Episode 17

They charged toward each other. Dominic swung his left dagger toward Neiji skull. Neiji swung his sword to clash with his dagger. They begin to have a power struggle with the weapons. "You won't be able to defeat me. You're just a unpure breed. Your power can't come close to the elite power of a full breed." "Anyone can be defeated by anyone. Don't let my unpure blood fool you. I'm actually much stronger." Dominic sung his right dagger toward Neiji jaw. Neiji covered his right hand with flames. He caught Dominic's blade with his flaming right hand. They begin to struggle even more. But soon Neiji headbutt Dominic in his skull. Dominic begins to stagger backwards. But he regained his composure after a couple of steps. He looked at Neiji. Soon he blinked and when he open his eyes Neiji was gone. His eyes begins to wonder around the room for Neiji. He quickly turned to his right and formed a x with his daggers at his chest. He manage to block Neiji swipe at his chest. But the impact had him sliding backwards a foot away.

They both swung a mighty attack at each other. When the attacks collided more fire and ice swirled around the room. Neiji then kicked Dominic in his gut. Dominic bent down some and wrapped his right arm around his stomach. Neiji begin to do a downward vertical slash at Dominic skull. But he rolled backwards barely dodging the attack. When he recovered from the roll. He saw a fireball coming toward him. He smacked the fireball up into the air with his right hand. While he was recovering he turned his head to as far to the left as he can. He saw Neiji behind him. Neiji sliced him across his abdomen. But thier was no blood that came from Dominic. Soon his body turned into ice and shattered. Neiji quickly turned around. Dominic punched him in his jaw sending him rolling backwards. Neiji quickly stopped himself before he reached the edge of the platform. He quickly got back up. A streak of blood came from his mouth. Neiji wiped the blood off. "So you can create clones of yourself with your ice. It was clever. But I figured out the weakness. If I was you I wouldn't do it again."

Dominic hopped some. Then he soon disappeared. Neiji turned behind him and slashed his sword. He soon disappeared. The figure he slashed was another ice clone. Soon Dominic landed on his back hard on the platform. Soon fire rings appeared his wrists and ankles. He tried to lift his wrists up. But he felt a incredible burning pain. Soon Neiji fell onto Dominic with his knee pinned into his stomach. Dominic let out a loud scream. Neiji got off of him. He stared into Dominic face. "I told you that I found a weakness into that skill. But you still used it. In a fight like this you can't afford to make mistakes." Neiji stomped on his chest three times. "I expected more from you." Dominic begins to laugh. "What's so funny?" "You letting your guard down." Neiji grew wide. He turned around. A ice clone punched him in the stomach. The ice clone shattered after the hit. Dominic concentrated his spiritual pressure and a icy aura surrounded him. The icy aura disperse the flames around his wrists and ankles. Dominic quickly got up and uppercutted Neiji in the jaw. Neiji staggered backwards.

Dominic did a charging horizontal slash toward Neiji chest. Neiji launched his hads to the side and released a blast of spiritual energy. The spiritual blast blow Dominic away. Dominic was about to fall over the platform. But he quickly grabbed onto the ledge. He pulled himself up. He looked under him and saw a red circle hexagram under him. He quickly dived forward. A pillar of flames appeared from the hexagram. Dominic looked in front of him and saw five flaming arrows heading his way. He used his daggers to deflect the arrows. When he deflected the last one he saw Neiji five feet from his face. Flames surrounded Neiji sword. He did a quick full power horizontal slash. But Dominic manage to duck under the attack. Neiji jumped past him. When Neiji landed back onto the platform he turned around. He saw eight ice spikes headed to him. He dodged every ice spike. Dominic had Revolt Stepped in his face. They both begin to trade multiple blows at each other with thier weapons.

All thier attacks clashed with each other. After each clash more fire and ice begins to head to different directions of the arena. When the fire or ice hits the building it destroys a piece of the building. "This is crazy. They going to detroy this place" screamed Youchi. "Let them be. This been the best entertainment I've seen in a while." "So you want your arena to get destroyed" said Youchi. "It can always be rebuilded. You're not afraid of the damage of the building. You can feel the amount of spiritual energy these two are dealing out. They are surely elite class demon slayers. And they are fit to become rivals." "What do you mean by that" asked Youchi. "Win or lose I know the fate of that boy. He doesn't need to be executed. He proved to me that he's a worthy Demon Slayer. He's able to match my son level of training in less than a month. That is outstanding." Youchi gave a slight smile. "So will you let him help us in this upcoming fight?" "Of course....that is if he's willing to." "Of course he will." Ilux walked up in front of him. "I'll make sure he will. If it'll make him stronger he'll do it." "Very well. Go get some medics. Cause at the end of this these two going to need it. They been releasing to much spiritual pressure. They was so worried to get a upper hand over the other they didn't think about rationing it."

"Okay, I'll go get some medics." Ilux Revolt Step out of the building. "Girl, what you're witnessing is the ones who might become the next guardians of the Demon Slayers." Youchi gulp at how impressive thier spiritual power is. "If they become the next guardians the Demon Slayers race will be safe." Dominic and Neiji clashed thier weapons with a full power spiritual attack. There was a bright flash. After the flash disperse after a minute and a half. Dominic and Neiji was still collding attacks. They both jumped a couple of feet from each other. They begin to breathe very heavily. Both cloths was getting torn about by getting hit with the opposing spiritual essence while they was clashing. "This is kinda fun. I never been pushed this hard yet." "Don't get comfortable. Cause this is going to be your last fight." Dominic gave a faint laugh. "I don't think so. I haven't shown my best technique yet." "I haven't either. But I guess it's time to use it. I can't believe I have to use it against a reject like you." A red flaming aura swirled around Neiji. A blue icy aura swirled around Dominic. When the aura of the two touchs each other sparks begin to emerge. They then charged toward each other.
