Eve
*The next day came and the tournament was filled to the brim beaming with souls filled with happiness, filled with energy and eagerness for the coming fights, all of the 9 stars had there seats just below the king and the royal council, the colloseum sat floating in the air just above the ocean just a couple dozen feet away from a beach the size was of 2-3 foot ball fields a massive stadium having over 60,000 people to witness the coming fight and millions more across the entire nation watching through magic orb projections and across every other nation. The announcer welcomed all the stars and all the contestants when it came to Wei Wuixans name the whole crowd cheered with a fury that shook the stadium and this happened when a couple other people of the tournament were called aspiring people to become stars.*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian looked down below and waved towards the audience below, although he wasn't sure whether they were able to see him or not. However, he still smiled*

"Let us see what happens, I am very curious, ha ha ha"
Dennis
*Slowly descended from the clouds a golden aura surrounding the sword saint, he had a buzz from the previous night, honestly he still was drunk a little, but it was fine soon as his feet slowly touched the ground a gust of wind whipped around the stadium, he stood tall as he stood on one side of the center, the other side of the center still remained empty he had smirked, his poison probably worked and no one probably caught it in time, a wicked grin came across his face, as he rose his hands up some of the crowd cheered most remained silent, this ticked off his nerves his swords floated around him bursting with a bright blue aura as his golden aura faded his soon his right arm absorbed a single blade until it became a sharp point with a sharp edge it became one with his arm this was his sword arm as the narrator made an announcement that stood in the center with a magic voice booming*

`"The challenger! The sword saint ready to claim the spot as the third star??? Who knows? Why didn't he challenge the 4th the orc warlord perhaps he prefers to fight those smaller or is it something else..."`

*The narrator had a preference but soon the sword saint spoke.*

`"Where is the challenged?! Has he gotten so scared that he refuses to show his face! I will claim the spot among the three most powerful stars and who stand in the way of me your beloved sword saint."`

*He bowed arrogantly it pissed the crowd off as boos couple be heard across the stadium.*
Derrick
*Had made his way to the stadium entrance he was on foot he felt uneasy and out of breath with each step, he placed his hand on the wall beside him he was tired and fatigued, but he wouldn't let his name be tarnished, he was the sleeping star and the sword saint would be soon to find that out, he would not bend or bow or fall before the sword saint he will win he believed in his heart and soul, catching his breath he fell to his knees with his hands on the ground, slightly as he looked down towards his hands he was in the corridor before the door's, of the arena no one could see him here but the people by the door but they looked concerned, but couldn't do anything, the narrator called for the sleeping star, once then twice he heard his name, panting as his hair fell across his face he stood slowly and rose standing tall, the doors would open revealing the light into his area, but the door he came from wss filled with blue aura whirling smd whipping rapidly in every direction, it cracked the walls and doors from where he exited two giant blue eyes of magic formed as if its own entity plunging parts where he walked into darkness his aura then encompassed the entire stadium, with the blue dragon like eyes rising to the center looking down at the sword saint, he could finally release this magic within him, it over shadowed sword saints aura each step he took left abyss like black underneath his feet a void of light as he approached his spot in the center.*

`"I accept the challenge of the fallen hero."`

*He stated pridefully*
Eve
`"Then let the battle BEEEEEEEGGGGGGIIIIIII!!!"`

*The narrator hauled ass out of the arena towards the door and plunged his way through as he wanted not to get in there way, as he knew it was about to ugly and fast.*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian looked below with his arms crossed as he tsked towards the sword Saint. It would seem that the poison had still taken its affect within the boy. He sighed, now beginning to analyze and watch their movements, this would allow for him to see what the sword Saint was capable of*
Dennis
*As soon as the narrator said begin he dashed straight towards the boy with no fear, sword floating around him spinning rapidly and changing directions and angles they served as his first line of defensive and could alternate from defense to offensive as extensions of his own sword styles, as if a person was wielding them, lunging forward towards elias, using magic beneath the boy with one hand to cause the ground he stood on to shift violently to the left then down he aimed his sword for the boys heart, as red aura engulfed the tip of his blade on of his eyes had veins and black forming around it a demon eye with a red orange pupil in the center.*

`"Heavenly pierce."`

*It cut through air, barrier and magic any other ability put forth the tip of his blade turned a crystalized orange red once it came into contact with the boy it would crystalize the area of contact*
Derrick
*Saw the sword saint blitz him as soon as he kicked off and rushed him he saw the blade turning ablaze in a red aura and the tip crystalizing as it got closer he rose his hand up and tried to side step but was to slow he released all his powers in a refined manner and funneled it into his muscles*

`"World Shamble."`

*He was hit straight to the chest and it sent him flying back towards the wall however the entire arena lifted and the flipped rising off the ground gravity flipping in the arena and the two switched placed vicarin instead flying into the wall the arena lifted so all the people below could witness by staring up.*
Dennis
*Felt himself being flipped upsidedown he felt his sword connect and saw the boy flying but then in a few moments he blinked he was sent into the wall crumbling it to shreds, he coughed soon he saw the arena had flipped upsidedown down and he was pulled towards it he kicked off the ground towards the arena and turned his body his feet landing on the surface as he prepared for the shift of gravity he came down ontop of the boy to slice down his shoulder as it would slice the arena nearly in half as he went down, the swords around him flew forwards and swung left to the boys side one twirled like a razor to slice the boy from his ankles as it glided around hkm gracefully with a orange and ash sulfur like particles and smell coming from the blades as there tips all had different colors.*
Derrick
*Held his chest as he looked down at it seeing crystalizing on where his heart was supposed to be, he saw the sword saint recover in seconds he was upon him once more, using two fingers touching then and splitting reality.*

`"Reality Split."`

*A line from space and time formed thin a string he grabbed it and slammed it into the ground as if it was a sword the area around him crystalized into glass like mirrors expanding outward ripping apart the entire arena Deflecting the sword saints attacks soon it shattered and formed each piece of reality like glass into swords and sent them flying towards the sword saint in every direction.*
Dennis
*Slammed his sword onto the reality like barrier his sword should have been able to break it but it left a crack with a loud boom against it, wind blowing back from the force he use sinking it in a little, then it expanded out pushing him away it felt like it was crushing him and cutting his skin from its sharpness flying back, soon hundreds of swords flew towards him swinging left right.*

`"Saintly Blessing."`

*All his swords turned a golden aura parried every pieces of the glass as the floated around him swinging wildly in every direction running forward as his swords cleared the way.*

`"Saintly Blessing Aegis."`

*His swords each sword they cut it send a golden phantom razor blade pulse of energy the size of sword towards Elias it shredding the ground as it headed towards him, lunging forward behind one he turned and dancing on his feet gracefully spun slashing down the boys waist, then switching his feet in an instant*

`"Divine order."`

*As his sword hit the ground it glowed golden beneath Elias, even if he parried he would activate it, the the crystalizing on Elias chest turned ablaze and began to burn and sear his flesh rising from the ground a golden statue appeared with the scale of justice balanced how ironic, it tipped to the left and its blindfold slowly came undone, it released powerful golden beam*
Derrick
*Pulled his sword from its sheathe on his back a black blade, with the embodiment of the void, it would be hard to look at for anyone as it shifted in pure and utter darkness no light escaped from it, it had a black and red aura, from the hilt, rising it Infront of him he dodged to the left then smacked and parried the golden phantom razors away from himself, as his sword absorbed each one, like a black hole would.*
 
*Seeing him rush forward once more he lunged forward towards him and parried his first hit as it began to chip away at his blade absorbing small pieces of it, as sparks flew between there swords he slid his sword down struggling as he pants sweating, trying to catch his breath, he stepped into him towards the left with his sword slicing his right bicep and thigh with precision.*

*He looked up from his position to see a massive golden statue shooting a beam through it's eye's towards him, he swung his sword towards the beam as his sword absorbed the beam slowly whatever it couldn't he deflected it towards the sword saint with an angle as he gritted his teeth the sword saint sent his other swords flying towards him he stepped back away from om the beam to dodge his floating swords gracefully back stepping and leaning back his speed was faster then any normal person could keep up with it would be only blurs and after images, the arena got sliced into pieces wherever the beam hit it would sear his flesh if it touched him, he screamed slightly at the burning sensation on his chest where his heart was.*

*He couldn't hold back the scream from the pain that built up there, blocking 4 swords at a time he danced around sparks flying left right, ground and high guard, he turned to face vicarin who swung his sword to his chest, from an overhead strike swinging up to the left to smack it away the beam slammed into him and dragging him across the arena searing his flesh as it brought him to the edge of the arena shaking the ground of it.*

`"World Shamble!"`
Dennis
*Seeing this black blade he knew from seeing him fight before it could absorb things into it, he had made a pact with a demon, to have demon eye, to be able to predict one move ahead, this showed him what the boy could do and probability of said move but this depended on if he was fast enough to act on it, it also granted him regeneration of his weapons, perfect for his fight against this boy, as his powers destroy and absorb things, it seemed, seeing his blade being chipped and sucked away as he collided blades with the boy, he saw him stepping to the left he countered and shifted his feet bringing his sword around gliding on the boys sword protecting his thigh and right bicep following with a kick towards the boys knee to try and break it, he was much smaller and a harder target so he missed, but he turned and rush towards him, after the beam fired, his sword being sent in tandem to attack the boy, seeing the boy scream in pain from the crystals on his flesh he smiles wickedly.*

*Swinging his sword to the boys chest as he was occupied he felt it be parried but that's all he needed and the beam collided with the boy as it dragged him across the arena, the power of demons was truly incredible he began to laugh, wildly as the area was flipped to normal he was lift in the air upside down and falling he switched placed once more felt his own beam hit him and it burned his clothing and flesh he used his sword to block and cut through the beam as it faded and the golden statue remained there, he landed on the ground when the arena went back to normal, he saw the boy laying on the ground smoking from the beam, he stood and cut into he air nearly hundred times.*

`"Slashes Of Abaddon."`

*Demonic like aura appeared as a hundred demonic slashes with skulls and souls screaming like banshees burned the ground to ash and slammed towards the boy from all angles as he jumped in a circle around the boy slashing at the air his swords all had demonic markings.*
Derrick
*Switching positions he felt relief from the burning of the golden statue, laying on his back on the ground he had blood coming down from his nose, onto his lips slowly gaining his senses back he saw red slashes and screams from every direction they had shockwaves to them that rattle his eardrums, and sent his vision blurry, he rubbed his eyes the souls of the damned screams from hell, it scared him, as he stood up shakily, raising his sword his knees barely keeping him up he looked around as each slash came towards him he paired it.*

