Chapter 102: End of the round, Onwards to the Quarter-Final.
Athan was currently facing an injured 8th-grade Origin core beast.
The beast was a huge silver bird with a fire and a green pattern on its body.
" Combusting Burst steps."
He boosted his speed and dodged the colorful blades released by the beasts, and threw his chakrams coated with Hydro Blitz.
The two chakrams sharply flew towards the beast as they cut through the fierce winds before cutting both of its wings.
*Screeeeeeeeeeee.*
After finishing it off, Athan took out its core before storing it in his Wrist band.
+80 points.
Athan: 920 Points, Rank: 64
" Finally, my first 8th-grade origin core. "
Athan looked at the list and saw that Avelia\'s rank was 264th.
Just then, a notification appeared on all student\'s wrist band.
[ The round will end in 24 hours. ]
[ 23:59 ]
An additional countdown appeared on the display of the wrist band.
HP: 1000
Cores Points: 920
[ 23:59 ] Until the round is over.
Suddenly he sensed two people\'s presence behind him.
He swiftly turned around and put up a Pentagon God\'s Sanctuary and used Blood Armor on top of his Black Dragon Scaled Armor.
The Pentagon god\'s Sanctuary was a powerful defensive spell from Pentagon Spirit Flowing Method.
It creates a square barrier around him that is intertwined with countless strings of five elements; Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Air.
The Pentagon God\'s Sanctuary is a complicated barrier spell connecting itself to Athan after it is formed.
There are four modes to this Spell.
1st Anti-Penetration, 2nd Anti-Blast, 3rd Anti-Corrosive, 4th Anti-Shock.
He can change its structure according to the type of attack it is hit with. If it\'s a penetrative type attack, Athan can change the barrier into an Anti-Penetrative type to block the penetrative attacks. If it\'s a shockwave type attack that could crumble the barrier\'s inner structure, then Athan could change the barrier into an Anti-Shock type, which would shrink the barrier and strengthen its inner structure to resist the shockwave attacks.
But its weaknesses are also apparent, so Athan also used his other defensive spells inside the Pentagon God\'s Sanctuary.
" Looks like this kid is scared just by sensing our presence, Hahaha. "
Scornful words accompanied by mocking laughs echoed towards Athan.
He saw two middle-aged men walking towards him with a smile on there, and they looked at Athan as if they were looking at their prey.
Both men wore similar clothes with just slight differences, and They didn\'t seem to be from Myriad Stars Academy.
One of them looked at Athan and spoke with a wicked smile, " Kid, Take out your valuable things, or we\'ll send you to the spaceship up there. "
Athan frowned and spoke, " Don\'t you know the penalty of attacking fellow students? "
" Hahaha, Kid. There is a penalty only if we kill you, But if we just attack you until your HP drops to 20, you will be healed and transported to the spaceship, so there\'s no penalty. "
Another middle-aged man with Voilet hair spoke, " Well, if you obediently give us your belongings from that Digiband, then we won\'t attack you, and you can continue to gather points. "
Athan looked at them as his eyes turned cold.
But he didn\'t do as they said and diffused all of his defensive spells, making the two middle-aged men confused.
" What are you doing, kid? "
Athan cracked his join and said with a cold grin, " Nothing, I\'m just about to get rid of the two annoying flies that are disturbing me. "
Right after that, Athan disappeared with a woosh sound and appeared in the sky.
The Nightmare wings combined with Combusting Burst steps were just too fast, and he was confident of outspending most of the peak stage Origin Plane practitioners.
Two middle-aged men were dumbfounded at the Athan\'s speed, and hurridly separated themselves before taking their position and flew towards Athan from both sides.
\' Looks like they are experienced in combat. \'
But Athan just smiled as they flew around them without attacking them.
Both middle-aged men could not catch up to Athan no matter what they did, and their spells could also not hit Athan.
Though he was hit by one spell, his Blood Armor Barely cracked, and he knew that they were small fries at Advanced Stage of Origin Intent Plane.
