"B...but elder Jang, even if... I'm sure they'll still like some rest. We can always do this tomorrow- "Elder Carlos we didn't come here to waste time. Please respect my opinion and let's start the battle royale" Elder Jang cut of elder Carlos with a serious face. "Y..ye" Elder Carlos nodded. He knew there was no convincing elder Jang at this point, he had no choice but to accept the challenge. "It's unavoidable" Elder Carlos said to his students. They all looked tired and some were even sitting down to retain energy. Harith noticed this and asked Cho cheong but she too had no idea, only Baxia seemed to have a faint idea of what was going on. "You know what we planned, try as best as possible to avoid elimination" Elder Carlos said to his students and walked back to elder Jang. "We're ready" He said in a not so confident voice. Elder Jang smiled, he then looked at Sao gang and nodded. With a firm stance he brought his arm out from his rob
Three Whirlwind sect students had formed a wall around a student while the remaining five fought alongside Santiago. "What is the meaning of this?" Elder Carlos asked as he looked at Elder Jang with a questioning face. "The meaning of what?" Elder Jang responded. "T...this! All of this! This isn't how the battle royale should be fought!" Elder Carlos was very annoyed. Each person was supposed to pick an opponent and fight and then when it had reached a certain time or the eliminations had become plenty then they would group up. That was what he had thought his students! But elder Jang was breaking the rules and forcing his students to group up immediately. "And how should it be fought?" Elder Jang kept his cool and asked. "I...it should be- "And who say it should be that way?" Elder Jang cut him off before he could answer. "...." Elder Carlos was left speechless by the question. He couldn't answer because the question had no particular answ
Fear gripped the hearts of the two students. Juan was still charging up his attack while their teammate had been eliminated. They were the only two left to protect the mage now. "What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Diego shouted as he threw his staff in the air. The staff made contact with Harith's hammer and Harith was pushed back from the impact. He fell to the floor but landed on his feet and got ready to attack again. The two students had been in a daze for a while but Diego's voice had clicked their consciousness. They had to do everything possible to let Juan prepare his attack. Juan's attack would be able to take out atleast four or five members of the opponent sect, then they would go on the defensive till the battle royale ends. That was part of their strategy. Another student came to help Diego and they became four all together guarding Juan. They didn't care about fighting at all, they couldn't even fight. An air practitioner could never compare to a
"What?!" Elder Carlos gasped. Juan and Harith's energy had completely disappeared, it was very clear they were not anywhere near. But how's it possible?! The two were just here a second ago and a red glow had made them disappear. How??! Elder Jang narrowed his eyes. Yun Shin's forearm was bleeding and his face expressed visible pain, he seemed to be struggling to hold on to something that very clearly posed a great danger to his health. This was the first time Elder Jang was seeing The Great Zoning Out in action, it certainly didn't leave much to the eye. "Where did you take Juan to you bastard!" One for eh students shouted and charged at Yun shin. He had clearly seen Yun shin perform some kind of ritual that had taken Juan and the other kid, he had to do something about it fast! Yun shin stared as the boy ran forward, he was barely keeping focus to maintain the art long enough, he didn't even have enough energy to fight this other student again. Cho
Heavy breathing accompanied The strangeness Harith was feeling as he was plunged into a new environment. Orange light lit up the surroundings providing vision for the inhabitants. Harith looked around could notice orange walls surrounding the space, they seemed to be the source of the orange light. "This must be the Great Zoning out...." Harith said as he felt the wall, the sturdiness being very clear from his touch. It would be very hard to break. But as he engaged in his his observation he could hear a sort of ragged breathing coming from he other side of the structure. Looking over, he could see a short skinny youth shaking while an ominous light was given out from his body. Harith's senses clicked and he remember what his purpose was. The youth was the Whirlwind sect mage, and the attack he was preparing could potentially be very devastating for the raging flames sect squad. That was why Yun shin was brought into the team, to be able to lock out the mage from the
Sao gang wasn't having it tho. He grabbed Harith's arm again and yanked him back, stopping him from going further. "What's wrong?" He said as he held on to Harith. "I couldn't stop it! He's gonna explode anytime soon!" Harith said, his voice worried as hell. He had tried his best to get close to Juan when he was in the great Zoning out, everything he had tried had little to no result and eventually he was let out, still without stopping juan. Sao gang frowned immediately. Now that Harith had spoken the sudden rise in energy level become noticeable and the peculiar light that was brighter than anything present, that was Juan....the mage of the whirlwind sect. Seeing the distraction causes by Sao gang and Juan, Santiago immediately took the chance to retreat and the others joined up with her. The whirlwind sect students were now gathered together, all behind Juan. This was the final stage of Juan's attack, no one could interrupt it now so they weren't worried about him being in the fr
"Shit!" Harith cursed as he watched Cho cheong get tossed into the air. He tried to shift his weight a bit so he could gain a bit of leverage and hopefully land back on the ground, but it was to no avail. The wind was to strong for even his strength to match. From above one could see the flow of the wind, coming from Juan and hitting the raging flames students. Jung du stood guard over his section, his body was bleeding all over from the small cuts from the wind but it wasn't nothing he couldn't handle. Sao gang and fat man Dang ju had been eliminated, a big blow to the raging flames sect students' morale considering Sao gang was their leader. Harith had flown so far by now that he was only inches away from the barrier and any more second flying would mean elimination for him. *Splat!* A liquid like substance grabbed onto Harith's feet. The substance behaved in a weird way, a liquid but clearly had shape like a solid, it was like a tentacle, a dark tantacle seeming to
Good and evil, day and night, yin and yang, two contrasting phenomenons were present on the battlefield. Juan's light covered half of the circle, giving colour to any and everything in that part. But on the other half of the circle was a direct opposite to the light, a giant black wall made of spinning tentacles stood tall casting a shadow on the other half of the circle. Harith and the rest dwelt in this other half. The contrast made the battle a very peculiar thing to watch, Juan's light seemed to represent the good while Konrad represented the dark side. But it all depended on perspective. To the Whirlwind sect students, the deduction made earlier would hold true. After all, the Raging flames sect students had attacked them when they were most unprepared, so naturally they saw the raging flames sect students as the bad guys. On the other hand, the raging flames sect students needed a win if they wanted a good start at the tournament, and with the whirlwind sect students pitting
