Chapter 2346: More Conflicts
Chapter 2346: More Conflicts
At this moment, the leader of the Indra team got an alert in his mind.
This is a special spell created by a Soul Mage. If the team is attacked, he will be informed, and if he is attacked the team will be informed. He turned around and was about to make a move, but the moment he did...
*SWOOSH**CRASH*
He saw something coming at him out of nowhere. It literally dropped from the sky above.
A person jumped through the portal and brushed past the target, behind him came down a large Rhino skeleton that fell on the Indra team leader's head.
Just like that, he didn't even have a chance to find his team and had to be entangled with the skeletal creature.
He stood up and looked at the person and the Rhino.
He recognized them both.
One of them is an elite from second grade of the Agni academy. The other is the creature that The saw the traces of in the surroundings not too long ago.
"What are you doing here, Margo?" The Indra academy leader asked the sudden visitor.
"Hell if I know. One moment I was about to dance with that Rhino and the next moment, I am here. If anything, I should ask you. Why am I here, Rajan?"
Both of them glared at each other. The Rhino seemed to be in a dilemma and stood there, indecisive about who it should attack.
Rajan's hands crackled with lightning sparks. The alarm system in his head is ringing wildly with every passing second.
The dead lock of the three entities is getting tense.
He pursed his lips before saying.
"Why don't we go our own ways? No need for conflict at the moment."
Margo frowned and thought about the suggestion, he also didnt want to fight with Rajan at the moment.
Just when he was about to agree, a runic pattern on his arm started glowing.
His eyes widened his horror as he looked in a specific direction.
*KEEN*
In that direction, an arrow could be seen whistling as it shot into the sky, as if its cutting through the atmosphere.
It reached the sky and created a dark cloud. In front of their eyes, the lightning formed from the cloud manifested into the form of a human. That human form held a bow conjured purely of lightning. It pulled the bowstrong and aimed at a specific direction.
"FUCKING HELL. Rajan, you and your bastard friends are dead meat."
Margo immediately tried to run towards that lightning figure, but Rajan gritted his teeth and intercepted him.
Margo took a step back and looked at Rajan coldly.
"So, this is your plan all along. You distracted me with that Rhino and the portal to kill my teammates? That bitch is using the Lightning God Astra. Get out of my way now."
Rajan looked at the lightning arrow, still charging and pursed his lips.
Lightning God Astra is the special attack of the Indra academy. One of the strongest attacks that was ever created for a lightning archer.
It also happened to be the strongest attack of his teammate.
And right now, in the direction of the attack is where his teammate is and judging by Margo's reaction, his teammates are also in that direction.
This explains the alarm in Rajan's head. That means, he cannot let Margo go there, no matter what.
As he was thinking, the Rhino which was unusually quite and calm until now raged. It rushed at the two of them. They dodged it easily and brandished their attacks.
An intense battle of fire and lightning started.
The lightning God astra was completed. It landed on the desired location, but contrary to the expectations of those people, it landed not on the teammates of Margo, but on a bunch of skeletal creatures.
One who performed it is not the student of Indra academy, but rather Sam who is currently hovering in the air looking down on the destroyed skeletal creatures. He also got a pretty good look at the raging fire and lightning not far away.
He disappeared from there and reappeared near Crow who is already there, waiting for him.
At the same time, Rajan who is already having a handful with Margo and the Rhino, suddenly felt a sense of threat from behind. Two more students who are wearing Margo academy's clothes appeared running, attacking him from behind.
Just like that, the start student of Indra academy is surrounded by the Agni academy students.
"How long do you think he will last?" Crow asked Sam.
"You should be asking the opposite question. How long do I think they will last. The answer is that if he doesn't hold back, he can deal with them in twenty minutes at most."
"He will win?"
"Yes, he will. If he didn't want to hide and hold back, he could have been the top contender for the Indra's solo combat."
"He is that good? Then why does he even hide it?" Crow asked in surprise.
"Not everyone is like you, Crow. Eager to show off, eager to prove themselves. In fact most people like Rajan.
They try to hide when they are competent enough to shine brightly but also aware enough that the moment they shine they will be suppressed, because as bright as they are, they are just better than mediocre and not the best there is.
Usually, people who do that are not really worth much. Its just once in a while there comes a Rajan, who is actually worth all his paranoia.
He got the talent, skills and enemies worthy enough for him to hide it. I kind of like him a bit. Too bad, he is in the middle of it all."
Crow nodded and suddenly realized what Sam said.
"You said he is not like me? What about you? You are the biggest showoff that I have ever met. You should look at yourself before you criticize me like that."
"Not really. I don't show off because I have a need to prove myself. I show off because I don't have any reason to hide myself. Or to be precise, I don't have a worthy enough enemy for me
to be a coward."
"All these academies, families and Divine Plane Consummate cultivators are not enough?"
Sam just smirked and disappeared from there.
Crow activated the transference token and disappeared as well.
They reached their next target. Another solo target, another round of deception and another round of forced conflict.
While they are doing that, Rajan destroyed the Rhino, killed one of the three opponents, broke the leg of the second one and escaped from there. In the supposed direction of his
teammates.
He ran there and all he saw was that both of them are injured beyond any scope of recovery inn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
the short time.
His brain worked in overdrive as he thought of the situation. His teammates were threatened, he felt the signal, he was suddenly met with Margo and the Rhino, then he saw his teammates' attack, the special move only used when dealing with people that are above their league, however from the looks of it, they didn't get a chance to put up a fight.
They are done in by a much more overwhelming opponent, someone who is a bit too out of their league. To the point the other party made them like this, with almost no sign of damage,
except for the explosion sign he saw.
Then Margo's teammates came without so much as a scratch.
This whole thing stunk.
He sensed a conspiracy. Someone isolated him from his teammates and dealt with them. He is
trembling in rage. He is furious more so than he ever was. Spiritual energy gathered in his
palms as he clapped his hands.
The spiritual energy particles moved like a wave and the surroundings started glowing. They
are highlighting patterns and shapes that are not visible to the naked eye.
He saw footsteps in those highlights and ran in that direction. With every few steps, he
clapped once to reveal more footprints.
Soon, he saw someone fighting with a skeletal creature.
The person that fought with or rather destroyed his teammates. The star student of the
Karthikeya academy.
Just like that the two start students are once again, in a fight.
Similar scenes are happening all over the pocket dimension. Since the competition has more
than twenty hour time limit, people initially had a tacit agreement to tone down a bit. However, with Sam fanning the flames people are trying to kill each other a lot faster. It became so bad to the point that they are not even going after Sam, which was the initial plan
since the start.
Now, they are too busy guarding their own backs that they don't have any time to look for this
prime target.
Just like that another eight hours passed.
More than fourteen hours have passed since the start of the competition.
