While the crowd scrambled to leave, the esports players, except for Tamim, Faria, and Bloodstock's members, remained incapacitated.
Tamim observed his teammates unconscious and realized he couldn't use his powers under surveillance.
Faria took action, shattering all the cameras with her powers, declaring, "Now, we can teleport them to safety," as she teleported the players away.
In the vicinity, Tamim and Faria witnessed Nadim battling the malevolent soul user. Nadim's glowing sword clashed repeatedly with the foe, who wielded different soul forms, launching a fierce attack that Nadim deftly countered.
"Run!" Nadim urged Tamim and Faria, sensing imminent danger.
In an instant, a colossal soul energy attack was directed at Faria, but she skillfully blocked it, remaining unscathed. Simultaneously, another massive soul attack targeted Tamim, prompting him to teleport away to evade the assault.
Conjuring a barrier of soul energy, Nadim sealed the area, concealing it from view and preventing entry.
"You possess powers!" Rajib exclaimed in astonishment upon witnessing Tamim's abilities.
Nadim was perplexed, thoughts racing in his mind. "I'm truly confounded; I can't sense any soul power within them, yet they wield abilities. I'm unsure if they're good or bad," he pondered.
Observing Nadim's advanced thinking, the mysterious individual launched an attack. Nadim swiftly countered, assuming his soul monster form, extracting the soul layer of the assailant, rendering him unconscious. Nadim caught the fallen figure.
Addressing Tamim and Faria, Nadim inquired sternly, "Who are you? Are you allies or adversaries?"
"They're undoubtedly good. That guy is working for Bloodstock, not them," affirmed Nadia.
"You possess extraordinary abilities. I need an explanation, or I won't let you leave," Nadim demanded.
"What's happening here?" Tamim wondered, feeling bewildered by the unfolding events.
"We acquired these powers due to a mishap, but we lead regular lives," explained Faria.
"Aha, I understand," acknowledged Nadim.
"Hey, brother, release them. Oh wait, Neon, can I take a selfie with you? I'm your biggest fan," excitedly requested Nadia.
"Taking a photo might cause trouble," cautioned Rajib.
"Hey, both of you, whatever your names are, I'm letting you go. It's not a crime to have powers, and as you've done nothing wrong, I'll release you," Nadim concluded, deactivating the soul block barrier.
As Tamim and Faria stepped outside, they found themselves surrounded by a bustling crowd. Security personnel and police officers approached them, inquiring about their well-being and entry onto the field.
Fahim, who had regained consciousness, hurried over to Tamim and Faria, questioning, "How did you guys end up stuck inside?"
"Where are Riya, Rafi, and Samia?" Tamim inquired.
"They're alright, but I was concerned about you two, as you were the only ones trapped inside," Fahim responded.
"We were unconscious, and a soul sorcerer awakened us, so we came out. We're in the clear," defended Faria.
Through the microphone announcement, it was declared, "Due to unforeseen issues, this year's tournament will be postponed for a month. Moreover, Bloodstock Team is banned from the Bangladesh e-sports Council due to cheating allegations."
