Chapter 26 - 24 Final Test

24: Final Test 24: Final Test The moment Axel’s kick landed on the knee joint of the Orc, its knee bent down into the ground as the beast partially lost its balance. The orc continued to punch the puny human, but Axel dodged all of them again. He also made multiple attacks at the orc which he did not miss. When the orc was thrashing him back then, he had lost grip from his sword, so now he was fighting bare handed. While in his increased physical strength he could deliver powerful attacks with his bare hand but it wouldn’t be enough. Axel would be the first one to run out of energy if this keeps on going. While continuing to fight the Orc, he moved towards a certain direction. When he was close enough, he picked up a sword lying on the ground with his bloody hands. As the audience saw how a human was single-handedly keeping up with a powerful Orc, all of them cheered thunderously. They continued to chant, Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Rak’sha’shah! Even the VIP room became eerily silent at that spectacle as they could not believe that someone from a lower status with fewer resources was performing so exceptionally. Ken had a visibly had a furious expression on his face, as he became a joke to everyone since he mocked the Valkyrie yet her statement was close to becoming the truth. Ken said, “Even if he can fight that thing for a while, with that bloody state, he will collapse at any moment.” The Valkyrie did not respond to his mockery as her expression remained lifeless, no matter what changes happened within the battle arena. The 4th had a thoughtful expression as if analyzing the fight with a lot of focus. The other princes and princes of the concubine had a displeased expression, but did not care too much about it. They only wanted to mock the Valkyrie and the 4th prince, they didn’t care about the competition or the fight. In the meantime, Axel’s assault grew stronger as his sword continued to cut deep inside the Orc’s body. Axel suddenly performed a strange movement as he jumped high in the sky and made a powerful vertical cut…….. SHHHLLLKKT! THWUMP! The sound of a sword cutting through the flesh could be heard clearly by everyone as the hand of the Orc, which was holding the large axe, got separated from the Orc’s body with a clean cut. A terrifying cheer broke into the audience the moment it happened. But Axel did not care about anyone’s reaction, a fountain of green blood came out of the cut on Orc’s hand as it howled in pain, Awwwwhwhhhhhhhhhhwhwhh Axel attacked again using that opportunity. This time, he attacked the knee joint of the creature that was mostly injured. He slashed at that section, and its leg got severed. Without waiting for one more moment, Axel plunged his sword right into the heart of the Orc. But it still didn’t die, just as he was about to pull out the sword and stab the damn thing multiple times. A spear came flying out of nowhere and stabbed into the throat of the orc. Another came straight towards its head as he promptly blocked the arrow, but in that fraction of a moment, another arrow came and pierced the eye of the orc. It howled in pain again. Before he could cut off the head of the Orc, someone slashed at his back, and a transparent energy barrier protected him, meaning the attack could have taken his life, and he was eliminated. Axel was strangely calm in that situation. That person ran past him in a second, and with a sword swing, the orc’s head was separated. Axel only kept looking at that person, and it wasn’t Crow or Viper. It was someone else. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the person beheaded the orc’s head, even though it was only an inch away from death. He looked at Axel with a mocking smile and said, “Remember my codename, Salazar, it’s green dagger.” The audience continued to cheer thunderously at the sudden turn of events that unfolded, which no one expected. Axel’s gaze did not move; his blood-red eyes kept staring at the bastard who stole his kill with a soul-piercing gaze. Eventually, the guards took him away, but the piercing gaze of Axel did not move away until he was out of sight. Many people had a disappointed expression on their faces, as the one who put in the most effort was unable to get the kill in the end. In vip chamber, Ken Dusker snickered seeing the bastard get his kill stolen like that. While 4th prince shook his head in disappointment. Crow and Viper within the arena also had an unsightly expression on their faces, while they did go for the kill at the end, they did not stab ‘Salazar’ in the back and try to disqualify him for the round. They would have preferred for him to get the kill at the end instead of letting someone else have it. Most of the contestants were glaring at ‘Green Dagger’ but the latter didn’t seem to mind much about it. He was beyond happy, thinking about how easily he stole the kill. 1 hour passed to heal all the injured participants who were inflicted with major and minor injuries, everyone was back in the area after getting healed. It also took some time for all the contestants to recover mentally. The wall that divided the arena into two sections was brought down slowly. Many contestants from both sides came together and started to inquire about how things went on the other side. Both sides were shocked to hear what happened. On the other side, most of them banded together after some time, and close to 700 among the 900 people fought together simultaneously. But it became quite messy since so many people were trying to fight the creature, people only got in the way of each other, and the Orc on the other side ended up winning despite being badly injured by the assault of everyone. When the participants of the other side heard that someone codenamed Salazar almost killed the orc alone at the end, they could not believe their ears. They immediately disregarded any notion of that being the truth and started labelling the ones saying such things as liars. The Examiner flew on top of the colosseum again, and everyone’s attention landed on him. He snapped his fingers and the sound forced everyone’s who was still talking to turn quiet. The Examiner announced loudly, “Now, it’s time for the final test of the competition. You all might be wondering when the written test will be taken?” “Unfortunately or fortunately, we have decided to ditch that test, since it was something like a formality in the first place. The individual battle part had also been modified.” “Approximately 1900 contestants remain now, You will be divided into 19 groups with 100 members in each group. Each group will be situated in a circle, and all 100 will fight each other. If a participant is pushed out of the circle or receives a killing blow, they are eliminated. The last one standing among the 100 will automatically get a spot in the academy regardless of the previous results.” “Don’t worry, your masks are powerful artifacts that will save you at the moment you are about to receive a killing blow,” stated the Examiner boldly.
