Chapter 154: The Final Participant is being Watched

~DING~

[Classifier B has reached level 50!]

'SHIT...!'

It was all over now, and Stark even stopped everything he was doing, ending his assault on Soulayer as there was no point anymore.

[9/10 classifiers have reached the required level for the start of the 'Domination Trial']

Soulayer summoned back his sword in hand, then began to slowly walk toward Stark, he seemed extremely mad, and the bandages hit by the explosion were still burnt: it definitely looked like Soulayer was more fearful and uncertain than before though as he hesitated to approach Stark.

But Stark wasn't paying attention to him.

[But that wouldn't be fun to just teleport you, now, would it?]

It wasn't his crimson panels that were talking to him when it was related to the domination trial, but crimson/black panels that had deep eyes staring in the background beyond the text.

Was it the eyes of the entity that was responsible for those trials?

The creator of the [Domination] class?

In the end, it didn't matter much, as the finality of it all was that everyone but Stark had already reached level 50, the latter only being at level 39, a far cry from all the others.

[The person that hasn't reached the required level is going to receive a punishment!]

Stark lifted his gaze toward the panel, then raised his eyebrows, 'Punishment...?'

This was already bad to begin with, how could this even get worse?!

~DING~

And so... while Soulayer was still walking toward Stark...

[You will be teleported to the 'Domination Trial' after completing this battle]

'...!' Stark's eyes widened, this was incredible news for him.

But of course, life wouldn't be this easy.

[But in exchange, you will receive two punishments!]

[The first: all participants of the trial will be watching your fight from now on]

[Have fun!]

"SWORD COUNTER!" with movement so fast it wasn't visible to the naked eye, it removed its arm from the jar and placed it on the handle of the sword, placing it sideways right below its eyes, which were still burning with crimson aura.

Soulayer waited for the perfect opportunity, and when the spears were right in front of him, he held the handle of his sword tighter and swung it thrice in a motion so smooth it always looked slow from afar.

Then...

~FWING, FWING, FWING~

As the skill said, Soulayer countered Stark's attack by sending it back to him.

'Shit...!'

~FWISH, FWISH~

He avoided the first two quite easily, but the third almost hit him, which forced him to...

'Invincible Dodge,' use his skill at the last second.

[Perfect Dodge!]

'Huh...?' the world around turned gray, and Stark was actually able to see it all go very slowly.

Didn't this mean that even if it was his own attacks, as long as it was the enemy itself that attempted to attack him, then [Perfect Dodge] would work...?

This could be useful later, so Stark made sure to remember that.

'Ok... no other option it seems,' he sighed, [Invincible Dodge]'s perfect dodge gave him around fifteen seconds of free time to think, and that was enough for Stark to reach his conclusion.

'Crimson Spears' wouldn't work, and he couldn't use any of his skills as to not reveal them except if it was really needed.

So now... all he could use were his fist and... potions!

'SPATIAL INVENTORY,' he put his arm inside of the inventory void, then pulled out five [Crystal Stun] potions, as well as one [Potion of Strength]and one [Potion of Speed].

He drank the two latter as to allow him to get a boost, then breathe in and out as he was about to put the plan he thought of since the beginning of the battle into action.

And worst: in front of 9 of the people he would be fighting with/against inside the second 'Domination Trial'.

Such a trivial thing didn't increase Stark's pressure or change his expression one bit though, after all... all that mattered was for him to win, the rest would be all up to him and the others.

And so, it wasn't only Stark that was getting ready, but also the boss...

"THE THREE ULTIMATE SOULS!" he activated his true ultimate skill.

[They are watching us, show them that they never stood a chance to begin with =)]
