A few minutes later, Pale could be seen heaving heavily; around him, the bodies of dead beastmen were sprawled on the ground.However, he was now staring at Endrick and Agnes in fear, the whole reason he had asked Beatrice and Lucas to stay out of the fight was because he wanted the limelight on himself.But now he realized that Brandon, the one he thought he had to worry about wasn’t even his problem at all during this trial, during the fight, though Brandon showed a bit of excellence, but he was more of the laid-back type during the battle.He and Arthur basically held one side alone sharing kills like they were training more than in a competition , while Pale had Katie with him. She, too, had performed well and even swayed some enemies toward Pale’s side because she was more aware of her friend’s intentions than anyone, on another side were Agnes and Knight,That was one alliance he hadn’t worried much about along the line, then the last position was being held by Sophia and Endri

Legion was no longer in midair again, instead just like his cyborg golems. He too had taken cover behind a chunk of collapsed buildings, as he watched the smoke obscuring the tower slowly clear. He finally sighed in relief after confirming Alec was okay atop the Tower, and nothing had happened to him after the collision of the two projectiles. But that didn’t mean he’d forgiven the robots that almost cost Alec a loss, Legion immediately turned his attention to the rear-line robots carrying heavy weaponry and issued new orders. “1, 2, 3—provide cover for me. 4, 5, 6—you’ll breach with me. 7, 8, 9 you lots would provide long-range support, and your primary objective is to keep the robot back line from interfering again. “If anyone tries to act too clever, eliminate them before I reach them, number 10, as for you, your mission is to handle healing and all support, just be ready when we need you.” Legion was furious that he’d allow something like that slip through and intended to mak

Due to the upgraded water-screen system, people could also watch anyone high in the rankings by linking their mana to the team they wanted to see.And that’s how many viewers opened the feed showing Alec Gordons, who was representing the second team of the War God Mage Academy.It was amusing to them that the other major academies, who had split their squads in two for the purpose of occupying two ranking slots and pushing others out, didn’t have any of their second teams make the top ten.Yet it was the War God Mage Academy, the one academy almost no one expected that did, the moment Alec Gordons’ feed opened for many in the crowd, they were surprised by what they saw.Alec was sitting atop his tower on an earth chair that looked quite unique, he was in sixth place for kill points, and they couldn’t believe he’d reached it while appearing to do nothing.But when they used their mana senses to expand the screen and make it their centerpiece, they noticed a massive stone shield, which

At the Arena, many people were already watching different water screens showing the teams they were interested in, the system of the water screen was so advanced that mages could draw in the air with their mana to interact with any of the multiple water screens they wanted to view personally, and a miniature water screen showcasing that match would pop up before them. Even outside the four axis gates, many were watching the second trial in this way.This setup was probably arranged like this because there were teams from all five Kingdoms, and it’s not like anyone would just enjoy watching multiple teams at once, since their attention would be divided. That’s why the system was deployed this way, so they could simply interact with the water screen showing the team they wanted to support. And even then, there were still many who wanted to watch more than one match at once.This new water-screen format allowed the viewers up to at least three miniature water screens, that was how citi

Despite keeping his eyes wide open and trying to understand how the teleportation device worked, Alec still couldn’t grasp the mechanism behind it.One moment he was in the Royal Fighting Arena of the Northern Capital; and the next, he had been teleported to a new environment he felt oddly unfamiliar with.The instant he arrived, he surveyed his surroundings and just as he suspected, there was also a light-gem behind him like the one he’d seen on the water screen before he activated his Badge.“Survival mission: Defend the Tower.”A loud voice rang out, hearing “defend the tower,” Alec took his time to study the terrain he’d been sent to. As he noticed a scatter of broken bricks and rocks placed almost purposefully, as if to allow the enemies use them for cover.He swiftly activated his Energy Eyes and looked ahead, as a blue hue lit his iris and as expected he realized the areas within the gem’s light-radius were densely packed with… something.“Hm. Why do they look more like robot

Immediately, Alec realized the rest of his team were already staring at him, hoping to hear his plan for how they would proceed with the second trial.Funny enough, he didn’t even have a plan yet, which made him look around, hoping he’d catch some kind of clue about how he was supposed to handle it from the teams nearby .Then he noticed most teams with more than ten members were already splitting into two groups: with one consisting of their main members, and their reserves in the other, in cases where a reserve member was particularly special, they adjusted, pulling that specialist into the main squad and sending one of their heavy hitters to the reserve team.They still didn’t know what the second trial would be, but many of these mages seemed confident they could handle whatever came with just their main team, that kind of confidence was standard among the premier institutions of all the Five kingdoms.However, for some teams that already had exactly ten members, they didn’t both

