BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213: Bonus Chapter
The lord of Windsor Town narrowed his eyes, anger flashing across his face as he spat in a disappointed voice, "This bastard... it\'s just one person! Why are they all scared—" The lord trailed off as he noticed the dark pulse slowly converging on Nox\'s fingertip. Because of the distance between the screen and the spectator seats, most others couldn\'t see the screen clearly.
But as the shadowy pulse grew larger, they began to see what was happening. Cold shivers ran down their spines. The condensed dark energy was pulsing like a steady, foreboding heartbeat. Thousands of hearts thudded in unison with the pulse, as everyone sat on the edge of their seats.
Bridget\'s eyes were practically sparkling with excitement, and even Zarek, who had kept his composure all this time, shifted uncomfortably, his fingers tapping anxiously on the desk.
Though he couldn\'t sense the aura of the skill physically, Zarek and Bridget could tell it was very powerful... at least an advanced rank.
Back in the mysterious realm, a loud boom, similar to the sound of roaring thunder, echoed, and in an instant, the dark spherical energy shot forward.
"What is this?!" the red-haired boy shouted, panic creeping into his voice as he saw the growing blast heading toward them at breakneck speed.
"Run!!" one of the others shouted, trying to escape the trajectory of the devastating blast, which was approaching like a meteor, ready to turn the world upside down and annihilate everything nearby. Some tried to flee, but a few were too stunned to react... it was as if the blast had a bewitching effect, stopping their muscles from responding.
"Dammit!" the healer cried, her expression filled with fear, her face now a shade of purple. She was among those who couldn\'t move a single muscle. "What do we do?!" she shouted, looking at Gerald, whose legs were shaking.
Through gritted teeth, he shouted, a hint of annoyance in his voice, "I don\'t know... I guess this is the end."
**BOOOOOOM!**
The dark blast reflected in the eyes of Gerald, the red-haired boy, and the healer. Their faces were filled with horror as the dark blast landed in the middle of the battlefield, engulfing the entire area.
The life field on the magical screen went blank for a moment, and silence swallowed the entire arena. The screens showing the other teams were still live, but because of the intensity of the fight, everyone\'s attention had been solely focused on the one showing the clash between the three teams.
Now that the screen had gone blank, the crowd grew restless, and nervous whispers filled the air.
"Was that it?"
"Are they... dead? All of them?" one spectator whispered, his hands clutching the railing tightly.
"They can\'t all die just like that, right?"
Bridget\'s eyes widened, her earlier excitement turning to stunned disbelief, then shifting back to excitement. Even she hadn\'t expected this. "They were—They couldn\'t have been wiped out... just like that." Because of the stunned silence, everyone heard her voice.
"Pathetic!" The lord of Ironclaw Town laughed at the nervousness on the faces of his people. "There\'s no way a ten-year-old would take out nine Awakened like that!" he shouted confidently.
"Then why is the magical screen malfunctioning?" someone called out.
"That\'s because the life-feed crystal on the other side was affected by the blast," the Windsor baron answered confidently, as if he were in the mysterious realm himself.
His words seemed to quench Bridget\'s excitement. For a moment, she had thought Nox had single-handedly wiped out the other teams. \'How silly of me... it seems I have too many expectations for this boy.\' Bridget sighed and quietly berated herself.
The duke\'s confidence seemed to ease the crowd—until the next moment, when their faces turned pale, and they jumped to their feet.
"No way!"
"He really did kill all of them!"
"Heavens!"
Over fifteen figures materialized outside the platform, emerging from thin air. They were disheveled, their bodies battered. Some were confused—they had just been exploring the mysterious realm when suddenly, dark energy engulfed them, and they found themselves outside. They were still oblivious to the fact that they had been eliminated.
At that moment, the blank screen flickered back to life. Immediately, the audience saw the now-devastated battlefield, and gasps filled the air.
At first, the audience saw nothing but countless hollow craters—large, dark, and lifeless. The battlefield was scorched, the ground cracked as though it had been a testing site for nuclear weapons. There were no signs of life. No bodies. No movement.
...The only person standing there was none other than Nox, who blew on his fingertip, chasing away the lingering dark energies.
At that moment, the crowd\'s stunned whispers turned to horrified gasps.
"He killed them... all of them."
"But I thought it was only nine people in that area... how did he?"
"Could it be his attack affected nearby areas as well?"
The words spread through the stands like wildfire, disbelief turning into pure panic.
Klein, the commentator, choked mid-sentence, struggling to maintain his composure. His hand holding the amplifying crystal trembled as he announced:
"L-Ladies and gentlemen… I—What we\'ve just witnessed... All fifteen of them—eliminated. Wiped out! Not a single survivor!" His voice cracked. "Nox Cromwell… has killed them all."
