The Pulse spread out fast, destroying light, sound, all sense gone for an instant.

Lily was caught at the center of this, there was no escape, there was no dodging, no blocking, she took the brunt of full chaos.

BOOOOOM!

The entire throne room trembled.

The ground beneath them cracked, everyone fought for their stability.

Multiple pillars were shattered instantly, dust exploded out like a wave.

When it was all over, everyone looked at Athena with wide eyes. Her third eyes slowly closed back up and vanished, she opened her normal eyes to see what she had done.

The dust settled, and everyone looked eagerly to see the results of the attack. Standing there at the center of this was the Butler, and in his hands Lily, barely conscious.

No one had noticed when the Butler had moved into the chaos, but he did, and he saved Lily from what would have killed her for sure. The ground behind him showed the proof, Athena had blasted a massive chasm right into the throne room.

It was safe to say that she had won that for sure. Athena couldn't help but smile, her eyes shining in that moment, for once in her life her emotions didn't cause her pain and suffering, rather it brought her a victory that she wanted.

She turned around, her gleeful smile still remaining on her face, as she headed for Aren. But in that moment, the eyes of Lily snapped open with malice and she leaped out of the Butler's hands.

Her feet barely touched the ground before she pulled out one of her final rings, a black one that immediately transformed into some sort of living metallic liquid, it wrapped around her hand instantly.

She planted her foot into the ground. "Roarrrrrr, die you fucking bitch." She growled and thrust her hand, the metallic liquid extended, moving fast to stab into Athena.

It seemed time slowed down, everyone watched in shock, Aren was already bolting from the ground, hoping that he would reach in time, the Butler was lifting up his hands to grab Lily by the shoulder, it was all a matter of who would do what first.

Then Lily turned around, her eyes carrying resolve, her aim locked right onto the arm, with precision, she attacked, her chaos slammed into the metal that was attacking her, destroying it and proceeding to slam into the arm.

The arm was instantly obliterated as it made contact with the chaos, blood was turned to mist, skin to shreds, bones to dust, the entire arm gone in an instant.

Then the Butler's hands reached her shoulder, and a crazy amount of force pressed down, slamming Lily into the ground.

BOOM!

A crater formed beneath her as she lay in a puddle of her own blood.

Everyone watched in shock, it had all happened so fast they could barely tell what was going on, and could only look in disbelief.

Then her cry rang out.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lily screamed as the pain set in, her eyes red and full of shock, she stared at the bleeding stump her arm once was, now a mangled place.

"Lily." Ragna called out in horror, he rushed forward to her side, he lifted her head while she still cried in pain.

Ragna looked up at Elton, he saw her sitting, not even bothering to move, nor did her maids even move. The Butler that was beside the two even stepped back.

Ragna's expression twisted.

"What the hell are you doing? Someone come and save her, please!" He bellowed.

"She attacked someone when the battle was ended, she went against my rules, the loss of her arm is her karma." Elton spoke calmly and with a soft smile.

As Ragna heard this, his shock increased. He opened his mouth to curse, but bit his tongue to stop himself, he knew what could happen if he was careless.

"Please, she'll die, you can't do this to her." He roared, begging, but that only made Elton frown.

"You should be happy that she is still alive and I have not killed her. The two of you have ended your part of the tournament, your maze points will be handed to you, and you'll be teleported to a place where you can make use of those points, your second trial has ended." Elton said.

"Fuck you all, fuck all of you." Ragna snapped, but that was his last words before he and Lily in his arms vanished from there.

The air inside the throne room after that was tense, some people became too scared to even breathe. Elton looked exhausted already. "Proceed with the battles." She said with a casual wave of her hand.

[....]

Ragna appeared before a statue of Elton, he had Lily in his arms. It was on a field of grass out in the open.

The system immediately told him that he could use his maze points at the statue and get items.

He immediately dropped Lily there and rushed to the statue, pulling out his system screen and searching through everything that he could get.

Then he spotted a potion of regeneration, he immediately bought it and rushed back to her, feeding her the potion. He watched as the arm grew back right there and he heaved a sigh of relief, only for the arm to wither away and turn to dust, leaving a stump.

"What? What the hell is happening?" He asked, looking at the stump now. The arm refused to heal, but at least it had turned to a stump.

Still not wanting to give up, he searched again, and then found something there, a biomechanical soul weapon arm prosthetic.

Without hesitation he bought it, all his maze points immediately gone.

It was a sleek black hand with some flowing purple lines of energy. He brought it close to her stump and instantly, tendrils came out of the arm and latched onto her stump, fusing in until it became like her normal arm, even going as far as changing its color and texture to match her real hand.

He watched this and could finally heave a sigh of relief, he looked at her unconscious face with a soft gaze. Then it turned cold, the look of vengeance.
