-Clang!
-Pang!
-Twoosh!
-Boom!
-Thrack!
Different spells and weapon arts could be seen flying around the entirety of the arena.
The candidates who had now resolved themselves to survive till the very end, kept giving everything they had to have the upper hand and luckily for them, it was working out.
Unexpected alliances had been ford between many of the youths who were still left in the arena and as a result, they were doing a good job of taking down as many of the robotic monsters.
When Derek had ntioned that they wouldn't have ti to even attack themselves, so had brushed it off as unbelievable but now, here they were, completely discarding any such thoughts of it and working together just to survive.
So candidates however, had no need to form any alliance of their own as these guys were literally a walking powerhouse in their own right for their young age.
Attracting the most attention from the audience presently was the Crown Prince of Arcadia, the longsword he was holding gleaming in the sunlight and dripping with black oil as he stood in the midst of five robotic elental golems he had put down, a testant to his prowess with the sword.
Yet despite this, three more robotic golems rushed at him, each of them with the different affinities of water, fla and wind as they opened their chanized palms to shoot out various programd spells.
Adrian rely smirked at this sight and instantly dashed towards them from where he was, his shoulder length long red hair fluttering in the wind as he swiftly appeared directly behind one of the golems, the wind-based one to be exact, and sliced both of its leg off in one simultaneous motion.
This caused the wind-based golem to instantly co crashing down on its own outstretched palms that was about to fire a devastating wind bomb but instead, the spell had ended up colliding with the ground as it fell on it, the kickback of its own spell quickly dispatching the golem itself and blowing a gaping hole through its chest, all of its internal circuitry in full view.
As soon as this happened, Adrian imdiately dashed towards the next two robotic elental golems while also muttering his weapon art under his breath.
'{Sunburst Art – First Form: Dragon's Roar}'
Instantly, the red-haired youth's longsword began to glow with a radiant golden hue and its form started to extend to reveal the gigantic head of an incomplete dragon that was still rged with the body of the long sword, its mouth opened to release a devastating bite.
Adrian upon reaching the two golems, imdiately jumped into the air and brought his longsword down with a downward slash, the dragon's head flowing at the body of his sword imdiately chomping on the heads of the two robotic golems in one fell swoop, their spells imdiately fizzling out as he did so.
A lot of people in the crowd roared with excitent at this but Adrian, as if to show that he was not done yet, whipped his head around to see as an Arachnoworm, opened its worm-like robotic mouth while suspending itself upside down from the branch of a nearby tree with its five chanical legs to fire what seed to be a net of searing hot flas.
"Flas?" Adrian asked while nimbly dodging the net of fire, almost as if disappointed.
"That's my specialty you hunk of tal. Know your place!"
The mont he uttered those words, Adrian inwardly chanted a spell and suddenly snapped his fingers.
'[Azure Series: Ignition]!'
Almost instantaneously, tiny azure explosions began to occur around the arachnoworm and soon enough, the explosions suddenly rged to increase into the size of a massive blue fireball, completely lting the robotic monster into tallic goo.
The crowd that was watching him, once again scread in excitent and a few of them could be even heard praising their future king, not that he could hear it though considering the multitude of weapon arts and spells that so many candidates were using to clash with the monsters drowning out the audience's noise despite how loud they were.
Following the massive uproar of the crowd due to Adrian's performance, another portion of the audience roared with excitent once again due to a certain ruby-eyed lady.
Caroline upon noticing that the open plains wouldn't suit her if she was going to need to battle more than one robotic monster at a ti had promptly dashed into the small thicket of forest to restrict their movents to a certain extent and had made it her battle ground.
She had swung from one branch to the other using her retractable bladed whip while effortlessly dispatching every single robotic monster that ca across her way.
Just as she landed on another tree branch, an arachnoworm had suddenly jumped her, its mouth opened to fire a searing net of flas at her.
However, Caroline promptly extended her bladed whip around the mouth of the robotic hybrid of a worm's head and a spider's lower body and instantly coiled the bladed whip around it, causing the mouth of the robotic monster to be tightly shut as it fired its programd spell, the internals of the machine itself lting like hot magma due to its spell backfiring into its body.
