Chapter 129: A teasing man (1/2)
”Damn it, I almost survive!”
”Arrgh! No way, why those demons had to show up!”
”I'm dead? Nooooooo! Give me another life! Reincarnate me in that world! I will get my revenge!”
”Urgh, I thought I would die for real.”
”Oh shit, I peed my trouser. I forgot it's not real!”
”Grrrrr, even though it wasn't real, I still could feel how those monsters gnawed my head.”
”Hey, bro, how did you die!”
”In shock!”
”Lame.”
”How about you?”
”I don't even know what they meant about demons. I was only sleeping inside a cave after I crossed the second barrier, but then suddenly I heard a loud shrill that I thought was a shrill from a girl. To my surprise, I woke up immediately, and then my head hit the protruding stone above me. And that's the end.”
”.....”
Dead participants were spawning one after another that even the welcoming squad could not barge-in to make a joke.
Since they already made jokes to themselves!!!
”Chuchuchu, look everyone! The elimination round was at its climax. Behold! Let's witness how our mighty participants handle those creatures.
Truly a magnificent sight!
Our beloved her majesty The Empress Elleanna and her Eminence The Popular Artist Miss Ella did a very wonderful surprise!
Inside the third barrier, the theme of it is as you see! Apocalyptic World! Where various monsters roaming the place, led by D-E-M-O-N-S!!!
Ahem!
At the moment, the group of Hilion and his White Leo Knights was the nearest to the last barrier.
But the group was halted to their advance because more and more monsters were waiting and guarding...
THE LAST BARRIER!!!”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!
The crowd beamed in excitement.
”Chuchuchu! The next person who was the nearest—
— Was the irregular Gath Rainripper!
Currently, he was being chased by around 10 lower rank demons. Look how he sneakily fired those needle-like raindrops of him. He truly is an amazing participant to place your bet.
However,
HOWEVEEEEEEEEEER!
The third nearest participant is our greatest-!
ROMAAAA~~~AAAAANNN!”
WOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!
ROMAN! ROMAN! ROMAN! ROMAN!
The audience chants his name!
”Look, his Artefact the Guardian Beast, the Lightning of Mayhem, like striking lightning, it's tearing every monster who comes across his way. LIKE A KING! Roman was advancing unbothered by it.”
WOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! With the instigation of the announcer Mr. Faye The Trickster, everyone's hype reverberated on the whole Public Square.
ROMAN! ROMAN! ROMAN! ROMAN!
HILION! LEO KNIIIIIIIIIGHTS!
GATH! GATH! GATH! RAINRIPPER!
Every gambler chanted their favored participants.
What's good with this kind of competition, is that the audiences could freely bet their money. So even those of lower family, if lucky, could win a huge sum.
Right now they are betting on who will enter the last barrier first, and who will be able to gather more points.
The announcer Faye The Trickster continued saying,
”Chuchuchu, just two days ago inside the world in the painting that the participant number 1500, 'The Mysterious' person was able to climb at the first spot on the ranking list of most point holders. He was followed by the Young Miss of Lupine Family! Her Highness The Shut-In Wolf Girl Lady Cinde Rayla Lupine!
HOWEVERRRRRR!
For whatever reason, these two were missing in action these past two days and their points had stopped increasing after that.
And now the new top in the ranking list is…
Number One! With the points of 15700 — The Platinum Rank Adventurer Gath Rainripper!”
WOOOOOOOHHHH! The people who were betting for Gath Rainripper boom in cheers. They mostly consisted of people from the adventurers guild.
”After assassinating multiple participants these past days in the world of painting, his points rose up higher than Roman!”
The cheers continued without stopping!
Number Two! With points of 12500 — The Mighty Roman of Hammerhelm family!
WOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!
More cheers that almost shook the entire Public Square.
Number Three! With the points of 11800 — The Younger Brother of Gustav Family — Gilion Gustav!
”Ehhhh?”
”It's not Hilion?”
”Chuchuchuchu, I know that you are going to question how the Younger Brother of Gustav Family got higher points than the Big Brother.
It's because Hilion's points are mostly shared by his teammates. And they were not able to kill many participants because most of them scuttered away at the sight of their group.
On the other hand, Gilion was sneakily killing the other participants while hunting beasts on its way.
”Fair enough!”
”So, that is the reason!”
”Right, in any case, I still believe that Hilion will able to make a comeback!”
