"Whatever." Ereg waved his hand with a calm expression, "Just don\'t interfere in our fight anymore. I want it to end the way it started. Just me and Gael, no one else."

Alucard smirked, "Don\'t worry. The situation with Nila was an exception, I have no reason to interfere with you in any way. However, you forgot about something that is still with you in the same arena."

"Argh...?" Ereg\'s eyes went wide.

Alucard pointed forward, and Ereg turned with a confused expression. To his surprise, Kraken was still alive, even though Nila had used her most powerful attack against the monster.

"Oh... There\'s no way I could have expected this... That bastard is more tenacious than I thought. Although..." Ereg muttered, and glanced at Nila, lying on the ground. She had a happy smile on her face, even though she had been through a dangerous ordeal and might even have died. 

Crackle. Crackle. Crack.

The halves of the Kraken\'s body were quickly joined together by dense clots of darkness. Nila\'s light blade did powerful damage to the monster, however, it wasn\'t enough to kill someone so powerful in a single attack.

"Yeah. She only moved to the Transcendence Stage, so even considering she used the attribute of light, she couldn\'t kill one of the most dangerous creatures in the open." Alucard uttered, rubbing his chin with a sly smile.

His gaze was directed at the Kraken\'s wounded tentacles since dark blood, not unlike the blood of other creatures, was pouring from the open wounds.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Ereg turned into a fiery flash as he found himself directly in front of Kraken. This time Ereg\'s gaze was much more serious than before. He wasn\'t going to use his full strength to defeat such an opponent, but the power hidden in his fist made space warp.

"I don\'t know what else you\'re capable of, but I\'m sick of it. You\'ve been interfering for too long with the fight I\'ve been waiting for." Ereg uttered with a cold stare as his fist lit up with black flames with a massive plume behind it.

It looked like a dark comet crashing down at great speed on the Kraken who was trying to recover.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!" Kraken roared furiously realizing that this attack could destroy him, so he had to use everything he had to stay alive.

The Kraken\'s many eyes on its head and tentacles shone brightly with purple light, painting the world gray.

Even Ereg and Gael, with their crushing power, were quickly turned to stone, as was everything around them.

However, the colosseum\'s barrier, was able to absorb this power, protecting the spectators and casting the purple light into the open space.

"What...? What happened...?" Someone from Beastfolks muttered in disbelief.

"Oh... That\'s interesting." Liang glanced at Kraken and Ereg, "Even though it turned into a rock and is in the air, it doesn\'t fall. How does that work?"

"Don\'t you see?" Nitra pointed to the streams of flame coming from Ereg\'s fist. Like everything inside the arena, they didn\'t move, as if they were frozen.

"Kraken didn\'t turn them to stone, he did much more than that. I don\'t know how, but the light from those eyes stopped time, completely." Nitra explained with a serious look, "Damn... I wish I could research that monster, that unique ability."

Hearing this Alucard smiled again, a devious plan had been brewing in his mind that only he knew about. Although, some onlookers had guessed it, not the ones in this place back then.

"Well, well, it looks like the fate of this Kraken won\'t be as simple as we all think." Wain shook his head, with a bitter smile.

"Hmm?" Sven gave him a questioning look.

Wain shrugged, "I could be wrong, but I know Alucard well enough to know what he\'s roughly thinking by the look on his face. His smirks are multifaceted, you know."

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Despite the Kraken\'s best efforts, he couldn\'t keep Ereg and Gael in this state for long. Soon enough, cracks began to spread across their bodies, as stone shells broke off in chunks.

"Argh... That was unexpected, but it won\'t help you!" Ereg exclaimed as he clenched his fist tightly and tensed his muscles, completely shattering the stone cover restraining his body.

The Kraken\'s pupils narrowed and his actual tentacles came into motion. He needed this brief pause to regain some strength, though Kraken wouldn\'t be able to use his special skill for quite some time.

The tips of the tentacles glowed brightly, leaving purple lines in space that together formed a massive magic circle. It was very complex with several levels and all Kraken could do in a few seconds.

