After hearing what Azzim just said, Marco and his men seem to move a little away from the gate. They are surprised, the veteran suddenly declared that he is going to enter the trial dungeon.Zack also comes over and stands there in front of the gate with Azzim. Likewise with the other members. Marco sees that almost all of those inmates have lower levels than his men. Except for Zack who is currently on the same level as Gordon, the only two inmates in the town who have reached level 17.However, threatening to kill all the Inmates isn’t something trivial. It is too much for a mere bluffing.“Is that the reason you create an alliance?” asks Maria, The Loser no 68, the leader of one of the group that has created an alliance with Marco’s.Azzim only gives her a pale smile.“Don’t joke around. There’s no one stupid enough to create an alliance to enter the trial dungeon. Everybody knows the trial dungeon can only be entered by 5 inmates,” Maria continues.“Cih! He is just bluffing,” says
Meanwhile, four of Gordon's members and several other inmates from Maria and Tomaz's group are still hunting for Leia and the others. Gideo, who is a level 15 assassin-type warrior from Gordon's group, is at the front and already can see Bascha who is happens the most back behind his other friends. “I’ve found them!” shouts Gideo. He accelerates his run a little and after that he sees his other preys from a distance. “Hey, Gideo. Don't get too far away from the others. What would happen if they ambush you!” shouts one of his friends named Nasha, a utility warrior who carries a kind of bow gun on her back. Meanwhile, Marco keeps adjusting his running speed with his one member named Mira, a level 15 mage healer, a bit ahead of the other inmates from Maria and Tomaz’s group. “Is it okay to let Gordon alone after that veteran warrior?” Mira asks worriedly. “It's a big mistake for you to worry about it. You should be worried about the man he's after,” Gordon replies. But in fact, at
One by one, several inmates have been killed in stealth by Azzim from behind, while the others are still too occupied in following Marco and his friends. Andrio keeps observing Gordon who is still chasing him from behind. Gordon might two levels higher than him, but Andrio clearly has a slight advantage in terms of speed. Coupled with his ability to continue observing any long-range attack plans that Gordon might think of. “Shit, how can he always dodge my ice spears. Looks like I really need to practice this type of attack,” Gordon muttered in annoyance. Everyone in the first stage of the trial realm is probably afraid of Gordon. However, he isn’t the type of warrior who is good at hunting. As Gordon follows them, he finds more and more items from the inmates who have been killed by Azzim. He begins to realize Azzim's real intentions and becomes increasingly worried and also furious. “They deliberately avoid me and my team to erase all those small fries,” he grumbles. On the oth
It almost has been two hours since they hunted Leia and the others, and the gate in Gurdat Town had also been deactivated. Although there are still some inmates near the gate, the rest have already been leaving that place one by one. Some of them who are now walking back to the Inmate Center building seem noisy with what Azzim had previously said to them. “Is he really going to enter the trial realm with that level?” “With level 0? That’s bullshit. Even Gordon and his team couldn’t clear the trial, even after reaching level 20.” “But, most of his team are having high enough levels. And they have also created an alliance with Zack.” “Despite that, there’s only five people can enter the trial dungeon.” “Then why did Zack want to form an Alliance with them?” There are too many odd things about Azzim and all of them have piqued their curiosity. He, who was the first to enter Alorexa, and now trapped in the first stage trial, still has level 0 even though they have confirmed that he
Gordon only finds Leia and Hannah. Just because they both are woman doesn’t make him hesitate to kill them. He is a bit interested in Leia’s calm demeanor.“I hope you are not going to just running away like the other veteran I fought before,” says Gordon.Leia puts a clown face. “I don’t know, but somehow, you remind me of someone stupid.”Gordon doesn’t hide how annoyed he is right now and dashes forward so fast. But then, another ambush comes from the left. It shocks him and immediately covers his left side with an ice block. He only manages to create a small and thin ice, not enough to block the ambush completely.That small and thin ice is broken, and Gordon got hit by a sudden burst of flame. He averts his attention and finds Dino is ready with his another flower flame.“You are not the only mage knight in this trial realm,” says Leia, trying to taunt Gordon.But Dino is not looking so sure of himself. “Come on Leia, don’t you agitate him. I don’t have any confident to fight him
After making sure things are safe, Marvini comes out from behind the trees and comes over them. Bascha raises his hands from a far while holding his right side that got hit by Gordon. “Thank you for protecting me. If it wasn't for your living armor, I'm sure that sharp ice would hurt my stomach,” says Bascha welcoming her arrival. Marvini smiles, but she continues to walk over to Leia, intending to help heal the wound on her arm. But right now, Leia has just finished healing herself and the wound has already closed. “You should have save your mana. I haven’t done anything during that fight,” says Marvini. “It’s okay. My mana will be refreshed back before the dark. I believe nobody will be dared enough to come after us right now,” Leia replies. “What about the monsters?” she asks. “With them at this level, there aren't many monsters dangerous enough to threaten us,” Leia replies by glancing his head toward the others. “For now, we better find a hiding place to rest until tomorrow.
Until the dark, they still could not find the ideal hideout. They are forced to camp without a tent in the middle of the jungle. At least the sky is clear enough, barely covered by clouds. Just like always, Dino helps them to prepare the grilled meat. It’s a luxury that Zack and his team rarely had before. Leia brings two piece of grilled meats and shares one of them to Bascha. “How’s your fatigue level?” she asks. “It’s still at 58 now,” Bascha replies. “It’s still that high?” says Leia. “I might have a higher HP regeneration rate than most people, but my natural fitness,” he finishes his word by patting his huge belly. “It takes longer time for him to refresh and to clear his fatigue,” says Marvini from across the bonfire. “Sorry for holding you down,” Bascha smiles awkwardly. Leia replies his smiles and pats his back a few times before taking her leave. But then Zack tells her to not taking Bascha’s condition too serious. “We don’t need to wait for him to refresh until his
They then cut those two inmates’ white clothes and use them to tie all the items they have collected and bring all of those items back with them without examining them at all. “By the way, did you ever read his mind before and noticed their intention coming to us?” asks Azzim. “They intended to keep watching us and maybe snatch a chance to kill the weakest among us if they find the opportunity. Seems like he still sees us as a threat for the next round of the trial since he doesn’t believe you are going to clear the trial realm now. To be honest, I even doubt it myself.” Azzim just smiles and keeps moving back to their camp. When the two of them come back, Zack looks confused to see them coming with some items. It’s not that long they left, but now they are coming back with two set of items. “How did you get all of these items?” he asks. “It’s Marco and his friend. They came approaching this place,” Andrio replies. “This is why you shouldn’t let them go. Your naivety will cost o
