A lot of things started to make sense in my mind. From how she was able to dodge all of my threads and how she dismissed so effortlessly. It all boiled down to the fact that she was able to change the structure of her body, turning it into a gas. Masking her skill with her speed, she was able to hide the trick from my eyes. It took a bloodied body and several carefully laid traps to finally realize what her skill was. '...It's good that I know, but how do I handle this?' My mind started…-

The Orb pulsed before me. It throbbed like the beat of a heart. I stood motionless, staring at it with a blank mind. The world outside seemed to freeze. I knew this wasn't the case and the world was flowing at the same speed. It was just that my thoughts were running so fast that the world outside appeared to freeze. || ..... In the darkness, I stood before the orb. Throb! Throb...! With each throb, the orb grew brighter and brighter. The darkness that embraced it faded, replaced…

Kiera sat with her eyes closed. She had also fought like the others and her fight lasted for about a minute and a half. Her speed could be considered neither too fast nor too slow. It was in the upper regions as she swiftly dealt with her opponent. 11 || ..... Kiera's brows twitched. A sharp pain invaded her mind for a brief moment before disappearing. It was brief but noticeable enough for her to perceive. She opened her eyes shortly after and looked around her. There were a total of…

The thought of my strength not being enough started to set in my mind. While the event was important, what was most important was the reward that came with ranking first. The Empire had yet to reveal the reward, but everyone understood it was going to be extremely important. It could range from a very powerful relic, manual, or bone, to even information that I wanted to know. I could use the chance to learn more about the unrecorded. But... "That's probably not a very good idea.' While…

With a total of 48 participants, there were twenty-four matches on full display for the entire world to see. Because all of the matches happened at the same time, the broadcast only displayed a few of the more high-profile matches. Those included Aoife from the Nurs Ancifa Empire-The Empire's Princess and highest-ranked member from the Empire. Caius from the Aetheria Empire. Amell from the Verdant Empire, and Kaelion from the Aurora Empire. These were the four highest profiles from each…

"Begin!" As the referee's voice faded, Julien raised his head and adjusted his physical and mental condition. He didn't make any significant movements and remained standing in the same spot. At the same time, Carmen's leg muscles bulged and wiggled as though they were alive, tensing and twisting before releasing all the tension at once and speeding up in Julien's direction. With a quick burst, he appeared right before Julien, and he lowered his body further down. Cra Crack- Carmen's steps…

Rumble-! The plaza continued to tremble as the worn-out statue finally emerged in full view for everyone to see. Major portions of its structure were torn away, with fragments dangling down, revealing the skeletal framework beneath. It was an imposing sight that left many of the onlookers breathless. For the first time since the creation of Grimspire, the complete form of the 'Hand of Liberation' was unveiled to the world. The Plaza was silenced. The Empires were silenced. The World was…

"....Let's start it in an hour." Seeing the sudden turnaround in Julien's behavior, Gael sighed in relief and decided to go along with the other's decision. "Alright." And so, with that, an hour was given for the participants to rest before the start of the second phase. Once everything was in place, they relayed the information to several key figures. The First Phase was designed to filter out the truly powerful participants from the rest, while the Second Phase aimed to display the…

Leon and Julien walked in silence. As they stepped into the Plaza, over a dozen pairs of eyes immediately fixed on them, each gaze carrying a mix of curiosity, surprise, and something else that Leon couldn't quite determine. "We've made it in time." Leon sighed in relief. They had been dangerously close to running late. Thankfully, the two of them together were pretty fast and were able to surpass the others that were approaching. Gatekeeping was also not allowed, and hence, they had no…
