Chapter 427

Chapter 427: One-sided beatdown.

On the other side of the battleground at the 50-meter-long battleground, Castiel, Damon, and Serhan were handling the rest of the noble students.

Sure, they were outnumbered but thanks to night mist from both Castiel and Damon, the other students had changed from teaming up to attack them to self-preservation.

The darkness element was overpowered especially the spell Night mist. The only way to counter it was to either use the light spell, revealing light, or move out of its area of effect.

Almost half of the battleground was covered in thick black mist, so everyone within it tried to escape from the sides, but that was the plan all along.

Once they had activated Night mist, Castiel and Damon made their way out of the mist. So if any of the enemy students didn’t get eliminated by the falling pillars and managed to escape the black mist that was constantly draining their vitality, they would be ganged up by both of them.

This was a deadly plan that showed how helpless all the elements could be when going up against the darkness element.

It also made everyone wonder how there were 2 people from the darkness element and how much of a coincidence that they were both on the same team. The darkness element was only 2nd to the space element in both strength and rarity. So seeing one person with the darkness element was rare talk less of 2.

.....

BOOM!

Just as Castiel and Damon eliminated the rank 1 of the south who blindly sprinted out of the black mist, the explosive sound of Luciano’s punch rocked the entire battleground.

Turning in the direction of the punch, they saw the rank 4 student of the capital was on the floor enveloped by a golden barrier, before getting teleported out of the battleground.

“The information says he can only warp only to the location of the daggers, so how did he get there?” The rank 5 student was shocked and confused by how their teammate was eliminated.

“Snap out of it or we would lose more people!” Lucas screamed at the rank 5 as they began charging up their spells to attack Blake.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

After the rank 4 was eliminated, Luciano immediately moved to Castiel and Damon to make sure none of the other students escaped from the night mist.

As for Blake, the moment Luciano left, the rank 5 student of the capital and Lucas fired a hydro pump spell and a golden flame spear at him.

‘Shit!’ Blake cursed when he saw the attacks coming at him.

Blocking was not an option because the attacks were too strong, leaving dodging as the only option. The problem with this was that to his right was the edge of the battleground and to his left were areas where the pillars had fallen.

“It doesn’t matter how he warped over there now.” Lucas said with a smile on his face as he saw Blake use lightning reinforcement to dodge the attacks by jumping into the area of a fallen pillar.

Using flamebursts Blake tried to get away from the force coming from above, but it was too strong, causing him to fall.

“Time to deal with the rest.” Lucas said as he turned to Damon and Castiel, but that was when a spatial tear opened behind them and Blake fell out.

“What the fuck?!”

Lucas, the rank 5, and every noble that was celebrating a few minutes after Blake’s elimination were shocked to see Blake who had almost touched the ground was back at the top.

They had no idea that it was Blake’s plan all along.

If he wanted to dodge the attack, Blake could have teleported to Luciano who was still in possession of the void dagger given to him the previous night, but Blake decided to go on the offense.

Once he was falling and everyone thought he was out, Blake activated the spatial mark he had left on the pillar at the start of the match.

Unfortunately for Lucas and his teammate, they hadn’t moved from the pillar they attacked Blake.

“I can’t believe you fell for it.” Blake said as he fell out of the spatial tear with Ebony and Ivory in his hands before stabbing the rank 5 in his heart and causing the golden barrier to envelope him.

Lucas was so focused on making Blake pay that he had forgotten that the competition was the top priority. So not only would this affect his chances of winning the regional competition, but the act of losing focus on the real target gave a bad impression to the Emperor and counselors.

“YOOU!” Lucas was enraged and was about to unleash his full power on Blake, but that was when the match was stopped by the announcer.

“Congratulations to the remaining 8 students for making it to the finals!” The announcer declared causing, Lucas to turn in the direction of the night mist to see only 2 of his teammates left.

It turned out that when Luciano had joined Castiel and Damon, the 3 of them had entered the night mist and began eliminating those inside.

As for Serhan, he had been in combat with the rank 3 of the capital right from the start of the match and had managed to hold his ground for so long.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the show put on by the dimension mage and his darkness element teammates came to an end.

It was a one-sided beatdown in which Blake’s team was responsible for every elimination that took. This was not only a shame to the south and capital magic schools but nobles in general.

“I guess I will be seeing you tomorrow.” Blake said with a smirk as he walked past Lucas to meet up with his team.
