In the climactic battle between Crimson Devil Lucas and the formidable Ethan, the fate of humanity hung in the balance.

Crimson Devil Lucas, despite his wounds and nearing the end of his strength, declared with unwavering determination, "I don't think I'll die so soon, Ethan... I'll use every last bit of my Encro in this sword, for this slash will tear you apart..."

Ethan, equally resolute and undaunted, countered, "Don't be deceived by my wounds, for these burns can't hurt me at all. I'll right here, right now, finish you in order to protect humanity."

The tension in the air was palpable as both combatants prepared for their final clash.

Crimson Devil Lucas unleashed his ultimate technique, roaring, "Crimson Flame Slash!"

Ethan, with his divine powers at their peak, countered with the resplendent "Heavenly Blast!"

The ensuing collision of power was cataclysmic, shaking the very foundations of their world. The battle raged on with an intensity that defied imagination.

And when the dust settled, it was Ethan who emerged victorious. His unwavering resolve and indomitable spirit had prevailed. For his heroism and dedication to protecting humanity, he was bestowed with the title of Encromite Star.

The battle had been extreme, pushing both warriors to their limits and beyond, and the world would forever remember the intensity of that fateful encounter.

[AT RYAN’S HOUSE]

Ryan and Amelia sat together, reminiscing about a story from the past.

Ryan: "Do you think this story really happened?"

Amelia nodded, a wistful smile playing on her lips. "Yep, it's true. That happened like 32 years ago. Lucas was the toughest and meanest guy around."

Ryan's eyes lit up with determination. "I'm gonna be even stronger than the Encromite Star."

Amelia gave him an encouraging pat on the back. "Wow, that's ambitious! But, you know, he had something special about him."

Ryan didn't falter. "Yeah, but it's not like it's impossible, right? I'm turning sixteen soon, and I'll be getting my Encro Orb."

Amelia wished him well, her voice filled with support. "Good luck with that then!"

Ryan was surprised by her sudden change in tone. "Huh? What's with the switch?"

Amelia's eyes sparkled with belief. "Well, if you're aiming to be stronger than the Encromite Star, then count me in. I totally believe in you."

Ryan felt touched by her faith in him. "Thanks, Amelia."

Amelia continued with a lesson from their childhood. "You know, making people happy makes you strong. But making them sad? That's a surefire way to feel weak."

Ryan nodded, remembering her constant reminders. "Yeah, yeah, I know. You've been drilling that into my head since forever."

Amelia emphasized the importance of these values. "Well, it's something you should always remember. It'll guide you through tough times."

Ryan, somewhat resistant, muttered to himself, "And here we go again."

Amelia made sure he was paying attention. "Are you listening?"

Ryan relented, smiling affectionately. "Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Guided by this, guided by that. But honestly, all I care about is you. You've been looking out for me since Mom and Dad passed away when I was just a small kid and could'nt even speak correctly. I want to repay you for that someday."

Amelia replied, "You think too much, you know that?"

Ryan looked at her with sincerity. "Huh?"

Amelia's smile softened as she expressed her feelings. "Just promise me you'll always be like this, Ryan. I love you. And I'll be cheering you on every step of the way towards your goal."

[ AT ENCRO RESEARCH LAB ]

The Encro Researcher addressed the group with anticipation, announcing that everyone would receive their respective Encro Orbs that day. But what exactly was an Encro Orb? It was a spherical object containing potent energy, specifically designed to facilitate the utilization of the mystical force known as Encro. Remarkably, there were seven distinct types of Encro Orbs, each aligned with a unique elemental attribute: Hydro Orb, Flame Orb, Ice Orb, Wind Orb, Thunder Orb, Crystal Orb, and Earth Orb.

The distribution of these orbs would be based on the individuals' genetic makeup, ensuring that each recipient received the most compatible Encro Orb. As there were 150 young participants in the event, a total of 150 Encro Orbs had been launched into the air. These orbs would ultimately find their rightful owners, guided by the inherent genetic markers of each individual. The excitement in the air was palpable as everyone eagerly awaited the orbs to make their way to their destined bearers.

Random Person 1, "Hey, look! I received the Ice Orb."

Random Person 2, "I got the Thunder Orb."

Random Person 3, "I received the Crystal Orb."

Random Person 4, "I got the Hydro Orb."

Random Person 5, "Hey, look, that person over there has the Wind Orb."

