Chapter 35: Chapter 35-Chaos(6)(Edited)

After Eleanor had disappeared, I directly slumped to the floor. I was bleeding from several areas, and I almost died. If I don't treat myself now, I am sure that I am going to die from bleeding. My ears are buzzing from the screams of my sisters, and my head is filled with many useless thoughts.

'sy-system Qu-quickly get me the potion for me to drink and fast'

[Product purchased, delivering]

Suddenly, the container quickly appeared in front of me. I was lying on the floor helplessly, looking at it. Pushing myself, I use my only good hand to lift it, using all my effort, I quickly push it into my mouth, drinking it at one gulp, falling back to the ground again.

The mysterious healing quickly started to flow through me, bringing me back to shape, though it was slower than before. The current healing rate is at least ten times slower than the one before.

I am so glad that I can't feel pain right now, or else I might be crying on the floor. No matter how tough it is, I don't think that being stabbed by different daggers is a pleasant feeling.

Well, that is one of the main reasons that all the people in the viewing room were impressed, to see an 11-year-old boy with such pain tolerance or bravery. There are many talented people, but to go on fighting even when you are in pain, now that's impressive.

Sigh... if only they could know the truth.

While I was going into different fantasies to somehow forget my current situation, a voice was heard, the very same emotionless A.I. voice from the beginning.

"An unknown individual has entered the trail; tampering is said to be done. Calculating countermeasures."

'Umm?'

'Wait, what?'

"The countermeasures calculated; the next round shall be combined with the last round, increasing the difficulty."

"The last round shall take place in the next ten minutes."

"Best of luck."

'What the heck?'

'You are increasing the difficulty because of this?'

'Even if Eleanor hadn't interfered, I would still be fine!'

That's not a lie. After having died unknowingly in a shootout after coming to this world and knowing that it's more dangerous than my old world, I had already set up many life-saving measures on myself throughout the last years.

Even if the blade had gone through my skin, many hidden items and spells on my body would have killed that dagger-waving bastard.

So, I am to suffer for this?

'Wait, all of them will come together as one?'

'Then I should just buy a huge bomb and blast them all together.'

Suddenly, the stress on me was gone, and I started to relax.

'Hey system, buy me a huge bomb and give it to me.'

[It is advised that the host does not do it.]

'Why?'

[Currently, the space has been restricted, and the item cannot be delivered.]

[Plus it's better for the host to win this with just your strength if you want to awaken your bloodline.]

I raised an eyebrow at the last sentence. This was the first time that this stingy system had said anything valuable without me paying for it.

'Looks like I can only depend on myself in the end.'

Even with the potion, I drank; it would be impossible to completely recover. It would only help me maintain my life for the time being.

Sighing to myself, I quickly searched my body and took out a container. Unlike the others, this gave off a mystical feeling, and an abundant amount of life force can be felt from it.

[Item: The Holly Tree's Nectar

Description: A nectar derived from the holy tree of life, said to bring even the dead back to life.

Uses: Drinking this completely heals any injuries, or diseases, and cures all ailments, bringing you back to tip-top condition.

Cost: 300,000]

An extremely expensive item, I had luckily found it at an offer and bought some. My heart pains about drinking it, knowing that a few minutes later, I would end up in the same situation again. I had kept it in my inner pockets just as a safeguard, and it looked like it came in handy.

Without wasting any time, I quickly opened it. An extremely sweet and relaxing scent was released. Without any delay, I quickly drank it.

'Wow.'

The taste was just too sweet, it was like something I couldn't describe. I felt as if I was melting. All the injuries quickly healed, and the mana that I had spent also recovered, much to the surprise of the onlookers.

I stood up and felt the power in my body. There were no injuries on me currently, but my body was covered with blood from head to toe, and I looked completely like a beggar.

Seeing that I only had 5 minutes left, I quickly began to prepare. Looking at my bow, I could see some scratches and cracks. It looks like the bow could not last much longer.

Looking at my sisters, I could see their worried faces. Currently, they were lying inside the barrier, not being able to move, their eyes completely trailing my now bloodied body.

They knew that the next round would be the end, but they didn't know if I would survive it or not. I could see it in their eyes, the pain Elda felt upon my hurt body, the unwillingness flowing through Nora at the current situation.

Standing in front of them, I didn't say much, only three words.

"I will win."

Saying so, I stood in front of them, waiting for the next wave, and 5 minutes flowed quickly as the bell rang. Several figures quickly began to form; this time, 60 humanoids appeared.

And there was a difference too. In the middle of the group stood a humanoid completely different from the rest. He stood there like a commander, ready to lead his army, and all those who appeared stood in discipline as if trained.

