Chapter 434 Part Three: Crimson Hall's Competition
Chapter 434 Part Three: Crimson Hall's Competition
Odyssey Monster Zone,
In mid-air, Lowell McClain's gaze passed through the glasses and fell on the Super Elite Warriors. But none of them were aware that someone was watching their movements.
Besides, Jonathan quickly recalled the information about the two.
"Master, you are right. Presumably, these two guys were connected to those old forces in the Inner Post," Jonathan said in a calm tone.
A quick glint flashes in Lowell's eyes. Then soon it disappears. A small smile rose on Lowell's face. No one would believe that his current get-up is just a disguise.
"Well, the Inner Post is going to be much more interesting when the geniuses from all around the outer post gather in one spot," Lowell said in his heart.
Meanwhile,
Sky Tower,
Crimson Hall's Casey realizes that it's time to start the competition. So he looked at the six academy powerhouses and decided to ask their permission.
When he asked for permission. Mike Smith immediately agreed with him and told him not to waste any more time.
The other five academy powerhouse conveyed the same opinion.
Casey then hurried to make an announcement. He knew the seed candidates were waiting outside for the announcement.
...
(From MC's perspective)
I stood patiently behind the seed candidates. I don't see anyone from Crimson Hall. Which I feel is quite strange. Then the image of one more person flashes into my mind.
Maria? Before coming here, I already texted her. But I got no response in return. Then I sent her a message again. This time I told her to contact me in case of any emergency inside the monster zone.
Which I feel is bound to happen.
Shortly after the announcement came. Which alerted everyone instantly. The rules were pretty much the same. The winner is decided based on the number of monster cores collected by seed candidates.
Class 1 Monster Core - 100 points.
Class 2 Monster Core - 200 points.
Class 3 Monster Core - 300 points.
The Competition is for 7 days. At the end of the 7th day, the points will be counted officially.
When I see the point distribution, a quick glint flashes in my eyes. If I didn't know the specifics, I would have been fooled right now.
The monsters residing in this monster zone are not everyday monsters hunted by adventurers. But all of the hybrids and products of the lab experiment.
So an ordinary hybrid monster's strength might surpass regular Class 1 Monster. Suddenly I feel pity for these seed candidates. Hundreds of them are standing behind me.
But sadly many of them are not going to return. Suddenly, many silhouettes appeared near the gate. I immediately recognized the symbol on their robe.
"Crimson Hall," My eyes burst out with a cold glint. I see a lot of familiar faces. Especially the group I previously met in Star Tower.
"Bob Williamson"
"Austin Boyer"
"Bradley Reese"
"Ella Downs"
and "Sallie Mills,"
I muttered their name one by one.
Earlier, I had sympathy for this group. But right now there is no more soft corner. Even for Ella Downs and Sallie Mills. These two girls let me down greatly.
These two also participated in the Hansen Incident. After taking a glance at them, I turned towards their elder.
Apart from these five people, there is one more group standing behind the elder. I raise my eyebrows in confusion. Strange?
The monster zone is dangerous for everyone.
Despite knowing why Crimson Hall allowed their members to participate? I don't know what they are ranking.
The strength of everyone is Trainee Warrior. But it is not enough. Is Crimson Hall going to feign ignorance in the end?
The more I think about it, the more it feels real. The Crimson Hall is going to sacrifice their warriors for their benefit. What an evil organization!
Then I put aside these strange thoughts and prepare to enter. Before entering inside, the guards were distributing storage bags to everyone.
After getting the items, the Crimson Hall's members were the first to enter the monster zone. Nobody raised any objections to that.
Slowly one by one entered inside. When my turn came, I picked up the storage bag and entered inside.
Swish!
I didn't waste any more time. I disappeared from the spot and quickly hid in the woods. Because of the teacher's order, I can't use elite-level strength.
Then suppressing my thoughts, I decided to hunt. I moved deep into the woods.
Swish!
When I went deeper, I encountered my first monster. The Class- 1 Snake monster. After coming across the monster, I didn't wait for it to attack.
I appeared behind the monster and crushed its neck in an instant. Then I immediately retrieved the core from its body and placed it in the storage big.
After doing that, I resumed my hunt.
Meanwhile,
The seed candidates were entering the southern part of the monster zone one by one. After entering inside, the warriors started to explore on their own.
Some started to rush in the west direction. While others are towards the east. Everyone picks up their goals to hunt down the monsters and collect as much monster core as possible.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After two hours, more than 500 seed candidates entered inside. Right now, no one is waiting outside the gate to enter. After confirming that, the entrance is closed.
Hereafter the latecomers will not be allowed to enter the monster zone.
Meanwhile,
Sky Tower,
The big screen started to show the live competition. Seeing that Casey let go of his hanging heart. Everything is set in tone. He doesn't have to worry anymore.
The super-elite warriors were watching the big screen. They can see the situation inside the monster zone.
Mike Smith frowns. Of all the places in the monster zone, only the southern part is considered a little dangerous. But the actual safe part was made as an entrance to the wilderness.
Mike Smith's mouth twitched. He already learned about this monster zone. The southern part is a normal wilderness. Where you can find typical monsters like anywhere else.
A western part is a special place. It's the habitat of Tree monsters. The northern part is covered by a lake. And the lake itself hides terrible fish monsters.
The eastern part is a region made up of poisonous mists. Mostly poisonous attributed monsters were living there.
And finally when it comes to a central area. It consists of two parts. One is a swamp and the other one is a dense forest. The Class -3 Crocodile monsters were living in swamps.
And the dense forest is home to bloodsucking rats. Thinking about the tragedy that is going to occur, he sighed inwardly. He is helpless in this situation.
He is going to watch the massacre which is going to unfold before his eyes.
The other five super elite warriors also recalled the information. Some of their faces changed for a moment before returning to normal.
"If it was for a normal time, your proposal would have met with the destruction of Crimson Hall along with you," Harvey Kim said in a cold tone, looking at the big screen.
His voice is not so loud. Casey shuddered a little. He quickly cursed in his heart, "Damn you." He can only say it in his heart, not outside.
He knows that Eclipse Academy portrays righteousness. The competition is unacceptable under current circumstances.
But right now, they can't do anything to stop his plan.
"Harumph," Harvey Kim gave a cold snort without looking at Casey.
Meanwhile,
June Shelton beside him furrowed his eyebrows. He too dislikes the current situation. Their academy is run by clans and families.
Though the clans and families have descendants. But they are fewer in number.
The outside warriors were the major backbone of the academy. If not for the constant replenishing of members each year. It's difficult for the academy to compete against the eclipse academy.
After realizing that, a gloomy glint flashes in his eyes.
Meanwhile,
Autumn Holt from White Palace sighed in her heart. She has to be honest with herself.
The current situation is extremely favorable to her academy. If there are fewer people, nobody can force her to recruit more.
Teresa York remained indifferent to the situation. She doesn't feel sympathy at all.
Her gaze is focused on observing the warriors. For their inheritance, the temperament of the warrior is much more important.
The current environment inside the monster zone might bring out the potential of the warriors.
On the other hand, Eduard Ortega's eyes fell on the southern area where ape monsters fiercely hunted down the seed candidates.
From one look he can see that ape monsters were different from usual monsters. Watching seed candidates torn into pieces. Eduard Ortega remained speechless.
None of the seed candidates can withstand the single blow of an ape monster. Eduard's eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Because the seed candidates were all Trainee Warriors.
Normally any Trainee Warrior can defend against the Class 3 Monster. But here the ape monster easily crushed warriors without much effort.
"What kind of lab experiment happened?" He said in his heart.
