"Arran, that idiot!" Somebody cursed out loud, attracting the attention of everybody in the room.
Turning towards the origin of the curse, nobody was surprised to find out that the culprit who was being loud and attention-grabbing was none other than Charmy. It did not come as a surprise because, over the course of the second elimination round, Charmy would on regular intervals erupt with high emotions, stirring up a fuss and drawing attention to herself.
The people in the room were already used to it and since they could not do or say anything about this as she was a princess of the civilization, they all chose to ignore Charmy's antics.
As soon as everybody had confirmed that it was indeed Charmy who was stirring up a fuss, they immediately turned their heads and paid attention to the activities of the participants.
As for Eris who was standing beside Charmy at the moment and throughout all the times this had happened, she was already long numb to Charm
An hour had passed and the second elimination round was officially over.The small field where the participants who had cleared the second elimination round to rest was filled and all the pavilions were occupied. Counting roughly, the participants who had advanced to this stage numbered to about close to two thousand, and they were distributed individually throughout the various participants.These participants were either resting or eating the pills or delicacies so as to replenish their strength and stamina.Most of these participants had arrived in fairly good condition and they had not been very injured or exhausted when they had arrived, but there were some among the later participants who had been severely exhausted or injured when they had arrived in this field. Through these people, one could guess just how brutal and harrowing the competition had been at the end of the elimination round.Naturally, it was a given that as the second elimination ro
"If you ask me, then I think the first elimination round tested the most basic qualifications of all the participants in the ceremony. It is like how there is a cut-off point for admission in most institutions that determines the kind of results they accept. In this case, being able to clear the first elimination round is what qualifies us all to really participate in the ceremony properly.""For the second elimination round, it should have been a test meant to select the strong from the weak. This is normal since even if you are able to meet the qualifications to participate in the ceremony there would still be those who are naturally stronger than others. Still, the problem is that strength can be determined in different ways. Like for instance, there are people with powerful raw strength and there are also people who are not as strong as the others but still possess other advantages just like Reed who is very intelligent but whose strength in comparison is very lacking. Ta
A long red line that extended high into the sky separated the field from one end to the other. It was like the demarcation between life and death where one side of the line represented life and the other side represented death.On the side with the most participants, they stared with horror in their eyes as they saw everything on the other side get annihilated. Whether it was the participants who had been on the other side of the various pavilions that previously occupied the space there, everything was reduced to ash.Nobody knew when it first started but as the participants were coming to terms with the sudden destruction before them, suddenly, the red line started to extend towards the rest of the participants.That's right, slowly but surely, the red line of death started to creep towards the participants. for every second that passed, the red line of death would extend an extra meter forward, and following that everything it came across would be obliterated
Arran and Brianna were making their way through a region of dense black fog. The thickness of this fog was so much that nobody could see more than five meters around them.It was very easy to get lost in a fog like this and were it not for the fact that Brianna was holding onto Arran's hands, she would have already lost him a long time ago.Although Brianna could not see anything at all, she was not too bothered about this and she simply let Arran lead her through the fog. Occasionally, Brianna would be able to hear some movement in the fog like the shuffling of feet or the low whispers of voices in the dark. she knew that these sounds were made by the other participants who were also in the fog with them.Sometimes, there would be sounds of panic coming from the fog as participants bumped up against each other. Since visibility was very poor inside here as well as the fact that there were too many participants gathered together in one place, it was common for t
Run!Following this command, Arran held Brianna's hand tightly as he led her and sped into the fog ahead.Brianna obediently followed behind Arran and she did not even have the time to consider the dangers of rushing headlong into the fog. What occupied Brianna's thoughts right now was the skeletal arm ass well as the screams of the participants coming from the fog.As she was running through the fog with Arran, Brianna could see that there were more skeletal arms breaking through the earth trying to grab onto her feet. It was as if the sound of Brianna's feet striking against the ground was a signal for the skeletal arms underground to come out into the open. But this was not what terrified Brianna.The really terrifying thing was what followed appeared after the skeletal arm.Following the appearance of the skeletal arm, was the skull of some creature followed by the rest of the body of a skeleton.It was not surprising that the skeletal a
An undead uprising had occurred and countless undead skeletons crawled out of the earth and attacked the participants in the fog.With visibility being low, and there being panic due to the sudden attack of the undead skeletons, there was bound to be chaos.With the undead skeletons attacking the participants in large hordes, the participants retaliated indiscriminately, meaning that they did not care who or what they hit with their attacks. So far as anything so much as got within attacking distance of them, they would attack. Because of this, not only did the participants shave to watch out for the attacks of the undead skeletons, but they also had to make sure that they were not hit by the indiscriminate attacks of the other participants.Still, that was not where the main problem lay.The main problem facing the participants was that they could not stay in one place for very long. Not only was it a bad idea to stay in a place infested with the undead,
The time slowly counted down towards the first hour and the participants were still no closer to getting out of the fog. Packs of fearless undead skeletons attacked the participants one wave after another and although individually the undead skeletons did not pose much of a threat, with their unimaginably daunting numbers, the participants were on the verge of being overrun.Arran and Brianna were also fighting with all their might right now as they frantically tried their best to resist the attacks of the undead skeletons. With Arran's ability to control lightning, as well as his sensory abilities which helped the two of them in maintaining their mobility, the two of them were able to remain safe for the time being. But who knew how long this situation would last.As the two of them fought with all they had, Brianna was also looking at the current situation.Looking at the crowd of undead skeletons that came towards them from all sides, Brianna could feel her s
What is an ominous land?This was a term used to define a place where large amounts of negative energy of any kind gather.Not all lands with negative energy can be called ominous lands.Usually, ominous lands are naturally born due to outside interference and it takes countless years for any land to accumulate enough negative energy to be considered an ominous land. the requirements for this are fairly strict.In the case of an ominous land of death, it is a place where countless deaths had taken place over a long period of time to the extent that the death energy generated had reached a point where it is no longer possible to purify or dissipate naturally.The death energy that should have filled this land completely was instead hidden deep in the earth where it would absorb and nurture undead creatures leaving only a physical manifestation in the form of deep dark fog. That was the only way to explain things and in most cases, there would be no
