Before the two would clash, Alex decided to check Ariel's status quickly; he was curious about her strength; he was not the only interested; Maria, Sakura, and Luna were also interested.

〖She is not half bad.〗Silveria complimented Ariel in Silveria's way.
Alex rolled his eyes at her without commenting.
Meanwhile, the fight continued.
Right after Ariel closed her eyes, she crouched down.
*Ziii!* *Ziii!*
The atmosphere around her began to give an odor of ozone as sparks of blue lightning surrounded her body, while the wind stirred as if giving birth to a storm.
Her honey-colored hair became spiky as it swayed in the wind, and her eyes became fiercer while black and white fur began to form on her face. Finally, her nails became as sharp as claws.
*Growl*
Currently, Leon didn't feel like he was facing the beautiful and gentle but stern Setsuna, but rather an extremely dangerous beast that was about to rip him to shred.
Alex and the others discovered that Ariel's strength skyrocketed after her transformation; it was like Alex when he was in the Asura's Form or like Gracier's dragon mode.
"It's still dangerous like always."
Exhaling a little while exclaiming in admiration, he slowly twirled his shoulder, and he calmed his rising tension.
Like Alex and others had seen when they appraised Ariel, she was not just a not normal tiger beastman but a royal tiger and an extremely rare one. Rumor has it that there was only one royal tiger that appeared every generation. And even among the past royal tiger to have ever existed, Ariel was considered an oddity, a mutant of sort because her fur was black and white different from the golden one.
Looking at the menacing Ariel in front of him, Leon smiled wickedly, his eyes became more golden, and like Ariel, fur appeared on his face and arms, beautiful golden fur with dark golden lines. He became taller; his white skin changed to a bronzed tone.
''Is this some kind of beastification?" Gracier wondered, but unexpectedly it was Leandra who answered.
''No, it's like sister-in-law Tiger's Form. Brother will be more powerful if he could use this form together with Lionheart, but currently, he can't, but I hope one day he can.''
''Don't worry, he will; your brother is awesome after all,'' Gracier said, comforting Leandra, who haughtily shrugged her shoulders.
''Of he will.''
Alex smiled, his eyes filled with battle lust; he wished to face such Leon to see physically who was strong when he was in his Asura's Form; he knew well that he had not unveiled the truth might of the Asura's Form, but he was sure that one he will.

Like in Ariel's case, after his transformation, Leon's status increased as well, but the funniest thing was that their statuses were not that different, with 2100 points in attack.
Right after their transformation, something astonishing happened; a true mana storm filled the stadium as Leon's, and Ariel's mana began to clash. Some of the spectators began to flee from their place as they couldn't support the pressure, while some others who were too close, fainted.
At the center of all this were Leon and Ariel, staring at each other with an unprecedented focus, none of the two thinking about anything else.
Then, under the eyes of the crowd, they simply vanished after having come up to some kind of understanding.
Boom!!
The scene happening in front of their eyes was one they had never witnessed in the colosseum. It was as if two fierce beasts were unleashing their wrath on their surroundings. No place in the Arena was spared. In just two minutes, the place was utterly ravaged.
Of course, for those able to see what was happening, they could only click their tongue in marvel.
Leon and Ariel's way of fighting was completely different. One used her extreme speed as well as her skill and precision to deliver fast and precise blows, while the other used his powerful body to weave through all damage and counter-attack. No weapon had been used yet, only pure physics.
They couldn't help but shiver when they thought about how helpless they would be should they face any of those two.
Finally, after one final blow, the two of them stopped moving and began seizing each other again.
*Ahh!* *Ahh!* *Ahh!*
Their breaths were ragged, and their clothes ripped in different places, trickles of blood dripping from each of them. Still, the sharp-eyed ones could see that Leon was clearly having more difficulty breathing than Setsuna.
The result of the previous clash could be said to have resulted in his defeat. His left arm was partially dislocated, his fingers were broken, and his chest was punctured and covered in blood. Even though his wounds were already healing, in the long run, they would sap his stamina even more.
He couldn't help but admit that tiger indeed has stronger physics than Lion. While Lion prides themselves on strongest, they are indeed strong but not the strongest physically. Well, there is some exception.
'Sigh! Let's stop playing around and fight seriously; if not, I will be the one losing in the end.'
Leon had to admit that he loved this fight. This was different from all the ones he had against Kuina or the ones against the previous gladiators. Only his fight against Alex was more exciting.
''You will lose at this rate.''
Just as Leon was reminiscing about his thrilling fight against Alex, Ariel's merciless words reached his ears, followed by an attack.
''Wind and Lightning art: Alterspeed !"
BOOOOMMM!!!!
Rumble!!
The entire coliseum trembled as Leon was propulsed like a rocket before hitting the wall and becoming embedded in it.
*Cough* *Cough*
Even as the debris of the wall obstructed his vision and his mind slightly blacked out but he bit his tongue not to fall unconscious.
It was his first time seeing this skill; previously, he would have never expected that it was possible to combine two arts if he didn't have his fiancee doing it. It was why she was a monster. This also gave him an idea he couldn't wait to try.
Alex almost stood up from his seat because when Ariel combined two arts created the Alterspeed, her speed was faster than him, even in his Asura's Form, which shocked him greatly. He wished to fight her but had to postpone this for later as the fight would be more exciting from now on.
Meanwhile, the crowd fell silent as they observed the debris under which the prince was under. At first, they thought that he would come out blazing, but as time went past, it seemed incredibly clear that he was out cold.
They didn't know whether they should cheer for the Gladiator queen or their prince.
But, just as the referee was about to give the signal, they all felt it.
Something dangerous was about to happen.
This was their primal instinct screaming from the bottom of their hearts.
Flee.
Don't look. Something dangerous would happen.
But none of them listened to this instinct. Some because of their curiosity, others because of the confidence in their skills.
It was then, that every surrounding Leon melted at an impossible speed, almost like disintegration.
''Flame and Lightning art: God's Flame!"
Leon's voice sounded majestic while at the same time striking fear into the onlookers' eyes, especially when they saw that golden flame mixed with lightning surrounding his body.
Ariel didn't wait and automatically attacked Leon with her sword.
''Lion's pride!" Leon said before roaring.
Roarrrr!
It was an ancient beast's roar, stalling all her movements.
She was already about to kneel before understanding what was happening. Even more so, the very idea of refusing his order made a deep fear attack her heart. She felt as if she would die the moment she refused.
However, she chuckled before roaring in turn.
Roarrrr!
She would not be surpassed; she would definitely win this fight.
