Chapter 105: Unfathomable! (1/2)
Elliot could feel that the eyes of everyone were on him right now. A calm and hot wind bellowed, ruffling his brown hair and fluttering his uniform. The onlookers couldn't help but marvel at his existence. With his hands behind his back, he looked like an immortal standing at the peak of a mountain, looking down at the world in all its entirety.
”Fuck! Mom, Dad, I've seen it! I've seen it!!”
”It's the birth of a legend!”
”Thousands of soldiers but none can penetrate through him.”
”He's a wall that won't fall for all eternity.”
”He's a stronghold that can fend off an entire army.
”A tsunami that can overturn the land cannot submerge him.”
”Destruction of the world cannot annihilate him.”
”He is a divine Mountain, one that can shoulder the nine pillars of heaven and defend the land from the invasion of hell without using his hands or moving his feet!”
”He's a goddamn fucking legend!”
Feeling that they have seen a miracle, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Even if Elliot ends up losing, he would be branded as the greatest talent and hailed as a genius who managed to survive the attack of tens of magicians a realm above him! His friends were also praised and hailed by the crowd.
John lowered his head. He wasn't comfortable, not only because this was the first time he became a part of the center of attention, but also because he was feeling genuinely nervous.
”Keep your heads high! We're the only magician in the magical realm that managed to survive an all-out attack from several magicians a realm above us.” Elliot said, ”Can't you hear the crowd? They're cheering for us! All that noise is for us!”
His words boosted John's courage. He raised his head high and saw the crowd that had stood up from their seats, standing on the raised platform and the benches as they cheered for them.
”How is that possible?!” The eyes of Marshall, Warren, and Eliseo opened so wide that they threatened to pop out of their sockets, and their mouth gaped so widely that their jaws threatened to touch the ground. The word disbelief filled every fiber of their beings.
”Our combo can take down even the strongest of monsters in the demonic realm so how come he came out of it unscathed!” Eliseo said. One could see that his mind was slowly crumbling as something far believe the realm of what e considered possible have happened.
”It's simply inconceivable!” Warren said.
”Instructor, please consider the strength of our attack and just think about it rationally. Can mere magicians in the magical realm block that? No! There's no way! They must have used an artifact!” Marshall screamed out.
John heard their words and felt angered by what they said to defame his bro. He retorted, ”You guys are damn shameless. Since you failed to do anything against me, now you're accusing us of cheating. Do you have any morals?! Did your parents forgot to teach you that?”
”Enough!” Theo said, signaling John to keep his mouth shut.
”Roadside Dogs can bark as much as they like, but no one is going to ever understand them. There's no need to bother yourself with roadside dogs.” Elliot added, clarifying why Theo told John to keep quiet.
