Ciel followed where Toshii Wanran and Xerxex Hiperia were looking at. He was met by the gaze of Velicia. Sneering secretly from the cowardice of Toshii Wanran, his agitation had long been doused by the young overlord’s actions.“Let us test your theories on the battle stage during the Advancing Round.” Ciel could not be bothered by Toshii Wanran’s childish antics. When he turned around, he did not forget to glance at Xerxex Hiperia before giving the latter an acknowledging nod. He strode toward the ever-silent and enigmatic Velicia Aberon.“Those old folks are ridiculous,” spat Ciel as he pushed the wheelchair away from the crowd. His voice was low enough not to be heard by anyone except Velicia.Velicia grunted. Her chin lay atop her palm as she looked ahead without putting anything or anyone before her seriously. “You have nothing to be afraid of. You can beat them with your strength and agility… though it will be a tad bit hassle for you compared to using your God’s Eyes. But think

As soon as the matrix was displayed, the arena’s ground shook. Every warrior near the vicinity jumped away from the center of the shaking exterior. When the competing warriors and even the audience exclaimed in panic, the surrounding coordinators and guards of the event did not seem to be fazed at all.Seeing this, the warriors immediately calmed down followed by the majority of the audience.Another huge screen appeared at the center of the arena, showing everyone the new rules of the advancing rules. Despite the smoke that shrouded the arena’s battleground, the big and bright words on the huge screen allowed everyone to read it clearly.Compared to the previous announcement, there were two new rules again.The first newly added rule: The light will be switched off in the battleground, rendering zero visibility for the warriors.The onlookers would not have to worry, given that a dozen of night mode cameras appeared. The screens intended for the audience were not visible to the warri

“Young Master Regalia, please spare me. Please spare me. Please be kind and let me go this time. Young Master, please spare me, please spare me.”It was at this moment that the light in the arena for Group A lit up.The light was too bright so Toshii Wanran and the other warriors had to squint their eyes. The light lit up the young men that had fallen to the ground before this.Their arms were all in a weird position. All of them lay on the ground with painful expressions on their faces. They weren’t able to lift their hands to take off their clothes that were stuffed in their mouths. They could only move their bodies and legs against the ground while making sounds from their throats. It was fairly easy for Toshii Wanran and the other people to think that they were human-eating monsters crawling around them.No one cared about them. Toshii Wanran was so frightened that he kneeled to beg for mercy. Why would he have the time to bother about these people?Cielo stepped in front of the s

There were four people who successfully entered the Semifinals Round of the Trials of Eights. Two warriors came from the hidden clans, one warrior from the free city, and another warrior from a major tribe.The stadium was packed with people from all walks of life. Some were locals while the others were from the free cities and major tribes; they were there to cheer for their people. After all, it was a great honor already to survive this far.Flagships from the remaining warriors littered the bleachers. And some even painted their faces with the colors of the emblems represented by the respective families of the warriors.Blue for the Regalia Clan. Red for the Aberon Clan. Green for the Logunes Free City. And black for the Hiperia Tribe.Above the arena were five screens. The center among the five was the biggest one. This will show the close-up fight for the audience’s convenience. Two screens which were slightly smaller than the center were situated on the east side while there wer

On the other side of the Avici Hell…The Wisp Queen could not kill Velicia even if she wanted to. When Velicia revived for the 118th time, all thanks to her contracted beast, both she and the Wisp Queen lost all their patience.Velicia’s unique skill was the Eternal Revival. No matter how many times she died, she would revive immediately. Of course, this was not an omnipotent skill. Like Cielo Regalia’s God’s Eyes, her Eternal Revival would cause her a backlash.The more she would use the Eternal Revival, the more she would feel a pain as if she was being eaten by millions of ants inside her bones. This was also one of the major reasons why she would use the wheelchair. It was because of the pains from her toes up to her kneecaps. Day in and day out, the suffering was forever.Eternal Revival… eternal pain.Should she keep on using the Eternal Revival, the pain would spread more in her body.The first time she used it, it was when she was young. The first time she revived, she regaine
