Chapter 319: Crushed Pride
The marbles clashed with a forceful impact.
"16!" Adelram shouted.
"13!" Kol shouted.
"12." Gabriel clicked his tongue.
"16," Adam said with a slight hesitation.
This was pretty bad, wasn't it?
'Not good.' Adam frowned. 'Future Sight isn't some all-powerful tool that I've. I don't have a skip left to avoid Adelram's attack!'
"I'll attack Adam!" Adelram shouted. "Come one, who will you attack?"
He didn't want to give Adam any time to think. It was now or ever.
"Kol!" Adam's mind was racing.
Adelram was about to throw, but Adam then raised his hand.
"Wait!"
"?!" Adelram frowned and stopped his throw.
"I want to attack Kol first!" Adam tossed his marble towards Kol.
"Tch!" Kol clicked his tongue and rolled his marble.
'Why him first?' Adelram frowned. 'Did I already fall into Adam's trap? I've got a bad feeling about this!'
The marbles came to a stop in the middle of the table.
"3!" Kol's expression looked ugly.
"2!" Adam shouted.
'If I were against Adam, I could've killed him most likely!' Adelram thought. 'Such a shitty score. How lucky is that bastard?'Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"No!" Kol screamed, and his marble shattered.
During almost the whole match, he had the greatest advantage over them. Surprisingly, he was only fourth place finisher!
The spears came through the ceiling and stabbed through Kol's heart. He died. However, only a few short seconds later, he woke back up.
"Fuck, that was refreshing!" Kol laughed.
"You and me now!" Adelram shouted. "You can't escape this one!"
"No one is escaping!" Adam rolled his marble across the table.
Adelram did the same.
The two marbles smashed into each other. They looked like they were trying to push each other off the center of the table.
In the end, both marbles lost momentum and came to a slow stop.
"6..." Adelram's eyes shook.
"16!" Adam shouted.
"You lucky, motherfuck-
CRACK!
'Thank you, lady luck.' Adam pocketed the marble.
It was now his lucky charm!
"This is..." Pandora hid her face that looked demonic. "A joke."
Their pride had been crushed by none other than a mere mortal, who was as big of a threat to
them as an ant was to a human.
Ridiculous! Laughable!
"You won, congratulations." Adelram clapped his hands. "Whoever wins usually receives
some kind of reward. What do you want, human? No, Adam?"
This mortal in front of them wasn't anymore just any ordinary human. They remembered his name and face. The highest honor that they could give to anyone.
"I just want to leave this place." Adam said. "I want to return to the New World."
SNAP!
Adelram snapped his fingers, and a door appeared behind Adam. It was a door with tons of
chains, locks, and magic spells.
"That's the exit. Your reward!" Adelram stood up. "You've earned it!"
Adam stood up and walked over to the door. He didn't want to spend another second with the
warlords.
He just wanted to leave.
"We will see you again." Adelram said. "In the New World."
Adam turned around and watched as all the warlords stood up. They were all staring at him.
They all wanted to crush and destroy him!
To restore their pride.
'It feels like four Rawkshawn's staring at me.' Adam thought with trembling eyes. 'To think that he is the weakest warlord. If they break out of their prison, the world of mortals will die.' Turning around, Adam opened the door and stepped through the light.
...
Swoosh!
Adam collapsed on his knees as he stepped out of the door. He appeared back in the tutorial's
safe room's basement.
The Door of Sickness was right behind him.
"Cough!" Adam coughed out black blood and gritted his teeth. "Right, I've got to deal with
this fucking sickness now."
After a long day that seemed to never end, he finally managed to leave that wretched place!
However, he was all alone.
He was the only survivor.
'Whoever sent us to this fucking mission will suffer.' Adam wiped the blood off his lips and
walked away.
