Chapter 4015: Old Friend, Help me



"Thank you," I said to him while walking toward them.

As I did that, the weapons and my armor changed with every step, I took toward them.

Their eyes become serious seeing that, while smiles remain on their faces. They are a threat to me since they all want the top prize.

I am in their way of gaining that, despite saying, I have no interest.

This further escalated after we killed the Kraken.

I looked at my score and theirs; the only thing I would say, they could only match my score. If they kill or make at least three among them, leave.

They will be unlikely to take action now.

Seeing another Kraken might turn up and they don't want my enemy at such a time.

They would want to focus on dealing with construct rather than constantly look at their back for my attack.

Especially when I showed that I could launch a medium-range attack by shooting my lance. It's why some of them became cautious as I crossed half of the distance between us. Though, they might not weigh, seeing there is only. One hour and forty-five minutes had remained before the challenge ended and they lost the chance to kill me.

So, I need to be prepared.

There was barely a hundred meters' distance between us when the transformation was over. The armor looked nearly the same except for small changes like a 26% reduction in the size of my shoes, with some suction cup-like things appearing on my armor.

The biggest changes are weapons.

The lance had disappeared, and I didn't summon my old saber and shield. Instead, there are two weapons in my hands.

Two identical straight swords.

A minute later, I stopped when I was twenty meters away from the person closest to me.

It is the distance everyone is maintaining with each other. They are cautious against me, but also against each other, especially Hayat and Iarys, who are hosts of celestial inheritance. "Anyone think another Kraken or construct would come in this hour?" I asked.

"It's hard to say. If it were to come, it might come when the clock hit twenty or thirty minutes," replied Hayat.

"Good, we should rest in the time we have," I replied, but nobody moved from their spot, including me.

It is going to happen. I could see in their eyes they wanted to finish me.

Soon, the twenty minutes passed, and there was no sound of the door opening. Still, I could see everyone turning alert, with most of their focus on me.

"What are you all doing? Fight!" someone shouted from the stands.

Nobody looked at them. I heard them shouting during the challenges, but I had barely focused on them.

All my focus is on the opponents in front of me.

Minutes passed and soon half an hour was over. All eyes turned the gate for a few seconds, before turning back to me and each other.

"I think, we should fight him. Make him give up, before fighting among ourselves for the top sport," said Aros finally.

He stooks, with tubes coming back to everybody, including me.

"I agree," said Hayat, turning to me.

I am shocked or even surprised, hearing him say that. Instead, I smiled and turned to Anna.

"Old friend, do you mind, handing the other two? I will deal with our former teammates," I

said to her.

"Do I know you? And besides, why would I help you? It is my benefit, that you get

eliminated?" she asked.

"There are several reasons. The first is that you are my friend."

"The second, they will turn to you, after they are done with me, and third, I already told you, I

have no interest in the first prize," I replied.

"I am not naïve enough to believe those words." she shot back, and I sighed.

"I thought you would believe the person, that saved you from that coffin," I said while dramatically putting my hand on my heart, with hurt appearing on my face.

She was shocked.
