Chapter 316: The End of Second Test

Meanwhile, as soon Desmond finished dealing with the black-haired girl group, he turned around and saw many attacks that greeted his view.

Diana slashed light attack from before was coming to him, causing the ground to become cracked with the roots from Edison were sharp as knife coming out and raised to the sky as it pounced down to him at high speed.

Behind him, two large earth palms were pressing from his sides and trying to flatten his body. This attack must be from Gibson as he was only the person that used the ground to create a big thing.

*rumble* *rumble*

In addition, Desmond noticed a spark of lighting from the corner of his eyes, hiding between the crack on the ground with the shape of a rod and advancing faster than any attacks.

*swoosh*

Suddenly far above his head, Desmond noticed Matson throwing his daggers toward him with an unusual expression. His face was telling him as if he was ready to murder him on the spot? Could it be because of Clark?

The daggers were traveling slower than the lighting attacks, while beside him, the tall purple-haired boy was hovering in mid-air with the help of a square block metal that raised from the ground.

"It's you again?" The purple-haired boy smiled upon his word; he then was given a weapon from Matson as he also threw and aimed at him.

Desmond looked at all of those attacks that coming toward him. At the same time, he also observed each of the contestants' expressions.

Elizbeth already took off her smile; she looked at him coldly and frowned. While Diana and Gabriela's face was darkened as their eyes were red, glancing between the group behind him and him.

While Edison, Gibson, and the purple-haired boy, they were smirked upon seeing his miserable state. Those students that were sitting above were glaring at him.

The stage was already in a mess; no meadow was spotted while all of the ground was cracked because of the aftermath. The situation was so tense, those students were screaming and supporting the remaining groups than him.

"What unfair treatment. I got nine opponents here, but all you despised me." He muttered and then closed his eyes for a moment.

The energy around his surroundings began to gather on him, while the energy on his body was poured out and them forming a magic circle.

The vanished invisible barrier began re-emerged from thin air; the yellow hexagon barrier was glowing with white light that enveloped his body from all sides.

System help me to control my energy.

[Scanning the surrounding area...]

[Marking the target...]

The moment he commanded the system, energy from his body was spread out in an instant. Those students couldn't notice with their class.

The energy was like a sonar, touched anything, and only lasted for a moment.

[Area scanned! Target marked!]

[Calculating and taking host's energy...]

At the same time, Desmond feels his body suddenly become weak and his mouth and throat dry. The massive energy capacity on his body was poured out at once, making those students were startled.

He noticed the number of energy on his stats diminishing rapidly.

"There is something wrong with him!"

"Impossible; how could he have this much energy?!"

At the same time, all of those contestants become gloomy upon seeing the crazy amount of energy poured out from Desmond's body.

"Eliz..." Gabriela spoke when she saw Elizabeth was muttering something while her face slowly became paled as much light gathered on the other contestant body.

"Everyone, keep attacking! You have my support!" Elizabeth shouted, but the next moment, she spouted out a mouthful of blood. Those contestants' bodies began glowing as they could felt some healing effect applied.

"Your highness!" All of those students were shouted simultaneously upon seeing how weak Elizabeth was. Desmond received many death stares from those students; some of them had admired him before, then now their admiration turned into hatred.

*boom*

*boom*

*boom*

Finally, after waited for so long, one by one, attacks landed on Desmond, causing the ground to tremble and made a deep pith. The roots were raging in attacking while thunderous electricity was seen, striking Desmond's spot continuously.

The giant earth palms kept slamming on Desmond's position while Matson and the purple-haired body, Gregory, were throwing every metal weapon at him.

With her Great Sword, Diana slashed toward Desmond, making the ground split and causing all of this previous attack from the other contestant to be destroyed in the process.

"..." Matson, Edison, and the rest of those contestants were astonished and then glared at Diana. Those students were also looking at her, who was proudly raised her head and then back to the side of Elizabeth.

Luckily, Diana's attack left some white fire emitting holiness and kept burning on Desmond spot even after a long time.

"He should be faint, right?" One of the students broke the awkward moment and tried to comfort the others. Matson and Greyson already descend on the ground, observing the situation.

They were in an alert; however, when the smoke raised to the sky and the dust finally settled, a person's shadow was standing with his lip curled up upon seeing them.

"Impossible!" Matson was the first person who looked in disbelief. His pride was crushed upon seeing Desmond's state; his heart was unwilling to accept.

Desmond was standing with his clothes and body still fine. Many broken barriers were seen on the ground and then vanished one by one. It seemed those barriers were strong enough blocked all of those attacks.

The students above froze after seeing how the next situation didn't meet their expression; some of them shred a tear, especially when they noticed Elizabeth paled face.

The moment Elizabeth's body fell on the ground, Desmond raised one of his hands, and the energy that poured out from his body that was gathering around him disperse in an instant to all directions.

*swoosh*

Those contestants that were on high alert immediately chanting a spell, especially Matson, who had regained his control of the emotions.

However, before they had a chance, their lung could not inhale air, making their vision slowly blurred and then they also fell to the ground.

*thumb*

All of those contestants fell simultaneously on the ground making the hovering square above displaying a word of 'winner.' At the same time, Desmond and the rest contest body were vanished by the light.

Those students who were watching this had mixed feelings, especially those who were Elizabeth's supporters. They had a grudge against Desmond and wanted to teach him a lesson, but upon remembering how cruel and strong he was, they dismissed this thought and could only grit their teeth and glared at him.

But all of those students, including Desmond, didn't know the situation outside the academy had already become a mess. The civilian already gathered in front of the portal in the Military District.

They demanded information about Desmond and his family while they also asked about their princess's condition. The soldiers who had a favorable impression toward Desmond were frowned upon seeing his action.
