George looked at Ekrev, and he approached him. The height different was immense, Ekrev could barely reach George's waist. "Hm? Puny boy, George expect much bigger. But George not refuse any challenge." He said, he would then proceed to start the fight with a double axe handle and swing his arms down at Ekrev, in hopes of crushing him.

Ekrev would roll off to the side as his powerful blow struck downwards. Whoa, this guy is intense! At the very start of the battle, Ekrev would fire a Mystletainn Wave to George's side.

"Huh?" George turned to the side and he saw a ki blast heading towards his way. "HAARGH!" He yelled, his muscles began bulging more, and he extended both of his arms. The attack hit him, but instead of exploding, it started to push him. "Fancy tricks George no like!" He grit his teeth and began closing his arms, as if he was hugging the attack. After a few seconds, he completely closed his arms and the attack collapsed into itself, becoming thin air.

"Hm. George fight many sorcerers like puny boy, but George always beat them!" He then began rushing, a small tremor felt each step he took. "HAAAARGH!" He yelled as he pulled back his arm, and attempt to gut punch Ekrev.

"A-Ah crap!" Ekrev exclaimed. He'd then get slammed backwards by the punch and breathe heavily shortly afterwards. Again?! Ugh, I need to figure out a new tactic for this guy. But what? Ekrev charged George and appeared to his side ready to make a move.

George reacted to him and turned to his side, he saw Ekrev readying himself. However, George would not wait and dashed towards him, extending both his arms. He would attempt to grab Ekrev and bearhug him.

George would however be grabbing thin air as Ekrev used the afterimage technique. Instead, Ekrev would appear in the air and throw a kick at George's head.

George would be kicked in the head, and he skidded a bit to the side. However, he began scratching his head. "Hm? Puny boy kicks like little girl. George no feel that."

"...He's as dumb as he's strong and durable. I don't think Ekrev stands a chance here," Grimm said. "He's too tired."

George then clapped both of his hands towards Ekrev, a shockwave emanating, it attempted to knock Ekrev out of bounds.

Ekrev was knocked backwards by the shockwave, but he stopped himself midair.

"I'm not losing until I've given it all I've got!" Ekrev exclaimed. He then began throwing his palms forward over and over again.

"Huh, a new technique?" Leif said.

"Mystletainn Push Barrage!!!" He sent several ripplingly powerful kiais forward at George.

George was pushed by the kiais, confused as to what was happening. He was nearing the edge of the arena.

"Looks like Ekrev might win this," Grimm said. However, he spoke too soon. "UAAARGH!" George screamed, and he stomped the ground with both his feet, making holes and firmly planting himself. He then guarded himself using his arms. He would not budge an inch from where he stood, and he waited until the kiais ended. After it did, he would get both his legs out and slowly approach Ekrev, and if nothing was done, grab his entire body and throw him away.

Ekrev was then thrown backwards, plunging into the water.

"Well, it is a hot day," Ekrev commented. He then swam back to the edge and stood by the others. "Sorry I didn't win guys."

"Don't worry about it Ekrev," Leif replied. "You did well. Now, I'll win the next two fights." Leif stepped onto the ring and prepared himself.

"Begin!" Baba yelled.

"Uragh!" George wasted no instant as he began dashing towards Leif, he started the fight by attempting to crush Leif by using the palm of his hand.

"Heh, let's see what you've got then," Leif said. Leif's arm began to glow golden as he intended to meet the giant head on.

"What in the world is that?!" Ekrev exclaimed.

"Light Brand Blow!!!" Leif flung his powerful fist at George's palm.

"Huh?!" George was hit in the palm and sent flying through the air, flipping as he did so. Eventually, he crashed down on the ground, still in the arena, but he left a dent and an earthquake happened as he collided.

"...Yeah, the caveman isn't going to stand much of a chance here. That's the big 3's monstrous strength for you." Grimm noted.

"C-Cheap trick!" George got up, and he once again began dashing towards Leif. He then leapt in the air, and attempted to squash Leif as he went for a full body slam.

"Hmph, come at me!" Leif yelled. He'd roll forward and while George was still in the air, he fired his Gáe Bolg Wave at him, hoping to blast the giant into the water.

"I can't help but notice Arvis has actually made this world a better place," Ares said, as he sat in a hotel room. "I share many of his ideals, I don't even disagree with much of what he's done. But he made one mistake, he caused my father's death! For that, I cannot forgive him."

. . .

Seliph trained in solitude at Yunzabit Heights.

"Arvis!" Seliph yelled through punches. "I will defeat you, I swear it! Mother, sister . . . I'll save both of you!"

Without any sort of resistance and before he knew it, George found himself swimming in the waters.

"Huuuh?" He uttered.

"Well, good job, Leif," Grimm said. "Now only one more fighter before the grandma loses."
