members were born with the same inborn ability of Pain reflection? What you are now experiencing is 20 times of the entire pain I've felt for the past thirty minutes. You won't be able to…"
Before she finished her words, another shocking spectacle was seen in the arena, with the blood attribute energy gushed out of Sasha's body and enveloped her. Avia jumped away in reflex and landed a few meters away, letting out a hiss of pain.
Her entire body became so pale that one might wonder whether all of her blood was drained, and veins became prominent, creating a stark contrast against the now ghostly skin.
Her eyes changed color, turning into piercing blue and were now glowing. The pupils inside, meanwhile, became slit-like, resembling those of a predatory animal. The whites of the eyes took on a faintly silvery hue, adding to the otherworldly appearance.
The canine teeth elongated and sharpened into pointed fangs. Her fingernails grow longer and shaper, taking on a claw-like appearance. The hair too grew longer, thicker, and more lustrous, turning into silvery-white color.
Apart from that, a layer of scarlet aura was seen all over her body as Sasha got up to her feet, with an emotionless face.
"Vampiric transformation," mumbled Francis in the VIP Box, earning attention from the fellow clan leaders.
"Eh?" Yashna seemed surprised upon hearing those words. She couldn't help but comment, "I thought your clan no longer produced Vampires, ever since Bloody Mary incident. She managed to break that seal?"
The leader of Blood clan replied in a deepened tone, "I wasn't aware when or how she managed to break it. But, it isn't good. If Sasha didn't have her killing thirst under her control, your successor's life will be in danger."
Meanwhile, in the sky, Azzy was also seen in displeasure as he stared down at the vampire woman, "The Decarune seal was broken through pure will. Should I stop her or unseal Avia's powers?" He wondered.
On the battle arena, Sasha, in her Vampire form, doesn't look like she was in control of her body. Or perhaps, she doesn't want to waste her time. As soon as her transformation is finished, she charged forward at blurring speeds and when she reappeared, her claws were seen piercing Avia's chest.
Avia spouted out a mouthful of blood before she was thrown away. She crashed to the ground, outside the platform. Avia went unconscious.
However, the uncontrollable Vampire didn't done yet. Sasha took a leap and landed before Avia in one jump and was seen gathering soul energy in her palms.
Azzy didn't hesitate this time. He descended down.
"Haa.."
A collective gasp escaped from the audience. They looked at the clan leaders to take some action but neither Yashna nor Francis moved from their spots.
As Sasha formed a sphere of soul energy with a slight amount of blood attribute energy inside it and shot it toward her unconscious opponent, Azzy landed on the ground in between them and blocked it with his bare palm.
The attack left a scratch on his palm and Azzy hissed lightly but looked completely fine. He stared at Sasha with a cold gaze and spoke, "The match is over. Stand down, Participant Sasha."
Sasha opens her mouth and bares her fangs against Azzy, gathering soul energy in her mouth and shooting a powerful beam of energy at him.
Azzy stretched his palm once again, blocking the continuous energy beam and walking forward. Due to his sheer display of dominance, Sasha stopped her attack after a few seconds and charged forward.
However, Azzy is no Avia. She might have reached him in blurring speed and swiped her claws at his chest too but she couldn't strike him. Azzy evaded it at the last fraction of second with a duck, followed by giving a powerful uppercut to her chin at even higher speed.
Her teeth were smashed onto each other, cracking in the process, as she flew high in the air. Azzy then disappeared and appeared above her and giving a punch to her abdomen, using almost 90% of his power.
Her ribs were smashed as she crashed onto the floor, letting out a painful scream.
However, Azzy, through his Eyes of God, saw that her cracked teeth and her ribs were recovered almost instantly by her blood aura before she slowly got up to her feet, letting out a roar of a mindless beast.
Everyone heard a distorted tone from her roar and the aura on her body got even stronger.
"It looks like I have to paralyze her." Azzy raised his hands, and Jupiter's blue lightning sparks slowly conjured over his palms.

*Zzzzing*
It was at this moment a beam of dark energy came out of nowhere from the sky and put a hole in Sasha's chest, all of a sudden, stupefying everyone for a moment. Not even Azzy could sense it.
Everyone felt like their heart beat stopped for a second. The scene was that shocking to the viewers, especially to Francis.
Azzy, the clan leaders, and thousands of people raised their heads to see a young-looking man in a suit, "So, you guys finally noticed me." He let out a smile.
"Careful Azrael, it is a demigod with the power of death," The Reaper's voice echoed in Azzy's head at the same time.
