253: Ignazio's True Power

Ignazio's True Power

After leaving the room, Ellen and Sihan exchanged looks.0

"What do you think about this situation?"

"If we win, we have two chances to stand out. If we lose, people will think we are lucky. Either way, Theo and Alea will be the stars of this team." Sihan shrugged, not caring about the result of this competition.

"That's true, I guess. Should we put on a spectacular show?"

"I don't think so. This time, Alea, Theo, and Phyrill have shown their current power, becoming everyone's target. People will think of us as their burden, but that's not it. We will make them think we're weak before revealing our new power in the next match."

"I guess it's decided. We can't really be too weak since they will suspect us." Ellen agreed with Sihan's explanation.

Sihan nodded to her before he heard.

"The time limit is almost over. Both teams have yet to send their participants. What's going on here?!" Sheira was bewildered by the decision for both teams.

While Sihan and Ellen enjoyed their time, Ignazio and the others were ready to come out. All of them stood right before the gate, just slightly behind from the spotlight. They thought Theo's Team would come out a bit sooner than them, so they all could run toward the arena together.

However, Ellen and Sihan were more daring than he thought. They waited patiently as if they didn't care, even if they needed to forfeit this match.

Seeing the timer, Sheira shouted. "We only have ten seconds left. Let's count them together. Starting from 5!"

"5."

"4."

The audience's voices echoed in the stadium, calling the participants. Even so, no one had yet to come out.

"3."

"2."

"1."

"Uoh!" At the last second, the entire stadium was shaking with cheers.

"What's this? Everyone's voice is shaking the stadium! Because right now, Italy Team and Thersland Team are present!" Sheira shouted in excitement.

Not able to handle the pressure, Ignazio decided to lose this gamble and came out together with Alys.

When Ignazio saw Ellen and Sihan as their opponents, he knew they had predicted his train of thought. Theo had won this bet.

Ignazio walked to the stage with a serious expression and said with a sigh. "So, is he even coming together with you?"

"He" in his mouth was none other than Theo, so Ellen answered him while shaking her head. "Nope. He is taking care of our little girl… I wonder what your team did to my cute best friend."

"I don't mean to be rude or use profanity, but to put it simply, Agata told me that she made her a little horny."

"Ahem." Diego forced a cough as if he wanted to warn him.

Ignazio scratched the back of his head while feeling stressed by the entire situation. "Either way, we need to fight."

"Indeed. We still have the intention to win though…"

"I am sorry, but Italy Team still needs to regain their face." Ignazio smiled while stepping back, gaining a bit of distance from them. Alys simply waited for Ignazio's command.

Because of the importance of this fight, Sihan wore full body armor made of the same white-colored metal. According to him, this was a new armor he received from his family to compete here. The material itself was classified as C Rank Material which dropped from Hero Rank Monsters.

With the pointed wing on top of his helmet, Sihan looked like a knight of the past, trying to protect his princess. Holding a giant white shield and blinding silver sword, Sihan took a step forward.

"Match Starts!" Diego quickly declared after confirming their expressions.

"I am sorry, but this is the end." Ignazio sighed as he raised his hand, planning to do what he couldn't do back in the game. "Summon Infantry."

"Suddenly, ten white-colored armors with red fur on their shoulders appeared on the battlefield. There wasn't a human or a ghost inside the armor, but it seemed ten people were wearing them. They held a spear and a shield each while walking forward like that of a soldier.

Many people thought God of War would mean Ignazio had a powerful battle prowess, but his true job was none other than Summoner. He wasn't a Fighter or a Magic Warrior!

Sihan quickly came to the front to face these soldiers, but Ignazio raised his hands once again. "Summon Archer."

Ten bows made of green light appeared behind him as Ignazio commanded them to aim at Ellen.

"Castle!" Sihan created a huge castle brick wall, stopping all the arrows, but he saw the infantry coming from two sides, surrounding them.

"Ellen, retreat a little bit," Sihan shouted while leaping together with her, forcing all the soldiers to follow him.

Seeing Sihan was going to be surrounded, Ellen raised her hand and used her Ice Meteor, slamming the huge boulder to the infantry to crush them.

However, Ignazio moved them to the side while waving his hand to the side. "Summon Cavalry!"

Ten armors riding a horse's armor emerged from thin air, running toward Ellen.

"!!!" Ellen quickly shifted her aim and threw the huge ice to the cavalries. "Ha!"

Due to its high mobility, the cavalries went to the left, avoiding the ice boulder before returning to their original target.

To stop them, Ellen raised her hand. "Bloom, Ice Lotus."

Three Ice Lotuses appeared above the air, fell to the ground, and turned into huge Ice Crystals.

However, this wasn't Ignazio's real power, he used the same technique to attack Sihan and Ellen previously. "Stratagem!"

This was the only control inheritance skill that allowed him to fully control all his soldiers.

The cavalries showed their astonishing ability by leaping above the Ice Crystals while preparing to attack Ellen with their spears.

Sihan obviously didn't want to let him succeed, so he sheathed his sword and grabbed one of the soldiers, throwing it to the cavalries.

It stopped the cavalry for a little bit since they needed to loop once more, giving Sihan enough time to return to Ellen's side.

Sihan was surprised by the amount of summoned creatures Ignazio had. "Their numbers… Ellen, take care of the low-speed ones like the infantry and the archers. I'm going to handle the rest."

"Understood." Ellen nodded without hesitation, but they all had one big question, especially after seeing how powerful Ignazio's summoned skills were.
