Many people could be seen sitting in an open-air stadium. Everyone was excited about the competition. While in this competition only students of Mazar Academy were participating, It was still a big competition as the future of this city was linked with this Academy.
People of all ages were present here; many in the audience were here to support their family members. Lalit's family was also present here. His father, mother, and little sister were all here. His sister had come with a poster with their Guild's logo; Lalit looked at it and waved at them.
He wanted to meet them and introduce his friends to his family, but he knew this was not the right time. Ajit suggested that they meet them after the completion of round two.
The names of the guilds that had the best score in round one were displayed: The Dare Dragons were in first place, while Blue Pheonix was in second place. The name All-Stars was in seventh place, which surprised everyone. The top ten were all guilds created by third- and second-year students. In the history of the Academy, this was the first time any guild created by a first-year student had come this far.
"Welcome Everyone; You are about to witness some intense and interesting battles. This is Round Two of the Mazar Academy Guild Championship. As you all can see, the names of the top ten Guilds are displayed on the screen," said the commentator.
"In the Next round, these ten guilds will be put into the ten groups, and the remaining Guilds that have qualified for this round will be divided among these groups. The Guilds in the same group will battle against each other, and the top two will move on to the next round."
The names of the Guilds are now displayed with the groups; on-screen, ten columns appeared with the alphabet A to J. In the rows, the names of the Guilds were written; each group had five Guilds in it. After some time, the list changed, showing the sequence of battles.
The first battle was Dare Dragons vs. Bloodlust. Both guilds entered the Battle Arena. This was ordinary, unlike the Battleground used for the advanced-stage Beast Tamers in the Guild Competition. The ground was fixed in it, and there were many reasons for not having ground with multiple terrains. One was the time and technology, another was the cost, and the last was the stadium.
"Team Dare Dragons is entering with their standard lineup Of five: A Tank, a mage, an archer, a swordsman, and an assassin." Their opponent has an unusual lineup: they have Two Knights, a spearman, a mage, and an archer. Which side will win?"
Both guilds stood in their battle formation: The Tanks of Dare Dragons were at the front with the swordsman on his right, the Mage was at the right side, and the assassin and Archer were at the back. On the other side, the two Knights of the opponent guild were at the front, with the Spearman a little behind and the Mage and Archer at the back.
The referee asked both captains if they were ready, and when both of them nodded in response, the battle started. The commentator said, "Sameer Tiwari is playing the role of a swordsman; there is a lot of pressure on him. The opponent has three fighters; the Tanks of their Guild might be unable to stop them all."
Two Knights of the Bloodlust guild separated and started approaching the back lines. The other members also divided and joined them. The Tank of the Dare Dragons blocked the group with a Kinght and swordsman; he left the rest of them for his team to deal with.
The Knight of Bloodlust was about to attack the Mage of the opposing team when a Wind Slash came at him. He raised his shield to block the attack, which gave Sameer enough time to appear in front of the Mage. The battle started, and both sides exchanged blows. The explosions surrounded the battlefield.
When the members of Bloodlust saw that they were getting into a disadvantageous position, they started using their full strength, especially their Knight and Swordsman that were facing the Tank. The Tank of Dare Dragons summoned vines and created a barricade before him. He also used the wind to push them back.
No matter how much the knight and Swordsman of Bloodlust tried, they could not defeat the Tank; he was somehow able to retreat. He even blocked some attacks from blind spots. His reflexes and defense impressed everyone. Only one Guild was not impressed, and that was none other than All-Stars. This guy had left their Guild and joined Dare Dragons.
Dilip looked at his cocky face; he looked too proud of his defenses. "Dev, I will destroy this bastard on my own. I helped him when he was in our Guild, but this bastard left the moment he received a better offer."
Dev nodded. "Don't worry; our main objective is to ensure they don't win. Other things don't matter to us much."
The crowd cheered when they saw both teams trying their best. It was then that something no one had guessed happened. The Mage of Dare Dragons used a fire spell called 'Volcanic Eruption,' and multiple explosions took place below the feet of members of Bloodlust. The members of Bloodlust used their defensive skills to defend themselves; they were able to defend, but they were attacked by multiple arrows of ice, which slowed their moment. A man with his body shrouded in blue appeared before them; he raised his sword covered in Flame and launched multiple attacks swiftly.
He was surrounded by a barrier, which stopped most of the attacks. He then used his Sword Cover in red aura to launch the 'Flame Strom' skill. The armor and shield of the opponent team started melting under his multiple attacks, and they were forced to retreat.
It was then that a girl covered in a black cloak appeared. She used her dagger to stab the Archer from behind before retreating. Sameer continued with his attacks and eliminated the remaining two members before joining his team to eliminate the rest of them.
"Woah! What an example of a team attack by the Dare Dragons! They could easily defeat their opponent, giving them no chance for come back. The assassin was swift; it did its job and retreated the next moment, giving the opposing team no chance to react."
