"So, Our very first match is a royal rumble!" Yoo Soohyun announced, looking around the 2,000 audiences presented in the stadium. With 173 V.I.P rooms at the top.

While, she stood in a huge field reaching around 3,000 sq ft. That was plain all over, an orb shaped barrier covering the field. Audiences watched inside the field from outside.

It was a great view. While, people all over the globe were watching this tournament on their television, phone or public televisions.

"What, Royal Rumble? Are they making a group of S-rank Hunters fight at once?"

"Can this barrier hold onto their battle?"

Many questions and doubts emerged in the audience.

"Please, You don't have to worry about the barrier strength. Because of the barrier we are using. It Was created by my master, Lord Alard himself. And… If you still won't believe it. I'm sure you will believe the words of the guests we have today…"

"... Please, with a huge round of applause. Let us invite Mr. Thomas Andre and Mr. Liu Zhigang! Both of them being the 1st and 2nd world strongest Hunter!" Yoo Soohyun announced with a bang. When, the gateway from the west opened.

*Loud Applauds!

*Shout!

Many roared and cheered for Thomas and Liu Zhigang entry. While waving their hands. They walked in the field.

"Welcome, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Liu to our guilds tournament." Yoo Soohyun greeted, both the National Hunters.

"Yes, thank you for calling us. And, like she said. I can prove that this barrier is strong enough to withstand all the S-ranks' attack. I can even boldly say that this barrier is more solid than that of Yuri Orloff." Thomas said, shocking everyone in the stadium.

"What? Stronger than that of Russian Hunter Yuri Orloff?" Many were surprised by this declaration.

"Yes... But, where is Alard? I can't see him?" when Liu Zhigang asked, looking around. He couldn't see Alard anywhere.

"Oh, Lord Alard will soon be arriving. We have prepared a private room for you two." Yoo Soohyun answered, calling over some of the guild members. She ordered them to lead them to their private room.

Soon…

Leaving the field with their escorts.

"So, let us first call all 169 Hunters to the field! This will be round 1. The elimination round…"

"...The one who will leave the red line in the field. Will be eliminated from this round." Yoo Soohyun spoke, pointing out a circular line. Circling the field

When all gates around the field opened, a huge crowd of armoured Hunters began swarming the field.

*Crowd cheering

There were many well-known Hunters in the crowd. Nakia being among the crowd.

…

*Crii!

Opening the door. Alard entered the room, Thomas, Gunhee and Liu Zhigang chilling in their given seat. They watched the royal rumble taking place in the field, a drink in their hand.

"Haha! See that guys. He is from my guild, look he is too! He also is..." Thomas laughed, pointing out his guild members. Liu Zhigang and Chairman Gunhee carrying a weird expression, hearing his rambles.

"Hello, Mr. Thomas, Chairman Gunhee and Zhigang." Alard said, greeting both of them. They also turning toward Alard.

"Oh! Mr. Alard you are finally here."

"You are finally here, Hunter Alard."

"Hola, Alard."

"So, How far are you enjoying this tournament?" Alard then asked. He watched over the field. Where he saw Cha Hae-In destroying the Hunters nearby.

*Swish!

*Swish!

*Slash!

"It is wonderful… We haven't even seen so many S-ranks fighting in the same ring. Though, I must say. Your barrier is quite solid. Even my full punch couldn't shake the barrier." Thomas praised his barrier. Alard giving him a smile, Chairman Gunhee also took pride in this compliment.

'No shit! What do you think this barrier is? I sacrificed nine thousand human souls, for building this barrier.'

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas. It indeed is the best barrier all over the world." Alard said, looking over the sparkling attacks of S-rank Hunters in the field.

"Oh! By the way. Alard, who is that guy? He could probably be one of the strongest Hunters out there in the field." when Liu Zhigang asked, pointing toward a jet blacked hair man. He was swinging his long sword, lighting and more lighting summoning from his sword.. everytime he swung his sword.

"He is Sung Jinwoo, Mr. Liu Zhigang." Chairman Gunhee replied.

"Oh! So, he is that Sung Jinwoo guy. The 12th S-rank of Korea." Thomas Andre exclaimed, looking carefully toward Sung Jinwoo. His eyes widened.

"What..!"

"Oh, So you also have noticed it. That huge army of monsters inside his shadow." Liu Zhigang said, smirking at Thomas' reaction.

*Cough!

"Yeah, That indeed took me by surprise." Thomas coughed, when all four presented in the room were aware of an unknown person watching the tournament.

'Who is he? He is strong.' both Thomas, Gunhee and Liu Zhigang thought, feeling the magic power of that unknown.

…

*Kaboooom!

"Explosion!!"

