Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both - Chapter 314: Commencing The Battle[II]

Before entering everyone was given a smartwatch with highly advanced features.

Just as everyone was lost in thoughts, they heard a beeping sound.

As the holographic interface flickered to life before their eyes, each fighter’s mind raced with anticipation and calculation.

‘Could this be the notice?’ They pondered, with thoughts racing faster than their heartbeats. It was a rare sight, this interface displaying something beyond their usual sense as they saw a group of tests appearing in their eyes.

[Instructions]

-You cannot die. In case of death, you will be transported outside.

-Points are awarded based on the strength of defeated beasts.

-You can fight one another and defeat them to get their points.

-Defeating and killing others grants half of the points they collected.

-You have five hours to accumulate points.

-Rank would be displayed on your smartwatches.

…

With the simplicity surrounding the instructions, clarity finally reigned amidst the chaos of their thoughts.

With the timer ticking down relentlessly, they knew every second was precious.

‘Hmmm,’ Avalon berated himself, his mind racing to catch up with the urgency of the moment.

The bulkhead Orc snickered looking at the watch.

“I have wasted a lot of time…”

Saying this he pulled out his axe and swung clearing a vast area of vegetation.

SWISH!

A huge arc of condensed aura shot around destroying everything.

“Everyone be prepared to be obliterated…..I am coming…”

….

As the holographic interface flickered to life before their eyes, Morbius found himself standing alone in a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees that obscured the sky above.

His heart raced with tension as he surveyed his surroundings, knowing that he was far from his companions and facing whatever challenges lay ahead on his own.

But beneath the tension, lay a burst of excitement as he finally got the stage to showcase himself to the whole world.

“Hmm! It seems every one of us was transported to an anonymous location…”

He gripped the katana in his hands tightly as he survived the dark covering of thick foliage that hid the sunlight.

He was quite excited about the academy after he knew that someone of his age had managed to cause mayhem.

Morbius grew up in Dimensional Zones and studied here from the beginning. His reputation had been spread far wide due to his monster skills but this great strength brought him a great deal of dissatisfaction.

The reason…

It’s because he had never fought to his heart’s content but soon he found hope.

He had heard about Seph for a long time but even before he made it big, he was killed by Leon.

His palm itched to fight Leon after seeing him.

The thick and intense aura of power around him made that guy worthy to be his foe but to his shock, he wasn’t in the academy but in the spectator’s stand…

“It seems, I need to overwhelm everything and everyone here to create a big ripple..”

As soon as he finished his inner monologue, he heard the sound of footpaths getting faster.

A grin appeared on his face and with a step, he disappeared causing a stir.

After he disappeared, a blackish smoke flickered and two greenish pairs of eyes.

[As expected of Liege, he truly knows how to distinguish good ones.]

……..

Meanwhile, Zara, an elf, emerged into a clearing bathed in the soft light of dawn, the air filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers. She could hear the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze and the distant calls of birds in the distance but behind a serene backdrop, Zara raised her bow and pulled the string.

Soon, the beautiful vegetation around him turned wild, turning into monsters and charging at him.

In another corner of the forest, Drax, a minotaur, found himself standing on the edge of a steep cliff, the wind howling around him as he peered down into the chasm below.

Far from the lush greenery of the forest floor, he was stranded in a forsaken dried mountain.

“Shit! It seems, my luck is the shittiest out of all.”

Liara, a half-giant on the other hand, found herself in a labyrinthine network of caves, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and echoing with the sound of dripping water. She moved silently through the shadows, her senses alert for any sign of danger as she prepared to face whatever creatures lurked in the darkness.

And in a distant part of the forest, a huge bull-headed beastman a mighty w charged forward with primal fury, his massive horns gleaming in the dappled sunlight as he clashed with his monsters in a thunderous display of strength.

Meanwhile, deep within the heart of the forest, Durin, a dwarf , wielded his trusty hammer with unmatched skill as he faced down the creatures that dared to challenge him.

Despite their disparate locations and races, each of them felt the same sense of urgency as they set off into the unknown, their minds focused on the task at hand and their hearts filled with determination to emerge victorious against whatever challenges lay ahead.

As they encountered their first foes, each race brought their unique skills to bear in dispatching their enemies. Atticus relied on his swordsmanship, delivering precise strikes to incapacitate his opponents.

Zara utilized her elven agility and mastery of archery, picking off her targets with deadly accuracy from a distance.

Drax, with his brute strength, charged headlong into battle, wielding his massive axe with devastating force.

Liara danced through the shadows, her small stature and nimble movements allowing her to strike swiftly and silently from the darkness.

Durin, with their unparalleled strength and resilience, tore through their enemies with unmatched ferocity, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Despite the differences in their approaches and races, they all shared the same goal, to accumulate as many points as possible and emerge victorious in the trials that lay ahead.

Soon, they met one another beginning the bloodbath but little did they know that evil creatures were already lurking around.
