Chapter 301: Crazy Plan
Erix had five Gauntlets around him as he flew, all of them moving with his control, releasing punch projectiles of various Punch-type skills.
These Gauntlets had complex magic formations that he and Rin had learned from Advanced Magic Formations present in many Tier-5 skills or other special skills like Four Release of Destruction.
The Gauntlets could execute five types of Punches, each having the capability to use Erix\'s arsenal of powers, including his Concepts.
As he flew across the island, the Punch projectiles that constantly released, but traveled around him, destroying the monsters.
Each punch projectile had Nihilir: Dismantle Enchant to them and they obliterated the monster quicker than anyone.
\'One thousand seven hundred in the first wave, eh?\' Erix looked at the count of monsters and stopped as he saw no monsters around him anymore.
\'I wonder how many monsters spawned in total?\'
"Hey!"
Erix felt a shout directed at him and turned around to see a group flying towards him.
"What?" Erix raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. He felt some kind of hostility from them.
"I know you are powerful. Very much so, but don\'t hoard all the monsters."
"You are just alone, and we may not be able to hurt you here, but outside…we have more people and power to crush you."
Erix was dumbfounded. "Are you all idiots?"
Cracking a wide grin after saying that, Erix said, "I\'ve remembered your faces now. I dare you to fucking appear before me outside with whatever powers you have."
"If I don\'t kill you, I\'ll kill myself."
Instantly, all sixteen people of varying ages from looking in their twenties to their forties felt a chill crawling their backs.
They had seen Erix annihilating everything in his path, so they knew about his power. Naturally, they hadn\'t seen the full extent of it, but they knew the quality of combat that Erix displayed was crazy from his powers.
"Anything to say?" Erix grinned. "If not, then scram and find me outside."
"I\'m sure you\'ll be able to find me easily because the Blessed Island is going to be mine."
"Now get lost."
…
Aria was riding on a big blue whale, while hundreds of birds, fishes, dragons, and other Animated Spirits made up of Flame, Water, Earth, Wind, and Light elements bound together with the Animus element that spoofed a soul and power source in them.
Nobody had seen anything like that. Time and Space elements were also rare, but people in this Abyss had seen it.
However, the Animus element was even rarer seen here and recorded.
According to records, there was only one other person in the Kalaanx Abyss with affinity to the Animus element, and that person was near the peak of the Empyrean-order and would leave soon or may have left already.
The next wave of monsters spawned, and Aria flew around while other people watched her animated spirits obliterating monsters.
"What the hell is that?!"
"Maybe a crazy summoner-type class?"
"I think I heard about this power."
"It\'s the Animus element, one of the four principle elements. Crazy…I didn\'t know it could be this powerful."
"Her spirit stat is off the charts from the power I am sensing from animated spirits."
"This is crazy, she even has her soul awakened. What the fuck….I don\'t know anyone in Royal-order who has awakened their souls."
"If there\'s an elimination of participant vs participant in the next round, we should band together to remove her."
"Yeah. She is a threat."
…
The 3rd round ended with ease as one hundred people passed.
Erix, Rin, and Aria were one of the earliest ones to pass, but the round ended after a total of thirteen monster waves spawned.
The fourth round was a Race that was 10,000 kilometers long…on a 10,000-kilometer tall mountain. The catch was that flying was prohibited, and dangers were abundant.
If a participant died, they could revive once at the half distance backward from where they died.
But if they continued and died again, it was a permanent death.
Moreover, participants could attack each other in this round, making it more dangerous.
As the round started, Erix, Rin, and Aria began at full speed.
Erix tried to teleport out of curiosity and was dumbfounded.
"What the fuck…" Erix paused and spread his spirit sense as his Spiritual Mystic Eye covered a 100-kilometer area around him.
"Flying is prohibited, but I can teleport…" Erix muttered, and his eyes shone with a brilliant glean.
*Roar!!*
Suddenly, a level 300 Royal-order Emerald Frost Leopard pounced on him, but Erix simply looked at it as an ethereal punch of Nihilir element manifested.
\'Print Obliteration.\'
The monster paused mid-air as the punch struck it, yanking it into Space Limbo before the punch exploded and crushed the monster into tiny motes by a condensed space attack enchanted by Dismantle.
[Nihilir Punch: Print Obliteration.]
_Effect: Forcefully pushes a target into Space Limbo with the Oblin Portage aspect of Nihilir and using the space matter in Space Limbo, completely crush the target with the Dismantle aspect with the chaotic explosion of the punch.
This attack was Erix\'s peak single-target attack because it had the highest offensive power he could muster. It had every single one of his offensive powers and energies.
After killing the monster, Erix searched for Rin and Aria and got together with them.
"I have a plan," Erix said with a devilish grin. "How about…we end this event early?"
"What do you mean?" Rin raised an eyebrow.
Aria was also confused.
"Well, I can teleport," Erix laughed. "Guess what we can do with that."
Rin and Aria looked at each other with a confused expression for a second before both of them turned their heads at Erix with a different expression.
Aria was shocked while Rin\'s eyes shone with a grin.
"It seems that you guessed the plan. That\'s right," Erix widely smiled with a thrilling glint in his eyes. "No one should pass this round except for us three."
"We will block all of them near the top and kill them once or twice if they dare to come again. The powerful ones will be there early, but if we three work together, I don\'t think anyone can beat us."
"Waaa…" Aria was slack-jawed, but her eyes also started dancing with excitement. "That\'s going to be so cool…let\'s do it!"
"Wonderful idea, darling!" Rin grinned. "I think this is the only way we can go all-out and use everything we\'ve learned and created."
