Once Uranus left the premises Isaac decided to show himself again. Since he was not actually eliminated in this round he left the enemy base leaving a trap in place. He assumed that this is where Xavier is heading with the flag so he placed multiple invisible strings all over the hill. The traps were so unnoticeable, no one would assume that he harmed anyone. The best thing about his trap is that none of the drones were present when he was setting up his strings. It was brought to his attention that the drones were somehow on his side. "Yesterday one drone announced that I was eliminated when I wasn't to throw off Team Even. Even if Uranus linked his vision with mine he can't read my thoughts. Using my eyes is not going to help him to see the traps placed since I didn't directly place them" thought Isaac. Isaac's invisible strings had a life of their own. They moved on their own accord to help Isaac achieve his objectives.
Minutes after setting up traps he hid behind the rubble left by the house. When Xavier arrived he was clueless about what was happening around him. Isaac watched him patiently, knowing that he was going to fall for the trap eventually. He managed to see glimpses of Fei from time to time while Xavier was walking. "Fei must be restarting his five minutes time limit when he does that," Isaac thought. He walked carelessly and tripped over one of Isaac's invisible strings. Xavier felt something but he couldn't see it. "What was that?" Xavier wondered. He looked around but didn't say a thing on the ground that could let him trip. Drones began to appear where Xavier was to spectate the area around him. They saw nothing disturbing so they continued to roam the island. "Hmm, those drones are definitely picking sides," thought Isaac. Xavier still had the flag in his hands even after tripping. "You know what they say. Second time's the charm".
Xavier tripped over one of Isaac's strings once again. This time he let go of the flag. This was the moment Isaac was waiting for. The moment where he could snatch the flag away. Before Xavier stood up Isaac sent a thread to reclaim his flag. Xavier watched how the flag leaped into the air and went behind the rubble. "What's going on?" Xavier said shockingly. He quickly chased after the flag to see it in Isaac's possession. "What are you doing? You are eliminated remember" said Xavier.
A drone flew down and stated, "No such thing happened. Isaac has been participating the whole time". In the private room, Gordon was starting to make complaints about the drones. "For over five minutes there hasn't been a drone at the enemy base until now. What are they doing out there? We can't depend on them in the last round," he said annoyed. "He's right. Xavier just said Isaac was eliminated. When did we ever announce that?" asked Melissa.
Isaac ran away with the flag leaving the Golden Circle suspicious of him. It is no secret that Isaac might have landed a trap for Xavier but since they did not witness him do it they made it slide. It is better to say King Almon wants everyone to ignore what they are thinking and enjoy the show. Isaac successfully retrieved his team's flag. He started to make his way to his home base. Meanwhile, Fei was tackling Max and Oden simultaneously. After many accelerations, Max got overconfident and charged at Fei. Fei did the same and anyone could have told the difference between the two. Fei's fist landed in Max's face long before Max could touch him. Fei knocked Max out cold after accelerating. "Disappointing. You have my gift but your knowledge on how to use it is lacking. Running around in circles only speeds up your footwork, nothing else. When I accelerate when spinning I was moving my whole body while doing it" Fei said. Max copying Fei's gift was no help in the end. Oden on the other hand was trouble. Every injury Fei did on Oden, he healed them with his marker. Fei rushed him with many blows to the face. Oden braced himself and took all of them. The two never stopped beating each other until Isaac arrived on the scene. Isaac revealed his brown threads for everyone to see. He was slightly wrapped around the threads. "You got here fast," Fei said surprisingly.
"You inspired me to use this thread. It enhances my physical attributes for two minutes. I doubt I can still keep up with you even like this" said Isaac. He tied Oden up with red threads without showing any sign of doing so. He handed Fei the flag and told him "Get this to our home base quickly. Let's win this already" he smiled. Fei gladly took the flag and ran off with it. When he was out of sight Isaac walked up to the tied-up Oden. "I can't break free" Oden complained.
"You look like the type that hates to kill. Good, that's very good. I am going to kill you now" said Isaac. With just a move of his finger, all the threads around Oden ripped him apart. "VILE BEAST!" Oden shouted in his last moments.
Uranus fell on his knees after witnessing the events that occur. Not only is Fei running with the flag, but Oden is also now a corpse in the forest. "So that's how it is. They are cheating. Isaac should have been eliminated" Uranus said angrily. While Fei ran to his base he spotted Uranus. Without a second thought, he kicked him in the crotch with all the force he built up with his running. Uranus fell on the ground unconscious after that but before he did he told Helius what happened telepathically. "I am so sorry Helius. I was played for a fool. Only if they didn't know my power in advance" thought Uranus. Once he fell unconscious Fei continued onward while the drones announced Uranus's elimination. The remaining participants were Isaac, Fei, Helius, Xavier, and Joey.
