Chapter 138: Mini-Game (II)

With the worker slimes role-playing as a referee for the game as they mimic a flag-raising left and right to make this like a game show, Zen couldn't help but admit this was the best decision he ever made.

The worker slimes were worth the effort and energy for Zen to plot against to corner them into a contract.

'If the worker slime continued to be this creative then maybe it'll be possible for some of them to become a deviant with different magic such as one specializing in healing and one specializing in spying.'

As Zen continued to daydream the day of this possible outcome, the worker slimes who was acting as a referee raised the flag down.

Instantly, Krista Dragoon starts multi-casting 50 light javelin as they all line up in a uniform with the tip pointing directly at the 50 corpses.

Taking a deep breath, Krista Dragoon squinted her eyes as she cast all 50 light javelins to fire at the same time.

Boooooooom

A loud sound echoed in the room when all 50 light javelins stabbed at the 50 corpses and caused them to knock back into the wall.

Zen was rendered speechless when he saw the accuracy of Krista Dragoon as there was no miss in the target despite firing all 50 light javelins at the same time.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon held a smug expression when she saw her results.

"Sister Krista is the best as always. Never missing a single target and got them all at the same time," Leila Dragoon clapped her hand in excitement.

She was agitated to know Krista Dragoon never lost her touch in this game despite having to sit down and scheming from the shadows to go against the empress.

There was basically zero opportunity for her to witness Krista Dragoon's amazing display of skills when she became older.

"Hehe, Leila, this is just a piece of cake for me. I have done something even more difficult and challenging than this. However, I'm afraid someone is getting cold feet about this mini-game we have." Krista Dragoon giggled softly as she glanced at Zen.

Zen tried to avoid her gaze since he doesn't have the confidence to achieve a similar or even more impressive feat than her in this mini-game.

She had a perfect score or at least that's what Zen thought until the worker slimes who went to inspect the hit said something.

"Lady Krista Dragoon was impressive and managed to land almost all the targets. Alas, she made a mistake in this particular corpse as it was missed by a very slim margin but it's still very good." The worker slimes stood next to the corpse that has a light javelin barely missing the circle.

When Krista Dragoon heard that, she raised her eyebrow in surprise. 'It seemed like those years of scheming and fighting against the empress has decreased my skills.'

Krista Dragoon was clearly unhappy with the result since if it weren't for the empress's insidious scheme, she could have spent a lot more time studying magic.

Also, her skills will never deteriorate to the point where she can no longer multicast all 50 light javelins and hit the target at the same time.

Meanwhile, Zen was still nervous slightly since he was even worse than Krista Dragoon in this aspect.

Other than flaunting his essence flame and other techniques, he had never practiced this kind of practical stuff. Especially on accuracy since all he needed to do was make sure his enemy was close enough or his spell was big enough to land on them.

"Hmph, 49 out 50 is still an unbeatable score so good luck." Krista Dragoon said and stepped back a little bit to let Zen do his turn.

The worker slimes were smart enough to clear the 50 corpses and put up another clean batch for their master to display his skill.

All eyes were landed on him, causing more pressure to be placed on him. Zen wanted to just call the game to be over and just ascend to the next floor already.

'Whatever, I dug this hole myself, and losing is fine either way. In the end, we never made an oath to heaven so I can just renege the promise like a little scoundrel which I'm always one.' Zen said inwardly as he walked forward before taking a few breaths to calm his emotion.

Although it was a mini-game, his reputation was on the line here if he failed to live up to his arrogant attitude.

Time passed shortly as the worker slimes finished assembling all 50 corpses for Zen to aim at and Leila Dragoon was looking forward to this situation.

Krista Dragoon also had her eyes wide open to not miss a single thing in case Zen decided to cheat his way to victory.

Zen knew he could not delay any further as he started multi-casting for the first time as well. Unlike Krista Dragoon's bright light javelin, Zen was more like a fire arrow that has been manipulated to a slim and thin size.

It was similar to a needle shape and Zen wanted this kind of shape to lower the amount of concentration needed for it and the mana supplying for the arrow.

He wasn't familiar with controlling too many arrows at once so he took his sweet time to adjust and try to familiarize himself with this kind of feeling.

"Can't you hurry up instead of having the fire arrow hovering around the air without shooting? We don't have much time for you to waste." Krista Dragoon said irritatedly and refused to give Zen any time to practice.

Though they never specified when they needed to start the challenge, she was unwilling to give him such a freebie. It may be unfair or unjust but she was a woman and women always get some advantage against men.

Zen sighed as he nodded his head slightly. He has made sure to calculate the projectile and range of his position to the corpse. Based on his calculation, he was confident enough to land at the target even if his control is shaky.
