The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 104: winner loser

The battlefield shook from the impact and vibrations, as the 5 cadets utilized all their strength, skill, and experience in the last effort at victory.

World dominator showed why he was the captain, as he spearheaded his teams offensive bravely. His 2 teammates supported his offensive from both flanks, increasing the pressure their opponents felt.

The effectiveness at which Clarks small remaining team of 2 fought, showed that the A.Is evaluation about their teamwork was not without basis.

Despite fighting in a disadvantaged battle against 3 strong opponents, and one of them being the dreaded World dominator. They showed why they received such huge evaluations in their team effectiveness.

Both gladiators fought impeccably like a well-oiled machine, as their silhouettes flashed in and out of their small battlefield with speed. Clark felt overwhelmed with fatigue, but he never once thought of stopping to rest as his spear left afterimages behind swiftly.

Team Microsoft empire kept on being surprised again and again by their opponents, before finally feeling astonished.

World dominators world view was completely upturned, so there was this type of strength that can be achieved between gladiators. Teamwork, what a creative piece forged from battle awareness.

Despite them inflicting more injuries on their opponents, he knew that their opponents were getting more familiar with fighting in sync together. As they now received fewer injuries, while inflicting more injuries on them.

The spectators were completely silent, as they watched this battle of 5 gladiators drag on for another 30 minutes. The atmosphere was strangely tense and offensive, as sounds of weapons colliding kept on ringing.

As soon as Jian Wushaung started feeling dizzy, he knew that his time in this battle was drawing nearer to the end. He was not Clark; he knew his limits and maximum load. He quickly decided to make a last attempt at victory for his teammate.

Clark, the 3-man combo, he announced as he suddenly launched himself forward at the Silent assassin.

Bam!! Bam!! The Silent assassin leaped backward from the unexpected maneuver of his opponent, but he still attacked as he quickly clashed with his opponent.

Clark understood what his teammate meant by the 3-man combo, as this was their planned last attempt at victory if the situation went beyond their control. They hoped for things not to reach this point, but every day was not Christmas.

He wanted to sigh, but he removed any unnecessary thoughts from his head as he quickly leaped forwards to back up his already advancing teammate.

According to their predictions, if things took a sharp downward trajectory, both of them would be the most likely last survivors as they could endure fatigue more.

Fortunately, everything played to their predictions, as they were the only ones that were versatile enough to practice this last strategy they adopted. Clarks veins started protruding out, as he suddenly threw his spear forward to his teammates position.

Boom!! Bam!! Bam!! The sound was like rolling thunder, as the spear flew forward, fiercely breaking the sound barrier. The surface of the spear quickly grew red, as white mist, like steam started rising out of its surface due to the huge friction resistance from its speedy advance.

The Silent assassin was startled, as he didnt expect one of their opponents to abandon his weapon. The only thing he could see was red, as he hastily raised his 2 daggers to block.

Boom!! Ahhh!! He quickly shouted in pain, as his abdomen grew extremely hot from the impact of his opponents spear. The burning sensation and the impact brought him unimaginable pain, as his face visibly distorted, while he gritted his teeth to better endure.

Despite the pain he felt, he still reacted fast like the professional he was, as he quickly caught his 2 free-falling daggers.

Unfortunately for this guy, Jian Wushaung was already standing with him. He grabbed the spear and ruthlessly pulled it out from his abdomen. Blood poured down like a fountain of red water, as he quickly attacked with both weapons.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! His opponent wanted to react, but he was even faster as he struck out with both the spear he just caught and his sword. His opponents slowly rising hand could only drop back powerlessly, as all strength left his body while his dagger slipped down.

During these few seconds, he was able to fight with 2 weapons and perfectly kill his opponent with them.

This was the plan they made; make the fight chaotic by making unconventional decisions. Nobody expected them to decide for one of them to suddenly relinquish his weapon for the other.

World dominator and his teammate finally arrived, with shock written all over their faces. At the moment Jian Wushaung launched himself at their teammate, they already started rushing over.

But, not even in their wildest dreams would they have thought that their teammate could be killed in such a short time frame.

They were shocked, but this did not slow them down, as they vented their rage on the now exhausted Jian Wushaung. His previous burst of power looked heroic, yes, but the energy he expended for it was far beyond his current load.

His eyes gradually became clouded over, as his vision grew hazy. Clark, I did my best. The rest is up to you, he muttered softly, as he tried to gather more strength.

Ahhh!! He suddenly screamed as he advanced to parry his opponents strikes that were already flying at him.

Ptui!! Ptui!! His screaming hardly made an impact, as holes quickly emerged all over his body, making his current appearance similar to that of a sieve. It was a virtual battle, but the pain he was currently experiencing brought tears out of his eyes, as he gasped for breath.

As blood gushed out of him, he still remembered his last assignment. He quickly threw both his weapons up, as a certain someone, already mid-air quickly caught both weapons.

World dominator wanted to prevent the weapons from flying out, but he was slower by some seconds, as Clark firmly grabbed both weapons. He dived down at his 2 opponents, as he started executing both his battle art and his self-created technique.

