Supreme Warlock System : From Zero to Ultimate With My Wives-Chapter 291: Floating Battlefield [Part 2]

Warlock Ch 291. Floating Battlefield [Part 2]

Selena had done the same, her own island shimmering with violet energy. She glanced toward him, nodding. "So far, so good."

But Damian wasn't convinced.

Because now, the real test began.

Off in the distance, another contestant—some fire mage-looking guy—landed on an island and immediately began fortifying it, raising barriers of flame around him. Another, a heavily armored warlock, was already preparing defensive spells.

But others?

They weren't sitting still.

Damian saw it happen within moments—one warlock lunged for another's island, a brutal fight breaking out as spells erupted between them. The battle didn't last long. The weaker contestant was blasted off their island, sent tumbling into the abyss below, disqualified instantly.

Damian whistled lowly. "Well, damn. That was fast."

Selena tensed. "We can't get comfortable. We need to stay mobile."

He was about to respond when the battlefield shifted.

A surge of energy crackled in the sky.

"WARNING: MANA STORM INCOMING!"

Damian's eyes flickered upward just in time to see a massive storm of raw, chaotic mana forming above one of the islands. The air crackled with unstable magic, tendrils of energy twisting violently before surging downward.

-BOOM!

The island was obliterated.

The contestant standing on it barely had time to react before they were swallowed by the blast, their scream lost in the chaos as they were erased from the battlefield.

Selena exhaled sharply. "That's brutal."

Damian grinned. "Oh yeah. This is gonna be fun."

Selena shot him a look. "You're insane."

"You knew that already."

As they spoke, movement caught Damian's eye.

Three contestants had locked onto Selena's island.

Selena saw them too. "Great."

Damian smirked. "Looks like you've got company."

She sighed. "Fantastic."

The three warlocks moved quickly, sending blasts of energy toward her island, trying to force her off. Selena dodged, flipping through the air as she avoided incoming attacks, landing back on her territory with precision.

Damian watched for a moment before sighing. "Guess I should help."

He raised a hand, dark energy crackling between his fingers.

With a flick of his wrist, [Dark Bolt] shot forward, slamming into one of the approaching warlocks, sending them stumbling back.

"HEY!" The warlock snarled.

Damian grinned. "Sorry, she's taken."

Selena shot him a glare. "Don't say it like that."

The warlocks weren't amused.

One of them, a tall guy with white runes glowing along his arms, raised his hands. "You're gonna regret that."

Damian arched a brow. "Doubt it."

And with that, the real battle began.

Damian barely had time to smirk before the first spell came flying at him. A bolt of crimson energy streaked across the battlefield, aimed directly at his chest. Without missing a beat, he raised his hand and activated [Shadow Barrier], the air around him shimmering as the attack harmlessly dissipated against his shield.

Selena, on the other hand, had already launched into action. With a burst of agility, she flipped backward, avoiding an arc of lightning that nearly singed the air where she stood. She twisted mid-air, landing gracefully on the edge of her island before narrowing her eyes at her attackers.

Damian cracked his knuckles. "Alright, guess it's time to start thinning the competition."

Selena shot him a wary glance. "Just don't go too crazy."

He grinned. "No promises."

One of the attacking contestants, a warlock in dark blue robes, summoned spectral chains that whipped toward Damian with startling speed. The moment they got close, Damian extended his hand.

[Dark Chains]

The air trembled as his own chains materialized, clashing against the enemy's, wrapping around them like serpents before yanking the warlock off balance. Damian flicked his wrist, sending the poor bastard flying straight off the island.

"Contestant Eliminated!"

Damian barely heard the notification over the wind howling around them.

Selena, meanwhile, had taken on two opponents at once. One—a dagger-wielding combat magi—was fast. Too fast. He flickered in and out of sight, dancing around her in quick bursts of movement, looking for an opening. The other, a bulky warlock with glowing runes tattooed across his arms, was already gathering mana for a heavy attack.

Selena's instincts flared.

She ducked just in time as the magi's dagger sliced through the air where her throat had been moments ago. Without hesitation, she slammed her elbow backward, catching him in the ribs and sending him stumbling.

But the second opponent had finished charging his spell.

"Too slow."

A massive surge of mana erupted toward her. A compressed explosion of raw force.

Damian moved.

[Void Rift]

Reality itself seemed to bend as a void opened before Selena, swallowing the attack before it could reach her. The warlock's own energy twisted in the rift before Damian redirected it—straight back at him.

-BOOM!

The contestant was blown off the island.

Selena exhaled sharply, throwing Damian a glance. "I had that."

"Sure you did, Princess."

She scoffed but didn't argue.

They barely had time to breathe before the battlefield shifted.

"WARNING: MANA STORM INCOMING!"

Both Damian and Selena snapped their heads toward the sky.

Above them, energy churned, violent and unpredictable. The storm was coming fast, and— Damian's eyes widened.

Selena's island was glowing.

"Selena, move!"

She turned just in time to see the crackling mana zone directly above her. The unstable energy twisted violently, glowing brighter.

Then it struck.

-BOOM!

Selena leapt, barely making it as her island was ripped apart by pure destruction. The explosion swallowed it whole, the debris flung into the abyss.

Damian didn't think.

He moved.

[Spectral Surge]

The speed boost hit his muscles like fire as he lunged, catching Selena midair. She gasped as he pulled her close, twisting midair to land smoothly on his own island.

For a second, neither of them spoke.

Then Damian smirked. "Told you to pick a better island."

Selena glared at him. "Shut up."

They didn't get a moment to recover.

A guttural roar echoed through the battlefield.

From the mana storm, monsters began descending.

Damian tensed. "Of course they throw monsters at us."

Selena exhaled. "At least it's not more assassins."
