Chapter 617 The Light Faction Is Up
Returning to the area they were once in, Raze couldn't stop thinking about the items he had seen. He knew there had to be a link between Alterian and the Light Faction, but for it to be such a big one...
'It doesn't make any sense. I can't be the only person from Alterian that knows about the markings of Idore. Those in Alter would be able to notice it as well. If that's the case, why hasn't Alter done anything?'
'Or is it possible that Alter are the ones supporting them in the first place?'
"This is a joke," Brack said. "All of the events are set up by the Light Faction. Doesn't that mean all of the participants would have been able to train for it and know what's coming up? They clearly have an advantage."
"Now, now, young Brack," one of the Behemoth Clan elders that had come with the young participant said. "This is simply the advantage of having won last year's competition.
"Besides, the fact that they have decided to go first is their way of playing fair, allowing all of us to see what the first event will be.
"If there is one thing I can say about the Light Faction, it is that they try to be as fair as possible."Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Raze would have to disagree, knowing full well what items they had on their body. Similar to a group of Grand Magus he knew, all of it was just for show in the end.
Rumbling could be felt from underground as the event was to get underway, and immediately all of the students belonging to the Light Faction had gotten in a circle formation.
All of them had pulled out their swords and pointed them toward the center.
A small outline could be seen in the ground as something was being raised up from underneath. Large growls could be heard one after the other, and finally, coming into the center of the stage, they could see what had risen up from the ground.
A large beast stood on its two large legs like a human. It was chained by its arms and legs attached to the ground.
The chains were made of a special material, with an interlocking mechanism that twisted with the movement of the beast.
The beast was especially ferocious, covered in thick armor on its shoulders and forearms with only gaps left in between.
The fight against the beast was continuing, and they could tell that it was incredibly strong. When blocking an attack, there needed to be three members from the Light Faction to block.
However, after another strike hit the gaps in its legs, the beast had slowed down, and then something amazing occurred that was mesmerizing for the crowd.
One by one, the Light Faction members were going in for the attack. They used their own special techniques of their clan as they went and struck it one after the other.
The beast looked as if it could no longer fight back. One sword skill after the other was being repeated, and it was speeding up.
As soon as one student was done with their attack, it was time for the next. This level of coordination was even unseen compared to previous years.
Then finally, the student named Hanna jumped up in the air. Placing her hand over the sword, it looked to be completely covered in white energy.
She spun herself and slashed right at the back of the beast's neck, a deep cut was made, spurting blood towards her.
She swung her sword, hitting the blood away before she could get it on her clothes and landed on the ground with the beast falling behind her.
With the beast dead, the crowd erupted into roars once again. The students elegantly looked at the crowd and waved their hands with smiles on their faces.
"Come on, is that really impressive?" Beret said. "They just killed a beast. When I shove their face into the ground, then they will see how lame that was."
"Hey!" Sha Mo interrupted. "If you talk like that, then you better be able to prove it when it's your turn."
The Light Faction students had returned to the waiting area without a single one of them getting injured. They made dealing with the powerful beast look easy.
Raze knew very well how hard it was to go up against a level 5 beast. What he had just witnessed was the power of teamwork.
"Now that we have seen what the Light Faction can do, our next group of contestants will be... the Dark Faction!"
Now, it was time for Raze to see just how much the others had grown with him away.
