As a girl with red hair and a boy with spiky black hair were about to start the first fight of the tournament, some of the people in the stands were giving their opinions regarding the situation.
"Huh,This first fight isn't really that interesting..."
"Yea,Both of them are just 3rd origins and also hail from a 3rd rate Clan,I don't expect much from this fight,but to be honest,That's probably going to apply for most of the fights anyway..."
"Yea,I just want to see Seyrryu and Anneliese fighting, Zetten and Vyncent would be interesting as well..."
"To be honest,what I'm interested in is watching the Asura abilities in action,this is a very rare opportunity..."
"Now that you mention it,I wonder how his performance will be,Asura abilities are very rare and unconventional,that might give him a slight advantage..."
"We'll just have to wait and see..."
...
The moment the battle started,the red haired girl decided to cast a spell, after she did that,an "Altar" was manifested,An "Altar" is the point in which Immortals Battle for strings of Eternity.
When Immortals Battle with spells,they will be given three strings of Eternity to fight over.
The one who managed to get more strings would have their spell be of higher rank.
The Ranks are III,II,I and Nulla.
The way immortals battle for strings resemble a boardgame called Schach,both parties would be given certain characters and they would have to get rid of the opposing characters,the characters are ꦮ ꦎꦴ ꦛ ꦄꦼꦵ ꦥ ꦈ ꦌ ꦤꦁ ꦿ .
If one managed to get rid of the opposing ꦄꦼꦵ then their spell would be of III rank while the opposition will have their spell be of nulla rank,if one managed to get rid of half of the opposing characters then their spell would be of II,rank while the opponent's spell will be of I rank.
If one's spell is of the nulla rank then that spell will take no effect and if it is of the I rank then it will take little effect.
This system was created by Justice,the 2nd Asura that lived around 21 thousand years ago, before this system,the powers of spells depended on someone's talent, Justice who was someone untalented that managed to rise with his own efforts disliked this fact and therefore procured ways to make the fate system more fair, Eventually he managed to Create this new system which he based off his favorite game, Schach.
Justice also Extracted the 8th spell from the Eternity of all Immortals,He did this because the 8th spell wasn't one that he could make less dependent on talent.
Although it's said that some few special Immortals can still cast the 8th spell,but no one knows if that's true or not.
The Eternity of Immortals could be said to be an amalgamation of the efforts and wills of many different Immortals,it has evolved over the Years and may still change yet again if someone comparable to the Great Immortals of the past appears and imparts their will into Eternity.
The reason why Immortals can change the Eternity,is because all the separate aspects of Eternity are located in The soul realm, therefore changes to certain parts of the soul realm will result in changes to the Eternity.
The different characters had their own distinct features,ꦮ moves one position forward and captures diagonally one position forward.
ꦎꦴ moves any number of positions horizontally or vertically.
ꦛ moves two positions in one direction and one position perpendicularly,it is able to jump over other pieces.
ꦥ moves any number of positions diagonally.
ꦈ moves any number of positions diagonally, vertically or horizontally.
ꦄꦼꦵ moves one position in any direction.
The other Characters can't move and are only there to be captured.
...
In the Altar that just occurred,the red haired girl managed to win completely and chose to cast Iahmen,once she did that,The spiky haired boy became unable to move, right after,The girl Sacrificed an Avatar to use her Active inheritance ability,This ability of hers was one that could only be used if the opponent can't move,this was the reason she chose to cast Iahmen.
In this tournament,it was necessary to sacrifice an Avatar unlike in the trainings.
Right after she paralyzed the opponent,his vitality started being consumed at fast speed,soon,he turned into blue sparks,his soul went back to the physical world,he could choose to enter the separate dimension again to check on the rest of the battles.
The red haired girl got out of the Arena as Annabelle announced her victory, some of the people in the stands were left disappointed with the short battle.
"Eh,so quickly?..."
"Well, Battle between Immortals are like that, sometimes it lasts for hours and sometimes ends very quickly,it all depends not only on the power level of the Immortals but also on how their abilities interact with each other."
"In this situation, considering how quickly his vitality was consumed,I believe she probably had a requirement that was quite harsh..."
...
After their battle,many other youths faced off before it was Veangeance's turn,His opponent was a youth with monk like clothing,he was the senior brother who previously reprimanded his junior brother.
He was from the Samsara clan,one of the most powerful 2nd rate Clans,the only reason they didn't qualify to be a 1st rate Clan was because they didn't have an Ancient.
"Greetings fellow Immortal, before we start,I just wanted to express my admiration towards you, choosing the Asura Succession is something only the most ambitious are willing to do,May our battle be fortunate.
Amethaya."
The youth bowed before assuming a battle stance,it resembled a Muay Thai stance from Earth.
" I personally would prefer to fight only with martial arts, I've heard that you became a disciple of the Nameless Slave, therefore I assume you are willing to accept my proposition?"
" Alright."
The youth's proposition was beneficial for Him,the youth was someone who had a 2nd Origin,he was a genius himself despite always having a humble bearing,if they engaged in a full powered battle, Veangeance would be in a disavantage because of his origin,but the Origin had no impact on the power of Aura, it's main purpose is to improve the Ascension capacity of the Immortal and to decide how powerful the avatars that they can sacrifice are.
Veangeance also assumed a Muay Thai stance,his stance was Southpaw while the youth who's name is Bhodi had a Orthodox stance.
After the professor spoke to them,their battle started with the monk jumping forward to reach him.
