Ch. 11 Crowns Game pt. 2

( Third Pov )

" Did you see that? He fought the three of them and passed the first round!" Bam exclaimed as Khun nodded.

" Yes. I saw that."

' To get back up after a heavy strike like that and win... he must've used a lot of energy, and I'm sure everyone noticed that as well.' Khun thought as he observed Zero in the distance.

" Hmph!" Rak snorted as Khun looked at him.

" You fought Zero before, right? How was it?" Knuh asked, catching Bams attention.

" A good hunter." Rak replied as he stared at Zero, ready to fight him for the second time.

< Since Mr. Zero had sat on the chair before the five minutes elapsed. This rounds winner is Team Zero.>

( Zero Pov )

It was luck when I finally thought it over.

It was luck that I managed to realize the stairway behind me.

I took a food packet from my jacket and started eating it.

' Chips...' The food was still random but instilled in it nonetheless.

I felt my body rejuvenate as I ate the food.

' I think these food packets are for recovering.' I thought.

The ranker began to explain that I couldn't move from the throne till the fifth round.

' Wrll, that's troublesome.' I thought.

Before the second round began, I looked through my status.

' I need a defensive skill.' I sighed as I heard the countdown.

" 4!...5!....begin!!"

I heard the gates opening and j grabbed my sword.

Three people were walking with a flaming fish, and the other two had melee weapons, and the other team was two girls.

The one arguing with tracksuit at the shinsu wall test and the other a blonde woman with red horns.

If there's someone I'm really working about. It's the sleeping man in the distance.

" Sigh, to be honest with you all. The only person I'm really worried about is sleeping beauty in the cage."

" But if you want to fight, it's best you come to me since I can't leave my throne." I spoke.

I waiting to see which one would be riled up, but it seemed to be useless as they all calmly stood in front of me.

I sighed.

" Sigh, forget it."

I waved my hand down to use telekinesis to bring them to the floor.

They all dropped to the ground.

" Still sleeping..." I muttered as I clenched my fist, crushing the people below me.

" Looks like all of you will die here. " I coldly stated.

The man opened his eyes and opened his blanket, and lifted his hand. i stared at him.

A sense of danger filled my body as I activated [ Sharingan ].

Something was moving in the air before turning into a light as he pointed at me, and with [ Quick Reflexes ], I used Telekinesis to make a barrier.

' That's..shinsu!!' I widen my eyes to capture this moment.

The shinsu was reflected as I felt a small connection to it.

[ Instant recall ] reminded me of my title [ Irregular ]

' To use Shinsu. Then...'

After the attack was finished, I looked at the man.

I remembered how he controlled the shinsu.

' It was like this?' I held my palm up as a small floating light appeared.

' So... this is shinsu.'

It had a cool feeling instead of the warm feeling Mana had.

It felt like I was touching water.

[ Shinsu Manipulation]

[ Level 1/10 ]

Another wave attack came as I lifted the telekinetic barrier.

[ Telekinetic Barrier]

[ Level 1 -> 2 ]

I felt my brain hurting, but I pushed through the pain.

In the corner of my eye, I saw the other getting back to their feet.

" Tsk." I jumped on top of the throne to dodge the rest of the shinsu blast.

The others started attacking from below.

[ Brutal cleave ]

One slash killed one and injured the second.

" Flame of death!!" The large man shouted as I cut off his arm.

" Ah?"

[ Thrust ]

The sword stabbed through his face as I looked at the rest.

One crawled away as his body was almost cut into two.

I stared at the sleeping beauty in the distance as he charged another attack.

" Give us the crown. I can attack you from anywhere." The man spoke

" Come on!" I shouted as he unleashed his attack.

With one hand, I blocked the attack and blocked the woman's knife.

I ducked my head to dodge a kick from behind.

The two girls were behind the barrier as I was ready to deactivate the barrier.

Amd it seemed sleeping beauty read my intention as he stopped the attack.

With my other hand freee I grabbed the horned woman's neck and slashed at the woman who blocked with her knife, which cause her to fall off the throne.

I held the horned woman in front of me.

" Try attacking." I spoke as I stared at the man's eyes.

He looked hesitant as the othe rwoman got back to her feet.

" Hey! You coward! Using a woman as a shield! Why don't you fight like a man!!" The woman tried to rile me up, but it didn't faze me

I looked at the woman who was running short on breath.

But something felt off about this woman. And I wanted to see what would happen if I pushed her a little more.

" Wait! Wait! We quit!" The woman shouted as I looked at her before looking at the man.

He too surrendered.

I threw the woman to the floor, and I sat back down on the throne after kicking the corpse off.

The three of them returned to their rooms.

I was about to relax when I heard a commotion. I looked behind to see the green girl inside Bams room.

" What's happening here?" I muttered.

It seemed there was something special about Bam's stick.

' 13 something and Jahad?' I looked to see the Ranker Lero Ro behind the green girl to stop her.

But something was wrong as they continued to chat.

I put my chin on my palm as I tried to decipher their language.

' Bet....team...green April and black march?'

And it didn't take long for Khun to start shouting about accepting.

The Ranker walked his way towards me with a smile.

" Mr. Zero, there's a new rule added..." he banned speaking about the bet between the green girl and Bam.

" And if I win?" I asked.

" Well... what do you think?" He smiled.

" If I win, both bets are nullified." I replied.

Lero nodded as he walked away.

' Although getting a famous weapon was cool but I still enjoyed the greatsword. '

Bam's team and the green girls team stayed.

' Really wishing I had a gun right now.' I thought as I observed each one teams.

It seemed luck was on my side as i saw a man with a rifle behind his back.

I smiled as the teams surrounded me.

I tilted my head to dodge a marble.

I used telekinesis to take the man's rifle before he could react.

I asked it at the marble man.

" Ah?" Bang!

His dead body fell to the floor.

Everyone froze as I they realized how fast that man died.

" I'm definitely keeping this." I muttered.

" My rifle." The man cried.

" Run away. It's your best chance at surviving." Some walked back to their rooms except a few.

" Do you really want to fight?" I didn't receive an answer as they rushed at me.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bodies fell in quick succession.

I looked at the remaining team as they slowly back off amd back into their rooms.

' It would be a smart idea to retreat with their lives, and after this, it's Bams team and the green girl's team.

I sat back down on the throne as I observed the rifle.

' Not much ammo. It's best I use it wisely.'