This time I wasn't facing a bunch of headless chickens but a group of trained soldiers who had someone leading them.

'Looks like things have gotten serious.'

Without any delay, I quickly pulled the arrow. To kill a herd, kill its leader first, and then the rest will follow.

As soon as the test began, archers drew their bows, assassins disappeared from view, mages began their spells, and the warriors held up their shields to protect their own.

'Looks like I need to go all out on this one.'

Without any delay, I quickly activated my defense mechanisms. The mana ring I wore started supplying me with a great amount of mana, and my protective barrier quickly covered all my vital zones, making them impenetrable.

Using the excess mana flowing through me, I quickly activated a powerful spell. I got buffed up, increasing my speed, strength, and power.

After that, the war began... or in this case, a one-way bullying.

Under the command of the commander, all the humanoids quickly started to move. I wasn't still as I drew several arrows, multiplied them, and fired them at the weak links I had identified.

Just like before, several dagger-wielding humanoids appeared to cut at me, but this time I quickly held the bow with one hand and took out a small knife, which I used to deflect and kill two of the dagger-wielding humanoids while my eyes glowed black and gold.

At the same time, several arrows flew toward me and the barrier protecting my sisters. Without delay, I cast a small spell {whirlwind}, causing them to change directions while I fired two chaos arrows at the other humanoids who were closing in.

But the moment they got close, they were deflected by the other mages, causing their direction to change, leaving no effects at all. Just as I fired, the dagger-wielding humanoids appeared, cutting at me.

I quickly changed my weapon to the knife and started fighting them. With my increased strength, I could push them back in a one-on-one fight, but as I was fighting them, the mages and the archers quickly started firing at the barrier my sister was at.

The barrier quickly started to have more cracks on it. Seeing this, I quickly pushed and killed one of the dagger-wielding humanoids and tried to create some space with them. But that's when I realized that I was surrounded.

As I was fighting them, the others quickly formed a circle and began to surround me. Currently, some sword and spear-wielding humanoids were coming upon my back, cutting off my exit route.

Seeing that there was no other way, I quickly started to fight back more, but it was getting more difficult as attacks began to come from my back, even when I fired arrows, they were being stopped by the shields.

I quickly threw a smoke bomb to cover myself, but it was quickly pushed away by some wind spells. I couldn't go invisible either because all the attacks would then be forced onto the barriers protecting my sisters.

I quickly started to build up more injuries. Seeing this, I quickly brought my knife to the chest, gathered a large amount of mana, and made a slash, causing those close to me to be cut and the approaching ones to move back.

I needed to move fast, as the barrier was breaking.


Chapter 36: Chapter 36- Awakening(Edited)

Just as the slash was finished, I gained a quick breathing space. I used it to draw my bow to fire two flame arrows. I quickly fired two of the arrows at the humanoids attacking the barrier, creating a wall of flames blocking them.

I quickly activated the band to move through the encirclement. I quickly phased through the humanoids who were confused after their target disappeared. I moved among them, arriving in front of the barrier where the now undying flame was being put out.

Standing within the space created, I deactivated the band and quickly drew the void arrow, and fired at the commander. As the arrow flew toward it, a shield user quickly stood in front to block the arrow, but the arrow passed through the shield user and flew toward the commander.

But instead of hitting the commander, the arrow was dodged and broken by the commander.

'Looks like it's not all talk.'

I stood back straight and looked at my current circumstances. I had different types of these humanoids attacking me from all around me, and all I had was a bow and some arrows.

With a smile, I gathered all my mana and took out three arrows, the frost, flames, and void arrows. Then I added a spell {combine}.

All of a sudden, all three arrows gathered together. As they combined into one, an extremely eye-catching arrow was created. Without any hesitation, I quickly gathered my momentum and started spinning, and fired the arrow while multiplying it.

I focused more on the humanoids on my back to get rid of the danger they posed. After half a minute, I stopped spinning. I could see that all of those that covered my back disappeared, but there remained at least 30 left.

It was at this time I heard a cracking sound and saw that the barrier protecting my sisters was broken. At the same time, arrows rained from the sky. Turning around, I saw the commander protected by its soldiers standing strong.

Elda and Nora looked at the rain of arrows, quickly arriving at them. They closed their eyes, accepting their fate. Perhaps this is better, as after they died, maybe their brother would survive.

But even after closing their eyes for a few seconds, nothing happened. Opening their eyes, they were greeted with the sight of Austin towering over them, with arrows plunged into him!

Blood flowed from his body, but he still stood tall, protecting them.

"Austin!"

"Big brother!"

