Chapter 309: Cocoon [Bonus Chapter] (2/2)

In addition, it was clear that, much like Hacker Hutch, Monet had been training in the whip since long before the Metamorphosis descended.

King Arthur was completely enraged. His kingly aura fluctuated wildly, his sword swinging with a mighty momentum as he tried to cross Monet's barrier.

Unfortunately, it was simply too difficult. He had to separate a portion of his Force to fuse with his armor and block Violet Rain's poison.

He was certain that if he was given enough time, he could easily reach Modred. The issue was that he didn't have the time.

When Modred acted, the whole of the grey platform descended into chaos. King Arthur had only cut the distance by half when a familiar voice sounded once again.

<Second Elimination Round Completed>

<Slaughter Points to be Distributed>

<Modred - 13 points>

<Leonel - 3 points>

…

The 100 star points above Leonel's head flickered and disappeared under the unwilling gazes of all those around him. It was obvious that this was probably a large part of the reason he was targeted at all. But, the archers who had chosen to take action had clearly been too eager. What would they have done had they really managed to kill him?

King Arthur's steps paused, a bubbling rage threatening to erupt from deep within him.

He stared toward Modred then looked toward the corpses of his fellow man that littered the ground.

Over 200 people had entered together. But, now there were just 72. Just 72 left. Of them, only 40 were humans.

<Trial 4 Commencing>

Unfortunately, no matter how enraged King Arthur was, things were destined to continue. The same callous voice sounded as though the deaths that had been caused by it were completely meaningless.

Leonel shook his head. It was for the best that things ended this way. His mission would fail if King Arthur died and having to fight such a powerful man while holding back would be like asking for death.

Just as Leonel was about to check to see if the exchange rate for slaughter points had changed, his vision swam.

At first he panicked. But, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to keep himself awake.

Soon, his panic became languidness and his vision went completely black. The only assurance he gained just before he lost consciousness was that others seemed to be falling asleep along with him…

…

Moments later, Leonel appeared floating within a cocoon. There wasn't a shred of clothing on him and he was curled up in a fetal position.

What was truly shocking, though, about his current situation was the fact he wasn't alone. There was one other cocoon right next to him. But, this one held a gorgeous woman who was equally as naked.

In fact, even that wasn't the truly shocking part. What would stun those watching from a third party's perspective was the fact that this woman was the demonic Empress, Modred.
