Chapter 99: Broken Wheel (2/2)

”It will crush us to death!”

”Are you going or not?” Elliot asked with an amiable smile on his face.

Put up a fight with him? They knew that they would not win, that he would crush them mercilessly.

”We will go! We will go, right away!”

Linda's friend hurriedly turned around to leave the arena, but they only took a few steps before Elliot stopped them for some reason.

”Wait!” Elliot said out loud, and they stopped in their steps.

They turned to fearfully look at him, worried that he has changed his mind and is going to hurt them, and one of them asked, ”Mister Demon, What is it?”

”Demon?” Elliot's eyebrows raised as he said that words.

The terrified and tear-stricken rabbit hurriedly corrected herself, ”No! No! I meant to say, Great Magician, how can I help you?”

Elliot felt pretty satisfied with her response, so he decided to not trouble them anymore.

”Take this broken wheel with you,” he said while motioning then to carry Hurley out of the arena.

”Broken wheel?” Hurley puked out a mouthful of blood at his words, feeling humiliated at being compared to a broken-down wheel. Then, he luckily lost his consciousness. Otherwise, he would have died out of anger.

Linda's friend picked up Hurley and went away, doing as Elliot told them to do, and soon five more people were disqualified from the arena.

”Now then, with the bugs out of the way, let's start the real tournament.”

As if his words were the declaration of war, the participants in the arena started fighting each other. Most of them were hunting down the ones that weren't in a group. While a few went around Elliot and his group as the gigantic fist he created by using 500 units of the essence of life was still above his head and acting as a great source of threat to them.

The King's aid, Eliseo, and Marshall didn't brawl it out with each other either. Instead of targeting Elliot and his friends, they were eliminating the weaker groups and reducing the number of participants.

”Everyone's too afraid to fight us,” John said, feeling lucky since he had automatically qualified for a spot in the top fifty without needing to move a single finger.

”To be correct, they are afraid of the fist hovering above us.” Theo said while gaping at the gigantic fist in the air, then he looked towards the creator of the fist before saying, ”Elliot, your superpower is too ridiculous!”

Elliot laughed it off before he looked at the battle going on in the surrounding area of the arena.

”Looks like we won't need to do anything,” he said with his hands behind his head, whistling without a care as the superpowers of the participants created exploded on his right.

At the same time, different kinds of weapons stabbed the ground on his left, the heavy, rocky punch of a second-year student shattered the arena in front of him, and the clanking noise of weapons clashing against weapons sounded from behind.
