Chapter 51. Unlikely Partnership
The flames surrounding Ignatia started to diminish slowly. She was considering his proposition seriously.“What do you want?” she finally asked, her voice tight with controlled fury.“Information. And alliance, maybe. Definitely not to be enemies,” Devon said while keeping Caldemor steady in his grip, stopped circling and stood in front of her. “This whole tournament is going to last three days straight, and that's seventy two hours of chaos and killing. Making new enemies on day one seems incredibly stupid to me, to be honest.”“But you attacked me first!’ Ignatia argued fiercely.“You threw a huge fireball at my building, though!” Devon countered back immediately, his voice sounded harsh now. “I was literally just hiding and trying to regroup with my people. You were the one who used violence in the first place, hello!”lIgnatia opened her mouth to argue the point, then closed it again. She looked a bit sheepish, which was shocking.“I-I… okay. That's actually fair. I thought you we
Chapter 52. Rally Point
Devon's Sight scanned toward the source of the commotion. There were twenty auras, engaged in combat about half a kilometer north. The fight was intense, several auras were already fading as a sign of being eliminated.“That sounds like a big fight,” Ignatia said, her flames flickering to life around her hands.“Multiple groups converging on something. Probably a strategic location,” Devon guessed, remembering the point system. “Ten points per hour for controlling one. That adds up fast over three days.”“Should we check it out?”“Fuck no. That's a death trap.” Devon shook his head firmly. “We're nowhere near strong enough to compete for a major location on day one. Let the big groups fight over and kill each other. We'll scavenge the scraps later.”Ignatia looked impressed. “Smart. Most champions would rush in, thinking they could win that way.”“Most champions are probably going to die in the first six hours,” Devon replied grimly. “I'm planning to not be one of them.”Suddenly his
Chapter 53. Securing the Base
“Fine,” Devon managed to say through clenched teeth. “But I'm putting up another signal now, and only she will recognize it.”“Do it,” Williams said with a firm nod. “After that we need to secure this place. This building is too open and half the walls look ready to fall over. We need somewhere much better defensively.”“There's a cluster of buildings about two hundred meters west,” Ignatia offered helpfully, pointing without hesitation. “They looked much more intact when we passed them. Better defensible angles, and more than one escape route if things go to hell.”Ilya looked at Ignatia with suspicion, her eyes narrowed. “Why are you helping us?” she asked sharply.“Because we have an alliance now,” Ignatia replied calmly, sounding bored by the question. “And because those buildings are big enough for both our groups without us tripping on each other. Shared defense is smarter than solo, isn't it?”Williams turned to Devon, waiting for the command. “Your call, boss.”The title hung
Chapter 54. Convergence
“You good, kid?” Devon asked, keeping his voice deliberately calm and steady.“I .. yeah. I-I think so,” the kid’s voice shook badly. “Those things killed everyone in my group. I just ran off…”“Smart move. Running’s valid sometimes,” Devon said, helping him to his feet. “You got name?”“Danny.” The teenager looked frantically between Devon and Ignatia. “Are… are you both champions?”“Yeah, we are. And you just got incredibly lucky, Danny,” Devon confirmed, checking the kid for any serious injuries. Mostly superficial cuts, nothing life threatening.“Can you walk without help?”“I think so… umm, yeah.”“Good. Come with us.”They returned to the building cluster without any further incident. Williams had it fortified already. Guards placed on the roof, barricades firmly set at the entrances, and clear sightlines established in all directions.“One survivor,” Devon announced as they entered the building. “Shadow Stalkers wiped his group, sadly. He's the only one who made it.”Raline wo
Chapter 55. Blood and Steel
Devon looked at Ignatia. She was considering it carefully, her brows furrowed in thoughts."What do you think?" he asked her quietly."Tactically smart," she admitted honestly. "Three champions are better than two. Fire, death, storm. We'd be balanced.""But?""But trust is a bitch in a death game."A massive explosion rocked the arena in the far distance. Devon's Sight showed another major battle erupting about two kilometers north of them. More eliminations, more groups dying fast.They didn't have time for lengthy debates right now."One condition," Devon said, looking firmly down at Seichi. "My people come first. If it's points or them, I choose them.""Same," Seichi agreed immediately. "My squad rides or dies with me.""Then we've got a deal." Devon climbed down from the roof, Ignatia following right behind him. "Show us the contract."Seichi unfurled the scroll. The terms were straightforward. No betrayal, fair point distribution, and mutual defense until the first round conclud
