Chapter 206 - 188.7 (1/2)

The clock ticked 'til dawn.

At the same time, the teams in the doubles segment were finished in the first round matches.

It was a definite result and next would be the elimination round. A round that the coordinators prepared for the eliminated teams to challenge a team that they wanted to take over their position.

The Three Kings; Rose, Blues and Alliance. No one wanted to challenge them in this round. It was reasonable to avoid storms and floods.

Eliza and Berry were on their own box, resting there.The strawberry haired sleeper wasn't in the mood to get a wink. He noticed that the high ceiling of the enclosed colliseum-like place did not change.

They were aware that the high-ceiling were enchanted with illusion charm which reflected the outside sky. Even though it was just an illusion to make the atmosphere in the venue at ease but the reality it showed wasn't fake.

”Captain, the sky is still dark,” Berry said while he glanced at the dark starless sky.

Moreover, the match did not start yet as the coodinators stated that they could have a thirty minutes break but while they were in the box, they still could see what was happening outside. Even the other teams noticed as well.

Eliza looked up and silently gazed at the dim dark sky. Her expression was unreadable, no one knew what she was thinking.

The place that Chun ended up was another setting that wasn't there earlier. Xiao Fen directed his master to the concentrated energy he sensed and he did not expected that it was a trap to transport them to another location. Fortunately, the snobbish system suddenly volunteered himself to shield them for a safe transfer which it made them well as they had arrived in the cave-like place.

Maybe, it was really a cave?

Chun saw that the place they were at was alighted with torches, she took a torch from the wall. The place had only a one way, behind her was just a dead end which meant that she needed to go forward to get out of this place.

'Master, this is not good.'

Even without the warning of the black furball, Chun already sensed the danger as they proceeded forward.

Xiao wasn't scared at the danger before them but what he was anxious was that he wouldn't able to protect the silver haired youngman with his current form.

As a 'bug' in this mission world, he was just only limited to moving and some small basic attacks but if he would use his real power then this form of his would collapse and he would be immediately ejected.

He didn't wish to leave his master in this place but if there was no other option then he would just wait for her once she got back. He was confident with his tracking skills.

Xuan was silently following the silver haired young man when he suddenly blocked her path.

The black furball stood in all fours while he looked vigilantly at the brunette youth.

'What is he planning?' The Thundra thought.

Xuan finally decided to give an ȧssistance. He had been bored to be an observer, why not join the fun? Also, the administrator couldn't interfere. Xuan knew that Sixth Seat (Ryder) was busy and only the kid was left to watch the main system so it could be said that Blu did not bother if the issue wasn't that big.

The silver haired young man frowned at his action but she stopped her tracks. She could pass through Xuan if she wanted yet she wanted to see his scheme.

”I'll offer you an escape rune.”

It was surprising to hear that from this unrelenting person but in fact, Chun didn't need it. She doesn't need that his help but what was offered, shouldn't be declined.

”Are you helping me as a system or as a fellow performer, Senior?”

Xuan smiled at the question of the latter, he then replied, ”It's free. Just do your mission quick.”

”No other purposes?” She wanted to make sure. What if?

'This guy is truly cunning.' Xuan with his profound thought.

”None.”

”Then I'll take up that offer next time,” she then continued her journey.
