Chapter 420 Forced Out
Right from the moment their names were announced, everyone knew that this was going to be a pretty one-sided fight and they weren't wrong to think that because right now, Albert was lying in front of Damon unconscious.
All the third-year student did to knock him out was stun him with his lightning before knocking him out with the hilt of his great sword.
Unlike Pearl who saw fights as a means to have some fun, he was very direct, and when it came to this tournament, there was nothing like fun to him.
"Blaze Damon of Phoenix Academy moves on to the next round as Albert Shaw of Eukerion Academy is eliminated." The sergeant announced as the other soldiers set up the stairs for him to come down while the medical team went up to pick up Albert.
"That was a very short fight," Luis commented before turning his gaze to Chloe who didn't look surprised at all.
"Of course, it was a short fight, he was up against a second-year student, the only ones who will be able to put up a fight against him are level six h third-year students and I doubt any of them can win against him." She articulated.
"I don't know, the girl with the water ability looked pretty strong, I could tell she didn't go all out against her opponent," Tania said.
"You mean, Pearl?" Luis inquired.
"Yeah, Pearl is pretty strong, she'll definitely put Damon on the spot but I doubt he would be able to beat him but then again all it takes to win fights isn't strength."
'I wonder how he would hold up against a demon lord.' The Angel said subconsciously.
'Uh ... .I don't think he's strong enough to take on a demon lord, you might actually be stronger than him if we factor in all your abilities.'
'Yeah, I was just wondering.'

"It seems like I underestimated you puny brat from the other side," Roy said as he slowly moved toward the group.
"That's a wrong choice of words to use on a grown man, you should learn some manners," Michael uttered before slowly tightening his grip on his blaster.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJude had his sword ready for anything and Tauriel already had three arrows in her bow ready to fire at any moment.
They were surrounded and that was just the soldiers they could see, there was no way to tell if they had backup coming soon.
The situation was pretty tense but somehow, Michael appeared to be surprisingly calm.
"I don't know why you're getting in my way, I'm only trying to take back what was once mine."
His voice sounded a bit shaky now as he place his hand on his forehead.
"What do you mean what was once yours?" Michael inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, so you have no idea."
"No idea of what?"
"This world used to be ours, until that idiot with wings came along and made you puny beings."
'Idiot with wings, does he mean an Angel?'
"He was very strong even for the strongest of our kind so there was nothing we could do to stop him but we figured we could harm his creations instead, and when he found out he sealed us away in a land filled with darkness."
"If you were sealed away then how are you here?"
"Oh, we later got out, ready to come down and devour his precious humans only to find out that he had already passed down the method to seal us to them, we didn't see him again but those pesky light wizards were enough to seal us up once more, maybe it was how he planned everything to happen."
The rage in his voice was slowly growing as he explained everything to Michael.
"The only thing I understood from this history lesson of yours is that you and your kind are a pack of bloodthirsty evil beings just like the demons we have in my world so if sealing you was the only way to keep you contained, then the Angel who did it was right." Michael expressed before pointing his blaster at him.
"Angels, oh, yeah that's what they call themselves now."
"Answer this question for me, you were the one that killed Eukerion's president, weren't you? The pool from that portal is coming straight from his house."
"Oh, that was from my other half." He replied with a little chuckle. "I told him to keep a low profile but I guess he found no reason to do that now that the portal was open."
"Your other half?" Tauriel said with a shocked expression on her face.
"And I'm guessing these portals on both sides are the gateway for your friends to make their return into this world." Michael pointed out.
"Friends is a bit of a stretch but you're right, they'll come through there and slaughter every single human being in this world." He voiced before bursting into a feat of maniacal laughter. "But people like you won't make that easy so I'm going to start by slaughtering all of you."
"No, you're the one getting slaughtered," Michael said before slowly raising his blaster.
Roy was expecting a stream of lightning to come firing toward him but even after a few seconds of seeing the blaster get pointed toward him, he didn't feel anything.
"Um…are you out of juice?" He asked in a mocking tone.
"No, I was just calling for more, now."
As soon as he said those words, purple lightning streams shot up all around them and quickly came latching on him.
They latched on to the evil spirit from every side forcing out an excruciating scream from him as he crashed down on his knees.
"What are you waiting for, morons? Get them!"
As soon as those words escaped from his mouth, the soldiers surrounding them quickly began running toward them, it was pretty obvious that they were being manipulated.
"Please take it easy on them, I don't think they're conscious of what they're doing." Jude disclosed as the soldiers closed up on them with their swords and spears.
"I'm aware of that, don't worry," Michael replied before pulling out a small baton.
Tauriel had to refrain from using her arrows, but even with just her bow, she was able to take down all the soldiers that came running toward her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichael carefully avoided their attacks as he knocked them out with his baton and Jude was easily dealing with them with the blunt side of his blade.
It didn't take long before all of the soldiers were lying on the floor, and now that Roy seemed to have been zapped into unconsciousness, the lightning stopped coming toward him.
"How did you do that?" Jude inquired with his gaze on Roy.
"I set up a few things around the area because I had the feeling he was going to find us."
"So, is he dead?" Tauriel asked as he moved closer to the unconscious body.
"No, this is the body of their king so I wasn't planning on destroying it, I could if I wanted to."
"To be honest no one would blame you if you did," Jude remarked.
"Yeah, but I'm not like that."
'Is it not going to come out?'
"Come on everyone, let's get moving, the portal won't be opening for a while now so let's find somewhere else to stay for now."
Tauriel quickly helped Matilda up as Jude made sure his parents were the ones to move ahead before he followed them from behind.
Michael was the last person to walk past the king's body, and before doing that, he glanced at it for a moment.
Just after walking past the body, a dark purple aura appeared around it as a hooded figure quickly emerged from it.
"Did you really think I was going to let you leave that easily?"
Michael sensed her presence just before she said that but before he could react in any way, a purple energy rope wrapped around his legs and pulled him forward.
He was sent flying toward and crashing into the tree just beside the cave where they were taking shelter.
"Michael!" Jude screamed in shock as he immediately pulled out his blade.
"You were the ones who forced me out of this form, now you will have to pay for it." The hooded voice said with a menacing voice before twisting her neck to the right.