Nora and Elda called out in despair, but I didn't respond. I only gave them a feeble smile, which caused their falling tears to increase.

While at the same time in the viewing room, Eleanor broke the tiles under her, releasing all of her power in rage.

Grace broke down completely in tears, while her heart broke. The pressure from Eleanor caused others to be quickly pushed back.

"Where is your historic world connected?"

Eleanor's voice was soft, but the power in each of her words wasn't. Claus, the Emperor's eyes flashed with anger.

"Bow, Empress. I put up with you till now on the fact that you were Austin's teacher, but the things you have done now have gone too far."

Instead of answering, Eleanor started laughing out loud. After laughing for a bit, she spoke.

"What great grandfather are you?"

Eleanor's voice was filled with sarcasm.

"What do you mean?"

"There you see one of your descendants fighting for his life. No, an 11-year-old child is risking his life doing something that none of you had the backbone to do."

"And here you are watching it like it's some sort of show."

"You are not fit to be related to Austin. He has twice the bravery than you who has lived for hundreds of years."

Each of Eleanor's words hit directly into Bruce's heart, raising his anger, but he still controlled himself. He didn't live all this life not knowing how to control his anger.

"Then what should I have done?"

"You know very well that nothing could be done."

Eleanor bit her lips at his words. She knew that all though she was strong, she didn't have the ability to break into the historic world created by the founding ancestor, much less after it was strengthened by the past figures who left their legacies in it.

"But I will still try."

Eleanor didn't want to back down, no, she didn't want to lose Austin, and she would do anything to get him back. She wouldn't be able to handle losing him.

"Then I will stop you."

Bruce didn't back down either. They both quickly vanished, bringing their fight somewhere else. At this time, Olivia was looking at the screen. Right now, her emotions were in a mess.

She thought that she would be happy to see Austin being beaten up, but she didn't. She knew her sadistic side wanted to trample on him after he had dealt a blow to her pride.

But she just couldn't be happy seeing him now. Everything that Austin did was to protect his sisters. Even antagonizing her was for them. For a moment, she was jealous.

Should she be happy or sad? But she knew one thing right now, the hate she gathered for him before had decreased a bit.

'You better not die, Austin.'

While Olivia was going through her thoughts, there was someone else going through the same, too. The Empress Lora was having suicidal tendencies.

Watching Austin get beaten up, her anger and bloodlust flared up. She was even thinking of taking her life if Austin died.

Every time Austin was hurt, it was like her flesh was being ripped. She couldn't handle it. She knew her thoughts were not healthy, but she couldn't stop.

While all these people were having different thoughts, the situation inside the historic world was changing.

'Damn, I must look like a porcupine right now.'

The moment I saw those arrows flying toward them, I knew that with my limited mana, I couldn't do much, so I had to move. Even though I got hit, my vitals were still protected.

Coughing a bit of blood, I looked toward my sisters who were stunned, not completely processing what happened. I weakly smiled at them and slowly turned my body. With all the arrows on my body, it was not easy.

When I turned around, I saw the remaining humanoids looking at me. They were getting ready to make their next move, but suddenly they stopped. All of them froze.

Up above in the sky, a figure started to form. It was Luke, the founding Emperor. He stood there in the sky, floating and looking at me. The previous impassive eyes had a bit of respect in them. After him, several other figures quickly started to form in the sky, all of them famous and powerful individuals. It was Luke who spoke.

"I have seen several kids enter this world and exit, all of them having different talents and abilities."

"I have seen them live and die, but I nor any of this consciousness within this world has ever interfered in the trials."

"But for once we choose to interfere. Boy, no, Austin, I am giving you a chance right now to leave this trial with your life. Take it."

"Do you really have to go through all this pain and suffering?"

"I can see that you are using some kind of forbidden technique to draw power from your potential."

"I don't want to see such a talented and willed child die, so take the offer."

The more Luke spoke, the more dazed I became. Pain? Suffering?

Bro, I don't feel any pain right now. Sure, I look all beaten up, but I am not even in a bit of pain. And as for the forbidden technique, I am just drawing a large amount of mana from the ring I wear. What the hell are you saying?

Wait, this could be the perfect show-off moment. I quickly activated my bullshit-speaking mode.

While Austin was thinking about heart-moving words to say, the girls who he thought were stunned quickly regained their focus.

They looked toward Austin, standing in front of them, filled with arrows. Yet, even after that, he stood in front of them to protect them.

The image of him standing in front of them, protecting them while being filled with arrows and blood was engraved into both Nora's and Elda's hearts, never to be forgotten in their life. At the same time, small changes occurred.
