Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer-Chapter 365 2nd Day: Test Of Endurance

As the second day of the tournament continued, the Mortal League made way for the High-Evolutionary League. The crowd was still roaring with excitement as the contestants of the High-Evolutionary League took their positions on the field. Elise stepped forward to announce the next challenge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now moving on to the High-Evolutionary League's event for today. This is the Test of Endurance," Elise said, her voice carrying across the stadium.

The crowd hushed as they listened intently to Elise's words.

"The contestants will be transported to a location where they will face waves upon waves of enemies. Their task is to stay alive until the 10th wave. Only the top 100 contestants will proceed to the next round. This is a test of your endurance and battle prowess. Are you ready, contestants?"

The crowd erupted in cheers as the contestants of the High-Evolutionary League stepped forward, each determined to give it their all.

The contestants were transported to a large, open field surrounded by trees. As soon as they arrived, the ground began to shake as the first wave of enemies appeared. They were a group of small, green-skinned creatures, armed with swords and shields. The contestants immediately sprang into action, engaging the creatures in fierce combat.

The battle was intense, with contestants using a wide range of skills and techniques to fend off the enemies. Spells flew through the air as contestants unleashed their magical powers, while others relied on brute strength and martial arts.

As the waves progressed, the enemies became stronger and more numerous. The contestants were pushed to their limits as they fought to stay alive. Some were injured, but they refused to give up, using all their strength to fight back against the seemingly endless horde of enemies. Google search f𝐫e𝘦𝘸e𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵe𝗹． c𝑜m

Despite the intense battle, the contestants showed no signs of backing down. They fought with fierce determination, pushing through the pain and exhaustion to keep going. As the tenth wave approached, the contestants had to dig deep and give it their all to survive.

The waves of enemies looked like this:

eαglesn?νel Wave 1: The first wave of enemies was a group of goblins armed with rusty swords and shields. They charged towards the contestants with reckless abandon, their high-pitched squeals filling the air. The goblins might look weak but their cunningness couldn't be underestimated. They will fight dirty if need be, and some contestants have already fallen for their traps, causing them to suffer.

Wave 2: The second wave consisted of larger and more ferocious creatures - Ogres. The contestants had to dodge their powerful swings and strikes while trying to find openings to counterattack. Despite their hulking sizes, they are swift. They don't discriminate either, they were programmed to cause harm no matter who they faced.

Wave 3: The third wave was a group of spider-like creatures that crawled on the ground and walls, ready to strike with their sharp legs and venomous fangs. The contestants had to be careful not to get tangled in their webs. Prolonged fights against these creatures were unadvisable since they will produce off-springs which would make the contestants' lives more difficult.

Wave 4: The fourth wave was a group of trolls, towering over the contestants with their massive size and brute strength. They wielded heavy clubs and boulders, creating shockwaves with each swing. Trolls are even more brutal and ferocious than Ogres so the contestants had to brace themselves for that.

Wave 5: The fifth wave was a horde of undead skeletons, their bones rattling as they marched forward. They were armed with swords and shields, making it difficult for the contestants to land a hit without getting parried. The lucky contestants managed to find the disguised Necromancer who's bringing these things back to life. Ending the Necromancer causes this wave to end as well.

Wave 6: The sixth wave introduced a new challenge - flying enemies. The contestants had to look up to the sky and defend against harpies that swooped down to attack them with their talons. Harpies are vengeful creatures, the more you hurt them, the crazier they get. The best strategy here is to wipe them all out at once.

Wave 7: The seventh wave was a group of werewolves, their howls echoing through the arena. They had razor-sharp claws and jaws that could easily tear through flesh and bone. The contestants were faced with a pack of werewolves, and due to the ferocity of the pack as well as the accumulated exhaustion from the previous waves, many contestants were eliminated on this wave.

Wave 8: The eighth wave was a swarm of demonic imps, small and nimble creatures that could easily evade the contestants' attacks. They were armed with fireballs that exploded upon impact. Imps are devious creatures that never moved alone. They are even more cunning than goblins, they're stronger and swifter too.

Wave 9: The ninth wave was a group of minotaurs, charging toward the contestants with their sharp horns and powerful charges. They were extremely fast and difficult to dodge.

Wave 10: The final wave was a boss fight against a towering demon, standing at least twenty feet tall. It wielded a massive axe and could summon fire from its hands. The contestants had to work together to take it down, using all the skills they had acquired from the previous waves.

The final wave was the most challenging since it was a bonafide demon who uses the power of corruption. The contestants were exhausted and outmatched, but they refused to give up. They fought with everything they had, unleashing their most powerful spells and techniques.

Again, this wasn't supposed to be the challenge for the High-Evolutionary League. It was supposed to be an obstacle race, but Ashton found that boring so he suggested this instead.

In reality, the contestants of the High-Evolutionary League are all under the influence of a Dream. Ashton pulled them in there without them noticing it. And thanks to Jerry's cooperation, everybody thinks that they were actually fighting these creatures when in reality, they're not. They're just fast asleep.

Goblins, werewolves, minotaurs, and etc. None of those exist here. Well, at least not the ones that the contestants are facing. These creatures were something that was born from Ashton's imagination. They're not real per se, but within Ashton's dreams, they're as real as they could get.

He was really tempted to throw in a dragon or two in there but he stopped himself since that would be too much. Maybe in the next tournament, right now though, this was enough.

What made the contestants convinced was the feeling they got facing these creatures. They didn't look or feel like any illusion at all. The feedback they received as they fought against them was as real as it could get so nobody suspected it at all.

Besides, so what if it isn't real? Ashton was using Dream Laws with this. If he wanted to, the injuries they experienced from fighting the creatures in the Dream could be reflected in their physical bodies. That wouldn't be too hard for him to do, after all, within a Dream, Ashton was a God.

In the end, only 100 contestants managed to survive until the end of the tenth wave. The rest were either killed or forced to retreat. The survivors stood tall, their faces covered in sweat and dirt, but with a look of triumph on their faces.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause as Elise stepped forward to congratulate the contestants.

"Well done, contestants of the High-Evolutionary League! You have shown immense strength and endurance in the face of overwhelming odds. The top 100 of you will proceed to the next round of the tournament. Congratulations!"

With that, the second day of the Mystic Guild Tournament came to a close, leaving the audience eagerly anticipating what the next day's challenges would bring.

As the Test of Endurance for the High-Evolutionary League comes to a close, Elise takes the stage once again. "Wow, what an incredible display of strength and endurance from our contestants!" she exclaims. "The High-Evolutionary League's Test of Endurance was not an easy feat, but our contestants have shown that they are more than capable of rising to the challenge."

"For those who have made it through to the next round, congratulations!" she continues. "Your strength and endurance have earned you a spot in the top 100 of the High-Evolutionary League. Keep up the good work and continue to push yourselves to be the best."

Elise then turns her attention to those who were not able to make it to the 10th wave. "For those who were eliminated, do not be discouraged. You have shown great determination and bravery in the face of adversity, and we commend you for that. As a consolation prize, you will be receiving a medal of honor which can be exchanged for a one-on-one coaching session with the Grand Commanders. Use this opportunity to learn and grow as Humanity's guardians."

The crowd erupts into applause as the contestants who have made it through to the next round raise their fists in triumph. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation for what is to come on the third day.