`"Voids Gluttony."`

*Circle around him formed as he spun in a circle slicing his sword in the ground black flames where no light could escape rose any slash that entered made the flames bigger and bigger and the circle wider, he rose his sword vicarin blue mist formed around himself as the void began to funnel its flames into him he created metal strings that came across the battlefield razor sharp and he sent in every direction towards vicarin they were invisible however from how thin they were he stopped them before they could hit him, as he placed them all around the arena.*

`"Void Fall."`

*The sky would begin to turn pitch black as black wall over the sky formed every attack he absorbed from vicarin had turned void black and fell hard down upon the arena and vicarin, he turned his sword and rushed dodging his own steel wires flying through them like a bird until he was ontop of vicarin.*
Dennis
*Slowing down his swings, he saw his attacks being absorbed he was getting frustrated but he saw the fear on the boys face he was getting his results playing on a child's fears, and he saw his knees weak he laughed even more, as he steadied his feet he sent his swords flying towards Elias but they would be deflected and smack away by something in the air? Why couldn't his sword make it? They would slam into something and sparks would fly.*

`"Soul Fury."`

*His swords caught ablaze in hellfire as souls appeared around his blades and began to spin slashing and severing the steel like wires heading straight towards Elias, he rushed forward once more using a fencing stance.*

`"Heavenly Order."`

*The justice statue weigher tilted to the right and casted a barrier over the arena as it was being beat down upon by the void it began to crack and crack, all there attacks could destroy entire kingdoms, combined almost they went all out. Soon he saw the boy came towards him, he moved away and got sliced left and right through his armor by the steel wires, they sucked away his clothing on his chest and chipped his armor, he roared in anger as he stepped back swinging his sword straight thrusting then left overhand then to the right overhand down seeing the bow was getting desperate his floating swords sent scream waves towards the boy who was now exposed then came flying towards him one of them pierced the boys arm with the sword as he had his back towards them.*
Derrick
*Seeing his wired strings being cut he panicked slightly, as he was ontop of vicarin he swung down to the left then right, but they were parried he was hit on his chest side as he winced his sword chipping and breaking vicarins blade he felt relief internally, as he slowed down even more, sweat falling from his nose but he had cuts along his cheek shoulder and neck from vicarins fencing abilities, he looked up seeing his attacks being blocked but soon broke the barrier he sent his strings to come towards vicarin as he tried to retreat, he stepped back but straight into vicarins blade into his arm, he whimpered dropping his sword as his arm was pierced front to back down the bone as it was pulled out he couldn't feel his arm, he was out of breath and barely able to stand then he felt flash down his back then side blood coming from his back and side, he held his arm as he rose his void strings to block vicarin but his swords cut through he backed away, as he spoke.*

`"Word sham..."`

*He needed space to regroup his thoughts his mind was to clouded he was scared of the demonic screams as well and was half wheezing from the poison tanking his endurance away.*
Dennis
*Seeing his sword pierce the boys arm he sent it to pull out as blood poured on the ground as the boy retreated he looked at the sword in the ground and kicked it towards the boy mockingly as he was bleeding himself over his entire body, then he felt it the void draining his strength no it wasn't that... His muscles themselves were missing pieces... Whereever he got cut by the void it took pieces of his flesh and nerves he stood shaking slightly but rushed towards the boy grabbing his mouth by either end covering it and squishing it so he couldn't say his power. He lifted him by his head and slammed him into the ground cracking the earth letting him go he slammed his foot over the boy who was badly beaten, he kicked him in his chest stabbing him with his broken sword in the shoulder with one foot on his throat the fight was over the boy was suffocating and kicking at the ground trying to free himself from vicarins boot using his left arm as tears formed in the boys eyes he made sure the boy couldn't say he yielded and didn't knock him unconscious.*
Derrick
*Sent the metal void strings towards vicarin from all directions they would have chipped all his blades they would not be jagged and in tatters, pieces of metal all over the ground from his broken weapons but still could do damage, through there jagged edges and piercing, his void strings shattered two.More of blades, as he retreated and his mouth was grabbed his eyes opened wide as his strings slashed at his back and armor wildly as his remaining swords deflecting them his face hurt as it was being squished, he winces and closing his eyes slightly still looking at him as he was lifted off his feet he broke the grip but he still got slammed into the earth, he began to lean up with grit and reluctance, but he had no air left in his lungs but he pushed himself coughing he caught vicarins foot with his left arm and squeezed his ankle nearly crushing the bone but another foot got slammed into his throat he couldn't breathe he coughed up blood when his foot slammed on his neck veins forming on his neck and face, letting go of vicarins foot it slammed into his chest he whimpered underneath vicarin using whatever energy he had stored up to try and get his foot off his neck to speak an ability, but only gasps and strained incoherent speech came out, his legs began to kick at the ground his boots digging into the earth cracking it and shaking the ground but vicarin didn't move he felt his shoulder pierced with the broken sword he began to cry underneath vicarin as he was beaten and scared as he couldn't breathe.*
Kirk
*Was watching beside king chastiful and looked towards him but focused on the fight her aura was released the whole fight she stood calm and didn't move all to much trying not to show how she felt she had a smile but fury a fire burned in her eyes and soul, the chair she sat on the arm rests of stone had her fingers engraved into them her fingers had sank nearly 5, inches stone turning to dust in her palms as she was ready to jump in pink and purple magic flowing from her staff she slowly went to sit up to jump down to the arena*

`"Fuck the rules he's going to kill him!"`

*She said to spear king chastiful she knew the rules and she herself said to do nothing but she couldn't just sit back and watch that fuck laugh and abuse the boy, they let it go over and over because of rules and laws, but she didn't know if she could morally let this go even if it meant she broke tradition and rules that had not been broken for century or two.*
Dennis
*Twisted his boot on the boys throat as he pulled the sword that was apart of his arm out of the boys shoulder although broken it still did damage, he had a wicked grin but he had pieces small chunks of flesh missing all over his body blood pouring from every wound, his sword floating around him as he saw the boy having his face turned red his lips slightly turning blue as his struggle was dying out.*

`"Is this all the sleeping star has to offer? No more resistance? Your precious star with a mangled arm and no one to save him when a hero is in trouble who saves the hero?"`

*He laughed as he looked at the crowd feeling victorious then looking towards the stands with the contestants, and then locking eyes with wei after he found him with a baited grin he looked at the boy seeing his tears he didn't care why should he the weak belong beneath the boot of the strong no matter how you get to the top superior intellect and strategy to him counted as strong as well he just combined the two.*
Derrick
*Vision began to fade, as his eyes began to turn all black, the fight was not over just yet he placed his left arm onto the ground, lifted his legs up towards his chest and through the mans legs one foot on his stomach one on his back he turned to the side quickly in a flash sending the man off him slamming him into the ground he used whatever oxygen he had for this, taking a deep breath he turned over gasping and clawing at his throat, crawling slightly away as he turned over on his knees soon he would catch his breath he looked at his right mangled arm it was limp at his side soon standing up with half breath and staggering, color slowly returning to his lips and cheeks wiping his tears he just had to think with his head he didn't get to the 9 stars by crying, and giving up he went into his pouch and tied his right hand to his swords handle with a cloth and grabbed it with his left hand he readied a stance*

`"Void walker.."`

*His arms turned obsidian blueish black his eyes had an revealed from the black a blueish obsidian color the pupils being orange dragon slits with veins around them, black wings sprouted from his middle to lower back and he lunged forward towards vicarin.*
Dennis
*Had gotten thrown back and off by nearly a hundred meters as he didn't expect such force he thought he had won he was also looking at wei wasn't paying attention he slid on his back his sword began to heal on his arm as it became full once more, seeing the boy recover he gritted his teeth, feeling blood squirting out from the chunks of flesh that was missing, he stepped forward felt all the pain.*

`"Heavenly guidance."`

*The top of his swords began to glow a faint golden color despite using demonic energy, a golden trail guided him towards the kids vital points the tips of his blades would find there mark and be guided to them with his sword skill, only he could see it and others that were skilled enough, raising his sword Infront of him he swinging it down to the right splattering blood he got from Elias to the ground.*

`"You will fall."`

*Taking a step close to Elias he readied his weapons and swords.*
Derrick
*As soon as he was Infront of vicarin he swung his sword to thr side of vicarin then left, with each swing a black spear slash of void thrusted towards him almost out of black portals towards him, past his sword guard swinging his sword again as he jumped spinning down into him as he curled into himself a bit swinging his sword with all his might causing spear wave underneath where he himself stood for his last attack so when the arena flipped upside and vicarin was where he stood he would get pierced by the spears.*

`"World Shamble."` 

*If any of these attacks landed it would slice vicarin wide open. He took deep breaths trying to control his breathing even though it was very labored he was doing this with blurry vision.*
Dennis
*Parried the first hit and two of swords flew towards Elias, to slice his head open the other to take his arm, he kept the others floating around him to protect him jumping back but Elias was right ontop of him again, he parried the sword strike to the left he saw spears appear from black portals one sliced his cheek and another pierced his shoulder, he kicked back and sent his two swords to block his overhead attack but they were badly chipped one of them snapped he thrusted forward towards his chest but the world flipped he was off his feet and in the air switching places in the arena as the arena flipped amd wss floating upside down he felt spears pierce his left leg and right leg.*

`"Fuck.."`

*He broke them off with his sword and stumbled down he was down to 3 swords left, floating around him slowly standing up dashing forward but so did the kid he swung all his swords at once flying towards the kid in a thousand slashes as he thrusted his sword, swinging left right as a hellfire came from his main blade as he screamed in anger.*

`"Divine Order Punishment."`

*Golden whip like blades came from his swings with his sword a golden whip blades sounds of thunder with each whip hundreds of them with thunderous cracks ripping apart the arena and area underneath and around behind Elias regardless if it hit or not, all his moves were graceful calculated and followed specific movements, to vital targets.*
Derrick
*Seeing his spears pierce his legs, he had a weak smile, as he focused, his eyes darting left and right, they moved as fast as lightning, he flapped his black wings feathers came loose as a bolt of lightning no even faster as they fought in every corner and every inch around the arena, seeing a barrage of slashes he tried to parry left right, but his sword skills weren't refined like the sword saints, he had skill precision, he jumped back parrying and guiding his sword away from his body using defensive sword fighting side stepping and back stepping swinging only when the swords would and could hit him, he panted soon golden whip like blades, came he dodged one two then parried a few but got slashed and hit with golden whip blades slashing his chest stomach sides arms blood leaking from his flesh he spoke.*

