He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 25. Guild War part 6
Chapter 25: Chapter 25. Guild War part 6
The Cirella Stadium was extremely packed to the brim with spectators. Reporters, awakeners, non awakeners, teenagers, adults,children, men ,women.
Defense mechanisms had been activated, acting as a visible yet almost transparent wall between the bleachers where the spectators were located and the battlefield, where the guild war would actually occur. However there was enough space for reporters and streamers to also navigate the exteror of the large battlefield , as they were protected by the visible yet almost transparent defense barrier . This way ,they would be able to take pictures and videos of the battle about to occur without being injured . The safety of the spectators had therefore been ensured. The guild war was between two guilds after all,there was no need to to get spectators caught in the crossfire.
Ginormous HD television screens could be found everywhere in the stadium, about to broadcast the event to the packed crowd, so that they could have a clearer view of the guild war.
The Assurance Guild and the Sobriety Guild leaders ,some higher ups of New Alexandria City awakener’s association , along with some cooperation tycoon’s in the city occupied special seats atop a couple of platforms.
This was a win win situation for the guild leaders in their opinion.
If Kailen Darkhaven died in this exchange , they would have less competition to handle. If Kailen ,miraculously killed Conrad, they knew that what awaited Kailen was more trouble. That old man behind Conrad would definitely not let the matter rest . He would find a way to secretly end Kailen. In that situation, not only would Kailen Darkhaven’s fate be sealed, Conrad would also be dead, leaving their guilds as the only two remaining to compete with one another for the top position.
Though Conrad was a muscle head, there were two reasons why his guild stood at the top of the remaining two in the city.
He was ridiculously strong, and his strength seemed to be almost at the apex of the A ranked.
Not only that, his tutor was an extremely important figure in the country, so only a few people dared to offend him.
His master had gone into seclusion for a few years now, to attempt to make a breakthrough into the S rank, therefore many had subconsciously forgotten about him. Only the other guilds who had been threatened and bullied by Conrad’s master on Conrad’s behalf had really noticed how terrifying he was.
This was one of the reasons why the two guilds dared to not mess with him openly.
Kailen did not know that Conrad had some sort of backing, but frankly, he wouldn’t have cared.
Staring at Kailen from one side of the bleachers with an amused expression in her eyes,Angela Hayes grinned from ear to ear, a malicious glint flashing through her eyes as she stared at Conrad.
" Could have ended this bastard a long time ago, but I chose to call it quits and just cut him off. Already have so much on my plate . However seeing him about to die really puts me at ease. Bastard .." Women were wired differently, however if there was one thing all women had in common,that was hatred for a scum who liked to force himself on women.
Having rejected the offer to sit at where the tycoons of the city sat, with an excuse that it was unnecessary , Angela threw a pop corn in her mouth from time to time .
The tycoons of the city had not found her rejection as an impolite gesture though. Angela was extremely strong. She herself was an A ranked exper, according to what they knew about her. There was also the rumors of her seeing visions about the future from time to time, however those were baseless and treated as common rumors.
No one knew anything about her, except that she came to the city ten years ago ,after the previous principal passed away in a beast tide and suddenly became the principal.
She was a recluse who kept to herself and rarely interacted with other people.
Occasionally the guild masters and the tycoons would occasionally cast her a glance, whispering events from the past . However she ignored them as though she couldn’t hear them, popping one popcorn after another into her mouth.
" I wonder how Conrad feels now, seeing Angela here"
" They say he’s fallen deeply for her"
" Hey,watch it, she can hear you. That woman is dangerous"
" What ,isn’t it the truth? Don’t your remember what she did to Conrad ten years ago at that party where he tried to force himself on her." The Guild Master of the Assurance Guild felt a chill run down her spine as she shook her head helplessly . Angela Hayes was too dangerous.
" I clearly remember , that was when everyone saw how powerful she was . She just kept flipping her hands around and he kept being trashed around and smashed against the four corners of the room like a ragdoll" A tycoon , the owner of the Axon Enterprises,a company that dealt in making weapons for the awakeners , reiterated . He had been invited to that party ten years ago, so he remembered the incident that occured .
