Chapter 210: Eliminating Participants
Above a crater.
Lith, Ralph, and Dennis were hovering in mid-air with Dennis holding the cow.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
One by one, their phones got a notification. Lith checked his phone and found the coordinates of the place he was supposed to move towards.
"The coordinates are here. Let's get going." Lith said to the three.
The three nodded their heads. Lith imbued his spiritual power into the teleportation token and vanished, followed by Ralph and then Dennis and the cow.
...
In the middle of a forest.
"SHIT! SHIT! THE RABBITS!" A tall Tigerboy yelled.
He, along with four other students were running from rabbits, tens of thousands of rabbits!
The rabbits were attacking the students from all directions and were of Tier 1, 2and 3. The students were dodging the rabbits and were running forwards towards a direction even they didn't know.
They were all panic-stricken and worried. They had no affinity, wings, or artifacts on them that would allow them to fly and avoid these beasts. The angel teen surely had wings but he didn't want to leave his companions and selfishly fly away.
The teens tried their best to avoid the bites from the rabbit by cutting them with their short range weapons. They were running for their lives and while doing so, they constantly had thoughts that they may not survive. But despite their thoughts, the instinct to survive was at an all time high and they ran with all their might.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
A loud rumbling was heard in the sky which didn't go unnoticed by the teens. But, they couldn't be bothered to check what it was as they were busy dealing with the rabbits.
The rumbling sound ended in the next instant but as it did so, they felt the space around them fluctuate and in the next instant, they all were sucked into a space vortex and vanished from their spots, leaving the rabbits confused.
...
In another forest region.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
"THE BEASTS ARE COMING! RUN! RUN! RUN!"
"HOLY SHIT! TOO MANY BEASTS"
"THEY ARE JUST A KILOMETER AWAY!"
"WE'RE GONNA DIE! DIE!"
The ground was rumbling due to the heavy footsteps of the beasts charging towards these students and the students were running away from them while yelling curses.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
"SHIT ARE SOME COMING FROM THE SKY TOO NOW!!??"
The students heard a loud rumble in the sky and thought of such a thing. But, the rumbling noise was gone and at the next instant, space fluctuated around them and they all vanished from their spots.
The beasts running towards them didn't stop and a few seconds later, they stomped their feet on the place where these students were previously.
...
In a mountain region.
"This smell..." A student said sniffing.
"Du-dude... Your s-skin..." another student from the side said to the student sniffing.
"Hmm?" The student sniffing turned to the one who called him.
"L-look at your skin!"
"What happened to my skin?" The student said and looked at his hands. "Huh? HUH?!! AHHHHHHHHH"
The student yelled as he saw thousands of small beetles gnawing on the skin of his hands. It wasn't just his hand, the beetles were everywhere on his body wherever there was skin.
They had appeared out of nowhere.
"OH NO! M-MY BODY!!"
"AHHHHHH"
One by one, all the students around started screaming as they noticed the abnormality.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
A rumbling was heard in the sky but the noise from it was cancelled out by the noise from the students yelling on top of their lungs in panic.
The rumbling noise died down a second later but the noise from the panicking students was still there. Space fluctuated around these students and they vanished from their spot.
...
In a ruins of a small city.
"WAAAAAAAAAA!"
"FUCK WHERE DID THAT FUCKING BABY COME FROM!???"
"HOW THE FUCK WILL I KNOW? JUST FUCKING RUN!"
Two students were running from a gigantic infant running towards them with great speed.
They had no idea why such a thing was charging at them for no particular reason and judging from the sheer size and speed of the infant, the students judged that this thing must be of Tier 5 or above in prowess. They couldn't risk fighting such a thing and thus tried their best to run.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
A rumbling noise was heard in the sky and in the next instant, space fluctuated around the students running and they vanished from their spots after getting sucked in a space vortex.
Fuuuusssshhhhh
BOOOOOM!
