Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Make it fast

As Alexa waited anxiously, a voice echoed from within the room. It was the voice of a woman

The door swung open, and Alexa entered with a serious expression. The room was elegantly designed, reminiscent of a grand theater with plush seating arranged in tiers, allowing an unobstructed view of the arena below.

Inside, Alexa saw five individuals and two teenagers who looked strikingly familiar and she realized that One of the individual is Jonathan Hamilton and his two children Nathan and Elshienne. the two teens waved hi to Alexa and she nodded at them.

A woman with short black hair stepped forward. She wore a sleek black dress that bared her shoulders and arms, revealing a tasteful amount of cleavage. In her hand, she held a glass of wine, and delicate white wings adorned her back, giving her an ethereal appearance.

"So, you're Alexa Ford, the top 10 ranker of Korea," the woman said, her tone both assessing and intrigued.

Alexa nodded, her focus unwavering. "Yes, I am. We need to address a critical issue in the arena. There's a dark force influencing the match, and it's putting lives at risk."

The woman in the black dress leaned against the railing, her gaze fixed on the arena below. "We can't interfere," she said with a hint of frustration. "The barrier is no longer under my control."

Alexa's frustration boiled over. "What do you mean it's no longer under your control? We need to do something now!"

The woman's eyes met Alexa's with a serious expression. "The barrier is being controlled by a dark entity that has possessed Shaun's opponent. Even we, with our abilities, wouldn't be able to break through it."

Alexa's anger flared. She moved toward the woman, ready to demand more answers, but a man stepped in her path, blocking her way.

"Isabella means that" the man said firmly, addressing the woman, "Some dark gods are interfering and it's no longer our control this battle is no longer a tournament."

Alexa's eyes widened with disbelief. "So, what do we do now? Uncle Shaun's life is in danger!"

Isabella turned around, her eyes widening as she processed Alexa's urgency. "Uncle Shaun?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.

"Yes, Uncle Shaun is my friend's uncle!" Alexa replied, her voice filled with desperation. "I can't let this happen. Do something!"

Alexa looked down at the arena, her eyes locked on Shaun, who was struggling to maintain his shield. She could sense the dire situation: if Shaun's shield broke, he would be in grave danger.

The tension in the arena was palpable. The crowd murmured anxiously as they watched Shaun's struggle from above.

"Help him!" Alexa shouted, her voice echoing with urgency. But before anyone could react, the shield finally gave way.

A deafening explosion erupted as the shield shattered, sending a shockwave through the arena. Dust filled the arena, and the crowd gasped

Murmurs spread through the audience as they tried to make sense of what had just happened. "What's going on?" some people whispered. read first on m v _l,e m _p _y _r

"Is everyone okay?" others asked, their voices filled with worry.

Isabella looked down and said, "Interesting."

One of the US top rankers asked, "Who is that? How did he get through the barrier?"

Alexa looked down through the settling dust. Shaun lay unconscious on the ground. A man in a black coat, with white hair and blue eyes, stood in front of Shaun, blocked the opponent's attacks.

Nathan and Elshienne hurried over to Alexa, their eyes wide with shock as they peered down at the arena. "Who is he?!" Elshienne asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Nathan, equally stunned, added, "He got through the barrier that even the top rankers can't break?!"

As Seojun blocking the opponent's shadow attacks, the opponent suddenly stopped and glared at him.

"Who are you?" the opponent shouted. "How dare you interfere!"

Seojun glanced at Shaun, who was unconscious on the ground. [Host, The opponent can use your shadow against you. Stay alert.]

The system added, [You need to break the cursed necklace the opponent is wearing. It's controlling the shadows.] Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seojun's senses were on high alert as the opponent launched another vicious wave of shadow attacks. Dark tendrils snaked through the air, seeking to ensnare him.

In a blur of motion, Seojun used his teleportation skill to instantly move Shaun out of the immediate danger. He reappeared outside the barrier, placing Shaun in a safer spot where he could no longer be reached by the shadows.

Seojun wasted no time and used teleportation again to return inside the barrier, just as the shadows tried to follow him. The opponent, a Shadow Manipulator with dark powers, was creating and controlling shadowy tendrils that moved with lethal precision. Shadows extended from the opponent's body, coiling and whipping through the air like serpents.

Seojun zipped around, dodging the attacks by teleporting just in time.his movements a blur as he searched for the necklace he needed. As he ran, he muttered, "System, block their sight"

Instantly, the air inside the barrier began to swirl, and a thick dust storm formed, obscuring the view. The once-clear barrier turned into a murky veil, preventing anyone outside from seeing what was happening.

The crowd outside murmured in confusion.

"What's going on? Why can't we see anything?" one person asked, straining to see through the haze.

"It's like a wall of fog. We can't make out what's happening inside," another replied, eyes wide with worry.

Inside the barrier, Seojun's movements were quick and calculated. He teleported behind the opponent and slashed with his sword, but the shadows twisted to shield the opponent. The opponent back down, sending a barrage of tendrils in Seojun's direction. Seojun teleported again, reappearing high above, and looked around, scanning for the necklace amidst the chaos.

As the tendrils lashed out again, Seojun dodged expertly, reappearing in different spots to avoid the deadly strikes. His eyes darted around, searching for the glimmer of the necklace. Each teleportation brought him closer to finding it, while the opponent's frustration grew as Seojun's attacks continued to disrupt their control.
