1149 Opportunity at Retaliation
Just as those words left Scho'doxa's mouth, the man swept one of his arms to the side, causing a portion of the people on the field to teleport on the floating platforms.
Surprisingly, one of those chosen was Valyr.
Whoosh!
Though he'd been caught unaware when he was teleported to one of the platforms, the young man immediately understood what was going on, reminding himself that he'd only gotten a pass up to the third round.
Now that it was the fourth round, he had to participate in the tournament just like the others, especially if he wanted to obtain all of the best items the tournament could give him.
'According to Scho'doxa earlier, there's a hundred people on each platform.' Recalling the explanation he gave to all of them, Valyr pushed his perception to the limit to see what kind of people he'd be fighting against.
Of course, he reminded himself that his only goal was to push all of the other people off the platform while doing so, considering that none of them knew each other.
By the time he was done looking around, he got the feeling that most of the people on the platform had a strength that hovered between the peak of Rank 3 to the peak of Rank 4.
With that, the young man nodded to himself, more than confident that he'd be able to clear the fourth round without much problem.
However, as he glanced at his opponents once more, he soon noticed a couple of people staring at him.
Raising his eyebrows in slight curiosity, the young man went ahead and activated [Hunter's Tracking Eyes] to push his vision just a bit further, only to wryly smile once he realized who those people were.
"Out of all the coincidences I thought might happen... this isn't one I was expecting."
Unexpectedly, the other side took notice of him as well, their expressions changing once they realized he was on the same platform as them.
"The heavens are truly just!" said You with rage-filled glee, his hands itching to return the humiliation Valyr gave them. "Haha... to think we'd meet each other on the round where killing is permitted."
"From this day onward, Ylvar will learn that the Shou brothers are not to be trifled with." As these words left his mouth, You glanced at Zuo, receiving a firm nod from the latter in response.
At the same time, he flared out his aura in its entirety, causing those who thought he was easy pickings to immediately change their targets to someone else.
Unfortunately for them... that didn't mean Valyr changed his targets as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Though he made sure to not severely injure those he hit with his spear, Valyr showed no hesitation in maneuvering his spear in various ways, sending a couple of people flying off the platform with every hit.
Because of that, it did not take long for the number of the people on the platform to go below half, only for it to reach less than 20 not even 10 minutes later.
At that point, it turned into a game of chase as each person had more than enough space to roam about.
Nevertheless, with his insanely high stats for his rank, coupled with his arsenal of stat-boosting skills, Valyr was still able to send one or two people off the platform every couple of minutes, slowly decreasing the remaining number of opponents he had to fight.
By the time half an hour since the fourth round began, only 10 people remained on the platform Valyr was in, all of which had their own set of skills that allowed them to stay on the platform for so long.
Taking a bit of time to catch his breath as he was the main culprit for sending the most people off his platform, the young man's expression turned slightly grim when he noticed a few people appear in front of him.
However, that expression immediately turned into a faint smile once he recognized who the people were.
"Finally decided to make a move, huh?"
