The dust settled and everybody could see Hyde kneeling on the stage, using his natal weapon to prop himself up.
On Hyde's face, cold sweat could be seen dotting the lines of his forehead, and there was a look of shock and surprise in his eyes.
Right now, Hyde was in disbelief...
As he looked at Arran up in the air, it was like he was looking at a monster in Aeth skin.
A storm was going through his head right now as questions filled his thoughts.
"How is that possible!"
"That sword strike was so fast that I was barely able to react at all! Just how powerful is he?"
Hyde could not believe just how much power Arran was displaying now.
Currently, Hyde was thinking about how he had just been in danger a few moments ago. Just then, after he had broken the force field around Arran and was about to hit him with his weapon, Hyde had not expected Arran's attack to arrive just at that moment.
In fact, that was not what concerned Hy
Hyde was surprised when Arran addressed him and for a minute he didn't know how to respond. He had always thought that Arran was the serious type who was only focused on winning the match, which was why he had never spoken before.Hyde thought that Arran was the same type as he was, since that was how Hyde really was like.All Hyde could be concerned with right now was to win this match so he didn't have any other thought to make idle talk with his opponent, who trying to defeat him.After being stunned for a short moment, Hyde quickly came back to his senses and looked at Arran seriously. He was thinking about something as his eyes looked Arran up and down. It was as if Hyde was trying to figure out if Arran was trying to trick him by talking to him.After thinking carefully and realizing that there was no harm in telling Arran the name of his natal weapon, Hyde finally spoke."You're right. This is my natal weapon. It is a snake staff and its nam
Hyde's was very steady on the stage...His stance seemed to be solid and unshakable, like a divine mountain that couldn't be moved. No matter how hard or how fast Arran hit Hyde with his sword, he was always able to receive Arran's attacks with relative ease.At this moment, it would seem like Hyde had the advantage over Arran. Since Hyde was mostly only defending himself, he was consuming much less energy than Arran was. Not only that, but because of Hyde's earth heart talent, which he was pushing to its limit, he was resistant to the paralytic effects of Arran's attacks that were imbued with lightning. This was Hyde's movement was not affected, and he was able to meet each one of Arran's attacks head-on.The only thing was that Hyde had gradually fallen into a passive position once more due to Arran's superior speed.Arran's attacks came like an unstoppable storm blowing fiercely and unrestrained on Arran.The intervals between Arran's attacks we
The battle continued... Arran's lightning sword barrage was going nonstop as he landed hit after hit on Hyde's body. faced against this storm of attacks, Hyde had long ago given up on retaliating, as there was no chance for him to do so. Right now, all Hyde could do was defend himself passively from Arran's attacks. That's all he could really do at all! Like that, a few minutes had passed, and Arran was still going. Arran's face was calm and there were no signs of fatigue or exhaustion on his handsome face at all. Seeing as there was not even a bead of sweat dotting Arran's handsome face, people started to realize that something was wrong. Right now, ever since Arran had started attacking with his lightning storm barrage, more than two minutes had passed already, but he was still going and there were no signs that he would be stopping anytime soon. This alarmed a lot of people and that was when they started to consider the fact that Hy
Hyde lost...When he finally came to realize this, Hyde started to feel a lot of different emotions welling up in his chest, making him feel stuffed and uncomfortable. Among these emotions, there was unwillingness, anger, annoyance but most of all, Hyde was just feeling disappointed.All of Hyde's feelings were too mixed and complicated that even he himself didn't really know what to make of them, but if there was one thing Hyde knew, it was that his defeat was well deserved.Hyde did not hate Arran after losing to him, neither did he blame him for eliminating him from the tournament. Although it was a pity that he wouldn't be able to continue on for the rest of the ceremony nor would he be able to fulfill the wish of his master, still, despite all this, Hyde didn't hate Arran at all.For the most part, Hyde simply hated the fact that he wasn't strong enough.He was angry at himself for being too weak to defeat a peer of his.Hyde didn't con

"Hey Arran, how do you think these participants will react when they find out that you hadn't even used your full power to fight at all? Thinking about it now, it would be quite a hilarious scene to witness. I can almost imagine the looks on their faces already!"As Renee spoke, she had a glazed look in her eyes as she raised her head to the sky and started imagining the looks on the other participants' faces when they fight Arran and realize that he was more powerful than they had thought. Just thinking about how much despair Arran's next opponent would be in as he found out that the strategy he had come up to deal with Arran was not going to be effective because Arran was more powerful than he had imagined.The thought of seeing something like that really excited Renee. But more than that, Renee was actually excited about something else.Looking at Arran with fervor, Renee said to him, "As much as it would be very interesting to watch other people fall into de
The first round of the tournament had ended. After 58 matches and 116 participants fought to determine the winners, it was finally time to move on to the second round of the tournament.This time, there were 59 participants left after the first round. One should not forget that in the first round, Brianna had drawn a bye, so she had not participated in any matches and had automatically advanced to the second round.Right now, the sequence of the matches, as well as the opponents of the participants, will be determined by a lottery once again. Also, in order to speed up the progress of the tournament, there was another element added to the lottery.This time, instead of one participant drawing a bye and automatically moving to the third round, Brianna, who had drawn a bye in the first round, would actually have to fight one more additional battle to determine the placements of the third round. This also means that another participant would draw the short end of t
The signal for the first match of the second round sounded out and both participants to fight in the first round started making their way onto the stage. As it turns out, the first participants who would be opening the stage for the second round of the tournament was Brianna who had drawn a bye in the first round prevention her from fighting then.Brianna's opponent was somebody who had fought in the first round, but her performance had not been anything outstanding compared to the rest of the participants.Like most participants here, during her match, she had struggled to win against her opponent as they went back and forth. It was only by gaining a little advantage over her opponent that this participant had just barely been able to secure a victory. At most, she had only been able to avoid suffering a serious injury from that fight, unlike some other participants.Brianna's opponent in the match was Jenna, the teammate of Hilda and Hyde, who from the very be