Random Person 6, "It's the rarest Orb, isn't it? No one has received the Wind Orb for the past three years."

RYAN: Hey, Arlo, you weirdo!

ARLO: What's your deal?

RYAN: I challenge you! Let's battle right here, right now.

ARLO: Are you sure?

[At the battlefield behind the Encro Research Lab]

RANDOM PERSON: Do you honestly think you stand a chance against someone favored by Encro?

ANOTHER RANDOM PERSON: Kid, just go home. You're out of your league here.

ENCRO RESEARCHER: Hmm, this guy's orb looks different. The Flame Orb isn't supposed to have that color.

RYAN: I'll take you down with my Flame Encro.

HATED BY ENCRO

In the midst of their heated confrontation, Ryan summoned the fury of his Flame Art, declaring, "Flame Art, Attack Style, Majestic Flame Slash!" Every ounce of his Encro was channeled into his sword, intensifying the blaze. [ Sword created by his encro. ]

Arlo, his opponent, noted the intensity of Ryan's focus, realizing that this attack was unlike any other. He braced himself for what was to come.

As Ryan unleashed the devastating technique, Arlo couldn't help but notice something peculiar. The flames were not the usual hue but a deep crimson, signifying the extraordinary power behind this strike.

Ryan bellowed, "Face this!" with all the strength he could muster.

However, Arlo, quick-witted and agile, managed to evade the attack gracefully. He seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving the spectators in awe.

Random onlookers marveled at the spectacle. "He just vanished with the wind!" "How cool!"

Ryan, perplexed by Arlo's sudden disappearance, scanned his surroundings frantically. "Where did he vanish?"

But before he could react, Arlo initiated his counterattack with a well-placed "Ambush!" "Behind you..."

Ryan turned just in time to witness Arlo's Wind Vortex, a powerful technique that left him immobilized.

The crowd continued to express their admiration. "Arlo is too good!" "Wind Vortex was amazing!"

Arlo, seizing the advantage, decided to bring the battle to a close. He chanted, "Let's end this, Wind Art! Attack Style! Wind Arrow!"

However, Ryan refused to give in. His determination burned brighter than ever. He roared, "There's no way I'm gonna lose! Flame Art! Attack Style! Sword Dance!"

The stage was set for an epic showdown between these two formidable Encro Orb wielders, each pushing their limits to emerge victorious in this battle of elements and wits.

[ Ryan's sword cuts through Arlo's wind arrow. ]

[ Ryan was about to hit Arlo but was interrupted by someone. ]

RANDOM PERSON: WHO IS THIS?

RANDOM PERSON: VICE CAPTAIN OF THE PHONIX SCOUTS! NOAH!

RYAN: HUHHHH?

NOAH: YOU ARE HATED BY ENCRO. YOUR BLOOD HAS THE MOST EVIL ENCRO EVER EXSISTED, THE CRIMSON ENCRO.

RANDOM PERSON: LOOK AT HIS ORB, THAT’S NOT THE COLOUR OF THE FLAME ORB, IT’S CRIMSON FLAME.

NOAH: FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY YOU SHOULD DIE RIGHT NOW.

ARLO: DON’T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON HIM ELSE I’LL, KILL YOU.

NOAH: YOU FOOL, THEN IT’S DECIDED. IF YOU TWO ARE ABLE TO DEFEAT ME, THEN I’LL SPARE HIS LIFE.

LOVED BY ENCRO

RYAN&ARLO ALMOST DEFEATED BY NOAH.

RYAN: MAJESTIC FLAMES

ARLO: WIND TORNADO

[ Ryan's crimson flames were infused with the wind. ]

NOAH: (NORMAL HYDRO ATTACKS WON’T AFFECT IT THAT MUCH. IT’S AN ENCRO REACTION. THE FLAMES HAVE BEEN BOOSTED BY THE WIND TORNADO. MY HYDRO ATTACKS WILL BE VAPORIZED BY THE FLAMES AND THE WINDS. THE BEST ATTACK IS)

HYDRO ART! ATTACK STYLE! HYDRO RESONANCE!!!

[ WITH NOAH'S SWORD WRAPED IN WATER NOAH SLASHED THROGH THE TORNADO. ]

YOU’RE DONE FOR KIDS…

RANDOM PERSON: HE’S SO STRONG!

