Chapter 172 - The Match is about to get serious!

Seeing her taking the lead, I was surely way too tense because there was no way for me to win if I kept holdinig back because the people surely are now using more of their real powers, so surely I was getting pummeled in their pace and this death goddess was surely pushing everyone over their edges but some people surely were unaffected by her this chaotic nature, one was lucifer and other was an drunk guy with swords in his hands, seeing him, I was getting pretty strange feeliing because these two were and few other people were not even paying attention to death goddess, so I was sure that these people were one of those people whom I shouldn't mess with and the people's count was also dropped to mere 250 and the arena was barely even entact because the land was either torn apart or was left with nothing but dust but now the another announcement came, 'The participants who are left in the arena, final quarter of finale is about to start in fifteen minutes and rules are still same, only 100 participants will be moving onto next round, So to increase the fun in this round, great beings are allowed to use their 85% of their real strength, so only survivors will be able to move forward, So make sure to survive!" Hearing this announcement, the people who were struggling few moments before started laughing and started to release their massive energy while the named powerhouses, were still the same, trying their best to clear people around them in pretty composed manner but soon everything started to change, as that sword guy started to move and in just few moments he cleared five people who were surely more powerful than me and they were quite popular with people because people were insanely shocked on their falls, so I started to get goosebumps and I was now feeling insane pressure because I was thinking that surely these powerhouses won't be making move but I was clearly proved wrong because the moment that bastard announcer announced about giving them right to use their 85% of strength, they didn't waste a single moment to clear people around them not even lucifer was holding back, this creep didn't even move from their place from entire round and now he was clearing people, as if they were made up of butter or sand. Seeing these people like this, I became sure that now I have to work together with the ice goddess; I surely won't be surviving this match. So using my dark spirit and earth spirit, I slipped to her side and saw that she was also pretty exhausted, but still she was insanely powerful. So I was feeling a bit relieved that at least she was on my side, so I greeted her and said, "Guess I can't survive this unless we come together, right?" Hearing my words, she smiled and spoke, "Well, surely someone came crawling back pretty fast, but I guess I can't blame a creep like you, right? But fine, ok, so how are you planning on surviving, as this round surely is still pretty far from over?" Hearing her words, I smiled and spoke, "Well, we don't have to defeat them to win, so we can just hang on to our places while they all fight and kill themselves, while we will be qualifying in 100 participants, pretty easily, so how about I use my spirits to create a trap and you can use your ice element to create a wall-like thing while I will be making sure that nobody could manage to pierce that wall!" Hearing my words, she thought for some time and spoke, 'Nah, a wall won't do. How about I show something special from my planet, my real power of an ice goddess? you will love it and your traps could make it purely impenetrable.' So let me show you the specialty of Ice Goddess, "The World of Ice." After she said that, she took a deep breath, and the aura from her started to radiate while coldness started to increase countless times. The cracks in the floor started to freeze in less than a moment, and this time it wasn't just around the arena; it was as if the entire world had become ice. I was feeling insanely chill even after using my cultivation or my powers, but still the freezing was truly out of this world. Seeing this change, the powerhouses started to grin, and Monkey King and that sword guy spoke in unison, "Guess the winter arrived quite early this time, and even the Ice Goddess is taking charge. Guess I should also return the favor." Hearing these words from these two monsters, I surely didn't want to know what they were planning or how others are feeling because all I was feeling insane chill from many sides, one side is from Ice goddess, who became my woman after our previous match and the other chill I was feeling from the auras from these people who were surely fired up, seeing the intensity of Ice World and to think these people were using merely 85% of their real strengths, the Lucifer, gave a grin and released his darkish wings from his back and Wukong started to create multiple copies of himself and every copy was feeling same powerful as him, the sword guy unsheathed his swords while thor and others also started to get serious while releasing their status, well feeling it, I quickly hugged Ice goddess from behind while the storms of ice started to rise. Odin and others were enjoying the coldness of the battle because surely now only 150 people were remaining, and the lifting of restrictions surely made it more insane, and now it couldn't be said that either of these would even stop if they reached 100 players. So this was really tense while I was using my spirits to make sure to properly help her in maintaining her spell. Soon the people started charging at each other; the massive clash of powers started to rise. Thor was using his mythical electricity to strike anything in his path, while even Loki was barely hanging on while trying petty games, and the sword guy was fighting some people who were pretty skilled with magic and were casting quite high-level magic without even blinking. So I was feeling that surely such a fight could be said of Crystal League, but I got some info while fighting these people that the death in the arena will not give real death but rather a massive loss of wealth, and the people unable to afford the wealth loss will be charged to slavery and will be slaves until that person finds a way to cover the loss.
