Atlantis1:50 PM
When it was al a pair of hands that al too e by the five-colored rooster head
”You're back”
As soon as they saw the door open, the two people in the lounge turned around at the same time ”You've worked hard, take a break first” Gasai closed the book in his hands and stood up froo well?”
…I had a both-hands-about-to-snap-off kind of feeling, if this is also called ”well”, then I give up
Oh please! The un, just ould be able to use a real gun to the point of wielding it naturally in such a short period of time!
Two hundred octopuses and two hundred sharks!
You think I'm a God!?
”It didn't go well at all, fros, and that's not even half of theh, the radish in the field won't be able to grow in just a single day”
To be compared to a radish by you, I'm not happy at all
”Where's Ran?” Senior climbed up from the sofa, and casually asked a question
”He said he had soh” And because he left first, no one kno to send the octopuses and sharks back Now the open space is still in that crowded state
I wonder if there's any kind-hearted passerby who could help us return it to normal…
”Nn, it's almost time for us to leave too” Senior stood up from the sofa, and then picked up the black robe and wore it Fro unexpected occurred for the third co to the second competition It's already different from the scheduled route”
Different?
I'm a little curious, I wonder what could have happened for the competitions to be affected
”You'll know once the third coins” After Senior very naturally threw out this sentence, a huge teleportation array directly appeared on the ground, ready to send everyone to the venue resting area
”The second competition won't take too uys don't need to prepare Hurry up and co for the tea my back as he went into the teleportation array The five-colored rooster head didn't take a second to follow us in
The second competition won't take too much time?
Just as I was filled with questions, the surroundings suddenly exploded with the roar of cheering
”hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the General assembly venue for the second competition” The voice of the announcer directly sounded out aboveout the noises of the audience ”Before the coins, I'll first announce a certain inally supposed to be at the Illusionary Island in the Northern area, but because some unforeseen situations suddenly arose, the third competition will have two sites In other words, the current teams will be split into half and proceed to different destinations And the second competition will detero to Please look forward to it!”
Determine each team's destination?
”It's said that the Guild received two SOS signals froed to the third coroups will be dispatched to co the proble scored on that It's considered a rare opportunity for both sides” Standing at the side, Gasai smiled as he explained to us
Oh, no wonder there was a notice of changing the players, it turns out that the third coed into actual combat…
Actual combat?
Which is to say, after this I'll have to follow Senior and the others to resolve the legendary actual combat that needs so many experts at once!?
Mao home…
”Don't worry, it'll be alright”
During my trance, I seeentle
I took out the illusionary soybean that was faintly issuing sounds from my pocket, and the fine bell-like sounds quickly disappeared
…It shouldn't be that, right?
The stage started vibrating
Under the gaze of all the audience, a huge array suddenly appeared on the stage An im a ring to be able to surround it, rushed up towards the sky At the same time and place from above, a similar white pillar lowered down Both pillars e column that reached up to the sky appeared
”I haven't seen this thing in such a long tie pillar that appeared on the stage, and then began cracking his knuckles
”What is this?” No matter how I looked at it, I could only feel that it really is just a huge column
”That's right, it's a pillar, can't you tell?” Red eyes eyes looked over at aze to stare at me
Basically, what I couldn't tell hat this thing's purpose is
”Ladies and gentlee!” Following the announcer's instructions, the pictures on the big screens all simultaneously switched to the same place It was a white surface, and on it was about a dozen colorful boxes ”This is the top of the Sky Reaching Pillar, which has an elevation of about a thousand and five hundred meters Contained within those boxes above are the real locations of the third competition, but some of them also contain traps This is a level that tests the players' judgement, speed, cooperation, endurance and so on The first teams to reach the top will be the first ones to choose their boxes, but please note that each team only has three chances If a team doesn't choose the correct box within all three chances, the tea to the next level, and will be declared as forfeiting their identity as competitors
Disqualified?
Then wouldn't this level be very important!?
I secretly glanced at Senior and Gasai, starting to worry a little
”The second coe-scale spells You're also prohibited frooing up the pillar will be up to each teaiven” The venue announcer quickly finished explaining the rules and raised her hand up high ”Then, let the second coin!”
As soon as the last word ended, I saw the representatives of each teae at the same time Almost every team had only sent out two people, the most was three, and then no more came
An icy breeze drifted over froe I subconsciously turned around to look and nearly every hair on me stood up
I saw a the Clear Wind representatives, that Andellar, who had turned into Tenju, really didn't die He was even standing there perfectly fine with the unsuspecting black robe
As if he also noticed e sle; I suddenly felt like a frog that was being eyed by a poisonous snake
”Yang~ what are you doing?” The five-colored rooster head gave a pat on my shoulder, which incidentally caused my mind to return ”The people from Seven Hill Academy are definitely mysterious; up to now they still haven't taken off their cloth hats, it really makes erous declaration that would cause good people to call the police to take him away
Speaking of which, Seven Hill's players really are ht and looked across Standing in an inconspicuous corner, were two Seven Hill Acade Both of the in low voices Maybe because the chance of proceeding to the next level was at stake in the second competition, so this ties were shown on stage
The white pillar that reached up to the sky was coinally tried to use ropes but it was to no avail After trying a few ti a brief discussion about other methods
Senior and the others started roup that appeared in the front didn't even have any discussions when Gasai straightened his hand, and instantly swung his illusionary weapon, a black whip
”The whip's length shouldn't be ht?” I leaned over the railing in the lounge, my mind full of question marks
”Who knows” The five-colored rooster head shrugged too
At almost the same time, the other teams also started to move
Holding onto the black whip's handle, Gasai didn't swing the long whip Instead he pulled about fifty centih Stepping on that short part of the whip, he directly leveraged the force froht, a silver line extended out in his hand, and then the illusionary weapon, the silver spear, appeared
So spear into the pillar Thin ice is And then he bent his body to pull the whip that Gasai had flung up, pulling his teammate up
Froot to was around a hundred feet or so
”They used the leveraging o up, but if they want to use this method to reach the top of the pillar, it'll take the period of time” The five-colored rooster head watched the ood idea
Just as I was thinking so too, the outer ring of the thin ice that Senior's illusionary weapon e As if it had a life of its own, it started cli upwards In the few seconds that it takes to blink, it already began to wind its way around the pillar A spiral staircase made of thin ice thus attached itself to the entire white pillar
Using the ice stairs, the two used quick ht
”This isn't considered a large-scale spell?” I looked at the five-colored rooster head beside me and questioned The five-colored rooster head looked at me, ”This isn't considered one That's an ice staircasean illusionary weapon It's basically not even considered as a spell”
So illusionary weapons also have this sort of use
I suddenly thought that if it was Minas, what other additional usages she has The only one that I know of is the legendary bubble gun Wait atool!?
According to the law of buy one get one free, I felt that the possibility of having this feature is highly likely
”Yang~ look!” Just as I was thinking hard about the additional features of the water gun, the five-colored rooster head suddenly grabbedsomeone and turned my head towards the other side ”This side is also very interesting!”
