The circumstances leading to the current predicament of Hilda's team were really ridiculous.
After all the troubles her team had gone through as well as obstacles they had barreled through one after the other, it turns out that they would be done in by the careless mistake of one of them as a cause of his greed.
It was somewhat ironic when you think about it. After all, their end goal was the first place so they should have been able to avoid every other temptation by the side of the road that sought to do nothing but distract them from reaching their goal. Still, it was these distractions that would be the downfall of their team.
They had been too careless...
Hilda looked back into the dark jungle behind them.
As it was pitch dark without any source of light except the dim stars in the sky, Hilda could not see her pursuers anymore.
Looking at the three of them running helplessly like this, one would imagine that they had run mad because the
It happened just as Hilda and Hyde expected it to...As soon as the Silver-Back Macaques realized that Hilda, Hyde, and Jenna were almost making it out of the jungle and into the next region, they became impatient and no longer felt like toying with them anymore.Very soon, the Silver-Back Macaques started actively attacking Hilda and her teammates.Those short few minutes were like hell for the three of them.After running continuously nonstop for more than ten hours, Hilda, Jenna, and Hyde were almost on their last legs. With Hilda carrying Jenna on her back as they made their escape, it was very difficult for them to deal with the assault of the Silver-Back Macaques.It was okay when it came to dealing with the ranks five to six Silver-Back Macaques. The three of them still had enough strength to avoid their attacks.When it came to the ranks seven Silver-Back Macaques, Hilda and Hyde were much more strained in avoiding their attacks. Mos
Hilda and Hyde both resolved themselves to climb the mountain and face whatever danger was at the top of its head-on. They were willing to sacrifice everything for this one chance to advance to the final round of the ceremony.So with the still weak Jenna in her care, Hilda followed behind hyde and the both of them charged towards the peak of the mountain.The Silver-Back Macaques were also in hot pursuit.Throughout the competition zone of the third elimination round, scenes just like this were going on.The participants one by one were facing different types of challenges during their run in the third elimination round.Some of them succumbed to their challenges and were forever lost to the chance to become a guardian while some like Hilda and her team gritted their teeth and stayed their course... not backing down for even a second.These types of participants were the type to see an obstacle ahead of them and charge through it.No
The thing about the third elimination round is that the way in which the various regions appeared was completely random. This means that which region a participant would appear in after passing through another was completely random. It did not follow any specific patterns at all. The only thing that will determine which region that a participant would appear in was through the direction they took from the very first region. In the first region, because of the innumerable horde of undead creatures attacking the participants, there had been chaos everywhere and most of the participants ended up separated from each other. The participants could only end up randomly going in any direction they found themselves in. This was the only thing that determined what region they would appear in after clearing the first undead region. after that, they could only stick to their current paths. It could be that after the undead region, the participants would a
Arran, Renee, Daphne, and Brianna were making their way with haste through a tropical jungle swamp.There were only three hours left until the third elimination round would come to an end, but somehow, these three hours to Arran felt like three minutes.Currently, frustration was eating Arran up from the inside. The main reason for this was mostly because of how much slower their progress had been compared to the beginning.At the beginning of the third elimination round, apart from the time when Arran and the team had wasted a lot of time fighting the undead knight, the speed at which Arran and the girls had swept through the rest of the regions could be likened to a rocket flying through space.On average, Arran and the girls would clear a region in four hours depending on the specific region they entered, as well as the type of obstacles that they would face in that region.Although not all their attempts at crossing the various regions had been
"How much longer is this going to take? We don't have a lot of time left. If we don't speed up our pace now, we'll be caught up to sooner or later by that red line." Arran said to the girls."Hey, it's not like we want to move so slowly, but if we go any faster than this, we will end up alerting the spiders. When that happens, then we will be caught in another desperate fight which will be no better for us either way." Renee responded."Then what are we going to do now?" Arran asked, exasperated.Arran turned around to look back at where they had just come from. From where he was, Arran could see a faint red light over the horizon that was gradually becoming clearer as time passed.Arran knew that this red light signified that the red line of death was gradually approaching their location and it was doing so at a very fast speed."We can't keep going slowly like this because sooner or later that red line is going to catch up to us. We can't move to
"Actually, I think I can help with that..." suddenly Renee spoke up.Just now, Arran and the girls had been considering how they would solve their current predicament. After hearing what Arran had to say, they had also started to consider the feasibility of his suggestion and how to actually carry it out. In the end, what Arran had said was only a possible solution and to use the method he proposed, they would still have to resolve the issue of his lacking energy.Just now, Renee had suddenly recalled something that could help them resolve the issue of their lack of energy, which was why she had immediately brought it up.hearing that Renee might have a way to solve their need for energy, everybody promptly looked at her.Arran quickly questioned herm "Do you really have a way to solve the energy problem regarding my suggested plan? what is it?"Daphne and Brianna were also looking at Renee as they waited for her to explain what method she had to s
One agonizingly long hour later...Finally, Arran was done absorbing all the energy in the undead core. At this moment, Arran was feeling bloated.There was a sensation in his body that was as if he was stuffed full after eating a hearty meal, at the same time, there was an uncomfortable feeling in his body that made Arran feel restless and uneasy and edgy.This was because there was currently too much energy in Arran's body that was just lying around and looking for a place to go. With all this energy that was just lying around in Arran's body, he just couldn't stay still without feeling uncomfortable. If Arran didn't find a way to vent all the excess energy in his body, it was likely that all the energy would eventually rampage around in his body, causing him to suffer a lot of damage.Arran carefully checked his body to know his exact condition and once he was done, Arran felt that there were no immediate problems with his body.Right now, Arran
Arran was done with his transformation.The bright light surrounding Arran's figure disappeared, eventually exposing Arran's body to the air.Renee, Brianna, and Daphne were looking forward to seeing what Arran looked like after transforming, especially Brianna and Daphne, as they had never seen Arran transform before.Although Renee had already seen Arran's transformation once, it did not stop her from wanting to see it one more time.Renee knew just how magnificent and dashing Arran looked when transformed, and she wanted very much to see that look on him once more.Surprisingly, when Arran's figure was finally revealed to the girls, it turned out that his transformation was not exactly as how Renee was expecting it.Unlike what Renee was expecting, what she was seeing now differed completely from how it had been before.Previously, when Arran had first transformed, he had been wreathed in a halo of flames and his large wings burned
