The duo nodded to the words of the leader of the Faction as one of them stepped on the platform. His eyes trailed to the body of one of those from the Burchard Family who was at the Peak. He didn't waste any time and challenged the person. Their battle started off very slow before it started to pick up speed. After almost twenty minutes, the young man from the Nether Faction won. He fought as safe as he possibly could so as to ensure he doesn't get hurt. He needed to preserve his strength for Scott. The next person soon stepped on stage. Before the person from the Burchard Family went up, he heard the voice of the Family Head. "If you can't defeat him, make sure he doesn't have an easy time winning." The Family Head, as well as the Elders from the Burchard Family already knew the plan of the Nether Faction, defeat the duo, then try to use the advantage of numbers against Scott. Scott might be powerful, but no one felt he would be able to replicate what Grey had done. This was not them looking down at Scott, but if these two from the Nether Faction fought with their lives on the line, which they believed they would, then things might not be that easy for Scott, even though he was stronger. The next battle was not as dull as the previous one. Of course it was not on the level of Grey and Bill's battle, it was still amongst the top battles, excluding Grey's battles. Both fighters fought like their lives depended on it. The youth from the Nether Faction had the slight edge, but that didn't mean he would be able to breeze through the battle. The young man from the Burchard Family was cunning to the extreme. He traded blow for blow with the youth from the Nether Faction. His intentions were obvious, do as much damage as he possibly could. And he truly was getting it done. Although he was injured in that process, the youth from the Nether Faction was unscathed. Both fighters were bleeding, and the battle lasted for almost thirty minutes. The young man from the Burchard Family seemingly wanted to drag the youth from the Nether Faction down with him. Even after losing, he still dragged his body off the platform with a wide smile on his face. His bleeding face didn't make his smile look good, but he didn't care. He strodded off and went to his seat to recover. The youth from the Nether Faction clenched his fists tightly, he was incensed. This young man had ruined their plans. With his current state, he couldn't hold out against Scott for long. And everyone present knew that the first person Scott would pick was him. He hurried back to his seat and the Faction Leader covered him with a white light while giving him something that looked like a pill. "Stay for as long as you can before stepping up. You need to heal…" The Faction Leader had not even finished his statement when Scott's voice resounded from the platform. "You, come up." Scott had an aggressive look. It was evident that he was annoyed. After watching his comrades die at the start of the competition, then seeing how those from the Nether Faction were bullying Grey, he had been itching to give someone a beating for a long time. Now, he finally had the chance. The youth from the Nether Faction pretended he wasn't the one Scott was talking to as he continued to heal. Greedily absorbing what was inside the pill, as well as the light that still enveloped him. "Elder." Scott turned to the old man. The old man knew what those from the Nether Faction were trying to do, he could only shake his head. The Burchard Family did something like this as well when Grey was being challenged nonstop. With a sigh, he said, "If he doesn't come up within the next thirty seconds, he will be eliminated." The youth from the Nether Faction stayed till the time was almost up before stepping on stage against Scott. "I thought you were strong?" He asked with a smirk. He wanted to engage Scott in a conversation so he could get more time. Scott didn't reply to him, he only turned his head to the old man, waiting for him to give the go-ahead for the start of the battle. The old man didn't say anything more and nodded for the battle to begin. Scott attacked the moment it started. The youth from the Nether Faction knew that he was not on Scott's level, nor was he in the best condition to even try to fight against him. He hastily retreated as he dodged and blocked Scott's attacks. Scott attacked aggressively, but against someone who was hellbent on defending and dodging, even if the platform was small, he could barely do much. Especially given the speed advantage his opponent had over him. As the youth dodged, he tried to rile Scott up by abusing him. Scott stayed collected as he didn't rush into anything. Attacking in the same manner as the first time. Each attack was deadly and precise. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 The youth was forced to take an attack head-on after falling for Scott's scheme. The force of the attack forced him back, and before he could regain his balance, Scott was all over him. An attack came from almost all angles, and Scott was not even done. The youth scrambled to block the attacks with all his might. Unleashing lightning attacks. This youth was proficient in arrays, but he was not an Inscriber like Grey. While he was running, he set up an array on the platform. Just when everything was going Scott's way, the array lit up on the platform. Scott was about to attack when he sensed danger, he hurriedly retreated. The young man from the Nether Faction laughed in excitement as he coughed up a mouthful of blood in the process. Scott had done some serious damages to his body, but he could still fight.
