The mana hemisphere was enveloped in complete darkness for a few seconds, confusing the audience into dissatisfied uproar, but this darkness soon dissipated, and the sphere burst open a boom and waves of mana went in all direction, catching people off guard.
Vincent hooked up the corner of his lips with a triumphant smirk, "Well done.", he mouthed towards the vague black silhouette of an escaping warrior in the arena.
Meanwhile the rest of warrior, who also fell into that arena were still trying to reflexively regain their balance, the main culprit of this collapse had already left the grounds in the midst of chaos and all that was left behind, was a black shadow, which was originally a piece of his owner's shadow.
This shadow quietly placed itself at the corner of an entrance, near the foot of the giant warrior statue. and instantly it seemed to have blended with its darkness, waiting…
"What the f*ck just happened", Rena shouted with indignation, Vulcan kept a hand on her shoulder and glared at her to keep it quiet.
The rest of the warriors were also quite dissatisfied as they all looked at each other with alertness and then simultaneously, looked up towards the platform where Cordelia was currently clapping with fervent enthusiasm. The rest of the audience also collected themselves and blasted the cheering for the survivors of the game.
"What was magnificent display of skill and bravery, such a talented young generation, it really inspires your predecessor to improve themselves or the young people will soon leave them behind." Cordelia addressed the participants.
"It is now time for the result of this match." She signaled.
Suddenly, a giant holographic cube display lit up in all directions of the hall, marking the number of kills scored by each warrior. Many of these participants scored zero because at the beginning of the game, many warriors played as a group and most these parties ended up eliminating each other, even though later they had to quit the game on their own accord.
So, the rankings were followed up as, Rena and Vulcan tied for number four, Daphanie on the number three, Lucius was the runner up and the champion spot was covered by Remus Dunes.
The crowd was instantly confused by the name ranking for the top position and sound of ceaseless whispering boos echoed in the atmosphere…
One of them even angrily shouted, "who is Remus????"
"We don't except this result" a few voices instantly followed…
Vincent looked at the agitated crowd and knew why they were so jumbled, Remus played from the shadows throughout this match, and it was that final shot that scored him the greatest number of kills. He never showed his presence and took them all by surprise.
An important reason for this agitation was also that most of these people in the audience placed their bets on Lucius, but it seems they were going to lose quite miserably, but it is better for Vincent as he seems to have made quite a fortune from this match today.
And the other factor was the rumored prize for winning this game, A mysterious jewel from the other world.