"Shield Bash!" a tanker shouted. He bashed his shield, right through the explosion. Bashing the Grand Sorcerer with his shield.

*Vroooom!

"Get out of the field!" A mage shouted, summoning wolves.

"Graaa!"

"Growl!" They growled, charging forward.

*Fwoosh!

"You damn summoner. You think you can win a battle in the frontline!" An assassin said, grabbing the summoner by his hair. He yeeted him far away.

*Slash!

*Booooooom!

While Goto Ryuji slashed his sword, spitting the ground in half. Many Hunters in the range got seriously injured, making them immediately retreat out of the line.

"These weaklings are not worth my time. I need to search for stronger ones." Goto Ryuji exclaimed, his cold eyes observing the field.

*Whoooosh!

He immediately dashed toward Jaw Mills, the world 17th strongest ranked Hunter.

*Clang!

Jaw Mills sensing a dangerous force charging at him. He immediately raised his defense, blocking the sword strike of Goto.

"Heh! Aren't you a quick one?" Jay Mill smirked, smashing his fist toward Goto. He did the same, both of their first bunking.

*Whooosh!

A fierceous wind pressure hit the ground.

*Clang!

*Cling!

Cha Hae-In clashed her sword against her enemies. Their sword clashes sparking fire, she used her beautiful sword art. That looked like a dance.

She was titled The Dancer for nothing.

"Quake of Provocation!" Cha Hae-In used her ability, stabbing her sword into the ground, creating a small quake. She injured many Hunters, when quickly using her Enhanced Speed.

"Kugh!"

"Kah!"

She began knocking out many Hunters.

*Spark!

*Fwoooosh!

"Fire Spears!" Choi Jong-In, conjuring many flames. He shooted his fire spears.

*Boooom!

*Boooom!

"Barrier!" A tank, using the barrier. Quickly blocked the fire spear, when soon more fire spears were shot toward him.

*Swooosh!

*Cling!

"Dual Blade Attack!" Kanae Tawata using her dual blades. She fought, clashing her baldes against the enemies.

"Damn it! You slippery bitch!" A figther grunted, when a kick landed right in his mouth, crushing his mouth.

"Who ya' callin a bitch?" Kanae Tawata said angrily. When, a dangerous aura landed behind her.

*Slash!

*Leap!

Quickly leaping behind. She dodged the sword attack.

"You damn sneaky bastard!" Kanae grunted, lunging forward. Her eyes glowing red.

*Bam!

*Wham!

"Charge!" Lennart Niermann whooped a mage with his fist. He was the world's 13th strongest Hunter.

He manifested his fist, with a pair of transparent teal-coloured gauntlets around his arm, firing off a powerful blast of energy to his teacher.

"Lennart! Damn you granny ass!" Jonas shouted. He was world 7th strongest ranked Hunter, also a Ruler vessel.

"Shut up, Jonas!" Lennart shouted, charging toward him with his fist.

*Bam!

*Kaboooom!

"Fire Bullet!" A mage casted, throwing fire bullets.

*Whooosh!

"One Slash!" Wang Chen shouted, his one Slash cutting throwing all fire bullets.

He punched the mage in her face, throwing her back.

*Boooom!

"Dagger Rush." Sung Jinwoo, throwing barrage of his dagger attack to his opponent.

*Bam!

*Wham!

He kicked the fighter in his gut, throwing him away.

*Zii Zii!

He took out his Demon King's Long Sword. Which he received from completing the Demon Castle Instant Dungeon.

*Slash!

*Ziii!

His one swing, summoned forth lighting. Gravely injuring many Hunters.

"Ahhh!"

"Grhh! Let's charge at him together!"

"Yeah! Let's team up!" many Hunters shouted. It was a common strategy in this tournament, of weaker S-rank teaming up against stronger S-ranks.

"It's futile. Stealth." Sung Jinwoo's entire body disappearing from the field. His presence also fading away.

"What! Where is he?!"

"No way? Whe— Kugh!" before the Hunter could speak. Sung Jinwoo appeared behind him, kicking him using his Enhanced Strength.

*Whamp!

"Mutilation."

*Blast!

"Elemental Tornado!" Nakia chanted, summoning a huge tornado of fire, water, lighting and earth.

*Whoooosh!

"Arghh!"

"This is unfair! She is too powerful!"

Many Hunters screamed, tornado sucking every Hunters in its range and yeeting them out of the field.

"Ice Javelins!" Nakia shot her javelins toward the Hunters in the ground. She levitating in the air

*Bam!

*Booom!

*Suuuuu!

The entire ground's temperature dropped.

"Fireball!"

*Fwooooosh!

*Kaboooom!