RANDOM PERSON: IT’S POSSILBE TO CUT THROUGH THIS TORNADO, I CAN’T BELIVE IT…

NOAH: BUT STILL, I THINK YOU SHOULD BE SPARED. IT’S ONLY BECAUSE OF ARLO AM LEAVING YOU, YOUR ONE CRIME AND I’LL KILL YOU…

In a moment of introspection, Ryan couldn't help but be awed by the astonishing strength displayed by those around him. The recent encounter with a Vice Captain had left him humbled, realizing that he had fallen short in his abilities. A burning desire ignited within him, fueling his aspiration to ascend the ranks of power and surpass not only the Captain of the Scouts but also the very monarch of the Encromite Kingdom. Ultimately, his ultimate aim was to transcend even the mightiest force known to them all—the awe-inspiring Encromite Star.

With unwavering resolve, Ryan proclaimed his fervent aspiration to ascend to a level of strength that would eclipse even the formidable might of the legendary Encromite Star, casting his declaration with a dramatic flair that left no doubt about his determination.

In the wake of Ryan's bold proclamation, all eyes were fixed upon him, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air. A hushed silence enveloped the onlookers, save for Noah, who, seemingly unfazed, calmly began to make his way toward his secret sanctuary.

Noah's departure was marked by an enigmatic parting shot. With a subtle yet piercing grin, he turned back to Ryan and uttered a cryptic remark: "You speak as though it's an achievable feat."

Ryan's resolve remained unshaken. With unwavering determination, he replied, "I solemnly swear that one day, I will win in a one-on-one battle against you!"

Noah left with that same enigmatic smile, leaving behind an atmosphere charged with anticipation and the unspoken promise of a future clash that would be nothing short of epic.

The Encro Researcher's voice reverberated with authority as they took control of the situation.

"Listen up, everyone! This is no time for idle chatter or distractions. The Encro Scouts Selection Ceremony looms on the horizon, a mere two months away. It's your opportunity to seize, to prove yourselves worthy of selection. But let me make one thing abundantly clear: the only way forward is through strength. So, prepare yourselves, push your limits, and become the formidable candidates I know you can be. This is your moment!"

RYAN: ( IT’S JUST TWO MONTHS, IN TWO MONTHS I’LL BE AN OFFICIAL SCOUT. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TO LEARN HOW TO USE MY ENCRO. )

Amelia encouraged Ryan, saying, "Come on, Ryan, have your lunch. If you don't eat, how will you grow?"

Ryan replied, "I'll eat later, don't worry about me. Just a bit more concentration training. Encro power increases with concentration, breathing, and muscle strength, you know."

Amelia expressed concern, "You've been training since you got home, and it's been 7 hours."

Ryan was determined, "I'm fine. I only have two months to get stronger, and there are many people stronger than me. I can't let them surpass me. I have to become stronger."

Arlo, reflecting on the situation, thought to himself, "I have to wait for two months, huh? It's so boring. Even though I possess the strongest Encro in the world, he was able to defeat me. I suppose I should try to learn to use these Encro abilities in different ways. It's certain that Encro loves me."

[ ENCRO POWER DEPENDS ON THE CONCENTRATION, BREATHING AND MUSCLE STRENGTH OF THE BODY ]

Two months later, the host announced, "The Encro Scouts Selection Ceremony is about to begin. The pairs are ready. This will be a kind of battle tournament. If you lose a fight, you are out of the tournament. There are a total of 360 participants in Round 1, and we have created 30 sets of pairs, with 12 in each set. Four participants from each pair will advance to Round 2, leaving only 120 participants. Then, the pairs will be reshuffled, resulting in 12 different sets of pairs, with 10 participants in each. Only one from each pair will proceed to Round 3, leaving us with just 12 participants. All the scout team captains are present to observe your performance, and we have the best doctors in the world to heal any kind of wound, so don't hold back at all!"

Pairs Set 1:

Arlo vs. James

Liam vs. Elijah

William vs. Henry

Aire vs. Atticus

Theodore vs. Mateo

Ryan vs. Jack

HOST: SET 1 MATCH 1 START!!!

In the heart of the arena, the battle raged as James, a master of ice-based Encro techniques, faced off against Arlo, the wielder of the coveted Wind Orb. Tension filled the air as spectators braced themselves for an electrifying spectacle.

