Back on the snow mountain, the two sides were facing each other.
Bergner was clearly at a disadvantage. After Marvin took Wayne on the shield and escaped, he was left facing the Thunder Tower duo alone.
His Guardian had already been beheaded by Marvin, but he wasn’t aware of this yet.
”Hey, listen.” Bergner turned, trying to move the other side, ”Didn’t your Unicorn clan contact me before?”
”But you denied us.” Celina didn’t speak, and it was the man on the side who replied while smiling.
”I agree now,” Bergner said, with a forced smile.
”We have a common enemy, those two kids from the Ashes Tower, right? Wouldn’t it be better to split up?”
He slowly prepared to retreat.
But at that time, the Gemini suddenly displayed a very painful expression, ”Aaah… Can’t you endure for a bit?”
Bergner was immediately frightened. He didn’t know what this guy was talking about.
Suddenly, a slender white foot came out of the man’s sturdy body!
A seductive woman’s voice also echoed from the spot, ”Can’t help it. How long has it been since you killed someone? Isn’t it a waste? I already can’t help but want to taste blood!”
Under everyone’s frightened gaze, a delicate woman forcibly drilled out of that man’s body!
The two people’s flesh were definitely connected! The connected part was separating like mud, or jelly.
One person turned into two under thousands of gazes.
That woman was bald with a very ugly appearance and wasn’t wearing anything. Yet she didn’t seem cold in that freezing wind.
”Zhhh!” Her nails suddenly grew, turning into extremely sharp blades!
”Why are you still stunned?” The woman urged, ”Kill him!”
The man helplessly shrugged and shook his head. The originally normal mouth turned into a toothy maw, and his muscles swelled up all over his body, as if he was turning into a demon!
Bergner’s expression was filled with fear!
‘What the hell is that thing?’
But before he could react, ”Woosh!”, that woman had rushed in front of him.
The sharp nail directly pierced his magic armor!
...
Gemini!
Everyone felt a chill wind in the three towers.
Most of the nobles knew that Marvin and his brother had provoked the Unicorn Clan and would definitely incur their retaliation.
After all, White was killed by Marvin according to the competition’s rules, so the Unicorn clan decided not to do anything under the table to uphold their face as a Wizard clan.
They chose the toughest stance, getting involved in the Battle of the Holy Grail.
The higher-ups of the Three Ring Towers didn’t intervene in that since on one hand, they didn’t wanted to be too stiff with the Unicorn clan, while on the other hand, as long as the competitors agreed, it would be allowable.
Thus everyone was very much looking forward to what kind of person the Unicorn clan would send.
The outcome made people draw cold breaths!
It was actually a Gemini!
Hadn’t this strange race disappeared from Feinan a long time ago?
How could it appear in the Battle of the Holy Grail? And with the identity of a follower!
Where did the Unicorn clan find such a terrible race?
Geminis had a cruel nature. They were born hermaphrodites, able to split in two with both halves mentally linked. When killing, their coordination was flawless.
Geminis reproduced by themselves, and new Geminis would be born from the male and female halves.
This lifeform had been slaughtered by the Wizard Alliance, mainly because most Geminis had a fanatical craving for blood.
In the current Feinan, very few of these innate killers could be seen.
”Baron Marvin is in trouble this time!”
The audience blankly looked at Bergner dying under the joint attack of the Gemini and the witch Celina and couldn’t help but worry about the brothers’ fate.
...
”Good. Now we have three keys and they also have three.”
The Gemini woman picked up the key and threw it to Celina with an indifferent expression. ”Go to the summit. I’ll take over.”
Celina didn’t complain. She had reached an agreement with the Unicorn clan. In this Battle of the Holy Grail, she would follow her follower.
She took the key and began to struggle her way up.
And the Gemini duo followed the traces left by Marvin and Wayne!
Their goal was simple: to ruthlessly kill that pair of brothers!
”Hahah… I’m already impatient,” the woman said. ”That small Wayne looks very tender and lovely.”
”The flesh on his face will surely be quite tasty…”
...
”Careful, ahead is a Snow Demon nest,” Marvin softly reminded.
After turning a corner, a few strange silhouettes could faintly be seen in the obscure cavern.
Wayne nodded.
Marvin hadn’t planned according to common sense from the start. As a veteran player, he’d lost count of how many times he passed this instance of the Battle of the Holy Grail.
He knew that there were two instances split into two ranks. The Apprentice level and the 2nd rank Wizard level had different difficulties.
