Last Shelter Online-Chapter 260 Game of Challengers

From above the sky that had turned very dark with thunder and lightning flashing, the black clouds seemed to keep moving and then clumping together until they resembled a human face with a pair of long straight horns sticking out in front of his forehead.

The lightning continued to strike and made the face that had just appeared look even more sinister. The players who didn’t know each other even got themselves closer to one another because they felt threatened.

Neither of them had ever seen the silhouette of the face formed by the black clouds. It was the first time he had shown himself. After being perfectly formed up there, a very heavy and deep voice and no less thundering than a lightning strike suddenly boomed in the sky as the clouds that framed a mouth seemed to move.

“I’ll be watching the Game of Challengers from up here. My body is currently in the deadly tower, but my eyes can see wherever you are. And today, whoever wins the game will be my first opponent.”

Hiro swallowed hard. Just from the look on his face, it showed that the demon king’s appearance was even more intimidating than WynterRain’s. However, it was not rare for games that had bosses with intimidating appearances to lose to bosses with high intelligence like WynterRain’s.

Even though his body still felt very strange, Hiro kept trying to focus and fight to survive in this game, or he would end up being miserably killed.

“I am one of the demon kings in the Last Shelter Online: The Dark War. I hold the power that you will never be able to imagine.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Zzzapp!

His laughter was accompanied by lightning strikes from all directions. The lightning flash spread all the way down to the Colosseum arena where the players were now gathered and waiting for the game to begin. It was very terrifying. Not a few of them screamed in fear and wanted to be free from the disaster immediately.

“Let the game begin.”

At the same time as the face in the sky said his last words, hundreds of orbs suddenly appeared around the Colosseum area. It gave off an additional bluish-white light that was bright enough for anyone to see the surrounding area clearly.

Ding!

The transparent screen appeared again in front of all the players now. New information was received by them simultaneously.

[The Game will begin shortly]

[There are two challenger teams at this time.]

[The Demon team with the total number of participants is 1,051,099 players.]

[The Human team with the total number of participants is 2,157,094 players.]

[There are two power generators in this battle arena.] 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

[One belongs to The Demon Team, and the other belongs to The Human Team]

[The Power Generators will bring special buff for the team that can steal the special orb scattered and hidden in this Colosseum]

[To stop this round, one of the power generators should be destroyed]

[This is a free-to-kill game of challengers, but killing players are only for fun and no point will be granted]

Hiro frowned. He had already marked two big sentences that made him racked his brain out. First was the sentence that orbs were scattered and hidden in this Colosseum. That sentence made Hiro think that the spectators’ area was also included because it was still in the Colosseum’s territory.

The second sentence that made Hiro sure he had to save his energy as best as possible was the word to stop this round. He believed there would be a second round that had not been mentioned by the system in front of him.

Ding!

[To all spectators]

[You are here not only to enjoy the game by watching them dying or being slaughtered]

[You have to put a bet on participants with a maximum two players’ names]

[Your fates are in their hands]

[You can purchase any item and buff every 15 minutes from the floating markets and give them to your selected players]

[When one of your players gets killed and dies, you are free to bet on a new surviving player on the battle ground]

[But, when you don ‘t have any players surviving left, you will follow them to the darkest section of this world and never be able to come back.]

Everyone immediately whispered to each other. Those who had been cheering loudly because they thought they came for just watching the game were now silent and had pale faces. Their lives were in danger even if they just stood there and watched.

There wasn’t a single player who wasn’t transferred to that place, and not a single of them could run away from the place and the game. All the Last Shelter Online players seemed to have participated in the first game since the attack.

Hiro reflexively looked at Liberty and Cara. The two girls seemed to be discussing with each other with serious faces for a few seconds before both of them simultaneously looked at Hiro and nodded their heads at the same time.

Ding!

[To All spectators]

[Now is your time to choose your own fate]

On the transparent screen of the spectators now showed a list of players participating as challengers in the game. Both Liberty and Cara already knew who they were going to vote for. The two of them showed their screens to each other and nodded when they managed to come up with a name.

[NightFall]

[You are choosing NightFall as your fighter, are you sure with your option?]

“Yes.” Liberty and Cara didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

[NightFall is now your fighter]

[Please choose one more fighter to guarantee your life!]

“I do not need the other. I trust my whole life only to him,” Liberty said, making Cara, who had previously seen other player profiles and sorted them by battle rating, cancel her intentions on pressing the select button to one of the names that appeared on the screen.

“Liberty, are you sure about that?” Cara asked in reflex.

Liberty nodded, then smiled at her. “Absolutely. Besides, my life has no meaning if he gets killed. I will die with him.”

Seeing the confidence on Liberty’s face made Cara immediately close the page she was opening.

[You have decided to not choose one more fighter at this moment.]

[You can only choose one more fighter when the game has passed 15 minutes.]

[Make sure that your fighter will survive before the time runs out]

“This machine can not stop babbling,” Cara grumbled while rolling her eyes in annoyance.

Ace was there too, but he was sure that Liberty would not listen to him if he gave her advice to register one more name. Besides, he was busy scanning the players and trying to find his missing friends.
