翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

Looking at the bout fire created by Ruby, which was behind Ren, Irene blinked before immediately feeling her surroundings shift.

The next second, she was on the opposite side of the space and right behind the gigantic Ren, who was surrounded by Liam and Kevin.

However, as Irene stood there simply watching, her eyelids began to droop... and she slowly began to lose energy, her legs sinking deeper and deeper into the ground.

The same could be said for Kevin and Liam; however, the adrenaline was keeping them from completely falling asleep.

Dismissing his corrupted legs and arms, Ren returned to his original size, narrowly avoiding a duo attack from Kevin and Liam.

Even though his legs were made of corruption, Ren had lost... a considerable amount of health as the attacks still affected him.

The corrupted legs were a part of Ren\'s body for that period of time, so if someone hit them, it would count as hitting his body.

Therefore, he was still losing health when Liam and Kevin attacked his corrupted legs and not his actual body.

The loss of health was still significantly reduced, though, as his physical body wasn\'t hurt.

However, his physical body had still been attacked relentlessly as the duo performed multiple ariel attacks to specifically target the part of Ren\'s body that wasn\'t pitch-black.

It seems they had noticed that the corruption was acting as a protective barrier for Ren.

Not that he planned or calculated this... but Ren was so low on health that one single sword slash from Liam could take him out.

Staring at the familiar potion bottles, which were currently emitting a gas, Ren smiled before putting his hand in his pocket.

"Brings back memories... doesn\'t it?"

Ignoring the incoming Kevin and Liam, Ren pulled a simple bottle of water out of his pocket before opening it.

Then, in a swift motion, Ren flipped the bottle upside down on his head, allowing the water to drip down his hair.

Only after the bottle was empty did Ren dodge.

Since their movements were slowed from the sleeping gas, Ren was able to dodge both Liam and Kevin with a simple use of dash.

Seeing both Liam and Kevin limp from a lack of energy, Ren chuckled before manifesting two pitch-black daggers in his hands.

"It was a good time...I guess."

Unbeknownst to even Ren, Irene collapsed from exhaustion a couple of meters behind him, lying blankly on the burned grass below her.

On the other hand, Han and Jin had popped out of the ground and were now facing Zach, Alya, and Lily.

This was obviously an unfair fight in terms of pure power... however, Han and Jin had their own advantage.

*RUMBLE*

The next second, the ground under Jin, Han, Lily, Alya, and Zach collapsed, sending all of them freefalling into the underground space below.

Back on the surface, Ren gripped his daggers before sprinting towards Kevin, who was nearer to him.

In a swift and clean motion, Ren\'s corrupted dagger seamlessly passed through Kevin\'s stomach with no recoil in the slightest.

Even before Kevin\'s body disappeared and disintegrated, Ren was already charging at the defenseless Liam.

Back in the recruiter\'s room, the elimination announcement finally sounded... just not with who they had thought.

*Student Kevin eliminated*

* Student Kevin eliminated*

*There are nine students remaining.*

Despite the loud and noisy announcement, no one, including Seraphina, took their eyes off the jumbotron.

On the screen, Ren dashed towards Liam... who seemed to be waiting.

Connecting the dots between the potions on the arrows, Kevin\'s death, and Liam\'s exhaustion, a recruiter exclaimed, breaking the awkward silence.

"A SLEEPING GAS...HOW DID THEY GET ONE OF THOSE!?"

Turning to the school administrator behind her, Seraphina eagerly questioned.

"Are potions of sleeping gas in the loot pool for chests...?"

Seeing the administrator shake her head, Seraphina sighed and replied.

"I thought so..."

However, a second later, another recruiter coughed before speaking.

"*ahem* They were considered a \'special\' item... so a couple of them were put into supply drops."

Considering the initial size of the magic space, a sleeping gas would be essentially useless as it only affects people within a short radius of it.

Still, if you could limit the opponentm\'s movement, the sleeping gas was still powerful. So they added to the loot pool.

But... now that the magic space was so small, a sleeping gas was lethal.

Keep in mind that since this was in a magic space and a holographic world, none of the items here were considered real... so the school wasn\'t breaking any legal rules.

Shaking her head, Seraphina returned her attention to the screen...only to see a surprise waiting for her.

Liam... was resisting the sleeping gas.

On the screen, a light-blue hue was surrounding his figure, keeping the sleeping gas from reaching him.

Ren, noticing this far too late, had his daggers downward and a relaxed posture, so Liam was easily able to catch him off guard.

In contrast to his limping figure a second ago, Liam burst forward, his broadsword also surrounded by a light-blue hue.

Back on the battlefield, Ren, completely caught off guard by Liam\'s resistance to the sleeping gas, activated the usage period of the dash.

But by that time, Liam was already upon, a deathly grin apparent on his face.

Raising his hand to his eye, Ren slowed his perception of time... and switched points of views?

In the underground space, Ren, leaving his physical body completely undefended, was now in possession of his corrupted figure.

With his perception of time still slowed, "Ren" simply stepped to the right, seeing a variety of contraptions that were just waiting to be used.

Smiling, "Ren" stared at a familiar figure with long, silky black hair and blood-red eyes.

"Ready?"
