Chapter 247 (1/2)
The moment she ran, a bright light burst and a storm of enormous heat poured toward the Russian team. Reina was very light and was wearing light equipment. The force of this explosion was so great that her body was blown away.
“Kyaaaaak!”
At this moment, a thick hand grabbed her as she flew through the air. It was the hand of Leonid Koscha, who is known as the Russian Human Bomb Tank!
“You are a very difficult woman to grab,” Leonid spoke bluntly as he smiled at her.
He was very happy to be able to hold Reina’s hand like this. He was humiliated by Rena the other day, but he didn’t care. He knocked on the plate armor he was wearing.
“Huhu. If you are grateful then you can give me a hug!”
“What are you talking about? This pervert.”
Reina wielded her scythe in a threatening manner, turned in the air, and landed gently. Fortunately, the Russian players were safe. It was because they were all wearing heavy armor or sheet metal armor. However...
“France is ruined.”
A huge crater was in front of her. It was so huge that she could imagine the power of the explosion. She looked up at the top of the pyramid.
“...Dark Wolf.”
It was too far away to see clearly, but a familiar figure was standing there. It was definitely him. Reina’s heart beat faster because she felt that he was looking at her.
“He participated...!”
Reina blushed and lifted her black scythe. She might be a fan, but this was a match that involved national honor. In fact, she had the desire to leave it all behind and deal a blow to Dark Wolf. He was a naughty man who dared to throw her away. However, it didn’t seem as easy as she thought.
“Kuwoooook!”
Red taurus rose from the remnants of the explosion. The cows made of hot flames roared and rushed up with their fiery axes. Reina, who stood at the forefront, shouted to the Russian players, “Break through! Everyone, get ready for battle!”

[The flag has been acquired.]
[The Japanese team has been eliminated.]
After the Arabs, Argentina, and the Netherlands, the fourth country to be eliminated was named. The one who disastrously destroyed Japan was... Zhen Sulong gently turned his wrist and relaxed. Blue lightning was covering his hands.
“Daren.'
Zhen Sulong turned to look at the man who called him ‘Daren.’ The man named Zhu Yangtian had his fist against his palm in a greeting. He was the master of Mantis Boxing and the captain of the Chinese team. Zhen Sulong had given him the captain’s position.
“Zhu Yangtian daren,” Zhen Sulong lightly greeted him in the same manner.
“You're overpraising me. You are just as good with Mantis Boxing.”
“Haha. Too much humility is poison.”
The two of them flattered each other to maintain their personal relationship. Zhen Sulong had fired countless blue lightning bolts to defeat the Japanese team that was centered on close-range damage dealers called ‘samurai.’ This was possible because the Japanese team didn’t have any Star Fruit talents.
‘By the way...’
Zhen Sulong moved his gaze to the top of the pyramid where the explosion had occurred. It was an explosion he was familiar with.
‘Brother, you’re finally here.’
Zhen Sulong smiled when he saw the massive pyramid staircase engulfed in flames. Strong people gathered in an instant. Looking at the sky right now, the sand cloud of the American team was headed toward the pyramid and it was the same with Russia and Germany. Ukraine and Mexico could also be seen running there. They were also strong people who couldn’t be ignored. Among them were members of the Eight Supernovas.
Just then, a strange sound enveloped the sky. A long shadow was cast on the ground and the Chinese team, including Zhu Yangtian, hid behind a tree. Zhen Sulong also hid as he looked up at the sky. In that place, a huge dragon made of water roared in a powerful manner. The water dragon cried out again.
‘It is Torres.’
Torres of Spain—he was a mysterious figure who didn’t usually appear in the media, so he could only be seen in the World Competition. He was a figure veiled in mystery and only occasional photos of him in Arkstar were uploaded to the community. He was always wandering the world on the water dragon like he was now.
‘How interesting. There are many people I want to fight with.’
If Michael handled the power of sand then Torres was a Star Fruit talent who controlled the power of water. He was powerful and was Michael’s rival. Zhen Sulong had wanted to fight with him once and today seemed to be the time.
[The fist star, ‘Raitra,’ is urging you to fight quickly!]
Even Raitra seemed to want it.
“Daren.”
Zhen Sulong turned his head. There were three flags in Zhu Yangtian’s hand.
“....Ah. I forgot. Thank you very much.”
[The flag has been acquired.]
[The flag has been acquired.]
[The flag has been acquired.]
‘This means China has five points in total.’
These flags belonged to the Arabs and Argentina respectively. Additionally, there was the flag of the Netherlands. Each of the three teams contained one of the Eight Supernovas. First, the Arabs and Argentina fought fiercely against each other. Then the Netherlands got involved and all three teams were destroyed.
Thus, the Chinese team tried to take the flags of the three teams, but Japan attempted to block them. Well, they also got the Japanese team’s flag.
“Shall we just buy time like this?” Zhen Sulong looked back at the Chinese players and asked. In fact, China could easily get into the top ranks if they ran away for the remaining time. He was the representative of China so he couldn’t act as he pleased.
“Our Chinese people do not fight in such a cowardly way.”
It was as expected.
“It's time to promote the greatness of Chinese martial arts.”
They didn’t want such a victory.
“We aren’t a demonic sect.”