With an emphatic cry, James initiated his attack, unleashing the "Ice Art! Attack Style! Heavenly Blizzard!" A frigid tempest erupted, and the atmosphere seemed to crystallize. The onslaught of icy shards was swift and unrelenting.

But Arlo, undeterred, demonstrated his agility and mastery over the wind element. His form blurred, and he vanished. Gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and the commentator's voice carried the awe of the moment. "He vanished with the wind!"

The audience erupted in cheers and excitement. "WOW! That's great!" "Isn't that the person who got the Wind Orb?"

However, James wasn't about to concede. With heightened awareness, he anticipated Arlo's next move. "Huh? From where will he attack? Behind me!"

Arlo responded with a move that showcased his mastery over wind: the "Wind Vortex." He created a swirling gust beneath him, using it to lift off the ground, defying gravity's grasp. The commentator exclaimed, "He used the Wind Vortex on the ground to fly from the pressure of the wind!" The crowd's admiration knew no bounds. "He's amazing!" "So cool!"

Undeterred, Arlo brandished his Wind Sword, unleashing an "Air Slash" that crackled with the energy of the tempest. James knew he had to act swiftly. "If that hits me, then I'll be done for. I can't use my Encro so quickly. He's too fast. My only option is..."

He tapped into his hidden ability, invoking the "Thick Mist." A mysterious haze enshrouded the arena, thick and impenetrable. "Every orb has its own hidden ability," James mused.

But Arlo, proving his mettle, displayed an uncanny ability. He declared, "It's no use. My eyes can see through the gases."

The referee's voice rang out: "James is unable to battle, Arlo wins!" The crowd erupted in euphoria. "Arlo is damn cool!" "He is amazing!" "Arlo is so handsome!" "His Air Slash was amazing!"

In the wake of their exhilarating duel, the arena was left in awe of the breathtaking display of Encro mastery, each move and countermove etching a vivid memory in the minds of all who witnessed it.

TOURNAMENT ARC I

COMMMENTATOR: MATCH 2, ELIJAH DEFEATED LIAM, MATCH 3, WILLIAM DEFFEATED HENRY, MATCH 4, AIRE VS ATTICUS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!

[ IN THE PARTICIPANT’S WAITING AREA ]

[ RYAN WATCHING THE MATCH ]

Arlo extended a hand toward Ryan, his face marked by both respect and a challenge. "You defeated me back there, and I have high expectations for you in this tournament."

Ryan returned the firm handshake with a determined gleam in his eye. "Don't you dare lose until we reach the finals."

Arlo cracked a wry smile. "I'm well aware of that, weirdo."

But as they exchanged pleasantries, Arlo couldn't shake a nagging feeling. His inner senses were tingling, detecting an unsettling aura emanating from Ryan, something dark and foreboding. He thought to himself, "I can sense something sinister inside of him. It's so strong."

The stadium crackled with energy as the referee prepared to start the match. "Three, two, one, begin!"

Aire, a Crystal Orb wielder, wasted no time. He summoned a "Crystal Art! Defense Style! Crystal Shield!" A shimmering barricade of crystal formed around him, guarding against the impending attack.

Opposite him, Atticus, with his Earth Orb, countered with an "Earth Art! Attack Style! Sandstorm!" A fierce tempest of swirling sand enveloped the arena. But there was a twist – Atticus's hidden ability rendered him immune to the effects of sandstorm, blizzard, or gale.

Aire, behind his crystal shield, contemplated his next move. "As long as I have my shield, his sandstorm is useless. Guess it's my turn now." With a determined resolve, he unleashed a "Crystal Art! Attack Style! Crystal Edge!" But before it could connect, Atticus disappeared, invoking the second fading ability in the first set.

The commentator marveled, "He vanished before he got hit by the Crystal Edge! It's the second fading ability in the first set!"

The crowd erupted in appreciation. "He is absolutely amazing!" "First, he used the sandstorm, now fading!"

Aire, elusive as ever, considered Atticus's position. "Where has he gone? Behind me?" Suddenly, an ambush resounded – a mud clone had been conjured.

Atticus taunted, "Give up, you are done for."

Undeterred, Aire unleashed a "Crystal Art, Attack Style, Flash Beam!" Atticus countered with "Earth Art, Attack Style, Geomancy!" An explosive clash ensued, marked by a glare that left the crowd in suspense.