The Sobriety Guild leader however snapped them out of the conversation about Angela , his voice heavy " They are about to start the guild war "

"Alright fellas , log unto theCrushing Casino.org and place your bets now... . It’s time to place the bets... Remember, you cannot change your choice of bet and the amount you betted when the match begins" A fat man with fair skin, bald head , a pot belly and a greedy look donned in baggy jeans and t shirts with chains all around his neck stood on a high podium that somehow descended from the sky with glittering lights surrounding him, probably for some sort of drama effect . Some showbiz music akin to that of the intro of a talk show graced his descent as he landed atop the commentary podium a few distances away from where the influential people were seated.
However no one looked down on this man, He owned the largest gambling house in the city and was a B ranked awakener . He was extremely loaded. It looked like the awakener’s association had hired him to oversee the bets and be the commentator for the match .
" Who do you think is gonna win?"
" Do you even have to ask?"
" This Kailen Darkhaven has just signed his death warrent"
" I choose to bet on him"
" I bet 50000 Federation dollars that Kailen Darkhaven will win "
" Tsk, don’t come crying to me for a loan later on"
" Girl, hope your camera is high quality, our streaming service must earn about 5 million views today"
A few moments later, the fat man’s entertaining and easy going voice interrupted the gittering of the crowd.
The fat man went ahead to introduce the influential figures of the city who had graced the guild war with their presence . The crowd erupted in cheers as each of these figures were adored by them.
" Now ladies and gentlemen, adults and teenagers, men and women, boys and girls .. ahem.. anyway the moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived" Everyone’s eyes landed on the battlefield as the fat man spoke.
Conrad Ronald had gathered all the high ranked members of guild, all the A ranked awakeners and the B ranked awakeners .
" To our right side of the battlefield is the Boiling Fuse ,and his team. He has managed to mobilise 20 A ranked Archers, 15 B ranked tanks, 12 A ranked healers and 5 A ranked and 3 B ranked assassins ,4 A ranked mages and 3 B ranked swordsmen... This matchup is really crazy. It looks like Guild Master Conrad is not taking his opponent lightly "
WAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The crowd bust into cheers, completely going haywire over the ridiculous manpower Conrad had managed to pull up for this match .
" Crazy , this is extremely crazy!"
" How can Kailen Darkhaven match up against that"
" Told you he was gonna lose?"
" My money? I bet it all on him!"
"Hahahahaa. I’m gonna be rich. As expected of the Boiling Fuse, he never dissappoints . A man who acts with his fist and not his brains is the kind I admire "
" I’m still rooting for Kailen"
" Stephen,do you think Kailen is gonna win?"
Rio asked his best friend, Stephen ,the smart one of the duo.
With a thoughtful expression,Stephen responded " Don’t you remember how Kailen was back then?. He always did things meticulously. There was never a decision he made without thinking it through carefully . I don’t think he stands a chance but somehow I feel like he might surprise us "
His expression was full of pain and regret , only he knew what he was thinking .
Rio sighed with a complicated look on his face then turned to look at the battlefield,arena or whatever you’d like to call it.
The fat man’s voice resonated once more " On our left side of the battlefield is a dark horse eveyone has been talking about lately. However he seems to be standing in the arena alone with his hands in his pockets. He seems completely unfazed even though it seems like from the team he was able to demonstrate to us a few moments ago at the awakening center, he seems to be clearly at a disadvantage "
The fat man was still speaking when all of a sudden ,Kailen made his decision , he knew he needed to utterly crush the opponents and end them quickly. It seemed although Conrad was a muscle head, he had learnt some tough lessons from underestimating Kailen . However ,he didn’t know that he had still underestimated his opponent even with all the preparations he had made.
Kaiken’s calm voice rung out on the battlefield as he lept into the air " Vengeful ,Everfrost , come out"
What everyone saw next, caused pin drop silence to reign in the stadium.