As the robotic arachnoworm stopped moving as a result of its internals been destroyed, Caroline jumped to another tree branch.
However, as if the monsters of the exams had sothing against her, two rhinobears began charging into the mini forest, crashing everything in their path with the tallic steel horns on their heads.
The tree Caroline was previously on, exploded into splinters since they also destroyed it almost imdiately they began to rampage through the small forest and soon enough, the silky black-haired lady who had been given little ti to react to their sudden rampage, found herself landing gracefully on the ground with a small thud.
She then stood up and watched as the robotic rhinobears turned around after destroying most of the forest's trees and charged at her rapidly with their robotic hybrid hinds of a rhino's leg and a bear's paw.
Caroline however was unperturbed by these turn of events and she stood her ground while seemingly muttering a spell inwardly.
'[Floral Series: Thornsnare]'
Following the chanting of her spell, large green vines with multiple thorns jutted out of the ground and imdiately ensnared the rhinobears, completely restricting their movents.
The mont this was done, Caroline dashed forward like a speeding bullet and imdiately used her weapon art to destroy the ensnared robotic hybrids.
"{Roseblade Art – First Form: Wisp's Embrace}!"
Instantaneously, Caroline's bladed whip elongated and dissipated into tiny petals of red roses and danced around the body of the trapped rhinobears, almost like a mini hurricane.
As soon as this had happened, the portion of the audience who were viewing her battle, watched as all that was left of the robotic rhinobears were their dismbered parts lying about on the ground, all in a span of a few seconds.
However, as Caroline watched her bladed whip return back to its original form while taking a deep breath, she suddenly jumped backwards as another robotic monster in the form of a flaming basilisk landed just in front of her and directly on the spot she previously was at.
The flaming basilisk imdiately opened its chanical mouth wide while aiming a condensed ball of fire that was building up in its mouth at Caroline, all in a matter of seconds without even giving her ti to completely recover.
Following this, the ruby-eyed lady had imdiately retrieved one of her daggers from her spatial ring but before she could do anything, sothing whistled past her cheek.
-Whish!
As soon as the programd robotic basilisk was about to release its concentrated beam of flas, Caroline had watched as an arrow swooshed past her and headed directly into the mouth of the flaming basilisk.
"Jump back further!" she heard a feminine voice call out to her with urgency.
Caroline upon realizing that whoever it was that had fired the arrow seemingly wanted to help her, did as she was told and jumped further backwards as the robotic basilisk exploded into tallic pieces and a small cloud of mushroom smoke.
The silky-black haired lady then turned her head around to look at whoever it was that had helped her and was quite surprised to see, that it was one of the geniuses all of Arcadia had been talking about for almost a month and a few weeks now.
"So, I don't really know how noble etiquettes work but I guess I'll just start by introducing myself" Ivelia said loudly whilst still standing on a tree branch of one of the remaining trees that had been left intact during the rhinobears rampaging assault.
"There's no need to. Everyone who isn't living under a rock right now should know who you are" Caroline responded back, her voice a few volus higher than usual due to the racket of noises caused by other candidate's battles that were still ongoing.
She wanted to ensure that Ivelia heard her loud and clear.
Just as Ivelia wanted to respond though, another robotic arachnoworm tried to assault her but instead, all it got to its mouth as it tried to open it wide to fire a searing fla of net was a transparent vile containing a clear liquid.
As soon as the vial cracked in its mouth though, the tallic hybrid of a worm and a spider exploded in a huge radius like a firecracker and scattered the robotic beast into tiny little pieces, detailing just how dangerous whatever was inside the vile of glass Ivelia had thrown was.
Caroline widened her eyes at this and imdiately looked back at Ivelia warily.
The orange-haired lady however, kept staring with squinted eyes at the imnsely large yet localized explosion she had caused, beads of sweat dripping from her face, probably due to the explosion itself and also her fighting with robotic monsters for the past ten minutes.
"Seriously. I need to conduct more tests and reduce the explosive radius of that potion…" Ivelia muttered aloud while jumping from the tree branch and landing just a few ters away from Caroline with a gentle thud.
