Chapter 192 It shouldn't be like this
Athena, with her serious and penetrating gaze, observed the scene with a mixture of surprise and concern. She had never imagined that the three titans could unite into a single entity, merging into a creature, elevating their rank to Base-Fallen.
In the room, everyone held a reverential silence, each overwhelmed by the magnitude of what they were witnessing. Although many had complaints about Athena's decision, they remained quiet. All eyes were fixed on the screen, where the battle raged with intensity from the moment the titan merged. They completely ignored other battles involving other students.
Athena's heart skipped a beat when she saw her favorite student, Anthony, being thrown like a projectile by the force of the attack. A sigh of sadness escaped her lips as she lamented the young man's fate. She had harbored great curiosity to uncover Anthony's lineage, but the speed with which he was eliminated from the tournament left her with no answers.
Still, she was pleasantly surprised to see Anthony manage to defend himself within milliseconds, demonstrating his high reaction speed.
The speed and ferocity of Base-Fallen's attack also left Athena perplexed as she attentively observed every move of the creature. After that incident, besides Charlotte, the other girls also activated their bloodlines. The battle was tough, without a doubt, but they stood firm, determined to fight to the end.
Despite their efforts, it was evident that it wouldn't be enough to defeat the powerful creature they faced.
A critical moment arrived when Charlotte, with a determined gesture, summoned all her power in a final desperate attempt to defeat Fallen. However, her efforts were in vain, as the titan still stood, fatally wounded but still standing. Frustration and despair gripped the group.
Athena, with an uncomfortable smile on her lips, observed the situation with an air of resignation. Cristal, her trusted companion, didn't hesitate to reprimand her for her actions, pointing out the recklessness of her decisions. However, Athena let out a sigh, feeling a hint of pride. She was proud of her students, who had bravely faced a creature of such a high rank as Base-Fallen.
Even though they had lost.
"Look, he's alive!" exclaimed Cristal with excitement, her silver eyes starting to shine as she jumped with joy. Just moments ago she was about to kill Athena, the boys were almost about to die, Cristal's voice reached everyone present, who quickly turned to see Anthony.
Athena watched with a mix of amazement as her student, Anthony, advanced towards Fallen, despite his harrowing state. His body was torn, a cascade of blood flowing from every wound, staining the ground with a crimson trail as he moved forward. Yet, his eyes burned with an unrestrained intensity, full of wild madness.
Gripping his left arm tightly, Anthony slowly advanced towards his enemy, each step marked by the pain and agony that consumed him. Despite the severity of his injuries, his countenance was imbued with a burning madness.
Athena's smile widened with excitement as she tightly grasped the staff in her hands. She stood up from her seat, her eyes shining with an intensity exactly matching Anthony's. She watched with fascination as Anthony's body began to radiate darkness, a tumultuous stream seemingly emerging from the depths of his being, thousands of tentacles began to emerge from the ground.
"Finally, I'll see it!" exclaimed Athena, her voice resonating with an excitement she could barely contain, she could even feel her body warming up. The darkness surrounding Anthony and Fallen intensified, enveloping everything around them in a dark and oppressive cloak.
But Athena's eyes rolled back, she looked at Cristal and she also had the same expression as her: "WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!" they both shouted at the same time.
On the screen where Anthony was, it was completely dark: "What happened!" he said as he looked at his friend, "I don't know!" she also shouted, Cristal was also very excited a moment ago, she wanted to see Anthony with his lineage, her surprise was great when she couldn't see anything. Cristal and Athena, as if they were connected, sat down and pouted, crossing their arms under their large breasts.

Emily's POV
"What was that?" Alicia asked, frowning as the echo of the explosion resonated in the air. Ezekiel also perceived the intense mana discharge; it was such a powerful explosion that it even slightly shook the ground beneath their feet.
Emily's red eyes glowed with an unusual intensity as she scrutinized the surroundings with a penetrating gaze. The explosion had triggered a reaction in her blood, awakening in her an instinctive certainty. She knew that only one person had the power to unsettle her bloodline: her older brother.
Following the faint thread of mana she had detected, Emily darted forward without uttering a word. Alicia and Ezekiel exchanged a glance filled with uncertainty before deciding to follow Emily.
Emily furrowed her brow, running for a few minutes until she reached the wall of a mountain, amidst these rocks was a small fissure that they could perfectly enter, she entered without hesitation, they could feel their blood was much more disturbed: "It's here, he's here," she said in a low voice, Ezekiel and Alicia also entered, upon entering Emily's eyes looked at the huge dome of darkness, her bloodline began to move throughout her body, she could feel that her brother was inside the huge cocoon.
"Alicia, Emily, what are you doing in this place?" A tired voice startled them out of their thoughts. They looked at Daniela, Charlotte, Eleanor, Adelaida, and Edward on the ground, their clothes in tatters and their expressions extremely pale. Alicia could feel that their mana reserves were nonexistent. "What happened in this place?" Alicia asked as she knelt on the ground next to her friends.
"This," said Charlotte, pointing to the cocoon of darkness in front of them. Alicia had also seen the cocoon of darkness, but she couldn't feel or hear anything.
Daniela briefly explained what had happened. She told them they had met and decided to go together. They found this place where there were three titans, but then they merged to create a Base-Fallen creature. Anthony was the first to fall when the creature attacked them by surprise. She told them that the others activated their bloodlines to try to kill him, but they still lost.
Just when they thought they had lost, Anthony got up and created that cocoon of darkness.
The three of them were stunned, there were only Base-Titan rank Creatures supposed to be there. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
