Chapter 61: Activation of Secret Mechanism!

Although Felix was powerful enough to beat the shit out of any of them in a one-on-one fight, he couldn't do anything once they were all attacking him at the same time.

After all one hand couldn't win against many!

"You guys are shameless for ganging up on me. I will kill the three of you!" Felix screamed in anger as his body trembled violently indicating signs of flame bursting out of his body.

Sensing danger, the three of them quickly jumped backward as flames exploded out from Felix.

After a moment, Leila hurriedly stepped forward, using ice walls to counter his flames, and released a torrent of fist covered in ice towards him once she got close to him, and Felix maneuvered his body with exceptional speed, dodging her punches as flames burst beneath the soles of his shoes.

"Hehe, I got you. It's time to mess up your pretty face," Felix said as he grabbed Leila's fist after a few moments.

"I am the one that got you!" Leila replied with an ice cold expression on her pretty face.

Felix's eyes widened as ice burst forth from Leila's hand and frosted his hands suppressing him from exerting fire. At the same time, ice also wrapped around his legs, stopping him from moving away.

"Foolish! What made you think that your ice ability can suppress my fire ability, huh?! A low-born like you can never compare to me. I have been fed natural treasures and evolution materials ever since I was a child. My fire ability is far stronger than your ice ability!" Felix exclaimed.

He was born with the ability to create fire. Moreover, he was blessed with the mark of flames as he the only son of the saintess of fire. The mark of flame granted fire immunity to its bearer. That's why he could cover his flesh in flames without feeling even a tinge of pain.

Furthermore, he had been fed a lot of treasures to strengthen his fire ability. As his fire ability strengthened by consuming evolution materials, he was able to manipulate it. Through manipulating his ability, Felix learned to create fireballs and utilize flame propulsion.

That's the only two techniques he learned over the course of many years. After all, he had spent his precious time playing games, going out with girls, and troubling others, rather than training every day like Leila and Peter.

To prove his words, Felix channeled magic into his fire ability. Immediately after, the ice sealing his right hand exploded in dozens of shards.

"Let me show you hell!" Felix exclaimed.

Just as he raised his blazing hands to disfigure Leila, someone grabbed his fist and a calm yet cold voice resounded in his ears.

"How could you forget about me? Dumbass!" Varth said as ice burst forth from his hand that grabbed on to Felix's blazing fist, curbing the flame covering Felix's fist in an instant.

Felix instantly turned to look behind him. Immediately after, his eyes widened with shock as he saw that a snow-like tattoo and a golden tattoo has manifested above and below the right eye of Varth.

"You copied her ability!" He shouted in shock.

A moment ago, Varth's eyes met the eyes of Leila. That's when he copied her abilities. His ability allows him to copy anyone's ability when their eyes meet. His hollow cells transform into the target's ability cells when he copies their ability. The targeted person's ability can be used once Varth channels energy into his ability cells.

Nevertheless, he wasn't omnipotent as the level of the ability is adjusted to the number of hollow cells in his body.

At the moment, he could copy abilities below D-rank.

As ice continued to suppress his fire ability cell, as well as spread all over his body, one could see traces of fear in Felix's wide-open eyes filled with rage.

"Varth Hollow, you… what are you planning to do?!" He said in a shaky voice as he found it difficult to bear the feelings of unable to feel the regions of his body frosted by ice.

"You'll know if you are unable to overpower the suppression caused by my ice ability!" Varth said with a smile as an enormous amount of ice burst forth from his hands.

Similar to how Leila used ice to seal his hands and legs, Varth was intending to seal his entire body.

"Don't do what you are are fucking planning to do!" Felix shouted.

"Oh, and why won't I?" Varth taunted. "Who do you think you are? A mere fallen great royal whose arrogance knows no bounds deserves to be sealed in an ice cage!"

As soon as he said those words, Leila's sweetly smiled while Peter started to laugh wildly as they thought that it's really true that what goes around comes around.

"I will help you." Leila channeled magic power into her ice ability cells to help Varth seal Felix in an ice cage.

Although Felix tried to stop the ice from spreading all over him by using his fire ability to fight back, the spread of ice intensified once Leila also used her ability to seal him in an ice cage.

"You bastards!"

Felix only managed to say these words, before he was sealed in an ice cage for good.

After a few moments, Varth and Leila took care of the flame walls in the surrounding.

"Thanks guys, we won't forget this favor!"

The participants expressed their gratitude before rushing forward.

Varth, Leila, and Peter also moved ahead with incredible speed as they used their ability and techniques to evade the incoming projectiles.

A moment later, Leila felt dizzy and she lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground when Peter caught her.

"Sis!? What's wrong!?" Peter said in concern as he looked at Leila.

"I am feeling dizzy," Leila said as she felt like puking her guts out.

Meanwhile, Varth raised a barrier to save them from the incoming projectiles.

Varth's eyebrows raised as he reached closer to them. "It's a typical backlash that occurs once ability cells are overused. You'll be fine after sleeping for a few hours. Until then, you'll feel dizzy."

"I can't rest right now. I will fail if I fall asleep," Leila said weakly as drowsiness filled her mesmerizing snowy eyes.

"Don't worry, I will carry you on my back. Just try your best to stay awake!" Varth offered to help her. "Besides, no rule states you will be eliminated if someone carries you on their back. You will only be evicted from the race once you are severely injured, get knocked out or ten projectiles manage to hit you."

"Thanks but there's no need for you to burden yourself. I will carry her," Peter said as he helped Leila to climb onto his back.

"Sis, hold on to me tightly," Peter said.

Leila nodded and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Thank you, Peter," she said.

After a moment, they could be seen moving along the track with incredible speed in a straight line.

After all, Varth used barriers to block the incoming projectiles and reduced the burden for all three of them.

Meanwhile, a lot of participants were disqualified from the race after one or two projectiles crashed on their bodies and injured them fatally.

A lot of participants were finding it hard to dodge the projectiles. After all, the speed of the projectiles has increased so much that it has become exceedingly hard to dodge them and the participants that were disqualified weren't able to dodge them in time.

A few minutes later, Nevis, Vincent, and a few of the participants could be seen only several hundred meters away from the finish line, while Leila, Peter, and Varth were a mere kilometer away from passing the test of agility with the minimal score.

"The condition to activate the secret mechanism has been met!" Alex said with a devilish smile plastered on his face, and he continued, "Devil's word: Projectile Reflecting Boundary!"

As soon as Alex snapped his fingers, an invisible boundary that could reflect projectiles was erected on the track.

The participants stepped forward with all their might, completely unaware that an anti-gravity boundary that could deflect the projectiles has been erected all around the track, and that the projectiles bouncing off of it were approaching them with double the speed.

"What the hell?!"

Most of the students were caught off guard as one or two projectiles crashed on their defenseless backs.
