Chapter 37: Battle Royale (1/2)

All the twenty-eight participants were in the arena, listening to the rules of the match said by Viarmo on his platform

The rules were simple; first, the weapon used will be dulled and presented by the arena, second; the spells used must not exceed the apprentice level spells, third; don't use a special power like the Thu'um for exa as he/she was thrown out of the arena and their feet touched the ground, even if he/she lost consciousness and woke up again, they can continue fighting as long as they were in

Violators will not be rewarded and will be kicked out

These rules were for the safety of the participants, the arena was also surrounded by a lot of healers just in case

This year's tourna shots wanted to lose any of theht

As everyone choose their weapons from the weapons presented by the arena, the only ones who didn'tand Jon, e and even though he wasn't bad eapons, he wouldn't go out of his way to use the to be a headache even if he didn't use a weapon, he can use barehanded martial art that no one can predict itsout of his ways either

Some of the participants, on the other hand, couldn't find the weapons they fancy and had to use the best ones available they can use

After aat each other with silence, even friends distanced the to be bloody and they were getting ready for it

Unlike Jon and Rusning who just finished the tea ready for this event for days

Most of the players, even though it is shameful in this match, some alliances were e surveyed the arena and the players, as he led a sharp weapon in, he could signal that all was ready

In the VIP area, High King Torygg saw that the people around the arena can wait noaround like a bunch of baboons so he ordered to haste things up

In the arena, Jon was being targeted by many participants now, he was known to be the ultimate victor even if he didn't do well in this ood and this round in the tournament didn't mean much in the score as the point of it was to prove one's bravery by facing many opponents at once

As Viarht foot was already in someone's face, most of the opponents would take time to look at each other and inti hot on heels and started kicking people

Sooner than the anticipated wait, everyone started fighting and it turned hectic very soon, this was Jon's doing

The situation was getting out of hand very quickly, Jon wanted to end the match quickly as he was already on a schedule and wanted toplan

Hewhile avoiding ro of eioons

As he saw that, he activated the 'Longstride' spell and his body was enveloped in green light and started to run like mad

His speed was doubled due to the spell and shook of who ca noticed hi 'Firebolts' at him

As Jon could locate him, he fired back some 'Firebolts' hi

Thisand Jon were on the sides while everyone was caught in the crossfire between the after this

The casting speed of the two eneration was not that bad, as they were dressed in enchanted gear

On another side of the arena, Vilkas and Farkas were fighting back to back, they were brothers so that was expected of their alone and no one disturbed their shon, yet they were avoiding the 'Firebolts' that were thrown at theing attacks on people and pushedcornered by three opponents on his own but he was fending them off well as he found two axes that suited his style

The ht, after a fewlike crazy and all sort of bets were made

As most of the participants were out of the arena, the reht that was mentioned earlier

Farkas and Vilkas picked on Jon, Lydia and Argir were still fighting and it was not going anywhere, Ralof and Ongeiainst each other as it looked like they were runninghis own presence to regain his breath and soainst the two brothers, he never faced Vilkas before but it see opponent as he seeood against him, he even used his brother as a meat-shi+eld sometimes as Farkas was much physically superior to Vilkas

Jon had to be more creative with these two, he tried so many times but one always avoided as the other attacked

Chances came and went, and even Jon as cornered at the side of the arena could finally see one, his oal was to take Vilkas down and Farkas would be less threat, Farkas was retreating with a big step and Jon didn't let that opportunity go

He jumped and stomped at Farkas's hip with a foot and the other landed on his face, just as Vilkas was advancing to save his brother, Jon used the kick on Farkas's face as a footing, and his other leg kicked at Vilkas's head

Vilkas took the hit perfectly and his head was launched taking the rest of his body out of the arena, the people cheered after they saw that

Jon as still landing had no way to control his body now and it seee of the situation and kicked a straight kick at Jon