During his teams week of the demonic training schedule, he finally succeeded in getting a breakthrough in strength.

The breakthrough was not to a higher rank, but he could now use his self-created technique with another weapon, and he could also now use it when wielding 2 weapons.

On seeing his teammate catch the weapons, Jian Wushaungs consciousness finally faded from the virtual arena.

Boom!! Boom!! As Clark descended imperiously with both weapons, his opponents hastily blocked. But the huge momentum from his strike pushed one backward, while the other was directly slammed to the metal floor.

He completely ignored World dominator that was trying to stabilize himself by getting more distance between them, as he attacked his still dizzy opponent that was on the floor.

From the initial strike, the Black mamba completely lost the opportunity to retaliate, as his spear handle was broken into pieces. His head felt so heavy, as he could not see any other thing but floating stars.

Before he could recover, he suddenly felt excruciating pain, like a scientist was dissecting his body into pieces for an experiment.

Clark did a thorough job, as he struck forward with both his spear and the sword. He stabbed and cut at his opponent rapidly, from his legs to his forehead in seconds. He quickly turned around as his opponents figure became only a puddle of blood and flesh.

World dominator was fast to react, as he turned back after knowing his opponents intention. He was angry, but he could not help but be intimidated by his opponents strategy.

The chaotic and rapidly changing battle succeeded in disrupting his flow, which resulted in him losing his 2 teammates. He could only thank God that only 1 opponent was remaining for him to fight also.

Before his opponent completely turned around, he already arrived as his sword cut a deep wound across his ribs. Clark gasped in pain, as he retaliated back with speed. There was no place to retreat to again, the battle was ending here.

Bam!! Bam!! Bam!! Both gladiators unleashed their greatest strength and technique at each other, as they quickly got lost in the battles rhythm.

Arthur, Emily, and Aurora already recovered from their mental exhaustion. They could only watch, hoping for a miracle, as their vice-captain fought for a spot in the finals for them.

Clark could no longer count how many injuries he accumulated, nor could he count how many he inflicted on his opponent. Today was probably the day he most exerted himself, as his breathing was already so heavy like that of an asthma patient.

As he fought, the feeling of weakness kept on coming strong, as exhaustion kept on trying to break his last defense, even fiercer than his opponent did.

He finally decided to end the battle. If he continued, he could no longer guarantee if his consciousness would recover from the exhaustion.

Clang!! Boom!! As soon as he blocked his opponents next strike, he stabbed forward with both his weapons, as he exerted his maximum strength behind it to make it harder for his opponent to evade.

World dominator was not caught off guard, as he evaded swiftly. He swiftly retaliated, as his sword slashed at his opponents throat.

Clark gathered force in his legs, as he stumped the ground with force. He launched himself upwards from the force he gathered, as he threw his sword at his opponent while grabbing his spear tighter for a decisive downwards stab.

World dominator reacted fast, but his opponents thrown sword still cut his face, giving him a new scar at the corner of his eye. He also knew this was the decisive moment, as he closed his bloody eye while maintaining focus with his other clear eye.

Clark dived back down, after reaching a height that satisfied him. With the help of gravity, his figure moved very fast as his spear struck directly at his opponents position. He would have opted to use his self-created technique, but he was too exhausted to execute it.

Clang!! Ptui!! The sound of weapons colliding rang first, before that of metal digging into flesh followed. All the spectators held their breaths, as everyone guessed who emerged as the winner.

Awwn!! Clark suddenly grunted as blood poured out of his mouth. His hazy eyes could no longer concentrate, as it took him some effort to look at his opponent. Seeing the grin on his opponents face, he immediately knew that he fell for his opponents calculations.

Indeed, the World dominator calculated the whole scenario. He was still astounded by his opponents strength, even though his plan had worked.

At the last moments of the battle, when he saw how desperate his opponent was to end the battle. He purposely planned and created an opening for his opponent to exploit. In the end, Clark took the bait as he was too exhausted to look deeply.

Knowing how resilient his opponent was to damage, the World dominator aimed at his heart as he dived down. He succeeded, as he destroyed his opponents last lifeline.

I have to admit, you are strong. But remember this, I am the strongest high-grade soldier of my rank. He muttered into Clarks ear, as he drove his sword deeper into his flesh.

I didnt come for the reward given here; I came for the experience. I derived a lot of pleasure from our battle. So, a piece of advice for you. Find a way to not participate in the individual tournament final, I will not show mercy. He paused a little, as he looked at his opponents eye.

If you love your life, avoid me in a real physical battle.

As Clark finally heard all these, his consciousness could no longer support his stay here, as he disappeared from the arena. The disappointment from losing and the frustration for not living to his teammates expectations overwhelmed him, as he finally left there.

As soon as he disappeared, the winner of this battle was now verified. Cheers and shouts erupted around the stadium, as the commentator finally found his voice, chattering away excitedly.

10 minutes later, under this excitement-filled stadium, Clark finally woke up from his nutrition cabin as he came out to face his defeat.
