'Big bro?' The First Sister's eyebrow twitched. 'Why is that creepy guy now acting so innocent and cute? Creepy!'
'Who?' Adam looked fascinated.
The person stepped past Gabriel. He looked very strange-the strangest person either of them had ever come across.
He had three heads. One facing ahead, one to the right, and one to the left. Each face looked exactly the same, except the left head had a scar running down his left eye.
From the center face, a long tongue darted out, and he had black hair on all three heads. The right head had a patch of white hair, and the left head had a bald spot.
He was copper-skinned with squinted eyes and was enormous. Much taller than Rawkshawn and Gabriel. He was around twenty meters tall, twice as big as Rawkshawn!
As he adorned his black leather jacket and shirt with spikes protruding from arms, legs, and shoulders, he looked like a rascal biker.
"I haven't come across humans lately." Adelram said with a playful grin. "These two made past Rawkshawn, huh."
"Big bro, why've you come here?" Gabriel asked and then showed his snow globe. "I just created their new home. Does it look good?"
"It's your finest work yet, Gabriel!" Adelram patted Gabriel as if he were a child.
Gabriel smiled like a child and looked at the snow globe with his round, innocent eyes.
"And I've come here to inform you about the game." Adelram said. "We were missing you and Rawkshawn."
"Rawkshawn is apparently gone!" Gabriel said. "He got his long-awaited freedom. I was busy with these two misbehaving brats!"
"Oh?" Adelram rubbed his center head. "Rawkshawn has always been wanting his freedom. I guess this means our freedom is not too far either. I miss taking strolls down the Old World's hell road."
"I'll come to play the game once I've put these two inside my new world!" Gabriel pointed the snow globe at the two humans.
"Not again!" The First Sister lowered her stance.
This time she wasn't going to get trapped without a fight!
"Wait a second, little brother." Adelram lowered Gabriel's arm. "The game has been becoming slightly dull. These two could play with us."
"Play?" Gabriel looked at them with narrowed eyes. "They look dumb. I don't know whether they know how to play it!"
Adelram crouched on the ground but was still as big as Gabriel. He looked down at the two humans with a playful smile.
"You two."
His voice was thunderous.
"Do you know a game called Killer Marbles? Do you two know how to play it?"
'Killer Marbles?' Adam gritted his teeth. "Yes, I do."
"Yes." The First Sister replied as well.
"That settles it." Adelram clapped his hands. "You two will play with us."
When he clapped his hands, the whole island started shaking, and to them, it felt like they were traversing through space and time.
Everything was spinning around them.
As soon as the spinning stopped, they were standing inside a room. It was a human-sized
room.
Adam held his head and shook his head, and at that moment, he noticed that Adelram and Gabriel were also human-sized. They looked so much different than when they were gigantic. At the center of the room, there was a table. Two people were already sitting there. This room resembled Adam of a tea room of some little girl, playing pretend. It was because all of the tea pots and saucers looked so small and delicate, just like toys.
"Who are they, and where is Rawk?" Kol asked.
Strangely enough, his head seemed to be facing backwards. Well, it was currently facing Adam, but it looked like his body was facing the wrong way, and it looked like he was sitting the wrong way on the chair.
Kol had the face of a teenager, the body of an adult man, and the hair of an elderly man with his graying, balding head.
"Rawkshawn is gone." Adelram sat down and said. "He got his freedom. These two humans are playing with us today."
"Oh?" Pandora raised one of her eyebrows and looked directly at the First Sister.
She had long legs that seemed too long for her body, giving her an almost spider-like
appearance. She had very regal posture, with red hair cascading down her front in waves and a massive chest that stretched the fabric of her dress.
Currently, she was in her human form, but if she were in her giant form, it would definitely be sight to behold.
"Come on, sit down!" Gabriel ordered them as he sat down as well.
The First Sister and Adam sat next to each other.
On the First Sister's left side was Adelram, and on Adam's right side was Gabriel. Ahead of them were Kol and Pandora, staring at them in silence.
At that moment, Adelram took out marbles from his pouch and juggled them in his hand.
"Shame, I was waiting for this match because of Rawkshawn." Adelram chuckled. "He was close to dying~"
Adam gulped. He wasn't sure if he dared to speak, but he wanted answers, and felt like this was perfect chance to ask.
"W-what do you mean by that?" Adam asked. "Have you all played Killer Marbles more than once? If so, how are all of you alive?"
"Well, y'see, we warlords have multiple lives." Adelram said with a chuckle. "We all started
with 999 lives."
'What?!' Adam felt like his world was crashing down.
999 lives was just absurd!
'999...' The First Sister just looked like she had given up on life. 'I fucking hate whoever made this game. 999 lives is a cheat code.'
"Of course, none of us have that much anymore." Adelram said. "I've got 15 lives left. The end
is getting near!"
'15...' Adam wryly smiled. 'Killing him once would probably take every mercenary in the
world.'
"I have 9 lives!" Gabriel shouted.
"6 lives," Kol said with a yawn.
"31 lives," Pandora said.
"Y'see, we were excited for this game because little Rawkshawn has only one life left!"
Adelram laughed. "He had shitty luck, y'see. Well, maybe he is lucky now that he received his freedom at the day of his potential death!"
