Chapter 223 - Battle Royale (1)
Hengki clenched his teeth and realized that he had underestimated Theo.
Theo landed on the ground with a calm expression, saying, "It's time for me to leave. Goodbye."
Without any shame, Theo turned his back to the enemy and ran away.
"What?!" Hengki was bewildered by his action before he soon realized something was up. It turned out, Theo had been calculating their fight, including the time of their fight.
They had been fighting an intense fight for one and a half minutes, allowing the others to catch up.
"Captain!" Yuda widened his eyes, never expecting to see their Captain look injured. "Did they gang up on you?"
"No. Kh. We should chase them right now." Hengki shook his head and began to fly to the sky again. "I'm afraid they have arrived at the flag."
Australia had five people coming while they only had four. Hengki glanced at the long-haired man and said, "Nicholas. How about we team up first to stop Thersland from taking the flag? The time limit is five minutes."
The long-haired guy thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, knowing that their immediate threat was Thersland. As long as they bought enough time, they could win by defeating all their opponents later.
"Let's—" Hengki wanted to tell the others to go, but he soon saw forty Magic Bullets flying toward him from the ground. Yet, the one who shouted was also him. "Watch out."
The Magic Bullets that flew toward him suddenly made a sharp turn to the ground, aiming at both teams.
They all avoided it of course, but they soon realized why Hengki actually stopped here until they caught up. The opponent was indeed a troublesome one.
Little did they know, a bit farther away from them was Theo's clone, who kept giving him the visual for him to strike them down. However, Theo hadn't revealed the clone he dispatched from the start yet.
After recovering from that attack, all of them quickly ran forward and found Theo regrouping with his teams one minute later. At that time, they saw Phyrill holding a metal pole with a red flag on top of it. Luckily, the flag was still attached to the ground, so he thought Phyrill couldn't move if he held it. However, Hengki could see the timer on that red flag from the sky.
2 Mins.
It was an abbreviation for two minutes. Whether Phyrill had held it for two minutes or they only needed to hold it for another two minutes to win, Hengki didn't care anymore and ordered. "They're here. Attack!"
He flapped his wings as many feathers fell off his wings. He waved his hand and the feathers suddenly came to a halt in the air before Hengki released them like that of a bullet.
"Castle!" Sihan came to the front and a translucent green shield with the height of fifteen feet formed in front of him, blocking all the feathers that felt like Theo's Magic Bullet.
Because of the severity of the fight, the referee also watched them nearby, close enough to stop the fight if necessary but had enough distance to avoid any of their attacks so as to not bother their fight.
Suddenly, Phyrill turned to the right as he saw a man appearing out of nowhere. When he was about to protect himself, Phyrill's transformation became undone.
"What?!" Phyrill drew a gasp and took out his sword, blocking the man's dagger. Unfortunately for him, due to his power leaving his body, he got blown away and lost his grip on the flag.
Not wanting for the others to grasp it, Phyrill tossed the flag to the side as the latter landed just next to a tree.
Still, it was enough since no one would possess the flag for a moment.
Phyrill then took a closer look at the man and noticed he was Yuda from Indonesia Team. Just like Theo, Phyrill might be the one who cared so much about information and realized who he was. "You're Yuda. Your blessing comes from Indonesia's Famous Evil Spirit, Tuyul. Robbing the rich… I see, the reason I can't use my transformation right now is due to your ability…"
Yuda stopped for a moment before jumping to the flag as another person from Australia Team emerged from thin air, trying to grab the flag.
"It seems Alliance is not necessary." Yuda smiled and kicked the girl away. "I see. You're Lucy McKenzie, the famous Rainbow Snake."
"…" Phyrill's expression turned serious as he realized that the female had just returned from snake form. In other words, all of them seemed to have a blessing. Phyrill released all his lightning while grinning excitedly. "It seems… getting the "W" won't be that easy."
At the same time, water began to come out of the ground, trying to flood the area. The one who caused something like this was none other than Indonesia Team's Ratu Ayu.
"Ellen, be careful. That one is quite tricky. Her blessing is classified as either Mythical or God Rank, Nyi Roro Kidul." Theo informed her while he focused on Hengki.
"Understood. To put it simply, I only need to handle the queen of the sea, right?" Ellen smiled and placed her hand on the ground. "Ice Wave."
Not only the Ice Spikes emerged from the ground in a fan-shaped area, but the ice also froze the water to prevent her from using it.
However, a man appeared and hit the Ice with his fist, cracking the top layer of ice and allowing the water to rise again. After that, he waved his hand upward and created two pillars of water that somehow moved like a whip.
The left one went toward Ratu, which the latter neutralized with her control over water, while the right one was cut by Laust, who came to Ellen's rescue.
"That guy is Harrison. He also has a blessing called Luma Luma or whatever its name." Laust turned serious as he gritted his teeth. "And I hate those guys who have a blessing."
To fight two Blessed People, Laust and Ellen decided to stick together.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sihan took a deep breath and looked at his opponents. Luckily, his opponents seemed to have no Blessing, so it was going to be a full brawl.
His opponent was Gunardi, the muscular man from Indonesia Team, and Dominic and Logan from Australia Team.
Still, the one that excited people the most would be the last one… The battle between all four leaders.
Australia Team Leader, Nicholas. Indonesia Team Leader, Hengki. Thersland Team Leaders, Alea and Theo. It was the peak of the battle.
