"Oi! What do you think you're doing?!" The young man who had smashed the Boar with his hammer shouted in anger after seeing Lux's actions. "Do you want us to target you as well?"
"Very funny," Lux replied. "You're talking as if we are friends. Also, do you think I can't count? Your group had twenty people in the beginning, but five were eliminated. Now that all of you have drunk your potions, you think you can just resume eliminating all of us, right?"
The young man was unable to refute Lux's words since what the latter said was the truth. Several other solo players warily looked in their direction since they had noticed how this particular group had picked off contestants without any groups or backings one by one.
After drinking the two bottles of Health Potion that Lux had given it, the Boar finally regained its strength and stood up from the ground.
"I'll remember this favor," the Boar said. "What is your name?"
"I told you that you don't need to repay this favor," Lux replied. "As for my name, you will know it eventually once you succeed in passing the Qualifying Rounds."
"Very well. I'll just remember your face."
"Suit yourself."
Lux glanced towards the direction of the group of people who was now eyeing him and the Boar with hateful glares. He didn't plan on fighting at the start, but since he had extended his help on an underdog, rather, an underboar, he had now become a target of the group that was aiming to eliminate it.
"Get them!" the young man wielding the hammer shouted as he charged at Lux, alongside his teammates.
The Boar squealed as its eyes turned crimson red. It had activated its Berserk Skill, making his strength grow by leaps and bounds.
"Wild Charge!" The boar stomped its right hoof, embedding itself deep on the ground before shooting towards its opponents like a speeding truck.
"Evade hi–" the young man wielding the hammer wasn't able to finish his words as he felt a tremendous pressure wash over his entire body, making it freeze in place.
Lux's eyes glowed faintly as he looked at his opponents, releasing the power of his Dragon's Fear [EX], immobilizing his opponents in place.

The bowling ball, in the form of a raging Boar, bulldozed its way towards the center of the arena, sending its opponents flying in several directions. The referees immediately took them out of the arena as they all suffered critical injuries after being impaled by the boar's mighty tusks.
Lux immediately deactivated Dragon's Fear to prevent others from knowing about it. Fortunately, almost everyone's attention was on the berserked Boar, so they weren't able to see the subtle change in the color of Lux's eyes.
Of course, there was one exception and that was none other than the skinny young man who was standing at the center of the arena wearing a bamboo straw hat.
After eliminating its targets from the arena, the Boar returned to Lux's side and panted for breath. It had deactivated its Berserk Skill and was currently at a weakened state.
"Why did you return here?" Lux asked as he eyed the panting Boar beside him.
"Um, so you can protect me until I recover," the Boar replied.
"Wow. Your face sure is thick."
"I get that a lot."
Lux shook his head as he sighed internally. Right now, the battles around the arena had paused for a bit after the Boar had shown its strength to everyone.
The contestants eyed Lux and the Boar warily, but they still believed that they could defeat the two of them.
Only the skinny young man at the center of the arena remained undisturbed by the other contestants who were eyeing each other with a wary gaze. None of them wanted to have their limbs cut off from their bodies, so they made sure to not antagonize the young man who didn't hesitate to slice people up.
"T-The Boar is not a threat anymore, but if we let it recover we will have problems later," a brown-haired teenager shouted. "I suggest we dispose of them first before we decide who the final twenty will be, what do you guys think?"
"I agree! If we don't eliminate that boar now, we will lose our chance after it recovers."contemporary romance
"I second this proposal!"
"Me, too!"
"I also agree."
Lux smiled as dozens of people encircled him and the Boar that was panting by his side. At first, he wanted to hide his strength as long as he could, but it was impossible to do that.
'I guess I need to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys,' Lux thought. 'Well, I guess it's time to let them know who they are dealing with.'
"Attack!" the brown-haired teenager shouted as he summoned several flame lances and hurled it at Lux and the boar beside me.
To Lux's surprise, the Boar stood in front of him and used its body to shield him from the incoming magical attacks, despite its weakened state.
"Do you want to be a roasted pig that badly?"
"My Grandpa said that boys should act cool to impress the ladies. It's not like I'm doing this to return the earlier favor, don't get the wrong idea."
Lux grinned before patting the side of the boar's body as he stepped forward.
"I appreciate the intention," Lux replied. "But, I can handle these guys. You just rest there and recover your strength."
When the flaming lances were only two meters away from the chubby boy, a rocky hand jutted off the ground and blocked it.
"Clean up the trash for me, Orion," Lux ordered as he placed his hands behind his back like a Martial Arts Master. "Don't hold back."
Immediately the ground shook, catching everyone in the arena off guard.
A moment later a four-meter-tall Rock Golem, jumped off of the ground and landed a few meters away from the brown-haired magician who had cast fire lances at his Master.
"It's Clobberin Time!" Orion roared as he smashed his fists against the ground, creating a powerful shockwave, sending giant rocks and dirt flying in every direction, causing those that got caught up in the attack scream in pain.
The skinny young man lightly pulled his sword out of its sheath creating a clinking sound.
Immediately, the giant boulders that were flying in his direction were cut in half, passing harmlessly by his sides, and landing on the people behind his back.
Orion thrust his right hand into the ground. A moment later, he lifted it back up, but this time, he was lifting a giant boulder above his head.
"Rock throw!" Orion roared as he threw the boulder in his hands towards the group of people that had gathered together in one spot.
"I surrender!"
"I concede!"
"I don't want to die!"
The people that had surrendered were instantly taken out of the arena by the mages who were keeping a close eye on the chaotic battlefield where a Rock Golem was performing a one-sided pounding.
"W-Wow!" the Boar exclaimed. "You are a summoner?!"
"Um, something like that," Lux replied. 'Still, Orion can be quite devastating when he just attacks recklessly like this.'
The Half-Elf had long decided that in this tournament, he would only summon Orion to fight for him. He had decided to wear the mask of a "Summoner," hiding his identity as a "Necromancer" to conceal his true abilities from people.
This would make his opponents have a false estimate of his capabilities, so that when they decided to target him instead of the Rock Golem, he could give them a nasty surprise that would make them regret their decision.