`"Reality Split 

*Grabbing the shard of reality he swung it towards vicarin*

`"Void Ice."`


*A reality warping slash flew towards him that would cover half the arena where vicarin was it would fully engulf him into a clear glass dome however rainbow like colored glass shard would fly towards him from every direction. He jumped into the dome himself his with his sword he used his left hand and motion with his fist towards his body pulling vicarin towards him with his arms pinned toward his sides with his chest out like a force pull and sent him earth below the dome landing beside him he slashed at his chest, black ice forming around his blade and extending out to try and slash him with ice it was as sharp enough to cleave mountains with ease.*
Dennis
*With his attacks landing he began to slow down himself, blood had dried up across his body and legs, seeing reality attack ready for an expanding dome to push him away, but he grabbed it and used it to swing towards him reality splitting in half towards him stepped to the side panting, it would have split him in half, but now he would find himself inside a dome of glass, seeing rainbow like glass but it wasn't glass it was the reality blades that cleaved reality wherever it touched he dodged left and right, side stepping his sword slashing them away, soon he was lifted off the ground he couldn't stop it as he screamed in anger as he was lifted towards the boy met his face, his arms pinned behind his sides then he was slammed into the earth face first, it broke his nose, and a fee ribs from its force, he saw the boy coming towards him and slash him he shattered the ground with a
 punch shattered the earth into blocks almost as it sent him into the air along with boy the ice it missed, he grabbed one of his swords, as it lifted him off the ground as his legs were weak, panting he fell on one knee placing his arm sword in the ground for a moment and ran it forward against the earth towards Elias*

`"Divine Blade."`

*His swords expanded bigger around him as they spun around him quickly into they were a blur he walked forward as his blade had golden aura coming into Elias guard from below he punched Elias in the face to the left sending him crashing into his dome and falling to the ground with shards of his own reality warping glass slicing his back a couple shards deep into his flesh, he rushed forwards twirling and swung in a circle then reverse as he swung down gracefully in Elias.*
Derrick
*Felt the ground being lifted up he looked down seeing the ground being shattered to pieces, he spread his wings and flew back a bit but he got punched in the face and it sent him toward the wall of his reality dome and then fell to the ground one of his wings broke in impact with the dome cracking he layed on his stomach as he panted resting his head down he couldn't keep up with him not like this... He was out of energy, if Only he was not poisoned, feeling glass shards in his back he groaned and screamed when he moved, as he looked at the other stars for help almost, as he felt really tired he began to close his eyes slowly as he lowered his head to the ground but he still had the dome it caved in on itself as he was at the edge he phased out of it leaving himself on the ground and it caved in closing slowly into a smaller smaller ball with vicarin trapped inside.*

`"Reality Eclipse."`

*It rose the dome into the sky towards the sun it blocked out the sun with vicarin inside it expanded and expanded and expanded until the entire kingdom was in darkness in an eclipse before a wave of black encompassed the entire arena it couldn't expand outward because of the spells enchantments and crystals containing all magic inside, but it even cracked those barriers as it destroyed dismantled every atom in the entire arena his hair swaying violently as he was engulfed by it himself with a blinding light no one could look at, it would aim to suck out all of energy, oxygen, swords into it leave him Immobilize him as it would burn his flesh off the bones by with the explosion of atoms to wipe small kingdom off the map.*
Dennis
*Got stuck in the reality dome he screamed in pain and agony as it was lifted into the sky it felt as if millions is glass shards pierced every inch of his flesh, it was like that however long thin pillars pierced his flesh by an inch across his entire body face forehead head legs arms keeping him in place. Soon he was blinded by the sun and he nearly went blind looking into the void, it made him blinded in one eye the other eye was safe as it didn't look into reality eclipse void, but he was screaming bloody murder.*

` "Greater Demon Precursor Protection."`

*A coating of demonic energy and armor from hell formed around him of damned souls and spirits as his swords that were still expanding brought fire from hell and a explosion of hells fire in every direction pushing against the reality slash with hells dimensional fire, he would be covered in red fire and lava, soon as the smoke was clearing he would be panting but alive, covered in cuts and bruised and blood, he lumbered forward, stumbling, he saw the boy laying on the ground the narrator hadn't said he was unconscious or a victor so he stumbled closer and closer all his swords were gone the sword in his arm was barely able to be called a sword anymore, he formed his hand back as he fell to his knees beside the boy and turned him over with whatever energy he had and looked into his eyes as he placed two hands around the boys throat a sinister exhausted smile came across his face as he pressed his thumbs into the boys throat as his face began to turn red once more the face of terror and fear is what drove him.*
Derrick
*Layed on the ground as black smoke covered whatever was left of the arena, he crawled forward with his one good arm to get away from the man he was scared he wanted to stop fighting he forgot what he was supposed to say to stop, the fight, he stopped moving for a bit as he nodding in and of consciousness he lost so much blood he was so tired, yet the whole fight he was tired, but yet he still fought and fought his hardest, soon he felt his shoulder grabbed... How did he survive how did he... He should not be able to live through this his eyes filled with fear as he gasped for breath mouthing the words as it came to him that he yields but no words came out only gasped strained gargles and voice he couldn't even resist his eyes began to roll back as he kept trying to say stop and he yielded he left the sword saint half dead...*
Eve
*The narrator spoke up after narrating the entire fight he spoke up running into the arena with his magic microphone.*

`"Once more the sword saint has the upper edge the sleeping star of the world is on the ropes will be manage to make a another great escape or is it all ovvvveeeeerrrr hereee!!!"`

*He yelled out into the booming sky, the crowd waited with baited breath but as the minutes began to pass the crowd that was cheering for the silent star began to turn into anger and rage yelling for the sword saint to stop and that he had won, as they saw the kids eyes rolling back the crowd got even more animated and angry*

`"Let him go, he's trying to yield let him yield!"`

*More cries came out as they saw the live slipping from the boys face as his lips began to turn blue once more and his face extremely red.* 


`"You animal! Monster! Evil!."`

*Underneath the stadium there was a demon that funneled hells magic up from the bottom up towards vicarin in a slow pace nothing could get out of the stadium but the magic didn't prevent things from coming into the stadium expecially dark magic such as a devil's magic it was well known that no one had tampered with the tournament's since forever.*
Dennis
*Looked up to the crowd as he saw his thumbs sinking deep into the boys throat leaving bruises somewhere deep down he had humanity and wanted to stop, but with the devilish hell powers flowing in his veins he couldn't stop himself his own blood dropped onto the boys face drip by drop, he panted as he felt the boys weak hand try to push him off the boys sword had been tossed away from his hand and the cloth unraveled from his hand so he had no one weapon nearby*

`"I will not stop until I win until I become one of the three stars..."`

*His ambition and greed filled his angered and rage fueled eyes to see this as a kid but as an enemy*
Derrick
*Tried his best but he began to skip away into unconscious state as his lips turning blue, he placed one hand weakly in his arm but it was smacked away he wanted to beg for help he wanted his hot chocolate and his donuts in the moment, it brought him comfort his strained eyes trying to look for his friends to help him but he couldn't his voice was not there.*
Valerie
*The more he watched this sword saint fight, the more he realized and saw the demonic arts from within... He shook his head and his blood only began to boil... With that, he closed his eyes and began to send a soundless transmission message to the young apex star... Wei Wuxian's voice loud and clear to him, and with such instructions as follow*

```"Listen to my voice... Close out all your senses... Open your mind's eye and you will see everything... Recite the following with me... Hasten to do good; restrain your mind from evil. He who is slow in doing good, his mind delights in evil..."```

*What he told the young apex star was a small piece of a holy scripture within the upper realm, well known from the Kunlun Sect, a sutra that weakens the evil of others, naturally weakening evil and or demonic beings... Sending another soundless transmission message*

```"Now, I know you're a natural and genius, thus I'll tell you the generals to grasping qi... It is an energy... Your core source to life and everything... Feel it within your core, around your stomache area... Feel it coursing through your veins and filled within the air... Draw it in and imagine a single giant long sword filled with that energy to fall down at the sword saint, think "100 returning swords: 1 sword". Use this energy to replenish your fatigue and give you strength, and use it to expel more of the poison... That poison is an icky feeling, a feeling that isn't nice like the sword saint... We will talk afterwards today about what I just told you"```

*This ultimately would teach him one of Wei Wuxian's personal techniques, one with great power and requires great intunement with one's body and control. For the sleeping star to become so powerful and rise so high at a young age, it ultimately means that his talent is far superior than any other his age...*

*Stood up from her chair calling her mage staff to her hand stepping towards the edge of the ledge they were watching from she couldn't stand here watch another one die let alone to this scum bag who should barely be standing he was half dead it could barely be considered a win, raising her staff to sky as she cycled through her spell, the colors of spells like holograms from her staff as she quickly swiped through them with anger like an inventory list.*

`"I'm going to kill that fuck even it means I become a criminal I'll take responsibility for my actions the world will be better without a sicko living within it."`

*The orc war chief valued tradition and and honor over personal feelings so he would unsheathe his two battles axes from his sides and start walking Infront of Kleo and raising one towards her with a chuff.*

`"No break tradition."`

*He chuffed at her, she would look to spear king chastiful with a look of fury and determination was she in the wrong?*
Dennis
`"Why won't you just die! Your holding onto nothing no one will save you, you can't concede I won't let you go unconscious the only way out is death for you I warned you didn't I back outside the cafe."`

*He relieved some pressure from his thumbs as his muscles weakened needed a small break from the burning sensation all over he looked at wei wuixan once more then the stars.*

`"This is one the three stars and the cheap knock off Wei Wuixan will suffer this same vary fate here of your sleeping star."`

*He turned back to the boy who seemed unmoving he shook his body slightly blood drying over his body he shoved his thumbs back into the boys neck pushing down seeing him catch a few breaths he didn't want him to do anything but die, that's was all on his mind to kill, to kill the third star to take his place one step closer however he had no fighting power left but through time he began to rejuvenate his power through the devil helping him that sat underneath the stadium floating with there legs crossed smoking a cigarette.*
Derrick
*Felt a small break from the choking he had coughed and took a gasping few breaths his chest rising and falling hard he heard instructions in his head as he said to recite the words he would do so he would not quit now with this new resolve given to him but he also wasn't a fool to fight to fight to death when he knew he was beaten.*

`"Hasten to do good: restrain your mind from evil. He who's is slow in doing good, his mind delights in evil."`

*His blue lips move trembling as soft words escape as he said it in his mind as well before he lost his breath again.*

