Chapter 109: The heated competition (2/2)

'What the f**k is this!' He thought.

Later on, he too joined the legendary squad.

Displayed in the other channels were the heated hunting of participants inside the world of painting.

Some were in a solo and some were in a group battle.

Most of them were busy roaming the land.

But they noticed a specific person in one of the channels having a relaxing time.

He was cooking some meat under a tree in the middle of a grassland, unbothered by the other participants who were currently busy hunting beasts or participants alike.

”That guy, he was the one who saved Miss Ella right?”

”Yeah! Eh, what's he doing?”

”Cooking…”

”Look, while the others are busy hunting for enemies, that person is busy roasting meat.”

”Haha, what the heck!”

”Does he even know the rules?”

”If he won't gather points eagerly, he can't cross the border!”

”On top of that, it's not easy to find the border!”

”You're right! Not only did they need to gather points, but they also needed to search the border. So it is better to gather points early in the match.”

The people who were watching the elimination round on the monitor were wondering why this person was leisurely cooking under the tree with a nice view and didn't hunt for points.

Inside the palace balcony, the slightly loud chuckles of the empress resounded.

”Kuku, that person, really came there for a vacation, what do you think, Rea, honey?”

”.....”

For some reason, Ella didn't know how to answer her aunt the empress. 'Did that guy even plan to win this competition? Did he think that after he saved me I am going to accept him for sure? W-Well, I-I'm grateful for w-what he did. B-But he should at least show a motivation to pass the elimination round!' She cried in her mind.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened a little, ”Wait… maybe the restrictions in that world affect his magic!” She mumbled a little louder which was heard by the empress.

”Ooh, is that so, fufufu. So that's the reason ha. That's too bad. I am even looking forward to his fight,” said the empress, a little dismay.

Ella's shoulder dropped. 'If I know it, I'd rather not put any restrictions,' she thought. Well, it was also a good test for him. But anyhow, that guy seemed to have no plan to win this competition.

Inside Miss Ice room, Almina and the others wonder if their initial thought about that person was right or wrong. If it was Yman, it was impossible that he just leisurely did nothing while the competition already started.

Perhaps it was not an ideal time to just sit there.

Almina and Maena knew him very well. He would always be too eager to take advantage of the situation. While also thinking of some ideal plan.

They all knew that if they were in that guy's shoes, they would eagerly hunt points as they only had a week to complete the mission.

Perhaps it's not easy to gather all the needed points.

If that guy was Yman, he would probably know the importance of it. But that guy on the monitor seemed like he didn't have the drive to take this competition seriously.

Around this time, inside the painting, the world was already around 5 pm.

Unaware of the discussion outside, Yman was still sitting under the tree.

He just finished a very good dinner. The foods were very realistic. No, the world itself was very realistic.

No matter how he thought about this world, he had a hard time comprehending the laws regarding the time in this world.

The sky was already dimmed, but he knew that just a few minutes had passed in the real world.

Yman drew a big cross in the ground. Then he laid on it while facing the sky.

Stars started to appear in the sky.

While staring at it, he noticed a monitoring device flew towards the direction of the east if he presumed.

He wondered how the things that happened in this world were being played in the real world. But he guessed that those monitoring devices captured the scene in very slow motion, then it played in the real world at a normal speed.

And they frequently shift the scene to cover up the time gap between these two worlds.

Really, such great magic. He thought.

Sometimes, his perception caught a human presence around him. But he just ignored them and masked his presence so as not to alarm the enemies.

As of the moment, he killed 2 rank F, 2 rank C, and 1 rank B. He stored some of their meat inside the Cyber Storage.

Rank F is equivalent to 1 point.

Rank C is equivalent to 30 points.

Rank B is equivalent to 40 points.

So as of the moment, he had 102, summing it to his 100 own points, the total is 202 points.

He needed 1000 points to cross the first border. In this regard, he needed additional 798 points.

When darkness finally blanketed the world inside the painting. Most of the participants were already hiding somewhere they could rest.

Yman on the other hand...
