Arran, Brianna, and Reed finally stopped standing around and went to explore the waiting room.

As they made their way to the various pavilions, the three of them entered into the one that was the closest to them.

Upon entering the pavilion, what greeted them were different lounge chairs meant for relaxing as well as various assortments of delicacies and treasures.

There was a central table placed right in the middle of the pavilion which had different kinds of foods and drinks. These foods and drinks were not ordinary delicacies as they were made from highly nutritious ingredients that contained a lot of energy.

The foods and drinks were mostly made from the bodies of powerful Direbeasts as well as natural treasure herbs and plants and they were meant to supplement the energy that the participants had lost during the ceremony. Naturally, apart from being nutritious, they would definitely be very delicious since they had been made by the hands of the most

    "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.

    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

    The End… For Now!

    The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w

    Final Chapter

    Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she

    World Will

    The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort

    Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent

    Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2

    With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

    Full Awakening… The Spark Of The Universe’s Origin

    Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E

    Final Death Throes 2

    In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

    Final Death Throes

    Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
