The Endless System
Ch 81 — Urashia VS Harciest

A day passed, the third round would begin today.

The remaining participants return to the match. That included Cresil, without a sense of suspicion that his identity was exposed.

The arena became more crowded than yesterday, now almost the entire arena was filled with the sound of spectators. They cheered in support of their favorite participants.

At that moment Tohrei and the others had just entered. They were approached by someone.

“Oh! Found you! Thank you for your help yesterday. Yami, right?” The one who approached them was Harciest.

“We meet again. Didn't you say that yesterday?” Tohrei replied to Harciest and turned around.

“Ahaha, I just felt like I didn't thank you enough just once. By the way who is with you?” Harciest was quite curious about some of the masked and robed people beside Tohrei.

Tohrei himself also wears a robe, but he can be recognized by Harciest because Tohrei wears the mask he wore yesterday. That made Tohrei recognizable to Harciest.

“They are my colleagues, they are also in this tournament.” Answer Tohrei.

“What does that mean they are as strong as you? Wow this match will be more difficult means.” Harciest felt that his chance to become champion one was getting more and more difficult.

Harciest had previously not known participants like them, it was because he had not paid any attention to the other participants before.

“Yah you could say they are indeed very strong.” They were happy when praised by Tohrei. With the mask off, they look happy.

“That means I have to be careful. But I will not give up in this tournament!” Harciest did not give up immediately even though he knew his opponent would be very strong.

“Haha, I praise your spirit Harciest, I'll wait for you in the next game. But I think we should go in soon, the game will start soon.”

“Yes! I can't wait to wait for this! That's because I'm the first to compete.” Harciest was excited in the third round.

They entered immediately, before long the third round of the tournament began. The player from the first match is called.

They are Harciest and Urashia. Harciest is somewhat surprised to learn that his opponent turns out to be a colleague from Tohrei. Previously he only knew the name of his opponent.

‘Eh? Isn't he Tohrei's partner? Just started the match and my opponent is a strong person, this is so challenging!’ Inner Harciest with a wide smile.

Urashia with a robe also wore a mask. The mask he wore was in the shape of a wild bear's head.

“Are you ready? First match starts!” The jury waved him from top to bottom. He stated the start of the match.

Urashia confidently attacked first. An axe that was twice the size of his body appeared in his hand. Urashia skillfully swung the axe towards her opponent.

Harciest was surprised by Urashia's sudden attack, as a result of which he did not have time to make a strong protection and was only able to coat his hands cross-positioned just above his head to withstand Urashia's attack.

The attack from Urashia was so powerful, Harciest instantly crashed several meters away as a result. It was fortunate that he was able to restrain his body from crashing too far, otherwise he had already hit the arena wall at this moment.

The new Harciest wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Urashia did not allow that. Urashia darted towards Harciest and gave the same attack but in succession.

The Harciest continued to enter the wall as it was hit by being driven by successive attacks from Urashia.

‘Sial! I can't sustain this defense continuously!’

‘!’

From the back of Urashia, a large magic circle was created. From the magic circle came hundreds of flying iron swords darting towards Urashia.

Urashia immediately jumped up to dodge. But the swords continued to chase after him as if programmed to continue attacking his target until it hit him.

Urashia did not constantly just dodge, she counterattacked those swords with her magic.

“!”

The earth magic trapped every sword that shot towards Urashia. Each sword was trapped in an extremely hard ball of earth, its hardness could exceed that of iron itself. The logical reason was because Urashia's magic was stronger than that spell.

Urashia then clenched her hands. The swords trapped in the ball of earth instantly shattered along with that ball of earth.

Meanwhile, Harciest manages to move while Urashia is preoccupied by her spell.

“Are you still busy with that?” Harciest casually said that while smiling towards Urashia.

“To be honest not if you look up.” Urashia speech after finishing serving the Harciest spell.

Harciest looked up to find out what Urashia meant. How surprised he was when he saw a large magic circle clearly above his head.

Spell Urashia was too fast, so instead of choosing to dodge then Harciest decided to hold her back.

Thousands of stones quickly shot out like rain from the magic circle. The attack lasted for a minute. During that time, no one could see the state of Harciest because the magic area was covered by the sand of the ground blowing fiercely.

“Kak Urashia great!” Cheers Ikumi from the audience bench.

“I admit he is great, but that kind of spell I don't think is enough.” Ifrit also praised Urashia while expressing her response.

“Harciest definitely hides other skills. When I tried to save him, I think he was trying to bring out his skill to Cresil.” Tohrei said with a faint smile on his face.

The duration of the Urashia spell ran out shortly thereafter. Unexpectedly, when the steaming sand had disappeared, the figure of the Harciest appeared to be fine. But there is something different about Harciest.

Harciest wears an armor that covers his neck to the tip of his foot. The armor is made of mithril.

“That was really troublesome, fortunately I just got this out in time.” Said Harciest who managed to resist the Urashia attack.

“Now I will be more serious!” Once out of there, a long sword was created in Harciest's hand. The sword is made of mithril.

Urashia wasn't too surprised by Harciest's state of being fine. In fact, he felt satisfied his opponent did not immediately lose.

“Forward!” Urashia smiled widely, her smile that looked like the smile Tohrei had when challenged.
