Chapter 140: End of the Trial
Chapter 140: End of the Trial
" Athan! " Mike was overjoyed seeing Athan as now they could have each other's back in this trial. He was surprised that Athan could use his powerful chakrams here.
Boji's face once again changed as panic appeared in his eye.
Athan was also relieved to have found Mike safe and sound, but he was surprised when he saw the person together with Mike.
" Athan, we three can now work together, and nobody will be able to kill us in this trial, and we might even get good rewards. "
Hearing this, Athan shook his head while smiling and said to Mike, " Kill him. "
Boji was sweating because he knew that he was doomed and cursed his rotten luck.
He knew that he was no match for Athan since he also knew that No.27, who is a top rank, is none other than Athan.
" Little brother...We are all from the same race, and I am even your senior. Shouldn't we work together in this tough situation? " With an unnatural smile, he spoke while sweating buckets. He couldn't even attack them because of the contract.
Mike had already created a distance between him and Boji when Athan said to him, " Kill him. "
Seeing that Athan had no intention of sparing him, Boji roared and used a skill: Meteore Shot at Athan before running away.
When Mike heard his roar, He thought Boji would fight, but he was dumbfounded to see him running away after just attacking once.
But unfortunately for him, Athan's Chakram found its way to him and took his life.
Athan then looked at Mike and explained calmly, " Due to contract, They can't harm us directly or indirectly, but they still know about our situation, and we are the cause for the adjustment in this trial..." His face then turned serious, and he said, " They didn't help us out of kindness which you already know. They were just greedy about our Genome Arts and were waiting for us to die.? "
Miked grinned and said, " I understand, bro. What you did is right. I also forgot that they couldn't harm us and was scared a bit since the people here obviously have more experience than us in fighting. "
Athan nodded with a smile hearing him, and said, " Now that I have found you, I'm gonna try to bring the ladies out. If they can stay here without tokens, then we can all work together and finish the trial with a good score. And rewards are bound to be good since many people are eager for the trials. "
Mike nodded as he saw Athan disappearing.
Inside the special space, Athan extended his soul energy towards Tiana and others as he also had talked with them and knew that Athan was going to bring them out.
After extending his soul energy, he willed and left the space along with ladies.
Mike saw Athan and others appearing once again, and everyone heard a voice.
[ Anomaly detected ]
[ Adjusting ]
[ Adjusting ]
[ Three new participants will take the place of the empty slots. No.07, No.15, No.24 ]
...
On the scoreboard, No.07, No.15, and No.24 once again appeared.
" Let's goooooo..."
Mike laughed and spoke seeing that it worked out.
Afterward, Athan and others started moving and killed the level three beasts.
Athan could make them near death so that others could kill them.
He was already at Top rank with a score of 150 as he had killed all the level 2 beasts that appeared in front of him while he was finding Mike.
[ Scoreboard ]
No.27--->180
No.22--->110
No.01--->110
No.12--->100
...
Athan and others were moving fast to encounter more Level 3 breasts, and they were also rapidly killing them due to Athan's chakram. And he also bought a new spell which made it easier to kill them.
[ Terror Bound ]
- Cost: 20 mana
-Medium damage, High control. Dark chains bound the target to restrict their movement while seeping poison of paralyzing and nerve numbing in them.
This skill cost him 120 points, and it really worked well with his chakram.
It also seems like if you buy powerful skills that cost more points, Their mana consumption gets decreased instead of increasing, so nobody uses their previously bought skill anymore.
A level 3 Emerald Flame Lion beast and a level 3 magma crocodile appeared in front of them.
Athan used dark chains, which instantly shot towards the two-level 3 beasts and bound them.
They became unable to move due to poison for 5 seconds.
But it was enough as Athan threw his chakrams to make them half-dead before Avelia and Qerin killed them.
At the same time, They also heard the announcement voice.
[ Participant no.01 has been killed by participant no.22 ]
[ participant no.30 has been killed by participant no.11 ]
[ Level 4 beast will appear now. ]
Everyone heard the notification and guessed that participant no.30 had yet to kill the level 3 beast since the stage was not going up, but now that he was killed, the difficulty finally went up after 6 hours.
Athan and others didn't care as they started moving like usual. They were unafraid of any challenges since five people working together with advantages like Athan's powerful chakrams was overkill against anyone.
After moving for a while, Athan and others finally encountered Level 4...beasts.
