Chapter 109: The heated competition (1/2)

A giant cube monitor of about 30 square meters stood above a big Receptor Plate that was placed on stage for everyone to enjoy. On it was being played what was happening in the world inside the painting.

The monitor was divided into different panels with different channels, for them to watch at the same time.

In one of the panels, they saw the expert of the Lupine Family known as Ember, surrounded by 7 people in the area full of tall trees.

Inside the forest, a guffaw resounded, ”Bwahahaha, good job punk for finding me!” Said Ember to the people surrounding him.

”Damn it, what are you saying, don't make it like we are the one searching you!” Said the person wearing a leader armor and was holding a crossbow and having pointed ears.

”Right, you are the one who found us, idiot!” Seconded the black skinhead person with dog ears.

”Yeah, we are just about to poop and you suddenly showed up!” Lashed out a demi-human with bunny ears and wearing sunglasses.

”Man you want to poop too!”

Ember's brow was twitching, 'What are these idiots saying?' He thought. ”In any case, what a fortune that you are gathering here. 1,2,4,5,7! Guehehe!”

”This person is bad at math!”

”Haha, where is the 3 and 6, dumbass?!”

Arrrgh!! Guwaaahh!!! They suddenly heard crying voices besides them.

They glanced and saw two people having big holes on their chests. They glanced back at Ember and noticed his hand was enveloped by fire.

”Hehe, no need for 3 and 6 as they were dead already, bwahaha!” Laughed Ember.2

”Shit! When did he shoot them?!”

'Dang, why does this person have to show up here!' Thought the fourth person.

”In any case, he's alone, let's defeat him!” Shouted the fifth person in their group.

”B-But he's an expert from the great noble family!”

”Do you think we have a choice! Let's kill 'em!”

”He's right, let's break his balls!” The person holding a massive hammer dashed forward.

”Let's go attack together! And revenge our comrade!”

”Aight!!!”

The other people rushed behind the person holding the big hammer. Different kinds of brilliance burst out from their bodies towards their weapons. The other's shot magical energies at him. Swoosh swoosh! Two arrows let loose from the crossbow and flew towards Ember's forehead.

”Hehe, right come at me! Bwahaha!” Said Ember in elation.

The next second, a golden aura burst out on his hand then it turned into a massive furry hand with razor-sharp claws.

The 3 people rapidly leaped to smash him.

However,

[Partial Transformation - The Punisher Hand!]

He whispered.

Boom boom bang, the fired magical energies and arrows hit him but it was blocked by the large furry hand.

Seeing it, the other did not stop their attack and brandished their weapons in hands.

Ember smirked then the razor-sharp claws were horizontally swiped that hit all the approaching enemies, five marks of claws that was tearing the space materialized in the air. It immediately tore the bodies of the charging 3 people.

Ember disappeared from their sight as he leaped in midair towards the two range enemies and slashed their bodies.

His movement was too agile for them to follow. In just a second, their bodies were torn in half.

Only the long marks of claws in the air and the wailing voice of the killed participants had remained.

The seven people's body instantly turned into light particles as their body materialized outside the painting.

”Damn that freak!” Regretfully shouted one of the people who attacked Ember.

”Bwahahaha, hey you losers! How does it feel getting hit by that attack?”

They gawked upon hearing it.

Some people who were gathering around the respawn area asked. They noticed that there were many people in the area. All of them were staring at the giant monitor on stage. While the respawn area was located at the front of the stage to where a wide empty space was. Under them was a big round flat empty surface with a magic array that was written beautifully.

”Damn, this is so embarrassing…” muttered the other guy with bunny ears.

After they materialized, another group of people materialized one after another. Like them, they also spat some regrets, for them to alleviate the bad taste they felt for getting killed too early in the competition.

Until then, they joined forces to the welcoming group, to welcome the fallen warriors. Ahem, they mockingly welcomed the loser warriors like them. And so another squad was formed in the respawn area. Their numbers were rapidly increasing as more losers came out crying.

”Hah, I knew it, those experts from great noble families are of a different league,” a person sighed after his body respawned.

The eyes of the people gathering around the spawn area glowed in red.

Then a moment later,

”Haha, welcome to heaven brother!”

”Good dying day bro!”

”Haha, how is it loser!”

And so on…

The person they welcomed turned stiff at the embarrassing situation.
