Chapter 1031 - He Escaped Again!
Chapter 1031 – He Escaped Again!
In the elder's watching room, Kayla simply didn't care anymore. 'So what if everyone's angry that we got all those Divine Veins?! Fuck it! Give me everything! I'll use them all! The more, the better!' Well…even the other organizations began to get used to it. There was more helplessness than anything else in their feelings, seeing the twins taking everything.
Outside of the room where the physical one-on-one competitions were being held, Rean finally joined Wamil and the others, telling them, "Well, another Divine Vein."
Wamil's group bitterly smiled in response. Rean was talking as if it wasn't anything important. "Yeah…another one."
Fabio once again appeared outside and began to call for the next competition. "The next category is the Free for All Battle. The participants can enter the same room as the one for the physical competitions. Don't forget, only one participant of each organization can take part in it."
Roan then began to make his way to the room. Obviously, everyone who would take part in it did the same. Eventually, a little more than three thousand participants joined that contest. There were 3889 organizations participating in this assembly, but quite a few felt that it would be tantamount to suicide for them to take part in this next category. After all, this was nothing more than a battle royale. The last one standing would win.
Ravio, who was responsible for the last competition, would also be the one responsible for this. "Alright, it seems like all of you are here. As you can imagine, there aren't any rules other than the last one standing wins. Skills, physical strength, guerrilla warfare, hiding, ambush, whatever! Everything is valid if it can give you the title in the end."
Ravio then showed a serious expression as he continued, "This is usually the competition where we have the biggest number of casualties. I'll give you all just one chance. If you don't want to die, leave now."
However, everyone kept silent, without a single soul heading to the spatial door. Ravio was right. Many would die here. However, this was also the competition that favored the luckier the most. From previous assemblies, rarely did the strongest win. Everyone, especially the smaller powers, was aiming for this stroke of luck to get a Divine Vein.
Seeing that no one moved, Ravio nodded in satisfaction. "Very well." He waved his hand, and soon, the spatial door disappeared, separating the participants inside from those outside. "The arena's protection formations will be deactivated, so you don't need to avoid them if you don't want to. Also, make sure you don't mistake the elders watching this competition for a participant. Last but not least, as long as you say you give up, the elders will take you out of this battle. Well, just make sure you say that in time for them to arrive where you are. If you get killed before they take you away, then it's your fault for not knowing your limits."
After that, he gave everyone a countdown. "The Free For All Battle will start in five minutes. You can all position yourselves as you see fit. No attacks are allowed before that."
Immediately, many cultivators began to move away from the center. Some went to join their friends from other powers. There were those who simply wanted to form a strong team without caring about their background, so they called out other stronger cultivators. Then, there were the ones who wanted to be alone…or were left alone. Roan was obviously in the two last categories. First, he didn't want to join anyone. Second, no one wanted to join him either, all because of the many Divine Veins he and his brother took. The others didn't want to give them a single extra.
Of course, everyone knew that only one could win this thing. Nevertheless, it was easier to survive near the end with a team rather than being alone. The only question would be when their own teammates would betray them…not that they wouldn't do that in the end either.
Last but not least, the teams began to discuss who they should aim first…which wasn't too hard to guess. 'Kill the black-haired twin! Or at least, force him to give up!' Even though it wasn't planned, all the teams reached the same conclusion. Well, Roan was expecting as much anyway.
Eventually, the last seconds before the battle royale started arrived, so Ravio counted down. "10, 9, 8…"
Everyone took out his weapons and looked at Roan in the center of the room.
"3, 2, 1…start!"
'Light and Divine Sense bending skill!'
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…*
As soon as Roan activated Rean's concealing ability, the position he was located in was bombarded by skills from everywhere! However, the dust quickly settled, showing nothing more than a large and empty crater. As for Roan, he was nowhere to be found.
Fabio and Ravio sighed when they saw that. Obviously, they already understood the first time Rean and Roan battled that they had a very high-level concealing ability. It's just that the others didn't know because Roan's Death World covered the rest of the participants' vision.
Fabio and Ravio then glanced at a certain corner of the room as they used their Divine Senses. It's just that their eyebrows couldn't help but twitch a little. Roan was there, laid against the wall while having a wide vision of the entire field. It was obvious that he intended to spend his time watching everyone else killing themselves.
Fabio and Ravio were right.
'Hmph! Even an idiot could tell that you all wanted me out of this battle,' Roan thought with a look of disdain. He then smiled as Dark and Light Element gathered somewhere close to him.
The teams looked at each other while the cultivators who were alone kept their distance. The tension quickly built up with Roan's disappearance. Should they make a truce and look for Roan first? But then again, how many would accept that, and how many would be speaking the truth? Everyone was, after all, enemies!
Suddenly, Roan appeared once again… trying to attack one of the teams!
"Kill him!"
"Wait!"
The group that was attacked by Roan suddenly became the target of everyone else's skills.
When the dust settled, most of the targets died, with just a few remaining. However, Roan was nowhere to be seen.
"He escaped again!"
Well, the fact was that Roan didn't. Roan was hit by the skills, and he was destroyed…his clone, that is!
'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'
