The Return of the King (Season 1) [DISCONTINUED] <UNDERGOING REWRITE>

Chapter 6: The Second Round Begins

After the first round was done there were only 5000 people left. These people could be considered as a 'cut' above the rest {That was deliberate}. However the truly strong ones had yet to be decided. There were many who did not know each other's strengths and weaknesses or how strong they are. There were also people like Samael who knew everything about their opponents. But amidst all of them there was one who seemed to not care whatsoever about the rest of the competition. This man was Samael. He had seen many battles and partaken in many wars so this was normal for him. Finally at 10:30 the next day the time had come. The time for the beginning of the Second Round.

As before people were once again pitted against one another. This time however something was different. Yes this time people were not fighting each other. On the contrary they had to take some tests to see how strong they were. As such some would be ahead of the rest while others would fall behind. The tests were on Power, Control, Efficiency and penetration power. The first round began...

The contestants all lined up in front of the test dummies they are supposed to attack. Most of them looked nervous as they were all lacking in one or more aspect. The only one who seemed absolutely calm is Samael. He, unlike the rest, were balanced in all aspects. Thus came the first test. The test of power.

Now there are some classes like the berserkers who are naturally stronger than the rest and more durable as well but.... Against Samael, it's like pitting a man against a baby. Even the strongest berserker at this stage has a strength of 150 at most. Samael's strength on the other hand was 178. It was akin to bullying somebody. Now most classes had something they specialized in. However that was not the case for swordsmen. They were the 'Jack of all Trades'. Not focused on either strength or speed but both at the same time. The first test was to see how strong one was, meaning this was a test for berserkers. However that was about to change.

When everyone was ready they prepared their strongest attacks, Samael on the other hand just activated a basic skill of his, Void Armament. Everyone launched their attacks at the same time. Some attacks were incredibly strong while others were incredibly flashy but lacked strength. However, Samael's strike was different. He just casually swung his sword however that casual swing from him had caused so much damage that even the invigilators were stupefied. After all regardless of how portent your armament is, it is still in the end just a casual swing... However he'd changed the landscape behind the dummy and the dummy itself had been ripped to pieces.

After that the tests continued and in every single test Samael dominated his fellow participants. Heck a time came when even the audience had started to bet on who would be the second place, cause everybody already believed that Samael was going to dominate each and every test... Well they weren't wrong seeing that he truly did dominate all the tests.

On the other hand the scouting party of the void beasts had just arrived near the Capital. It was time for the attack to commence. Nobody was aware but this day would mark the beginning of a bloody war that would be known in history as the Void War. The third large scale war in the history of the planet... The world would be changed... For better or for worse? That I'll leave for you to decide. After all i'm just a narrator.
