(How can someone be that strong? I mean, yes, there was also Michael in Hell, but he wasn't the strongest. Still, when you see the Supreme Knight, you begin to understand what strength actually means. Michael in Hell was fast, had excellent technique, and possessed powerful magic, while the only things the Supreme Knight had were strength, power, and zero presence.)
(I was returning to the palace when I saw someone. Someone I held dear, and someone I would hold dear in the near future. That is a promise I am making to the stars—the stars that are tied to everyone's existence—and to the mightiest of all existence, Phoenix, the legendary bird.)
(I'm going back to the palace now to rest because tomorrow's match will be worthwhile. Tomorrow, my dear friend will fight.)
The Next Day
Robert's Room
(Now I have to go, but before that, I want to greet the princess with one of my good mornings.)
[Leaving the room.]
[Walking towards the princess's room.]
[The door to the princess's room opens abruptly.]
(Guess what? My friend is here!)
Hi, Gabriel!
Gabriel (with a broad, gentle smile)- Yes, Robert? Is there anything you need?
No, but I wanted to tell you something. Best of luck, my friend!
Gabriel- Thank you very much! But could you give me a blessing?
Is that even legal? You know that a blessing boosts the abilities of the person receiving it according to the caster's power, right?
Gabriel (chuckling): Right, but I don't think your blessings would be that big of a deal. Just do it.
Okay.
(Taking a deep breath)With the power granted by the wielder of the universe,you may bestow me the power of tampering with universe itself-blesseth the one who stands in front of me and make anyone cursth who stands infront of the wielder of my blessing!*
[A strong light appears around Gabriel, envelops him, and causes him to collapse.]
[Thud]
What the heck?!
Princess (surprised)- What happened to him? Did you get rid of him? I mean, that's good, but you know he's the crown prince and will be the king of Ghilsané soon, right?!
No way! Do you think I tried to kill him? It was a normal blessing cast by a priest!
[Gabriel wakes up and immediately gets to his feet.]
(Astonished)Ahhh!!
Princess (in disbelief)- Is this a ghost?!
Gabriel-##################################################
(He is speaking too quickly to be understood.)
Princess: What the fuck is he blabbering about?!
Gabriel (angrily)- ###########!!!#####!#!#########!
[With that, he grabs the princess's hands very swiftly.]
Princess (in pain)- Ouch! What are you doing, Gabriel?!
(However, he doesn't listen and drags her away. He moves so quickly that it almost looks as though he is teleporting, although he isn't as fast as Michael in Hell.)

Thirty Minutes Later...
At the Church
Father Hemans- All members of the church, be ready! The All Combat is about to begin!
(With that, Father Hemans and I go into the tower.)
[Father Hemans and Kazama strike the bell.]
Father Poppens and Posporus- So, today's match will be between the future King of Ghilsané, Gabriel Ghilsané VI, and Arul Hellkeys!
[From one entrance comes Gabriel. He isn't exactly walking normally. He moves as though he is walking, but at a speed greater than the running speed of an average human. He is carrying a long wand, though it isn't long enough to touch the ground, with a green crystal embedded in it.]
[From the other entrance comes Arul Hellkeys, wearing a bright-red outfit and holding a medium-sized axe in each hand.]
Posporus (shouting at the top of his lungs)- Let the match begin!
(Even so, his voice comes out as a squeak.)
[They begin battling.]
Gabriel-###########
(Apparently, you need to recite an incantation to cast powerful spells, with one exception: Michael in Hell, the only magic user I've seen cast such a powerful spell without an incantation. But here, I don't even know what Gabriel just did. That couldn't have been an incantation.)
[A large ball of wind forms around Gabriel's wand. Arul Hellkeys dashes towards him, but Gabriel casts the spell directly at him. Arul falls to the ground.]
Arul Hellkeys-Ouch!
[With that, he stands up again and dashes forward at full speed. However, Gabriel simply turns his wand upside down, and its lower end goes straight through Arul's head...]
(I had never seen anyone die with my own eyes, let alone witnessed such a gruesome scene. The remains of Arul's brain splattered on the side of the wand, while blood and brain matter spilled onto the ground.)
Gabriel (looking at the scene in disbelief):
##################!!#####!
(He cries. This time, he runs—and this time, he actually teleports...)
(This time, Posporus cannot speak.)
Father Poppens-So, with that gruesome victory, we end this battle! Deaths are normal in the All Combat!
(I run to find Gabriel, but I see another girl running alongside me, also trying to find him. The girl is wearing a Phoenix pendant and a golden dress. She is excruciatingly beautiful, and she has the same eyes that Arul had in the moment he saw the wand. The girl is the victor's fiancée...)