`"Gaah..."`

*He focused on his mind as his body was failing him but his mind remained fortified, he focused on feeling qi, he began to do as instructed, looking searching honestly desperately for what he said qi then he found it a faint signature of the power within him he began to draw it into his body and began to imagine he 100 swords using his void fall as a reference if soon he felt his mind fading and slipping away even he had his limits, his eyes began to roll back slightly he had managed to get the last part down and feel some of his energy returning he just needed a small break to complete the process even just a second of vicarin to falter and he would be able to recover he felt.*
Valerie
*The old man stood up, standing at a tall 7'0, his eyes filled and spilling with qi as his anger had reached it's height...*
﻿
```"Dear War Chief, the tradition has been broken... As such he has soiled the 100 year tradition himself... This damned fool dare mess with demonic arts...```
﻿
*Then with a loud voice booming from their place, his voice infused with qi, loud enough for everyone within the kingdom to hear*
﻿
```"This Sword Saint has dared to use demonic arts within this tournament! As the second seat of the 9 stars, the judgement Star, I declare this match in the sleeping star's favor as a result of the use of demonic arts. Thus I will not exercise my authority and detain such a being!"```
﻿
*The man yelled, thus immediately, he jumped down, appearing in front of the Sword Saint with his spear drawn and pointed at his throat, nearly centimeters away*
﻿
```"I suggest you let him go, before I execute you here..."```
Dennis
*As the heavenly scripture was recited he felt a burning sensation then everything across his entire body hurt all at once from the demonic energy hitting him, he screamed out in agony with multiple voices like souls all in one screaming from him, he loosened his grip from the boys neck and soon after he had a spear at his neck ready to slash him down, he panted and couldn't fight no swords, no armor no energy, all his wounds, he kept his hands softly around him throat as he heard king chastiful explanation, his eyes turned red with fury as he spoke with exhausted breath each word coming after a pant.*

`"False allegations! I have done no such thing! Your claims are baseless and interrupt centuries of tradition!"`

*He was on his knees over the boy he was more then worse for wear. 

The demon beneath the colleseum felt the scripture reach his own very core, a loud screech escaped his mouth as he dropped his cigarette as his devils cry shook the entire colleseum and the entire city, thousands of souls trapped within this demon cried out all at once the screams of the damned devil it would make ears bleed and demonic energy tether between the two shattered as he flew around his wings burning up into an inferno as he plummeted to the ground below crashing into a house. The filthy human got caught stupid human! He was dumb all these humans were dumb he would be sure to take great care of this ones soul whenever he got it.*
Valerie
*It was there as he noticed the sutra recited, he smiled, thus preparing a barrier around the people to mitigate the damage of the devil's screech. He shook his head more as he was now ready to pummel this son of a bitch to the dirt... Then he infused his voice with qi booming loudly from the floating towers*

```"You dare lie! That devil we heard... If that is not proof, then what is proof enough!"```

*He yelled, there he relayed soundless transmission messages to the 2 elders hiding with the stands... Go hunt down this devil and bring him back... With such orders, 2 powerful and bright qi's illuminated from the stands, then flying out to look for the demonic being*
Sidney
```"You dare accuse me of such thing when you have resorted to demonic arts? Inconceivable, you have lost this match by default. Thus I recommend you stop, before I truly do something to you"```

*The spear king said, decisive and ready to strike at any moment*
Derrick
*Felt his thumbs release from his neck catching his breath with a big pained deep breath, using recovering breathing but just taking a very big inhale then coughing then another big inhale he completed what Wei told him and felt the poison being dispelled and strength returning he smacked vicarins arms off of him grabbed him by the face and threw him to the ground like a rag doll holding his face before crawling towards spear king chastiful with one arm and on his knees as he grabbed onto spear kings pants clothing slightly as he dragged himself to hide behind spear king resting his tired head against his leg scared and tired but even in his time of fear he fought, when he thought he would lose he still fought, he faced all his fears head on but now he just wanted to be safe and rest his right arm layed limp in his lap as he catches his breath color slowly returning to his face*
Dennis
*The crowd hearing the devils cry the entire crowd was now convinced they're was no hiding it from them and they saw the souls that screamed from his face the entire crowd called for him to be removed from the stars and called shame upon him and any reputation he had left was no gone, if not for harming a boy but for using dark magic his career was was over as a star politically he would be in house arrest and magic nullification rooms until he is needed for battles or if he was challenged all and any privileges would be stripped he went to argue, but he felt his arm smacked away from the boys neck violently then he felt his face grabbed with force he hadn't felt before it cracked his facial bones then he was slammed back of his head and back lifted off the ground and into the earth beneath spear kings feat he gasped for breath.*

`"No... I haven't lost... I can't of possibly lost I am the sword saint."`

*His voice horse and weak he could barely speak after that heavy hit with a force he never felt before it wasn't mana or void magic in nearly broke every facial bone he had.*

*The demon stood up slowly as it held its chest in pain pulled out a cigarette and wore a tuxedo it had a leathery thin tail either a spike black horns and red skin of fire, he put the cigarette to his lips and began to smoke as he looked up seeing two being flying down his cigarette nearly fell from his lips oh shit... Probably time for him to go he thought, as he got ready to jump off the room to go into the crowd but the elders could smell sulfur and fire and see the immense demonic powers from him, he didn't really care for a fight he was a demon and only cared about souls and deals.*
Chad
*The two elders caught onto to such smell and power demonic powers emanating from this demon, thus were able to find and track him down quickly. The moment they saw this demon, they both clapped their hands together to form a sort of qi prison... One that is poisonous and dangerous to demons or devils if touched...*

"You will regret making an appearance here!"

*They both yelled*
Sidney
"You have lost this fight, thus remain as the 5th star... You have no right to refuse, you are nothing but scum whom has fallen to the demonic arts... Shut your mouth before we execute you here..."
Dennis
*The demon was instantly captured within the prison of qi he touched the edge and it burned his finger tips he hissed as he looked at the elders.*

`"I only wish to reap a soul I care not for your humanly affairs what someone uses my powers for is not for me to decide I know nothing of what's done with it I only provide my assistance at a cost. I sought no one out he sought me out simple business."`

*He said in a nonchalant tone as he took puffs from his cigarette and taking a seat inside the qi prison to get comfortable.*

*Vicarin paused for a few moments as he turned into his side and remained quiet accepting his defeat where was the demon? He made a pact with where was there power? He took a breath and spoke*

`"Where is the medical attention, I am losing a lot of blood i need help"`

*The people booed and threw things into the arena towards vicarin food, hard items, and more.*
Chad
*Together with both elders, they weaved their hands at the same time matching hand signs. Immediately closing it closer and placing the prison with the demon within a barren secluded realm for the time being.*
Sidney
"Ke, help yourself, deal with it"

*The spear king narrowed his eyes, lowering his spear, then began walking towards the stands once more, scoffing*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian shook his head, taking out a pill, he shot it down towards the sword Saint. A pill that would heal his injuries as he crossed his arms. With a loud booming voice*

"I will fight you at full strength, I will show you what a real sword Saint is... No, I'll show you what a sword immortal is capable of... I am Wei Wuxian... One sword is all I will need..."

*The man said, with his arms crossed, he tapped his cane on the floor... This man was going to demolish and topple this so called sword Saint and prove his mantle soon*
Eve
*The narrator called the guards to come into the arena and they lifted him out by his arms and legs and forced the pill down his throats they put magic nullification shackles on his body and dragged him away to a cell*
Derrick
*Finally had enough energy, had enough strength and air in his lungs but his lips had a faint blue color to them, he stood slowly stumbling a bit, he limped holding his mangled arm he spoke to the spear king.*

`"Wait your moving to fast... You may be old... But your legs are so long... How can an old man walk so fast."`

*He says jokingly but it was because spear king chastiful was 7 feet he was 5'4 he walked taking 4-5 steps each one of chastifuls to try and keep up as he kept nodding off tiredly but the qi had him rejuvenated he felt like he could go for another fight, his body shouldn't be moving by all rights but the qi moved his broken, hurt body.*

`"Chastiful did I do good I tried my best, I really tried to win."`

*He asked with a smile he reached around his back and pulled out shards of glass wincing as he pulled a couple large shards from his flesh dropping them on the floor before holding his arm again the pain had also been numbed alot perhaps the adrenaline or was it the qi he didn't know but what he did know is that he was sleepy and tired.*

`"I'm sleepy, and tired.. But I did it I beat the mean sword saint."`

*He exclaimed as he threw a fist into the air happily, before coming back down and holding his other arm nope not doing that again he began nodding off as he walked stumbling slightly then waking up with each step the entire crowd was filled with relief, and joy but then again, the crowd was also absolutely stunned how did the sleeping star move with such grave injuries he had no more magic left as said by the narrator, and he was self exhausted but got revived almost and there was no outside interference to help him, what was that power? The crowd began to chat and question it.*

*He pulled on chastiful hand gently as kleo made a wooden pathway for them to walk back up to the stands he stayed close to his side even though he was scared of king chastiful a bit he saw him as like an uncle of sorts*
Sidney
*The old man stopped and put his arm around the young boy and walked with him*

"Miraculously, you technically won. Even if he weren't declared a demonic arts user, that sudden power allowed you to win..."

*The old man looked up at Wei Wuxian and in return the humble Taoist turned around and whistled along. Chastiful laughed as he walked with the boy*

"You deserve to sleep and rest young one"

*The old man picked him up and held him in his arms as he walked forward*

"Here is what I will say towards the audience, such a power was a result of an enlightenment during a battle. Cheer as he has attained a new level of strength, may he continue to surprise us further"

*The old man's voice bellowed towards the audience*
Derrick
*Nodded at chastiful, if he hadn't used demonic powers he wouldn't have made it that far, no one has ever survived his reality eclipse like that before, his hair shifted with each step as soon as he was picked up he basically passed out in his arms snuggling into the mans chest he had fell asleep within seconds the moment he didn't have to walk, his head resting against the mans body he felt safer then ever here.*
Kirk
*Bit her lip as she looked at the spear king with a contained laughed as they rose towards the stands for the stars.*

`"Awe look at that the old man does have a heart, I didn't think you would look so hmm kind before."`

*She stated softly as she looked at him was all of the people that had some connection to the taoist morally right and good, where was the elder that she spoke to before she would have liked another conversation with him, once in the stands she would tend to his wounds while the spear king held him.

The crowd had cheered as the event progressed many aspiring rose and fell, in the tournament, until it came down until Wei and one other person in the finale! With Weis amazing display of the power of the sect it captivated the people and he came out victorious, and soon came time for Wei to challenge one or two of the 9 stars and or for one of the 9 stars to challenge him.*
Eve
*The narrator spoke with his megaphone of magic as he approached the prideful Wei Wuixan with suspense filling the air.*

`"Who will the taoist! Defeater of the demon lord challenge next, can anyone stop his endless crusade forward, his driven motivation to become a star, he is now here at the final hurdle! Wei WUIXAN!!!"`

*The crowd cheered wildly and shouting his name*

`"Let us not get ahead of ourselves now! We have seen the display of the stars could do in the beginning with that in mind Wei Wuixan the palace master and humble taoist how will you proceed who will you challenge? What were your thoughts on the fight between the sword saint versus the sleeping star boy, did it hit any nerves or test your morality as a new comer new to our tradition I know it must have been difficult to not intervene to save a child even though be it the child be powerful."`

*He rose the microphone to Weis face as he wanted drama he wanted the crowd to become invested that was his whole job after all*
Sterling
*Soon both elder guang and Shen came back, as he came to the stands, he quickly moved around and eventually found himself standing next to Kleo as he smiled*