Helius stopped Fei's progression to Joey and warned him "Pass me and you will lose a limb".
"Big words. I am positive that I won't lose a limb" replied Fei. He blitzed past Helius like he was nothing and ran towards Joey shouting his name. "JOEY!" he shouted. Before he realized his left hand that was holding the flag was missing. Joey turned around and sighed. "You lost your hand dumbass". Helius got his flag back but did not run away. The other flag was so close to his reach he refuse to let things to be prolonged. "If only I could hurt that damn Roamer," he thought.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Fei screamed.
"First your eye and now your arm. You will definitely have to see Gordon after this" Sor stated.
"By the way, if you are interested I figured out that swordsman's gift. If he misses a slash, the target will still get hit, if he doesn't miss the slash his attack will be twice as strong every time" explained Sor.
"How does your watch know that? Plus it's talking, weird" said Helius curiously. He looked up at the drones and wondered "Why aren't the drones disqualifying Fei? He clearly has outside helped with that watch. Is it possible that they are ignoring it or are they unaware". Isaac was ready to land the final blow on Fei. Fei managed to dodge the stab he was about to receive and kicked Helius away.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Fei continued to scream. A hole popped up in Fei's chest. He was beginning to lose way more blood than before. "Are you deaf Fei!? Dodging his attacks will inflict wounds on you. It's best to block them" said SOR.
"With what? My bare hands" said Fei provoked. Isaac arrived on the scene once again along with Joey's clone. "Finally," Fei said relieved. Isaac was immediately intimidated by Helius's glare and said "You seem to be doing fine Fei. Keep up the good work while I leave".
"Don't screw with me. Hel-"
Fei was stabbed through his back by Helius. He fiercely pulled his sword out of him and glared at the other two. "FEI FONG, THE DEFENDER IS NOW ELIMINATED!" said the drones.
"Wow, is Fei dead?" Isaac said getting closer. Helius slashed Isaac in two. His torso was slashed from his lower body. "THE HELL! Was that necessary?" Isaac cried out. Threads quickly reattached Isaac's body before he lost too much blood. Helius's slashing speed is unrivaled to any other. Joey's clone tried to lift Fei off the ground but he was instantly murdered by Helius. "Leave him there. If he dies, that's fine" he said harshly. Isaac scratched his hair worriedly. "Yesterday you said you wanted to test out my red thread. Think it's time to do it don't you" said Isaac.
Helius felt his sword being pulled by something. He immediately guessed that it was Isaac's invisible threads and charged towards him. His thread appeared around his blade and snapped it in two. "Whoops! Looks like my threads can't be cut by your sword. Heh, deep down I kind of figured" said Isaac. Isaac wrapped Helius with his threads and sighed "Move and you die. I am the notorious leader of WDG, Wild Drug Gang. Whoever I fight never comes out alive but I am willing to give you an exception. Come join my gang. I could use a guy like you" said Isaac.
...…..
"If I decline I die right?" asked Helius.
"Yep, pretty much" replied Isaac.
"Then it's a no-brainer. Count me in" Helius responded. Helius's gift could only work with a blade and since he does not have any he is basically at Isaac's mercy. "King Almon knew what he was doing when he picked Isaac as a candidate for the Dragon Hunt. He is way stronger than he lets on if not compared to Victor" Helius said out loud. Isaac could not help but blush at his compliment. "You flatter me. Thanks" he said.
The second round ended with Isaac retrieving his flag and regrouping with Joey. Since Team Odd was the first to obtain both flags they were declared the winner.
"ALL PARTICIPANTS IN TEAM ODD HAS PASSED THE SECOND ROUND. WELL DONE!"
Gordon healed everyone to perfect health immediately as the round ended. Uranus and Cj had a private chat when the others were not looking. "Were the drones under your control? I won't tell on you if you tell me" said Uranus. "Yeah, you guessed right. I have around 60 drones under my control the entire time. That's how I controlled this round and tricked you the way I did" said Cj.
"That's pretty ugly of you. To fake Isaac's elimination like that. I hope that ugliness wins you the Dragon Potion" said Uranus. "Yeah, same here" Cj replied.
