Chapter 11

The rest of the B group was one of the top nine winning because his opponent forfeit and as for the other person from the top nine, well his opponent was brave yet stupid.

He got burnt or a crisp in 2 seconds. Yep 2 seconds is all it took to kill.

The rest of the first round also ended in a similar fashion and then the second round came.

"HERE NOW TODAY IS THE INFAMOUS ROUND 'ASSASSINS AND GUARDS'" boomed the headmaster's voice which was met with the crowd, which was bigger than the first round screaming at the top of their lungs

"What the rules?" Asked Railan puzzled but exited as he was great as an assassin.

"Have you been living under the rocks or something, this round is Known by everyone in the world, Basically, two people become assassins and two become guards, Neither are allowed to kill each other. The assassins have to land a blow that would be fatal to the wooden dummy in the middle and the guards have to protect it, In fact it is the only round on which a person isn't allowed to kill" explained Gem

"Wow your quite knowledgeable on that" Commented Rez

"It's something everyone knows and has nothing impressive with it but still I hope I get to choose first so that I can choose guard, I mean anyone who had chosen assassin had always lost in the last 50 or so years"

"Really, but why" Asked Railan

"Well for one being a guard is easy and as for being an assassin, you'll have to make no sound and avoid every slip up whereas as a guard it's a lot easier" said Gem

"FOR THE FIRST ROUND IS RAILAN, REZ, GEM AND FELIX"

the three of them looked at each other, one of them will have to face each other.

Gem chose to go as a guard and Felix chose to go as a guard too, And also Felix was one of the elite nine by the way.

The round was stationed is a library as the arena and the dummy and the guards were stationed at the center.

Railan and Rez both sneaked around with Rez silently teleporting and Railan softening his footsteps, He couldn't contain his exitement as he was doing his job from his last life in a simulation.

Railan dropped a book and Rez and him Teleported to the other side. As Felix went to take a look Railan dashed forward towards the dummy but was intercepted by a long white sturdy spike coming out of the ground.

Gem had her hands on the ground and the bones were sticking out from the place where Railan was dashing Toward.

Then Railan heard a yell and found Rez on the floor with Felix grinning while holding a dagger toward his neck.

"AND REZ HAS BEEN RESTRAINED BUT CAN RAILAN PULL IT OFF OR WILL THE GUARDS WIN" Boomed a voice which was met with cheering.

Railan then pulled back and dashed forward again but must met with Rez's screams as his arm was amputated.

"NO" Yelled Railan but was met with Rez's other arm cut off. This was hard to take an suddenly a pain formed in Railan's head he clutched it and screamed for it was the first time in quite a while that he felt pain.

the crowd was confused as to why Railan was screaming.

[RELEASE ME!]

[RELEASE ME!]

[RELEASE ME!]

This was all Railan could hear and then

"NO, NO, NO, THIS CANT BE HAPPENING" He heard Eterna yell in his head and when he opened his eyes he could see the crowd gasp as they saw above his hand an Icicle which was about then feet tall.

The icicle flew at supersonic speed and the dummy was impaled and crushed.

Everyone was silent and it took a few moments for the Headmaster to recollect himself an then he said "THE ASSASSINS ARE THE WINNERS"

The crowd screamed hoping for more action like this.

Railan's Vision blurred and he was shrouded in darkness. Visions started appearing. There were dead bodies littering the cold hard and rocky deep red coloured ground, blood was splattered all screws and above all the bodies stood A spike red haired boy around the same age as Railan laughing manically.

He propelled himself into the air and a magic circle sprouts from his back

Slowly a fire appeared above his head then a green light to his right, then a compressed ball of water to his left, A glow of dark under him and a slightly white cold snowflake formed, then a crystal forms in front of him.

Railan watched In awe as the events unfolded.

The five attributes all flew into the crystal which brightly shine burning Railan's eyes but he couldn't look away.

The crystal then shot a beam of bright colourful light and Railan's eyes followed seeing it hit a nother person who he couldn't see due to the bright light.

Railan woke up with a start and the smell of medicinal herbs filled his nose he slowly got up and saw Rez next to him but this time with his limbs. His limbs were most likely healed using a healing Axel or a general magic.

He didn't have a mark on his body as he found out that the regeneration axel he took from the person he killed in round one was very very powerful.

"UGH HE CAME AGAIN VANESSA!!" he could hear Eterna

"Well then WHY THE HELL DID YOU GIVE HIM BLOODFALLEN?!"

"To make him strong, DUH"

"then couldn't you have at least removed Avion from it"

"Look He's awake" said Eterna

"Oh hey Railan, and good luck taking all this in, I'm not here for the drama so cya" Said Vanessa as her voice faded away.

"Well this is going to be quite a lot to take in Railan but I need to to listen and ask questions after I finish okay?" said Eterna which was met with Railan Nodding.

Eterna formed in her wisp form and Railan entered the pocket dimention.

"So you must've heard that voice right?, that voice belongs to Avion. you see.... Bloodfallen is a Celestial axel.

There are only 9 celestial axels in the entirety of the multiverse. Each belongs to their respective blade user from the chosen ones - like you but for the other lords.

Oh and I'd like clarify that WE are not Gods, The god is the creator of all. We are just....angels who are assigned the care of a universe and the chosen ones are the protectors. Each time a chosen one dies, His soul has the choice to either move onto the dead or to be passed on into the celestial axel.

Avion learnt of stealing abilities and got obsessed with plundering them to the point where he looted and plundered every Axel from Universe 1.

You see Axels are found in every universe with very few world's not having them. Like your last world - earth.

Avion Became too strong and the Lord's couldn't interfere in human matters and let it play out.

Then the other Celestial axel users who were also chosen ones from other universe's had to fight him with him losing.

Finally the was sealed into Bloodfallen but I see he has waken and is using the axels he plundered.

This has become a very dangerous and if it continues he could take over your mind and soul laving you nothing but a soul imprisoned in your own body." As Eterna finished her monologue Railan sat and tired taking in all he had heard.

"his body was going to be taken over....He was weak."

"I recommend you continue the tournament, if you try hard enough you will be able to use the stolen axels without letting out Avion" Said Eterna

And with the hope ful look on his face he headed back into the participant's stalls