Both contenders stood tall, undeterred by the chaos. Aire regrouped, resorting to "Crystal Art: Claymore," while Atticus conjured an "Earth Art! Sword." The arena echoed with a thunderous battle cries.

The ensuing exchange of blows was fierce and relentless, the sounds of "THCHINKKKKKKK," "THIK," "CHUNK," "THIK," "THIK," "THIK," "THUN," and "THUNK" creating a symphony of combat.

Aire struggled to maintain his balance, realizing his Crystal Claymore was no match for Atticus's Earth Sword. The relentless sandstorm added to his woes, making it impossible to read his opponent's movements.

Atticus, capitalizing on his advantage, recharged his Encro rapidly. Aire knew he couldn't dodge the imminent "Earth Slash."

With a swift motion, Aire was thrown to the wall. The referee declared, "Aire is unable to battle. Atticus wins!"

The crowd roared in jubilation. "He is the greatest!" "Not greater than Arlo, yeah, but his Earth Slash was amazing!"

Aire, however, had other plans. He angrily retorted, "Who the hell said that I am unable to battle, huh?"

Confusion rippled through the crowd as some spectators urged him to give up. The referee apologized for the earlier decision and declared the match would continue.

Aire, fueled by determination, rallied with a "Crystal Edge." But Atticus effortlessly dodged it.

Aire, undeterred, chanted, "Crystal Art, Counter Style, Reflect Flash!" The arena shook as it was filled with the silver glare and nothing was visible.

[ IN THE BATTLEFIELD. ATTICUS COUNTERED AIRE'S ATTACK WITH HIS EARTHSWORD PERFECTLY. ]

In the momentary stillness, Atticus spoke, "You can blame me for crushing your dream." He invoked "Earth Art, Support Style, Deep Branches."

Aire found himself trapped in strong branches.

Atticus then initiated his ultimate move, "Earth Art, Nature, Nature's Wish Hyper Blast!" The stadium trembled with the overwhelming power of the attack, engulfed in a fog of epic proportions.

The commentator gasped, "He demolished him! So much fog is eating our view."

The crowd, momentarily fooled by Aire's resilience, soon realized the inevitable. "For a second, we thought that Aire might have a chance, but Atticus is just too damn good! No way he could have ever defeated him!"

However, Aire wasn't ready to concede defeat. He summoned his "Crystal Art, Trap Style, Crystal Cage," imprisoning Atticus within the crystalline structure. The crowd was shocked, murmuring in disbelief.

The commentator announced, "He trapped Atticus in the Crystal Cage!"

With Atticus confined, Aire launched a "Crystal Art, Attack Style, Crystal Shards.

[ The shards were summmoned in the cage. ]

But Atticus, resilient and resourceful, summoned an "Earth Shield" to withstand the assault. Aire, however, had seen it coming and countered with a "Crystal Blade Strike!" With the brilliance of his move – a reaction crystalized.

[ Crystalized reaction increases the dmg 10times. the strongest dmg multiplying reaction deciphered. ]

The referee declared, "Atticus is unable to battle. Aire is the winner."

Aire stood victorious, his determination and cunning tactics propelling him to triumph in an intense and unforgettable battle that showcased the incredible power of Encro Orbs.

DRAVID: I’LL TAKE HIS RISPONSIBLITY. JUST RESUME THE MATCH.

Philips, the captain of the Phoenix Scouts, sternly addressed Dravid, saying, "This is not a joke, Dravid. You are aware of the gravity of the situation, aren't you?"

Annie, the captain of the Protective Aura Scouts, impatiently remarked, "You are wasting our time."

Antony, the captain of the Royal Supportive Scouts Purple, added sarcastically, "Of course, he is a waste of time, continuously tarnishing his reputation."

Xavier, captain of the Royal Supportive Scouts Golden, chimed in with skepticism, "Like he could ever have taken responsibility for the cause."

Erika, captain of the Scouts of Dreams, urged, "Enough with the nonsense already, Dravid. We cannot afford to allow this."

Thomas, captain of the Thrilling Eagle, cautioned, "Don't act selfishly, Dravid. He has a tainted bloodline."

Dravid offered, "I have a sealing technique that will allow me to make some adjustments to his Encro so that he can continue in the tournament."

Philips, still cautious, stated, "You'll do it in front of me."

Dravid agreed, saying, "Fine."

The commentator announced, "We are making some adjustments here. The tournament will resume shortly. We appreciate your patience."

