Chapter 214: Chapter 214:Battle Royale [4]
Jin's movement ability was more versatile than Hans's as it was useful for any sort of weapon user, even magic users.
Portal blink allowed Jin to create small portals that he could only travel through and that could take him to any location within a thirty-meter range.
This ability was still far worse than teleportation, as creating the portal required time and effort.
However, unlike teleportation, the portal created from the ability stayed alive until it was used.
And... Jin could create multiple portals at the same time.
He could quite literally have over five portals just standing there, waiting for him and only him to use them.
This meant Jin could plan out his teleportation before even using them by creating multiple portals ahead of time in a certain place.
Imagine a field filled with countless magic portals, each leading to a place that Jin designated them to and only for his use.
While it was true that enemies could destroy these portals before Jin used them, that would also divert their attention away from Jin, giving him an opportunity to attack.
Glancing away from my teammates, who were walking slightly behind me, I continued walking forward before a thought glimpsed my mind.
Was it a coincidence?
Spatial, Time, and Gravity.
All three of us had abilities of domains that were the pillars of our universe, the only things holding our world together.
Well, we didn't have full control over the domains as our abilities could only be used for a certain amount of time and required mana.
Shaking my head, I walked out of the forest and back into the plain, seeing the medieval-looking tower in the distance.
Then, just as Han and Jin stepped out of the forest, a sudden loud voice echoed from the center of the magic space.
*ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS*
*ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS*
*THE MAGIC CIRCLE WILL SLOWLY BEGIN CLOSING IN.*
*PLEASE HEAD TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE*
*FROM NOW ON, IF ANY PART OF YOU TOUCHES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE MAGIC SPACE, WHICH ARE CLOSING IN, YOU WILL SLOWLY BEGIN LOSING HEALTH*
*ONCE YOUR HEALTH REACHES ZERO, YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED*
*SHUDDER*
As the last few words echoed throughout the gigantic stadium, a sudden metal grinding sound echoed throughout the stadium, indicating that the borders would start closing in.
Thankfully, having known about this, I chose the tower, which was pretty close to the center, but we would have to move eventually.
Arriving at the medieval tower, I noticed that another drone had joined in, as there were no two of them following me.
Ignoring them, I leaned against the tower, hiding from the beaming sun that was beginning its descent.
Eventually, Han and Jin arrived before anxiously looking around, making sure the barriers were far away.
Shaking my head, I took out a piece of paper before throwing it to the two of them.
Catching the map mid-air, Han opened it up and stared at it for a moment confusedly.
Catching a glimpse of the map, Jin suddenly spoke up.
"Is that the map we used to find Han!?"
Nodding my head, I replied.
"Indeed, but now look closely."
As the two began intensely searching the map, I sighed before continuing.
"The edges of the map."
On the corners of the map, a sharp purple color was beginning to spread further and further toward the center with every second.
Thinking and staring at the map, Han suddenly had a revelation, as he had said.
"Are those the boundaries...?"
Nodding my head, I replied.
"Yep, with this map, we can see how far the border is from us at any time by just finding our location on the map."
Seeing that the tower's location was far away from the purple color on the map, the three of us sighed before joining me in the shade.
After a couple of moments, an awkward silence took over as the three of us rested in the shade, enjoying the wind breeze, while the two drones stared at us.
...
...
...
Outside of the magic arena, in a room where a bunch of recruiters were, Charlotte, staring at the screen displayed by her drone, stood up angrily.
"IS THAT EVEN A GODDAMN BATTLE ROYALE ANYMORE!? WHAT THE HELL AM I WATCHING!?"
Sharing his same sentiment, other recruiters beside her exclaimed.
"I'VE SEEN PG-13 MOVIES MORE VIOLENT THAN THIS."
"IS THIS A VACATION OR A WARZONE!?"
"I DID NOT TRAVEL TEN DAYS TO SEE A BUNCH OF STUDENTS DOING A HELLUVA OF LOT OF ANYTHING!"
Further back into the same room, a group of older-looking people, each wearing a badge that read "Celestial Academy," sighed simultaneously.
One of them, turning to the only person sitting in a chair amongst them, said.
"Should we do something?"
Expressing the same sentiment, another school executive leaned downward and said to the sitting woman.
"Headmaster Seraphina... over half of the students have joined a big alliance and are just walking around while taking control of the center."
"...the rest of the students are either resting... or walking around aimlessly with no goal."
Shaking her head, the Seraphina tipped her glasses before smiling and saying.
"Just wait... you'll miss it all if you start complaining now."
Ignoring the impatient and restless executives, Seraphina pushed back her elegant ocean-blue hair before staring at a certain screen.
On the screen lay the top-ranked students: Liam, Kevin, Lily, Irene, Zach, Alya, and Ruby.
Each of them was holding their signature weapon while seeming to just be walking around with no goal in mind.
However, the location of these top-ranked students was very peculiar, considering their power level.
Right behind them, the barrier of the magic circle could be seen slowly closing in, but the main cast showed no rush.
Smiling, Seraphina continued watching the screen with interest.
It wasn't just Seraphina that was watching the screen with the main cast; however, some other notable figures had their gazes locked on it.
One recruiter, with blood-red eyes and jet-black hair, seeming to be slightly older than a graduate of Celestial academy, watched it fiercely.
"Liam, huh... let's just see if father was lying or not."
