Chapter 1326 Cap 1324: Second stage of the qualifiers part 3

?Pov Elena (Demigoddess of Survival):

I entered the Tournament on Fenrir's advice, I'm not the weakest of the Beast God Demigods, but I'm certainly the one with the least combat experience.

Unlike my comrades who enjoy fighting, I normally avoid combat until necessary, I believe in avoiding danger as much as possible, and only fighting when the odds of winning are firmly in our favor.

Of course, I still train to use my skills to the fullest and be able to protect myself, but even when facing Evil Gods or Demigod Level Monsters, I always try to be as prepared as possible and if necessary call someone to fight by my side.

But it seems like something is happening, my instincts have always been very sensitive to danger and I pride myself on reading the bigger picture naturally while always paying attention to the details.

But this tournament that never existed in the past where Divine beings are the participants seems more than just suspicious to me, especially for the Demonic God of Evil, someone everyone hates.

I've also heard that the hunt for Evil Gods has been more intense in recent years, Heroes appear in numbers that I've never seen before, this almost makes it seem like all the Gods are looking for Heroes, not to mention that many Champions have emerged, which it makes it seem like something big and urgent is approaching.

The God of Beasts who hates meetings with other Gods has been holding many such meetings, many planets in the universe are experiencing global threat crises and the arrogant God of light is increasingly active in his Religion, at this point, he is between the line of guide almost crossing to govern.

All these things tell me that I need to be stronger to survive, seeing all these signs makes my instinct scream to run, but without knowing where it is safe I should be strong enough to fight if necessary.

Unlike what many Demigods say about me, I'm not a coward, I don't have the power to fight and I'm also not afraid to kill, but my survival is more important to me than stupid things like honor, greed, or any of those other meaningless things.

"This tournament will be good training..." (I)

-----------------

The first stage of the tournament was interesting, I could have avoided participating, but I made a point of fighting from the first stage to warm up my bones.

There was another Demigod in my second three-sided game, we quickly threw the mortal out and resolved it between the two of us, unfortunately, he was a magical type, and because of that the fight ended quickly.

The second stage that came after was more interesting, I only faced the creatures of the Abyss a few times, and their strange adaptability will be perfect for my training.

Just as I thought, hunting these Abyss Creatures was a good way to fight, I only went after those closest to my strength level on the first day, it was very interesting to see how much less effective my strikes became the more I used them in a more effective way repetitive.

After 1 day of hunting I only faced 7 or 8 Abyss Creatures, apart from those I destroyed I also found another 10 that I chose to ignore, even without telling us the scoring rule in this second stage of the tournament, the most obvious would be that the Abyss Creatures stronger ones were worth more points, combining this with the fact that a weaker enemy was of little use in my training made me choose my fights more carefully since time is limited.

When I realized that it would be night soon I thought about the dangers of continuing alone, unfortunately, I haven't found any other participants so far, the Creatures of the Abyss adapt quickly, and in the dark, they can try to camouflage themselves as some may already be acquiring some type of intelligence, The best thing would be to find a partner to spend the night together.

If I were able to rest for 2 hours it would be enough to maintain my pace tomorrow or continue hunting during the night, but for that, I would need someone watching during my rest, there is no reason for us to fight among ourselves at this stage, but it would still be prudent to be cautious and it would be great to find someone you can trust.

I stopped fighting, giving priority to looking for a candidate, I did my best, but I wasn't finding anyone until I saw a large amount of dust rising from a place further away.

When I got there I didn't find anyone immediately, but after a short time looking around I found a Vampire boy, I knew immediately who he was, I think few people won't recognize the youngest son of the Blood Goddess.

His Aura is as strange as I've heard, normally a person's Aura stands out from the Natural Aura around it, but his Aura complements the Aura around it even though it's so different.

I heard that he was invited by the God Cratos, which means he is trustworthy, so I thought it would be the best choice when I invited him to camp with me, of course, it would only be for a few hours.

At first, I thought everything was going well, but a few minutes after we built a camp with magic, a large number of hundreds of Creatures from the Abyss attacked us.

The vast majority of them were weaker, but there were still some equal in strength to me, both Zenos and I had to attack with our full power since there was no way to escape.

We had to fight to open a path where we ran, but this was just 1 of several attacks, every time we stopped or sometimes even on our way, more of these Abyss Creatures attacked us.

I couldn't understand how they were finding us so quickly or why they were always in groups since during the day I found them alone almost every time.

With no choice we continued running and fighting all night, I must have killed thousands of Abyss Creatures during the night, many more than those I killed during the day.

I was more tired when the sun rose over the horizon than when the sun disappeared into the distance.

Unfortunately, even during the day things did not improve, we continued to encounter groups of Creatures from the Abyss, some of these groups we were able to exterminate because they did not have the numbers to defend themselves and even less were any among them able to face us head on.

In one of the brief moments of rest where I could get my mind in order, I decided to move away from the boy thinking that his unique Aura might be attracting the Creatures of the Abyss, which seemed to make sense.

In the past, I've seen mortals with pure Elemental affinities attract Fairies, Spirits, and even Elemental Monsters with their Auras, so it seemed possible in this situation.

Since there were only the two of us here, it could only be him since I know my Aura very well, so I'll try to get away from him before I end up trying to fight even more.

------------------

Pov Zenos:

I knew that during the night it would be worse, it's always the same thing, the creatures kept coming to the point that I used my Divine Incarnation twice, at least I think I shouldn't lack points for me to pass this stage, the number of Creatures of the Abyss I killed was more than I expected.

Ever since I found Elena, I thought everything would start to get better, but with every step, our pure destruction was left behind, entire forests became deserts, mountains became valleys and there was even one time where we found a city only to shrink the entire place in destroyed ruins.

Fortunately, I didn't find any more competitors, there are clearly people trying to eliminate the competition and I didn't need any more problems than I already had.

On the afternoon of the second day Elena separated from me, she was a strange woman, at first glance she looked like a man due to the way she dresses, moves, and her haircut, her body also doesn't have a very feminine silhouette, but as soon as she started to fight her appearance changes a lot.

Elena said few things, but it was clear that she distrusted me, I can't blame her as we fought so many battles with almost no time to rest, I'm happy to have found her, we were able to divide the hordes of Abyss Creatures attacking us in half since we couldn't really fight together due to the tournament rules.

----------------

In the early evening of the second day I was attacked once again, the Abyss Creatures that attacked fell into my traps, their bodies being destroyed by death curses and saturation attacks, before stopping to rest I set up several traps around.

As time passed I decided to return to the arena in the middle of the night, I didn't want to continue facing this stage of the tournament, so if I'm around I'll be able to leave everything behind as soon as I hear the signal for the end of this stage, it wasn't surprise Elena was in first place while I took second place, so we both moved on to the next stage.

After the 2 day break announcement, I met with Elena once again, this time Natasha joined the conversation, it seems that my sister was looking for me thinking about using my bad luck to fight even more, which didn't work out as don't find me.
