Even after many eliminations, there were still lots of students running around. The number of students Alex and Abigail had run into was increasing rapidly. He was almost always engaged in combat just as he was now. As the continent shrunk, the students had begun to take notice and were heading towards the centre stage.

    Some students planned to remain at the edges and move with the shrinking continent to avoid being overwhelmed but had no such luck as many had the same idea. This created a situation where there were many students around the boundaries rather than towards the centre.

    "Surround him!"

    "That''s easier said than done. He''s too fast!"

    Even the exceptional students among them were having a hard time keeping up. They couldn''t even see his moves whenever he struck with his spear, and he wasted not more than a few seconds to finish the others off. And since the fighting was taking place in close proximity, Alex held back the use of his abilities.

    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

    Multiple explosions and clashing weapons were happening all at once as Alex zoomed past many students evading their thrown attacks, weapons and dives. He also made sure to leave a few crippled and locked in place for his partner to finish off from her vantage point.

    And unlike before where Abigail had to hide and shoot, right now she did not have that luxury and had to run around and shoot. She couldn''t stay in one place for long. The duo had agreed beforehand to pretend to be enemies to prevent her from being targeted more than necessary.

    A few minutes later, Alex and Abigail had finished off the students surrounding them. However, they could still see other students approaching from the distance as well as fights happening all over.

    "This is an actual warzone"

    Abigail stated as she looked at the chaos unfolding. With the continent shrinking, more and more students could be seen all over. Right now, they were in a large plain with short grasses that reached all the way to their knees. No trees could be seen around the plain. It was all flat lands; a stage, so to speak.

    He watched as the student got to a 50-metre distance from him and took to the skies, his spear brandished for a power throw.

    "Let''s see how much the miracle boy is worth!"

    Alex heard the boy exclaim as he launched his spear forward. The speed of the spear throw was impressive as it cut through the air, spinning on its vertical axis.

    BOOOOOM!

    The spear impacted the position Alex stood a moment before, and while the energy the spear carried was impressive, it wasn''t enough to create a large crater. Regardless, it was more than enough to take out anyone. Unfortunately, Alex was not anyone.

    Before the spear reached him, Alex jumped backwards at an angle, launching himself upwards and also brandished his spear. Without uttering a word in reply to the boy''s throw, Alex threw his spear forward, taking the boy by surprise.

    Because he was still in midair, it was difficult to evade the spear throw and the spear impaled him from the chest through to his back, instantly eliminating him. He didn''t even last a second after his domineering appearance.

    Alex didn''t relax after that and once he touched down, he dashed forward to confront the incoming wave of students. He did not plan to stay immobile while others surrounded him. That would be a stupid move on his path.

    ''The best path for me is to keep moving to avoid being surrounded. But even that is a temporary solution.'' Alex thought as he finished off the last one. More were still incoming, whenever they saw him. A quick estimate from him revealed a little over 12,000 students remaining.

    The ground was shaking continuously from the constant explosions of power and attacks. As he looked around him, he noticed the ward of light that represented the wall slowly closing in on them.

    "Huu...." He released a heavy breath and dashed forward.