“Your Majesty, if we do not receive reinforcements within the next three days, we may lose this battle,” one of Jerome’s Tier 1 captains spoke urgently, addressing the brooding Jerome as he sat upon his throne.The entire J-Clan Kingdom had been thrust into a state of war ever since the capital had been attacked. At present, they remained in the dark about the identity of the assailants or the kingdom from which the attackers have originated, as no kingdom insignia or flags were present on the black armoured warriors. It was a surprise assault that even King Jayden could have never foreseen, as the attackers had managed to strike without revealing their allegiance.Undoubtedly, they possessed some affiliation, yet one thing was certain: the invading army did not belong to any of the forces within the Wastelands. As none of the Wasteland kingdoms possessed nor the army or the capacity to mount such a grand-scale assault, targeting not only the main kingdom but also attempting to di

“Arrrgh! Why? How could you all allow this to happen?” The Orc chieftain’s voice reverberated through the throne room as he paced angrily, his bare chest heaving. Outside the massive window adjacent to the throne room, three immense images of grieving Orcs that had two stars revolving around them were displayed.The more he gazed at the images, the stronger his urge grew to clench his hands in his hair and pull them out in frustration.Although three Tier 2 kingdoms under their rule had been swiftly destroyed without resistance, it felt as if the battle had been between a child and an adult, the chieftain demanded an explanation for their rapid defeat.While all three kingdoms had suffered destruction, it was evident that the first to fall was indicated by the Orc image on the verge of disappearing above that particular kingdom.The loss of the Goblin kingdom, that was previously responsible for handling distasteful tasks they wished to avoid, had already stung when Jax decimated it.

As Lyra slowly advanced, the other Orc that had survived with the Orc captain was already sweating. However, when he glanced sideways, he noticed his leader making hand signals indicating that he had to make a run for it, but the orc hesitated; as he didn’t want to make himself Lyra’s next target, but the stern stare from his leader made it clear that rejecting a direct order meant certain death. Caught between the archer and his captain, he knew he had no choice.Their line of work was inherently risky, as they ventured into enemy territory without support, however, this mission had proven to be a complete failure. And it no seemed there was no hope left for their squad, with only two members remaining. With a nod, the orc signalled that he understood the plan and was prepared to proceed, this elicited a smile from the orc captain, who then gave another hand signal, counting down from three.As soon as he reached zero, the other orc swiftly got up and attempted to flee, Lyra’s

Silently, a group of ten Orcs emerged, encircling the remnants of the destroyed Goblin kingdom, and concealing their presence, their objective was to gather intelligence about the kingdom, or race that had dared to attack the Goblins kingdom, and was also capable of annihilating them before aid could arrive. These ten Orcs were elite spies dispatched by the Orc empire.While they possessed a smaller stature than the main Orc warriors, this reduction in size did not diminish their strength, in fact, they remained just as formidable as their larger counterparts, relying on their swiftness to compensate, while equipped with lighter and more nimble weaponry, they eschewed the heavy arms typically favoured by other large Orcs.“Move out!” commanded their leader, urging them to close the distance to the walls of the Goblin kingdom as the pass through boulders, their current position hindered their ability to gather information, obstructed by the towering walls constructed by the Goblins.

The news of Jax’s successful obliteration of the Goblin kingdom had rapidly spread throughout the J-Clan kingdom. King Jayden wasted no time in dispatching numerous message birds to the subordinate kings under him, officially announcing Jax’s victory over the Tier 2 Goblin kingdom at the border.While others might have been oblivious to Jax’s recent exploits, King Jayden himself couldn’t deny that he wasn’t well-informed about Jax’s movements. Though the Orc empire may still be unaware, but King Jayden knew that it wouldn’t be long before they gathered the intelligence that Jax and his army were responsible for the destruction of the Goblin kingdom. And when the news would inevitably make its way back to the Orc empire, they would then disseminate it further, therefore, Jayden wanted to ensure that he spread the news from his own kingdom before the Orc empire had the chance, starting with his children and the other general kings under his rule.–When Jessie received the messag

The Orc kingdoms near the area were not the only ones to catch wind of the situation of the wailing Goblin and realised that the Tier 2 Goblin Kingdom had been destroyed; some of the human kingdoms situated close to the borders of the Wastelands also became aware of what was happening.Meanwhile, in the capital palace of the J Clan, King Jayden gazed out of his window watching the image of the wailing goblin in distance, though his spies had yet to deliver any messages, but he felt no need to wait for their reports to understand who had initiated the attack on the Goblin kingdom, leading to its demise.After all, only Jax had sent him a letter declaring war, and he was the sole human king who had made recent movements with his army. King Jayden had initially anticipated that it would take Jax days to conquer any kingdom of his choosing, however, he had never expected Jax to completely destroy another Tier 2 kingdom. Jax had accomplished something that most of the other Tier 2 human
