“War God!!!”“Bloodline!!!”The names of the two academies echoed loudly through the arena, the chants were so intense that even the spectators who had intended to remain neutral gradually found themselves picking a side to support.For the Northern Kingdom fans, this was the long-awaited rematch they had been hoping to witness for a long time.“Walk toward the middle of the arena and place your hands on the Creation Stone,” the judge instructed.At the center of the arena stood a jagged stone glowing with an icy blue light, embedded firmly into the ground, the ground closest to it also emitted a faint bluish glow, though much dimmer in comparison.Even so, that didn’t stop the mages of War God Mage Academy and Bloodline Academy from approaching it, the stone itself was massive, tall enough to block the two teams from seeing each other clearly as they stood on opposite sides. Although the structure appeared somewhat transparent, however; the view through was blurred and distorted, pr

While the Dean was busy bringing them up to speed on how the new battle format would work, outside in the arena the judge was already addressing the crowd, explaining the updated rules and how the match would be carried out._ _After a few minutes, all the proper introductions had been completed by the judge. It was finally time for him to usher in the teams that would be competing.“For the two matches taking place today,” the judge announced, “we will first have Bloodline Academy facing War God Mage Academy. The second match will be between the Ember Citadel Team and the School of Silent Night.”From inside their tunnels, the teams could clearly hear the judge’s voice echoing through the arena.It wasn’t as if they didn’t already know who their opponents would be, but hearing it announced again made everything feel far more real.For the mages of Ember Citadel, simply hearing the name School of Silent Night sent chills down their spines. Even though no one openly talked about it, i

By the next day, all four teams that had qualified for the semi-finals were already waiting for the match format and battle pairings to be announced.From the changing room, they could clearly hear the roaring cheers of the crowd as everyone waited for the day’s matches to begin, while they were still waiting, the Dean walked in, accompanied by Miss Selene, who had come to wish them good luck. After all, she had been the one who originally selected the team, and seeing how far they had progressed filled her with pride, they had definitely grown far beyond anything she had imagined when she first chose them.After the team greeted her and she exchanged a few brief words with Alec, the Dean finally spoke.“The team we will be facing has been confirmed,” the Dean began.That single sentence immediately captured everyone’s attention as they turned toward him.“We will be facing the Bloodline Academy, and the format for this match has also been decided, it will be something called a Rune-

Alec’s name echoed loudly through the arena as the fanatic supporters among the Northern Kingdom crowd chanted it again and again, the way they celebrated made it seem as though they had already won the entire tournament.Meanwhile, Alec’s gaze remained focused on Takeda, even though Agnes had mentioned that the one watching was likely just a clone, Alec still had the strange feeling that the real Takeda might somehow be able to observe through it.And if that was the case, Alec wanted him to understand something clearly, that deep down, he was already looking forward to defeating him._ _About two minutes later, Alec had left the stage, walking through the same tunnel his team had used to enter earlier.Even after the battlefield was cleared and the participants had left, the discussions throughout the arena didn’t stop, in the VIP sections, the high-ranking spectators were already engaged in heated conversations.“Finally, he’s back, let’s see what’s new this time.” Dragov said as

“Leave them. They are mine.”While Alec and Hoshino Ren were locked in their clash, Titan decided to deal with the Blade Clan members himself.When he spoke, his gaze fell directly on Brandon, Arthur, and Knight, he completely ignored Lucas, who was still bleeding but seemed to be holding his own against Aeron.Both of them were laughing wildly as they exchanged blows, their weapons clashing repeatedly while enhanced by Qi.Although Lucas appeared to have the advantage in raw strength, as each swing of his glaive forced Aeron several steps back, but Aeron was clever enough to maneuver around some of the attacks and search for faster ways to take Lucas down.However, with lightning coursing through Lucas’ body, his reaction speed and evasiveness had greatly increased making it hard for Aeron to swiftly finish him in a very fast speed. Because of that, he managed to stay on his feet and avoided getting trapped or pinned down by Aeron’s tactics.After Titan spoke, the three Gordon clan

“I’ll take the one with the shield, handle the other one,” Shun said as he saw the two ice golems charging straight toward them.Bang!!!With every step Bulwark took, the ground trembled slightly, and seeing the massive golem charging while clearly building momentum made Shun feel threatened, so he decided to strike first.He spun and hurled his shield toward Bulwark.In his mind, the outcome seemed obvious, since the two shields Bulwark carried in his hands were smaller, Shun expected him to be forced into a tight defensive position. He began imagining Bulwark would raise both of his arms up to block in an high defense, only to be pushed backward by the impact, the rebound would then send his shield flying back to him, giving him the chance to seize the initiative and rush forward himself to close the distance.But reality rarely unfolds the way one imagines, because the moment Bulwark saw the shield flying toward him at high speed, he suddenly dropped low and slid forward. The lar

“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
