Chapter 1114 The Third Round Begins!
-----
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Arthur's entire body was punched by Titan, who had rapidly transformed into his powerful metallic form, resembling a black metallic giant, his fists burned with flames, powerful enough to crush through bones and calcinate flesh with ease.
CRAAASH!
Arthur's entire body fell into the ground and shattered it, yet he remained alive somehow, gasping, one of his Skills had activated, named [Hero's Last Stand] which helped him survive fatal damage once every 1 minute, probably the only reason why he was able to handle so many blows from Planta.
"Ugh...! Ahhh..." he groaned, burning. "T-These flames- Ugh! Fuck!"
He started frantically drinking elixirs as Mark rapidly approached him, resembling a sentinel of flames that came straight out of hell to punish him.
"You're not getting out of here unscathed after you said that to her, you piece of shit."
"W-what?! Are you her fucking bodyguard or what?!"
"I'm her boyfriend."
"Eh?!"
Mark's Aura exuded the power of the Beast Spirits within him, and something more as well, something greater surging from the very depths of his being, phoenix wings surged from his back, spreading out, made of black metal.
"It's a good thing you don't die easily, I'm going to enjoy this."
"S-Stop!"
Arthur tried to counterattack with his magic, but everything exploded into particles of light once they hit Mark's body, his fists crushed his bones constantly, making an utter mess of him.
Everyone glanced at the scene until Arthur died for the second time... This time, Mark also forgave him, and he revived again, only to be killed a third time.
At the fourth time he died, he couldn't receive more penalties but was revived yet again, only to be carried away by the soldiers.
At that moment, Arthur wasn't even speaking anymore, too traumatized to say anything, some even wondered why he even stayed logged in through the whole beating.
The assistants walked into the arena and gave all participants the necessary materials, this time they were given more expensive-looking ingots, although only three, and also magic spirit stones and monster crystals.
"I-Is there a specific theme to what we should craft these items for?" wondered Erika.
"A theme? Not that I've heard," the announcer said. "I believe the rulers want you to come out with your own ideas and the utilize of each item! Healing, protection, spell, attack, or just basic stat boosting accessories, it's all up to you."
"I see, so that's how it is," Planta nodded. "Ambil, Mark, are we ready?"
"Yeah, for sure," said Ambil. "Let's start right away."
"Okay, who does what?" wondered Mark.
"I'll do the bracelet, I'm rather good with them," said Planta. "What about you two?"
"I'll do the ring if Titan doesn't mind," said Ambil.
"Sure, I'll do the necklace then," Titan nodded. "It's the easier for a newbie like me, so it suits me."
And they began, the smithies flared with flames and the metals started melting and being placed into their specific molds, delicately and precisely, all participants began cutting and polishing the ingredients, especially the jewels and spirit stones.
These stones would be the ones to give these accessories all their magical abilities, so they had to make sure they would not screw things over with it!
As everyone worked, at the same time, Teressa once more contacted Melisa.
"Melisa... Don't you dare fail me now," she said. "We're getting the first place no matter what, did you hear me? If Planta's too hard for now, go for the others..."
"But...!"
"No buts! JUST DO WHAT I SAY!"
"Y-Yes..."
Melisa looked at her hands, taking out her black gloves, revealing how her hands truly looked like.
