Chapter 178: The Rain (1/2)

*Boom!*

Jake found himself back on the island, along with the other candidate.

His sights blurred as his brain began to processes information better. The massive influx of information damaged his mind as he endured headaches upon headaches.

*Drip!* *Drip!*

Jake's face got battered with drops of water. From his laying position, he looked up at the sky and comments, 'It is raining.'

What could be more perfect?

The beautiful shower of rain after a long day. It seemed that it had blessed the two candidates with its cool embrace.

The rain massages his sore muscles and feeling blissful, he surrendered his entire body to it, while closing his eyes.

It was a pity that he was already in the [state of deficit] or he would have removed his armor pieces, leaving only his bare body to the naked rain.

Shifting his eyeball to glance at his surrounding, Jake noticed the female candidate laying on the grass, just like him.

Her calm eyes met his, but nothing happened. She couldn't move her body and he was sure that she didn't care about fighting anymore.

The both of them tried to peer through each other's eyes, in an attempt to pass their time.

Jake had to admit that he had never encountered anyone more open than him. He was a person that could walk around a city with only underwear.

Yet, the female candidate beside had fought naked all this while. From her first fight in the town to outside the barrier, she didn't feel a single bit uncomfortable with the grazing of the wind on her uncovered skin.

If he could move his mouth, Jake would have chuckled right now.

He just continued staring at her silver eyes, matching her emotionless gaze with his own cold gaze.

His sight began to blur again. His eyelids closed many times, before opening back instantly.

As soon as their fatigue had piled up, Jake and the candidate blacked out. The constant soft beating of the rain was the only noise in the environment.

It was a strange sight. On a grassy plain was a large platform of ice that was battered beyond repair.

Dents and craters opened the ground and the bountiful rain filled the holes up with its water. The blue cloud breathed a cool temperature that could compel one to sleep!

In the midst of all these wonders were two individuals, who laid on the melted portion of the ice, sleeping like there was no tomorrow.

They didn't know that as they slept, blue energy coalesced around their arm to form a tattoo,...…. a triangle with an eye in it!

............

'Where am I?' sighed Jake

As soon as Jake's eyes fluttered open, he found himself laying on a bed, with binds tying him to it.

Jake took his time to examine his environment.

The light around him was dull. It didn't seem to be natural and was gotten from a [Light Crystal] around him.

Judging by the size of the place he was in, he could tell it was a tent. It was probably one of the bounty hunters' tents.

Most of them, including his team, left their tent unpacked as they were running out of time.

The slow rain beating on the tent made him understand that it had only been hours since he blacked, not more than a day, and the rain was just coming to a close.
