?
"I knew it," the First Sister grabbed her hair. "I should've skipped!"
"Calm down; we still got this." Adam tried to reassure her, but it didn't seem to work.
She was utterly and thoroughly panicking!
Crack!
Her marble cracked for the second time. It now looked like it could break from a single touch. She was one loss away from dying!
"Now it's our turn." Adelram said with a chuckle.
Adam looked serious, nodded, and rolled his marble to the center of the table.
Adelram did the same.
After the two marbles stopped, numbers appeared.
"11," Adam said.
"10," Adelram chuckled. "Not so lucky anymore, aye?"
Crack!
At last, Adam's marble cracked.
He had suffered multiple attacking attempts, but finally he lost!
'Cursed!' Adam frowned.
"The sixth round, let's do it."
After he said so, everyone except the First Sister threw their marbles to the center of the table.
The First Sister looked at her almost destroyed marble and carefully rolled it across the table. She was worried if she threw it, it would break!
However, her worries were unfounded, as the marble would only break if she lost the game. After the numbers appeared, everyone spoke their numbers out loud.
"12," Adelram said.
"16," Kol said.
"15," Pandora said.
"4," Gabriel scoffed.
"2," Adam massaged his temples.
"17!" The First Sister exclaimed.
'Good!' Adam thought with a sigh.
Everyone turned to look at the human girl, who was closest to death. If she lost this battle, she would die!
She realized that as soon as she picked up her marble.
'Right, I can die!' The First Sister paled. 'Was it good that I won after all? It would've been better if Adam won, but without my good score, Kol would've won, and he would've attacked me!'
The realization dawned on her.
If she was really unlucky, she could actually die!
It horrified her!
'What to do?' She wondered. 'There is nothing else than attack. I must attack!'
With gritted teeth, she looked straight at Pandora, and shouted. "Pandora. I'll attack her!" "Heh..." Pandora rolled her marble in her hand and said, "Don't want to. I'll skip."
The First Sister's eyes widened in shock, and she collapsed on her chair. She was both angry and terrified.
Her life could've ended right there, but she was also angry at the skip. It was clear that the warlords were trying to push her to the corner.
They were enjoying seeing her suffering!
'This is horrible. I feel like they will just keep using skips to waste our attacking turns. It's effective strategy since there are four of them.'
"Well then, seventh round!" Adelram shouted.
After picking up their marbles, they tossed them to the center of the table. Once again, the
First Sister took real good care of her marble and carefully rolled it.
When all the marbles were in the center of the table, numbers appeared.
"14," Adelram said.
"4," Pandora said.
"3," Kol said.
"11," Gabriel said.
"2," the First Sister swallowed her saliva.
"17," Adam said with a serious look.
'Whew...' The First Sister turned to look at Adam. 'I wonder what he will do.'
"Kol, I'll attack you." Adam said.
He wanted to go after him because he still had all his three lives. It was clear that he had the greatest chance of winning at the current moment.
However.
"I'll skip," Kol said.
'Skip?! Why!' The First Sister thought it was stupid.
'Thought so.' Adam thought.
He had a hunch that they were planning to use skips to waste their attacking turns. Thus, he wanted for Kol to waste his one so that it would be easier to beat him at the later rounds.
"Hmm~" Adelram chuckled. "Eight round."
After rolling their marbles, the numbers appeared for the eighth round.
"5," Adelram shook his head. "Bye bye, luck~"
"13!" Gabriel shouted.
"9," Kol sighed.
"14," Pandora smiled.
"15," Adam said, and he turned to the young woman beside him.
"15..." The First Sister looked at the number and turned to Adam with a genuine smile.
It was great!
They were now both able to attack!
'This is good, but...' Adam frowned. 'I am still worried.'
"Who will you two attack?" Adelram asked.
The First Sister gulped. 'Should I go for one of the two that had already used their skips?'
At that moment, Adam leaned close to her and whispered something. Her eyes widened in
surprise, but she eventually nodded.
"I-I will attack you, Adelram!" She said.
"And I will attack you, Gabriel." Adam said.
"Heh." Adelram shrugged his shoulders but didn't throw his marble. "I'll skip."
"I'll skip too!" Gabriel flexed his muscles.
'They actually skipped...' The First Sister looked at Adam. 'He realized what they were plotting, and now we're the only ones with skips left!'
'These four don't care about winning.' Adam thought. 'They just don't want us two to win.'
Therefore, they were planning on ruining their own game just to waste their attacking turns. It didn't matter to them if they lost as long as Adam, and the First Sister was going to lose! Whether it was pride or childishness, they didn't want to lose to two mortal humans! "Ninth round!" Adelram announced and tossed his marble to the center of the table.
At the same moment, everyone rolled their marbles to the center of the table.
The numbers appeared.
"6," Adelram rolled his eyes.
"9," Kol said.
"14," Gabriel grinned.
However, at the next words, his grin vanished.
"16," Pandora giggled.
"9..." The First Sister's face paled, and she hoped for Adam to get the attacking turn.
However, Adam shook his head. "13."
"Ah, finally my turn-" Pandora's purple eyes turned evil, and she looked straight at the First
Sister like she was nothing but a prey.
'It's over.' The First Sister's lips curled down into a sad look. 'I must skip... I must!'
"You!" Pandora pointed straight at her. "I'll attack you, little girl!"
"S-s..." The First Sister took a deep breath and said. "I'll skip!"
Adam lowered his gaze, his heart heavy.
He didn't have to look to know that the warlords were grinning with happiness. She was now
defenseless, and if any of them got another attacking turn, she would most likely die.
She realized that as well.
'Brothers and sisters...' the First Sister bit her lip.
