Chapter 185: Winter Is Coming [4]
(Extra Chapter because of Magic Castle: 3/3)
***
Amon sighed as he slumped down to the snow from tiredness.
The body of Klein before him dematerialized into blue digital particles before disappearing.
At the same time, the voice of Maxville boomed from above.
[Maxville: Participant Klein from Team B has been eliminated.]
Catching up to his mana, Amon stood up, rubbing his cold gloved hands for some heat.
He had expended mana above the amount he was supposed to for eliminating Klein, which was why he was a little tired.
All because...
He looked back at the storm approaching towards him now.
The second timer of the storm had ended as well and it had started to approach the third target circle.
'Fuck' Amon cursed.
Not because the storm had started to move. No, he had already expected for it to move after he was done with Klein.
But because he was currently out of the third checkpoint.
Which meant the storm was only a few minutes away from devouring him.
Clicking his tongue, Amon pushed lightning around his whole body while immediately jumping on a tree with his usual blood threads.
After this checkpoint, only 3 hours would be left until the challenge would end.
And currently, the second team was down by one member.
BLIZZZZZZZ!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Amon's eyes widened as he felt his blazer flap vigorously and viciously in the air.
He looked back, only to find the storm dangerously close to him.
4 minutes away, if he had to estimate.
Gritting his teeth, Amon was about to push even more mana before he suddenly got an idea. Creating a blood marble, he quickly marked it.
Then coating his whole arm in lightning, he took a familiar pitching position from his previous life.
And then, he pulled back his arm and raised his leg before pushing forward and throwing his marble forward at full speed.
Multiple air rings flew through the air as the marble boomed through the air with Amon following behind it.
And after a few seconds, he spoke up.
[Voidteleport].

Nadia sat down on the ground as the blonde-haired boy before she dematerialized.
The voice from above quickly boomed.
[Maxville: Adam Ravenfield from Team A has been eliminated.]
She was fully covered in injuries.
'How the hell was he that strong?' She thought, wide-eyed.
Multiple cuts and gashes on her body.
All from a single-element blonde-haired body.
[10 Minutes Earlier]
Amon crashed into the surface of the frozen river.
The sheet of ice was quick to give into the pressure, the cracks immediately breaking and
sinking him whole into the cold water.
His eyes shot open as he found the sudden cold assaulting his body.
It made his whole body numb, making pain shoot up through his whole body as it invaded the
cracks from his crash.
Gritting his teeth, Amon immediately used [Voidstep] two times in succession, emerging
right out of the water.
His mouth opened hard as he gasped for air.
Air that he had been unable to get while escaping the storm.
He crawled on the bank of the river, shivering from the cold that made his vision blurry.
His mind was completely frozen, making him unable to think of anything.
Trying to control himself and catch his breath, he slumped down on the ground.
It was only after some minutes, that he was finally able to gain some clarity.
'I swear to myself...'
'I'm never doing that shit again.'
Never in his life would he have expected that the marble was still flying through the air when
he teleported.
Because of that, he crashed straight into the river, unable to control his momentum in time.
At least he was out of the Blizzard again though.
But there was a piece of unfortunate news that he was only able to see while crashing through
the air.
Adam.
He had been eliminated.
And considering that Miller had been clapped by him before, the only person who could do
such a thing was...
Nadia.
Now the teams were down to 2v2.
But since the news was relatively new, that meant Nadia was in a hurt condition right now.
Which was why he had to quickly find her.
But as he pushed mana through his body again, a voice came from above that made his eyes
widen.
Something that didn't happen even in the novel.
[Maxville: The rules of the competition have been changed. The Blizzard time for stay and
catching up has been reduced to 15 minutes.
Additionally, killing the opposing team would not result in a win. The only way to win now is to find the Warm Shelter and the first team to occupy it wins.
If both teams fail to do so, it will result in a draw which means the elimination of both teams.]
