Chapter 1062: Patches And Beatrice Final.
"If you keep using moves like that, I'll only last about three minutes, right now, five minutes is my absolute limit," Beatrice complained, clearly unhappy that he had fired that poison beam at the Earth Takeda when other methods would have sufficed.
While she was busy scolding him, the Wind Takeda was already manipulating the air currents to stabilize the Water Takeda in air, who still seemed to be in pain.
"I have to admit, I never expected someone like you to push me this far. But clearly, I can't keep fighting you this way," the Wind Takeda said as he descended, deliberately creating distance between them.
"Then come at me!" Patches replied, swinging his sword, as a massive crescent arc of Qi burst from the blade and shot toward the Wind Takeda.
Yet unlike earlier, his expression remained calm, almost resolved.
"For this battle... I accept it as my loss, even if I end up winning it." Wind Takeda said while staring straight at Beatrice, clearly she had been able to make him show more than he would have wanted.

In one fluid motion, he drew the katana from his left waist using his right hand and executed a diagonal upward slash, it was so fast that many mages couldn't even tell the blade had left its sheath until they saw the reinforced wind blade that followed, amplifying the Qi.
Patches reacted instantly, swinging his own Qi-coated blade to deflect the strike, as the Blade Qi which was reinforced with the wind blade spell flew into the air until it crashed against the arena shield.
Clang!!!
Before the audience could process the exchange, Takeda was already in front of him, slashing relentlessly. Strike after strike came in rapid succession, each one aimed at breaking Patches' balance.
Whenever Patches attempted a counterattack, Takeda simply parried and pressed forward again, maintaining the initiative and refusing to give him breathing room.
At times he even swung the Kusarigama scythe around, but when the crowd looked closely, they realized something was different, he had done something to his weapons as the chain a the end of the Kusarigama was now attached to the hilt of his katana, creating a hybrid like weapon.
As the fight dragged on, he began casting spells they had never seen him use before, and those spells looked more like the combinations of both wind and water elements.
Storm bursts which flew more like water bombs compressed with wind elements, aqua gusts, which were blade-like water currents formed through the idea of the wind manipulation of wind blade spell as even the execution was the same way.
Patches responded in kind, casting earth spikes and poison beams as the two clashed fiercely across the battlefield. Despite the intensity, both fighters wore faint smiles, clearly enjoying the challenge.
But about three minutes later, Patches' aura suddenly faded, as Beatrice fainted.
With her unconscious, the mana flow sustaining him vanished, turning his body stiffened, and his strength dropping sharply until he could only use his muscle strength, and before long, he was overwhelmed and defeated.
