The whole map of Atlanta Island could be seen on the screen. Even with the stadium full of people, there was silence. Everyone was busy looking at the screen. A team of five students could be seen discussing something in their conversation; it could be interpreted that they were discussing something important.
"We should attack; what are we waiting for? This team is not strong; I can go alone if you guys don't want to join me," said Dilip.
"Calm down, Dilip; they are not running away; we must first scan the complete area and create a map. After it, we can continuously charge from one team to another," said Dev.
"I back Dev's decision. It will not take much time to survey the whole area. After we know the location of all guilds around us, we can make a proper plan to attack them one after another," commented Rishi.
"I don't care; both plans work fine for me," said Nina.
"I think Dev and Rishi are right; we should first scan the area fully. The summons would dissipate after some time. It is best to make full use of them," said Vinay.
The Audience was surprised that this guild was weird; they were about to attack all guilds nearby. They had never seen such an aggressive team for a while; most guilds were making safe decisions, but All-Stars was about to attack.
The supporters of the All-Stars cheered; this was the team they knew. They would start attacking opponents from the start, and everyone was excited about the action they were about to witness.
An hour passed, but the All-Stars had still not moved. Instead of doing something, the members of the All-Stars were drawing something on the sand with the help of a tree branch. Vinay and Rishi then plotted the information they had gathered on the rough map.
Dev and others looked at it before making plans; they created a rough outline in their heads before erasing it. The creatures summoned by Vinay disappeared, and Dev asked, "How will we accurately track them? They will most likely start moving."
See, that's why I was suggesting attacking," commented Dilip.
There's no need to bother about that; My summons can be used for that," assured Rishi, who waved his hand and released a violet smoke. The black-cloaked bat-like creatures absorbed that and became energetic again.
"How long will your spell last?" asked Dev.
"As long as I want; the only requirement is that this consumes a lot of energy," replied Rishi with a smile.
"Can I know how long you can keep them active?" asked Vinay.
Rishi used his hand gesture to ask him closer; he then brought his mouth near his ears and said 'Three Months' slowly. The others didn't hear what he said; the shocked expression in Vinay's eyes and the way he looked at Rishi were the only things that helped them make a guess.
"Let's move; we have a Guild thirty kilometer behind us; let's eliminate it," said Dev.
Vinay cast a spell, and five undead horses appeared. They looked creepy, but with their infinite stamina, they were a mount that could constantly move at its top speed. Rishi used his concealment spell on the mounts, and they started moving toward their opponent's location.
"Guys All-Stars have started to move towards the Rogue Knights Guild; are they thinking of attacking them? The Rogue Knights are a third-year guild. Their score was close to the All-Stars score in the first round. Is this really a good decision?" said the commentator.
The Audience cheered as they saw the All-Stars getting closer to the Rogue Knights guild on the map. Everyone was excited for the battle. Some were still not sure if All-Stars was really about to attack a guild this early.
After some minutes, the All-Stars were already some meters away from their opponent when Rishi sent out his 'Shadow Bats' to scout while the others stepped down from their mounts. Vinay summoned them back, and Dev signaled Vinay to start casting.
They slowly approached the opponents, and the scouts also showed their location. Rishi again used the concealment spell on everyone to make them stealthy; the opponents didn't think that someone would attack them this early because their guard was down.
Members of the All-Stars first surrounded the opponent camp, and Vinay finished his spell and cast it. The defense and momentary speed of the opponents decreased, but Dilip didn't wait a second; he charged at them with his spear and launched his attacks.
The members of the Rogue Knights were caught off guard, but they still tried to group up. Dev charged at their two knights and made it impossible for them to join. Rishi appeared behind their Mage, who was casting a spell. He used a dagger covered in Ice to slit his throat.
The archer was moving back, trying to distance himself from Rishi, but the next moment a chain appeared out of nowhere and caught him. Before he could escape, a chakram appeared, making a swish sound, and the next moment the bracelet of the Archer lit up, and he was eliminated.
Vinay used the Hands of the Dead' spell on the three knights; multiple hands made up of bones appeared from below and held their legs, stopping them from moving for a second. This interval was enough for Nina to use the Sword Dash', 'Bounty Hunter, and 'Sword Aura' combos.
A lightning ray bypassed all three knights, reducing their HP by half. They also got a 'paralyze' debuff on them, stunning them for one more second. Dilip charged, covered in Blue fire. He swung his Silver spear and stabbed all three of them one by one.
Two knights were eliminated instantly, while the last was eliminated by Dev. The crowd inside the stadium was silent. No one was cheering, as they all had their mouths wide open. It just took the All-Stars two minutes to eliminate a third-year guild.
The clip was shown again for the Audience to see. They saw Vinay casting the spell that debuffed the opponents. Then they saw Dilip charging at the opponents from the other side, which made them move in the direction of the All-Stars.
A shadow was seen then that appeared silently behind the mage, and in the next moment a barrier appeared around him and he dissapeared. Rishi was then shown using a chain to catch the Archer and a Chakram to attack him at the same time.
Finally, the powerful combo was shown. Hands made up of Bones appeared from below and caught all three Knights in place. The next moment, a Lightning Bolt struck all three of them and danced from one to another several times before retreating, leaving behind three half-HP opponents.The final Burst attack of Dilip and Dev sealed the fate of the Roogue Knights.
