Chapter 60: The Beach 4
By the 4th wave, a large part of the group was dead, well to be precise only Samael's and Luka's teams were left alive and the other two teams were already dead. The sky was pitch black with occasional lightning here and there.
It was already raining quite heavily as the army of yellow grade beasts marched through the sea and this time they weren't alone.
Behind them were 5 sea generals with a green aura mixed with yellow indicating their higher grade.
And with heaven-defining roars, they marched right at the beach and once again started the slaughter.
This time the beasts were even more crazed than the previous times, they no longer avoided Samael and Luka and charged right at them without any fear of death.
Samael didn't faze at the sight of the enemy and without much consideration of his surroundings displayed his terrifying powers for the first time as he lifted both his hands and a sea of fire poured right out.
Within seconds the whole sea was on fire all the contestants couldn't help looking astonished at Samael but he wasn't done yet.
All the beast including the generals have turned to ashes but he still didn't stop the fire. Everyone thought it was weird but the next second they heard the deafening wails coming from the sea, and they saw an even more unbelievable sight.
Samael's fire was eating the sea. As if two living beings had collided Samael's fire was consuming the water and the rain and as if in pain the sea was wailing.
Seeing the large sea slowly disappear and become a lake Aurora finally reacted as she jumped out of her seat and started shouting at Samael.
"Stop, STOP."
But Samael directly ignored her and continued to devour the sea that had shrunk like a scared child.
Out of options, Aurora could only turn to Morana for help with teary eyes.
"Big brother stop him hmm? I will count it as you clearing the game just tell that ...sob...big...sob...meany to stop...sobbb."
After getting what she wanted Morana motioned Samael to stop and without bothering about the various astonishing gazes he received he stopped the fire and returned to Morana's side.
All this happened so quickly that no one had time to react, while Samael, as if nothing happened, once again picked Morana up and started walking out of the 6th game arena.

10 minutes
"Fu*k" Finally someone reacted to what happened, even Aurora just stood there while Morana and Samael disappeared from everyone's sight.
The lake was still whimpering in what was once a large sea.
"Arnav." Called Aurora tenderly at the lake.
The next second the lake lit with the warm blue light and soon at its place stood a young child that looked just like Aurora. With beautiful blue hair and eyes the only difference being his shy attitude.
His beautiful blue eyes were filled with tears as he plunged straight into Aurora's arms and started crying ignoring everyone around.
"Arnav don't cry, look the big meany is gone don't cry or you will go blind like my future husband." While Aurora could swear she was trying to comfort the poor Arnav, her methods resulted in another round of speechless gazes and even louder cries from the poor child.
While on the beach everyone was experiencing a touching moment not too far away, Morana and Samael were discussing the previous events.
"So?" She asked.
"Just as you said the sea was in fact, a water spirit that was corrupted with a huge amount of dark mana, After absorbing it my situation has improved greatly." Said Samael with a proud look, while "please praise me" was written all over his face.
Unfortunately, his opponent was none other than the honorable ancestor "don't care" and honorable ancestor "Millennium ice's" ancestor herself.
(So, no praises for you Samael but you can have cookies with the flavor of "Abandoned in the rain" or "puppy eyes." T_T)
After some time the other members finally caught up with Morana and Samael. Their looks couldn't be more apparent, their eyes were practically screaming curiosity whenever they looked at Samael.
Even Zoel and his friends couldn't help giving Samael a few meaningful looks.
As always Zoel managed to break the awkward situation and took the lead in starting the conversation as he opened the district map that showed all the game arenas.
"So, we have already cleared 5 games out of 8, and only 3 are left, but 2 of them are the hardest ones while the third game is the easiest. The 7th game arena is the nearest to us but 1st isn't that far away as well, so which one should we clear first?" He asked everyone and waited for them to express their opinions.
His question brought everyone to reality. They knew they weren't in the situation to be detectives and let their curiosity run wild.
"I think it's better to clear the 7th game arena first, anyway we can't avoid doing it so we might as well get this one from out of our way. if we go after the 1st game arena, we will lose more time going back and forth, as we will have to pass 1st game arena from 7th to 8th arena anyway so we might as well follow the order." Said Zoel as he pointed at the map.
"Also, by large probability we are in the lead compared to other contestants and even if we take longer to clear the 7th game arena it's still worth it."
His opinion was simple and logical, so no one had any objections. They decided to rest for a bit and organize their thoughts and started their journey to the 7th game arena "Treasure hunt."