```"Hmm, it seems I found myself here whilst walking through the stands... I'm glad it lead me here"```

*The man smiled as he peered into Kleo's eyes*
Sidney
```"Tch, I've always been. I simply have a soft spot for kids"```

*The old man chuckled, with time, it seems thta his old iron heart had softened with time. To show such kindness to the boy was something he wouldn't have done 40 years earlier. Eventually walking back up to them and noticed the elder and simply raised a brow. Then chuckled as he conveniently walked away with the kid and dragged the warchief back to their seats*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian stepped onto the edge of the floating tower and smiled. Then stepped off and began to free fall, bringing his arms together he began to fly down rapidly until he used his qi to slow himself down as he front flipped forward and landed on his feet. Cane in hand as he looked around and chuckled, waving towards everyone and smiled before them.*

```"My thoughts? I know of why the sleeping star was in such condition, we can thank the Sword saint for poisoning him to sabotage... And did it strike nerves? Certainly, however, it is better to be thought a fool, than be a fool. I did my best to restrain myself from stepping out..."```

*Wei Wuxian sighed and shook his head, he crossed his arms*

```"Who will I challenge? I will challenge the Fallen Sword Saint... I will show him what true swordsmanship is today."```
Eve
*As he jumped off the floating tower the crowd watched with excitement and awe as he gracefully landed with his cane, and he landed with absolute grave, the crowd had grown quiet to listen to Wei Speak as he claimed the sword saint poisoned the sleepy star?*

`"You heard here folks, for yourself with your own ears the taoist claims the sword saint used poison! In the sleeping star... But if that was the case taoist, are you saying not only did the sword saint use sleeping powers he also used the dark and forbidden with the poison? Where is this said poison! What does this poison do please do tell the crowd show the people your claim! Can the sword saint fall anymore then this?!!"`

*The crowd was bursting into an angry uproar if this was true the energy of the crowd filled with anger and sickness towards the sword saint further just digging his grave of his image and reputation not that they're was much left if he proved the poison was true it would further solidify the boys position at top three that the sword saint had to cheat to such lows and even with all the extra power in his favor he barely won then again he truly didn't win at all. But as soon as Wei challenged the sword saint the crowd went wild!*

`"You heard it folks! The great people of the empire of sicarals the great humble taoist challenges the sword saint to a fight, will this fight be one where you show restraint like the other's or will you grant him mercy the mercy he failed to grant the boy."`

*He turned the microphone to him as the crowd grew silent to listen.*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian then took out the small vial of poison from what he managed to expel from Elias and held it towards the audience*

```"This vial of poison here is a poison that dulls ones senses, it weakens them, as a result giving the "Sword saint" And advantage in battle. This is as much as I could expel out of the small wound on the young sleeping star's wound. It it were not for one of my elders nearby, it would've been a worse outcome..."```

*He sighed and shook his head. He was going to bring everything to light and bring this damned person down*

```"His chances of mercy have been long diminished... I'll add conditions... First! He lays his title of sword saint on the line and the second the arm of which he wields a sword... If he were to win, I will cripple my cultivation and step down as the Palace Master of the Immortal Sword Palace!"```

*The man said boldy claiming such a thing to them as he was ready to lay everything on the line. Defeat was no option today, whether it be merciful or not against the Sword Saint*
Eve
*Saw the sma vial of poison and used his magic putting it into a magic hologram for the entire stadium to see those with appraisal magic began scanning it instantly and soon all the things wei said were true.*

`"Kill him! Don't let him get away with this!"`

*The crowds enchanting calls for the death of the sword saint rang out through the entire, colleseum even throughout the nation those watching from home or inns with magic, anger spread across the world in unified hate for one person, so much so it came to a head they wanted his head on a spike.*

`"A humble taoist you are indeed to care and be selfless for others even though you don't need to a truly inspiring hero that all should strive to be to make society a better place."`

*He stated, as he listened to the terms Wei Wuixan stated the crowd once more went wild.*

`"He puts his own pride and title on the line for the fight for the sword saint! But enough of my talking you can say it to the sword saint himself!!!"`

*The guards brought out the sword saint removing his shackles and releasing him into the center of the arena.*

`"The king asks for the other stars to ensure he does not leave or try to run who knows the depths a rat is willing to go."`
Dennis
*Was walked into the arena as his shackles were removed he was in complete healed condition and new armor and clothes, the blacksmith also granted him his new weapons they had his heavenly engravings in them but these had no demonic markings and he had little to no demonic energy in him it was just his normal power that he attained through his own feats alone.*

`"All you people, ungrateful for the deeds I have done for you all even now as you cast me away I will stay act a star as prisoner and protect you when I must because you can't protect your weak selves."`

*He looked towards the taoist his arm forming into his crystalized red sword.*

`"I accept your challenge, if you lose you won't have a chance to step down from any title."`

*He planned on killing Wei the first chance he got, he wouldn't hesitate like he did with the boy he would go straight for the throat, heart or vital organs, soon the narrator ran out yelling let the battle begin!*
Valerie
"To be strong doesn't mean you get to have your way. One must exercise restraint in order to truly enlighten themselves. You are nothing more than a child running around with great arrogance and elitist attitudes..."

*With the sword Saint essentially threatening him, he only laughed as such a thing wouldn't scare him. He had no fear going into this, nor did he have any now. God forbid, Wei Wuxian shows him the side of him 50 years prior to this moment...*

"Ke ke ke... We'll see who'll be beginning for mercy soon"

*His eyes glowed with the brilliance and black and white yin-yang qi... The atmosphere around became harder to breath in, as he began to release the true depths of his qi... His presence only becoming greater and more overwhelming, overshadowing that of the Sword Saint's by leagues... It was there when he opened a portal and reached his hand from within and drew out a sword with a large sheathe... Though seemingly ordinary, though it had chains all around it and shackled together*

"Show me what your sword art is, oh "Great sword Saint" And enlighten this humble Taoist..."

*It was then he released the chains and seal upon the sword... The shackles clacking and dinging against each other, sounding dense and hard... When falling to the floor, loud thumps and craters formed from underneath the chains... The moment he imbued qi into the sword, it overflowed and brimmed with intense yin-yang qi... The fragrance and smell of plum blossoms filled the arena, its ethereal sweetness pierced through*

"Be honored, you'll be the first to witness my Dao Weapon, please tell me how it is"

*Drawing the blade, it revealed its clean silver blade, yet to be touched by the red taint of blood... It was engulfed in his dense qi. When the narrator started the fight, he raised his blade and sighed* **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art, First Movement: Slash** *There, he simply swung his sword down, releasing a powerful and dense stream blade of qi within a moment's notice towards Vicarin, already aiming to fatally injure him. Enough power to crack his swords if used to block*
Dennis
`"If that's what you believe filthy knock off, I almost killed the sleeping star yet you believe you stand a chance before me"`


*He spit on the ground Infront of him kneeling slightly and picking up dried dirt with blood on it that made it slightly solid.*

`"The blood of the boy does it make you feel fury when looking at it here catch."`

*He tossed it to Wei with a smile as he saw his powers activating he lunged forward he wouldn't hesitate to wait for some strange power up or magic but soon a phantom like blade of qi come towards him he gracefully went over it with a flip as he switched his style when fighting Wei, he spun in the air landing on the ground side stepping left and right each step he lunged closer in flashes he went all out at the beginning, his sword style using the hilt and point sword dance style a mix of fencing, and broadsword style of fighting he swung his sword towards Weis side to his waist to glide it along his body, he wasn't drunk and had his full potential unleashed, the swords around him spun in a circle as they glowed, a gentle golden hue with protection engravings glowing making them able to take hits from any star below him or at his level roughly he didnt know how strong wei was.*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian chuckled as when the sword came at him, he side stepped with ease, It was there, Wei Wuxian would no longer hold himself back, as a sudden burst of killing intent filled the place now... It was there he began thrusting furiously and quickly, delivering 6 thrusts at his swords intentionally as to break them in fact, placing using all his strength and power as he wished to... The sword surged with yin-yang qi making the blade even sharper and more destructive in power, the swords which made contact with those trusts would surely be cracked or even chipped with a single attack.*

```"To need to use more than one sword hm? Truly hilarious"```

**Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Phantom Swallow** *In a moment's notice, he disappeared into a blur, beginning to appear all around him, leaving after images of himself. Though he zoomed by the sword saint 4 times, each with great and devastating slashes aimed accross his chest. If the sword were to be used to block, it would surely crack and chip Vicarin's swords, if the protection engravings took the attacks, this would cause cracks within the engraving as his power surpassed that of the sword saint*
Dennis
*Going right passed wei he stopped himself with his foot spinning around to be met, with 6 sword thrusts he used his floating swords they swung in every direction to block his blades but as soon as the first sword broke he pulled back the swords away from his body and Wei, before thrusting forward towards his heart as wei disappeared in a moment his sword hit nothing but air.

*He looked around unable to keep up what was this feeling... Why couldn't his eyes keep up with him as each time passed and he whipped past him he moved his remaining 5 swords towards him and spun them around in a circle, each sword took a hit of these attacks, and cracked the engravings and each sword that took a hit.*

`"Why move so fast afraid you'll get strangled like the boy, you coward. Divine Order Heavenly Order."`

