Episode 18

They both a mighty slash at each other. Thier attacks collided with each other creating a explosion of fire and ice. The explosion sent both of them rolling across the platform to the edge. They quickly grabbed hold of the edge and weakly pulled themself up. Neiji stood up straight while Dominic was on his right knee. Neiji held his right arm at a forty five degree angle. Flames soon covered this arm. He charged toward Dominic. Dominic stood back up and ice covered his left arm. He charged toward Neiji. When they was in strike range they both launched thier elemental attacks. Thier arms collided and begin to have a power struggle. A minute in the power struggle Dominic begins to realize his ice was starting to melt. He quickly moved his hand out the power struggle. He then dashed backwards. His ice shattered from his arm. "You should know that your ice is weak against fire." Neiji launched his flaming arm forward and a wave of fire headed toward Dominic. Dominic lifted his right arm up. A wall of ice about his height rose from the ground.

The fire wave collided with the ice wall. The ice wall begin to melt little by little. Neiji gave a smirk. Then he sensed something. He saw a ice spike curve around the wall and headed to him with alot of speed and force. He quickly stopped his attack and barely jumped back to dodge the ice spike. As soon as he landed Dominic was behind him and put him in a double arm bar. Neiji begin to struggle to get out of the hold. But Dominic would only put the hold in tighter. Soon Neiji headbutted Dominic twice. Dominic let go of the hold. Neiji quickly turned aroud to do a horizontal slash toward Dominic neck. Dominic realized the attack was coming so he ducked. But Neiji kicked him in the jaw. Dominic's head lifted up. Neiji then elbowed him into the ground with full force. Dominic begin to lift himself up. But Neiji smashed his head back into the ground with his left foot. "You see....you can't defeat a full breed Demon Slayer. You're nothing but a failure with human blood. You should have never awaken your power."

"Even if I'm not a full breed like you......I'm just as strong and valuble like you. Even a failure like me can be like a full breed with determination." Dominic grabbed Neiji left foot. He begins to freeze it. Neiji swung his right foot to him. But Dominic caught it and begin to freeze that foot. After freezing his foot, Dominic pushed him off of him. Neiji hit the ground hard. Dominic quickly got up. He walked beside Neiji body. He lifted his foot up to prepare to stomp on his chest. But he noticed that thier was a red hexagram under him. He quickly rolled backwards. A large pillar of flames rose from the hexagram. The heat from the flames also unthaw Neiji legs. Neiji kicked himself up. Thier spiritual essence begin to swirl around them. They charged toward each other. They then soon Revolt Step and begins to attack each other. All there is multiple flashes going across the arena. "They're still have this much energy. I barely could keep up with thier movements. They're incredible" said Youchi. "They both running empty on spiritual energy. Whoever lands a big attack will win this match. I wish they wont using so much energy. This been a exciting match."

They saw Ilux came in with two female Demon Slayers. They walked in front of the Guardian and Youchi. "I brung the medics you wanted." "I should have known that you'll bring female medics" laughed the Guardian. "There's nothing better than getting treated by female medics." Ilux begin to look into the arena. He saw multiple flashes going across the arena. "They're still going full force with little spiritual energy." Dominic stood at the end of one side of the arena. While Neiji was on the other side. They both to breathe extremely hard cause of fatigue. "I think it's time to end this. I'm getting tired of you." Neiji clutched his hands together. He rose them behind his head. A large burst of flames begin to swirl around him. "This is the ultimate attack of a real Demon Slayer. This be the last attack you'll ever see." The swirl of flames disperse. He slammed his fist into the ground. Multiple pillars of flames headed toward Dominic. "Oh, damn." The multiple pillars begin to come faster toward Dominic until the collided with him. A large surge of dust surrounded him. A smirk grew on Neiji face. "I didn't ean to destroy him like that." A ring about three feet formed from the dust. A blue streak of spiritual energy went to Neiji with extreme speed.

The spiritual energy smacked into Neiji chest. Neiji soon couldn't move his body. Soon a row of very large ice spikes is coming to him while crushing the arena. When the ice spikes got to Neiji the last one was blunt and it smacked him in his upper body. Neiji was lifted off the platform and he landed outside the platform. The dust finally cleared. Dominic was surrounded with his whole side of the arena surrounded by ice. "What the hell just happened" asked Youchi. "At the last second Dominic created multiple ice barriers to at least decrease some of the amount of damage from the attack. And he used the distraction of the dust to hide his freeze attack that lead into the other move" said Ilux. Dominic fell backwards and landed on the ground. He begins to laugh. "I won. But I don't have any kind of energy left. I used my last bit in that last wave of attacks." Neiji tried to move his body but he couldn't. "I'm the son of the Guardian. How can I lost to this unpure breed? I am a elite Demon Slayer. He's just a low class scum that should be bowing to my feet." Soon one of the medics that Ilux brought went beside him and took a knee. She held her hands out to him. He was surrounded by a green barrier. He begin to be surrounded by a golden aura.

The other nurse did the same with Dominic. Ilux walked beside him. "You did good today. You showed me that you really did improve while training under me. You even learned some new tricks that I didn't even know you had." I couldn't let you know all my tricks. I had to keep them a secret for my big proformance." "Yeah, I see. You get to live. Even though they been deceided to keep you alive earlier on in the match." "Are you serious?!?!?! Why didn't anyone tell me?" "Cause you two was putting on a good fight. They didn't want no way to ruin it." "So you guys wanted a show, huh. You'll so heartless." Ilux gave him a smile. Youchi walked in front of him. "Who is you?" "My name is Youchi. I been watching you for a couple of days now." "For what??? You must be attracted to me" laughed Dominic. "Not really. You are strong. And we need you in a upcoming fight." "A fight....so know you'll want me to fight as a Demon Slayer." "I'm no Demon Slayer myself. But I'm going to fight myself." Dominic stared at her for awhile. He gave her a friendly smile. "I guess I'll fight. So what's the mission?" "Don't worry about that now Dominic. You worry about getting healed. The Guardian will inform you about it" said Ilux. "Alright.....how long will it take for me to get healed?" "You suffered some serious injury. I can fully heal you in thirty minutes" said the female medic. "Thirty minutes, huh. That's not bad. I wish I had you with my other kind of injuries." The female medic laughed. "I'm serious." Dominic smirked. "Might need you again. I would like another match with Neiji."
