Chapter 149 - 17: Unintentionally !
The earth shook and the mountains trembled.
That was the simplest and most fitting description of the moment the trap was activated.
The entire bowl-like valley, the low mountains on two sides, and the flat ground in the middle, all trembled violently for quite some time.
Not long after the white light whisked Andriya Norman away, six more beams of white light descended from the sky in succession in the same spot.
Even though the six “Pure Blood Will” members were wearing the “Defender 3202” suits, their bodies couldn’t withstand the shock and vibration, despite avoiding the direct damage.
They were instantly determined by the academy as dead and eliminated from the competition.
Everyone who could see the Valley was stunned.
The commotion was truly astonishing.
Within just less than ten minutes, seven people had been successively killed and eliminated.
Who in the world was this ruthless murderer or team, indulging in their deadly hunting moments?
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the valley, eager to see who would emerge victorious.
They were too formidable to mess with!
A pit over three meters deep and more than twenty meters wide appeared again.
At the bottom of the pit, Tracey Lucia struggled to get up, blood seeping from the corners of her mouth, her expression agonized.
She had used the “Defender 3202” suit to withstand the direct damage, and a defensive necklace she had exchanged from the Family Treasure to guard against the indirect damage,
leaving her relatively unscathed.
However, she was dazed from the impact and couldn’t concentrate.
Tracey lay at the bottom of the deep pit. After struggling several times, she barely managed to stand up.
Upon standing, her legs wobbled, and she couldn’t keep her balance.
She swayed and tumbled.
“Hahaha, boom, boom, boom!”
From the first glance, Elise Clark deduced from the surveillance that the damage from the trap wouldn’t be enough to eliminate Tracey Lucia.
As she set off the trap and watched the earth-shattering explosion unfold,
Elise was ecstatic. She rushed out of the cave, laughing loudly and leaping into the air.
The excitement of bombing a durable target like Tracey, who doesn’t go down in one blast, outdoes any other feeling, doesn’t it?
Having such a resilient target, Elise was enthralled.
In the midst of her ascent, her left hand reached into her waist pouch and once again drew out a metallic tube resembling an RPG.
She propped it on her shoulder, aiming for the dizzy and disoriented Tracey.
“Hello there, Green Pond!”
The extensively modified Self-Destructing Fire Thunder carried Elise’s passionate greeting.
Tracey stumbled a few steps, fiercely trying to shake off the negative effects so she could dodge the impending aerial attack.
However, at this moment, Link stealthily reached the mouth of the valley.
Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, “Continuous Casting,” breakthrough level Thorn Entanglement, ten consecutive casts.
Straining to his maximum range, he barely managed to cast it successfully.
Hundreds of robust thorns, as thick as an adult’s arm, swarmed Tracey Lucia from all directions.
Their rapid manner mirrored the slithering of a giant python.
The “Defender 3202” suit, had it been in perfect condition, would naturally be able to brush off a mere Zero Ring Witchcraft.
Unfortunately, the suit at this point served only the most basic passive defense purpose.
It wasn’t capable of actively clearing the spiky thorns.
Tracey, still in a daze, was defenseless against the onslaught of thorns and was tightly bound.
In this tightly bound state, how could she dodge the reinforced Self- Destructing Fire Thunder?
A deafening boom echoed as the explosion ensued.
The numerous thorns were blown into shards from the blast, scattering across the area.
However, they managed to fulfill their duty by making Tracey take the brunt of the explosive damage and shockwave.
Tracey was blasted into the air, spinning several times, before she violently crashed back to the bottom of the pit.
After hitting the ground, her body rolled around uncontrollably several times before it finally came to a stop, dissipating the external force.
“Come on! Let’s have a blast!”
Seeing that Tracey was still somewhat okay, Elise became even more thrilled.
She hurtled down from the mid-air toward the pit, moving her pouch to her chest.
She pulled out several bundles of Self-Destructing Fire Thunders from her pouch, tossing them liberally toward the immobilized Tracey lying at the bottom of the pit.
“Crazy… Crazy woman!”
Witnessing this, Tracey realized that she was doomed this time.
How the hell did Link Grande dare to team up with this mad woman?
A slight slip, a miscalculation, and it was all over.
She didn’t plan on resisting anymore.
Just let it be.
She struggled to turn onto her back to face the explosions, buying herself some time.
She crossed her left hand over her chest and promptly tapped a few words on the digital watch given by the academy,
then selected the public channel and sent a message to all the first-year participants.
Just as the message was sent, not even 2 seconds later, another beam of white light descended from the sky.
Elise pulled out the “Keychain,” hesitated for a moment but didn’t throw the “Keychain” that somehow appeared in her hand.
Killing off Tracey Lucia might be exhilarating,
but she had enough sense to suppress her bloodthirsty impulse.
The Clark Family wasn’t ready to confront a Pure Blood Family head-on.
No matter what, the family had never wronged Elise.
She didn’t want to create enemies for her family through her reckless behavior. “Boring!”
Logic briefly prevailed before swiftly retreating.
Elise pouted, feeling ashamed of her earlier cowardice. She grumbled under her breath, circled around, and landed next to Link.
“Have we cleared everything?”
Elise asked with anticipation, “Is there anyone else left for me to blast?”
