Chapter 208: Another Surprise
No one had expected that Cheryl would voluntarily give up the treasure she had obtained…
The scepter steadily smashed toward Team 2 behind Team 4. A member of their team jumped high and caught the beautiful, decorative scepter.
Getting the item was naturally a happy thing. The captain of Team 2 quickly took the scepter and stroked it carefully. But before he could warm it up, dozens of gazes converged on him. Team 1 and Team 6 also turned their spearheads toward them because of the transfer of the scepter.
The captain of Team 2 swallowed. He suddenly found that the spoil of war in his hand was a bit hot. If it were just one team, they would still have the strength to fight, but now they were facing the focused fire of three teams. He suddenly understood the sinister intentions of Team 4…
The captain of Team 2 had the idea of transferring the scepter again, but looking at the finish line just a few hundred meters away, as long as he put the thing on it, he would win. Victory was so tempting, and his desire to win and fear of losing were too heavy, so his decision was a little late…
Team 4, where Chen Ran was, joined the process of Team 1 and Team 6 encircling and suppressing Team 2. One against three was a bit difficult, but now it was three against one. How could they not be wiped out?
A large amount of firepower poured down. The members of Team 2, who had just been happy, suffered a devastating blow. Two members were directly taken down by a round of focused fire. Next, their tutor was also locked on by firepower and forced to surrender…
Instantly losing half of his men, the face of the captain of Team 2 turned green. Fortunately, Colin was quick-witted. He directly snatched the Victory Scepter from the captain and threw it to Team 6. This thing was trouble in anyone’s hands now…
The spearhead shifted again.
“Damn it, get them!”
The captain of Team 2 was also angry. The originally complete configuration was cut in half in a few moments. He didn’t really expect to win the final victory. Now, he would take down as many as he could to vent his frustration. He immediately condensed a large fireball and, cooperating with Colin’s Thunder Burst, densely attacked Team 6, which had just obtained the Victory Scepter.
The teachers and students of Team 6 felt the pressure. The clever captain also wanted to throw away the hot scepter, but his hand was directly bound by a Heavenly Lock from Chen Ran in the chaotic battle, and he couldn’t throw it out for a long time…
Among the group, the most ruthless was Team 4, where Chen Ran was. For Chen Ran, these three teams were all threats and had to be dealt with. First, defeat the number of people in other teams as much as possible. As long as he maintained the integrity of his own team, it was not impossible to fight 1v3 in the end.
Team 6, which had been secretly tricked by Chen Ran, faced the interception of the berserk Team 2 and Team 1, as well as the heavy blows of Team 4. Half of their members were quickly dealt with, and even the captain holding the Victory Scepter was knocked to the ground. Faced with the painful beating of the powerful melee members of Team 1, he had to surrender first. Even their ninth-tier tutor was not spared. He was harassed by Cheryl and found it difficult to make a move. Then he was tackled by the president of the Knight Department of Team 1, and then followed up by the president of the Swordsman Department. Just as they were about to beat up the highly respected tutor in the school, the ninth-tier tutor was also no match for the focused fire of a group of outstanding students. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he surrendered immediately to avoid physical pain.
At this time, the captain of Team 1, Seiya, snatched the Victory Scepter from the captain of Team 6. Team 6 only had two soy-sauce students left, and Team 2 also had three main students left. Suddenly, it was discovered that only the configurations of Team 1 and Team 4 were relatively complete.
Seiya, who had obtained the Victory Scepter, turned around and wanted to take the scepter to place it. As long as this step was done, they would win. It was only a few hundred meters away, and a sprint would get them there.
But Cheryl blocked their way.
“You can’t pass.”
A red dress was so conspicuous in the field. Cheryl confidently blocked everyone’s way, with one hand on her hip.
Her skirt fluttered, and the aura of fire lingered on her body. For the first time, she activated the power of the Flame Rune on her body, radiating a confident divine brilliance.
“Hmph, is that so?” Faced with this one-on-one situation, Seiya put the Victory Scepter in the pocket behind him. Facing the woman who had defeated him once, he dared not be careless. He held his two-handed greatsword with both hands, took a step back with his right leg, in an offensive posture, and the Holy Mark on his body was activated at the same time. “Do you think I will lose again?”
After releasing these heroic words, Seiya suddenly felt movement behind him. He only felt emptiness behind his back. He quickly turned his head and saw a “creaking” sound. A half-human-high, thin, white-haired monkey had appeared behind him at some point and snatched the Victory Scepter from his back…
“Damn it, where did this cheap monkey come from!”
The white-haired monkey hurriedly ran away, and its speed was surprisingly fast. Its figure could even disappear into the air. No wonder its existence had not been noticed before.
It was in this moment of distraction that Seiya, who had just turned his head, felt a wave of heat coming from in front of him. He instinctively condensed his protective fighting spirit, and then was directly hit by a dazzling explosive flame. His whole person flew high backwards and fell heavily more than ten steps away.
