Chapter 194 – Let Him Die (2/2)
On second thought, Elena forced herself to abandon those useless thoughts.
If Lin Xiao got involved and died, wouldn’t that be better? Then she wouldn’t have to go to Snow as the slave contract would naturally be dissolved on Lin Xiao’s death.
“Let him die then…”
Elena muttered and stopped bothering Rosie with questions.
On the fifth day of the competition, the remaining three people from Loran Academy followed the river and headed towards the final battleground.
The other two, unknown.
…
…
Despair Island, valley.
The four students wearing yellow uniforms advanced with difficulty within the valley.
This was the short path that cut through the valley. As hosts, Heino Academy knew this path, and they even had a map, so naturally they wouldn’t miss out on this shortcut.
But it was easier said than done.
He already heard that this road was extremely bumpy and easy to stumble on, even though he regularly trains his body, as a magician it was very arduous.
It was well into the firth day, and Charles, ‘Little Princess’ beautiful long robe was covered in dust. He can’t help it since they were so high profile, it was their own fault that their robes bight yellow robes stood out like chrysanthemums in the green forest.
They were easily noticed by other teams even when they were really far away. Thought they knew that it was Heino Academy, but they all wanted to give it a try. Because if they were by chance successful then they could collect all their points and it was worth a shot!
The terrain was difficult to navigate, they were constantly ambushed, it was even painstaking for the incredibly skilled Devoru.
After the struggles throughout the day, the sun slowly set and night came. They thought they could finally relax but it was just getting started.
They were almost out of the valley and Despair Forest was right before their eyes. After tonight, they would be able to enter the forest first thing in the morning and head towards the vault.
The problem was there was no suitable place to sleep here! It was especially easy to be ambushed at night so they had to do their due diligence.
After they set up camp and lit a campfire, the four huddled around it to rest.
As night fell, the flickering flames illuminated Charles’ cute face, making his fiery red hair even more vivid, his enchanting face looked just like a beautiful girl.
“Eh? What is it Devoru, you keep staring at me.” Charles propped his head up with his hands, smiled and asked.
He noticed Devoru, who sat across from him, staring blankly at him.
“N-nothing, prince. But…” The solemn Devoru who already placed his spear down, awkwardly averted his gaze when Charles questioned and quietly said, “Scarlet Fairy…”
“Oh? Hehe, it’s been a long time since I’ve been called that way, you made me remember a lot of unpleasant memories.”
Not many knew that nickname anymore, if possible, Charles wished that everyone would forget about it.
“Prince, I definitely won’t let the past repeat itself.” For some reason, Devoru suddenly spoke of something else.
“Okay, I believe you.” Charles nodded his head, understanding what he meant and smiled.
“Prince, please get some sleep. You can leave the night guard to us.”
The night was getting dark and it was time sleep. Devoru stopped engaging in idle chit chat, picked up his spear and prepared to start beginning the patrols with the other two.
“Thanks for your hard work. It’s the sixth day of the competition after tonight, you mustn’t get lax.”
“Yes!”
“Yaawn… good night.” Charles yawned, shrank into his robe and prepared to sleep.
Devoru extinguished the fire after he saw Charles lay down and began patrolling.
A beautiful figure flashed by in the darkness, unbeknownst to anyone.
Her long black hair flowed in the night sky, her slender legs took graceful steps, her little delicate feet wrapped in a pair of dark red high-heels, giving off an off sense of beauty.
“Sorry, Scarlet Fairy.”
