Legendary Architect of Apocalypse-Chapter 197: The Factions

"It must be true! There is no other reason for him to leave us alive." The children stood proudly, with their chest pumped up.

"Wait, I understand why he left us alive. We are from the founding families. But aren't there a few people here who are from trashy families with no backing?"

There was only one person who raised a question, casting a side glance at Elias. His question also made others turn to Elias.

"That's right. Isn't he from a commoner family? We didn't even bring him with us. He just followed us like an idiot. Why is he alive?"

"It must be because Elias thought he was with us. He must've confused him with another descendant."

"So this bastard simply got lucky, huh."

"His luck isn't bad. First he managed to enter the Academy, despite being a commoner. And now, he survived because he was confused with someone he's not?"

"That aside, wasn't Elias a bit too much of a monster? Is he really someone who awakened an Auxiliary Class? I didn't even see how he defeated us."

"He must have used another treasure. That bastard is just using the help from his family to dominate. If I start using my family's treasures, I won't be weak either. It's a pity that all the treasures that I brought with me were robbed by those pirates."

The group soon forget about the person whose identity Elias had taken. They shifted to talking, or rather insulting Elias who had defeated them, trying to feel better about their loss.

They left Elias behind, and stepped out of the building. They had already lost in this test, and they didn't even gain a single point. Despite that, they couldn't leave this place until the test was completed for everyone.

They simply wandered around the city, occasionally looking at the scores in the sky.

The first name in the scroll had almost stabilized. In the Creator Class, the first ranked name didn't surprise anyone. They already expected that person to dominate this test.

What truly surprised the people, was the ranks of the Destroyer Class.

In the initial phase, the top rank was dominated by Elias Ashborn. But now, he was already out of the top ten in his class rankings. His score had stopped increasing entirely, while the others kept increasing their score and rising above his name.

Many were curious about him, including those from the Creator Class. How could he rise so fast at the start, and then stop completely? Just what was that person doing? Had he already given up on the test?

The Professors were the only ones that didn't find it surprising, since they knew that Elias was caught inside the storm that was caused by his Soul Beast.

As long as he was inside the storm, he couldn't defeat any opponent, even though many of them had gathered around the storm.

In the initial phase, there were only two battlefields created between the students, which increased to more than ten as time went on. But now, there was only one battlefield for everyone who had survived until now.

Children from almost all battlefields had travelled to the frozen North, where all the chaotic essence of this world was moving.

It was their curiosity which led them there, as they thought that some kind of heavenly treasure was forming in this world. For that, they stopped their battles.

The children soon reached the storm, and many of them tried to enter it to see the so-called treasure. There was only one problem. No one could get past the storm, especially none of their beasts.

Their own class abilities were sealed, so they couldn't even use their special skills. In the end, they could only give up on the storm for now.

Almost every survivor in the test was present at the same place, and with nothing better to do, they turned this entire place into the last battlefield to increase their scores and put an end to this test.

Everyone was gathered here, and they didn't have to worry about searching for the opposite side. It also made solo battles impossible for many, and it eventually became a faction war.

The faction of the Creator Class was on one side, and the faction of the Destroyer Class on the other side. After rejecting the proposal of working together, eventually everyone was led to the same choice and this time they didn't reject it.

The first rankers of both sides led their factions, and each faction had people that were responsible for tactics to win without causing too many losses.

Even the people who had lost their Beasts, had arrived in the North, as this was the place where most action was taking place. Even if they had lost their Beasts, they still wanted to see the main battle unfolding with their own eyes.

Elias had also arrived, disguised as a person from the Creator Class.

"This should be the right place..." he mumbled, looking at the storm in the distance.

The camp of the Destroyer Faction was created in the east of the storm, and the Creator Faction had taken the area on the western side of the storm to establish their camps.

"Should I go crush the Destroyer Class right now? No, it would look a little off if I showed off the Flames of Ice Phoenix after hiding it for so long. I need to give the Professors a good show... A situation where I had no choice but to use it..."

Elias followed the group of people that were beaten by him. Even though he had heard their taunts repeatedly about following them like a coward even now,

he hadn't cared about them.

He followed the group, and went to the Campsite of the Creator Class, which was more affirming to his disguise.

Throughout the way, Elias kept thinking about the best way for him to create a situation where he could justify using the flames that he didn't use even when he had his Summoned Beast killed by 'Elias'.