Chapter. 56. Battlefield
The chimera's roar turned into choking wheezes as Devon drained its life force. Its three heads writhed and snapped wildly, but Seichi kept the creature off balance with precise strikes to its legs.After five seconds of draining, Devon yanked Caldemor free and took the lion head off with a powerful swing. The creature collapsed, its body dissolving into black mist.[Target Eliminated: Chimera][Survival Points Earned: +35]Two more to go, but these were wilier now that they had seen their pack mate fall.The largest chimera spread its wings and launched itself into the air, circling above them. Its dragon head breathed fire down on the building, forcing everyone to scramble for cover."We need to ground that thing!" Williams shouted, his rifle tracking the flying beast but unable to find a clear shot.Valdris's voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield as the death knight finally arrived, leading a force of twenty zombies."Keep it distracted!"The death knight raised his massive
Chapter 57. The Urge to Find Raline
Devon poured more ME into maintaining the shield while gritting his teeth hard.Finally, the spell dissipated, and he dismissed the barrier before it could drain him completely.“Ignatia, can you hit them?” he called out at her from the ground.“Not through those shields,” she replied, pointing at the demons. “Break the formation first.”“I’ll do it. Keep them busy,” Seichi said, then jumped and landed right in front of the demon formation, and for a moment, everything went still.The demon lieutenant growled. “Foolish. One champion against twelve of us?”“One’s enough,” Seichi replied calmly.He moved, and it was beautiful and terrifying at the same time. His blades became arcs of blue lightning, striking faster than the eye could follow. One demon broke its shield, and the lightning struck another demon, slicing its arm.But it wasn’t only the lightning they should be wary of. Seichi’s blade pierced another one’s throat.The formation broke as the demons tried to adapt to the human
Chapter 58. Water Run by Zombies
“We need to set a watch rotation,” Devon said finally, forcing the words out after he managed to calm himself.“Valdris, your zombies don't sleep. Can they hold the outer perimeter?” he asked the death knight not far from him.The death knight was standing perfectly still over the corpses of the enemies, looking like a death statue. His voice sounded loud even though the tone wasn't screaming.“My minions do not tire. They will stand guard until they rot away completely.”“Good,” Devon said, grinning at his cringe word choices. “Seichi, Ignatia, we take shifts commanding the defense. I'll take the first one.”“You look like you're about to collapse, man,” Seichi put his hand on his left shoulder lightly. “Take a nap. I'll watch the first shift.”“No. I'll do it. I can't sleep anyway,” Devon muttered, walking back to the building.Ignatia and Seichi exchanged glances, and she shrugged without saying another word.*******Night in the arena was unnaturally weird. The sky didn't go black
Chapter 59. Bad News
Devon watched the ten zombies shamble off toward the distant jungle biome. Part of him felt weird about sending them to their potential deaths, even though they were already dead. The other part of him was too exhausted to care.“I’m going to scout the perimeter for a bit,” Devon announced suddenly, pushing himself to his feet.“Dev, you need rest,” Williams said firmly, trying to intervene. “You look like death warmed over, no offense.”“I’ll rest when I find my sister,” Devon shot back, maybe sounding harsher than he truly intended.Before anyone could even argue with his decision, he was already moving toward the north wall. He scanned the entire arena within his range for any sign of Raline’s aura.But still nothing. Just the usual scattered signatures of other groups, wandering monsters, and the distant glow of the jungle where Valdris’s zombies were heading now.“Stubborn idiot,” he heard Ignatia mutter quietly behind him.Yeah, he was, probably. But he couldn’t just sit here do
Chapter 60. The Hunters Arrive
“Rest,” Devon said finally, his voice soft but firm. “You’re safe here.”“Thank you,” Maria whispered, her eyes already closing as total exhaustion finally overtook her completely. Devon stood up, his mind racing with possibilities. An A Rank champion hunting others changed everything about their strategy.“We need to talk,” he said grimly to the other champions.*******They gathered in what used to be the building’s main hall, away from the others. Valdris suddenly appeared from the dark shadows, apparently sensing the tension.“The Hunters,” Devon began. “We need to know if Maria’s telling the truth or just traumatized.”“An A Rank can take out a B Rank champion in thirty seconds,” Valdris said, his tone still completely clinical. “The gap is immense, believe me.”“So we’re assuming the threat is real,” Seichi confirmed, his gaze shifting from one to another. “Question is, do we prepare to defend this position or do we move locations?“Moving leaves us exposed during the transitio
