Chapter 141 - Lucky is Also Part of Strength. (1/2)

Krune and Ao's group weren't the only ones affected by the change on door and slot numbers. As far as Krune could see with his Divine Sense, there wasn't a single team with more than seven or eight members, and that was already very rare to see. The majority had around 3 to 5 members, just like Krune.

Both Ao and Krune's group had already decided that the best way was to fight for single slots. There was no point in trying to monopolize door slots anymore.

As expected, thanks to Krune's Divine Sense, his side found a door first. After arriving there, they found out that another two small teams were waiting. The other side looked at then, and once more, they were taken aback by the wisp in the middle of that group. Krune and the others then went to a corner and started to wait as well. He then looked at the door slots and commented.

”There are 10 slots in this one, but we are a total of 11 contestants here already. Of course, there will probably have much more by the time that the door opens.”

Shinja nodded.

”What do we do then? You and I should have no problem in securing a slot, but Tasier and especially Lofa might have some issues.”

Before Krune could even answer, Tasier cut him.

”No need to worry about me. If I can't enter a slot or defeat someone inside, then I have no right to keep advancing. Pay attention to your slots only, I don't need your help.”

Lofa came from a wealthy family, so she had her pride too.

”Tasier is right! I don't mind losing, but I do care about dragging you guys back.”

Shinja and Krune looked at each and nodded.

”Very well, then I wish you good luck.”

Back at Ao's side, they finally found a door after spending over an hour looking for one. Surprisingly, they were a lot luckier than Krune's group. Their door only had another 5 contestants even though it had been a lot longer since this floor was opened.

The door itself had 11 slots available, which means that even counting Ao's group, there are still two free ones. The other group was obviously a team as well, for them to have arrived here with 5 members shows that they aren't weak. Still, neither side did anything to the other.

In the end, Ao's group got to the same conclusion as Krune.

”Alright, it is up to our own abilities now. Try to enter a slot as soon as possible when the door activates, the outside will definitely become a battle zone since everyone will want to enter.”

Joty, Yusa, and Arlan nodded.

But who could have thought that the door activated just after they finished talking? Be it Ao or the other group on the side, they were both taken aback. This door opened a lot faster than any previous one. Still, they were delighted! They are the only ones here, and there are enough slots for all of them. So they immediately entered a slot each, and the 10 minutes countdown started.

Ao then looked at Joty's slot.

”This guy isn't only strong for someone without the Energy Meridians, his luck is also remarkable.”

Still, that was good news for his team, so he only hoped for it to continue. Lucky is also part of strength after all.