After a minute of flying around, He stopped and descended to the ground.
The two middle-aged men also descended. One stood at his left side while another at his right side.
Seeing this, Athan smiled and thought internally, \' Just as planned. Now let\'s see if my calculations are right. \'
The two middle-aged men ad dark faces as one of them spoke, " What\'s the deal with you, kid? "
They didn\'t notice Athan\'s Energy, so they failed to notice that he was more powerful than them.
Actually, Athan used spells while flying around, but he masked them with his cloud energy, space energy, and a bit of mystic force.
" If you two don\'t want to return to that spaceship up there right now, Then obediently take out everything from your Digiband. "
Hearing Athan\'s words, Both middle-aged men were dumbfounded before they started laughing.
\' Well, I expected them not to believe me. \'
With a helpless smile, Athan said, " Alright, I have no more time to waste so...Bye and don\'t judge people by their looks and age next time. "
Right after he finished speaking, Both middle-aged men sensed overwhelming danger.
*Shashashashas...*
A Rain of small blue bullets shot towards the two middle from 45 degrees on top of them as they couldn\'t even dodge them.
Athan suddenly frowned a bit as he used his repel Intent to create a field on the top of their heads.
\' Phew, I miscalculated a bit, but it\'s ok now. \'
Water Impact Scatter rained on the two men as bloody holes formed in their legs and hands, and some also hit their back before boring a hole in their abdomen.
Their HP instantly hit 20 as healing serum kicked in before they were wrapped in silver light and disappeared.
With an excited smile, Athan thought, \' Hell yeah...! Time intent is indeed awesome. I feel like I can do many tricks with it. "
He then continued to move, and soon he encountered another beast.
...
Earlier...
While he was flying around, he used Impact Scatter four times from both of his hands, which means forty small bullets.
But he stopped those bullets in two different places by using time energy on them while using space and cloud energy to cover them completely.
He also used Speed Intent on the bullets to increase their speed after the Time stop wears off from the spells.
After doing this, He descended at a spot, and the two middle-aged men also stood around at the place where he calculated after descending.
But when the four Impact Scatters was released from the time stop, he discovered that his calculations were a bit wrong, and some bullets had a chance to hit their heads, so he used repel intent to protect their heads.
After that, The Game was over for them as Water Impact Scatter hit them in the back ( abdomen ), Legs, and hands.
...
Hours upon hours passed by as Athan continued to hunt the beasts speedily, His Crystals constantly spinning to recover his spent energies.
Only 10 minutes were left until the end of the round.
Athan: 1390 Points, Rank: 32
He was lucky as he encountered quite a few Grade 8 Origin Core beasts on this last day compared to the previous two days.
He then searched for Avelia and was surprised to find her ranking at 165th place.
\' Her rank went up a lot. I wonder how many Intents she comprehended and at what level? I\'m pretty sure her Space Intent was at Master level recently as she is also hiding something that definitely has the ability to speed up and power up her comprehension, Just not as fast as me. \'
\' Whatever, Everyone has their secrets. \'
He then simply waited for the last 10 minutes to pass as there was no point in continuing.
...
[ The round is over. Brace yourself as you will be teleported to the Spaceship in 3 seconds. ]
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]
[ 0 ]
...
All students were teleported to the Giant Spaceship in the space and appeared in a huge hall.
The hall was filled with students, and A huge projectile of a man in military uniform appeared.
He looked in his early forties and had short black hair.
" Congratulations to the thousand of you for passing this round. "
After he was finished speaking, A new hologram appeared as It showed a Huge Stage with numerous holes and dark clouds hovering over the whole stage.
[ This is the Devastation Stage where the quarter-finals will be held. The quarter-finals are simple; You will eliminate other participants by pushing them into the hole or if their HP hit 200. ]
[ Flying is forbidden. If you fly, You will be eliminated. The Quarter-Final will be finished when 100 participants are left on the stage. ]
[ We will arrive at the Devastation Stage after 10 hours, and after arriving there, The Quarter-Final will start immediately. ]
