Although I would love to study this whip or Caliban's golden shield, I believe I don't have time for it, even though Galelmar has disappeared Flora is leading the rest of her forces against us in one last attack. Aside from the white fire storm that will hit us, the rest of the warriors led by Flora are wounded and their equipment damaged to the point that during their first use they will break, if they didn't already have a good deal of their energy, they could not even be considered opponents, even led by a strong leader.
Without most mages to cover Flora's warriors I believe she will be forced to use spells on a large scale and this will deplete her mana and elemental energy. Without her the warriors who are already at the limit of her strength will fall, but unfortunately Flora can cause enough damage to hurt a good part of the warriors on my side and in close combat we'll only have Amael to defend the warriors.
Most defensive mages like Ingredi are out of energy and the offensive ones are still arriving here, only Amael opted to follow the warriors to this rubble pile. With Orion on his side, they were able to deal a big blow to the warriors who were coming out of the rubble, but this seems to have caused them to draw Flora's attention, she is already smiting at them with her squad.
My body is far from the limit, but if I have to face a strong enemy, I doubt I can do anything useful besides run away. Hilda and Vanessa have already gone towards Flora who is getting close to Amael and Orion, I decided to follow the example of Vonin and Sindri who are aiming at the warriors scattered in the rubble.
While I took down the wounded warriors, I still kept an eye on Flora's fight against Hilda, Vanessa, Amael and Orion their fight is in an unusual stalemate, Flora's attacks are blocked by Amael or dodged, but Vanessa, Hilda and Orion can't approach Flora who has been isolated, they retreat after trying to approach her.
Flora's attacks become much more aggressive and direct she is losing control and this caused her formation to break, the warriors following Flora moved away from her allowing my group to isolate Flora. The elven warriors have been trying to attack the dwarves that were attacking them, but because of their condition they are being subdued, they will soon lose all their remaining strength.
Surrounded by Flora ignites a circle of white fire that defended her from the weak attacks being fired at her as she fires several white fire balls and arrows in response to the attacks she is receiving. Her mana is running out quickly in this situation, I shifted my focus to try to find Soran, I haven't seen his aura since the wall collapsed.
I have a strange feeling that he's still going to try to gain some form of advantage to improve his grade during this exam, a lot of things that are foreign to a lot of hands and schemes on this test and that's wreaking havoc. I just hope the director is happy with this ending, as long as she is satisfied, I doubt that I will have to face too many problems.
It didn't take much longer for Flora to run out of mana and fall to her knees on the ground, mana out Flora and harmless the rest of the warriors didn't last much longer and most of them were neutralized. Our victory was achieved, but we were lucky to get it most mages are out of mana and the fighters are also close to the limit.
With the end of the fight, the matrix that still had its dark should start to lighten, but the examiners had a different plan, a heavy rain began to fall from theirs and wet all the students. They really are a bunch of idiots, why make it rain now? There must still be some students buried in the rubble, all this rain will make the earth become a motto and this will make it even more difficult to take out the injured students.
When I asked the warriors who still had the ability to move to help me move the wounded out of the mud, most of the students looked at me like I was a little crazy.
"The test is over! We won, but that was just a test. Are you really going to let the other students drown in the mud? Look at that elf, in the position he is in he will soon suffocate because of the puddle of water that is forming near his face."
"Ulric is right, start picking up the garbage."
Even though I appreciate Sindri's support, I still feel that he didn't quite understand my purpose here. Being the one who started helping and giving the order to help the wounded will improve my image, I doubt the gossips can reverse or distort this event when they gossip about this test.
I feel like I will have to try to be more aware of the rumors about me, if my fame got worse, I would be really screwed a much more negative fame than my current one I will be labeled a perverted murderer or maybe even something worse.
I started dragging the wounded warriors out of the rubble that was turning into a mound of mud, during the next half hour the wounded were taken to one of the walls that was still intact. Most of the mages were leaving the earth exhausted with the help of the warriors, most of the elf or human mages who were on the side of the elves only now freed themselves, even with an elemental shield protecting them in the fall most of them were injured by the fall, they suffered a lot to make their way to the surface in these conditions, there were only a couple who could have easily climbed out of the rubble, but the two earth element mages took a big blow when the wall fell on them.
When they both opened the way to the surface, they were transporting four warriors who were badly wounded by the fall of the wall, to my surprise one of them was Galelmar from the wound on his forehead, he must have suffered a nice blow to his head that erased him. This explains why he didn't show up after the wall fell, but in the state, he was in before the wall fell and it's pretty hard to believe that it was just a bunch of dirt and hard rocks that were able to bring him down.
On closer examination I could see that he had suffered a nasty cut on his forehead, this makes me believe that his wound was caused by another student, the fall of the Serbian wall only to allow him to be attacked by another student. Another face I had been looking for before also appeared, Soran appeared out of the rubble in his dirty armor, I only noticed his presence when he appeared near the wall of the fort when we were transporting the wounded.
He must have escaped the rubble long ago, but for some reason he didn't join the final fight. When most of the students were rescued, I noticed the group approaching the fort from the direction of the first wall that was knocked down.
Noel and his group of seven students arrived at the fort, he was met by a menacing look from the students who still had the ability to fight. Even though we had a bigger number than them most of the students are too tired to start a fight now, but that didn't stop them from having enough fighting spirit to prepare to fight again.
If Noel attacked, he would have to face a bunch of injured and tired students who won't give up until they pass out. After all the shit we've been through I don't believe both warriors and wizards are going to give up their victory by giving up before fighting Noel.
But to the surprise of the students who were expecting another battle, Noel raised his hands in surrender. Looks like he didn't come to fight or he doesn't want to risk a confrontation right now.
After Noel's team joined the protection of the wall their team members started helping the wounded, it seems he didn't really come to take advantage or he came with a goal like mine, to improve his image and maybe even gain a good advantage. of the injured students.
After the last student was pulled out of the rubble the rain stopped, the examiners really are a bunch of motherfuckers. A flag fell from his and stuck near the students, the flag opened revealing a text.
'The test is finished! All students who are present in this matrix, so congratulations on your performance in this exam was very good. The rest of the students who are still wandering through the maze are being displaced out of the maze. I am very happy to see that not one student died during the test and that I was able to see a demonstration of friendship after such an intense battle, the students who helped the other injured students will earn extra points.'
'Soon the examiners saw you take you out of this matrix.'
This was a somewhat anticlimactic ending.
