Chapter 300 Best At Scouting
A large crowd could be seen in the biggest stadium in Mazar City. Everyone was here to witness a grand battle between the best guilds of the Mazar Academy. The principal, director, and professors were all present here as this was the biggest tournament at Mazar Academy.
The Third Round of this tournament was famous for its innovative styles. This time, it was in the form of a grand strategy and survival Game. Each Guild was thrown onto an unknown island; they now had to battle against each other and survive.
This event was so famous that all the well-known figures from Mazar City and the cities around it arrived. The academy allowed Guilds to have sponsors; Each Guild had the logo of their sponsors on their jerseys and capes. The sponsors didn't care if the team won or lost.
They wanted the team sponsored by them to be in the news. A man with a big mustache could be seen wearing a hat. He was the man with the second-most popular pet shop, and Ajit convinced him to sponsor their Guild. At first, he was not sure, but when Ajit told him that their Guild has always been in the limelight, this time they were going to do something crazy that would make them the most popular Guild,
Mr. Ajay was not initially convinced, but he finally decided to take the bet. He was not sure about the current competition, but in the end, he was sure the All-Stars would rule. The live telecast and highlights of all the important moments were shown to the audience.
Multiple Drones with high-quality cameras were moving around the whole island, capturing everything. The audience here could imagine everything in 4D. This was the thing that made so many people come to the stadium personally: betting was not allowed as that would interfere with results.
The commentator was trying his best not to let the audience get bored, even for a second. He explained many interesting facts about the island that blew everyone's mind. The audience was then shown the map, with the locations of the Guilds highlighted by their logos and colors.
All-Stars were on the island's east side, while the Dare Dragons guild was on the southern side. There were three Guilds between them. No guild was moving carelessly; everyone was observing the environment and making plans.
Most Guilds were dropped along the boundary, while some were dropped a little further to the center; each Guild was many kilometers away from each other at the beginning. The Camera then kept moving from one Guild to another, showing what they were doing.
At first, the Camera was in the Dare Dragons; it showed how the Mage of this Guild was using a scan spell before they proceeded. It then moved to the Blue Pheonix; the Guild led by Shreya Rawat, head Girl of Mazar Academy. This Guild was cutting the nearby trees and making something; everyone guessed they might have thought about using the River near them.
The Camera then moved to Mineva, who were moving towards the border area away from any other guilds; they would take a late rotation. This strategy was used often, but the only problem was that multiple guilds laid ambushes on such teams.
On-screen, the All-Stars were shown, and Vinay appeared on screen. He chanted some incantations, and soon a tall Black gate appeared behind him. It shone red and opened. Several small orbs shining in blue appeared from it; they all had transparent bodies.
They looked harmless from afar, but deep within their light was a skull shape that could terrify anyone. This creature was called Will o' Wisps; it was a creature that had high stealth and immunity to all types of attacks other than soul-type attacks. They were excellent scouts, even in the most dangerous situations. They were not hard to summon, but how they worked made them less viable.
They provided the information in their strange language, and not many mages were able to understand it fully. The second thing was that they were very hard to control, and the last was that they could not be summoned in huge numbers. This required an advanced summoning spell, high control and Affinity toward the death element, and a lot of Mana.
Vinay didn't stop there; he then used the Haste and Swift spells on them. The other members could also use their spells on them after Viany used a strange spell. After this, they moved swiftly through the air and started exploring the nearby area.
Everyone in the audience was surprised when they saw that. They had never seen someone summon more than a hundred wisps. This was not all; what surprised everyone was his ability to control them and the spell that could make allies buff his summoned monsters. These things, together, made Vinay look mysterious.
Rishi could be seen with his fingers on his chin; he was thinking about something. After some time, he nodded and brought his hand in front of him. From his hands, a violet smoke was released, turning into a fist-size orb that resurfaced and turned into a small bat-like flying creature.
It had no eyes; It only had a mouth and a disc-shaped antenna on his head. It didn't look that cute, and Rishi didn't care about his appearance for now. He asked it to scout the area; the creature disappeared from view the next moment and started scanning.
It released sonic waves that scanned the shadows around him and sent data to Rishi. It was his job to distinguish between the different types of data and figure out what they were. Rishi first used it to sense the shadows of humans; he then stored this information and tried again.
This time, this beast only sent him a signal when locating human shadows. Rishi nodded and snapped as multiple similar creatures appeared around him. With the properties of his Shadow Spirit, he was able to easily duplicate them. He then asked them to scan the other side; they started moving before segregating and spreading across.
Whoever saw it had his jaw dropped; no one had thought Rishab would have such a type of spell. With this additional group, All-Stars was able to easily locate the other guilds around them. The question now was: will All-Stars attack other guilds or choose to ignore them? Everyone was praying; they wanted to see some action.
The audience already knew that there were many guilds around All-Stars from the map, and with their means, All-Stars would only need a few minutes before locating them.
