Chapter 1148 The Fourth Round

1148 The Fourth Round

"...People?" Unsurprisingly, a number of people on the field immediately paled the moment those words left Scho'doxa's mouth.

After all, with the rounds that they've gone through so far, they were led to believe that the two remaining rounds of the tournament would more or less have the same mechanics.

However, with Scho'doxa giving them a grim reminder that the tournament would proceed differently to how they thought, some of them began to shudder in fear, asking themselves if they had what it took to kill other people.

Fortunately, the majority of the people on the field were indifferent, perhaps even inclined towards the matter. With that, they used his words as a reminder of what was to come, preparing both their bodies and minds for the bloodshed that might greet them on the fourth round.

Unlike those who thought that there wasn't much risk to the tournament overall as long as they were careful, most of them recalled the words Scho'doxa said to them at the beginning involving how the five rounds worked.

Though some of them were taken aback when the second and third round slightly veered away from their initial thoughts of bloodshed, the thought of possibly having to kill for their own gain never truly left their minds.

Because of that, the entire field gave off a somewhat tense atmosphere after Scho'doxa was done talking, with a considerable portion of people looking at the people surrounding them.

After all, who knew if the people surrounding them at that moment would become the opponent they had to kill in the next round.

Then again, not all people were like that. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

For those who were confident in their own strength, they acted as if the next round was just like any other round that came before it.

Of course, Valyr was one of them.

"So, how did you guys do during the third round?" Having located where Julian and the others were after being teleported out of the arena, it did not take long for the young man to make his way to them.

"We did alright, I guess." Looking at the three accompanying him for a bit, Wells eventually looked back at Valyr with a slightly wry smile. "Was able to clear the medium difficulty during the third round. Though, I should've probably taken the hard difficulty with how easy it was."

Faintly nodding at Wells' words, Valyr then looked at Edward, who beamed a wide smile at him. "Highest difficulty there is. Cleared it without a problem."

"Had a feeling you'd say that," replied the young man with a slight chuckle. "After all, you did get the special reward during the second round."

After asking Julian and Noel as to how they fared during the third round, he then asked the four if he could see the rewards they got for the difficulties they cleared.

Considering that many other people on the field cleared the same difficulties they did, the four had no problems in doing so, allowing Valyr to take a look at the difference between his reward and theirs.

With Edward getting the best reward during the third round, it went without saying that Valyr focused his attention on his tonic first, activating [Superior Analysis] the moment he could.

Surprisingly, it did not take long for him to understand why Scho'doxa told him his reward was better, seeing that the tonic Edward got only increased the potency of the items' effects by 50%.

"What's wrong?" Seeing as Valyr's expression turned grim the moment he heard Scho'doxa's words, Julian immediately looked at him with slight concern.

In response, Valyr gave the four a brief explanation as to what a battle royale was, with a couple people around them even listening in on their conversation.

Of course, by the time he was done explaining, almost everyone who listened in began to prepare for the fourth round as best as they could, with some even shuddering in fear because of it.

As for Julian and the others, the four merely had grim expressions on their faces as they nodded, knowing that there wasn't much they could do about it as long as they planned on continuing to participate in the tournament.

While Valyr had just finished his explanation on what battle royales were, Scho'doxa explained the mechanics of the fourth round to everyone in detail, talking about how each platform would house a hundred people each.

"The only goal is to be the last one standing on the platform," said the man. "As long as you push others away from your platform, that's more than enough for them to be considered disqualified."

"However, not all people within your platform might think that way," he continued, his eyes carrying a slightly ferocious glint. "After all, there are times in our lives where we have to be a bit aggressive to get what we want."

At that point, everyone more or less knew why Scho'doxa told them to prepare for the fourth round, continuing to listen to the man's words regarding how the fourth round worked.

By the time the man was done with his explanation, he let out a slight exhale before giving the information a number of people wanted to hear.

"Unlike the rounds that came before, forfeiting during the fourth round isn't an option," said the man, immediately causing those people to pale in fear once more.

Fortunately, the man's next words were more than enough for their color to return. "However, any person who gets pushed off the platform or jumps off the platform is considered disqualified and is immediately sent back to your home planet."

"Of course, for the sake of efficiency, I'll be asking right now if any of you want to forfeit before the fourth round even begins."

Unexpectedly, over a million people voiced out their forfeit the moment Scho'doxa was done talking, causing a wry smile to appear on the man's face as he sent them back to Veldanyr.

Letting out a faint sigh after that, he then swept his gaze over the 2 million people that remained. "I suppose none of you want to forfeit as well?"

Receiving a shake of heads in response to his question, the man nodded back with a faint smile before hovering in the air once more.

"If that's the case, then let the fourth round begin!"

Whoosh!
