Chapter 144: Theos Vs Camila [III]
Most of my problems are solved, I just hope my father's health improves, so this will be the last time I do this. The previous chapter is edited, so it's not a repeated chapter, I hope you'll forgive me.
Thank you very much for reading! :')

*Boom*
Theos' aura exploded, being an ability quite similar to what King Ezreal did back in the day.
Camila could only watch as the crimson light covered her entire body, receiving the blast squarely.
The entire Underworld turned into a crimson Radiance...
After a few seconds, the crimson Light slowly diminished until everything returned to normal.
"Ha...," Theos gasped, a little tired.
He had performed many skills altogether: Underworld, the dark hands of the Underworld, and finally, a new skill, the Crimson Bomb.
'The system hasn't notified me anything, that means I don't have enough mastery with the skill,' he thought regretfully.
Looking ahead, he found Camilla in the same place; most of her body was completely burned, and even in some parts, you could see the bone in her flesh.
Her clothes had also been completely burned, leaving her body naked.
Seeing her in that state, Theos regretted it a little, thinking that he should have used less strength. 'In the current state, it's a miracle she's still standing,' he thought.
'Getting aroused? No, he wouldn't get aroused by a burned and charred body, no matter how sexy it had been before.
In his mind, Theos already thought he had won the battle; after all, who would go on with those brutal wounds? Only in the later stages of the Novel Camilla would be able to withstand such damage without complaint.
However, now she is only an inexperienced young woman.
As she approached Camila, standing without looking at anything fixed, Theos thought of helping her to take her to the Academy's infirmary.
*Swosh*
But from one second to the next, Camila's figure disappeared completely.
As did Theos' right arm...
"Huh?" he grunted with confusion reflected on his face.
He didn't feel any pain, however, he did manage to feel the absence of something in his body, as if something was missing.
Turning to his right, he saw his arm, the healthy and sound arm that was there before had been cut off and ripped off; it hadn't even looked like it was a cut or anything like that; if not for the first place, it would never have existed there...
"I didn't know this battle would come to this point," he muttered with a grin.
"At least you don't have your entire body burned and completely naked for others to see," he grumbled once it echoed throughout the Underworld.
Turning to his back, Theos caught sight of Camilla...
Below her, on the floor, Theos' arm could be seen, completely normal and fine, not even a bit of blood coming out.
Where his arm used to be, it wasn't expelling blood either....
"What have you done to me?" he asked, looking directly into Camilla's eyes.
With an expression more cold than indifferent, she replied. "I only cut your arm with my sword that can cut everything; however, to avoid weird tricks, I performed a spell of my sword, Divine Miracle, to block any short-term recovery."
With this explanation, Theos nodded; I understood what she meant. With his Vampiric race, he could regenerate little by little. Since she didn't want to take any risks, she blocked any recovery in that area.
'Truly clever,' he thought, this time clutching the Death Fragment in his left hand.
Now that they are facing each other, fighting is not an option, but an obligation.
The two said nothing, their looks said everything they wanted to achieve: Victory.
They disappeared from their places, clashing continuously in a scene of fierce and determined fighting.
Swords clashed continuously. Compared to their previous states, their attacks were less strong and became slower, in the case of Camila, for being almost completely burned, and in the case of Theos, for being left without an arm.
The balance of the body being left without an arm is quite noticeable, and Theos had not gotten used to that imbalance, so his speed decreased drastically.
'I can't cut his sword...', Camilla concluded as she tried again and again to cut Theos' Death Fragment.
He had tried many times by attaching Mana to his sword, however, as the swords clashed, he could not cut Theos' sword.
Isn't his sword capable of cutting everything if you add Mana?
Even the Divine Miracle could not cut Theos' sword.
And, the more the battle progressed, Theos' attacks became stronger and stronger and his speed increased considerably.
'He's getting used to it,' she thought, panicking a little.
She could only think of one way to win... End the battle here and now.
There was no other way but to defeat Theos now, because if the battle dragged on, she was going to receive a crushing defeat.
And she didn't want that.
"Let's get this over with," she declared, the Mana in her body growing more intense until it transformed into a thick aura.
Theos also listened to her statement, augmenting and fusing his two mana: Death Mana and negative mana.
'It's the first time I've done something like this,' he thought with an amused and excited smile, but his eyes showed his great coolness when it came to clashing swords.
They clashed swords again, creating a shockwave that shook the entire Underworld.
The two bounced, taking a considerable distance, Camila advanced again, the aura of her body covering the pair of swords in her hands.
"Eh?" he gasped, surprised to see movement from Camila.
She had thrown her two swords towards him.
And from her mouth, she began to charge a powerful Dragon breath.
That was her all-or-nothing attack, and Theos understood this perfectly.
"I'll go all or nothing then too," he declared, covering the Death Shard with his Death Mana and negative Mana.
He threw the sword as if it were a spear.
Not caring in the least about the clash of the thrown swords, Theos began to make one last offensive: the Underworld Blast.
Something similar, but not similar to what he used against the Holy Dragon.
Clasping his hands together, Theos brought his two palms together as if he were crushing the void between them.
*Trembling
The Underworld itself began to tremble, pooling in Theos' palm.
Little by little, each particle of the Underworld accumulated in Theos' palms. For each passing millisecond, the speed at which the particles traveled became faster and faster until they reached a point where, by sheer speed, they were barely visible.
*Boom!
The swords collided, creating violent shock waves that shook the entire Underworld.
However, Theos and Camilla were focused.
'Let's see if you can handle this,' Camila thought in her mind, thus casting her Dragon Breath.
'Imperial Dragon's Breath,' Theos recalled, seeing the great energy that Camila had cast and was heading towards him.
'Well, let's try this then,' he muttered, releasing the full power of the Underworld.
The Underworld Lightning...
*Boom*
As the two swords clashed, the two attacks, Imperial Dragon's Breath and Underworld Lightning collided, creating not only a shockwave but a collision that shook and created holes in the surface of the Underworld.
With his hand outstretched, Theos kept sending dark particles at the Underworld Ray.
As he is using the same particles of the Underworld, the latter is consumed, slowly fading away.
"..." With a rigid face, Camilla did not stand with her arms crossed, just watching.
Using as much Aura as possible, Camila continuously launched various waves of Mana in all forms: spears, swords, kunai, anything, and everything possible.
The two were quite hesitant as to who could win or not, both in their energy duel and in the swords.
Despite being two swords against only one, logically the Death Shard would lose under normal circumstances.
However, the Death Fragment is not only empowered by the Underworld but by the Negative energy Theos gave it.
"..."
"..."
The two didn't say anything, in which case, they had already given their all; they could only wait for the result.
*Boom*
And so, with one last effort the Underworld exploded, causing a huge explosion that sent both Theos and Camilla flying.
The winner was unknown to the world...
"What the hell happened?"
"Who won?"
"Everything exploded..."
The spectators grew nervous, watching as neither Gladiator was in sight.
However, fate had possibly chosen the winner...
