Chapter 119: Dolls (1/2)

Gath Rainripper was said as the irregular of this competition. After assassinating a bunch of participants last night, his name also gathered a lot of attention. Now everyone questioned who will be the champion in this competition! The current number of participants dropped to 800. Last night about 50 participants were killed by him.

Another day had passed and another had come. Inside the tunnel, the group continued their search for an exit.

But at this moment, Cinder mumbled some words while walking beside him.

”I taught the beast how to become a monster — I taught the beast how to become a monster…..” she mumbled repeatedly with a ghastly face.

The three people with them showed tired faces. They never thought that this guy was so crazy to burn himself in the flame. But what made it more unbelievable, he wasn't even a bit hurt by it. Is he an immortal? They asked in their minds.

Nonetheless, what made them to show suchfaces was that this guy was able to succeed in just a night! He could even summon fire now without the need of [Mana Coating] ability.

Yman was able to summon his fire like it was a part of him but he was still in the process of creating his own form of fire.

As usual, like what happened the other day, they encountered lots of monsters. However, unlike the other day, the guy with them seemed so hyper. Like a kid who got his new toy.

They were watching him with a 'can't be helped' expression on their faces. Cinder on the other hand still couldn't believe this guy. The whole process of creating a deep connection with his element was done in one night! Whereas she did it for her whole life. On top of that, she was a genius from the Lupine family.

However, the person beside her was just too much for succeeding in just a night. He was above her comprehension level.

Sigh. She gave up thinking about it and let a breath permit her mouth.

Her nose picked more presence ahead. Before she readied herself for the coming battle, a deform fire was shot ahead. And followed by an explosion then howls of pain followed closely.

”Ahahaha…” she laughed descendingly. 'Looks like this guy was not too excited right?' She thought.

For the whole day, they were advancing to search for the exit. They encountered fork passages that they had to change the route a couple of times.

Many monsters were on their way, but each of them was no ordinary magician.

Yman on the other hand felt so excited with the new strength of his fire element. With this, he was finally able to fire a long-range attack! But he was not satisfied with it. He needed the last aspect, which is the aspect of 'own'.

Another night blanketed the world in painting. It was the third night.

Yman was sitting on top of a big boulder of rock. His whole being was being illuminated by the moonlight coming from the hole on the cave ceiling.

He was in a meditation posture while his hands were enveloped by fire. He needed to concentrate and create his 'own' fire. Cinder just finished giving him some tips and now she was sitting beside the bonfire about 200 steps away from him. She probably was tired. This afternoon they were surrounded by hundreds of Rank A beast. Known as [Gnoll]. Everyone did their best. The battle had lasted for 1.5 hours.

It caused unwanted attention from the other monsters. And more came to join. She must have exhausted her mana. Not only her, but even the three people with them weren't in good shape also.

Aegor was slightly better than the other two.

A piece of dry root was thrown and landed on the fire, then blaze in a second. ”Lady Cinder, it's better for you to take a little rest. To properly regenerate your lost mana,” Aegor suddenly spoke after feeding the fire.

Her eyes were fixed on the person sitting on top of the boulder a couple of steps away from them.

Cinder turned her eyes to the bonfire, ”No, I'm still fine, Mr. Aegor. You perhaps should take your rest. Especially now that our tank was being ruled by excitement and changed his role into a range type magician. It is not good if our only vanguard is enfeebled in the battle. Please do take care of yourself,” She politely replied.

”Fufufu, don't mind me Lady Cinder, I wish to tire myself out for my near promotion,” he replied with a tinge of excitement.

Cinder gasped in a slight surprise. ”Wow, do you mean The False Path? Hehe, congrats in advance to you Mr. Aegor!” Cinder exclaimed.

”Yeah, it is. Thank you Lady Cinder.”

”Mhm.”
