Chapter 726 - The Second Event III

"If that is the case then it makes sense why she lied. It is so that no one could know that she is actually a half demon." Jade stated as she still defended Merlin for doing such a thing.

"From what I know, there could never be a player that has the same hidden race as another until he or she could unlock the Race Quest. Even I have not even gotten the mission despite having high affinity towards the demon NPCs." Adrian stated as he wanted to start that quest already because the rewards are really big.

"Same." All of them stated as even they have yet to get word about it. It even felt like they need to trigger some kind of event before they are allowed to partake in the Racial Quest. After the quick discussion, every one of them shifted their focus to the two national teams fighting.

Merlin used the fog that she created and froze it in order to slow down the reaction of everyone inside the area of effect. Someone suddenly snickered as the cold never bothered her as she is the Queen of Frost, Eis.

The frozen fog suddenly turned into icicle shards that launched itself towards the United Kingdom National Team. Merlin used a firewall to counter the icicle shards, but another person snickered.

"You should never really use fire against me." Faust stated as the fire wall that Merlin conjured suddenly started to fade. The next thing that Merlin saw is that a flaming lizard is snugly coiled around Faust's neck. This is the Greater Spirit called Salamander that has achieved a new form after countless strengthening.

Faust got this flame spirit when he saw how masterful a child player named Soleil used fire. He surmised that the lion plush toy is actually the elemental that has made a contract with her. He has heard tales of elementals having contracts with mages in order to strengthen their magic. If he actually knew the real reason, then he would have become depressed that a child beaten him to the punch of being an elemental.

In the end, Faust managed to obtain a contract with a lesser elemental, but he did not become depressed. He fed this elemental until he could actually name it for the first time in order to have a Binding Contract with the elemental.

The first name that he has given it is just a generic name because elementals could not be given a proper name until they become elemental kings. But with just a greater elemental or spirit, Faust's flame magic became twice as powerful. He is now waiting for the day that his elemental will evolve into an Elemental King.

"All fire is useless against our combined force." Faust stated as the flaming lizard around his neck cooed.

Merlin did not stop with her spells as she used an earth wall to immediately block the sharp icicle shards. The rock wall is even pierced by this ice shards that solidifies their sharpness for everyone watching.

The other national team players did not idle as they cannot rely on their mages. Tristan suddenly took a vantage point where he could release his arrows freely. He is more of an acrobatic archer than a sniping archer as he would release arrows while moving quickly on top of the trees.

His arrows are then countered by Witwe as she could easily shoot down the arrows that would have been fatal to her team members. She also tried to snipe some of the United Kingdom National Team members, but she is also countered by Tristan. The battle of the long-range users becomes a stalemate but an interesting watch.

Pendragon did not move from his position as he just stood there like a statue. The melee players that are actually moving are Galahad and Siegfried. They are pushing against enemy lines as they got blocked by Schutz and Zahnrad.

Schutz is using a giant conical shield that perfectly blocks any attacks as long as he plants his shield to the ground. Zahnrad on the other hand is piloting a mech suit which made him look twice his normal size. The unique fighting style of mechanics are their ingenious way of mixing magic and science.

Magitech is a well-kept secret in the Gnome kingdom that only those that swore allegiance to the throne forever could use it. The gnomes will never give up the secret to using this technique for as long as they live because the whole economy of their kingdom depends on it.

What is great about the Mechanic job class is that it is both a main job class and a sub job class. It also lets the player wield any type of weapon as long as they made the weapons themselves. It also gives a great bonus when it comes to skills or items that deal damage through explosions.

"What is this!? Why is Pendragon not moving from his spot? Does he have something that restricts him? Did another player bind him from where he is standing?" The announcer stated with great enthusiasm and acting as all the audience now focused on Pendragon that is being protected by Merlin.

All the players in the United Kingdom Team suddenly showed a little smile which made both Faust and Eis sense that something is up. They are even in terms of firepower as Faust and Eis are holding back their full power while Merlin is exhausting all her mana just to defend her melee team members.

Pendragon suddenly opened his closed eyes, and they are revealed to look like that of a dragon. The sword that has a sheath on suddenly unlocked itself after Pendragon opened his eyes. Faust's greater elemental suddenly hissed as it sensed something ominous or powerful.

Even Eis' half Jotunn blood reacted as if it is warning her of the danger that is coming. They both shouted to their team members that they needed to retreat immediately but Pendragon already activated his attack.

"Let all burn with the might of Caliburn!" Pendragon stated as he unsheathed the sword and released a flaming sword aura that swept across the German national team.
