The high death rate definitely looked scary, and quite a few people balked at it. However, some spoke up about it.“In the last battle, three entered and two died while one was heavily injured. It really is not very worth it, but that was a special situation. Normally, only one participant will die. The others who survive might be injured, but it would not be too bad. Just look at the rewards! Of course, there will be a lot of people signing up!"That person was right, and he was quite objective in his comments as well. The last battle really had been a complete waste, but it was a special situation in the grand scheme of things. The death rate was usually at around thirty percent. After all, only three could participate in every round.On top of that, the incredible rewards were plain for all to see. It caused quite a few warriors to be tempted. Any warrior that was confident in themselves would definitely consider participating.The one who had been complaining said again, "Don't
It would be suicidal of him if he signed up to fight…but he could not help himself. After all, his abilities were limited. If he had not won the previous bet, his total fortune would not even have amounted to five million. How could 150 million not sway him?Marth was the same as well, but he was always more composed and rarely showed his emotions.Fane turned to glance at the two of them. Even if he did not ask, it was easy to tell what they were thinking.Seeing the look Fane gave them, the two of them felt bashful. It was as if their greed was written all over them and exposed to others. Their awkwardness made them feel lost, not knowing what to do.Fane laughed and said, "There's no need to be like this. That kind of reward would persuade anyone, after all. However, you need to know your place. If you're impulsive, you'll end up paying a price you can't afford."The two of them nodded vigorously, and Lourain sheepishly replied, "I know it's a bit of a joke to have these though
"Of course, you need to be able to obtain those rewards in the first place. Only after that would you be able to purchase the treasures you need and improve your skills. As of now, you don't have the skills to reach that level at all. Joining with your current state is equal to being suicidal."Lourain was taken aback by Fane's explanation and rubbed his nose awkwardly.Fane's words washed away his impulsivity, and he had a point. He needed to be capable enough to earn those rewards, and hearing this from Fane shattered his dream. Lourain was unhappy to hear this, but he suppressed the negative feelings bubbling within him and reverted to his earlier state.The discussions around them grew louder, and after 10 minutes, the three participants would be sent into an isolated space for the challenge.Since there was a lull, Fane took the chance to observe and find out what he could. He managed to determine the rules of the Killing Hall. In truth, the rules of the Killing Hall were quit
However, the death rate never truly dissuaded many challengers. Most of them still felt the urge to fight for 150 million spirit crystals.The three of them had gone to figure out the rules upon their arrival, but they had not been able to witness how strong the three different fighters were.Lourain raised an eyebrow and said, "Fane, do you think I'd be able to defeat the silver-armored fighters? I get that I won't be able to beat the golden-armored fighter, but I can try the silver-armored fighter…"He trusted in Fane's evaluation, having witnessed his true skills ever since the Seven Deaths Array. When they were in the Capture Hall, everything Fane said proved that he was not a braggart or put himself on a pedestal. He was grounded in reality, and someone of that nature would typically be accurate in their judgment.Fane raised an eyebrow before he looked at Lourain.Lourain seemed to be looking at him with an intense look as if trying to prove something or gain his approval on
"Zelter and Looney should be equal. Well! This should be an interesting one, and Widde ain't too bad either. Maybe all of them will get the rewards."That person's thoughts gained the approval of some of the spectators. The three participants were not too far apart in skill and were among the upper echelons, even among above-average warriors. They were different from ignorant fools who had been blinded by greed; these men were confident in their skills. They felt like they would be able to win, and that the three of them would get out at the same time.Just as everyone was talking about it, the transfer array finally activated. All three of their bodies started to blur before they disappeared in front of everyone, having been sent to an isolated space and would be facing their challenges in the seven rooms.Everyone felt like those three would be different from the challengers from before and would survive all challenges. Their chances of winning should be at 70 or 80 percent.When
Marth scoffed and said, "You talk as if you're so amazing. That's not being apprehensive; it's called being careful!"You're right that sometimes, people like me do miss out on opportunities, but we're far more likely to survive. People like you who only know how to charge recklessly often die while they're looking for opportunities. What's the point of rushing in if you can't even survive? Is becoming a skeleton your final goal?"Marth seemed to be much better at arguing, and Lourain's face reddened in anger. His hands started to tremble, and he wanted to grab Marth by the collar. However, he did not dare to do anything in front of Fane, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Enough with your crap! It's not like people like me can't be careful, but it's just that people like you're careful when you don't need to be at all. People like you are just cowards!"Fane frowned as he sighed. If this continued, the two of them would be quarreling for half an hour and annoy him. Fane decided to
The steel-armored fighter thrust its black sword toward Zelter's chest.At that moment, Zelter shouted, "Die!"Flames danced around him, and he looked like the king of flames at that moment. The fire seeped into Zelter's sword as he let out that shout. The sword ignited as the flames went in, and the vague shape of a phoenix could be seen rising from the flames.After a moment, the fighter's sword clashed with Zelter's, and the flames intensified the moment the two swords struck each other.All of a sudden, the fire started to swallow the other sword. The flames were like rapidly growing vines. The black sword was enveloped by the flames, and an explosive force filled up the black sword.Right after that, the sound of something cracking could be heard, and everyone was surprised to notice that the black sword started to shatter just moments after it had been enveloped by the flames.Zelter took a step back, pulling away from the armored fighter.The-armored fighter lacked any in
Zelter was firmly regarded as the strongest among the three, while the other two were slightly weaker than he was. In contrast to the discussions outside, Zelter did not seem to be happy about his victory at all. Instead, he had a serious expression on his face.He clenched and relaxed his fist a few times, feeling a twinge of pain between his thumb and index finger. Even though he was not injured, it made him realize that his challenge would not go smoothly. Even though the steel-armored fighter had been killed in one blow, Zelter admittedly broke a sweat.The clash between his sword and the warrior's sword was powerful enough to cause his hand to hurt. Whether it was the steel-armored warrior or the other kinds, their skills were quite standard, but they got stronger as their level increased. The steel-armored fighter used sword aura-focused attacks, and the wave of sword aura had been stopped by his Phoenix Cry technique. However, it still caused his hand to hurt.If he had not s
