Many disciples stopped from entering Zone Q as a vast number of bubbles rose out of the ground and exploded upon touching anything.It wasn’t just the number but also the speed with which they rose that intimidated the disciples.If one wasn’t agile enough, they got blasted by the bubbles. Those without strong drive or high durability exploded into bits and pieces. It was just plain cruel they way some died.Edgar and Fabby also had to stop there alongside hundreds. While he wanted to try going forward, his sister grabbed his wrist so he couldn’t. They could hear other disciples talking.“It seems the top ten zones are going to be on another level compared to the rest.”“There must be quality skillbooks waiting to be picked. I wish I was stronger.”The outer disciples and even many of the inner disciples of various sects didn’t dare explore the higher grounds and chose to turn back.“Fighting for skillbooks in these types of environments is just suicidal,” Fabby pulled her brother awa
Cooper’s gaze now turned to the siblings. “It’s your turn.” He waved his hand, and the red disc gave off vapors as it flew at them.It was so fast Fabby couldn’t react in time and get out of its way, not that it might help. Edgar flashed in its path and deflected the disc away. He was already covered in Flame Drive.“So you can use Flame Drive,” Cooper was a little surprised. “But so what?” Multiple spinning discs formed around his raised forefinger this time. He swung his arm like a whip. “Triple Disc Threat!”All three discs this time spun much faster and screamed through the air. He grabbed the sword with both hands and stomped forth. “Hell Shock!” The combination of electricity and flame drive formed a shockwave and clashed with the incoming discs and burned them away.Cooper slightly frowned. (This guy… His drive isn’t a big deal, but his lightning ability is a bit of a pain in the ass. And he’s able to mix them well enough to crack my concentrated ‘driven’ discs. He’s definitely
The masters, grandmasters, and elders were all watching with interest as there were quite many fights taking place in Zone A and Zone B.The one who was causing the most impact in Zone B was Rick Dichoso, an outer disciple from Ogvi Warriors. His spear skills were threatening to say the least. It didn’t matter whether the opponent was close or far, he could take them down with similar effort.After taking down a group of three all by himself, he peered through the blizzard and noticed Edgar and Fabby. He pointed his spear almost parallel to the ground, with the tip slightly pointing upward. A pulse of energy coursed through his arm and traveled through the spear. “Bird Cannon!” A red energy bird flew out of the spear and missiled onto the siblings.“Watch out!” Fabby warned.“I know!” Edgar immediately unsheathed his sword and blocked the bird. It then exploded, sending both of them flying back. The sword fell out of his hand. “Kugh,” Edgar found his arm trembling.“Eddie!” Fabby worr
The siblings had the air of confidence as they looked down on Rick who was on his knees and bound in drive-strengthened earthen chains. “Do you still consider us weak?” asked Fabby. Rick ground his teeth. “Don’t get ahead of yourselves, you ignorant fools!” He released a blast of drive around his body and managed to break free from the chains and also clear all the snow around him for almost twenty feet. His overdrive could be felt by the siblings. It stung their bodies and made them feel like they were near a stove. “Let me show you how weak you are!” Rick took out a new spear from his storage ring and lunged at them. “Cracking Spear Dance!” He attacked their bodies with his spear from left and right as well as up and down extremely fast. Edgar had to push Fabby away and take on the attacks with dual swords. In a matter of seconds, over a hundred attacks were thrown, and Rick’s speed and agility only kept increasing. Edgar was forced to use Flame Drive to fend off Rick’s attacks,
“Edgar, watch out!” Fabby howled.Dozens of disciples that had been watching their fight for a while now attacked Edgar almost from every direction.Edgar was always confident in his ability to hear things. However, in this Zone B, where there was a constant blizzard blowing about, hearing things wasn’t easy. Still, he heard a sword coming from behind, and he knew he had to move away, or the arm he was holding the skillbooks with would get chopped.His body reacted to his thoughts and moved away. As he predicted, someone attacked him with a large blade that just missed him.But Edgar still found himself frozen because a spear pierced him from the back and struck his shoulder. The four skillbooks fell before he could send them into his storage ring. Moreover, he was shocked because he couldn’t hear the spear at all, and it made him realize something as he jumped away from there. “He must have used sheerdrive to cover the spear. Dammit.”It was frustrating to jump away from the four ski
While the siblings were in midair, Riku slashed his sword with both hands. “River Cutter!” A ghastly-huge earthen crescent blade manifested out of his sword, cut through the ground and sky at the same time as it flew into the siblings.Fabby shot a weak earthen gauntlet at Edgar, pushing him off the incoming attack’s path. She created a block of earth under her foot and used it as a footing to jump back. In doing so, both the siblings dodged from the attack, which otherwise could have likely killed both of them.The crescent blade kept on going for a few hundred meters and went into Zone B, breaking its way through the icy ground where Tenzai was running away from Pallavi. And the attack went through the gap between them.Gabriella and Venel were just returning from the higher zones, flying over a bird that she had summoned, and they noticed the destruction happening in Zone A and saw Riku and Yuri. “Those two are certainly strong,” Gabriella opined.“They are from the Jigu clan, afte
A few moments earlier.Fabby was being squeezed by the earth from every direction, and she never felt so terrified and overwhelmed before. It was dark, scary, and she felt utterly powerless as the earth around her behaved like her worst enemy.She thought it was her end until she heard Edgar’s roar faintly vibrating through the ground, and her expression immediately changed. How could she give up when her brother was still fighting? The overwhelming fear turned into unbridled rage, and a burst of vibrational earthen energy blasted out of her body and destroyed the earth around her.The shockwave of the blast also forced Yuri and Riku to back away. “Whoa… what’s this?” Riku was surprised.“The earth is vibrating?” Yuri frowned as she could feel the vibrations through her feet. This reminded her of the feeling she felt a little while ago during the fourth round. (So it was her. What sort of beast core did she consume for her to be able to do this at her level?) “Terrene Sight.” Her pupi
7108 people had participated in the fourth round, but only 623 people managed to reach the fifth round. Over 800 people died, and the Ogvi Warriors sect was proud of that. The top three that acquired the most skillbooks were Leo Baker(21), Ryu Reyes(39), and Kenna Spie(42). Nobody else managed to even cross the ten skillbook mark. Many skillbooks were left unpicked, which also made the Ogvi Warriors sect feel proud. Azar and Liam managed to get a book each in their hands. Pallavi gave a book titled ‘Gorilla Dance,’ to Tenzai. It was a seven-star skill that was useful to speedily travel in the jungle like a gorilla. So, he also passed the fourth round, but then Pallavi kept following him, asking him to marry her. “I don’t want you,” Tenzai refused her proposal. “I want you even if you don’t want me,” Pallavi still kept chasing him anyway. “But I think you’re just lying. You really love me, don’t you?” “No I don’t!” Tenzai ran away fast, but he just couldn’t escape from her. She wa
