It was a close call. 

Lucifer, who had been kicked back into Juin's Soul Dimension, heard his call for merge in time and quickly took over his body. However, having been taken over by Hades' consciousness and forced to expend a huge amount of soul power, however short that was, Juin's body was completely devoid of energy. 

It was already a miracle that he could even find the energy to flail around earlier. 

Using the last remaining strength in Juin's body, Lucifer called upon a small spell to break his fall. Fortunately, he managed to draw the diagram needed for the spell before Juin's body hit the ground. 

Unfortunately, he was unable to draw the best spell he could given the lack of time. Hence, he only called upon an easy spell, which broke his fall partially by creating a thick bed of flames. 

"Urgh!" he cried out when he fell onto the bed of flames, which then dipped in the middle before moving to all sides quickly, dispersing all the remaining ice particles around him and creating a cloud of ice dust that reached 10-foot tall.

Crack!

Crack!

The cracking sounds were so loud that all the spectators winced upon hearing it; some even believed that Juin was a goner. 

Even though the thick bed of flames had softened the impact, it only protected him from a certain death and not severely broken bones.

He was badly injured, to the point that Lucifer himself, who was currently possessing Juin, could barely bear the pain and was replaced by Juin's consciousness.

"This… hurts…" Juin g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain as his eyes rolled back slightly while blood spurted out of his nose, mouth, and ears. He wanted to pat the places where his bones were broken, but he could no longer differentiate which body parts of his were still functioning. Everything felt as if they were broken into a thousand pieces. 

As the cloud of ice particles slowly settled back down, Juin's consciousness was drifting in and out. When he finally opened his eyes, his black eyes were unfocused and completely filled with blood, showing signs of internal hemorrhaging. 

"S-surrender…" he said in an extremely, almost inaudible, voice before drifting in and out of consciousness again. 

He did not want to admit defeat, but his whole body was in so much pain that he was barely able to say the one word that could save his life, much less to continue fighting.

He thought no one could hear his voice; he wasn't even sure if he heard it. 

However, due to a trace of spell that was also written into the protective dome spell, which could increase the volume of the participants' voices when it came to certain words. 

Upon hearing that half of the spectators cheered, while half roared in anger. They were confused by the happenings. 

When the Head Judge heard it, he immediately rushed into the battle stage area and immediately used a spell to broadcast his voice. 

"Juin surrender! Mr. Luca Rockefeller, please disperse the gale wind…" the Head Judge yelled as he looked toward Luca, who was still surrounded by the gale wind. When there was no reply, the Head Judge then yelled, "Mr. Luca Rockefeller!!!" 

Thud!

The Head Judge frowned when he heard the loud thud, and he watched as the gale wind disappeared from Luca, revealing the now unconscious bloody body on the ground. 

The spectators who were making noises earlier suddenly stopped and looked toward Luca, who was completely unconscious. 

There was a long moment of silence before someone yelled, "What happened?!" 

"How did that happen?!" 

To their knowledge, Luca was completely fine when he called upon the gale wind to hide him from view. They did not see any direct attack on Luca, so why was he so badly injured?

Luca's face was completely covered in bright red blood, just like Juin. 

"Juin!"

"Luca!" 

Both their teachers and pets rushed out of their seats and went to Juin and Luca. 

"Juin!" Tucker quickly took out some multi-colored pills with a strong soul power aura and forced them down Juin's throat. 

"Mr. Tucker!" 

"This would help his bones to mend quickly and heal his internal injuries before anything more adverse sets in…" Tucker explained as he checked on Juin's pulse. He then frowned and said, "His pulse is moving in an extremely weird manner…"

"Is he dying?" Cyrus asked worriedly as he looked at Tucker. 

"No…" Tucker c.o.c.ked his head aside. "His pulse is extremely strong. The weird thing is that, given the condition of his body, his pulse should be weak. But no; his pulse is moving strongly, albeit in an unrhythmic manner."

"Call for medics!" someone yelled.

"What are you waiting for?! Call the medics!" 

"The winning announcement…"

"Screw the announcement!" Soren growled. "My young master has already won, you can do the winning announcement later!"

The Head Judge gulped and quickly looked over to the guards and nodded at them. Shortly thereafter, two groups of medics rushed into the battle stage, along with President Presley and King Frederic. 

"Bring them to the rooms!" King Frederic ordered upon seeing the bloody unconscious bodies in front of him. He then looked at President Presley and said, "Presley, this…"

"They would be fine," President Presley said with a calm voice. "Juin expended too much of his soul power reserve, going past what he could safely use, hence his body, which is still too weak and has just suffered from a great fall, is now rebelling. As for Luca… He's experiencing a backlash."

"Backlash?" 

"Luca's spell blocked most of our views, but I'm sure these two were in an intense battle earlier," President Presley said calmly. He then nodded at Lann and Tucker, telling them to go with the medics. 

After they left, President Presley said to the king, "The boys will be fine after some treatment…" 

"But their state…" the king said with a frown. "Their injuries seem serious."

"They are," President Presley said with a smile, "But nothing I can't handle."