[IN THE BASEMENT]

Philips questioned, "You're not suggesting you'll cast your Doom Seal, are you? How will he use Encro then?"

Dravid clarified, "I won't be casting it on his entire Encro, just 95% of it."

Philips expressed concern, "But that's practically the same as having no Encro."

Dravid defended his plan, saying, "No, it's not. He possesses an enormous amount of Encro in his blood; only 1% of it is more powerful than the current Encrominte star."

Philips reacted in disbelief, asking, "Is this for real? You're not joking, are you?"

DRAVID: YOU THINK I AM? FLAME ART! SEAL STYLE! DOOMED SEAL!!!

RYAN: AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[ A SEAL WAS CASTED ON RYAN. ]

DRAVID: NOW SHOW ME YOUR ENCRO ORB.

RYAN: IT’S COLOUR, IT’S CHANGING.

DRAVID: YEAH, NOW YOU CAN CONTINUE FIGHTING KID, THIS SEAL HAS NO FAULTS. IT WILL NEVER BREAK.

RYAN: THANK YOU CAPTAIN.

DRAVID: WELL YOU SHOULD GO NOW. ( IT’S A BIG LIE THAT THIS SEAL HAS NOT FAULT CAUSE IT HAS ONE, A BIG ONE. THIS SEAL WILL BREAK INTO SHEARS IF RYAN GETS REALY REALY ANGRY. I CASTED IT ON HIM AS HE SEEMS TO BE A HUMBLE GUY, IT DOES’NT LOOKS LIKE HE WILL EVER GET THAT DIPPRESED AS HE IS JUST A 16 YEARS OLD KID. )

COMMENTATOR: THE MATCH IS ABOUT TO CONTINUE.

REFREE: BOTH THE SIDE READY?

RYAN&JACK: YEAH!

REFREE: THEN FIGHT!!!

EXTRA INFO:- Ryan possesses a Flame Orb. His Encro consists of 95% Crimson and 5% Flame. Crimson Encro is an unidentified Encro with unknown abilities. If Ryan has his full 100% blood (without the seal), he would access the hidden abilities of both Flame and Crimson blood. Even with only 5% Flame blood, he still has some hidden abilities.

In the heart of their battle, Jack unleashed a devastating attack: "Hydro Sphere!" The air crackled with energy as a swirling, watery orb hurtled toward Ryan.

Ryan, desperately trying to evade the impending danger, summoned his elemental reaction, "Disappearance!" But to his dismay, something was amiss. He realized with a sinking feeling, "I can't use it. Ugh."

With lightning reflexes, Ryan managed to evade the attack just in the nick of time. The Hydro Sphere crashed into the ground, sending a powerful spray of water in all directions.

Jack, undeterred by his initial miss, recognized Ryan's swiftness. He decided to change tactics and called upon his Hydro Art once more, this time adopting an offensive approach. "Then, Hydro Art! Attack Style! Thread Sprint!"

Ryan's mind raced as he tried to comprehend Jack's next move. He noticed something peculiar – a thin, almost invisible thread held in Jack's hand. An ominous realization dawned upon him.

Before he could react, Jack swiftly employed his secret weapon. With precision and accuracy, he tied Ryan with the unassuming thread, immobilizing him completely.

Helpless and vulnerable, Ryan could only watch as Jack tightened his grip on the thread. "Now, Thread Crush."

Sharp sound of cuts resonated through the arena, and Ryan's agony was palpable. The thread's crushing force inflicted pain beyond anything he had ever imagined.

The intensity of the moment hung heavy in the air as Ryan grappled with the excruciating torment, his determination and resilience pushed to their limits.

COMMENTATOR: IT’S ELEMENTAL REACTION VAPORISE.

[ ELEMENTAL REACTIONS, WHAT IS IT? THERE ARE MANY OF THEM. WHEN WATER REACTS WITH FIRE, LEADS TO ELEMENTAL REACTION VAPORISE. WHEN FIRE REACTS WITH ICE, IT LEADS TO ELEMENTAL REACTION MELT.

