"Huh…. 2 more people just died." – said Phantasia as he was standing in the middle of the rotting swamp zone while in his humanoid form.
"…"
(The communication device isn't responding.) – thought Phantasia.
(Did both of them got eliminated? Or are they in the middle of combat?)
"…"
(Well, they can handle themselves.)
(Honestly, I have already more than enough on my plate.)
(If anything, the showcase I just did should had caught many people attention.)
(…)
(Still… I can't shake that feeling off.)
(Arthur was strong.)
(But he was nowhere near as strong as I've thought.)
(Did I midjudge his growth speed?)
(True, I did obtained a monster like growth speed….)
"…"
"Wait… Shit."
(I've forgotten that Arthur is no longer in any major faction right now and is instead hostile to each of them.)
(So even if he had money, securing any top tier equipment and class books will be extremely hard.)
(Especially class books.)
(Before it was easy to get them even when you were not part of any faction…. But currently it is hard to get on the regular market.)
(The faction markets are way more popular now and they are far more profitable.)
(Not only that, you also have access to the special factions' shops and missions, which are the best ways of obtaining class books or class specific quests.)
"…"
"Still…. What about that thing?"
(The {faith}.)
(There is no doubt about it now.)
(Arthur definitely has it.)
(So why is he so weak?)
(I've saw and heard of him apparently having somewhat decent fight with Magnus before….)
"…"
(Yeah…. This fight was really way too easy… I think his personal power growth got extremely slowed down after betraying the Organization.)
(….Still… I shouldn't let my guard down yet.)
(If he really has a {faith}, then I should watch out for anything.)
(I don't know what could possibly happens when his factions grows too much in size.)
(Once this tournament is over, I should considering hunting his ass.)
"…"
(And there is also Diamond…. By the looks of things, he couldn't put up a fight.)
(He was heavily injured from the start and I did kind of blasted him with the two dragon cannons at full power afterwords.)
(But still, I saw that.)
(Blood magic.)
(The hell was that?)
(From what I know, Diamond uses the space magic, gravity magic, dark magic and that so called domination magic which is combination of both gravity and space magics into one.)
(However, he NEVER used any blood type skills.)
"…"
(Blood type skills ARE strong, but they also user's own blood or the victims' blood to use them…. Normal races are okay somewhat… But.)
(Races that posses' natural abilities to store huge amount of blood inside of them are OP with blood type classes.)
(That means vampires.)
(But he wasn't a vampire from what I saw…. The hell is going on?)
(….)
(His divinity is related to the blood, isn't it?)
(This fucking idiot.)
(He already exposed himself.)
(Not only the nature, but also, he confirmed to me that he has one.)
(Why take such risky move…...)
"…"
(And that blood confirms my other fucking theory!)
(HE ALSO WANTED ATTETION.)
(Jezus…... This is way too fucking easy, to then point it is boring.)
(….)
(Still…. It is not over yet.)
(I may had crushed both Diamond and Arthur, making sure that their fame wouldn't sky rocket and allow them to gain too many fallowers…. But still. There is still good chance that there are some other bastards with divinities out there.)

"PFFF…."
(Nobody is even trying to attack me now or getting caught by my monsters' patrols.)
(I'm fine with just recovering after the two big fights like these….)
(But the fact alone that nobody is attacking me is worrying.)
(The entire swamp is currently being devoured by my plague and monsters.)
(Yet nobody is doing anything?)
(Somebody would think that I had a big fight and I'm currently recovering…. Yet nothing.)
"…"
"That means people are locked in combat with each other."
(And those near the swamp maybe either weaklings that are running away…. Or they are strong bastards who are too busy fighting each other.)

"Shit! Are you fucking sure about this?!" – asked the elven player in bluish scale armor as he and other two players were wondering through the swamps.
"Hey! I don't like this either!" – said pissed off dark elven female player with long two-toned hair, black and red.
"This place is straight up crawling with some weird fucked up monsters and the trees are straight up withering away."
"But at the same time, everybody else seems to be avoiding those."
"My familiar spirits are reporting to me this… I even saw the number 2 on the move near the swamps, only for him to change directions and head towards the center of the temple zone."
"There is good chance that he and the number 1 will murder each other."
[Spirit faction number 2 player: Mendu – Race: Dark Elde Elf – Specialty: Spirit user / Summoner]
(Honestly, I thought it would be easy to get to the fucking finals…. But fuck me!) – thought the female dark elf player named Mendu.
(WE GOT ANNHILIATED!)
(Heck! Even Percival, the strongest player of the spirit faction was straight up annihilated with ease by that monster Powin!)
(He couldn't even put up a proper fight!)
(I've barely qualified to the finals with these two bastards…. AND WE STILL CAN'T PUT UP A FIGHT!)
(First was that bastard with poisons, who straight up melted my spirits, MELTED THEM TO FUCKING DEATH!)
(Then there was also that motherfucking Magnus just blasting us away like some sort of comic relief villains!)
(And now we almost had run in with the number 2?!)
(Oh fuck no!)
(Call me coward or whatever you want, but I'm going to be in top 5 no matter what and get that money reward!)
(And the best to hide?)
(Underneath the belly of the beast!)
(We will hide in this rotting zone until everybody kill each other.)
(And if opportunity arises, we could possible take down one of these monsters!)
(Maybe there will be a chance for me to take even the top 3!)
"…"
(Still… What should I do about these bastards?)
(They maybe loyal right now… But we are talking here about somewhat big amount of money here.)
(I wouldn't be surprised if they would just betray me right now and here!)
(Maybe I should-)
"!"
"Stop!" – said the masked elven player.
"Something is coming towards us!"
"No wait!"
"IT IS HEADING STRAIGHT AT US!"
"THEY KNOW WE ARE HERE!"
"?!"
"What?! But we are hiding using the wonder curtain!"
"They shouldn't-"
Before Mendu could finish speaking, the ground around the trio of players started crumbling, before moments later several serpent insect monsters burst out from the ground.
"…"
"Ah…. Somebody appeared." – said Phantasia.
(I wonder who is the lucky victim!)
