Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 40 Battle Royal

"yeah this is going to be one nasty battle" Jake nodded and said.

"any way, I should eliminate participants as many as possible" Jake said and then jumped high in the Sky, to look around.

Reaching high in sky, Jake saw his location is inside a forest, and surroundings are only forest too.

Returning to land Jake mumbled "It seems the Arena is Forest"

[Then this royale is quite genius,] Nexus commented.

"Yes, inside a forest they can check participants most of the capability, a good way truly" Jake nodded.

Jake then started walking towards the center of the forest, "if this arena will shrink then, it's most probably the central area is where everyone will go".

After sometimes of walking, he suddenly Jake tilted his head and a arrow passed by.

Jake then swing his sword from where the arrow came and then..

Arghhhhhh

A grueling scream came and then a light pillar rose to sky.

{wow, not even 2 minutes and we have our first elimination, and yes, the light pillar is a elimination}

{also each participants will drop a Badge, don't forget to collect it}

Jake after listening to announcement walked to the bush where the earlier attacker was hiding and he found a simple golden badge.

"hmm, might be some kind of identification given to each participant" Jake mumbled and then put away the badge.

"This guy was weak" Jake said and then resumed his journey to central area.

[It's not he is weak, you are too strong, your counter attack only took a second, not giving any chance to dodge to poor guy] Nexus said.

"I guess so" Jake nodded.

\\/////////////////\\

On Mark side

Unlike Jake, Mark got teleported along with some other participants.

Each participants eyed each other cautiously and when Announcement happened, each got tense and gripped their weapons.

"How about we go in different directions without fighting?" One of them said.

Others including Mark nodded and then each of them went in different direction.

"I should preserve my strength as much as possible" Mark thought as he moved cautiously.

but it changed the moment first light pillar rose and second announcement happened.

Mark quickly moved to previous location and as expected some others also appeared back.

Mark readied his spear, others too readied their weapons and then each of them choose their opponents and lunged at them.

Mark fought with a Sword wielding participant.

Clank

"My name is David Beckham, how about you?" David said blocking Mark spear.

"Mark," Mark replied and then swung his spear, David tried to dodge but Mark changed the trajectory mid way and pierced David heart.

"cough, it was good" David said and with a light pillar he got teleported away.

Mark then looked at others and saw them fighting.

"stop" suddenly one of them said.

"lets first defeat that guy, or we all will lost against him" The same guy said pointing at Mark.

"yes, let's first defeat him, he defeated that guy easily, he is definitely strong than all of us" Another nodded and then the fight became 1vs 8.

'hmm, all of them are E rank, it's doable' Mark thought and then lunged at the nearest guy, he blocked Mark spear with his sword but Mark easily overpowered him and defeated him.

"Damm, attack him together!!!" one of them shouted and then they together attacked Mark.

Mark easily dodged their sword and counterattacked and within moments several light pillar rose.

Although Mark is not as strong as Jake who can defeat an opponent two ranks above him but he can defat a opponent one rank above him, a group Of E rank of course wouldn't be any problem for him.

\\//////////////////////\\

On Emily side, it was another lone teleportation, She appeared alone in middle of a forest.

Just like Jake she decided to moved towards central area but unlike Jake who missed a lot of opponents, Emily wind perception allowed her to locate many participants who then got slaughtered by Emily's arrows.

\\///////////\\////////////

On Jimmy side it was even simple who ever met him got killed.

He even fought some good participants, who gave him a good fight but all eventually got eliminated by him.

After each party eliminated their opponents they moved towards central area.

Jake was the first one to arrive followed by Michael.

Micheal, the moment saw Jake got tensed, he decided to back off but..

"where are you going?" Jake asked.

"You are here right? Then how can I reamian here" Michael laughed and said.

And the answer he got was a lighting bullet.

Raising his Great sword he blocked it but 'Its powerful, is he really E rank as us?' Micheal thought blocking the bullet.

