Chapter 303: Showdown [1]

Xavier expected none of this.

In his opinion, eliminating Sarah would only increase their chances of victory.

Of course, it's not entirely true.

Even though their team strengths were equal, he was undoubtedly the least injured and hence, the strongest.

If they followed his plan and faced off Sarah together, then firstly, William and Philia would be eliminated.

At the same time as them, Sarah would be also be eliminate.

Once that happens, he'd immediately attack Maissa and let Rodey eliminate her.

Then there'd only be Ashtarh and Tiama vs Rodey and Him.

He had been saving up his strength for this final fight.

Given the state of Ashtarh and Tiama's injuries, he was confident to help Rodey beat Tiama and he himself could beat Ashtarh.

Finally, it'd only be Rodey and him.

But that only meant he'd win.

A perfect plan.

The best map to his victory.

Alas.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Xavier's cold voice rang in Ashtarh's head. "I might not lose against you two and even if I doyou can kiss any chances of your victory goodbye."

Ashtarh's eyes narrowed just for a moment before he assumed his expressionless face.

Ashtarh Team and Sarah Team stood against Xavier's as they glared at each other.

No one spoke a word as they prepared for their best moves.

Then all of a sudden, the air was torn apart as the figures blurred.

Maissa stood in the back as she froze the space around the fast moving figure in the field. Rodey Nial.

Working together with her, Tiama conjured lightning arrows and rained them on the Body Awakener.

Despite breaking the space locks in just a split second, Rodey found it difficult to maneuver the field.

Given the fact that Maissa was as strong as him, if not for more, he grew increasingly desperate.

But

'Again?' He noticed a subtle fact.

As he moved at his fasted and tried to find an opening to attack them, the duo's focus wasn't completely on him.

Rodey looked at William, Philia and realized something. His eyes flashed and he kept dodging the lightning arrows, but sometimes, he was abruptly frozen on the spot and pierced by the arrows.

On the other hand, William and Philia faced a far easier target.

William stood in the rear and used his telekinetic powers to restrain Marcus Caron in the spot.

The hot-tempered youth wasn't pleased.

Despite suffering a severe mental attack from the illusion, Marcus Caron didn't flinch.

To put it nicely, he was the guy who never gives up.

To put it harshly, he's a moron who won't stop until he's knocked out.

Thus, he didn't even consider the situation of his elimination. He wanted to win against the two opponents.

Flames swirled around his arms and he channeled the fire mana in his body.

The flow wasn't as smooth as before nor was it as concentrated. He still felt like he was smashed in the head. But somehow, he had to concentrate.

Thus, the result was a strong, but wobbly fire dragon that pounced at Philia.

Philia didn't show any hint of nervousness. Her cold and expressionless face was a curse to her social life, but a blessing to her army life.

She raised her arms and conjured an ice dragon. It was significantly smaller than the fire dragon, but was more concentrated.

"Roar!" The two dragons clashed in the air as they tried to ascertain their supremacy over the other.

"Roar!" The Fire Dragon entangled the ice dragon as it tried to vaporize the ice creature.

"Roa!" The Ice dragon tried to fight back, but the gap in their strength was significant.

'William, what r u doing?' Philia glanced at him and he understood her intentions.

Coughing lightly, William decided to not tell her that he was watching her fight.

His mental power spread outwards and locked onto Marcus.

'Do you think I'm stupid to attack the fire dragon? Nah! I'll just attack you. You're already weakened, how can you face a two-front attack? Hahaha!'

With a smirk, William's mental power condensed into a huge sledge hammer and struck Marcus.

As the sledge hammer neared him, wind roared and blasted into shockwaves.

Marcus' body stiffened for a moment and he hurriedly set up a fire shield.

But it was far from his peak strength.

Even though everyone here was injured and weakened, he lost the most strength.

Thus, when the hammer struck his fire shield, cracks instantly appeared on it and Marcus felt his fire mana roil.

Kacha!

The cracks spread like cob-webs and Marcus was forced to concede a significant part of his concentration to repair and maintain the fire shield.

"Hehe." William grinned and continued striking the Fire Shield.

On the other side, Philia's frown eased as the offense of the fire dragon slowed down.

She looked at William's goofy smile and shook her head, turning her attention back to the Ice dragon.

Marcus' eyes went bloodshot as he tried to match their offenses.

"Hmph!" Philia had a breakthrough soon.

The Ice dragon roared and froze off the fire dragon, destroying the creature.

"Garh" Marcus forced back a sweet lump in his throat. But his eyes were already spinning.

"Roar!"

Kacha!

The sledge hammer kept hitting his fire shields, and the Ice Dragon descended down on him.

Marcus' mind blanked out for a moment and he realized it was all over.

'what I did do wrong?' He though as the ice dragon also attacked his fire shield, and together with the sledge hammer, broke it little by little.

Marcus' body was trying his best to maintain the shield while his mind raced.

'I was reckless. What cost me really was the injury from the core area.' His lips curled into a wry smile as he turned to Xavier who was confronting Sarah and Ashtarh in the distance.

Unlike him, Xavier was in a far better position and even held his own against the two.

Marcus compared his actions with Xavier's along the way.

They were the opposites of each other.

No. Perhaps the real reason was

'I thought I could solve everything with my strength. But I forgot, everyone here is my equals in strength.

If this was a fight against Abyssals, I'd have been long dead.

Maybe I can still change?'

Kacha!

The fire shield broke apart and the ice dragon reached him in the blink of an eye.

Marcus closed his eyes and a silver light flashed from him.

He was eliminated.

One of the top 5 geniuses.

The first one to go.
