Chapter 42 Mortal Combats
The combat between the first contestants lasted for the whole five minutes and both of them didn't cause that much harm to the other part, they stuck on the basics and they didn't even use their divine energy as they should have.
Just a few fire spells, wind spells, water spells, the physical harm for both of them was only a few injuries, nothing more.
Number 583 was a teenager boy and number 6 was a young adult girl in her twenties, both of them were not that powerful but they had what's needed to come this far, yet when that chronometer indicated five minutes passed, every one stood there anticipating the next event.
The golden chronometer was made by Eagle right after the arena, it looked like an old magic horologe that shined with gold.
Eagle wave with his hand and both of the contestants freezed, everyone was looking at them with eyes filled with fear.
He smirked then said:" First combat is done, number 6 and number 583, both of you are out of the competition"
Even at that moment both of them felt like he was joking with them, they didn't think that he was right about every word he said, they were sad about losing but they didn't think of their death as an option.
Eagle snapped his fingers and both of them started to smell something burning closer to them, they looked in all directions to see the source of that smell but they didn't notice anything that is until contestant number 54 started to yell :"They are on fire, they are on fire ..we should help them"
Number 54 was in a state of panic and the way he talked made a lot of the contestants try to help them survive.
"THE FIRST ONE WHO GET CLOSER TO THEM..WILL JOIN THEM"
And just like that they all stayed at their places watching both of them get burned, Eagle said when he saw thier stunned faces:" Well, i don't mind having a lot of grilled meat"
His sick joke made Ethyl feel uneasy about what was happening in front of her, that dectatorship, those stupid rules, the urge to supress them and exploit them when they level up, she remebered Linen and she became so sure of what she wanted to do.
She could easily fight with Eagle but she forced herself not to, if she did that she would lose all her credibility and the future ahead of her.
Getting rid of these people here won't help her big picture, her plan that she executed for the sake of her freedom.
Eagle didn't let them think much about what happened and processed it, he just announced the start of the nest combat like nothing happened, both of their bodies stayed standing because he froze them until they started to fall apart later.
They didn't scream or try to run away which was not normal to Ethyl but for now she had to think about herself and nothing more..
That's how the last evaluation happened, they all had to fight because their lives were literally depending on that.
Jivan and his competitor were the tenth to pass for the fight, his opponent were a 17 years old boy, he didn't want to fight him, but the boy was too powerful and he wanted to win no matter what, he even summoned a dog and send it on Jivan's way to finish him but seeing that Jivan couldn't just back off and let him kill him, he had a lot to do and he had to survive.
Jivan was struggling on both sides, he wanted to finish the boy with his abilities but he didn't want to show them his powers and that is why he just killed the dog that the boy summoned with his own summoned sword.
He focused on the defense part of the test without taking time in consideration, his emotions played him like a doll. He was about to finish the time without winning the combat when he heard a girl from outside the arena shouting :" You have only one minute ! "
Jivan couldn't believe that the girl he helped in the past test was reminding him of the time, which was his main problem right now, he could win the combat easily if he used his power and gave the boy hard injuries, but that would cause a lot of trouble and that's why he went to the kid with the sword he summoned and stabbed him in his chest but not that hard, it was not a fatal injury.
The stabbing was deep enough to make him fall at the ground in the right time without dying
Eagle announced him as a winner and killed the other contestant fastly before he bled a lot.
Jivan went towards Ethyl immediately and said:" Nice cheering kido!"
Ethyl didn't reply at what he said while he kept on the move until he reached that oak tree and set there trying to rest while the final part ends
Richard won his combat and so did Simon and a lot of Isiah's colleagues, Ethyl won in two minutes when she created a bubble and moved it towards her opponent' head, the bubble was filled with water and that made him suffocate, she released him right when she knew that it was enough for him to fall on the ground, it was very fast and with less effort, just for the sake of hiding her abilities
The test went on and on until all of the combats ended two hours later, 30 was the number of the contestants who succeeded in the third part of the evaluation. They weren't that happy to begin with but they were glad that they survived in those conditions.
The ashes of those who died were teleported into another place right after the exam ended.
" Congratulation, you leveled up", Eagle said with a smile on his face then he walked away with no further explanation.
" I guess that's it"Samuel said while hitting Garen's back, he added " We did it"
