YM778.TV Chapter 261 All in
Meanwhile, the transparent screen in front of Hiro kept beeping whenever someone chose him as a fighter.
Ding!
[999,551 spectators choose you as their fighter]
Hiro looked back at the spectators in the Colosseum. From a quick scan, it was very clear that there were far more of them than the challengers. And the numbers listed in front of Hiro’s transparent screen continued to grow.
The spectators that had chosen him knew who he was and followed him from the start until now. However, as the number increased, the burden Hiro carried on his shoulders grew heavier.
And most importantly of all, apart from the lives of the more than a million players that were now entrusted to him, the lives of Liberty and Cara who kept staring at him and occasionally nodding encouragingly were of the utmost importance to Hiro.
Even though his current condition was getting more and more strange, as if the cells in his body were starting to be programmed to end his life slowly, Hiro couldn’t take the two girls to death with him. Because he knew from the look in Liberty’s eyes, that silly girl would only put his name on the list of fighters.
“I don’t think there’s any other choice but to win. No matter what, I have to win this game.” Hiro patted his left chest, which felt very painful like a hand was squeezing it from the inside.
Ding!
[All spectators have chosen their fighters]
Ding!
[1,219,709 spectators choose you as their fighter]
The selection process had ended, and that was the number of lives Hiro would be responsible for. Although he couldn’t compare with other challengers, Hiro felt that one million lives was too big for him.
“Holy shit, pal. Is that even the real numbers?” RedDevilz approached Hiro again. This time, he even peeked at Hiro’s screen, which was displaying the number of spectators who had selected him as their fighter.
Hiro only glanced at him, but he was also curious to compare his own with that man.
“What’s your number?”
“I got only 29, pal. Wow, you must be a famous pro player, aren’t you?”
Hiro couldn’t argue with that one thing. He and Alice had made NightFall’s name deliberately rise to the surface to attract the attention of the world, especially Yuujin’s attention who didn’t know what he was doing right now.
“I wonder how many buffs and items that you will get from them.” That Player RedDevilz really talked too much and liked to intervene with other people’s affairs. But, the man was right.
Hiro had almost forgotten that most important part. The more spectators who chose him, the more items and buffs he would get during the game. So, even though his current state still felt strange, those buffs and items would help him.
“Let’s see,” Hiro said. His eyes looked straight at Liberty and Cara. Liberty waved her hand excitedly. The girl’s reaction looked completely different from the others. She always radiated positive energy whatever the conditions and threats she received.
“Well, at least I am lucky to be a demon bloodline and be your teammate here, pal.” RedDevilz threw a fist at Hiro’s shoulder as if the man already felt familiar with him. Hiro wasn’t upset. RedDevilz’s talkative and friendly attitude actually made Hiro think about Jacob’s fate again.
Jacob was nowhere to be seen. She was not in the spectator’s area or in the battle arena. Noah was the same. It made Hiro even more restless and distracted.
“Can I join you guys? All my friends are my enemy now.” A thin man who wielded a giant boomerang as a weapon joined Hiro and RedDevilz. His gaze was hopeful and his face slightly pale, as if he lacked iron.
“Well, we are on the same team, so … welcome, buddy!” RedDevilz was still friendly and welcoming to everyone.
Hiro just glanced at him. He didn’t give any comments. Because the next second, suddenly the contents of his stomach, which was in the process of digestion, seemed to be pushed up and hit his stomach.
Burp!
“Nightfall, are you really okay?” RedDevilz had been patting Hiro on the back when the man suddenly moved like he was about to vomit in front of him.
Hiro brushed the man’s hand away and then wiped his own mouth.
“I’m fine.”
Hiro still didn’t know what was going on inside his body. He felt more and more uncomfortable as the time for the battle began to draw closer. It was really bothering him now.
[The preparation has been finished]
The transparent screen glitched out again.
[The game will begin shortly]
[All teams must prepare themselves]
Hiro stood, facing the dividing line where the opposing teams started moving in their chosen positions and prepared for the game. Now they could see each other more clearly because of their positions that were facing one to another.
[The Power Generators will start to operate]
Ziiingg!
An extremely loud sound like an engine generator suddenly appeared at the two points of the Colosseum.
One generator appeared in the form of a steel cylindrical tube that kept rotating in place. For the Demon team, the power generator was engulfed with a red glow like hellfire. It was located behind them, directly adjacent to the spectators in that place.
Meanwhile, the power generator of the challengers was covered by green light like trees that lived in the forest. It was also located at the back of their lines so they could protect it from the enemy attacks.
This game reminded Hiro of a traditional game that had been modified into a game of killing and destruction.
To destroy the power generator, of course, they had to pass the guards and protectors. Neither team wanted to lose the game. Everyone wanted to win. That reason was enough of a reason to start killing anyone who got in the way of their victory.
[All players are allowed to use any kind of weapons in this battle]
Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!
Hiro and the others could hear clunking sounds from all directions within the Colosseum. It resonated in the air. However, they couldn’t see where the sound came from until the transparent screen appeared again. It provided new information.
[Special orbs have been scattered in this Colosseum]
[Go get them and you will be surprised by its power!]
