Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-----------‐-------
"Lets do this," E.E smiled as he arrived before the first river.
On the side of planet Ghundabault the opposition who looked similar to a human but around 3 feet tall in height stood in place with glowing red root like hair.
This was how all of the Ghundabaults looked.
"Irdin, don't disappointment us. Defeat that earthing," Their captain voiced from behind with a high pitched tone.
"You got it captain," irdin replied with a determined expression.
in the next instant the Anusa relic appeared in front of them and E.E wasted no time in reaching out to grab his.
Zzhziiiiinnnnn~
A bright glow encapsulated his figure and a few seconds later, a glowing violet colored shield materialised in his grasp.
"Wooahh my soul identifies as a shield? That's crazy," E.E yelled in excitement as he turned around while holding up the glowing shield.
"Gus see this! It's a shield haha its a shield," E.E waved it in the air causing the others behind to facepalm.
"What is he doing?" Matilda chuckled while voicing out.
"Isn't he a little too excited for getting a shield? It's a difficult weapon to use in this situation," Teemee stated.
"E.E will always be E.E," Falco shrugged.
"Just as mentioned... the weapon isn't what matters, the wielder is," Aildris reminded.
"The Ghundabault has a better weapon," Ria said while pointing at the other side.
"A large weapon for such a small creature," Teemee pointed out.
"It definitely looks powerful," Falco said with an amused expression.
"The Ghundabaults are in no way weak but E.E isn't losing," Gustav stated confidently.
Everyone looked forward in response to that as the bout began.
Irdin the Ghundabault who was holding onto what looked like a nine feet long glowing lance, began to float as a dreadful energy surrounded her.
Reaching a particular height in the air, she raised the weapon with both her hands. A red glow spread from her being to the tip of the lance like weapon.
"Kiiaaaaaaaa!" Her high pitched voice spread across the vicinity causing everyone to cover their ears in dissatisfaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the next instant she swung down forcefully, causing a sharp wave of energy to shoot downwards from the weapon.
Thwwiwiiiiii~ Boomm!
It sounded like an explosion went off as it slammed into the river and caused the entirety of the water inside it to blast in every direction.
The wave of energy traveled forward to the next river and pushed out the entire water body as well before dissipating.
Fwhwoooommm~
The spectators from earth who had just witnessed this was in awe as they watched the rivers rain from above like a storm.
The Ghundabault did not just split the rivers, she emptied them.
"That's an overkill," Fildhor voiced with wide eyes.
"I agree," Phinx responded.
Uwwhiii~
Teemee created a reddish spherical barrier that covered the whole group as the river poured from the sky like rain.
"Ouuu damnn shes good... she's really good," E.E praised as he watched her moving to the third river location.
"Hnph!" Irdin noticed E.E staring in her direction as she flew away and scoffed.
"Oh it's my turn now," E.E closed his eyes as he raised his shield.
The instant he opened them back, his irises emitted a violet glow.
Zhoonnn~ Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~Zhoonnn~
The spectators were awe stricken as violet colored vortexes began to open all around E.E.
In just a few seconds, over hundreds of them had opened up and unlike the usual vortexes he would conjure, these had suction force.
Winds had been stirred up as the air cracked from the multiple appearance of vortexes.
E.E tuened to bis left where a vortex twenty feet away had been conjured.
"Here," He voiced as he flung it towards the vortex.
Fwwhiiiiiiii~
It flew forward with intensity and soon disappeared into the vortex. At this point, E.E just moved back and let the course run itself.
Fwwhiii~
The shield soon reappeared from another vortex over three hundred feet away in the east sky.
It soon got sucked into another vortex not to far away and reappeared from another one.
Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~
The shield continously kept getting sucked into vortexes and reappearing from different ones hundred or thousands of feet away. Each time, the speed would increase and in a couple of seconds, it had become so fast it was now a blur.
The momentum kept building up, gathering waves of energy around it that caused the air to tremble.
The audience could barely follow it anymore as it cut through the air with intense speeds, spinning uncontrollably and leaving afterimages in it wake.
"This should be enough," E.E muttered as he turned around and snapped his fingers.
Fifty feet south of the first river, a vortex appeared. The shield which had just disappeared into another vortex suddenly reappeared from the one south of the river.
Thhhhrriiihhhhh~
It sounded like the air was getting ripped apart as it travelled forward with intensity, crossing more than five hundred thousand feet in an instant.
The reaction from the surroundings was not fast enough to keep up as the shield rolled over the surface of the first, second and third river as well as the land in between their midst in a second.
Immediately afterwards, the rivers blasted sideways as the bottom was quickly revealed and the land underneath cracked open.
Booooooommmm! Cryrrrkkkkhhh~
The jaws of half of the spectators who happened to be hooked on the earth's current performance had dropped to the ground after witnessing this.
Silence reigned for a few seconds before the sound of cheers reverberated across the arena.
The shield had completely split not only the first to fifth rivers but also totalled the surroundings as well.
A caved in massive split surrounded by cracks could be spotted where the rivers were initially located. It looked so deep from the spectators corner that they wondered just how much force the shield carried when it was released.
Zzhoooonn~
E.E stepped into a vortex and appeared right in front of the sixth river, going ahead of the Ghundabault who was still on the fourth.
"How did he do that?" Irdin had a shocked look upon seeing the surroundings. Even the river in front of her had sand spilled into it from the residue energy of the shield.
Zhoon~ Plaamm~
The shiled reappeared in E.E's hand as he prepared to perform the same action for the sixth river.
"That worked better than I expected," E.E mused as he began opening vortexes again.
...
Minutes later~
<<< Planet Earth 1 - 0 Planet Ghundabault >>>
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe spectators area was currently going bunkers after witnessing E.E splendid performance.
Irdin moved back to her teammates with a completely defeated look as one of the screens displayed the replay of how E.E had managed to split the ninth river.
E.E was the first participant to split the ninth river. Although he didn't split it completely, the quarter he split was counted since no one even managed to successfully split it even a little bit.
Irdin hadn't managed to even successfully split the eight river, talk more of reaching the ninth. Her stopping point had been the seventh.
"Don't be disheartened Irdin... not even i could have managed to win against him," Their captain voiced.
"Captain Shumi weeehhh~" Irdin began crying glowing tears as she fell into her captain's embrace.
"It's okay," Their captain who was also a female with a broader body patted Irdin back repeatedly.
"That must have been their strongest teammate... they definitely won't be able to repeat that," Captain Shumi's face turned determined while the other teammates had firerd up looks.
On earth's side...
"Good job E.E,"
"Nice one,"
"I knew you could do it man,"
"Don't lie, you didn't haha,"
Everyone either gave E.E a high five or a fist bump. When E.E arrived in front of Elevora she raised a fist while he raised a high five which caused a little awkwardness.
"Haha..." They both chuckled as Elevora blushed a little.
"Good job," She said to him.
"It was nothing, I'm sure you will do better," He replied.
"You have too much faith in me," She voiced once more.
Pah!
Before E.E could reply, Gustav tapped him from behind.
"Oh were you two..." Gustav realised he just interrupted something.
"Oh no no nothing like that,"
"I didn't say nothing though," Gustav raised his arms with a clueless look.
"You mf," E.E chuckled as he grabbed Gustav's head playfully.
After a minute, it was time to send the next participant.
"Am I going next?" Teemee questioned as he stepped forward.
"No. You will lose if you go against that person," Gustav stated while staring at the next representative the Ghundabaults had chosen.
"Why? There's no way I would lose to that..." Teemee was about to retort when Gustav replied.
"Two reasons... bad match up and that's their captain," Gustav replied.