At the same moment, Ereg\'s fist came down right in the center of the magic circle, directing all its power at this protective barrier.

The runes on the magic circle shone brightly, one by one as if testing how much energy it could absorb before breaking.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

To Ereg\'s surprise, Kraken\'s dark tentacles surged forward, penetrating through the magic circle from the other side and destroying it.

Then, cracks went down the magic circle as it exploded, releasing all the absorbed energy outward.

"Fuck." Ereg\'s eyes went wide when he realized what was about to happen. His face was covered in light, then his entire silhouette was covered in black flames, aggressively attacking its owner.

Gael watching the fight nodded slightly. He decided not to interfere in the fight for now, as he wanted to let Ereg avenge Nila. Though she was still alive, Kraken had seriously injured her, and Ereg, as the King, couldn\'t just let it go. 

\'Not bad... This monster has such dangerous and rare abilities. I didn\'t have a chance to find out last time. Two kinds of tentacles, impressive regeneration, time stopping, and magic circles reflecting damage back into the enemy. That\'s a decent list.\'\' Gael muttered internally, assessing the Kraken.

Tap.

Ereg fell to the ground, the powerful pulse causing the ground beneath him to break, raising a cloud of dust. However, in a heartbeat, Ereg rose up, with a sweep of his arm, clearing all the dust out of his path.

"Gael... It\'s time to destroy that bastard." Ereg said seriously as another medium rune appeared in his eye, and a creepy ghost revealed itself behind him for a moment.

"Sure. Looks like we\'ve moved on to the next stage sooner than expected, but this is fine. I\'m ready to do this." Gael said calmly as small scars appeared on his body.

In his life, Gael had gotten much more serious scars, but these ones were bigger than the tiny ones that covered his body before.

Then, their fists flashed with powerful fire, causing the air to ripple and space to shake.

Step.

Gael and Ereg stepped forward simultaneously, as the ground beneath them cracked, and they headed towards Kraken at high speed.

Kraken\'s eyes moved chaotically in different directions, trying to see the weakness in Ereg and Gael\'s actions, but all was to no avail.

Everyone realized that this was the end for Kraken, and not even the strongest barrier would be able to protect him.

"Damn, it\'s a shame he showed up at a time like this." Nitra shook her head with a sad look, "We\'re losing such a valuable specimen, but there\'s nothing we can do about it. Alucard, what do you think?"

Nitra turned around, but, there was no one beside Nila, Alucard had simply disappeared.

"Agh...?"

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, ahead of the black and white flash, swept the crimson one with powerful bloody streams behind it.

"What the hell...?" Ereg\'s eyes went wide as Alucard appeared in front of him, his back turned.

Alucard was quickly in front of the Kraken\'s main eye and smirked, "Hey, I\'ve always wanted an unusual pet. What do you say?"

Without waiting for an answer or for Gael and Ereg\'s attacks to reach the Kraken, Alucard rushed forward, grabbing tightly onto one of the monster\'s main tentacles.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Gael and Ereg\'s fists came down, but all the energy went nowhere, all they accomplished was to shake the air and create two powerful streams of flame capable of burning everything in their path.

Alucard turned around, continuing to drag Kraken behind him, who was more puzzled than anyone else. 

Even before the deadly situation, Kraken looked formidable and majestic, since he is one of the strongest in the open. However, now he looked like a lost kitten not knowing what to do or what was even going on.

"Damn... Those flames are very powerful. They actually attacked in earnest." Alucard uttered, looking at the way the skin on his hands was burning, even though the flames were very far away. 

The same thing was happening to the dark tentacles that were quickly disappearing under the immense temperature of the two kinds of fire.

Alucard sighed, "Well, it looks like I will have to save you once again. I suggest you don\'t refuse my offer, otherwise, this fire will seem like a hot spring compared to what I\'ll do to you."

Kraken flinched, at Alucard\'s menacing stare that would have frightened anyone.