Not one or two but five.
All five wolf-like beasts looked the same, but it was clear as day that despite their 3 meters tall and 5-meter long body. Their aura was powerful.
They howled simultaneously as all of them speedily approached Athan and the other in lightning-fast speed while actually leaving behind afterimages.
Athan knew that this was a dire situation, so he took everyone inside the special space.
The level 4 wolves' speed turned out to be faster than they expected, and if they stayed in the group, someone would be definitely injured since they didn't buy any defensive skills.
This time, Only Athan and Mike left the space as they sneaked attacked the wolves.
They attacked two wolves and seriously injured them before coming back to space, and when other wolves were confused, they once again came out and attacked the remaining wolves.
The seriously injured wolves were easy to kill, so Athan and others got 40 scores each.
" I think that whatever this trial is, It has its own mind or sentiment mechanism because...It's adjusting. "
Indeed, It was adjusting by changing or adding things to make it balanced and fair.
Suddenly, everyone looked at their left side as they heard the sounds of footsteps.
Surprisingly, They saw three humans, and one of them was Rehan.
The other humans beside Rehan were one man and one lady.
The man and lady were surprised to see Athan and others. But Rehan panicked seeing Athan but more so when he saw Mike and others.
Athan acted decisively and speedily as he threw one of his chakrams towards Rehan, whose face changed as he tried to dodge.
But Athan was not just standing. Right after he threw his first chakram, He threw his 2nd chakram, which sealed Rehan's fate.
The remaining man had a shocked look due to this development. He had short blue hair and a slim build.
While the woman who had an alluring body with long wavy ash-blond hair created a distance between the man and Athan's group as she leaped back.
' Are they together? ' Erina thought.
She didn't know anyone here and just made a group with these two men survive against another group of Grakil race who were hunting other participants.
The man with short blue hair looked at Athan deeply and said, " My name is Zaril. I don't know why you had to kill a fellow human in this trial, and I am not planning to ask. But I hope you can let me travel with you because a group of 3 Grakil race members is especially keen on hunting other participants. "
The woman also figured out that they were not together and made the same request to Athan and others.
Athan looked at Tiana and others as they talked telepathically and decided to let them join their group.
Zaril and Erina bowed and thanked them before everyone started to move together.
[ Participant No.04 is killed By Participant No.22 ]
[ Participant No.05 is killed by Participant No. 22 ]
[ Participant No.16 is killed by Participant No. 22 ]
Athan and others were sure that No.22 was moving with a group, and they were feeding No.22 to increase his score.
But He was still beneath Athan.
They moved and encountered two Level 4 beasts as Athan and Mike killed them.
They also came across an Amarphy race woman, but Zaril and Erina moved fast and killed her.
[ 2 days have passed.? Shuffling will begin in 3 seconds. ]
Hearing this, Athan had a bad feeling, but he stayed calm while also telling Tiana and others to keep calm.
Zaril and Erina wryly smiled because It seems that everyone will be randomly teleported.
When one second was left, Athan took everyone inside the special space and when they once again came out, Zaril and Erina were nowhere to be seen.
" This trial just separated people who were in groups, hahaha. But it doesn't work for us. "
Mike laughed as the trial's plan was foiled.
" Indeed. Now let's continue because only 15 participants are left and once 5 participants die, This Trial will be over. ", Said Athan with a smile since he was bored of this Trial and wanted to get the reward fast.
They then started moving but encountered three level 5 beasts.
Qerin was injured due to the giant rat-like level 5 beast with wings sneak attacking her, and the attack also contained poison, so her leg was rotting.
Tiana hurriedly healed her using white gold energy while Athan, Mike, and Avelia defeated the beasts.
Afterward, Athan and Mike moved alone to attract participants because they would directly run away seeing five of them together.
Their plan worked as they came across two Grakil race members who directly attacked them.
Actually, It's natural to attack directly without wasting time.
But Athan had left his soul energy threads on Tiana and others, and when the two Grakil race members noticed the other 3 people, It was too late as they already came near Athan and Mike.
Everyone showered their skills and weapons on them as both grakil members were killed.
The ones who died were No.11 and No.12.
After a while, They encountered a Requiroar race member who died at Athan's hands, bringing an end to the trial as 20 participants died.
[ The Pandingram Trial has come to an end. The rewards will be distributed according to the scores of participants. ]
