Chapter 218: Blood Bath [3]
***
(2 Hours Earlier)
Arthur was seated in the VIP lounge of the largest stadium in Eldergrove.
He was sitting on a glamorous expensive large seat, observing the screens in front of him with an amused smile.
Just an inch behind him, two more seats were placed to his left and right, where Athena and Amelia were seated, respectively.
Behind them were multiple rows of less expensive but exquisite seats, with the teachers seated on them.
They all stared silently through a one-sided thick floor-to-ceiling window, to the stadium outside.
Multiple screens were displayed in various directions and angles outside the stadium.
All of them broadcasted the vision of different invisible cameras placed throughout the royale grounds.
Occasionally, there would be a slight movement from Arthur as he seemed to fidget in his
seat.
Or, Amelia would be moving or adjusting her outfit and gloves and playing with the cute black cat in her lap.
Except for Amelia and Athena though, no one was able to see what was happening to Arthur.
But they could more or less guess.
Since all of them weren't focusing on any screen right now.
Every person in the stadium, even the lounge, was currently focusing on only one screen.
It was also the screen displayed in the largest resolution because of how much audience was watching it.
And on that screen, was Amon who was fighting against at least 100 other students LIVE.
Initially, they were interested in two screens with the second being Michael.
However, he was still exploring the desert and Amon had soon got into battle. Not to mention with 100 students as well.
It was an event never seen before in decades of history of the Battle Royale.
And eventually, everyone was glued to it. They also wanted to see Amon's strength.
And despite seeing it numerous times in the team battles and single battles, a majority of them still weren't convinced that Amon would win.
There were just too many students.
It was impossible even for a student with many elements like him.
"I know he has a lot of elements but there's a difference between having them and knowing how to utilize them." Someone whispered to another teacher.
The other nodded.
"Yeah, I mean I know he's exceptionally strong but I don't see him getting out of this with a win."
Another teacher in a seat in front of the two affirmed with a nod as well.
"You are right. He has indeed been groundbreakingly strong and the first in history to be bestowed with such power but, at the same time, he's still too young to know how to utilize them.
Defeating 100 cadets in such a small space is havoc, even for a talented child like him, even if you give him the highest amount of luck possible, I don't see him winning in any way possible." The teacher adjusted his glasses, delivering a whole speech.
From the front, the sounds of Amelia playing with her cat and Arthur also ceased.
The teachers also turned silent, but that silence in the room was enough to tell that they all agreed.
But as they were about to focus back on the fight...
An unexpected voice came from the front, surprising everyone.
"Hey, you stick-shaped nerd."
Everyone was startled.
It was Amelia, who looked back with a confident smile, her amber gold eyes gleaming.
Even though Amelia was often with Arthur, she never talked with the teachers unless she was forced to do so.
She was always involved with herself or Athena, ignoring all teachers.
Of course, a part of that was also because of how some of the teachers looked at her.
Amelia was the most beautiful girl in the whole academy, after all, having a former title of this.
Of course, the teachers never outright said or confessed to her though. They valued their lives.
Yes, lives not jobs.
And 4 of them were certainly a nightmare for Michael. It was a miracle that he was able to do
this good till now.
But it was also because of that tiger fighting along with Michael.
Its fast and agile body continuously saved him and attacked the members.
'Fuck, I need to hurry.'
Amon quickly shot forward.
Midway through, his eyes widened as he suddenly received a message from his clone.
It had just defeated a high-ranked member of the group in the Sea region.
And to his surprise, Charlotte was also there.
'That's good, Charlotte is fine. Alya, Eliz, Ren, and Liliana left now.' Amon confirmed in his
brain.
He instructed his clone to keep with Charlotte.
Even though his mana was rapidly draining and he was replenishing it using potions from his
inventory...
The death of a main cast member was going to be a lot worse.
Clearing his thoughts, Amon finally arrived behind the three members who stood several
meters away from Michael.
Changing his voice again, Amon called them out impassively after they noticed him.
"I'm here."
All of them saw his face with relief but it quickly turned to disgust.
"Seriously, out of all of us, it had to be you?" One of them exclaimed.
The female beside him groaned.
"Fuck it! We have another matter to worry about on our hands, any help is appreciated it!"
At her call, they turned to focus back on the battle as Michael lunged at them again.
The third guy turned back to look at Amon.
"Hey, you fucker, don't get to-" His arrogant voice suddenly stopped as his eyes bulged wide
open.
Glurp!
Blood gushed out of his mouth as Amon impaled his heart with a blood sword.
"You fuck!" He screamed but Amon grabbed his head underneath the robe.
And in the next second, he used [Void Touch] destroying not only his artifact, but his brains as
well.
His body slumped down on the ground in a decaying mess.
But Amon wasn't done as he quickly shot toward the 2 furious members, who had just realized
what happened. "YOU BETRAYED-" The female screamed again but Amon didn't focus on her.
He moved to the next one while simply giving Michael, who was behind her, a glance.
'It's me.'
'I know.'
Amon used [Void Touch] appearing behind the raging man, who was left confused and surprised at Amon's disappearance now.
Taking advantage of it all, Amon grabbed his head.
And in that quick moment of defenselessness, made his head explode in a bloody and mushy
mess.
In tandem, an earth-breaking pressure descended upon the female, making her raging eyes
widen.
But before she could react to anything, Michael touched her back. Completely incinerating her body in the next second in a storm of crimson flames.
