Extra's Path To Demon King-Chapter 69: Absolute Domination

Following the proclamation, all the other 4th circle teams of the other towers had their expressions turn ugly at such a blatant display of arrogance by the very tower that always is last. But the Runecasters in the audience went batshit crazy at their vice master’s prideful declaration. frёeωebɳovel.com

For the group of mages who were always humiliated to have someone who for once could turn the tables was a heaven sent blessing. Just as the declaration followed. The arena transformed, all the marking of each teams areas became marked in red. The field slightly expanded.

11 of the teams were moved to one side of the Arena while in the opposite way only the Runic team remained. All of Axel’s team members were trembling at the notion of facing all the other teams at once.

Eric gulped nervously and asked, "Ash, are you sure about this? I do not understand how you can?"

While Xavier thought internally with a shiver, ’I know this guy is strong, extremely strong, even when he fought me, he was holding back, but...but.....but, GODDAMN IT, this is beyond ridiculous.’

Axel did not answer, as he simply looked at the other enraged teams from the corner of his eye, they were all ready to tear him apart, and butcher him the moment the fight would start. The commentator soon signaled the start of the fight.

Without wasting a second, everyone activated their mana to full power and started channeling towards their most destructive spells and aiming them towards the rune team.

Axel chuckled, seeing that, normally, how it would go is, one team or a few of the 4th circle mages would forward, obviously underestimating him, then testing him, and then the fight would slowly escalate, then bluh bluh bluh....

But it seems they were too angry and took him somewhat seriously. After all, his master would not openly show such arrogance about him, telling him to show everyone the true power of runecasters. Meaning, they understood that there should be some truth to his master’s announcement. And he liked it very much how they were attacking without any unnecessary charade.

In the previous fight, Axel merely used his killing intent by spreading it; the mana he used was also weakened, and even the sword artifacts he used were weak ones. Now it was time to reveal a bit more; in fact, just his powerful artifacts were enough to turn the tide and win against all the other teams, but he was reluctant to bring out his endless stash of artifacts stored away.

With a sigh he brought out a round-shaped artifact, which was imbued with the rune of ’Defense’ and ’Emotion’. He imbued his mana as it is, without weakening it, then infused his killing intent, throwing it upwards, a slightly red colored dome appeared all around the Rune team while the round-shaped artifact hung in the middle of the air.

A second later, countless spells and powers crashed into the barrier, as it trembled violently, but did not budge in the slightest. Earth spikes, Stone pillars, Fire balls, Lightening strikes, Speared artifact throws. The summons of the necromancer’s continuously barged the barrier but to no avail.

Spirits of spirit mages, powerful beasts, sonic attacks, plant-based attacks that tried to go from beneath the barrier itself, the arcane tower launched their own spells, trying to find a counter, even ethereal spells that should pass by any mana barrier got stopped since Axel’s killing intent was imbued in it.

But the violent reaction resulting from the combination and relentless assault of all the teams together made it far more dangerous and chaotic. After a while, all the attacks stopped, but the aftermath of the attacks almost made it seem like the world might end. The power of a 4th circle mage was no joke, let alone the elite mages from all the towers.

Axel’s team members’ faces paled as they looked at the back of the genius. They couldn’t believe it. What kind of artifact was that, which allowed a 3rd circle runecaster to withstand the combined assault of all the towers’ elite mages combined assault, their enemies numbered in a total of 220, except for their own team. Xavier’s knees buckled to the ground in terror, he actually called this person a ’wretch’.

Axel without minding the reaction of his own teammates or the audience walked forward, the barrier did not stop him, as he simply phased through it. No one attacked him immediately, while Axel kept looking at them arrogantly, The Arcane team leader glared at him furiously, "There is no way that barrier artifact was created by your own ability?"

"Oh, please. If it wasn’t created by me, do you think the vice tower master’s would allow it? Are you saying they are incapable of discerning such a minor detail, and you are?" stated Axel mockingly.

The audience chuckled at that snarky remark, and even the Arcane powerhouse in the sky shook his head. The team leader of the Arcane tower became more enraged at how his words were twisted by the bastard in front of him.

Meanwhile, the sage tower’s team leader only observed Axel extremely closely; the one named Vin was also on the team of the sage tower. Axel simply glanced at the guy and ignored him.

Axel brought out a single ominous looking sword engraved with three runes intertwined with each other, the three of the basic 24 engraved runes were, ’Strength’, ’Lightning’, ’Emotion’.

Red thunder cackled from the sword, a surge of strength rushed inside of Axel, while a wave of increased tension spread in the air among his enemies. Axel’s blue hair fluttered in the wind, and his shiny, deep blue eyes had a gaze of arrogance in them. While wearing a subtle smile on his face. Seeing that handsome visage of a mighty warrior. All women in the arena blushed; they became fascinated.

Even the female competitors, for a moment, felt attracted to that man. In the next moment, however, all hell broke loose; every single one of the 220 mages attacked the single 3rd circle runecaster in front of them with even more destructive might, incomparable to before.

Axel imbued his mana, then condensed his bloodlust into a tangible liquid form, and then coated the sword with the liquid like bloodlust. The power emanating from the sword increased to a dangerous degree. Right before all the attacks could hit him, Axel horizontally swung his sword and then........

Booooooooooooom!

A massive arc of violent red lightning shot towards every single assailant, and a terrifying explosion occurred, which shook the entire stadium to its core. More energy went into the stabilization barrier that kept the audience protected from the aftermath of the explosion.

Red lightning had covered the entirety of the arena. Moments later, everyone could see again, and what everyone saw generated another wave of shock on their faces. More than half of the participants attacking Axel had been eliminated. Their bodies seem on the verge of collapse and charred black.

Only 100 participants remained, mostly from the Sage Tower, Arcane Tower, Warlock Tower, and a few more teams, each having varying numbers of them eliminated by that single attack.

Axel stood in the air, looking down on the remaining ones with an unreadable look. Red lightning danced all over his body while his eyes glowed blue.

His menacing appearance was enough to frighten even the audience. Axel’s friends, his little brother, and the librarian all had blank look on their faces. That attack was akin to that of a fully fledged 5th circle mage. Many thought the world itself had gone mad.

The fight in the arena resumed as everyone’s voices became louder and louder, hailing the name of the supreme genius, like a chant that refused to die down. Axel attacked again and again and again. The same red lightning charged with his condensed killing intent continued ravaging the bodies of his enemies one after another. There was another reason why all the competitors were constantly afraid of him.

The rune of "emotion" inflicted his enemies with his killing intent more in depth, which in turn caused their fear to amplify into something far greater and more sinister, thus affecting their battle prowess and judgement. And since this is not a direct attack on the mind or psyche of someone, it is hard to counter or notice in general.

The last one to be standing was Sage Tower’s team leader. Axel understood why the sage tower was the strongest, he was a tough one to be able to withstand multiple attacks from him, which surprised him greatly.

After everyone was eliminated, the barrier separating the arena and the crowd section disappeared, the dust and debris cleared, and everyone could see the uninjured figure of Axel, and all the members of the rune team also remained in the empty area, baffled, rattled, and shaken.

The audience soon erupted into cacophonic cheer that broke the pin drop silence, Axel looked towards the audience and their frenzied excitement and chuckled to himself, it felt good, quite good to be honest. He landed on the ground and gulped down a potion bringing it out from his space ring.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, all the vice tower masters had a blank look on their faces; they could not comprehend what had just happened? The worst part was that, the kid is supposed to compete in the 5th circle fights as well. What more of his power did the boy hide?

The boy was right in his words, this was indeed the greatest transgression that broke all the rules of power levels and distinctions in this world.