*A gold ring descended upon the arena with heavenly aura and golden pulse went across the battlefield to slow down everything within it, except himself, to bring order to the battlefield give him a chance to react and counter attack*
Valerie
```"Then how about I played with you directly? Since you wanted such a thing"```

*With everything slowed down he chuckled, as he arrived in front of Vicarin, thrusting the blade right at his chest* **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Piercing the Heavens** *With that, he thrusted his sword forward, as he did not only was it filled with a sharp and piercing sword intent all concentrated at one point, the Sword Saints chest but also shot a powerful and piercing beam of qi as a result of the sword. Once more, the same affect however, if a blade made contact with this attack, it would break that sword. Now standing in front of him he raised a brow as it seemed things had slowed, he chuckled, as immediately he followed up with whirling around and swinging diagonally horizontally sending a a powerful blade of yin-yang qi that was sharp and concise...*
Dennis
*As the man made it Infront of him, he side stepped with a parry, and turning the blade gliding his own down weis blade and head to weis throat his other 5 blades came down from all angles to swing into him from every angle, but he didn't expect the second one so he back stepped as his sword went forward and used two of them criss crossed to block his attack both swords broke he only had 4 left, as he sent a blade of yin yang he jumped to the side graceful and forward swinging his sword nearly a hundred thousand times from every angle as his brows furrowed he lost to many sword to do this trade of him blocking and losing a sword every angle left right, up and down at every vital organ of weis as he screamed in rage at wei feeling emboldened by Wei being slowed down.*
Valerie
*With each sword coming at him from different angles, he only smiled more, his eyes brimming with qi...**Equilibrium blossoming steps: Phasing Plum Blossom** *And with that, his body seemed to phase with 3 copies of himself, his qi trailed behind him as it seemed like the blades phased through him, when in reality he simply moved out of the way... With each swing did he continue to move and maneuver around them, summersaulting and gliding through the air with his movements. It was only then did he begin to use his sword to also redirect the flow of the blades away from him by using his sword to guide them away. It was as if he were dancing and frolicking around, only receiving cuts on his clothing*

"Ho ho ho, how fancy this is. But it's not hitting me though, ha ha ha"

*Eventually he swung his sword decisively, knocking the swords back, and lunging at him with great speed. **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Ethereal Illustrious Blade** *His sword which was overflowing with qi had calmed down... Though the sword's blade was now half black and half white... A brilliant and illustrious glow came from it, as his blade was now concentrated with pure qi, as result making his attacks all the more deadlier. In a swift motion, he swung his blade 3 times at the Sword Saint's chest, the qi beginning to encircle them* **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Ethereal Cyclone** *The qi around them began to turn sharp, Wei Wuxian too moved along with the direction of the cyclone. The qi sharpened and became razor like energy that attempted to shred the sword Saint to pieces, whilst simultaneously weaving his own sword strikes within... As a result, he progressively ascended up to the cyclone of qi until he was about 30 meters above the sword Saint. The sweetness coming from his qi and sword play was immaculate, enchanting those within the arena with its great smell*

"How're liking my sword play? Ha ha ha, isn't it so sweet?"
Dennis
*Gritted his teeth as he saw the man with three copies, the trail of qi he was being graceful, and he saw the mystical scene before him, as his blades missed there target with each swing, he watched every movement as he swung his sword seeing them guided away, he activated his ability. **Heavenly Sway**. *He swung his sword left and right then phantom blades of holy magic tore through the ground and rose towards wei as he swung his blade on his arm it appeared to be many blades phantom blades swinging in tandem with his own along with the other 4 swords that swung left and right. Soon he felt all his blade be smacked back with such force it sent the 4 blades flying into the sky*

*His own blade that stabbed forward was moved out the way it opened his guard, he felt weis blade, slice his chest three times blood splattered out and his clothing was cut, he fell down on his back and landed on his left hand and back flipped a dozen meters away onto his feet. Now seeing a cyclone of something he really didn't understand, coming towards him he stuck two fingers Infront of him*

`"Blessing Of the Heavens."`

*He glowed bright holy color, as his blade glowed a heavenly aura he rose his sword as the other 4 swords combined with the one giving it all there power and protection and a beam of holy magic came forth into the sky and onto the edge of the blade swinging down onto the cyclone the edge of the blade glowing brightly as he aimed to shatter the cyclone and weis movements within it.*
Valerie
*With the blades having come up at him, he laughed more, as he maneuvered, as his clothing progressively only became more and more cut up... As the swarming cyclone of ethereal blades came, the golden coating on the sword saint's blade took the full brunt, shredding down from all sides unceasingly... However, progressively the golden coatings seemed to dwindled under the pressure of his attack, eventually turning into mere particles before the actual blades took the brunt. Cracking and fracturing more and more, until the relentless cyclone disappeared. For a moment it was peaceful as it seemed like as if nothing were to come...*

"As the tree becomes in full bloom, only does its fragrance become true..."

*Now beginning to free fall he smiled brightly, as this Wei Wuxian was no longer shackled by his past, his fears, his traumas. Only but a phoenix who had risen from its ashes... A sense of brilliance came from him, one that would not be forgotten on this faithful day.*

"I will ask you this once as I may be too kind for my own good. Do... You... Yield.."

*Is what he asked, how the sword Saint responded would determine how he would act next*
Dennis
*Stuck in the center of the cyclone his 4 swords swinging in every direction as he was on the defensive, golden particles flying in every direction and golden sparks with each time the blade connected with the sharp cyclone of qi, but with each swing the golden coated got stripped until his blades were left then even they gave away shattering just in time for the cyclone to end he lunged up front he ground with his arm that became a sword faded he held his own sword in his palm as he came upon wei with killing intent as he twirled through the air aiming for wei's neck he was upon him in a blink of an ai*

`"I will not yield yo a filthy poser a person who cares for the weak, who bends backwards as the world fucks him like a gay dog. Why do I do what I do because I can because I like it I enjoy it, I enjoyed watching the life of the boy slip and his eyes roll back as he was taking his final breaths, I know who gave him that boost of unknown power it was you and if you hadn't he would be dead."`

*He stated as he felt the power behind the blades that slashed his chest open and the power from the boys hand they were similar and he never seen the boy use it before only logical deduction wei taught himself something about it his sword swung in 6 strikes towards Weis neck from under the arm up to his neck from his neck across his chest and 4 more with golden phantom blade appearing out of each swing to slice through his flesh*
Valerie
"To deduct such a thing is a good guess, however, the enlightenment of someone happens at any point in their life. Whether it be life, or death, or simply being beaten like a dog in front of 60,000 individuals whom despise your foul mouth and existence. I simply taught the boy the night before... You are but an entitled child who screams for attention... If it's attention, I'll give you the attention of my blade... And another note... It would be wasteful to use such a skill on you if it were one of mine"

*Wei Wuxian yelled, as the blade came at his neck, he narrowly dodged it with a small cut on his neck. Then soon came more attacks, each being deflected with his sword and sustaining more minor cuts and grazes... The man laughed more as this was truly all the sword Saint could offer... With the golden blades, he easily cut through them like butter in retaliation... It was time to stop playing games. Quickly, as one more attack came, he dove under narrowly and force himself into a position lower than the sword Saint mid-air* **Grand Formation: Sword Domain** *Clapping his hands together... The area around, included the arena was pulled into a strange world... With this casted now the skies were tinted with a deep blue, swords floated all around all illuminated almost like stars within the sky... This too also canceled out Divine Order Heavenly Order, as this space now belonged to Wei Wuxian... Soon his entire body was engulfed with black and white yin-yang qi...* **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art, 100th form: One Sword True Sword** *He immediately charged back towards the sword Saint in purpose as there was already minimal distance between the two. There he lowered his blade, then swung once suddenly like black ink touching paper, a large burst of yin-yang qi, accompanied by sword intent was concentrated into that one swing, faster than the eye could see as his speed was now returned to normal. If hit by this, the sword Saint wouldn't be killed, but would put him out of commission to fight as he put enough strength in purposely to leave him barely alive*
Dennis
`"Enlightenment means nothing if your dead I need no fucking attention who do you think your mouthing off to I'll show you how to speak to me the sword sword saint!"`

*He roared in anger, as he saw the golden phantom slashes be cut to pieces with little to no sweat, he saw saw Wei go underneath him he swung down but soon the area was filled with a different dimension he was floating in this realm, he couldn't touch the ground he had no way to move in this realm, he was stuck floating in his space, so he rose his sword up in defense he couldn't attack but he would defend rising his sword Infront of him, as he charged to him he swung to parry the sword, but his blade snapped in two he saw the pieces of his blade floating as if time had stopped and the blade would connect with his body as he felt this immense pain funnel throughout his entire body his hand slowly dropped to his sides as he coughed up blood with the attack he couldn't do anything everything happened to fast, could he have done this in the very beginning just blitz him and there was nothing he could do about it?*

`"Y... You... Were stronger... Al along..."`

*His blood stained teeth and lips moved as he floated in this world his sword falling from his palm but even if he lost here, he would remain a star he could come back if he did he would kill the boy first then Wei Wuixan all he needed was to live through this interaction.*
Valerie
*And with the final blow of the attack, the grand formation was released... The sword Saint gently fell down to the floor, as Wei Wuxian descended gracefully, slowly sheathing his sword as the qi slowly dispersed from his blade... Eventually standing over the sword Saint laying on the floor*

"You may be a sword Saint, but your realm is too far away to reach that of a Sword Immortal..."

*The Taoist said, his eyes looking down upon Vicarin*

"Like I said, it is better to be thought a fool, than be a fool. It is you whom underestimated me, any alike me have many cards, it is how we play them will determine our path... I will now take your right arm, any last words as a swordsman?"
Dennis
*Gritted his teeth with a pained laugh as he realized everything it made him angry, and vengeful, he was toyed with this entire time just playing with one's food he was nothing but step in this mans progress just like he stepped on those before him*

`"You are just like me in a sense, you cut me down to step forward your own goals and ambitions guiding you to crush me here today and you'll crush another and another and strip others of there dreams and aspirations just like I have."`

*He said as he felt like he had no energy to do anything else as he said he would take his right arm his face suddenly went white as a ghost as fear flooded every fiber of his being*

`"You wouldn't..."`
Valerie
"No, you may believe so, however, we are different in every sense. I lead a life that is meant to give, not take. My life is that of a Taoist Immortal, to do good and go with what life brings towards me. In the end, I will be the spark that ignites the hearts of others to pursue their dreams, not be crushed or belittled like you have. I will welcome the day when a challenger dethrones me"

*When Vicarin turned pale white, his face became cold... He raised his hand and sighed deeply*

"I put everything on the line and so have you. It is time to deliver upon such promise"

*Swinging his hand down, a sense of spiritual connection to that of the soul had been severed to his entire right arm... Wei Wuxian had severed part of his soul, disconnecting his arm's soul from his entire body... As a result too blocked off his right arm's meridians, rendering that arm now paralyzed. There was no pain, but a peaceful moment before his entire right arm went numb. Only Wei Wuxian was capable of reconnecting the severed pathway, not even magic would be able to repair or allow Vicarin to use it no longer*

"You are ungrateful for the talent and hard work you have put in to reach this state, it is on you for it leading to this point"
Dennis
`"To take my arm is to take my life without my sword without my arm my life means nothing I will no longer be a star I won't be able to fight don't do this the stars still need me you'll be making me a cripple!"`

*His face full of fear, he would rather die then lose his arm, losing his arm and his title would be a fate worse then death, as he tried to get away he felt his right arm going slowly numb he moved his left arm over to grab his arm as he looked at wei tears of anger forming in his eyes and of fear.*

`"You... Stole everything from me, I hate you without my arm I am nothing without my sword I am nothing you made all my efforts nothing."`

*He cried out in anger towards wei his face still pale and scared all the color of his skin nearly drained from his body as he couldn't process or speak anymore he was in to much shock to do anything else.*
Eve
*The narrator walked forward and proclaimed Wei Wuixan as the winner, even though he hadn't been knocked unconscious or yielded this was enough for the judges to conclude the match there would be no more fighting from the sword saint without his sword he was akin to being unconscious.*

`"Wei Wuxian has defeated the 5Th STAR AND TOOK HIS ARM!"`

*He proclaimed with a loud booming scream and the crowd went wild cheering and crying and clapping seeing Wei Wuixan in unison it shook the entire city the entire world!*
Valerie
*Lowering his hand he shook his head. His cane appearing in hand, looking down at the fallen sword Saint*

"Let it be a lesson to you before you forget yourself and use your own greed as justifiable means to crush their dreams and purpose. I may have been the one to rob you of your arm, however, you are the one who asked for this"

*Wei Wuxian sighed, turning back to the audience and crowd, he bowed deeply before everyone and stood back up smiling brightly. Towards the crowd*

"As the new 5th star, I will do my best to uphold the prestige and be a better representative than the predecessor before me"
Dennis
*Pants as he had one last trick a hail mary with wei's back turned to him he placed his hand on the ground coughing up blood*

`"You'll regret this, I swear it on my life."` 

*He said as he looked to the sky seeing day slowly turn to night a wall of infinity almost something came down separating wei and the sword saint tentacle like arms made of galaxies that were very thin and wrapped around his neck and arms and legs as it began to take him into the sky as he screamed in agony it was prison incantation, it made him feel any and almost all forms of pain every created without directly causing physical pain, an attack directly in the brain and nerves on the human mind, but the crowd would be to enthralled with the sky to see what was happening it seems the witch did not let go how he treated the boy*
Valerie
*The sky turning galaxy like and dark with its stars shining brighter than ever. He smiled and bowed once more, when Vicarin spoke once more, he turned, but noticed he was about to do something once more, however he was grabbed by tentacles and taken up to the sky. He sighed and shook his head as he assumed Vicarin wished to harm him...*

"Good day and life to you my predecessor"

*And with that, he bowed towards Vicarin and the crowd once more, before he made his ways to the stands of the 9 stars*
Adrian
*Jumped from the stands and landed not to far Infront of wei stopping his advance to the star stands, a loud boom hit the arena as it shook the entire stadium with a hand on the ground as he landed on one knee he rose slowly standing 9 feet tall he chuffed pointing his massive arm and hand towards wei wuixan a loud booming hoarse voice came out as he beat on his chest with sounds and shock waves breaking the sound barrier with each beat on his chest.*

`"Utarrr!! Utar!! The 4th star challenge!"`

*He yelled his people's tradition calling for a challenge as he stomped his left foot down then right foot, and beat his chest with one arm slowly picking out his great battle axe from his back and beating his chest with the hardened orc steel, his battle dance, was also one of respect for his opponent, acknowledging there great strength as a worthy opponent. He was to impatient after seeing the battle he needed to fight this man.*
Valerie
*The Taoist paused in his steps and turned towards the great Orc Warlord*

"Ha ha ha, so it seems you are holding me to my promise. I will happily accept Great War Chief"

*With that, he walked back to the center of the arena standing in front of the Orc warlord and cupped his hands together. Then walked several feet back and smiled as he put both his hands behind his back*

"I need not hold back as it would be a slap to the face to you great orc war chief. I will give you a taste of what the fallen star couldn't"

*He smiled and placed his Dao Weapon to his waist, however, he drew no weapon as it was time for him to use his true power as a Sword Immortal*
Adrian
*Had a grin of happiness a worthy opponent before him a fight for all the gods to see.*

`"Let God's be witness to battle! Orc will fight with honor and strength."`

*He stated his booming his voice filling the arena breathing slightly as his red eyes examined the smaller being before him no matter given the size he would not underestimate this warrior, he rose his two handed battle axe it required both hands to lift from its weight, given its size and his strength that would give an indicator to how power and heavy this blade was.*

`"Hahaha!! Chieftain won't hold back against warrior hahaha!"`

*He laughed heartily but soon the battle would begin as the narrator wasted no time in screaming let the battle begin! The chieftain would allow Wei Wuixan the first move, as he spun his battle axe in his hand green disgusting magic color formed around his own palms, this was not magic it was a different kind of power called the fell it operated outside the bounds of normal mana, his grey skin turned a darkish green as he planted his feet and waited for wei wuixans first move.*

`"Come now warrior show chieftain your strength!"`

*He wanted Wei to show him how strong he truly was*
Valerie
```"Ha ha ha, this humble taoist is honored to have such a battle. Prepare, ha ha ha"```

