Chapter 134: Good Spot
Chapter 134: Good Spot
As the darkness envelops the Mt. Verrater, white seishin essences in the environment became thinner as visible lights started to go away along with the sun. As a result, Kraftvoll used more of his inner seishin essences than normal in conjuring the Lightguard seishin spell.
When he finished chanting, an armor made up of light particles formed around Kraftvoll's body. Along with the defense it gave, it also gave him an enhancement in his overall speed and mobility. As a result, the Lightguard seishin spell made his movement more agile and fast than before alongside the protection it gave him.
Unlike Belle, Kraftvoll thought of sprinting toward the west. This move of Kraftvoll made it unlikely for him and Belle to encounter each other in the competition. When it was Kraftvoll's turn, he decided to sprint as hard as he can until he managed to see a good spot where he can see everything around the radius.
Kraftvoll managed to find an even bigger tree than the tree that Belle found in the east when she ran to before Kraftvoll's turn. He climbed toward that tree and he decided to go to the top where he can see everything around the radius. He did this because he wanted to ambush other players that may come on his way. The view that Kraftvoll managed to fin gave him plenty of time to prepare for his ambush.
After finding a good spot, Kraftvoll decided to cancel his Lightguard seishin spell. The light that the Lightguard seishin spell was emitting made Kraftvoll visible in the evening. This means that the good hiding spot he found will be going to be useless if he did not do this action.
To make sure that there was no enemy in Kraftvoll's surroundings, he decided to cast that seishin spell to feel everything around him. He chanted, "Oh ye who represents the breath of the world, give me the ability to feel the world, Wind Scan!"
Green seishin essences gathered around Kraftvoll when he was chanting. After invoking that seishin spell, Kraftvoll managed to feel all the movements in his surrounding.
Kraftvoll was relieved because he did not find anyone in the vicinities. He thought to himself, 'Good! I'll just have to cast this seishin spell again after three minutes to make sure.'
He was still not ready for ambushing other students so he was kind of relieved when he felt that no student was around him yet. Now, he started his preparation for the ambush.
After the second batch had entered the fray, this only meant one thing. This means that all the students that joined from the 210th class already entered Mt. Verrater. Due to the mountain's great size, none of them encountered one another from their class so there are still no battles that occurred in the mountains.
After three minutes since the second batch entered the mountain, the next batch was about to let the next batch enter the mountain as well. A moment later, all the teachers assigned as guides decided to let the next batch enter the fray as well. All the students that entered were all from the second grade of Verrater Academy.
The students of the third batch were much more careful on their way to the mountain because an encounter was much more frequent because of the prior batches that were already in the mountain. Like the previous batch, ten students consisting of the third batch were let by the various guides from differents spots from the bottom of the mountain.
Since three minutes have passed since that time when Kraftvoll had cast the Wind Scan seishin spell, he decided to cast it again to make sure. He wanted to know if enemy are approaching at the radius of the spot that he managed to find.
He chanted, "Oh ye who represents the breath of the world, give me the ability to feel the world, Wind Scan!"
Greens seishin essences started to gather around Kraftvoll when he started chanting. After he managed to finish invoking the Wind Scan seishin spell, Kraftvoll was able to feel almost all of the movements in his surroundings.
'There's a footstep coming from the direction of the starting point where I came from!' he thought to himself after he felt a presence in the range of his seishin spell.
Kraftvoll suddenly showed a devious smile. He thought of a plan to ambush this incoming enemy of his.
He started chanting after he thought of a plan against the incoming student. He chanted, "As the element who represents fear itself, I command thee, summon those who lurk in the darkness, Darkness Familiar!"
The person that Kraftvoll felt, using his Wind Scan seishin spell, did not see the black seishin essences that started gathering around Kraftvoll when he started saying his chants because the darkness almost enveloped the Mt. Verrater.
After chanting, Kraftvoll was able to summon his shadow familiar at the branches of the tree along with himself. Kraftvoll decided to give a command to his shadow familiar to hold while they were waiting for that person to pass by. He wanted to successfully ambush the first enemy he stumbled upon in the tournament.
From the direction where Kraftvoll felt a presence, a human boy was running toward Kraftvoll's direction. He was one of the students from the second grade which came from the spot where Teacher Aldwin guided Kraftvoll and the others so basically they are from the same group.
He saw the tree in which Kraftvoll was waiting for him for an ambush. He did not see Kraftvoll and his shadow familiar because they hid well in the tree.
When he saw that big tree where Kraftvoll was hiding, he smiled because he remembered something about the previous Battle Royale competition last yearly tournament.
He thought to himself, 'That's the spot where I hid last year! Let's hide there for now before those seniors come to hunt us students from the lower grades.'
He rushed toward the huge tree with that mindset. The moment Kraftvoll saw him, he insta-cast a seishin spell instantly. He shouted, "Blackout!"
