Chapter 994 The last Six competitors
[Eon's POV: ]
[{ "Alright Eula. You will have to take on the group on the 30 southwest." }]
[{ "Fifteen minutes." }]
[{ "Ball, clear up the 12 southeast. Go wild." }]
[{ "Yes, vice captain." }]Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[{ "Uriel-." }]
[{ "Yes~! What do I have to do~? Just tell me~!" }]
[{ "...nothing. You just sit there. They will get scared and run away if they see you." }]
She had done more than she needed so now everytime anyone from the other otheams sees her, they just run away and mildlessly start running as far away from her as possible.
'No one wanted to get slicked by a big scythe.'
She was like a reaper on this battlefield already. She was doing so much that she was scaring all the people and all the students already…
But, the fact that she wasn't just using her scythe and magic and was actively playing with the other groups in the name of training them or preparing them for something actual dangerous was scarring the rest of them more than she reaslised.
Yes she is strong, everyone knew that already after she defeated captain Alpha on the very first day of the practical class.
But back then, she had only used her magic. She did not use anything, she most certainly did not use a weapon either so, most of them had underestimated her when she started using it in the practical classes a few months back.
'They thought a mage learning a weapon, a scythe on top of that, was simply funny.'
They thought she would need a few years before she starts using it as well as some famous scythe users… but, they didn't foresee her reaper like talent.
'She got better and batter at handling her scythe with each of the class, and after slowly revealing what she could do with that tall weapon with curved blade, she was finally showing them why the scythe users are called reapers on the battlefields.'
But, she took things too far and now, the others were afraid of her.
They had seen how she mercilessly cut down anything and anyone that got in her path and they had seen how she was using her water magic in long range to deal with students that were out of her scythe range.
'She scared the children so much that they were now anxious with simply anyone from our group around them since they directly associated her with them.'
And while it was good on one side for the rest of us, it won't be a good thing when they actually see her anywhere near them.
[{ "You went overboard this time, Uriel." }]
[{ "Hmph. No one appreciates good gestures anymore. Hmph." }]
She had done more than she needed to so now, we didn't need her for the small clean ups. We were going to secure the entire southern side and with no one else to hinder us, we will move straight to the central area.
'The other teams were also cleaning up their areas, and… now that the battle was approching conclusion, we were seeing some pretty good progress.'
Apparently, Tia and Zoe worked out a way and internally decided to move to the central region, so now, they were waiting in the central region.
Quin was already there, so they all were waiting there.
Liz was defeated by Tia at a crucial point so she was eliminated, though she was not the captain of her team so her team was still present… though, that will not be the case for long.
They were camping out somewhere, waiting for the rest of the teams to fight it out and weaknen themselves, but that wasn't going to be a good idea for them.
'When the rest of us reach the central area, we knew we will collectively decide to fight it off in that place with the last remaining individual or group taking on the centre and the victory.
The plan was simple…
'We will reach the central area that was already scouted by people that were closer to the group captains of the various groups like Chry or Ball, and then since we have the information about the central area we will use it to our advantage during the battle.'
The last fight will be a fight of pure tactics and strength. There will be an all out battle with all the sides going against one another on the battlefield and that will be an epic scene. Something much better than the scattered fights that might have taken us the rest of the day.
[{ "I'm done, Vice captain Lucifer." }]
[{ "I'm done as well, vice captain." }]
We secured the south and just like us, Ezra had single handedly secured the west.
Liz was on the south but after Tia, defeating her, the west was taken over by Mia.
The north had Zoe while the northwest was under Tia.
Similarly, the southwest was under captain Alpha but he had already reached the centre long ago and was waiting for the rest of us to show up.
'That guy was quite something alright… there were so many things about him that were becoming more and more difficult to deal with.'
His battle tactics were fascinating.
'Right now, we were inside of an artificial creation that simply was made with illusion magic and with various different kinds of magic and techniques.'
Technology was heavily used in the creation of each and every aspect of this thing. Consider that… who in their right minds would have thought that they can actually 'dig' up the soil and make a tunnel leading to the center of this place?
'Even I didn't think of that…'
The soil here was made with magic as well so my magic sensitive senses already knew how this soil wasn't really some real soil but simply was a creation of magic.'
Most of us would have realised that by the time they set a bare foot in this soil or touched it.
We had done that, so we didn't think there would be a way to dig this soil up, make a stable enough tunnel all the way to the centre, and then wait there before anyone else to preserve their strength.
'He did not have as good a teammates as the rest of us did. The only strong individual that he had was Gabriel and she was simply a pure archer. He didn't really have anyone that could deal great damage to the other teams like Rein or someone that can buff the entire legions of their group like Eula.'
He alone was not enough for anything. And yet, he secured his place in the central area before anyone else, and he waited there.
'That bastard waited there knowing full well that he will not be able to take on even one of the stronger teams that were practically waiting for someone to try and go into the central area.'
They would have to hold onto that position for a set time to actually win, and with Tia,
Zoe, Quin, Mia, with even Prince Claudius and Ginger still holding on their position right beside the centre in the southwest, he had no choice but to just wait…
'Jen was with those two, so… they had a strong team.'
So now…
[{ "Took you long enough, big brother." }]
We moved to the central area as well and before us, was the final goal that we needed to occupy.
And around us, were the five teams which had made it to the centre as well.
[{ "That team is not fair, Zoe. You should give this victory to your big brother." }]
[{ "Hehe, I would have done that if My big brother was here. He's not~ mister Vice captain Lucifer~." }]
If I didn't eliminate Hide, she would have had a great upper hand on Tia and would have perhaps eliminated her instead of making peace with her.
'The reason I eliminated Xlor first was simple: he was going to get in Rein's why when she was dealing with Quin at the start of their battle.'
Then I took out Hide since Zoe and Tia were going to confront one another at that time.
After that, I took out Prince Alph, and the simplest reason for that was not his Pinnacle skill, but his Origin skill that made him an absolute tank that, without that surprise attack, would have been an impenetrable fortress.
Taking out Luna was simply a logical thing since we are talking about a natural calamity here.
Taking out Carla was also pretty much a judgement call not because of her skills or talent but because of her Weapon storage…
Having someone with weapons as strong as she has here would have only been a negative effect on the rest of us.
'Lastly… the last shot from the sniper was shot at not someone strong or someone unique and would have influenced the outcome of the battle.'
But, it was someone that not many of them know. Or recognise.
"Anyway…"
Our group, Zoe's group, Tia's group, Prince Claud, Ezra, and Captain Alpha. The six of our teams were the last ones left here.
'The rest will be dealt with by us and we will fight.'
Rein was ready already, and Ezra was glaring at us.
She did not like how I took down Prince Alph, captain Alpha also did not like how I dealt with Luna but he wasn't angry at us like Ezra.
'It was a dangerous glare, so I'm even worried what she'll do when we begin this fight.'
But still… this is the end.
'This fight will decide the victor. And, that's going to be us.
'I'll make sure that… the one claiming that centre stage is us.'
