Chapter 1140 Same but Different

1140 Same but Different

Whoosh!

At the very moment the last person still fighting against their beast finally decided to surrender, Scho'doxa's voice soon echoed throughout the entire arena, causing everyone fighting for their lives to let out wide sighs of relief.

"The second round is now over."

As the people in the arena heard those words, almost all of them ignored the fact that the ground below them was soaked in blood, sitting down as they slumped on the ground.

After getting a bit of rest, those people stood up once more, grinning as they looked at their friends and comrades who'd passed the second round just like them.

However, for those who were slightly more unlucky in their placement, those people were instead placed within the center of carnage, with all of the people that used to surround them now turned into chunks of blood and gore.

Then again, those people surrounded by such a sight instead felt even more relief that they lived to tell the tale, thanking both the heavens and themselves for having the ability to push their bodies as much as they did.

With that, it did not take long for Scho'doxa to make his move once more, teleporting all of the people within the arena away with a sweep of his arms, returning them back to the large field they were in before.

Swoosh!

As the 341 people that automatically passed the second round were teleported back to the field after that, everyone soon began to look up at the man that hovered above them, only now realizing that the man was far more terrifying than he initially seemed.

Oblivious to the thoughts and impressions some of the people had towards him, Scho'doxa briefly glanced over everyone before nodding with a satisfied expression.

"Not bad."

"Out of the 25 million of you that entered the second round, roughly 13 million of you decided to surrender," said the man. "A small portion of those 13 million surrendered just after fighting the first beast."

"After all, even if you live to tell the tale now... that doesn't mean you'll live to tell the tale forever."

"All the advice aside, let me reward everyone for their efforts thus far."

At those words, Scho'doxa waved his arms outward, prompting almost everyone on the field to receive notifications from their systems all of a sudden.

Though, before they could even check on what notifications they received exactly, a set of bottles soon began to fly towards the crowd, all of which contained a golden pill that those excluded from the second round had become more than familiar with.

"Now, before you take those pills, let me tell you something beforehand." Learning from his mistakes during the second round, Scho'doxa went ahead and took the initiative to explain the effects of the pills to everyone.

Naturally, he also explained how the pill's effects would grow better the more rounds they passed. However, that still did not stop some of them from consuming the pills within their bottles without hesitation.

Bitterly smiling at how foolhardy some people were in the face of good advice, the man slightly shook his head before giving everyone a brief explanation regarding the notifications they received.

Talking about the upgrade to their title in detail, even those that automatically passed the second round listened to what Scho'doxa had to say, curious as to whether the man would give tidbits of information that they didn't do.

Surprisingly, he did, causing not only them, but the entire crowd of 6 million people that remained on the field to become excited for the third round.

"Though I'll be giving you all some time to rest after the second round, it doesn't hurt to tell you what the third round is going to be like beforehand." Realizing that he turned a negative into a positive, Scho'doxa faintly smiled as he introduced the next round of the tournament to everyone.

"In short, the third round is the same as the second round, but also different in a way."

"That's because... instead of fighting beasts..."

"You'll be fighting against human puppets!"
