Chapter 710 - 655: Third Trial (1/2)

After briefly talking with Sonia, Arthur met back with Lucy and Fariya. The two women talked for a little while and, unlike before, the succubus was acting more reserved. Even her clothes were changed into more appropriate, less-revealing ones. She was standing behind Lucy, her whole demeanor radically changed and the smile that was constantly on her face was nowhere to be seen.

”Let's go back to the plateau. It's about time the 3rd Trial begins.”

Arthur voiced no objection, he nodded his head and walked beside his wife. As for Fariya, she maintained a distance of five meters, keeping quiet and not even looking at the Parasite.

'What did you tell her?'

The husband telepathically talked to his wife, who inwardly snorted.

'Nothing that should concern you, my dear husband.'

The succubus looked unharmed but the sudden and big change in character made Arthur promise himself not to get involved with other women, no matter the circ.u.mstances. Fortunately, Lucy's jealousy and anger weren't directed at him, or else he'd have been shunned for a couple of days, if not weeks.

It didn't take long for the couple to reach the plateau, where the remaining 10 teams were getting ready for the next trial.

As he expected, Arthur and Lucy's team was successful in acquiring the required number and were able to safely pass the door without losing a single member.

Although 10 teams were qualified, there have been a few participants disqualified, like the three from the Dark Blaze Team. Surprisingly, however, the last member of the Dark Blaze Team was able to get the needed number and pass the door, thanks to nothing but sheer luck.

The two teams which lost were the Buddha Team and the Eternal Rouge Team. The latter is to be expected, as its members weren't particularly strong and barely garnered any attention. The Buddha Team, on the other hand, was a surprise to almost everyone, including Arthur and Lucy.

The team of bald young men, all wielding the same weapon and wearing the same outfit, were defeated by a joint attack of three other teams, including the MoonStar Team.

Even with their peculiar praying techniques and the golden beast they had summoned, the five young monks were defeated. They got cornered, their number stolen and forced to fight for a long while, till their very last breath.

This brought the remaining number of participants from 51 to 38. Three of the four members of the Dark Blaze Team were out, two from the nine mermaid team, and the rest were all the members of the Eternal Rouge Sect team and the Buddha Team.

”Welcome back!”

Isadore cheerfully greeted the couple, the usual bright smile on his lively face. Though, his gaze soon fell on the approaching succubus, becoming curious and surprised.

He may not be as knowledgeable about the couple as Sonia or those close to them, nonetheless, the fact that Lucy does not tolerate other women close to her husband is already known to many people.

In the end, the mortal King of Green-Leaf swallowed his curiosity and did not ask any unnecessary questions.
