Scarlet
To my pleasant surprise, and apparently King Oberons displeasure, the ninth competition is a very simple one, and very similar to a competition that weve already had a little while back.
This competition is to hit a wall as hard as you possibly can. But unlike the last ti where we could only use our physical strength, this ti we can use only our magical or ntal strength. ntal being for those ntal attackers amongst us. aning that one ntal attacker. Seeing as there arent any more than that single one amongst the forty-one competitors in this tournant.
Forty competitors, Tar says, making frown in confusion. You killed one yesterday.
I blink at that before tilting my head, still confused.
While you were asleep in the eighth competition, a Rogue tried to assassinate you, he says rather nonchalantly.
And you didnt think to wake up why?
He just gives a ntal shrug through our bond from his place in the void as he answers, He was already dying by then.
Oh.
Well thats awkward.
He hums in agreent.
I stare ahead as the other competitors all approach the wall and take their turns hitting it with so rather powerful magical attacks. And the one random ntal attack.
The one ntal attack being from Xyvandra. Considering how the other mind eaters were all too lazy, so apparently the fae royals avoided contracting with them.
And this ti around, Alia scores above Vorgrim and Xyvandra, and even slightly above Leonidas. Which is a very interesting surprise.
I knew she was powerful, but I didnt realize her magic was that powerful.
Then again, her magic is null magic. Enough said.
Well, anyways, I continue waiting for the others to do their turns before stepping up to the wall as the very last person. And after stopping about five ters away from the wall, I begin to float up into the air before turning my entire body into Red Plague and spreading out. Then I send all of the Red Plague making up my body in a constant loop, going faster and faster as I pick up more and more speed.
All while making sure not to splash any on the spectating competitors and thereby killing them, of course.
Once I feel Ive built up a sufficient amount of montum, I begin activating one skill after another to boost my attacking power. And just because the rules dont ban attacking the other competitors, I go ahead and activate Power Drain as well just to drain them of so of their life force and mana to put into this attack as well.

Because why not go big?
Then I release everything all at once, slamming into the wall and shattering it to pass through the wall and straight out of the stadium through the sky.
And there she goes!!!! King Oberon declares as if comntating on one of those old world baseball ga sports things. A horun straight outta the park!
After that I get too far to hear him anymore, only barely managing to stop myself before awkwardly beginning to fly back down towards the stadium. Which, Ill admit, takes longer than I wouldve preferred.
Actually, now that I think about it, why does the Fae King even know about baseball?
Tar stays silent.
Please tell the King of the Fae hasnt been snooping around on Earths old world sports recordings.
The King of the Fae hasnt been snooping around on Earths old world sports recordings, Tar says, making sigh with relief. Fathers been copying them and showing them to all of the fae for entertainnt.
That almost has stopping midflight right when Im almost reentering the stadium. But I manage to continue, albeit with a very judgntal look sent towards the Fae King.
Also, I never actually learned what my points were for that. Other than the fact that I won the competition.
The king continues speaking once Im back at my tower with my arms crossed and a scowl on my face. But he doesnt really explain that, making believe that he already did the usual spiel while I was flying back.
And now we are finally moving onto the last of the combat competitions!!! King Oberon declares, making the audience go wild with shouts and cheers of excitent. We have the tournant!
As soon as he says that, the rules of the next competition appear above us.
Knockout Round
Description: All of the competitors will be randomly paired together for a tournant with four rounds. The first three rounds will each be elimination one versus one rounds, with the fourth and final round being a battle royale between the last five remaining competitors.
Rules: Anything goes. Anti-death clause is allowed. Competitors may surrender if they so choose.
Goal: Win the tournant.
Rewards: All competitors will be awarded with twenty-five points for winning the first round, fifty points for winning the second round, one hundred points for winning the third round, and three hundred points for winning the tournant as a whole. These rewards are cumulative.
There will be no more combat focused competitions after this one! King Oberon declares, his wings spread out to his sides. It is the peak of the combat competitions and will grant the most points out of all of the competitions so far, just like every other tenth competition within the Ascension Tournant! Now are you ready!?
The roaring of the crowd imdiately hikes up a notch.
Aaaaarrrrreee yoooooouuuuuu reeeeeaaaaadyyyyy!!!! King Oberon repeats himself, and the crowd imdiately goes absolutely berserk.
Wow. Soones certainly getting into this.
Yep, Tar mutters, sounding slightly embarrassed for his father.
But the crowd doesnt seem to feel that way, so
Then let us begin! the king continues while waving his wings once more, replacing the rules with what looks like a large tournant bracket but with silhouettes instead of peoples faces in each of the brackets. How about we make each matchup a complete surprise until the actual battle?
The crowd continues to roar their excitent. Excitent that only seems to be building with this little cliffhanger he left them on about who is fighting who.
Now, to start things off.. the Fae King says as the very first bracket on the top left corner of the screen moves to fill the entire screen, pushing the rest away. Its ti to reveal our first two fighters!
