Chapter 1861

Half a day had passed, and the sacred lake tournament was about to enter the most competitive phase. Nearly forty participants from all the major families in Nontwo City joined the tournament, and Severin's party totaled eleven level nine royal saints. Other prominent families like the Lischalts and the Gahrrs four or five level nine royal saints each, while the remaining contenders represented weaker factions such as the mayor's mansion and other second-tier families. Following half a day of battling, sixteen contestants had successfully secured their advancement. Notably, eight out of Severin's eleven members had successfully progressed. Diane, Sheila, and Sofia were the only ones who failed to advance, given that they had just attained level nine royal saint. Their slightly weaker stage was therefore somewhat disadvantageous for them against opponents of the same level. However, their valiant efforts resulted in a close contest, and they would have won had luck been on their side.
