Chapter 62: Deathmatch Results (2)


    In the blink of an eye, all eight representatives turned into lifeless corpses.


    .


    [.]


    A hushed silence fell over the spectators.


    No exceptions, whether angels or humans.


    The result was disheartening, yet not entirely unexpected.


    After all, the level disparity in this match was insurmountable.


    But to have it end so anticlimactically


    [.]


    The angels didnt voice their thoughts, but their puzzled expressions spoke volumes.


    [Its over?]


    [ck Scythe won?]


    [So, we have to treat Olivier, the assigned angel to ck Scythe, like a king for a while?]


    [Oliver!]


    Priscis face contorted into a malicious scowl.


    [You knew it would end like this, didnt you?]


    [Yes, I did.]


    [Of course! You tricked us all with this proposal, knowing youd win!]


    [What nonsense.]


    [What?]


    [I suggested a game that would favor me, obviously. Why else would I propose it?]


    [.]


    Olivers confident response left Prisci momentarily speechless.


    [And did I threaten any of you into making a bet with me? No, I didnt. You all agreed to the wager, iming itd be fun. But now you want to say otherwise?]


    [Yiiiiik!]


    Priscis rage was evident as her under-eye area trembled visibly.


    [Whats making you so upset? Or is it involuntary? Maybe you should take some supplements; they say eye twitching in the human realm is caused by ack of magnesium.]


    [You!]


    [What? Are you going to fight me?]


    Prisci was about to rush forward but hesitated at Oliviers words.


    [Go ahead if youre so confident. Do you really want the angels to lose their dignity in front of the humans? Youll end up in a containment pouch, and even the Archangel wont save you.]


    The mention of a containment pouch brought Prisci back to her senses.


    A containment pouch was a degrading punishment where insects were confined to a cramped space of about 0.5 square meters. It was a humiliating penalty for dignified angels.


    [I hate containment pouches I really do!]


    Just the thought of it made her shudder, and Prisci reluctantly stepped back, quelling her anger.


    [What now? Not up for the challenge?]


    [..]


    [Well thought. You should be thanking me instead. If I hadnt warned you, youd have had a 100% chance of ending up in a containment pouch.]


    [T-Thanking you, for what? Thats ridiculous!]


    Although she shouted in frustration, Oliviers words were true.


    Unbelievably, Prisci felt a sense of gratitude toward her.


    [Anyway, as per our bet, Im the king now, right?]


    []


    [Prisci, youll handle the orientation for the Unified Area for a while.]


    [F-For how long?]


    [Until I feel better.]


    []


    [What are you waiting for? Arent you eager to get started?]


    An expression of injustice shed across Priscis face.


    She looked around at the other angels, seeking their help, but they all turned away.


    [Sigh Why did I agree to this bet?]


    Reluctantly, Prisci flew above the yers heads.


    A bet was a bet, after all.


    [Ahem, yers. As you can see, we have a new Unified Area Representative.]


    As Prisci pped her wings, a message appeared in front of the yers.


    [yer ck Scythe has be the new Unified Area Representative (C-ESKS007).]


    Ryu Min, unfazed by the expected oue, pretended to be nonchnt and merely checked his skill window.


    [Temporary Skill  Domination]


    -Effect: This skill allows the yer to issuepellingmands and take control of others.


    The affected yer cannot resist thesemands under any circumstances.


    It can be used up to 10 times, and once all opportunities are exhausted, the skill disappears.


    Only onemand can be given to each yer.


    However, please note that this skill will not work on yers with a higher level than the user.


    The sole difference between Domination and Command Authority lies in one key aspect:


    The former can be employed whether the targeted yer has a job or not.


    Ryu Min pondered, While there is now a level restriction, it remains an extraordinary privilege. With higher levels, anyone can be dominated.


    In other words, with his level 30 prowess, Ryu Min could potentiallypel anyone to obey his will.


    Could the representative hesitance at first be because they understood this fact? Fearful of showing any hostility that might render them vulnerable to the Domination skill?


    [Now that the verdict is reached, I shall resurrect the other fallen yers.]


    A radiant light erupted within the arena, miraculously bringing back to life the eight yers who had previously lost their heads.


    How is this possible?


    I vividly remember having my head severed


    [You all perished at the hands of ck Scythe. Thus, the new Unified Area Representative is ck Scythe.]


    Ah


    Is this how it ended then?


    To some extent, they had anticipated their inability to defeat ck Scythe, as they were merely forced into the battle, struggling against the angels punishment.


    [With a new Unified Area Representative appointed, the representative authority of the resurrected yers will be withdrawn. Do not be disheartened, though. Opportunities to reim the representative position will always exist,] Prisci assured them.


    Yet, despite the mention of another chance, the yers did not appear pleased.


    After all, their opponent was none other than ck Scythe.


    It felt like attempting to conquer an impregnable fortress.


    [Now that the extra game has concluded, let us proceed to the main quest,] Prisci announced, her wings flickering with grace.


    As she did so, the quest window materialized before them, beckoning them into the next chapter of their journey.


    ROUND 5


    Defeat 300 Orcs per person within 10 hours.


    Collect 4 Bnce Stones.


    Reward upon sess  ????


    [All Areas]


    Participants: 77,310,228


    Achievers: 0/19,327,557


    [Current Area C-ESKS007]


    Participants: 4,844


    Achievers: 0/1,211


    The yers scrutinizing the quest window were taken aback.


    What? Defeat 300 Orcs?


    And why are there so few achievers?


    Looks like its just a quarter of the participants.


    Priscis patience wore thin with the yersints.


    [Why so ungrateful? Is it the low achiever count? Should I make it even lower?]


    The yers remained silent, heads lowered.


    [Youve had easy rounds so far, but this time, weve made it more challenging with fewer achievers. But dont get discouraged]


    But is defeating 300 Orcs really that difficult?


    Arent Orcs just cannon fodder in games?


    Prisci felt irked by their ignorantments.


    [Hmm, youll realize how tough it is once you experience it. I wont say more.]


    Angel! What about the Sub Quests?


    Why is the reward marked with a question mark?


    In response to some inquiries, Prisci replied matter-of-factly.


    [For this round, unlike before, the Sub Quests are publicly revealed. As for the reward, its a secret.]


    Though she called it a secret, Ryu Min knew what it wasthe Bnce Rune is the reward forpleting the Sub Quest.


    The Bnce Rune must be obtained in this round bypleting the Sub Quest.


    He was determined to im one of the 18 essential runes listed for the Sub Quests reward this time.


    But only one person can get the Sub Quest reward.
