BXBX NOVEL Chapter 279 Bad Choices
Chapter 279 Bad Choices
Which brings us to the other feeling they all felt.
About 99% of them had chosen seconds as their bidding time, clearly a wrong choice.
They all believed that Atticus would finish the fight that early considering the level of power he had unleashed on the beast the last time.
But they had been utterly wrong with their choice, which was why they all currently had brooding expressions on their faces despite being shocked.
Their thoughts were abruptly broken by an intense shout,
"Yes!" Gon suddenly exclaimed, drawing the attention of all the operators toward him, all of them gazing at him curiously about what was making him so happy.
It was then it struck them, just how long had they been watching the scene?
1 hour.
And there was only one person who bet that time.
Although his bet had been completely vague, bidding \'more than an hour.\'
Normally something like that wouldn\'t have been accepted, but because of the absurdity of the bet, they had all let it go.
An action they all currently regretted to the core. If none of them had won, they could all just take back their points. But unfortunately, someone had won! Their points were gone!
The implication struck them like a thunderbolt.
All of them turned their gazes towards Gon, who was smiling like a complete fool while looking seemingly in the air, clearly satisfied by what he was seeing.
They all looked at him with deep hate. One look, and one would instantly know that they all wanted to pounce on him.
But Gon ignored all of the hateful stares as he saw the number of points he had earned.
Academy points: 150,000 AP.
Never did he think he could earn all this in a single day! He had taken a risk, and it had been completely worth it!
\'Looks like I\'d be treating myself tonight, hehe,\' Gon thought while laughing sheepishly, completely ignoring all the hateful looks he was getting.
…
Atticus continually \'sparred\' with the Shadow Seraphon, much to its dismay. In fact, it was more of a brutal beating than sparring.
He kept on using his elements to the limit, trying his best to increase his proficiency in each one of them.
He made sure to use elements like lightning, light, darkness, and ice, which were still at a lower level, in an attempt to level them up quickly.
Atticus also used each of his arts, especially the arcane barrier, trying out different variations and increasing their proficiency.
The Shadow Seraphon had no other option but to keep fighting, even though it was continually getting beaten up.
It had tried to run away earlier, but Atticus had instantly caught up to it and given it an even more intense beating than before.
From then onwards, it didn\'t need to be told twice on what was expected of it. Despite not being capable of speech, master- rank beasts all had a certain amount of intelligence in them.
Even though it was getting brutally beaten each time, it knew it had no choice but to keep on attacking Atticus.
Its initially glowing red eyes had completely dimmed, subtly trembling as it gazed at Atticus with deep rooted fear.
Just why was it so unlucky?
It had been simply napping in its domain when Atticus had intruded into it. He was the one at fault, so just why was it getting punished this much?
After more than an hour of intense \'sparring\', Atticus finally decided to stop for now.
The Shadow Seraphon lay defeated, its once mighty form now reduced to a pitiful state.
Scorched and mangled, its massive torso and tendrils had diminished significantly from their original imposing size.
What was once a formidable 40 meter torso had dwindled to a mere 15 meters, and its tendrils, initially large and menacing, now appeared small and feeble.
Struggling to move, the Shadow Seraphon weakly attempted to stir its undersized tendrils, but it was a futile effort.
After several feeble attempts, it conceded defeat, lying sprawled within a massive crater on the cavern floor.
Its blood red eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, as if contemplating its bad life choices.
It had gone through a lot.
Atticus ignored the beaten up beast as he turned his gaze to the multitude of holes in the walls.
The last time he had come here, they had looked all eerie and, if he had to be honest, scary. And that was because he knew how staggering the number of beasts that were living here was.
But now, he was completely sure that there were no others here anymore.
The fact that no other beasts showed themselves when Atticus was beating the living daylights out of the Shadow Seraphon clearly shows that it was currently the only beast in the area.
Which meant that he and his division members had killed all the wolf-sized beasts the last time.
Atticus chose a random space by the wall and sat down cross-
legged with his back against the wall.
The whole cave had a uniformly high mana density than anywhere he had been since he got to this academy.
Even the training ground he had purchased fell short.
Now that he had trained all his elements, Atticus was going to absorb mana for a while and then head back to the camp.
But before that, Atticus wanted to check his exposure numbers first.
\'Status,\' he thought, and a holographic display materialized in front of his face.
