Rain… Thunderbolts… Spatial cracks appearing, randomly targeting people in the vicinity… A deep whirlpool of endless chasm slowly eating away out all platforms… And the sky… The Space itself slowly shrinking the dimension. Signifying the True End of the Battle royale, making everyone shudder in anticipation as they looked at the 11 remaining players alive. The System Pausing time itself, just so the casters can announce the final contenders of the battle royale:
> Hide (Shoutcaster): “Chilling!”
> Maze (Shoutcaster): “Truly Chilling. Not even twenty minutes into the match and here we are…”
> Hide (Shoutcaster): “Here we are…”
> Maze (Shoutcaster): “The strongest rookies of the League…”
> Hide (Shoutcaster): “The ones who have outlasted the 489…”
> Hide and Maze (Shoutcasters): “Everyone welcome:”
> The Lycaon Shapeshifter, Beles
> Daughter of Solaecea, Margaret.
> The Blade of the Time Timekeeper, Hydal
> The Steelmaiden, Hera
> Barriermage, Pluto
> Winged Arsonist, Shax
> Glass Shard Mage, MIr
> Kaldr’s Agent, Ace
>
> The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
> The Priest of Hilder, Hebi
> The Archer Blessed by The World Tree, Lunara
People chanting, cheering as each individual was called. The players temporarily able to hear the shout casters waved their hands towards the crowd. Mir even bowing, Hydal doing a back flip, before vanishing as he lands, only to reappear again on another floating platform standing as if nothing had happened and the Priest of Hilder somehow making himself more shiny and glittery as he tried to showcase the extravagance of his Deity.
Some of the players clicked their tongue as their classes got virtually revealed against each other, while others just laughed. Clearly now more comfortable after having the class description of their foes trying their best to categorize which people to avoid, and who can they target as soon as the battle resumes.
Everyone waited for the shout casters to finally reveal the class of the Skeletal only to pause, as the shout casters finally revealed the true theme of this year’s Trial of Champions.
> Maze (Shoutcaster): “Against the Unknown Entity of immeasurable power. An undead, unbound from darkness… And is of life.”
> Hide (Shoutcaster): “This Trial’s Agent of Chaos. The Skeletal Creator himself.”
> Maze (Shoutcaster): “Give it up for Levi!”
Levi after being called, suddenly found himself standing in the middle of a ruined platform currently surrounded by his remaining 10 enemies. His Gigantic Weapons suddenly being bound by chain. He tried to move them but only found them shake a little before they settle back to their current position again.
He was about to attempt to roar and shout, but stopped as he noticed amplifications being made to the control over his body. Easily adapting towards the amplified control, he resummoned the pitch-dark axe before raising it towards the remaining 10 players. Faithfully playing his antagonistic role.
As if on cue, A portal suddenly appeared at the top of a very high platform that was quite far from Levi. Then the voice of the system sounded everywhere finally revealing the clear conditions of his enemies.
