Chapter 144: Guda: I Bet on Tom's Victory!
"Now, please take out your freeloading coupons!" Gill's speech echoed through the sky from the giant screen, leaving the audience below puzzled about what was happening.
Upon hearing his words, the onlookers eagerly pulled out their freeloading coupons from their pockets. As they presented their coupons, they noticed that these so-called "freeloading coupons" had a display screen on them.
On the left side of the screen, there was a half-body image of Tom, while on the right side, there was Red Archer's half-body image. Between them was the word "VS," and in the top right corner, it showed "Points: 100."
"As you can see, everyone starts with 100 points, and these accumulated points can be used to participate in the 'EUO Super Lottery Pool,'" Gill explained.
"There are many ways to earn points, and now you have an opportunity to earn points right in front of you. Place your bets and choose the mongrel you believe will win!"
"When the mongrel you support emerges victorious, you will be rewarded with a generous amount of points to use in the lottery, gaining the rewards you deserve!"
Upon hearing Gill's words, the audience's drowsiness instantly dissipated, and they started placing their bets on the freeloading coupons.
"Draw... draw... draw... a lottery?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was in the midst of fleeing, heard these words and suddenly, both of their eyes transformed into the shape of points. The right eye showed 'points,' while the left eye showed 'gacha.'nove(l)bi(n.)com
Accumulate points and then draw a lottery. Isn't this an infinite pool?
"Mashu, quickly head to the freeloading coupon collection point up ahead!" Realizing that this was an opportunity for an infinite lottery, Gudako decisively directed Mashu to veer to the left while they were running.
While in motion, Gudako swiftly snatched a freeloading coupon from a little girl who had just received it from a staff member. It was evident that the key to joining this infinite pool event was the freeloading coupon. If she didn't get it now, she would miss the first opportunity to earn points!
"Oops... Where's the card?" Just as she received the freeloading coupon, a shadow flashed by, and the little girl noticed that the freeloading coupon handed to her by the staff member had disappeared.
"It's okay, little sister. You can hold onto mine, and I'll line up again later." A kind-hearted citizen, seeing that the little girl's freeloading coupon seemed to have vanished, offered his own freshly obtained freeloading coupon to her.
"Thank you, mister..."
Despite the pain in her buttocks, Mashu's speed did indeed increase after Gudako used the instant strengthening on her. C Chulainn, who had already snatched the freeloading coupon from the little girl, was about to catch up, but thanks to Mashu's fart-like acceleration, the gap widened once again.
On the giant screen in the sky, as Tom and Red Archer were about to engage in battle, Gill decisively halted the betting.
"Very well, the betting time is over. Let the battle begin."
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Fight!"
As Gill's voice fell, Tom riding on Spike collided fiercely with Red Archer in the air on the large screen.
"Ahaha!" The moment they clashed, a mischievous grin spread across Tom's face, and he swung his lance downward, aiming for Red Archer's head.
"Too slow!" Seeing Tom's leisurely attack, Red Archer, who was initially somewhat flustered, lifted his foot and revealed a slight smile.
Just as he expected, Tom's strength was indeed formidable, but he had a significant weakness in terms of speed. With such a slow attack, did he really think he could cleave his head with ease? How naive.
However, at the moment when Red Archer confidently smiled, planning to sidestep left or right and evade Tom's powerful strike, he suddenly felt a horrifying realizationhe couldn't swiftly move his body. It was as if his legs were frozen, and no matter how hard he tried to change his position, he remained completely immobilized.
Looking once again at the lance descending towards him from Tom, it was an entirely different experience.
In that moment, Red Archer felt a bold red and bolded word flashing above his head'Danger.'
