Heavenly Saga

Chapter 135: Kraftvoll's First Loot

The second-grader decided to go on the huge tree where Kraftvoll was hiding because it was the same hiding spot that he used last Battle Royale competition. Without him knowing, he was walking right to Kraftvoll's trap. 

The moment Kraftvoll laid his eyes toward the incoming enemy, he decided to insta-cast a seishin spell. He shouted, "Blackout!"

Kraftvoll did not use any chant to conjure this seishin spell because he wanted the enemy to not feel his presence. He thought that if he did it this way, the enemy will be not able to make any response to his plan.

The moment the effect of the Blackout seishin spell had taken effect, the student from the second grade panicked.

"What the f*ck is happening here!?" he cursed when he suddenly lost his sight.

After his target lost his sight, Kraftvoll smiled deviously after the initial part of his plan had succeeded. The next thing that he did was to five his command to his shadow familiar. She shouted, "Knock him out, now!"

Kraftvoll's shadow familiar jumped from the tree and charged toward the confused enemy. "An ambushed!? Crap!" he cursed again after hearing Kraftvoll's shout.

A moment later Kraftvoll's shadow familiar successfully managed to knock his master's first target in the competition. After seeing that, Kraftvoll climbed down after he saw the enemy knocked out by his shadow familiar.

"Time to get my first loot!" he said while jumping from the tree he climbed earlier. His devious expression became even more than before. If someone saw the expression of this kid, they would get spooked by what he was showing.

He saw the plate on which the contestant's number was written into and he said, "Number 27, huh. Well, I better get moving, I think this hiding spot is easy to find. I better find another one or else I will face strong foes." he said as he hides the enemy's number.

He climbed down toward his shadow familiar's back. The moment he managed to get down, he commanded to his shadow familiar, "Let's climb this mountain further!"

Kraftvoll's shadow familiar immediately followed his master's command. It ran toward the upper part of the mountain.

When Kraftvoll went away from that area where knocked on his first target, a man enveloped in darkness suddenly came to retrieve the knockout student. He brought that student back to the camp where the teachers were waiting for their students.

Back in the Alstan Stadium, all the audience saw what had transpired. They saw Kraftvoll's clever antics to ambush the incoming second-grader. All of them cheered to the prodigious first grader.

Along with the audience, the emcee also saw the whole thing with the huge water-screen. He announced it using his sound-amplifying seishin device. He said, "A student from the first grade managed to knock a second-year student! It was the first knock out of this competition! One of the members of our academy's Shadow Corp retrieved him from the battlefield!" 

The Shadow Corp was a special force of the Verrater Academy. They protect the students in the shadow so that no one in their students would lose their lives. These children were the cream of the crops of the Holy Alliance, after all.

They were only dispatched in special events like this because they are also the ones who protect the peace and order of the academy. The dispatch of these elite corps was a sign of how the academy was giving its student the utmost priority. After all, in this competition, the students had a high chance of getting hurt.

With his master's command, Kraftvoll's shadow familiar started in climbing the mountain with Kraftvoll at its back.

When the time for the fourth batch to enter the mountain as well, Kraftvoll commanded his shadow familiar to rush toward the upper part of the mountain.

A moment later, Kraftvoll's shadow familiar halted its movement. "What's the matter? Is there an enemy approaching? Be on your guard! I'll cast that seishin spell to know if there's an enemy nearby." he said after his shadow familiar halted.

In response to his master's command, the shadow familiar decided to continue its way upward the Mt. Verrater. While his shadow familiar was climbing the mountain, Kraftvoll decided to start chanting the Wind Scan seishin spell again.

He chanted, "Oh ye who represents the breath of the world, give me the ability to feel the world, Wind Scan!" Green seishin essences started to gather around Kraftvoll when he started chanting. 

After he finished conjuring that seishin spell, he managed to detect someone in one of the trees near him. 'There's someone on that tree! And based on the disturbance on the air, he's casting a seishin spell!'

The moment he felt that someone, Kraftvoll jumped down from the back of his shadow familiar. At the same time, the person at the top of the tree shouted something, "Fireball!"

The person at the top of the tree targeted Kraftvoll which was on the back of his shadow familiar.

Fortunately, he was able to jump before it reached him. The hidden enemy's fire hit Kraftvoll's shadow familiar's head. That fireball seishin spell did not do much damage to Kraftvoll's shadow familiar. It immediately turned into its defensive position that was guarding his master.

Kraftvoll decided to cast a seishin spell to destroy the tree in which his ambusher climbed into. "I command thee, ye who constitute strength, tear asunder thy master's enemy, Fire burst!"

Red seishin essences started to gather around Kraftvoll when he started chanting. In the middle of his chant, those red seishin essences started to turn into a sliver of fire. Those particles of fires started to condense into a ball.

After its condensation, Kraftvoll launched a concentrated ball of toward the tree in which his target was hiding. When it hit the tree's trunk, it made a huge explosion.

The explosion caused by the Fire Burst seishin spell made a huge hole toward that tree's trunk. The tree fell because of that huge hole because the tree lost its foundation to be able to stand. The tree was scorched after it fell.
