99 Elemental Stones (2/2)
Faust realised that she is a captain like him. ”Ok” Thorik gathers Faust's squad to explain a few things.
He attaches a small coin-sized tool onto their armours. ”Channel your spiritual energy into the tool before going into the training grounds.” He explains about the tool.
”And an important rule! This is a duel between two houses at a time! Depending on your present house rank, either the opponent team or your team gets to go inside the training grounds to take their positions.” Thorik tells them about the rules.
The two houses which are going to battle against each other, the key thing, that decides which team gets to go inside the battlefield to take positions is the team that is currently leading in the house rankings.
”Oh! Which rank are we on? 4 or 5? It's okay I'm ready! Drop us in.” Jonathan claps his hands and stretches his arms being excited to go in and kill.
”Your house is currently last in the rankings of each branch.” Thorik elaborates.
”Oh it's okay, I will let you guys go in first. I don't mind.” Jonathan holds himself back, without letting the humiliation getting to him.
”Let me tell you in brief about what you need to do. You will be teleported into a different space. You will be given a small City, where both sides of yours will be holding three main buildings in which treasures are stored.”
”You will be given a virtual contacts to one of your eyes, where you can see the whole map virtually. Plunder those treasures of opponent teams or protect yours from them. Or importantly, eliminate all four of the other side, which will also work well.” Thorik explains the rules.
”Heh! For your info on the team, I will be a sniper, so look out for your heads.” A guy wearing glasses from Yuki's squad advice to Faust. All of Yuki's squad are grinning at Faust and his squad, not being able to wait to hunt their prey, they go inside.
The first round of the purge is a four vs four of two houses. Each side will be put into a city in between a number of buildings. In the far corners of the map, each team is given three buildings with a treasure box, one in each of the three buildings.
The treasure boxes here are huge rocks. The opposite team needs to attack and break the rocks. And inside the rocks are elemental stones, the real treasure. A team needs to break all three rocks exposing the elemental stones of the opponent to win the match or kill all four of the opposite team.
The players are given two virtual shields. One of the shields is body shield which, when broken, the player is eliminated. The other is defensive shield which is around the players at all times.
The coin-sized metal tool is attached to all of the players before entering the field, in which a small amount of Yellowstone is present. When the spiritual power is released into the tool, no matter what attributes one person has, the Yellowstone is automatically activated producing an invisible shield around their bodies.
And after Thorik's team entered the training grounds. Faust and his squad are sent in to fight.
”Dead! Faust, eliminated!” A computerized voice resonates.
