Spirit Soul

After the three-week period had passed, the restrictions on the dome had been loosened.

As such, the young prodigies below the age of 20 were able to enter the center of the Sadorla forest.

Multiple quarrels and deaths had already broken out owing to the hostile behavior of many prodigies.

Yet, in order to maintain peace in the Sadorla forest, everyone who killed someone else outside the dome was severely punished.

This was something the three parties had agreed in unison.

After all, the chain reaction of every single prodigy killing the others to seek vengeance for the death of their friends would obliterate the entire new generation of the kingdoms!

Everyone was trying to strengthen their kingdom by procuring a mutated Licara flower seed, and other treasures, and not to weaken themselves by allowing their prodigies to die just like that.

Because of that, the situation around the dome had eased a little, even though the tension was still intense, and to the extent that it caused many citizens to feel as if they were suffocating.

Meanwhile, Kyle had used the last three weeks to support Arashi in reaching maturity before focusing on the paths that were supposed to help him cultivate at a much faster pace.

This worked only partially, and Kyle realized that it was not exactly worth his time.

Thus, rather than focusing for a few hours a day on cultivating, studying his potential opponents and undergoing strenuous combat training became his focus.

After a total of three weeks that were filled with hunting beasts, storing their Soul energy and nurturing Arashi, Kyle felt much stronger.

Arashi had reached the Mid Vitae stage, and his intel about the most dangerous Brawl participants that had been unveiled was also imprinted into his mind.

As such, Kyle was confident of entering the dome.

Nevertheless, he still waited for quite some time after the restrictions had been released.

While calmly waiting in front of the door, and wearing a filtering mask that covered his entire face, he protected himself from possible attacks of the Blood Nasga which he had seen.

From what he had figured out, the Nasga race would attempt to procure all items by killing everyone.

This should, at least, be their plan by releasing the blood mist their Elite could make use of.

Kyle was all too familiar with the Blood Nasga and he clearly recalled how much Gaby had to suffer owing to the aftermath of the Blood mist they released actively.

Because of that, Kyle wore the filtering mask that had an almost untraceable thin fiber covering the mask's eye area!

Thus, his eyes were well guarded owing to the filtering mask in addition to a full body suit that was ought to protect the rest of his body.

Only his head was not covered by the suit, but this area was protected by the mask he wore.

As such, the blood mist wouldn't affect him.

This was already great, but also something everyone else had paid attention to.

Yet, in the end, Kyle felt that he was the only one who wore a full-body suit, and used other means to protect himself.

It was weird that the other prodigies didn't have any great countermeasures against the likely appearance of the blood mist.

Nonetheless, this was not something Kyle should be bothered about.

He believed that they had other means to safeguard themselves, and even if they didn't, he should be glad about less competition.

With that in mind, Kyle was intently observing the situation inside the dome, while staying outside and wearing a robe to cover his full body suit.

As he was standing next to Sven, his unit of the Blazing Legion, Beatrice, and Yasmine, everyone stared inside the semi-translucent dome.

They were trying to figure out how the three parties were faring inside the dome.

Picking the perfect timing for Kyle to enter the dome was quite difficult because there were many smaller and larger groups of the different races that targeted the groups they could take out with minimal efforts.

In fact, it looked like everyone was hunting each other instead of focusing on procuring any kind of treasure.

However, this was kind of obvious because there was a twenty-four countdown before one could leave the dome.

In contrast, without any item, one could enter and leave the dome at will.

This meant that if someone felt threatened by a stronger party, they could simply leave while hoping for the stronger Cultivators of their own race to come to their rescue.

Using an advance and retreat tactic in order to kill the prodigies of other races, the vast majority of Cultivators were roaming through the outskirts of the dome.

They stayed close to the city walls in order to be protected, yet far enough to make it seem as if they weren't scared to fight others.

After observing the situation for an entire day from the outside, Kyle started to believe that the most powerful prodigies had been ordered to advance to the deepest part of the Sadorla Forest's center in order to procure the treasures.

Meanwhile, the others were ought to distract one another.

This distraction included killing those who would hinder their search of the treasure which was clearly another mission the higher ups of their race had told them to do.

Even if one was unable to procure treasures, using the Brawl as an excuse to kill the prodigies of the other races was a decent opportunity to finish off their competition.

However, each of the three parties knew of this opportunity, and all of them were applying for it.

Yet, the way in which the Nasga focused on the treasures while attempting to weaken every other race with the blood mist that permeated the air within the dome came in as a surprise for several opponents.

Their teamwork was on a completely different level than that of everyone else.

