Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 319  319

Back in the stands, a sudden silence prevailed following Leon's question.

The reason?

Black Demons...

An invasive alien species that wanted to spread its wings all over the dimensional places.

Everywhere they go, they bring forward a never-ending catastrophe. They feed the flesh and life force of others. On dying their bodies rot releasing miasma that taints everything, destroying the natural flora and fauna.

The place where they die becomes uninhabitable. It was also one of the primary reasons humans haven't been able to advance because, with repeated battles with them, the land ahead had been laid waste.

Black demons were the primary reason that enabled all the races to cooperate to take on them.

The bastards were quite sinister.

His Uncle Stephen's primary task was to stay ahead of the border to act as deterrence and serve as a warning to the upper echelons of Black Demons from stepping close to human domains as the higher the level of the black Demons the graver impact it had on being killed.

Out of everyone, only the Vampire race remains unaffected by miasma as it didn't harm or have any effects on the cause Vampires were also originating from darkness.

More than that, for some reason Black Demons rarely attack Vampire races that's why none of the races had any great relationship with those bloodsuckers.

"Leon, why are you asking about them all of a sudden," Su Lin asked in surprise.

"I am just curious," Leon answered with a smile but Su Lin noticed solemnity in Leon's eyes.

"Hmm! Whom are you kidding? Your curiosity is often the beginning of your monster acts."

Leon raised his hand and flicked Gwen's forehead.

"Ouch!"

"As expected of my sister, she knows me very well."Leon laughed and then stared at the screen.

His eyes weren't aimed at one performing well rather..

In his eyes, several figures with black blinking words echoed.

'With many protagonists appearing and nothing explosive happens? How is this possible?'

'System, you know what I want to know right?'

[Host, it needs 200 luck points.]

Leon took his smartwatch and the smartphone that only works inside Sectors and sent a message.

Then his eyes met with Argent whose expression became pale all of sudden as he took his phone.

Leon then looked at Gwen and Su Lin, "Girls, I need to go around a bit. You two just stay here and don't cause any trouble."

"What?"

"Where are you going?"

Both Su Lin and Gwen asked at the same time, making Leon chuckle.

Raising his finger over his mouth, he winked, "It's a secret ok..."

......

Meanwhile….

The forest thundered with the clash of swords, each strike resonating like a symphony.

 Ael pressed his relentless assault against Morbius with a large over-height black broadsword.

 With every clash, Morbius found himself yielding ground to Ael's unwavering onslaught.

The spectators watched in awe as Ael's blade descended upon Morbius like a tempest of steel. Each blow seemed to test the limits of Morbius' fight.

 He swirled his katana fast against Ael's onslaught deflecting the blows and then sent outwards that kept crashing all around.

The tree burst into splinter, pieces of boulders burst and beasts hiding around started running in fear.

Silence engulfed the arena, broken only by the echoing clang of metal upon metal resonating on the screen.

Every eye was fixed on the duel unfolding before them, captivated by the sheer intensity.

The commentators, too stunned to speak, could only watch as Ael and Morbius clashed.

At a glance, everyone felt that Morbius was getting pushed back because he had been defending against the barrage of onslaught thrown at him.

Despite the odds stacked against him, Morbius fought on.

He knew that one misstep could end him being crushed by the sword yet his lips curled upward as if he was enjoying the moment.

 With each strike, he sought to break through Morbius' defenses. His movements were fluid and precise, a testament to his years of training and experience.

As the battle raged on, two moved back and forth.

Shockwaves rippled through the air with each clash, sending dust and debris swirling into the sky.

 Each blow landed with the force of a thunderbolt, threatening to shatter bone and rend flesh.

But still, neither Ael nor Morbius yielded.

Beads of sweat formed on Ael's forehead.

His silver hair had become disheveled and blew in the air.

While others might think that he had an advantage but he could feel it.

These human skills were no inferior than his.

In a head-on collision, he was using the edge of his katana at the last moment to deflect the major chunk of power.

He was biding his time waiting for him to expose a gap and then fight back.

"You are a good human!"

"Thanks!"

Morbius chuckled and gave a brief nod after which aura started to condense on his katana.

"That's why you should fight me with everything you got."

"Su…SHIIT!"Ael expression faltered noticing Morbius's grim smile cause in excitation to express his words, he just gave the opening Morbius needed.

CLAAANG!

Outside the arena, the silence was finally broken by loud cheers. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Amidst the chaos, a voice broke through the silence. "I can't believe what I'm seeing," one man whispered, his voice trembling with excitement. "These two just graduated and are putting on a show unlike anything I've ever witnessed."

Others nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving the spectacle before him. "Indeed," he replied, his voice filled with awe. "Who would have thought that Morbius, with his recent development, would be able to hold his own against Ael, the undisputed powerhouse of the young generation of Elf?"

"From what I have heard, he is also highly proficient in archery but who would have thought that he would fight head on."

Just then, they show Morbius reversing the grip of his katana.

Then took his right step forward and bending forward he slashed.

A slash that seemed to cut and obliterate everything in its path.
