It was a race between both parties with one trying his hardest to fly upwards and out of the encirclement in time and the other trying to prevent its prey from escaping.
The Charybdis was mightily enraged by Arran's earlier attack on it and it doubled its effort to close the dome as soon as possible. The amount of damage that it had suffered from Arran's attack was naturally minimal and it did not actually hurt it. Instead, it was the momentary pain and feeling of numbness in its tentacle that had slowed its attack that had truly enraged the Charybdis.
Even if the Charybdis had only slowed down for a split second due to the lightning attack, that was enough time for Arran to reduce the distance between himself and the top of the dome by quite a lot.
Arran after seeing that his attack was effective against the Charybdis, he was delighted but he did not hesitate to use this tiny window of opportunity to close the distance.
Before Arran had only been relying
Iaido.On Earth, this was a very famous term among the martial arts practitioners.Originating from Japan, Iaido is an art of Japanese sword fighting that focused on the awareness of one's state and its environment with the purpose of quickly drawing the sword from the scabbard to hit and slay your opponents before sheathing the sword back into the scabbard.In layman's terms, Iaido is a sword drawing technique focusing on one's awareness of his surroundings as well as swiftly drawing the sword to slay your enemies.In its case, the main part of Iaido that Arran focused on was the swiftness of the move.This technique that Arran was preparing to perform right now was a move that needed Arran to pull all of his focus and intent into gathering his power onto his sword. This needed a high level of focus on his surroundings and himself and it was only when Arran's power had been gathered to a limit that he would be able to deliver a swift strike to his
There was silence both in the venue of the chosen ceremony and on the live stream broadcast platform.Nobody had expected things to turn out the way they did with Arran.For a minute there it seemed like Arran's journey in this ceremony was coming to an end but nobody expected for Arran to pull off such a reversal.It was like when you were having a test in class but there was this particular question you did not know the answer to. You felt like you knew the answer to the question but you just couldn't remember it and since it was almost already time to turn in your paper you decide to forget about it and instead review your other answers.Then suddenly, as if you received inspiration from somewhere, you finally remember the answer to the question. With the limited amount of time left you will be in a hurry to fill in your answer so that you can turn in a full paper.That thrill you feel when you are writing in a hurry... where your heart would be
"Now now, that's enough both of you. There's no need to start tearing into each other over something you have no control of. So the World Essence Pulse Bracer has already chosen its guardian beforehand, what's the big deal?" This was Councilwoman Henrietta speaking."Instead of beating yourself up over this, I'm more inclined to figure out just what it is about this young Kingsman that makes him so special. I feel like he is becoming more and more mysterious and I just want to dig into him and figure him out don't you think?The rest of the council members who heard what Councilwoman Henrietta said shivered slightly.They remembered the kind of woman she was and they started to feel very sorry for Arran. The council members knew that he was about to meet a hurricane dressed in pretty clothes.But apart from that, the council members also realized that Councilwoman Henrietta was right.Since the world essence pulse bracer had already made its choice
Seeing Lucas collapsing on the ground like that, nobody paid him any mind at all.For somebody who was not able to deal with the consequences of his own actions, people only saw him as being an immature and spoiled brat and nobody cared if he would suffer at the hands of his big sister later or not. All people knew was that at this moment, Lucas had lost all his face and he had embarrassed not only himself but also his sister and family.Nobody would ever take him seriously ever again.The episode with Lucas was only a minor distraction and soon everybody had forgotten about him and his bet. Even Eris and Charmy who had been in conflict with him did not bother to even bring up their earlier squabble.Right now, the focus of everybody was on Arran and they were very much interested in finding out what the second elimination round was.It should be noted that the storm had already subsided and the other participants were already resuming their journe
Like any other planet, the center of a planet was its core that was filled with heat and magma. this would also mean that there would be volcanoes appearing on the planet.In the case of the Aeth mother planet, all its volcanoes are located on the ocean and it was through these volcanoes that some of the smaller islands were formed.Actually, all the floating landforms on the planet were originally formed on the ocean like any other planet in the universe. It was only with the influence of heavy magnetic activity that caused the landforms to be uprooted from the ocean when they had reached a certain scale and provided certain conditions were met.This was also why there were no active volcanoes on the floating landforms with all previous volcanoes having died out. Still, this did not mean that there were no more volcanoes on the ocean.Every now and then there would be volcanoes appearing on the ocean from the previously hidden underwater volcanoes which
A few minutes after Arran left the ocean floor to fly upwards following the water stream, the finish line of the first elimination round welcomed a new arrival.This person was a young man who was of a medium build.The young man had black flowing long hair and a scholarly air around him that set him apart from all the other participants in this ceremony that had the look of warriors at the first glance.He had in his nose a small frame of spectacles and his small build made him seem like the type that was most likely to be found behind a desk than on the field.All in all, this newcomer gave one the impression that they were generally weak and could be easily bullied or ignored. were it not for the pair of intelligent-looking eyes that hid behind his spectacles, nobody would ever look twice at him.The audience who had previously paid more attention to Arran was surprised when this person reached the finish line. this was because there was still a
Arran took some time to observe the various tunnel entrances so as to see if he could figure anything out but no matter how long he looked, Arran was not able to get anything just from watching the reason being that first of all he was currently unable to use his sensory abilities and two the council would never make it so easy for the participants.If the participants were going to figure things out right from the start then that would beat the meaning of this competition.Seeing as the only way he was going to figure just what the second elimination round was about, Arran decided not to dawdle anymore and instead head inside.With a flap of his wings, Arran made his way steadily towards the face of the mountain that was riddled with different tunnel entrances.Arran stopped just short of the tunnels and hovered outside as he looked at the entrance.He was trying to decide on which entrance he should enter through and if he would be able to find a
Chasing behind Arran was a kind of creature known as the drill Worm. This creature is a kind of underground critter that inhabited the subterranean world.Drill Worms were a common species in the universe and there were also all kinds of related albeit different species from the same genus.Drill Worms mainly survived by moving around inside the earth as they used their giant front mouth to eat their way through almost any substance that could be found underground. The stomachs of the Drill Worms contained a powerful acid that could digest anything it ingests given enough time and their appetite was known to be very diverse since they would eat anything regardless of what they were.Normally a tunnel excavated by a Drill Worm is very easy to spot since as they Drill Worms ate through the ground and digested the earth in their stomachs making the tunnel very smooth and even, they would also secrete slime-like substances through their skin which was their only mea
