Chapter 730 - Thailand Versus Taiwan I

Another battle has erupted on the east side of the second event map while the other four teams are fighting. This battle is not as famous compared to the other two sets of matches, but it also garnered the attention of those that want to see new races in action.

Each of the countries have to players that are not of the standard race. On the Taiwan National Team, there are two players that have looks that can only be attributed to a fish and a monkey. On the Thailand National team, there are two players that can be attributed to a bird and a snake.

The one attributed to a fish in the Taiwan National Team looked like a full-on mermaid. Not the ones that are described as a beautiful maiden with the lower half is that of a fish kind. She could be beautiful, but her avatar is not showing her face as she is wearing a mask that resembled an anglerfish' face.

The cool thing about her avatar is that she is actually floating on air while she is holding a trident that keeps swirling water. Adrian has seen merfolk before, but they are not like Renyu as she kept her fish tail with her on dry land. Usually, merfolk that travel via the land will lose their fish tail in exchange to walk on land, but they also become weaker in the process.

It is also difficult to see what she looks like, but her hair is definitely in an aquamarine colored and her ears resembled that of fins. Her arms are also covered with rainbow-colored scales that give off a beautiful reflection of light shines upon it.

Merfolk is actually not very good with light as they are actually a combination of two elementals of both water and darkness. They can only exert their full potential in dark places filled with water which is why there are legends that mermaids die if they are bathed in the first ray of the sun while half submerged in water.

There is some truth to the legend, but they are only weakened as a result of that and not really killed since they possess physical bodies. Although the mermaids descended from both water and darkness elementals, they are unforgiving when someone enters their territory. They will drown those that fall prey to their beauty.

The other person from the Taiwan National Team that is of another race is Nishui. He has the qualities of a monkey, but his fur is actually blue instead of a darkish brown color. The aura around him also seems like the water element loves him because of the cool unbothered look he has about the intense heat of the sun.

He is almost dressed like that of the Demon Monkeys, and someone would think that he is actually a part of them, but he is not. He is of a different race called the Wuzhiqi which is a very rare race that is not often seen on land due to their introverted and uncurious nature.

People only knew his race as some of the players conducted interviews before the second event and some boasted about them being of a different race. They did so deliberately in order to garner the attention of the crowd towards them as being different makes anyone stand out.

It is also a way for them to get sponsors since modeling items using your in-game avatars are a big thing now in the advertising industry. Many of the companies that are watching the Pandelympics are also scouting for the next face of their products. They adapted this strategy due to the overwhelming demand from the fans of Pandemonium.

Not much is known about the Wuzhiqi except that they look like monkeys that have great affinity for the water element. Actually, the Wuzhiqi would be mad at anyone calling them as monkeys because they call themselves as water goblins.

The Wuzhiqi just happen to have some similarities with monkeys, but they are indeed a type of goblin that is of a higher persona. Their ancestors could be traced back to being of a fae that fell from grace or mated with a sea creature which then produced the Wuzhiqi.

It is said that the Wuzhiqi could easily create whirlpools or command the tides with the special abilities that they have. Not only that but they also have great physical bodies that can hit just like that of a tsunami.

One of the two new races in the Thailand National Team are that of the Naga Race that players already had a glimpse since their race participated in the war between the dark god that descended. The other is that of the Garuda which is said to be half bird half human but have mostly bird features.

The Naga player is named Ngu and is using a spear that has the same reach as that of her tail. The snake scales on her lower body offer enough protection against attacks that she no longer needed to weak armor there. The only thing that needs armor is her upper body that is the same of a woman.

Her upper body is covered with some sort of armor that is made of pearls. Nagas are said to have eyes that have the power of the Curse of Petrification which is why they are often persecuted but that is actually not true.

They are actually similar to mermaids, but they are descendants of water and earth elementals instead of being descendants of water and darkness elementals. The Nagas are a race that are proud fighters and only those that can defeat foes bigger than them are considered as adults. They are also usually twice the size of a human which is why Ngu looks gigantic compared to the other participants.

Although it is not only size that is their advantage but the body strength of Nagas could easily block a metal sword. They are tough due to the earth element that they have mastered.. Their lower half is also a deadly weapon if someone were to get caught.