CRYSTAL DOES’NT NEEDS ANY ELEMENT TO USE ELEMENTAL REACTION CRYSTALISE. WIND REACTS WITH ANY ELEMENT SPREDS THE ELEMENTAL REACTION. EARTH REATS WITH WATER OR ELECTRO WILL LEAD TO HYPERBLOOM. ALL ELEMENTAL REACTION INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF DAMEGE. ]

In the blistering arena, the hydro was oppressive as Ryan found himself locked in a hydrofied battle. He knew that he couldn't afford to lose if he wanted to protect his loved ones. The pain he endured was excruciating, but he pressed on.

Summoning all his strength, Ryan roared, "Flame Art! Attack Style! Ugh!!" Water surged around him, the intense pain seemingly tearing at his very soul. The agony was unbearable, but his resolve was unshaken. With a desperate cry, he unleashed the ultimate technique, "Flame Destruction!"

An inferno erupted, engulfing the arena. The intensity of his attack threatened to consume everything in its path, including his opponent.

Jack, facing this fiery onslaught, understood the dire situation. He summoned his own power with "Hydro Art! Hydro Dragon!" The arena trembled as a massive.

Jack commanded, "Kill him!"

The Hydro Dragon obeyed as it lunged at Ryan, who could only scream in terror.

But Ryan, in his direst moment, found untapped strength. His sword cleaved through the Hydro Dragon with a resounding "CHHHHHHHHHH," leaving Jack stunned.

With unwavering determination, Ryan seized the opportunity, declaring, "It's over with a majestic Flame Slash!" Flames erupted with unparalleled intensity.

Jack, struggling to comprehend what had just happened, retaliated with "Hydro Disappearance," a move of incredible speed.

The awestruck crowd erupted in disbelief. "It's so insane." "It was a dragon, and he tore him apart!"

Jack, refusing to yield, unleashed "Hydro Pressure, Hydro Strike!" A torrent of water surged with unimaginable force, capable of slicing through mountains.

Ryan, unfazed, countered with a battle cry, "Flame Sword Overload! Split Strike!" His blade crackled with fiery energy as he launched a devastating attack.

Jack couldn't believe his eyes as Ryan's sword cut through his powerful Hydro Pressure. It was an impossible feat, even for the Captain of the Royal Scouts.

With a final, powerful thrust.

Jack grunted in pain as Ryan's sword found its mark. The commentator exclaimed, "He stabbed him!"

The crowd was in awe. "He is so strong! Never thought a guy like Jack would lose to a guy like him."

The referee's voice rang out, "Jack is unable to battle. Ryan is the winner!" In the midst of cheers and applause, Ryan emerged victorious, his incredible strength and unwavering determination etching a legend in the annals of their world's history.

COMMENTATOR: WE WILL NOW CONTINUE WITH THE SET 1 OF 2ND ROUND. MATCH NO. 7 ARLO VS MARLUS.

With a resounding cheer from the crowd, the referee signaled the start of the match. Arlo and Marlus wasted no time in unleashing their formidable Encro powers.

Marlus initiated the offensive with a powerful declaration, "Now Crystal Art! Laser Beam!" A brilliant beam of crystalline energy shot forth, hurtling toward Arlo with remarkable speed.

Arlo, never one to be easily rattled, responded swiftly. He muttered under his breath, "You're annoying," and executed his Wind Diversion technique. A sudden gust of wind altered the trajectory of Marlus' laser beam, sending it veering off-course.

But Marlus wasn't ready to concede defeat. He adjusted his strategy on the fly, seizing an opportunity. "You can't dodge this," he declared with a wily grin, "Crystal Edge, Crystal Corner!" His new attack appeared to come from a single direction, but Arlo saw through the deception.

With a calculated move, Arlo harnessed the power of the wind once more, this time employing his Wind Art to create a Wind Current. As the air currents swirled around him, he deftly maneuvered through the arena, soaring above the ground.

The crowd gasped in astonishment as Arlo levitated gracefully. Marlus, meanwhile, found himself in a precarious situation, realizing that his Crystal Edge attack was now rendered ineffective.

Undeterred, Arlo seized the moment and unleashed his counterattack. "Wind Art: Air Blast!" A powerful burst of wind energy surged toward Marlus, who could do little to evade it.

As the gust of wind struck, Marlus was thrown off balance and overwhelmed. The referee wasted no time in declaring the outcome, "Marlus is unable to battle, Arlo is the winner!"

The intensity of the battle and the mesmerizing display of elemental powers left the audience in awe. Arlo's strategic thinking and mastery of the wind element had secured his victory, marking another thrilling chapter in the world of Encro Orbs.
