Chapter 681 Confusion In The Light Faction
There was a large amount of confusion among those from the Light Faction. They understood that a traitor or two among factions was expected when spies had to delve deep into other territories.
They had to truly become part of the clan and faction to fulfill their roles. Oftentimes, this would lead to some spies changing sides, but that hardly ever worked out. Most Pagna warriors, once knowing someone had turned on them once, felt like it could happen again at the snap of a finger, and they wouldn't last long.
What was strange here was not only were there the odd few higher-ups changing sides, but every single one of the students who had participated in the tournament looked to be turning on the Dark Faction leaders.
"It seems the Dark Faction has been having troubles of their own and has been keeping it quite a secret," Ricar stated. "Can't you tell, based on the reaction of the adults? It was almost as if they were expecting this."
Ricar was spot on with his guess. Murkel knew from the first attempt at escape that the students were no longer loyal. The only reason they were doing his bidding was through fear.
The issue was, the fear that ran through them wasn't strong enough. The look in their eyes told him that at any chance they had, they would try to take it, and it seemed as if this chance had come along.
Amir came forward again, a strike from the front. Murkel jumped back, avoiding the strange beast-like hand. Right as he jumped back, though, he felt a strong force disrupting his Qi from his side.
Lifting up his arm, loud bangs and powerful blasts of Qi were felt hitting him, one after the other. Taking a peek through his guard, he could see that it was Dame.
"You should have confirmed it with your own eyes and checked if I was really dead. You're going to regret it!" Dame claimed, as he continued to move and swing his fists through the air, keeping a distance.
It was the most important thing to do, especially considering what Amir had told him about his Qi.
As he was continuously getting hit, Murkel was able to block it with his guard just moving it about. As he moved both of his arms to the side, he heard something scraping against the ground, and when he turned around, he could see a large red X of Qi coming his way.
Quickly Murkel moved one of his hands to the two blades striking at him and grabbed onto the blades, stopping them before they could completely swing.
"I can see it in your eyes, not even your words, you show no respect, so I will show you respect today!" Alba shouted as she pushed forward with her Qi, but with a twist of his hand, the Dark Qi encased the entirety of Alba's, almost making it disappear.
Then with a slight push, she was forced off her feet and flew through the air until she crashed into the arena wall.
"Do you think just the three of you are enough?" Murkel said. "You will need everyone."
"It's okay," Amir said. "I just don't want you involved in their fight."
Amir, Dame, and Alba, who had just gotten out of the wall, a little marked up but not fully hurt, were now going up against Murkel. Although they might have needed more power to take on the principal and practically leader of the Dark Faction, the others were needed elsewhere.

For a while, Cronker had been observing the situation, keeping an eye on Murkel. In the corner of his eye, he was looking for the perfect situation to strike, but it just didn't appear to be happening because every time he would move forward, Akron would be in his way.
Akron and Murkel were quick to get up, as if they weren't affected at all, and continued their fight. In the meantime, the rest of the students, along with the Crimson Crane members, acted.
They acted on the order of Alba and charged forward. The students did the same, thinking that this was going to be their only chance. They were no longer holding back. As they went forward, those on the ground didn't just sit around, though.
They quickly got up off the floor and set their eyes on a target to attack. Two people in particular, the twins from the Tulip Clan, Lin and Lulu, had jumped forward, holding their fans close to them and charging against one student.
"That kid with the one eye is annoying me. Get him!" Lin shouted.
"Wait a second, why me?" Liam replied as he knew he was their target and stopped charging forward. Instead, he looked at the two of them, trying to figure out a way to get out of this.
Fighting maybe one of them, he could come up with something, but two would be nearly impossible. Looking at them, they were running across from each other, from side to side, while coming at him.
The system was analyzing and had finally come up with an answer.
[Using the half-moon block will block one of the strikes]
[It's impossible to block both of the strikes]
[There are currently no skills in the system that will allow you to avoid the situation]
'Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? Are you abandoning me right now at the most important part!'
Whether the system was right or not, Liam didn't know, but he trusted it as he just focused on one. It was the only thing he could do. His sword lit up, and he swung it in a half-crescent strike in the air.
It clashed against the fan and caused it to hit upward, and from his right side, he could hear a similar sound.
He turned to look and noticed a linger of light in the air, coming off from a sword, coming from a woman of all things.
"Was that the half-moon block as well?" Liam asked.
Immediately, the person known as Anna turned to him.
"You better tell me who gave you that system, and if you lie, I'll kill you myself."
Liam gulped. He thought that this woman was his ally. Wasn't she by Raze's side, and now she was threatening to kill him?
'But that move from before...and the system...how does she know?'