It looked almost as if they were one cohesive unit moving together in order to obliterate the opponents that were in their way before a handful of them gathered all treasures, and evenly distributed them amongst the Nasga.

Through this, they would have to wait only a single day before emerging out of the dome.

Moving together as one large army, while making use of the information they had been provided, the Nasga race seemed to be the most likely winner of the Brawl.

However, their confidence in moving together was also what caused most casualties in their own rows.

After all, they had not expected the other two parties to install traps all over the Sadorla forest.

From what Kyle had perceived, the majority of the Sadorla forest's center had turned into a minefield.

As such, while moving around in a big group, the Nasga had triggered many mines, killing numerous Nasga with a single explosion as the mines blew up.

The first time might have been misfortune, but the second explosion could only be called coincidence.

Yet, the moment the third explosion occurred, they knew for good that something was going wrong.

It didn't take them long to realize what they had missed out on before, forcing the large Nasga groups to spread out.

Just as they spread out, several others from the two other parties decided to attack the  Nasga groups that were spreading out.

They were claiming all great treasures for themselves, which was something the other two parties wanted to prevent by all means.

As such, numerous small battlefields emerged with ten or more people fighting against each other in one battlefield.

While Kyle oberved everything as a bystander, the situation seemed to be reaching its climax as he and the others around him began to notice a loud commotion next to them.

Because Kyle, Beatrice and Yasmine were standing next to the Blazing Legion, there was no problem for them to stay near the other Lohars.

This allowed them to see the group of young Lohars that were walking next to a few groups of different demihuman races.

Attracting all the attention the Lohars ignored the gazes that lingered on them as they approached the dome with confidence.

Kyle didn't know the Lohars, but owing to his Nurture ability, he could clearly see the hues that enveloped them tightly.

'All of them are nobles with two awakened cultivation veins, and at least one affinity!'

Some of the Lohars even had a special trait, which caused Kyle to feel like the Lohars were going all in to procure the mutated Licara flower seed.

After all, if even one of the prodigies Kyle sighted were to die it would be a huge loss to the Lahin kingdom.

'Is it true that the Queen's potential has reached its limit?'

There was a rumor about the Queen and that she had been unable to breakthrough to the next stage for more than a Century.

Under normal circumstances, this was not exactly uncommon, but the issue was that the amount of resources she was said to have used to reach her goal should have been more than enough to help her breakthrough into the next stage.

This rumor gained more credibility at the sight of the prodigies that walked passed him with a unique presence around them.

Their confidence was not based on arrogance either, and Kyle knew that they were the strongest Lohars of the young generation.

Maybe a few were missing and only those who could be reached had been ordered to procure the mutated Licara flower seeds.

However, that didn't really matter.

After all, it was becoming obvious how serious the situation was and how valuable the opportunity of procuring the treasures inside the dome was to every single being.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the first parties' main force that was supposed to act as reinforcement for the other groups of the Lahin and Anadra kingdom was not where everything ended.

Rather, the severity of the situation seemed to unfold itself just at this moment as both the Nasga race's kingdoms and the Aldra race's kingdoms sent out their strongest Elite Units.

Initially, each party had wanted to hold back on sending out their strongest unit in order to prevent their needless deaths.

The possibility of their death was small, but it was not negligible, which made it more than dangerous enough to lose their strongest prodigies of the new generation.

Thus, they had been unwilling to send them out before the other parties did.

After all, if only one side would send out their strongest prodigies, it was obvious that they could kill everybody else and leave the dome by claiming all the treasures for themselves!

Witnessing a total of 100 of the most powerful prodigies entering the dome was an uncomfortable feeling.

Even more so for Kyle who understood that he would have to face them too.

Yet, instead of being overly anxious, he regained his composure, knowing that observation was the most important right now!

He didn't want to die, whcih was kind of obvious.

And knowing one's opponent up to the finest detail was the quintessence of everything!

As such, it was only after a few hours that Kyle noticed that the storm of the battlefields seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.

The holders of the treasures had changed, resetting the countdown of twenty-four hours in which the participants of the Brawl had to protect their treasure.

Given the situation, and the exhaustion everyone was feeling, it was finally time for Kyle to act.

Arashi emerged within his robe,, ready to fight with Kyle side-by-side, in order to fulfill their goal; to procure a single mutated Licara flower seed!

As such, Kyle approached the dome with confident steps, knowing that he was about to enter Hell.

It was only later that he would realize that the hell in front of him was incomparable to the things he was bound to encounter in the future, whether it was soon, or far ahead?
