Clang!

Clang!

Hundreds of soldiers were fighting against each other next to a small outpost that was being used as a temporary base of a part of the retreating army. An officer of the other army managed to spot them and went back to fetch his troops so that he could conquer them first. The defenders were holding out heroically even with a lower number of troops.

They had 200 men going against 300, a difference that was almost impossible to overcome when they were evenly matched in power. The 200 men were fiercely defending the outpost, hoping that some kind of miracle could happen and save them.

Suddenly

Flames explode behind the enemy army as they illuminate the surroundings. The place the officer and his aides were located was gone, only flames remained there. The enemy army stopped their attack as they were confused at what had happened. Silence was now present on the battlefield as a pair of footsteps could be heard. Everyone could see a man slowly making his way through the fire.

"I finally managed to find more allies huh?" Wolf was smiling as he looked at the dilapidated outpost and the many soldiers encircling it. The soldiers looked at him with fear, it was not every day that you see a man casually walk out of flames while smiling at you after all.

"Yo, green armored bastards, drop your weapons and surrender, I promise you will live ok?" Wolf simply walks towards the soldiers as he drags his greatsword with him. Even though he said it, he never believed any of them would really drop their weapons and surrender. His armor was torn at some places while slight cracks could be seen on the iron parts of it, on all parts except his chest armor and gloves, of course, they were higher in rank and much more durable.

Twenty soldiers leave the others as they charge at Wolf, they were not going to underestimate an enemy that had just killed their commanding officer and his 4 aides without them even noticing it. But even with all of that, they could never imagine they were still underestimating Wolf.

His ability was of great help when dealing with multiple opponents, not to mention his weapon of choice was a greatsword, which was quite good against many opponents as well. With a wide grin on his face, he runs towards the soldiers as his flames blaze around him. With fury, he slashes towards them as a wave of flames follows afterward. Five soldiers were immediately blown back as the others were looking at Wolf with shock in their eyes.

Some ten minutes later the battlefield was calm again as all the enemy soldiers were dead. The original 200 soldiers of the orange army were down to 150, an amazing number considering the fact they were outnumbered by quite a margin. The reason for that of course was Wolf who had charged at the enemy with no regard for his own safety. Cuts and bruises could be seen all over his body as he rested inside the outpost, waiting for an important member of the army to come and talk with him.

He struck gold this time, as one of the men here was actually a general of the army, with his help Wolf was certain he would be able to finish this trial soon, as the general knew the most important locations nearby, locations which were occupied by allies or enemies, for Wolf that didn't matter, if it was an ally then he would help them, if there were enemies there, however, he would slaughter them all.

At another place, Beast was running through the forest by himself. After a long time fighting, he was finally able to kill the man pursuing him and ditch Goldilocks. He of course didn't forget to tie him up with a rope and leave him on a high tree, making it hard for Goldilocks to free himself or to be found by any other henchmen he had in the forest.

Only 1 more hour was left until the contest came to an end. Beast managed to hunt down a couple of more monsters before coming across another contestant. It was a woman wearing a mask on her head, nobody knew who she was and she was definitely not going to tell anyone. After a couple of seconds of staring at each other both Beast and the woman go their own way, there was not much time left and them fighting now would only be beneficial towards other contestants.

Beast was bleeding at multiple places as his previous opponent was truly skilled with the bow. His archery was a bit different compared to Beast's as the man used a different type of bow and arrow, not to mention technique. The man's arrows were fast and silent, almost to the point of being invisible, the drawback to such archery was of course the power behind the arrows, compared to Beast his arrows packed less of a punch and were only deadly when hitting a vital organ, but of course, any arrow was deadly when hitting vital organs.

Beast had difficulty evading the man's attacks effectively and as such his body had multiple small holes from the arrows. The wounds were however not very deep and didn't affect Beast a lot.

Moving forward he was determined to find a couple of stronger monsters to hunt, as he had a feeling that he might need some extra points at the end of the contest.

"Soldier, what are you doing?" A captain was patrolling the castle's surroundings as he managed to spot a soldier looking around, seemingly lost.

"Ah sir, sorry sir, I'm new and I managed to get lost, could sir show me the way please?" The soldier starts apologizing as he shows a smile on his face. The captain sighs in disappointment as he walks towards the soldier. It wasn't the first time something like this happened to him, some soldiers would get too excited when doing a mission and they wouldn't properly observe their surroundings, a sign of bad training.

"Come kid, the other captains and soldiers are right over there, we are guarding the entrance in case the assassin tries sneaking in again, only authorized personnel are able to gain entry now."

"I see, thanks for helping me man, and sorry, nothing personal." The soldier says as two daggers suddenly show up in his hands, he stabs through the throat of the captain with one of them while using the other dagger to stab under the armpit. The captain couldn't even struggle as the wounds and poison from the daggers worked fast and killed him in seconds.

Shadow quickly drags the body in a nearby alley and starts taking his armor off. He wasn't quite certain whether soldiers were allowed to enter the castle now so he was going to pose as a captain and try to get closer to the king.

After a couple of minutes, Shadow was wearing the captain's armor while he dressed the captain up in the normal soldier's armor. The captain was a bit buffer compared to the soldier and as such, some parts of the armor were hard to put on him, while the same parts on the captain's armor were a bit big for Shadow. It shouldn't be a problem however as it wasn't a big difference, not very noticeable from the outside at least.

Shadow slowly made his way towards the place the captain had previously talked about. He was a bit nervous about the other captains as they could potentially see through his cover, so he made sure to sneak around and only show himself when he was sure that he could quickly get into the castle.

Bam!

Tank was fighting a couple of soldiers inside the castle. The siege was going normally today until something unexpected happened. A couple of elites and a colonel actually went around and climbed the steep mountains around the castle. They slowly made their way down and managed to jump inside the castle and attack the soldiers.

There were about 30 of them, a small number when looking at the whole picture, but the difference was that the weakest amongst them was an elite, while the colonel was a mini-boss-tier enemy and only Tank could go against him. Not to mention that there were 4 captains with them as well, each one being between the elite and mini-boss tier, similar to Tank's four elites.

Two out of the four were currently facing the captain while Tank was making his way towards them. The others fought a captain each while the other two captains were slaughtering soldiers left and right. Tank finally managed to push back the elite soldiers that were blocking his way. Enraged by the way things were currently progressing he used his bull charge right afterward and finally broke through them, arriving near the colonel.

"Julie, Donovan, take care of the two captains, this bastard is mine." Tank blocks an attack that was targeted at the two while giving them orders. The two simply nod their heads before going towards the two captains, there was no need to say anything as they had unwavering confidence at Tank after all that has happened.

"The leader of the castle I presume, you have been quite a problem for us during this siege." The colonel points his spear towards Tank as they slowly start circling each other.

"Well that's nice to hear, tell me shorty, how do you wanna die?" Tank smiles ferociously towards the man. The colonel wasn't that short, to be honest, it was just that comparing the 174cm tall colonel to Tank was a bit too much. The colonel's lip trembles slightly as he looks at Tank with hatred.

Suddenly they both move. Tank was physically superior compared to the colonel while the latter was much more skillful with his spear compared him. Their battle just started and Tank was immediately cursing as he knew that this would take a while without using the scythe's skill, but if he used that to swiftly win then he would be weakened for the rest of the trial, which was something he couldn't let happen right now.

Tank steeled himself as he continued fighting against the colonel. His body was strong and could take a couple of hits so he decided to fight more aggressively in hopes of exchanging injuries with the colonel. They both fight brutally, just like everyone else currently was.
