Chapter 696: Reducing the size of the map and a thunderstorm (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
The instant Princess Tifa and Princess Tila's voices died down, the barrier surrounding the map from the corner started slowly moving inwards.
Similar the second game, 'The Maze', everything in front of the barrier was pushed forward, creating a tsunami-like wave made of different debris. The consequences of getting caught by this tsunami are undoubtedly going to be disastrous for anyone, and there is also a very high chance of them immediately dying.
Unlike the rest of the players, Leo and the others were wearing communicators. Hence, they were made aware in advance of the announcement made by Princess Tifa and Princess Tila about reducing the size of the map. And as such, they swiftly started distancing themselves from the barrier.
”Prepare everyone. This is not yet the end,” Leo warned Elmont and Osborne to remind them that reducing the size of the map is merely the beginning of the first obstacle.
”I almost forgot that every time the hosts throw an obstacle, they will also simultaneously reduce the size of the map as well,” Elmont heaves a sigh of relief.
”I really hope that the first obstacle wouldn't affect us greatly,” Osborne expressed.
”Hopefully,” Leo really wished that things wouldn't immediately become bad in the early phase of the Survival Games.
Contrary to Leo and Osborne, Elmont confidently claims, ”Trust me, it won't,”
As expected, after announcing that the size of the map is going to be reduced by twenty-five kilometers, Princess Tifa continued, ”Next, it is time to choose what obstacle we should give to our beloved players,”
Turning to look at Princess Tila, Princess Tifa asked, ”Do you have any idea what obstacle we should give them, sister Tila?”
”Of course!” Princess Tila nodded in excitement. After that, she revealed, ”The first obstacle for our players would be, thunderstorm!”
Hearing the mention of 'Thunderstorm' from Princess Tila, Elmont's face immediately turned ugly. It wasn't only him, but also Leo and Osborne as well.
Looking up at the sky above the stage, numerous clouds gathered together and formed into a single huge cloud. Right after that, the huge cloud slowly darkens from the center before spreading outward. Subsequently, the surrounding turned a bit dark.
The moment the huge cloud hanging above everyone's head turned completely dark, numerous raindrops immediately started falling, soon drenching everything wet and forming small puddles of water on the ground.
Not long after the rain had begun, a series of lightning strikes lightened up the dark surroundings before quickly followed by a loud booming sound.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Some of the lightning hit the ground, causing the target to be burned. But since it was raining, the fire was quickly extinguished, soon leaving only a charred ground and a big hole caused by its powerful strike.
Fortunately for Leo and the others, before the rain even started, they already found a perfect place for the three of them to use as their roof to avoid getting drenched.
