Chapter 209: Team knockout exercise (final part)
Luciano's golden flames were surprisingly so hot and powerful that the 3 of them had to defend against it especially since he was conjuring them almost instantly.
They had just defended Esmeralda from a fireball, but that was when they turned and saw Ebony and Ivory flying towards Haldor.
They had wanted to hit the sword of course, but that was when they saw Blake lunch himself forward, kicking Haldor into the sword.
Ding!
A golden barrier appeared and protected him at the nick of time, before teleporting him off the battleground.
Immediately, Haldor was eliminated Blake couldn't help but smile because this only made the battle easier for him to take out the backline, but that was when Camilla appeared in front of him.
Among the 3 of the girls, Camilla was the best candidate not only because of her combat skills but because she was the closest person that could match up to Blake's speed.
'They are literally handling the strongest students by themselves!' The entire school including Castiel, Brian, and Tessie were shocked.
Damon's team wasn't in the best of positions. Before Haldor was eliminated, it was hard for them to keep up with the offense of the 2.
Now that he was no longer around, even a retard knew the battle had already been lost. Besides, even if they were to perform some sort of miracle the rest of Blake's team hadn't acted.
…
On Luciano's side of the battle, Damon had re-engaged him in close combat, but this time it was with darkness tendrils and increased speed from lightning reinforcement.
Theoretically, Damon was meant to be dominating the battle due to his increased speed and the draining effects of dark siphon, but right in front of their eyes, the opposite was happening.
His speed wasn't as fast as that of Blake, but it was not too far from that of Camilla but Luciano was keeping up without any troubles.
Also, whenever Damon tried to grab him with the darkness tendrils, the flames on the part he was grabbing would explode, thereby destroying the tendrils.
'How the hell is he so strong? He hasn't shown this level of strength and control before!' Damon used the side of his eyes and that was when he saw that Haldor had been eliminated.
'At this rate, we will definitely lose. I have to do something now!' Damon retreated from Luciano and began casting night mist.
A black hazy mist began filling the battleground, blinding everyone except his team.
This was a plan for his team to gain the advantage on Blake's end before coming to help him with Luciano, but this meant he had to survive long enough
'Not done yet…' Still being wary of Luciano's sensory ability, Damon activated the necklace artifact that completely erased his presence.
Everyone was allowed to use whatever artifact they had. The rule favored mostly the nobles but they had to be maintained because in the real world artifacts were very important and everyone had to be trained to get used to them.
"This is bad!" Castiel was the first to react when night mist was activated.
Due to being in the same pathway as Damon, he wasn't affected much by night mist.
At first, he wasn't worried much about Blake and Luciano because they weren't your average student, but he became worried when Damon's presence completely disappeared.
"You guys should protect yourselves, I am going to assist Blake." Castiel said as he went into stealth and dashed towards Blake.
He wasn't worried about Camilla overpowering Blake. He was worried that the entire team would use the cover of night mist and gang up on Blake.
He had gotten to Blake who was now surrounded by 3 of the girls, but that was when they heard Luciano chanting.
"The lord of chaos, bestow upon this ground the light that destroys all iniquity."
Immediately the chant was over golden rays of lights burst out of the stone in Luciano's hands, instantly revealing the location of both Damon and Castiel who was already behind Camilla.
"Ahhhh!"
Out of nowhere, Damon's body burst into golden flames as he dropped to the floor and winced in pain.
"We surrender!" Seeing the condition of their leader, Camilla had no other choice than to forfeit the match.
At that moment Luciano walked up to Damon who had serious burns and said. "I was just waiting for you to do that. Nice fight." He gave him a thumbs up before turning around and leaving.
"Winners of the team exercise Team 7!" The referee announced.
'What the eh hell happened just now?' Blake couldn't help but ask the system.
When Damon had activated night mist, he wasn't worried about getting ganged up by the rest of Damon's team because he had the system.
He was worried about Damon attacking Castiel, Brian, and Tessie, but that was when all this happened.
[It was as if the artifact was specifically tailored to face the darkness element, but apart from that there is something interesting about? the chant.] The system said.
'What's wrong with it?' Blake had no clue about chants to activate artifacts so this was an opportunity to learn.
[Some artifacts are made from the essence of a Deity and in order to activate them chants are needed.
The one he used was the same as that of the vermillion rood used during the battle between the demigods. Meaning they are meant to have a similar chant.] The system quickly played the memory of the chant.
"The lord of chaos, Eternal flames that's turns everything to ashes, bestow on your faithful servant the power to turn all my enemies to ashes and fulfill my master's wishes."
[Chants are used to get the attention of the said deity in order to avoid automatically getting smite by the deity when using the artifact.
It always starts with the honorific name of the deity before its titles, then before making the request based on the ability of the artifact.] The system explained.
