Although other Regalons had some thrilling fun and close calls as the hours passed and Phantom got stronger, Almond just stayed still and destroyed everything that approached him in a passive state while he focused on prehending Sand of Vibrant Waves.
The survival goal was 100 hours, and all Regalons were still surviving as the 60th hour passed by, and everyone entered the pocket dimension for a break of five hours.
And Almond finally broke through his Sand of Vibrant Waves to Paragon-rank. He used another 10 hours of Custom Insight Stone for it, otherwise, it could take longer time.
Still, everyone had acquired five super rewards like Custom Insight Stones, as they had survived 12-hour cycles 5 times, and the rest of the rewards were stat-increasing ones.
Everyone was thrilled to get these rewards that were better than rewards from the previous top-tier Chaotic Dimension, so it fueled them to survive longer as they wanted to get as many rewards as possible.
Big D wanted to strengthen Regalons, and letting them use this chaotic dimension was the best way.
As the audience was watching the Regalons struggling and winning against Phantoms, the first Regalon was finally eliminated at the 81st hour.
As the Phantoms became more and more powerful, it became harder to survive.
More Regalons began to be eliminated from the Dark Forest, which in turn increased the viewership and activity of the audience watching. Betting increased drastically.
Everyone was being watched and bet on except for Almond. Everyone just knew he would be the last one surviving without even moving an inch.
[ I bet Admiral Rudra will also survive until the end! ]
[ Tough, but we can bet on it. ]
[ I think that guy called Finn is about to get fucked. He will give up any time now. He had yet to defeat the two Phantoms, and the third one just entered the fray. R.I.P]
[ If he can kill one fast and recover energies, there's a chance he would survive. ]
[ Oh shit, only 3 minutes left until the hour is over. He needs to survive to get the last reward, at least. ]
[ That steel fortress girl, Eliara, made a pretty solid survival solution. She knows this is the last hour she will survive, so she has prepared a defense for survival. ]
[ And it's the 83rd hour lol. If they could just survive another hour after this, they'd get the break time. ]
…
93rd hour.
The number of survivors was utterly low.
Among the old monsters, only Admiral Rudra, Silvester, Hiroshi, Arjun, James, Theo, Liang, Viktor, Bianca, Zauna, and Aarav survived. The rest got eliminated.
Aside from them, Liam Sunbreak, Ruyi Hexing, Quinn Firefly, and Damian Silverfang were surviving, but they were bound to give up during this hour as things were too difficult.
Constantly moving at Hyper Speed 3, they fought against two Phantoms at the moment, and if they didn't eliminate one quickly, the third one would join soon in the next minute, and it would be over.
But it was taking everything just to survive the onslaught of two Phantoms and the random projectile attacks.
Meanwhile, among the younger generation, only Natalia, Emma, Maya, Marcus, Noah, Kira, Mira, and Kayla were surviving.
Talia, Amir, Jian, and Adria were eliminated an hour ago, but they did well surviving that far while other Grim Breakers were eliminated earlier.
The main thing keeping everyone surviving at the moment was not just for their own good, but also the rivalry.
The old monsters were rivals for many years, and although they knew everyone was not the same, and that Rudra was the strongest among them, it didn't stop them from striving further.
Meanwhile, the Grim Breakers were the same, but since they had seen Almond once among themselves, they wanted to strike harder to get as close to Almond and Lily as possible and to contribute to the House of Regalon.
Still, almost all of the above were eliminated during the 96th hour, and it was a break-time hour. If they had just survived, they could take a 5-hour break and also get a super reward for surviving the eight 12th-hour.
The only ones surviving were Almond, Admiral Rudra, Arjun, and Zauna.
Zauna Okoro was a master sorcerer of debuffs and control with mastery over five elements, two of which were Ascent-rank. But what made her survive this far was the new abilities of Regalon Geneline, as they boosted her bat power to a new height since she improved a lot while surviving these 96 hours, creating more assets and establishing a better bat style.
Alas, Arjun and Zauna were eliminated in the 97th hour.
[ Damn, will Admiral Rudra survive till the end? ]
[ He is doing pretty well. Just that he needs two punches to kill a Phantom than one like before. ]
[ Well, fuck it! I am betting everything on him surviving the 100th hour! He can fucking do it. ]
[ Hell yeah! ]
Admiral Rudra streaked like a light across the forest with a monstrous Phantom behind him.
Suddenly, a magical glass manifested before the Phantom as it slammed into it.
The Phantom was frozen and struck in space, a debuff freezing him in his position for just one mere second. In the next moment, Admiral Rudra's fist arrived, enveloped with dimension glassy shapes with lapis blue and indigo sparks.
BOOM!
Blasting the phantom out of existence with his full power, Admiral Rudra recovered 30% of his energies right as another Phantom arrived.
He also used a Spirit to recover further and began running away.
He punched once to activate various abilities, especially the new Geneline ones, and continued running as he severed the attributes and adjusted them.
The Phantom slowed down, but it was stronger than Admiral Rudra and could resist to a certain extent.
But just like last time, Admiral Rudra applied a custom debuff, froze the monster, and finished it off with a second punch of pure offense.
Zap!
Right as he destroyed the second Phantom, his pupils shrank as he felt a threat.
Trying to dodge and defend, he moved his other arm, which flickered with a crackling, round shield, but before it could fully form, the dark gold spear crackling with blue lightning tore through his arm and exploded, blasting him away.
Cursing inwardly, Admiral Rudra stood up quickly and closed his eyes, sacrificing a spirit to heal himself as he began meditating fast while a barrier formed around him at a 50-meter radius. Making the barrier longer wasn't wise since Phantoms would attack from over 50 meters radius at the speed of peak Hyper Speed 3, requiring instant evasion to survive.
[ One hour and nine minutes, man! ]
[ You can do it! ]
[ And King Regalon is still in the same position…]
[ But it's so cool that the Regalons can now do some crazy stuff. Like all of them seem to have some terrific control-type powers now. ]
[ Yeah. I think it's over for the Big Ten soon. ]
[ Unfortunately, the Big Ten will do something to weaken them. That's how it has always been. ]
[ Fuck them. Why can't the rest of the cosmos just work together against them? ]
[ Dumbass. It's because they are strong. If everyone were as strong as the House of Regalon, there wouldn't have been the Big Ten in the first place. ]
