Chapter 592: Too late...
Elizabeth let out a dry chuckle as she glanced at the massive array above her, brimming with countless unfamiliar symbols. In that moment, she remembered the words she had spoken when she saw the silver-haired man drawing strange symbols all across the arena.
"What's the worst that can happen, huh? This darn situation is the worst that can happen, you fool!!"
She wanted to beat her past self, but now wasn't the time for regret. As the many array masters and Old Hal swiftly advanced towards the colossal array in the sky to destroy it, her sharp gaze shifted to the floating platforms below to locate the silver-haired individual. However, she was utterly shocked when she saw the situation below.
After the many illusionary figures overseeing the arena vanished into lights, the fighters on the hovering stages ceased their battles and began floating mid-air.
The people in the audience also started vacating their seats, filling the space below her with countless floating figures, anxious to understand what was happening.
Wesley, Ronan, Oldeus, and many supreme-rank individuals in the audience had also swiftly ascended to the sky to grasp the situation and ensure the safety of the people they had brought to the arena. The individuals from the dark side had begun launching attacks on others now that the illusionary figures no longer stopped them.
An angry expression crossed Elizabeth's face as she scanned the area for the man who held the nature's favorite title.
"Damn it! I'm gonna beat him up so thoroughly that he won't ever dare to draw a single symbol again, let alone cause such a huge commotion!"
Amidst the chaos happening throughout the Gladiator Arena, Alec, Carcel, Nine, all their friends, and the three old men with the group, who knew what was going on, were a lot calmer than the others.
Alec and those battling on the hovering stages swiftly defeated their opponents and began awaiting Kyle's signal.
Nevertheless, they all found it unbelievable that Kyle alone designed such a huge array. He even placed so many fake symbols to distract the powerful individuals.
Nine plunged his sword into the stage and cast a quick look at the individuals from the dark side who had started attacking. He sensed a looming confrontation about to unfold. Scanning the area to find Kyle, he muttered under his breath.
"Hurry up, the array is ready, now activate it. What are you doing? I thought it was just us going to be fighting."
He wasn't the only one waiting for Kyle to activate the array. Alec and the others were too. In that moment, Elizabeth found the silver-haired man, sitting on one of the stages, looking calm and collected amidst all the chaos around him.
"You little freak!!"
Her enraged voice thundered across the entire arena as she disappeared towards Kyle. If she wanted to swiftly end it all and restore peace to the arena, she needed to catch the culprit first!
Ceano, Will, Old Hal, and the other robed figures were drawn to her sudden outburst and followed her disappearing figure with their eyes to see where she was headed, only to spot a familiar face seated in the direction she was moving.
Almost everyone in the Arena heard her sudden shout, and immediately, all the supreme rank individuals in the arena who could somewhat see her fast figure shifted their eyes to the lone silver-haired man.
Alec, Nine, and the others waiting for Kyle to activate the array all freaked out when they heard the woman's sudden shout.
They couldn't see her due to her fast movements but they knew she just shouted at Kyle and was rushing towards him! They all frantically began searching for Kyle in the crowd with worried expressions.
Ceano eyed the silver-haired man and then shifted his gaze to the array before swiftly moving up to obliterate it. It didn't matter that Elizabeth was a strong enemy he wanted to kill. Right now, he understood that if no one took down the array, not only the people within the arena but he too would face the consequences. Also, he had a hunch that the silver-haired human would target him and Will first because he clearly held no grudge against the others. Will who was confused and angered by the situation, quickly disappeared behind him.
Elizabeth reached Kyle and extended her hand toward him with a solemn expression. However, her eyes widened when he tilted his head with a speed almost equivalent to hers. A faint smirk appeared on his face.
"Too late..."
Kyle murmured and placed his hand beneath his chin to watch the woman rushing toward him, displaying a myriad of emotions on her face. Shock, disbelief, bewilderment - but all of these transformed into a loud shout when numerous chains made of spiritual energy emerged from the ground beneath her and with a speed that was even higher than hers quickly wrapped around her body tightly.
All those watching were stunned as Elizabeth's figure crashed to the ground. She tried to break the chains, but after a few seconds, she shouted in frustration because she realized she couldn't. She glared at Kyle with angry eyes.
"You-!"
She wanted to curse but paused when she saw the gaze he directed towards her. It was nonchalant, devoid of any emotions. Kyle retracted his gaze and finally stood up from his spot. He started floating, and the moment he did, familiar chains that had just held Elizabeth emerged from the ground throughout the whole Arena to bind all those present in the Arena.
In an instant, all the floating figures started to crash into the ground. Nine, Alec, and the others who were waiting for him to activate the array sighed with relief when they saw the silver-haired man unharmed.
Nine raised his weapon and called out Kyle's name, but his voice was drowned within the many voices around him.
"Damn, finally! It's time for us to eliminate the shadow generals!"
His eyes gleamed with excitement, but he blinked with a blank expression as similar chains made from spiritual energy emerged from the ground below him to ensnare him just like everyone else.
"What the funkin' hell...?"