A golden streak of lightning descended from the sky on the infant and a loud explosion occurred. The infant disintegrated into dust and in its place was a crater. The small city in ruins shook due to the explosion and a lot of buildings which were on the verge of falling, fell down and the condition of the small city worsened.
The smoke from the place where the crater was vanished and in the middle stood Emilia. She spread her spiritual sense in the surrounding hundred kilometres and checked for anything that may be suspicious.
Emilia was traversing through the skies and was moving to the coordinates Sel had given her. Whenever she came across a set of students in distress, she simply wiped their spiritual power from their identity badges and put her own, thereby eliminating them and having them vanish from their places and be sent to the academy.
This was more efficient and simple and when Emilia reached the place where the last set of students were in distress, she eliminated them and then killed the unknown entity which was the gigantic infant.
She then searched for anything suspicious that may lead her to the culprit but didn't find it here.
Emilia then left this place and went to the other places to find a clue that may lead her to the culprit who rigged the tournament.
...
"Boring." A teen yawned while sitting on a tree and muttered.
He has been roaming around for days and there were no signs of anyone or anything that may be challenging to him. He wondered why this tournament was taking place and it honestly seemed like a joke to him.
He had been teleported in the inner parts of the safe zone and there was nothing to worry about for him. He didn't have anywhere to go and thus he was resting on a tree.
Space fluctuated around the teen and he felt that. He immediately put up his guard and got into a battle ready state. The fluctuations stopped and out of thin air appeared a silver-haired and purple-eyed teen. Looking at him, his eyes opened wide in shock.
The Vampire Prince!
Out of all the people that could come to him, it was the Vampire Prince that had arrived. There was no way he could survive in a battle with him. He had already once been killed in one-shot by him and he knew very well how powerful the Vampire Prince was.
The teen looked fearfully at Lith and said stuttering, "L-l-lord L-li..."
Lith, the Vampire Prince, didn't give him a chance to speak as he knew what he would say. He simply cast a Time Stop on him and sealed his movement. He took his identity badge from his shirt pocket and wiped his spiritual power off with his own.
The teen's spiritual power didn't even have a chance to fight back with Lith's. How could it fight against a Legendary bloodline's spiritual power anyway.
Space fluctuated around the teen and he vanished from his spot in the next instant.
Lith imbued the coordinates of his next location into his teleportation token and vanished.
...
CLANG!
"You sure have gotten rusty in these few weeks, hehe." A small girl that appeared to be around eight years old, or what the people who watch anime in this world would call as 'loli', said to a giant teen in front of her.
The two people were fighting with their weapons. One had a katana, another had an axe. They met each other accidentally and since this was an elimination tournament, they couldn't just let the other person go. They thus started fighting and it had just started.
From the words said by the girl, it seemed that the two were acquainted with each other.
"And you seem to have grown shorter by another inch." The giant teen replied back.
Veins popped in the head of the small girl as she heard him say that. She backed off and was about to attack him again but stopped due to space fluctuating around them.
The giant teen and the small girl put their guards up as they felt the fluctuations. They had come to a tacit understanding without speaking to each other that the person or thing teleporting out is more dangerous and should be eliminated first before they fought again as they both knew the famous saying pretty well, which went:
An enemy's enemy is an enemy.
The two braced themselves and after the fluctuations stopped, a pink-haired, pink-eyed teen appeared out of thin air. He was wearing a neatly ironed academy uniform and seemed very elegant with his wings out.
The two people's jaws dropped as they saw the figure in front. How can someone so hot and elegant be allowed to roam around like that!? This was the question going on in their heads as they saw Ralph.
Ralph was given a set of clothes by Lith when they met and were talking with Emilia. It didn't take him much time to put them on and he didn't need a dressing room to change either. There was magic that exists in this world and Emilia was the one who made him wear that.
Ralph looked at a small girl and a giant teen beside her, standing with their mouths open and staring at him, and quickly flew close to them and gave a chop on their necks, knocking them unconscious.
He then imbued his spiritual power in their identity badges and eliminated them from the tournament and teleported to his next destination.