*With that he chuckled as this would surely be a fun battle, it was then there was a large fluctuation in qi, the yin-yang qi emanated from his body...* **1000 Returning Swords** *And soon, small glimmers came from within the air, as soon hundreds... Upon hundreds of yin-yang qi swords soon appeared out of thin air. Many stayed a float above the arena, while many appeared around at various heights around all pointed at the Orc Warlord*

```"This junior thanks this senior for allowing me the first move"```

*With that, he pointed down with his intended target... The Orc Warlord, soon 30 qi swords came homing down at the Orc Warlord as then, he used yet another skill in tandem* **One Sword: Returning Swords** *Soon, about 200 of those blades merged together, forming one large sword, as he came flying at him, aimed at his chest. It was only then did he draw his sword and prepared himself* **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Abosolute Domain** *This skill was different than most of his arsenal, as this was a skill for neigh impenetrable defense. If one would imagine, there is a circle around Wei Wuxian, about 10 feet in diameter whatever enters this bubble if it were an inanimate object it would be deflected or repelled away from him. However, if it were living, he this would allow for him immediate motion for defensive movements and or attacks*
Adrian
*Planted the pommel of the battle axe into the ground as he placed both hands on its length waiting he didnt have spells or incantation but the ones he did have were ridiculous in power, seeing the strange power rising and forming into hundreds of swords, he stood his ground, as they surrounded him, he was impressed as he saw all of them floating around him in the sky.*

*Soon he saw 30 of the sword coming down towards him finally raising his battle axe off the ground a green disgusting mist rose from the ground as the bladed formed into one massive sword he let out a laugh from his chest, he was an immovable object, the green mist rose Infront of him then into his body, as he would take the sword hit dead on letting it comes towards him body as he unleashed all his power he wanted to feel the power of the strike even if it cut through him or made him bleed he wanted to feel the strength of this warrior.*

*He swung his great battle axe cracking the grand qi sword and slammed it into the earth green mist released in all directions as he chuffed lunging forward toward wei he was in his circle in moments swinging his battle axe that collided with the domain he created he swung with all his might it shook the arena and kingdom below despite the magic that was placed to contain the fight in the area he aimed towards wei's shoulder with his great swing the green nasty looking mist would begin to corrode the domain like acid would metal although very slowly as Wei was extremely powerful in his qi, his blade bounced back and he swung again swinging with his foot and whole body*

`"Strong warrior! Hahaha! Clash blades with chieftain!!"`
Valerie
*As the swords came, the green energy gave it some resistance, then upon striking the orc warlord, half of them broke upon impact. However, some managed to give him cuts to his arms and torso, although one pierced through his left shoulder and the other pierced into his right upper thigh*

"Quite the iron body you have Great War Chief, ha ha ha"

*As he entered the bubble, he immediately moved out of the way, turning himself narrowly dodging the swing to his shoulder. He then swung his sword up diagonally at his chest, then another downward vertically at his chest once more. When the Orc War Chief moved back, it was then his sword changed colors... **Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Illustrious Ethereal Blade** *His sword, one half black, and the other white, he chuckled and thrusted thus releasing a small beam of concentrated qi infused with sword intent, aimed to pierce his left shoulder once more, then lunged towards him with 3 after images following behind him*
Adrian
*Felt the cuts coming across his body and two blacks piercing his flesh in his left shoulder and right thigh he laughed with happiness the joy of pain and of battle. As Wei dodged his swing he backed one steps his battle axe smacking against wei's sword as he blocking both hits, the green mist came forward towards wei as he saw the half black and white sword thrusting forward.

He roared and beat his chest with his battle axe turned to the side swinging his battle axe as it slipped out his hand he grabbed it by the bottom pommel and swung it in a wide attack as he swung with his whole body whilst side stepping to avoid his attacks but his axe would have the range to hit wei it flew towards his left side, he stepped forward right after pulling the pummel towards him hand it flew directly back into his hand, and he swung with one arm to the left right center shoulder, arm and chest to weis. Swinging this massive axe as if it was a paper weight, he would follow up with a quick step forward and shoulder bashing wei with his massive shoulder with veins bulging and muscles flexed it would be enough force to knock the wind out of wei and even send him flying off his feet and disorient him.*
Valerie
*With the green energy coming towards him, he paused for a moment and leapt back, however as the Orc swung his axe, he acted quick and jumped while tucking himself, side rolling in the air gracefully, although mid-air, the Orc caught him, barely managing to bring his sword up in time, thus swinging down at his shoulder, it dug in slightly into his shoulder, chuckling as this was certainly unforeseen... He felt the force and weight of the Orc's attack. Immediately after however, the orc came flying in to shoulder bash him, not quickly enough there whilst stuck under the weight of the attack. He got launched several feet flying, into the wall even. Coughing whilst he held his head for a moment*

"Ouch... That one actually hurt..."

*To prevent continued pursuit, Wei Wuxian acted quick and instinctively, using the swords suspended into the air to come home in at the Orc warlord once more. 100 swords now coming at the Orc lord, ready to follow his move.*
Adrian
*Felt his axe connect with Weis shoulder his tooth fanged mouth was closed and his face focused on the fight, soon his shoulder bashed the man, he took a breath and chuffed, swinging his battle axe in a circle he chuffed swinging it at the ground it cleaved chunks of the stadium into pieces with one hit it lifted the ground up and around them even his own place it would fill the sky with debris and rocks he lunged forward, any sword that didn't get slowed down at least by the large chunks of earth he swung his axe to shatter it, with great force his left fist began to suck up all the green mist in a spiral around his hand as it focused on the points of his knuckles and he throws the battle axe towards wei a green chain appearing at the back of the pommel and around his right arm the chain was anchored gave him 10 feet extra radius it would fly towards wei's face and chest granted the blade was literal almost the size of wei, he jumped forward with a lunge strengthening all his muscles to take any flying swords left behind and swung his fist down towards the earth wherever Wei moved to try and force his hand to set up this attack it aimed to crush wei's ribs and chest hid green eyes filled with lust for battle.*

`"Haha great warrior wounds burning! New scars for the gods!"`

*He proclaimed as the wounds he received began to bleed.*
Valerie
*As the swords flew making contact with the rubble, it were as if they had a mind of its own, cleaving through and cutting down the rocks to pieces before continuing its aim at the Orc Warlord. Soon swords were broken to pieces upons meeting the swings of the Orc Warlord, as he lunged forward with the swords still coming at him. About 9 more pierced through to his skin, however not deep enough for it to be considered fatal, nor did they pierce through to the otherside. The other swords seemed to shatter and break, however, leaving deeper cuts compared to before. The flying axe came, as he immediately snapped out of it, moving out of the way and striking the flat side of it to at least get it away from him. With his fist coming down* **Emotion Severing Divine Dao: Severing Connection** *It was this moment, when the fist came down at him, the blade was coated with a mysterious dark purple energy... The moment he thrusted upwards, he stabbed through the wrist of the Great Orc... Feeling the pressure from underneath, however, he moved forward as it cut about 3-4 inches farther, before taking the blade out of his arm. Though the Orc's arm, up to where the cut finished and entered, felt numb... Unable to put strength in it nor infuse the green energy within it... Peculiar... What property did the Emotion Severing Divine Dao have effect on?*

