The people who were currently personally present in the venue where the first elimination round of the chosen ceremony were discussing amongst themselves. They were talking about the performance of the participants in this first round and as the discussion flowed all kinds of opinions and guesses about how many would be eliminated and how many would clear this round was being said but there was one thing that was not discussed here and that was Arran.
At this point, nobody had any expectations for Arran and it was already expected that his journey in this ceremony was going to come to an end right here. Because of this nobody was willing to spare him any mind at all.
There were only a few people that were still discussing Arran and except for Eris and Charmy who were still focused on observing Arran. The only other group of people that were discussing Arran was the group of Dexter Mycroft and his companions from the breaking dawn royal college.
Right now Dexter
Roar!!Boom!!Arrggh!!"Everybody hold on! The warriors in the front pin that dire beast down, defenders prevent it from using its tail in its sweeping attacks. Those at the back what are you doing? Don't let up with your attacks, keep outputting damage on it. If you're still thinking of holding back your strength then get out so that you will not be a burden for the rest of us."The sounds of fighting and the deep guttural roar of a beast could be heard for a thousand miles as well as the screams of rage and despair that resembled the chorus of a war-torn battleground.On the ocean surface, facing off against a group of countless participants for the chosen ceremony was a behemoth of massive proportions.This monster stood at a height of two hundred meters and it was shaped like a ball with a diameter of one hundred meters. At the end of this ball was a fifty-meter-long tail that was huge and packed with spikes and gross protrusions.
As soon as Arran made his move and flew up into the dark clouds above, it drew the attention of those who were paying attention to him. Once they saw that Arran had finally gotten off his ass and made a move, they became very relieved.Although they did not understand the reason for him awaiting all this time, they knew that it had something to do with this storm that had just suddenly started without any warning.Speaking of the storm, everybody was surprised. This included all the participants and the people watching the ceremony in the vicinity of at home from the live broadcast.In the case of the audience, they were wondering if this may have been one of the arrangements of the council that had planned this ceremony as an obstacle for the participants to challenge. If that was so then it was very much welcome by all the audience since it would add another element of interest to the whole competition, and if it was not planned by the council then all the sam
No matter how unbelievable it was for Arran to venture into the storm clouds that were surrounded by lightning like that, the fact remains that it was happening and it did not take long before everybody was aware of this.When more and more people found out about Arran's actions, the predominant feeling was shock and surprise before excitement settled in.The thing about the unexpected appearance of the storm was that although it added new elements and variables to the competition... like the appearances of the ocean overlords that were usually in deep slumber in the depths of the ocean... even with these variables added, it was not as if the participants were fools who would just expose themselves out in the open for danger to meet them.Even without putting the ocean overlords into consideration, staying out under the storm was very dangerous on its own since you never know if a rogue bolt of lightning might be attracted to you giving you an intimate feeling a
The small commotion caused by Lucas as he defended himself against his sister Beatrice drew the attention of those close to them who turned to watch as the situation played out.Two of these people that were attracted by this were naturally Eris and Charmy who were originally not that far away. When the two of them heard what Lucas was saying about Arran, they became so mad that it was as if somebody had insulted their parents right in their faces.Charmy even had the urge to go over there right now to give Lucas a good beat down right in front of the whole crowd. She was unafraid of causing a scene and only wanted to give Lucas a piece of her mind. Were it not for Eris who was holding her back, Charmy would have already carried out her plans.Charmy struggled to release her hand from Eris's grip and when she could not do so, she said to her through tightly gritted teeth."Let me go right now Eris, I need to give that brat a piece of my mind. Didn't you h
As always Arran was unaware of the commotion that his actions had caused. He was wholly focused on maneuvering his way through this storm.Actually, there were no ulterior motives to Arran's actions that made him do things the way he did them. While others were speculating about Arran's reasons for doing things in such a controversial way... coming up with various absurd ideas like how Arran just wanted to show off, and how he was not taking this competition seriously and was only looking for a thrill in the midst of danger... all Arran ever thought about that motivated him to take the drastic actions that he did was simply to clear this first round in the quickest way possible and securing an advantage.Arran knew very well his own capabilities very well and he knew that he was not the strongest person here. While he may not be the weakest, it was a fact that Arran's chances of winning all four elimination rounds were very slim, and if he were to run into a slightly s
Seeing such a long-ass giant tentacle break through the surface of the ocean and heading towards Arran sent a wave of shock through everybody paying attention to Arran.There was an uproar in the hall and on the broadcast channel as all sorts of gasps and exclamations came out from the audience."What!! What the hell is that?""Ahh! I can't believe what I'm seeing, it's so terrifying!""My gosh, that handsome Kingsman is about to be eaten!"Other than the surprise that everybody else was feeling, Lucas was also looking at this scene, and at first, he was also shocked by this sudden development, but after the shock had passed he immediately came to his sense and realized what was happening.As soon as he realized the severity of the issue, Lucas burst into wild unrestrained laughter as he pointed at Arran who was being shown on the screen."Hahaha, look at that. The heavens agree with me. What did I say previously? That he would not be
Time was still moving forward and nobody would wait for either Arran or the audience to sort out their thoughts.Just as the tentacle finally retreated into the ocean, in the next moment the surface of the ocean erupted and two tentacles flew out of it once again.The speed at which the tentacles traveled was so fast that by the time they had breached the ocean until Arran noticed, they had already reached him and he was only left with a small window to reacts.Thankfully Arran had never let his guard down for even an instant and he was able to just barely evade the attack.As, soon as Arran evaded the attack made by the two tentacles he immediately started moving again as he flew forward in the sky. This turned out to be the correct move because unlike before, the monster hidden in the ocean did not wait until its two tentacles were retracted before it immediately used another two tentacles to attack Arran once again.If Arran had still stayed in
The storm was still raging wildly and the ocean was disturbed by turbulent waves and earth-shattering winds. Lightning flashed and its white brilliance illuminated the gloomy darkness for a short moment to reveal the hideous face of the night.To the far reached and corners where the storm stretched, not a single soul could be seen outside as everything that had breath had found some crevice to hide or had burrowed deep into the depths of the ocean to hide and wait out the storm.Occasionally there would be the shadows of massive creatures revealed by the brief flashes of lightning in the sky that could be seen prowling the ocean waters looking for the unfortunate few that had not been able to find shelter from the storm in time, patrolling the oceans like overlords in their own territory.These overlords did not seem to mind the storm at all and they even treated it as a call to wake up from their slumber and feed.In one part of the ocean, there was a d