The white knight Seiya got up from the ground, eating a mouthful of dust.
Fortunately, Cheryl had released an instant magic, and the damage was not as high as imagined. It was just within the tolerance range of his protective fighting spirit, but that blow was still not very comfortable…
The Victory Scepter was stolen by the phantom monkey summoned by Dongfang and given to its little master. Then Dongfang threw it to Chen Ran, and Chen Ran threw it high toward Cheryl, who was running forward. After several transfers, everyone’s vision was dazzled, but they saw that Cheryl had already rushed to the front, infinitely close to the statue of the Goddess of Victory…
“Quick, stop her!”
Faced with no one blocking her, Cheryl ran unimpeded toward the finish line of victory. Only then did everyone realize that the few magic and archery tutors who were most threatening to Cheryl had been unknowingly wiped out. If anyone paid attention to the details of the battle, they would notice that the key figures were all dealt with by Team 4, where Chen Ran was.
Really… too sinister…
Everyone finally reacted, but it was a little late…
Scattered firepower was launched at Cheryl in the very front, but it was to no avail. How could Cheryl, who had been buffed with a large number of statuses, be so easily stopped? Before many people could exert their strength, the result of this competition was about to be decided.
In the field, various expressions of unwillingness, helplessness, excitement, and cheers formed a sharp contrast.
Just as Cheryl, who was unobstructed, ran to the area of the Goddess of Victory, a faint cracking sound came from the ground. A large number of cracks spread under their feet, getting longer and longer…
“Is it an earthquake?”
Even the nervous people in the competition were startled by this inexplicable tremor. They saw the earth’s crust shaking more and more violently, and the nearby ghost trees shaking continuously, scattering leaves all over the ground.
Chen Ran came back to his senses and stared at his positioning map. On the map, a huge dot actually appeared, showing as a tenth-tier creature, but at this time, the surroundings were empty.
That meant the danger came from under their feet…
“Cheryl, dodge quickly!” Chen Ran shouted loudly into the distance.
Cheryl, near the statue of the Goddess of Victory, was obviously also aware of it. She could no longer care about continuing forward. A huge earth mound had risen under her feet, and even the entire statue of the Goddess of Victory flew up. The effect of the dawn of victory on the statue was also forcibly interrupted…
The competition was at its most exciting moment. Through the magic projection brought by the Sky Eye effect in the Netherworld, the students in the full house were amazed by the stunning performance of the few groups of students. Seeing that the national idol Cheryl was about to become the winner of this challenge.
An accident suddenly happened. A huge armored spider monster drilled out from the ground. Its body was extremely huge, the size of a house. It had countless tiny eyes on its head. Compared to it, the participating students were like dolls.
Sitting in the audience, the sexy director of academic affairs, Mina, frowned. “Why did a creature from the Inner Netherworld come out?”
Coincidentally, this voice was heard by a female tutor beside her. She asked, “Miss Mina, what is the Inner Netherworld?”
Mina replied, “Only a few people at the top of the academy know the specific details of the Netherworld. The Netherworld is divided into two layers: the Inner Netherworld and the Outer Netherworld. The so-called Outer Netherworld is where the students train. The creatures are at most ninth-tier, and their numbers are few. But the Inner Netherworld is different. It is located deep underground in the Outer Netherworld, where the essence of the Netherworld’s power lies. The creatures there are at least ninth-tier ghost demon lords, tenth-tier ghost kings, and some super Netherworld war beasts. Later, our old principal who discovered the Netherworld sealed several passages to the Inner Netherworld. A statue of the Goddess of Victory used for competition was placed at each entrance to the Inner Netherworld.”
“Then aren’t they in danger now?” the female tutor worried.
“It’s just a restless tenth-tier Netherworld creature. With so many students and tutors, we should be able to handle it. Just don’t go down there,” Mina smiled, looking unconcerned. “Don’t worry. The tutor of Team 6 knows about the Inner Netherworld and won’t let the students suffer too much. But I have to report this to the principal, about stabilizing the broken barrier again.”
Mina stood up and left the theater.
Inside the Netherworld, faced with a huge monster that appeared out of thin air, all the students present were shocked.
A tenth-tier creature, perhaps the most powerful creature these students had ever seen.
This was a metal spider the size of a house. Compared to it, the students were as distinct as humans and mice. The tiny, jumping eyes on its head made one’s hair stand on end.
The metal spider made a sharp, ear-piercing sound. Its chrysanthemum-shaped metal toothed mouth opened and closed continuously. Seeing a group of humans, it was also extremely excited. It swung its sharp, knife-like metal battle legs and attacked the crowd who had not yet reacted.
“Don’t just stand there! We can handle this guy! Hey, you guys with the badges, hurry up and help!”