```"I will spare you no chance!"```

**Heavenly Ethereal Sword Art: Phantom Swallow** **Emotion Severing Divine Dao: Ruin of Emotion** *Whilst simultaneously using both skills, this is how it unfolded... Wei Wuxian began to look as if he were phasing with 3 copies behind him, appearing all over the place, suddenly zooming past the great Orc lord 4 times, a trail of black, white, and purple followed behind. One strike at his right arm aimed to render it useless for the match, his left thigh with the same intention as before, once more at his chest, and once at his back... Appearing above however, was the start of the emotion severing divine dao's might... As he prepared himself, a purple glint appeared within the overflowing yin-yang qi... Soon 100 sword attacks came flying down at the Orc warlord, aimed to overwhelm and to end this battle, as to draw it out would result for unlikely advantages... These attacks with purple mystical energy imbued into it, hissed and cut through the air with unpredictable and wild angles, Wei Wuxian displayed versatile and variable in attacks, looking elegant and graceful while following with his sword's movement... The effect... When cut by this divine dao... It ceases healing and collection of energy... As it is a result of an attack filled with no emotion, but true intent... Though reversable with time to rest depending on how drastic the damage or amount of power was used... Though for now, it would be up until the match had decided a victor...*

```"This I know will not end it, however, it will give me time to prepare!"```

*With that, multiple layers of shields appeared in front of Wei Wuxian, used to delay the Orc Lord's reach to him... As great fluctuation in qi and power caused the arena to shake vigorously... A great energy was beginning to gather within his palms... Only becoming greater as the sense of qi only became larger and denser...* **Fusing of Dao: Commence** *He would require about 30 seconds for this, as whatever remaining swords numbering around 200 left, came flying towards the Orc Warlord, not with the intent to damage him, but to now stall*
Adrian
*Felt the sword enter his hand and he flexed his muscles, with a grand laugh feeling all the sword pierce his flesh, and he smacked them out, with one hand as he felt wei sword travel to his wrist the cracking of bone and flesh separating with each inch it went deeper. As he hit the flat side of the great battle axe it only deviated it's course by a little bit. Seeing the purple mysterious energy shifting around, he planted both feet pulling with his right arm, the green mist transfered from his left arm to his right, and onto the chain and exploded in all directions, and running down the length to the battle axe, the battle axe was pulled back to slice through Wei as his arm had the sword in it.*

`"Give me your all mighty taoist!"`

*He yelled at him with a mighty roar, as the sword was pulled out his battle axe came flying towards wei's back he jumped back pulling the battle axe by the chain making it a blurr even for wei as the green mist came out in all directions it would turn violent and attack everything ad if it had a mind of it's own and became slightly solid like moving liquid barrier. **Fel Expansion**. 

*The green mist would stop all of his attacks as it would be tanked by the now solid like liquid mist, pulling the chain to the battle axe he swung it in a circle once then twice spreading the green mist everywhere if it came in contact with weis clothing or skin it would began to burn and cause slight deterioration. As he appeared above him he looked up at him his teeth grinding his left arm was useless so he remained more careful, as the 100 swords began to come down the green mist lifted off the ground and rose into a bubble around him. As his axe returned to his right hand he steadied his feet and let it drop and began to spin it with the chain it started off slow as he laughed and then it began to pick up speed once it started spinning rapidly he swung it in every direction a thousand to ten thousand strikes almost in every second*

*Stopping all his sword as he walked forward like a wood chipper with his battle axe ripping apart the earth as he walked towards Weis barriers the battle axe swinging with all his might and wildly in almost every direction he turned around pulling the axe in a spin by the chain swinging it overhead from either side he looked to the sky as his red eyes began to turn green as the disgusting green mist came upon his eyes.*

`"I pray to the gods gods of fel bring heaven to earth!"`

*The sky itself seemed to slowly begining to fall, it's effect was to bring the weight of the heavens down onto the enemy, it would suck the oxygen out of the arena and cause extreme pressure every second it got closer it could crush even the orc if not focused on it was also as sharp as his battle axe to leave cuts all across the body this was his ultimate ability.*
Arthur
It won't kill everyone it only affects the arena that they are fighting in. The affect lasts only 3 minutes I should have specified if you hold your breath long enough you'll be fine so that can be negated through just simply holding your breath, the weight of the heavens would be enough to even bring the orc down his knees if it isn't focused on to try and stop it, so I don't know exactly how heavy it would be but it's definitely possible to hold it up for Wei.
Valerie
*By the time he pulled the Axe back to cleave him in half, Wei Wuxian had already left that spot, evading the explosions and attack from behind. The Fel Expansion too was useless against Wei Wuxian in the sense that, he was already gone by then for him to have activated such abilities. 2 of the attacks from phantom swallow managed to get by, though giving about an inch or two deep with its cuts... Only about 5 more swords made it past his defensive measures, one in his right shoulder now, 2 on his right arm, and 2 in his left leg... However with him now coming towards, chipping away at his barriers... Progressively one shattering after another, then the weight of the heavens coming down upon him... He sighed soon, holding his breath in and another pair of 2 arms appears as they began to weave mystical hand symbols, as he looked to the sky and shook his head.* **Ultimate Grand Array: Heaven Defying Buddha Hold's the Heavens...** *Soon, a single large circle appeared... Mystical symbols around it, then suddenly a giant golden palm extended out, holding up the sky as the immense qi and fluctuation around caused the arena to shake even more... And soon the barrier whittled down to 3...2...*

```"The Dao is one in all, unseeing and unknowingly... We follow its path... To bring together in harmony... Fusing... Of...100 Divine Daos..."```

*Soon ripples of qi erupted from the orb of divine daos in his hands... As now it was ready... With the assistance of the extra set of hands, he was able to activate necessary measures to use this... Upon unleashing its power, a wave of 100 Daos came together, swirling all at the Orc, no escape, only to defend or take it's full brunt... However, the amount of Divine Dao's he used were minimzed as to not kill the orc War Lord, thus taking the full brunt of this skill wouldn't kill him in his current condition. Only as much as to finish this fight*
Adrian
*Felt the slice of the phantom blade on his thigh and shoulder, he chuffed as he went down on one knee, as he pulled the axe to his palm, soon he placed the bottom of the pummel, on the ground his right arm holding onto the length, of the weapon, as he watched mystical symbols appearing then a giant gold palm holding the heavens he felt a sense of happiness fill him as the weight of the heavens would push down with the two powers colliding immensely it was ripping the arena apart down to the bottom of the stadium as it shattered all the magical spells to contain magic and mana it couldn't contain this. Seeing Wei speak his green eyes watched Wei, as water like ripples of came from the taoist hands, seeing the swirling magic around him he thought in his head, raising the axe up to use another ability but he extended his arm out to the right with the axe and slowly rose standing tall with a smile.*

`"The war chief yields to the mighty taoist. He acknowledge strength."`

*He stated as he slowly knelt down on one knee to acknowledge wei was stronger could be have done another ability perhaps but would it be effective he didn't think so, he was outclassed in terms of abilities and skill and wouldn't cause himself further harm and turn a friendly match to a fight to the death of it continued where he still could lose just forcing the taoist hand to keep going so he decided to yield. He had also lost to much blood from his left wrist and it wasn't stopping so he was on a timer along with sword wounds all over his body.*

`"Mighty taoist."`
Valerie
*As the Daos came swirling towards him, Wei Wuxian saw that the Great Orc Warlord had yielded... With that, he clapped his hands together, causing the Daos to collapse in on each other, raising his hands, made the daos ascend up to the sky, then explode with great mystifying colors, making an image of a golden dragon soar through the air... Wei Wuxian then slowly descended down towards the Orc Warlord, breathing heavily. Arriving in front of him, he bowed his head lightly towards him*

```"This juniors thanks this Senior for such a lesson. I'm afraid, this junior will have no choice but to accept this win today, ha ha ha"```
Adrian
*Watched the mystical effects in the sky and then the golden dragon sparing into the sky he rose his head as being on his knees was akin to being wei's height level roughly.*


`"Humble indeed, taoist win honorable ways!"`

*He proclaimed as he slowly rose from his position he looked at wei and pointed to the crowd chanting weis name every orc in the stands thousands had kneeled to recognize wei as to defeat the war chief he is to deserver the most respect as the strong rule in orc lands and the weak do not.*

`"You may win here, but let us drink and see who win there."`

*He laughed as he slowly rose his battle axe and placed it on his back with a smile he slapped weis back with his big right hand it was supposed to be a pat but he couldn't control it.*
Eve
*The narrator ran out as the crowd was screaming in disbelief and at the mystical sights there was happiness all around even the orc people who rooted for there war chief wasn't sad typically the group that losses would be sad and crying but not the orcs it was a honorable and fair match up, he went up to Wei with his magic and spoke to the crowd.*

`"We... We... Have a new 4th star!!! The orc war chief has yielded to the self proclaimed humble taoist, what do you have to say Wei Wuixan what are the words you want to tell the world of warriors around you? Any words of victory?"`

*Flags of every nation began to rise slowly as ribbons were being shot into the sky with fireworks to signal the end of this bout!*
Valerie
*Wei Wuxian smiled, seeing the great Orc stand toppling over him. As to being slapped on the back, he coughed as he laughed with it too*

```"I may not have drank that night, but I am second to none when it comes to drinking, ha ha ha"```

*The man turned towards ther crwod once more and bowed deeply all around him. To the orcs especially, he rose his fist and smiled towards them, as he too recognized the strength of the orcs. Although he may have understood they were strong already, he must give respect to the warriors of the leader whom they follow*

```"This taoist has nothing but great appreciation for today's chance, I've learned new things and possibilities that have expanded my horizon. I encourage the warriors today, not to look down, but to keep their head up as one day they may rise to the position to challenge one of the 9 stars. Thus this taoist encourage's all with his whole heart to follow your dreams and do the best you can. Today's victory as a result of hardwork and having the support of those whom you love, bring you up. I dedicate my victory to my Dear Lady Senia, family, and teachers. I thank the kingdom of Sicarlus for having welcome me to the tournament today, I hope my performance today was not disappointing"```
