The more he looked at the surrounding battles, the more likely was his assumption that everyone was trying to hold back.
In some cases, this was the smartest move one could make, however, most of the time it caused someone to lose needlessly while sustaining injuries that could have been prevented.
Shane was not a fan of holding back, but he saw the need to hide certain unique abilities. Revealing everything at once would allow the strongest opponents one would fightter to be vignt and fully prepared, making them lose on the element of surprise.
Despite perceiving the entire situation, Shane had decided that it was the best for him to reveal everything.
To be precise, he had already done so, and there wasn''t much that opponents who observed him vigntly didn''t know anyway.
However, inparison to before, Shane decided to modify the n he had initially wanted to pursue.
The next few rounds would decimate the number of participants by a huge margin.
If he was estimating the situation correctly, there would probably be another 20 rounds one had to fight before the Primordial tournament woulde to an end.
This was neither much nor something Shane had to be afraid of.
He would just give his best and observe everyone intently.
If someone were too strong, taking a step back and retreating was still an option.
It might be humiliating and shatter his pride, but surviving was always more important.
Now that the second round was about to start soon, Shane decided that it was important to absorb the dense and extremely pure mana in his surroundings.
The dimension in which the Primordial tournament was held could be said to be among the best Basic Primordial dimensions in terms of mana purity and density.
This allowed Shane to replenish his mana in a matter of minutes, while the Hidden Paradise''s mana absorption was draining the surrounding of mana.
Even though it attracted some attention, nobody was able to understand how Shane was absorbing mana so quickly.
As such, his Hidden Paradise was not only able to replenish the mana he had utilized but also increase the amount of mana stored within it.
Meanwhile, Shane also cultivated for a few hours with the Invincible Scimitar right next to him.
Its [Endless umtion] ability was absorbing mana continuously.
Because of all that, Shane felt as if it was possible for him to give his best in every single battle.
With a resting period of several hours that would help him refuel his mana, the only thing Shane had to pay attention to were injuries.
Preventing them was a necessity, and if everything worked properly, the amount of stored mana would increase instead of decreasing for as long as the Primordial tournament went.
Thanks to these thoughts, his mind was calm and Shane was able to enter the arena he was assigned to for the second round fight.
His opponent was another beast which didn''t even surprise him anymore.
There were two if not three times the number of beasts that participated in the Primordial tournament than intelligent races.
Nevertheless, Shane wouldn''t underestimate any kind of opponent anymore. Taking a proper look at his opponent, Shane noticed that it was a ginormous, yet slim rooster with thick mes recing its feathers.
The aura radiating from it was dominating and was strong enough to exert pressure on Cosmo that he had never felt in his entire existence before.
This was interesting but didn''t tell Shane anything about itsbat prowess.
From what he could assume, the mes were slightly weaker than Miriam''s, but at the same time, Shane felt that they were more easily controble, with fewer limitations such as mana consumption.
However, it was still advantageous that the zing rooster''s mes were less threatening than Miriam''s, otherwise, he would have lots of problems right now!
During Miriam''sprehension of the Phoenix domain, her me''s lethality increased substantially, and if he were to fight someone with a simr lethality, giving his all might not be enough.
Taking a deep breath, Shane waited for the system to initiate the start of the battle, with excitement bubbling within him.
Having fought against Miriam several dozen times during thest few weeks, Shane knew what exactly he had to pay attention to.
Nevertheless, the rooster was different to Miriam, more ferocious and seemingly desperate to enhance its bloodline.
The moment the battle started, the ze rooster turned into a poor imitation of a Lesser Phoenix as its zing wings erged before it spit out mes that targeted Shane.
Evading the mes of fire by utilizing the [Light steps] movement technique continuously, Shane figured out that he had to observe everything intently.
His opponent might not be skilled in replicating a Lesser Phoenix''s image, but the dangers Shane sensed were much higher than that of the phoenix Miriam''s Phoenix domain had manifested.
This might have multiple reasons, but something seemed wrong.
It was only a momentter that Shane saw something out of the corner of his eye. The mes which the zing rooster had spit out were not dissipating, but moving towards him!
Watching them advance towards him made Shane frown before Cosmo appeared in the free hand which he had stretched out.
In a swift move, he ced Cosmo on his shoulder, who utilized the [Space Jump] ability, allowing him to emerge ten meters above the center of the arena.
The zing rooster was still far away from him, but it was astonished about the sudden ce he had appeared.
However, this didn''t stop it from attacking him relentlessly.
If the zing rooster had paid attention to what was happening, it would have noticed something dangerous.
While Cosmo had utilized the [Space Jump] ability, he had also summoned another spatial portal, which Umbra, who had emerged the moment the mes reached Shane, had used.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to miss a beast with a length of 130 meters, but apparently, that had just happened.
Even Shane couldn''t help but frown when he saw this because it was ridiculous for a warrior to be blind to what went on around it when fighting a battle.
Yet, instead ofining about it, he simply used the advantage he gained from this.
The second spatial portal had moved Umbra towards the back of the arena, right behind the zing rooster.
This had allowed him to manifest darkness spears all around his lengthy body.
It didn''t take the zing rooster long before it noticed that something was wrong, but the moment it turned towards Umbra''s direction, it realised that it hadmitted a fatal error.
Several dozen highlypressed spears of darkness had been shot straight into the rooster''s body.
Except for the thick mes enveloping the zing rooster tightly, its defensive capabilities were notparable to those of an Overlord beast.
However, the zing rooster''s attacks were!
Shane was still facing several whips of mes, which was what he called them, evading them by twisting his body and Cosmo''s spatial portals that served their purpose of being an asset!
Blood gushed out of the numerous wounds Umbra''s spears of darkness had inflicted onto the zing rooster.
The moment the zing rooster cried out in pain, Shane sensed his opportunity. Cosmo knew what he wanted to do, thus he quickly manifested a Spatial portal. It let them emerge right above the zing rooster that was facing Umbra.
With the Invincible Scimitar in one hand, Shane utilised every means possible to strengthen his body, and the Invincible Scimitar as a sly smile appeared on his face.
"Sorry buddy, it''s over!"
With these words, Shane shed out with the Scimitar that glowed faintly.
