Chapter 73 One Sided Victory

Dilip had been looking at his phone for one minute and had not stopped the picker's wheel. "Dilip, it's already 6:15, now stop the wheel," the commentator said; he decided to intervene because the audience was getting impatient.

"Looks like there are still five minutes left; I think the time on your smartphone is wrong," Dilip said, showing him his phone. "You should upgrade your phone; it appears to be outdated." Everyone checked their phones and saw that it was already 6:15 a.m.

"Dilip, you can ask others; I think the time on your smartphone is wrong," the commentator said with a fake smile, he was losing patience with time as well.

"Oh, I see; I remember now to stay ahead of everyone; I set my phone's time five minutes late. Let's stop it, or the lucky time will pass," Dilip said as he quickly pressed the stop button. The picker wheel's speed began to slow before it came to a halt.

"See, I told you 6:15 was my lucky time," Dilip exclaimed with delight before turning to Aman and declaring, "I will surrender if your team survives even a minute." After completing his sentence, he laughed.

The battlefield transformed into a volcano, filled with fire elemental energy. "The battle is about to begin; everyone, are you ready?" said the commentator as each team entered the field one by one. In response, the audience applauded.

The barrier reappeared, the referee blew his magical whistle, and the fight began. Dilip has already instructed his teammates to use their full strength from the start. Jay used his wind elemental energy to control the movement of his arrows after casting his 'Arrow Rain' skill; this was the ability he received after obtaining his Job class.

Lalit also charged at the opponents in an attempt to intimidate them; he was primarily attempting to block the enemies' attacks.

Faded was taken aback by his unusual fighting style, as they had never seen a tank player charge at their opponents. Lalit developed this fighting style after training to control the movement and charge of his contract beast completely.

Lalit's attacks didn't deal much damage due to his low level, but he was able to cause chaos in the enemy formation and separate them for a short time. Jay was controlling his arrows so that they were only aimed at opponents.

Ajit had also joined Lalit and was constantly giving him buff and increasing his HP and defense while also attacking opponents with his attack skills.

This chaos provided an excellent opportunity for Manu to attack and injure the squishy opponents, which he did. Dilip and his contract beast charged at the opponents, inflicting damage on anyone in their path. Because there was a fire element nearby, Dilip needed less mana to cast fire-related skills while doing twice the damage.

"The fight ended just as it began; calling it a fight would be incorrect; it should be called a slaughter," the commentator said as he looked at the battle.

.

Many battles took place the next day, but the opponents against All-STARS surrendered, and All-STARS received free points. "It appears that the previous fight dashed their hopes; they don't want to get hurt," said Dev.

"That's good; at least I won't have to fight pointless battles against weak opponents; I made the correct decision to crush the first guild to send a message," said Dilip.

"Have you prepared for tomorrow's semi-final, Dev? We will be against Exodia. It will be an excellent opportunity to get revenge on Vaibhav and Aditya," said Rishi.

"What's the matter with Vaibhav? Is there anything I don't know?" asked Dilip.

"We invited Vaibhav to join our guild, but he declined. Accepting or declining our offer was entirely up to him, but he humiliated Rishi and even invited me to join his guild alongside you and Dev, " replied Ajit.

"I never liked that bastard, and he appears to have grown wings since I haven't beaten him in a while. Leave him to me; I'll teach him a lesson tomorrow,"  said Dilip.

"How do you know him, Dilip?" asked Rishi.

"He was my punching bag in spear class; I always enjoyed beating him," Dilip replied, smiling.

"What punching bag?" Rishi was confused.

"He was his training partner," Ajit explained. Rishi and others burst out laughing while also feeling sorry for Vaibhav.

They all began discussing their strategy and tactics, and Rishi suggested, "Dilip, you are very lucky. Why don't you go for the coin toss from our side tomorrow?"

"It was too much trouble for me; I didn't enjoy it at all. I wouldn't have gone if it hadn't been absolutely necessary," Dilip replied with a bored expression.

"No, Dilip, you're our lucky charm; we'll need you tomorrow. It's our most important battle," said Dev. Ajit was perplexed at first when he heard this strange request from Rishi and Dev, but he decided to ask them later and play along for now.

"Yes, Dilip, you are our star; only you are worthy of representing us," Ajit stated.

"Guys, stop it. I'm not that great. You're embarrassing me. I'll help you one more time," Dilip said.

.

The next day, the stadium was packed, with everyone excited for the battles. Today's main events were Exodia vs. All-STARS and Mineva vs. Cyclops.

Mineva vs. Cyclops was the first battle. "Guys, please welcome Cyclops," the commentator said. Cyclops members emerged from the smoke one by one. They were all dressed in their guild uniform, which was distinct from the jerseys of the other guilds.

Following the Cyclops' entrance, Mineva followed with their previous type of entrance; the commentator questioned Kajal and the Cyclops' captain. Mineva had a similar team composition in this battle, whereas Cyclops had a unique team composition consisting of a tank, knight, archer, mage, and assassin.

The referee asked both captains to toss a coin; Kajal won the toss and decided to stop the Picker Wheel. The captain of the Cyclops spun the wheel while Kajal stopped it; this fight would take place on water ground, which was both good and bad news for Mineva.

The Fire element was a disadvantage for the Mage of Cyclops and Sakshi Agastya but a boon for Kajal; the wet battlefield prevented opponents from dodging her attacks.

Both teams entered the battle arena and stood on opposite sides of the arena, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. The battlefield had wet ground all over it, with a large water pool in the center, which was not very deep, but it was enough to decrease the movement of players and make fire spells less effective.