"Let's just fight it out" Jake Said and then several lighting beads formed around him and each of them then rushed at Michael.

"Damm it, Golden King Dome" Michael yelled and then a golden dome expanded from him, and stopped after forming a dome of 10 m radius.

When the lighting Bullets reached Dome they stopped.

'No... They are just moving too slowly' Jake looked at the bullets and understood what happened.

He then used Akashic eyes on Michael.

[Name : Michael Ourorus

Race : Dragonoid

Core : Clockwork (Pseudo white)

Corel Energy : Time Mana

Rank : E+

Description : A dragonoid from Time dragon clan, with their inherent special core Clockwork, that can harness Mana of Time essence.]

'A special core huh?' Jake smiled and then created lighting swords and grabbed one of them.

Pointing his sword towards the Michael he said "That dome, is sucking quite a amount of your Core energy right?".

Michael gritted his teeth and kept destroying the lighting bullets, 'I have to do it fast'. And it was true, each time he used his golden dome it took, 1% of his core energy every second.

Finally after 5 seconds he destroyed enough bullets to make path for him and then he canceled the dome and other bullets passed him and destroyed the forest behind him.

While Jake is kept holding his sword and smiling at him.

"Let me go and I will give you this" Michael said as he brought out a White Lily like flower.

[Name : Space dew Lily

Rank : Unique

Description : A lily that allows one to sense space, Eating it raw will provide 10% chance of acquiring Spatial awareness, while after careful processing via Alchemy and then Injesting it will let one have Spatial awareness.]

Jake nodded and then he took the lily and let him go, This Lily is after all a good bargain.

And Michael is mentally cursing Jake non-stop, after losing the lily.

'As long he is in this match I can't have first rank but at least I have to aim for 2nd rank' Michael though and moved some distance away from central area.

And Jake kept siting at Central area.

"Hello~~" Jake suddenly heard a coquettish voice calling him

Turning his head towards the source he saw the Dragon girl standing along side Michael from earlier.

She is quite tall with long blue hair and cerulean eyes and most importantly, They are huge, they are huge, they are huge.

Important things need to be said three times.

"What do you need" Jake removing his eyes from two melons asked.

The girl smiled and then crossed her hands and pushed her melons upwards. " My name is Melina Dia, nice to meet you".

She smirked and said.

'what a succubus' Jake thought and then pointed his finger at her and then a bullet pierced her heart.

"Huh?" Melina puzzely watched as a light pillar rose and teleported her away.

Arriving at the location where all eliminated participants are, she looked at her bre.. Cough Heart place and saw a burnt hole.

'he definitely looked at my breast so why?' She thought.

Back to Jake

[why did you killed her?] Nexus asked.

"she is quite a schemer, she was going to distract me by seducing me and then kill me" Jake replied.

[....] Nexus became speechless.

"What?" Jake asked.

[Nothing] Nexus replied while thinking Jake is paranoid.

Soon many participants came but all of them got eliminated easily by Jake and the number of badges in Jake possession increased.

After some more time another announcement happened.

{Now that only 10 participants are remaining, the arena will shrink}

After the announcement a Blue light encased whole Forest and then it started shrinking.

Jake climbed up the tree and looked at the wall and then he brought out his Void Dagger.

As the Arena area shrinked, Jake saw many people running towards the central area,Jake smiled and then aimed his Dagger and then death rained from sky for remaining participants, Jake even attacked his friends, and eliminated them too.

And soon Jake became the only remaining Participant.

{Congratulations to Jake Dreamstar for Achievement of First Rank}.

[As Liliac said, it was not even a warm up for you] Nexus said.

"Well I hoped, but I guess having dual core is truly a cheat thing" Jake nodded and then he too got teleported out.

When Jake opened his eyes, he appeared inside a room.

"Now your next test which will be Territory Defense" The examiner appeared and said, and then snapped his finger and a Soul Gear appeared in each participants hands.
