Game World's Awakening-Chapter 200: Dream
He was in shock.
It couldn't be possible that he had the misfortune of being the target of two skill combinations in less than 15 days!
He hadn't even seen one in his 18 years of life, and now, in one week, he was going to be the target of two?
The danger was that this time, these guys weren't those tanks. Even though he had strengthened himself beyond the limit, his blows were still weaker than they should be.
If he allowed these two guys to throw that kind of combo at him like that, he would possibly lose. Time was running out for him. His summons were still recovering inside him; he couldn't let any more time pass.
He didn't hesitate for a second. As soon as he saw this combo appear and knew the danger it posed to him, he immediately summoned his ninth summon.
A Night Crow appeared in front of the two attackers. They didn't have time to react when a strange darkness struck them.
They immediately pushed their strength to the limit. They couldn't let Elliot activate that ability.
They had to kill him!
So, their strength passed through and struck Elliot with everything they had... It was a combined ruin ability.
A powerful ruin spread to the surroundings, forcing everything to bow before them.
"You're dead--!"
Just then...
Everything returned to reality.
A head rolled on the ground after meeting a strong blow from an elegant and peculiar sword, and a hammer crushed the rest of the body.
At the same time, a peculiar body was struck many times by a rough and direct sword. It didn't have as much elegance as the first one, but it did have power.
At that moment, the darkness that had enveloped the surroundings dissipated. Jenna, who had killed Ruin alongside Andrew, fell to the ground.
Elliot, on the other side, also fell to the ground.
[You have killed a Master-Rank Elven Awakened One.]
[You have gained 7 points in Sense and 4 points in Strength.]
A terrifying silence enveloped the surroundings...
The room of powerful people was in chaos.
"What was that strength?" Martin Moore asked in shock. "That strength was above that of a Professional Player!"
Everyone was just as astonished as he was.
Even Steward, who was the center of everyone's attention.
He shook his head in frustration.
"I'm wondering the same thing. But I'm sure that's not his strength," he said.
"It's not? Did something give him a boost?"
"Could it be an item? It could also be his weapon. Although I didn't see him change it, except when he threw that one," said Master Cat.
But Steward had other thoughts, because he knew that Elliot's weapons didn't increase stats that way.
Although he knew that Elliot had a weapon that he didn't want to show for anything in the world, according to him, it didn't increase his stats, but his total attack power.
So it couldn't be a weapon, let alone armor.
'Could it be his summons? Although they all died,' he thought, finding that counterproductive.
Why would he let it die if he had a summon that could increase his powers so dramatically? And why would it remain intact after the deactivation of that ability or magic? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
But then, what was it?
While he was in shock, he hadn't realized that, in fact, they had just won the final battle.
It wasn't until the disciples of Zargo Academy suddenly stood up that they understood.
"Congratulations on becoming the Leveled League Champion, Mr. Steward, gentlemen of Angelic Wave!" they exclaimed, with a strange, peculiar joy.
Steward looked at them with a question mark on his face, but his face cleared slowly, and he suddenly stood up.
"That's right, we won!" he exclaimed joyfully.
Finally, everyone at the highest level realized what was happening.
"Hahaha, congratulations. You've done very well."
"I'd like to meet that guy later."
Steward barely heard the congratulations from everyone around him before running out onto the battlefield.
Everyone from Angelic Wave everywhere had gone crazy over this.
Shouts of joy echoed across the coast, and fireworks began to shoot up from different squares, streets, and houses.
Angelic Wave wins! Announced the system.
Angelic Wave is the new Champion of the Coastal Leveled Leagues!
This frenzy of joy reached every corner of the city.
Even Elliot's old friends from his days as a Misfit couldn't believe it.
Far away, in the distant Kingdom of Lux, some people were also in shock, watching this.
Like Erick, who fled Agora and set off on his journey far away.
On the battlefield, Elliot lay face up for a while.
Andrew came to help him, but he signaled that it wasn't necessary.
"Go help the Twins. They took quite a beating when they were hit by those attacks," he said.
He did so.
Meanwhile, Jenna got up as best she could and reached his side before lying beside him.
"We have risen above the Coastal Cities of the Arce Kingdom. Zargo, Clark, Elemental... all the legendary participants in this tournament have fallen before us," she said, smiling softly.
"It feels a little unreal, you know?" Elliot said. "Not long ago, I was carrying sacks of all kinds of things on my back so I could put food in my mouth. I was dreaming of becoming an Awakened One."
"And suddenly, it came true. Fate heard my deepest desires and gave me a chance."
"That's... unreal."
"I feel like it could slip away from me at any moment. That... at any moment I'll wake up from this dream and everything will go back to the way it was before. A man destined not to Awaken. With luck, a civilian; with bad luck, a Misfit."
"Sometimes I'm afraid to close my eyes. Because I think it will all end."
Jenna listened patiently before responding with a soft smile.
"I haven't had it as hard as you, Elliot. I tend to be immature in many ways because I was raised spoiled, but..." She glanced at him sideways.
"If this is a dream, I hope it doesn't end. That it lets us be champions... And then, when I wake up, if I return to being the weak, spoiled girl, I'll come to Loen and find you. No matter what you've become, I'll support you in whatever you want to do, and I'll marry you. Misfit, civilian, or awakened. I don't care."
Elliot smiled after hearing her. "And if it's not a dream, I'm sure it will narrate our wedding. When we become champions, I'll take you to the Ancient Continent. Let the secrets of past civilizations strike us and help us understand the mysteries of those gods. Maybe we can be like them someday."
"Hahaha, the dream of being a god, huh?" she said and looked up at the clouds above. She could hear many people running toward them, the cheers of the fans in the distance, everything. But right now, she just wanted to focus on Elliot's voice, so she ignored everything else.
"I feel like fulfilling that dream," she said, jokingly.
"Hahaha, I agree."
They both smiled.
But suddenly... everything went silent.
'I wish I could fulfill it,' they thought.
Then, the sound... didn't come back.
They both frowned and looked back, up...
They noticed something was wrong.
Elliot quickly stood up and summoned his sword.
Jenna did the same and stood behind him, looking in the opposite direction. A dangerous look crossed their eyes when they realized that what was wrong was much more serious.
Nothing was moving.
Had someone stopped time?
Impossible.
How could such an absurd event be possible?
Perhaps only a god could do it... and even that was uncertain.
Wait...
A god?
KOCK*
KOCK*
A strange sound of footsteps echoed in their ears, alerting all their senses.
Even his summons remained strangely silent.
Where was it coming from?
What was causing it?
Elliot and Jenna knew they weren't facing something normal, so their most powerful swords were summoned.
Just then...
Kii*
The sound of a bird echoed. They almost died of fright thinking about where to attack, but it was just a bird passing through the sky....
…
'A bird?' Elliot looked up and stared at it. 'A bird, when not even the trees are moving?!'
"Hehe, the dream of being God? A very good dream for two such peculiar beings. I like it." A soft, elegant voice, which seemed to carry hidden mysteries, echoed for both of them, coming from a single direction.
Elliot could finally see where the sound of footsteps was coming from.
A man was walking from the center of the mountain. As he walked, his feet did not touch the ground; they touched strange steps created with energy, which made the rumbling sound of shoes.
He was as tall as Elliot, but his huge mane of hair fell down his back. He wore an elegant, full suit and had a penetrating gaze.
His body exuded a strange power... divine.
A power they had only seen once before, in the body of that Nurotaur. This man was no small thing... he was a true god.
One who should not exist in these lands.
