Fantasy System

Chapter 74: The strongest team

"You monster" "As expected of our secret weapon" "Unnatural" "Awesome!" Each one of Ed's teammates passed by him while telling how unusual he was. Ed could only shrug it off.

They all went to look for someone to fight. Ed had already decided on who his opponents will be. He had asked the system to find the highest cultivation level in the ring. It turns out that the king's daughter, Alicia is at Earth Establishment level 2. While Norris had broken through to Earth Establishment level 1. Among those present, Ed was the only one who could fight them head-on.

Ed's teammates decided to fight the other students. They were confident enough not to lose, at least when it was one on one. Ed's slash helped reduce the number of students on the ring. No one from D class survived, and C class was now down to two members, Leon and Charlie. Not even Liza survived since Ed attacked indiscriminately. B class still had five students, and A class 10.

Hayato chose his opponents, who were 1 Oni and 1 Beatswoman. They were from A class and were strong enough to endure Ed's slash. Hayato, however, was confident enough to fight them both at the same time. "I hope you will help me burn off some of my anger with you guys." Hayato rushed at them with Asmodeus in his hands. On the other side, Ellie and Stephanie were fighting three opponents, two from B and one from A class. Stephanie's support was good enough to help them get the advantage. Ellie's brute power, which had increased with Ed's training, didn't allow anyone to feel safe.

Emilia was also fighting two opponents at the same time. Both of them from A class, with one of them being the girl who used the fire tornado. It seemed like one of them was buying time for her to gather magic power. Emilia could see through this tactic and increased her assault. She was using her rapier, and magic at the same time. Her opponent couldn't handle her assault of fire swords, and fast slashes, so he quickly lost focus and lost. Taking out the girl who couldn't complete her magic was more than easy.

Hayato seemed to be finished with his opponents as well. A class lost four members at the blink of an eye. Some lingering flames were still lingering on his sword. Ellie and Stephanie were still fighting, while Leon and Charlie were handling the rest of B class. Suddenly, two silhouettes approached Emilia and Hayato. Hayato was now facing a beast-man, while Emilia had a female Oni in front of her. They were both teammates of Norris and Alicia.

"We're from the strongest team of A class. We'll make sure you won't last another minute." Both of them told Emilia and Hayato, seemingly very confident in their strength. Another person also appeared in front of Ed, who was making his way to fight Alicia and Norris. "Prepare yourself, I'll beat you no-". Before he could finish, Ed who had withdrawn Ame-No-Murakumo, used magic to blow him away. He even made sure to use a tornado magic to show off. Everyone on the ring had to stop and look his way. 'The poor bastard' All of them felt sorry for the students from A class. Emilia and Hayato's opponents seemed to have had their confidence stepped on by Ed's display. The one who went to challenge him was also from their team. "Your confidence means nothing in front of him". Emilia and Hayato told them at the same time and started their fight.

Emilia started fighting her opponent with weapons. Her opponent was using a classical magic sword. She was using Fire magic with it, giving her sword a burning effect. Emilia couldn't be bothered with such normal attacks that she could simply dodge and counterattack. Her opponent soon had scratches all over her body. Noticing that she was not doing well with her weapon, she instead switched to magic. "Barrier!" An invisible barrier seemed to be forming around her. Emilia tried to break but was unable to. The flow of the fight had changed to the Oni's favor from then on.

Hayato and his opponent seemed to be well matched. His opponent was using a great-sword. But even with the extra strength of the beast-men, was unable to injure, or even overpower Hayato even once. Hayato's true strength lied, not in his magic, but his swordsmanship. He could slide off in-coming attacks, and counter with exceptional speed. His demonic sword's ability was related to the type of magic it's infused with. Lighting magic would produce an electric shock that would stun the enemies. Ice would reduce their movement speed. While Fire would make some burn damage that occurs over time. He could also use other magic, but only showed these types for now.

Emilia was now firing off Fire magic at her opponent. Yet, most of them didn't even hit her. He opponent, however, could use magic from inside the barrier sending them at Emilia. The latter was able to dodge most of them, but sometimes, was caught off-guard. She had some small injuries on her. "This'll be finished soon!" Her opponent seemed to have never heard of flags before. As soon as she spoke, Emilia switched back to her rapier and attacked the barrier head-on. "That won't work!" Emilia used QI on her sword while enhancing her body, making her attack tens of times stronger than usual. A crack was formed on the barrier, and her opponent backed off immediately.

"This can't be!" The Oni didn't seem to believe what had occurred. Emilia, on the other hand, was calm. "You should watch where you're standing." After saying this, the Oni looked down to find herself surrounded by fire embers from the previous magic that Emilia had shot. "Lanzas de Fuego!". The lingering embers were transformed to fire lances that hit the Oni woman at the same place in her stomach. She couldn't even react before falling down. "Your barrier is not even close to his defenses" Emilia spoke as she turned her head towards Ed who was face to face with Alicia and Norris.
