Omega Summoner

With the end of the next presentation, the event took a 20-minute intermission in order to give a brief rest to the players and the audience. The projections flashed the five teams that will battle it out in the semifinals. Since the number is an odd number, one team will not have to battle and head to the next round.

In order to make things fair, another ballot draw is done by the five to see who will be the one excused from this fight. The ballot is not done via machine generated ballots but with actual ones in order to be sure that no foul play would be done. In the end, the country that is safe from this elimination round is Sweden.

First match: United Kingdom Versus Philippines

Second Match: China Versus South Korea

No match: Sweden

The match between the United Kingdom national team and the Philippine national team is a sight that everyone wanted to replay again and again. The solo match is between Pendragon and Apolaki which became a fight between two unique swordsmen. In the end, Pendragon won because he used a skill that turned his eyes to that of a dragon’s and proceeded to overpower Apolaki within a span of thirty seconds.

The team fight could only be described as grand because the team fight is a spectacle due to Merlin’s spell casting. Dupe’s traps became useless as she became the target the moment the match started. Merlin used a spell that sealed all the mana in the area for a few seconds while Siegfried destroyed Dupe who could not cast any traps since she is reliant on mana.

Merlin also sealed herself with her spell as she would also lose the ability to use mana, but her team members are different. Dupe died and used her special trap called Last Resort that almost eliminated Siegfried. Since the Last Resort trap used her life force instead of mana, she is able to at least damage her opponent before getting eliminated.

In the end, only Apolaki is left in their team while only Tristan and Galahad were eliminated. Even with Apolaki’s Godly Spirit Sword: Bathala, he could not easily defeat the other team that is tailor made for battling in small spaces. They also lost their luck in the coin toss as the enemy team chose the stadium battleground.

The match between China and South Korea went on for three battles. The first solo match is between Ain and Hou Yiwei. Needless to say, a newly born Martial Sage is vastly weaker than a Dragonoid which is why Ain lost but he did put up a good fight. He even managed to discover where Hou Yiwei’s reverse scale is which led them the win in the team match.

The team match could be said as the battle of the titans as Hou Yiwei did not waste any energy and immediatelty turned himself into a dragon and laid waste to the enemy team. That would have been true if not for Creepysoo’s ability that he kept until this point and that is the summon skill called ‘Ruler of the Undead’. .

Creepysoo literally summoned the Undead King in the battlefield which not only made the jaws of the audience drop but also all the players. He actually summoned an NPC that could be labeled as a demigod in a fight between low level beings.

Creepysoo defeated Hou Yiwei in his dragon form by utilizing the knowledge that Ain collected. The Undead King struck the reverse scale of the Dragon Hou Yiwei which defeated him in one powerful attack called Death God’s Sword.

The last solo match for their match is between Jiang and Creepysoo. Needless to say, Creepysoo won but Jiang did his best despite knowing that he had a small chance of winning. Creepysoo’s undead knights could be said as a cheat against solo matches, but he does need to continuously supply them with mana unlike soulbounds. All of the skills of his undead knights are also channeled from his mana pool.

Since the next round after this one is also an odd number, an additional rule is given by the event team. Teams that lost will be able to get a chance to participate in the finals, but they must win a battle royal. As expected of the results of the battle royale, the Chinese National Team won and got to participate once again in the finals.

But as if fate is not kind against them, the next ballot came they were matched again with the South Korean national team. They lost the team match once again even if they decided to switch tactics and focus on Creepysoo instead of his undead knights. They cannot believe that an undead like him is so difficult to kill even if he is already considered dead.

The Undead King showed up once again and swept the match like a natural disaster. The audience thought that Hou Yiwei was unfair due to his dragon transformation, but they even saw someone that literally could summon an NPC that can decimate anyone in the competition. What is worse is that Creepysoo would summon the Undead King when only three of the enemies remain to make sure that his father would not be hindered.

“I am starting to get scared that Adrian managed to beat that brat even with the Undead King’s help.” Marlon stated as he was not there when the two did their practice match.

“I am pretty sure that Kyungsoo did not summon the Undead King during their match as he surely wanted to test his capabilities.” Jade stated but something is prickling the back of her mind saying that she does not believe her own statement.

“Knowing that brat’s mentality, he would have surely done that. He does not look like it, but that kid loos up to Adrian and you know how sly he can be when he needs to. I just like to believe that is not true so that I can still have some of my sanity..” Marlon stated as the next match started.
