Chapter 456 Final Round (2)
Some charged mindlessly at the mist, while others tried to make a path by moving the beast. The ones that charged found themselves confused inside the mist.
Skeleton soldiers and the Contract Beasts of Vinay and Rishi attacked them. The participants were all in the late stage of the Elite Stage. Neither they nor their beasts had a chance from the start.
It was a one-sided dominance; Rishi targeted the ones at the back. He ignored the beasts and attacked the master; he bound three to four opponents at once and snatched their badges.
Those with zero bodies were disqualified and were teleported; some were thick-skinned. He showed them no mercy and stabbed them in the hands and legs, forcing them to surrender.
Others tried to fight him by grouping up. He used Shadow Blink to appear between them before he activated his zone. Countless chains appeared and caught every opponent near ten meters from him.
After reaching the epic stage, the size of the zone increased. Which made it even more convenient for him to move around; he was like a ghost in the battle.
Rather than struggling to defeat his opponents, he struggled to not immediately kill them. This was why he didn’t use his technique like ‘Shadow Artilaery’, which could have helped him eliminate his opponents faster.
He only used ‘Frost Nova’ to blast the contract Beasts charging at him in groups. Vinay had also finished his casting, and countless skeletons started charging at the opponents.
Unlike Rishi, he didn’t try to be kind; he ordered them to eliminate whoever tried to face them. The remaining participants also joined when they saw how strong the two masked participants were.
They tried to group up and launch the final collective offense by using their all; this only helped Vinay and Rihsi to eliminate them faster. Vinay cast an Aoe Curse, and Rihsi appeared between them and activated his zone.
Everyone around him was marked before the countless chains charged at them. They were much stronger now, as their strength depended on Rishi’s physical strength.
They constrained the defensive spells and broke them apart. If that was not enough, then Spears of Ice started raining, and countless Undeads charged at them.
“Was that it?” said Rishi. “Why were they too weak?”
“Who knows, maybe we chose the wrong spot to land.” The next moment, they heard the countless beasts cry. They found out that multiple strange beasts with red eyes were approaching them.
Look, Vinay, you don’t need to look for sacrifices, said Rishi as he looked at the beast horde approaching them.
“How convenient! This will help me a lot. I hope they are stronger.” The battle started again, it continued for two minutes before the area around them was filled with corpses.
“They are the lowest quality ones, but they would help to locate other participants. He tapped his staff gently. The next moment, a giant magic circle appeared around him, and the corpses started shaking before they slowly stood up.
Their strength appeared to be enhanced on two levels: “Pretty Impressive; Necromancers are a pain to fight against in dungeons.”
Like agents of chaos and destruction, they terrorized every place they passed through. They laughed and joked, not knowing that others watched each of their actions.

The competition was shown live in the stadium so the audience could enjoy it. This competition could not be accessed live from other places. The stadiums in the city were full as the admissions test was filled with brutal and thrilling battles.𝑛𝑂𝒱𝑬𝑙𝑵𝑬xt.𝗰𝑜𝓂
“Who are these two? I have never heard of them; why do they look like hackers?” said one of the children.
“Kid, this is not a video game here; no gacks can be used; they are both in a league of their own compared to other students. I am also curious about their identities,” replied an elderly man.
“Everyone, I have got the hot news about the identities of those two. Their stories are fascinating. Firstly, they directly entered the Final Round using permission letters; this is why no one of you knows about them,” said the commentator.
“The next thing is that they both received admission letters from multiple universities, including ours, last year,” he added. This explained a lot about them. If they were offered admissions letters, they might be very talented.
“I have also found the reason they did not join any university last year. Hold yourself back, as you might be unable to digest their reason.” said the commentator; everyone was guessing what reason it could be.
“They both had the same reason; they mentioned they would go to seclusion for a year. In which they will work on mastering their knowledge.” said the commentator, holding back his laugh. The others also didn’t know what to say; many still wanted to believe this was just an excuse.
“I know that the fight is boring, but believe me, the stories are a lot more interesting. You will see them both a lot today. You think I am being overconfident? You will know the reason soon.” People became curious.
“First of all, as you may have guessed, they both know each other. Some of you might be wondering how close they are. Let me tell you, they are both from the Almora Region.” This surprised many; they had never thought they would be from that underdeveloped region.
“Surprise! This is just the beginning. They are both from hometowns that are not far from each other. They have both graduated from the Mazar Beast Tamer Academy, which is getting popular in the regions around Almora.”
“Now, let’s talk about their names and fighting styles. The Dark Mage is called Vinay Verma. You know what double ‘v’ means, right? He is a very talented mage who is proficient in only using Death Element spells but has endless variety.” People were surprised to know about Vinay.
“The guy with the blue mask is called Rishi Rawat.” The audience was surprised again; no one had guessed he would be from the Rawat Clan.
“He is from the branch clan and has nothing to do with the Rawat clan of our city. Information about him is tough to believe. This person plays a fighter and an assassin.” Everyone in the audience gasped in surprise.
No one would have guessed he liked to play roles that were different from each other. This combination was not even used by newbies; it was strange for him not to know how bad it was.
“This is just the beginning; the second abnormality is his element, as you have guessed. He is proficient in Shadow and Ice, a combination not used by most. This was abnormal, but nothing out of the box; many beast tamers used strange combinations that worked for them.
“The last thing is his weapon of choice. He is proficient in using multiple weapons. Let me give you some time to guess,” said the commentator.
“two”, “three”, “five,” “ten” The most one could imagine was ten.
“Times up; actually, he can use more than twenty weapons. He had achieved mastery in each of them. Now you know how vital these guys are; they have not even started now,” said the commentator, which made Arena silent.
What kind of talent was this? They might have been able to accept it if they were from a powerful clan, but these guys didn’t have such strong backgrounds.
