Chapter 712 Next Round
"Nice fight, but you should've beaten him sooner." Klaus comnted when Reynolds walked closer to them.
"I'd like to see how you would fair." Reynolds replied, his tone implying the obvious.
'Let's see what you will be able to do against these monsters while holding back.'
"To be honest, I'd do just fine. Unlike you two, I need to make a grand scene." Klaus chuckled.
Kyle shook his head, still baffled by the fact that Klaus still hasn't given up the idea of joining this all-girls Faction. No matter how one looked at it, it seed pretty much like Klaus wanting to join was mainly because he found out that it was an all-girls Faction.
Grey didn't have any issues with hiding his strength, it wasn't like he was going all-out in the first place whenever he fought in competitions like this. Having eight elents and using only four ant that he couldn't fight to his full potential.
"My opponent isn't bad." Alice said.
"Yeah, but you would take her out if you went all-out." Kyle said.
Alice smiled without replying. She knew Kyle was right. With the Seelie on her side, she wouldn't have any problems. It was just like Grey's inscriptions, she gained another ans of attacking.
She could either rge with the Seelie and be in control of all the elents, or she could let it out and it would attack independently. The best way to utilize this is to battle with it frequently, to improve their synergy together.
Luckily, since getting the Seelie, she had been sparring with the group while they were traveling, so they had a good understanding of each other.
The group continued speaking as they watched the others battles. The number of people was too much so one more round took place.
After this round was completed, the remaining participants had to draw lots before fighting. Overall, in the Mid stages competition, there were around four hundred people left. Whoever manages to get into the top two hundred would get a chance of challenging anyone from the Factions they wanted to join. While getting to the top one hundred would guarantee joining a Faction, only the top ten had the best chances of joining whichever Faction they wished.
There have been cases where so Factions fight over a genius. It rarely happens, but said genius must be extrely talented before they could get these people to make a move.
By the end of the day, they were done with the brawl and it was ti for the draw lots. Reynolds and Alice had opponents in the Sixth stage of the Overlord Plane. Alice didn't have an issue with dealing with soone in the Sixth stage, but without Reynolds' Elental Warrior, then he was as good as eliminated.
"What are you going to do now?" Klaus asked.
"Show off, of course." Reynolds said with a smile.
"Going all out now would an that the Faction will know of your strength and send soone who can deal with you." Kyle warned.
"Don't worry, I have a plan to deal with them." Reynolds reassured.
Grey didn't have any fears for his friends. He had complete confidence in them.
"We should rest tonight, tomorrow is a big day for you two. Advancing ans you can join whichever Faction you want to." Grey said to the group.
They all agreed with Grey and left the arena, heading ho.
Ti went by and the next day ca.
The group went to the arena. Reynolds and Alice prepared themselves for the competition of the day.
When they got there, they had to wait an hour before it got to their turn.
Reynolds was the first person called up. His opponent was an Earth Elentalist in the Sixth stage of the Overlord Plane.
When Reynolds stepped on stage, he drew a few attention.
After confirming from both participants that they were ready, the man in charge of their platform called for the start of the battle.
"You should just leave, I saw your battle with that guy, you're not my opponent." The Earth Elentalist said.
"You don't need to bother about that, we'll see when the battle starts." Reynolds replied.
"Hmph! Better not waste my ti." The Earth Elentalist said.
From their short conversation, Reynolds knew he was a proud person. Defeating people like this gave him so sort of satisfaction.
"Hehe, I won't." Reynolds laughed in response.
The Earth Elentalist didn't waste any ti and attacked imdiately. Being an Earth Elentalist ant lesser speed but higher attack power.
Reynolds dodged the attack coming his way before rushing to counter. The Earth Elentalist already knew Reynolds would take advantage of any mistakes, so he didn't even try to make any.
With his earth elent, he made sure his attack was effective and his defense was even better.
Boom!
Reynolds blocked his attack before countering his attack. The speed of his attack was above that of this opponent, but unfortunately, his opponent was already prepared for it which made it ineffective.
Boom! Bang!
The battle was intense, and no matter how Reynolds tried, he was unable to break the defense of the Earth Elentalist.
The Earth Elentalist however didn't have any problems with his attacks. The strength of his attacks was on a level above Reynolds, while he only attacked when he knew it was necessary.
Grey and the others watching the match knew that if things continued in this fashion, then it ant that Reynolds would be eliminated. But they knew he had a trump card which could keep him safe in this competition.
If he summoned his Elental Warrior, then he wouldn't have any issues with defeating those in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane without any issues.
"When do you think he would call out his Elental Warrior?" Klaus asked, patiently waiting for Reynolds to show off.
"When he knows there's no way for him to defeat his opponent without it." Grey replied, before adding, "If I were him, I'd do the sa."
Alice and Kyle agreed with Grey's reasoning. They too would want to keep their trump card for when it was needed. Using it willfully wasn't really a good thing for them.
"You think so? Why don't he just blow his opponent away, that would be showing off!" Klaus said. Reynolds spoke of showing off, so he naturally wanted that.
"Give him so ti, and he will." Kyle said.
"Okay." Klaus nodded while focusing on the battle once again.
The Earth Elentalist Reynolds was fighting against didn't give him any chance to take advantage, slowly increasing the advantage he had.
Reynolds had the advantage in speed, but his opponent still had the upper hand. The Earth Elentalist had been able to send him flying a few tis, luckily, he had been able to keep himself on the platform without being eliminated.
The Earth Elentalist didn't seem to be worried about this, making sure he hid all the chances Reynolds would get to attack him.
"Just give up, you're only wasting our ti." The Earth Elentalist said when he saw that Reynolds refused to give up after being sent flying for the fifth ti. At this rate, it was only a matter of ti before Reynolds was sent out of the platform.
"You think so?" Reynolds asked.
The Earth Elentalist nodded his head when he heard this. He didn't really an this in an undermining manner, but the truth was that the present Reynolds wasn't his opponent.
"I have one surprise for you, if you can block this surprise, then I have no problems with giving up." Reynolds said with a smile.
"Alright, be fast with it." The Earth Elentalist said.
"Here I co." Reynolds said and rushed towards the Earth Elentalist.
Seeing Reynolds coming at him, he raised an earth wall.
While waiting for Reynolds' attack.
Boom!
The earth wall shook vigorously. His expression changed. He knew Reynolds' attack wasn't as powerful as this.
The Earth Elentalist was stunned. Just when he was thinking about what was making the wall shake so much, he saw it vibrate again.
Boom! Boom!
Sothing powerful continued hitting it, and in the matter of a few seconds, it shattered into pieces.
With the destruction of the wall, he saw sothing that shook him visibly.
'A Summoner!' He exclaid internally.
This wasn't his first ti seeing a Summoner, but he didn't think Reynolds was one since he didn't use it the last ti.
The thing in front of the Earth Elentalist was made entirely of lightning, but it was different from Reynolds' usual Elental Warrior. This summon was like a normal summon.
It was Reynolds secret weapon.
Keeping his trump card would be useless if he doesn't even qualify. Being a high grade summoner gave him an advantage. There's sothing few people knew about high grade summoners, and that is they could lower the grade of their Elental Warrior at will. This ans that Reynolds could actually call out a normal low grade summon.
High grade summoners rarely do this because what's the need of doing so. This is the reason most people don't know that there's such a skill.
Even Reynolds' friends are unaware of this because Reynolds forgot to tell them.
