Chapter 284 The Heavenly Monkeys Vs The Dark Tigers - Part 1
In the arena, the grigard leader lifted the slab since they were of lower-ranking when compared to Heavenly Monkeys and the light that flashed was red.
This meant that individual members of the Grigards had to attack the combined defending team of heavenly monkeys.
The leader of grigards entered the arena.
He wanted his lower-ranking members to go and attack so that he would have an idea and a rough estimate about the levels of the heavenly monkeys. He could even spot their weaknesses.
But all the members were a bit nervous. Instead of helping the leader to spot mistakes, they would end up making mistakes and might make him lose and give motivation to the Heavenly Monkeys.
Due to this reason, he thought it was best for him to go first.
"Let the match, begin!", Reosan announced.
He spotted the weakest among them with the help of his skill [Weakness detection].
It was an Lv.63 monkey.
The grigard leader used his skill [Poision fang] against the monkey, thought to poison it, however, the monkey ended up slapping him instead.
[Thunder slap] was the skill monkey used. Well, the Grigard didn't surrender even after noticing the level gap.
The slap definitely paralyzed the Grigared for a second as it was one of its effects.
He mustered all his courage and attacked the monkeys once again which was his biggest mistake. After the battle, no, it wasn't a battle, after a long slapping session, the grigard gave up. The members, who cheered their leader earlier, were now lowering their gazes in embarrassment. Not to get their clan embarrassed anymore each and every member of the clan gave up.
Instead of being an intense battle that the audience wanted, it was a battle filled with a cringe.
The next battle was between White Wolf Warriors and The Big Sloths.
Since the big sloths ranked lower than the white wolf warriors in which Siara was the leader, the big sloths had to choose the slab again.
Unfortunately enough, their luck wasn't that good this time and they got a red beam of light.
This time big sloths were at a disadvantage as they were the ones attacking.
The battle continued for some time but soon the big sloths lost the battle.
The audience was expecting that this time also they would be able to see some time unexpected just like in the last match of big sloth but this time nothing like that happened.
The battle seemed a bit slow-paced. Also, the attacks were useless. Everyone expected The white wolf warriors to win from the performance earlier, and the same thing happened.
The next battle was between the Fang Clan and The Giants.
It was obvious that the Giants had a lower ranking than the Fang Clan.
They were moving to pick the slab but the fang clan, just like earlier, asked the Giants to do what they wanted. They decided to take upon the offer and defend, thinking that was the best thing they could do.
Like many, they could have just surrendered from the start, but they wanted to see the difference between their strengths and the strengths of the members of the Fang Clan.
The only problem was, they weren't sure if they were going to come out alive!
And just like that, Aaron entered the podium while the remaining stayed behind, either yawning or just thinking about something else.
This time too, it wasn't even a proper battle. Aaron used his aura domain and pinned down all the giants. It was clear that the giants lost but not letting them surrender he killed the all.
It was their bad decision to not surrender from the start. The nation of giants, and the elders of the said nation that had arrived, couldn't do anything more than just grit their teeth and hold back their anger while clenching their fists.
Of course, seeing this scene Shin was enraged yet again.
"That imbecile how dare he!?", Shin raised his voice while looking at the screen in the room.
He kept glaring at the screen as Reosan went forward and announced the matching of the next battle.
The next battle was between two strong clans – Ice Fox and Dark Tigers. However, since both sides were strong, the battle just kept on getting dragged out.
Regardless, the dark tigers ended up winning it.
These battles were of some strongest clans. Many more battles happened after which the quarter-finals started.
The quarter-finals weren't worth mentioning either. The battles weren't that exciting despite the participation of the strong clans. Generally, one would make mistake and the other would exploit it. Also, if none of them made any mistakes, it was becoming a battle of endurance.
Regardless, none of them were that noteworthy. Even Shin's battle, which sent shivers down others' spines, was soon forgotten as it seemed to be the same tactics since earlier.
In any case, the one battle that was the best and became memorable was the last match of the Quarter Finals - The Heavenly Monkeys VS The Dark Tigers.
Not many skills of heavenly monkeys were revealed and the only skills they knew were [Thunder Slap], [Scratch], [Bite], and [Lightning Run].
The Dark tigers lifted the slab and the light that flashed was blue light.
They weren't that lower ranked than the Heavenly Monkeys, yet, the difference was indeed shown. The aura and the crowd, most of them openly supported and cheered for the Heavenly Monkeys. As for the Dark Tigers, some even booed and tried to decrease their morals.
"Let us show them the power of our clan…", the leader of the Dark Tigers said.
One of the monkeys from the Heavenly Monkeys Clan entered the arena.
Unlike the previous battles, this time, killing was allowed – though, even earlier, Fang Clan committed murders that no one questioned.
The leader of the Black Tigers sent the weakest member, expecting to have a good fight, to showcase their strength.
A fierce battle did indeed start. However, the monkey easily killed the tiger from their group.
