Chapter 72 : The Fourth Test

A few hours later, the beginning of the fourth test, Crown Game.

"What do we do, should we join in from the first round, or wait until the third round and beyond?" asked Yukihime, as they had decided to participate in the additional test, even though they had no intention of winning.

"We'll go in the second round. This is an opportunity to get the Green April from that lizard girl," said Akira nonchalantly as he woke up, having been asleep for the past few hours.

"Speaking of which, we need to get 2 of the 13 Month Series," said Asuna, as everyone had been so busy with the tests since their arrival that they had forgotten about their missions.

"Focus on passing the tests for now, as the mission to collect 2 of the 13 Month Series will end with this test. The other mission will wait until the person concerned appears," said Akira as he stood up. The first round had already ended with an overwhelming victory for the lizard girl's team.

"Shall we go…" Akira yawned as he pressed the participation button, as this test wasn't a challenge for them. The weakest person among them, Asuna, was far stronger than the lizard girl.

"By the way, I'll be the one wearing the crown," Akira said as he walked out of the room with the Black March in his hand.

"Then we'll protect you," said Asuna, pulling out a random sword from his storage, as using the Kusanagi sword in this place would have been a waste.

"Asuna, I'll take care of the people on the left, and you handle the ones on the right," said Yukihime, raising her hand indifferently towards the left and calmly uttering, "Nivis Casus."

Swish

In an instant, several ice needles appeared, launching rapidly and with great force toward the other contestants.

Boom

With a loud explosion, three lifeless bodies flew into the air, unable to react to Yukihime's attack, let alone dodge or block it.

"As expected from you, Yukihime-san," said Asuna admiringly as she prepared herself. "Now, it's my turn."

After speaking, Asuna disappeared from her place, and no one could track her, as her power was on a different level compared to the other participants.

"Argh!!" - x3.

In an instant, all participants on Asuna's side had lost consciousness, leaving them unable to continue the fight.

"Lizard girl, no… Anak Zahard, how about a bet between you and me?" said Akira, ignoring Anak's teammates as he approached the throne with the Black March in his hand. "Let's fight. If I lose, I'll give you the Black March, and if I win, I'll get the Green April."

"What do you think? I don't think it's a bad deal for you," said Akira, standing five meters away from the throne. "By the way, if you manage to move me even one step, it will be my loss, while my condition for victory is your inability to fight."

"You!!..." Anak could only glare at Akira in anger and disbelief. She hadn't expected the Black March to be in the hands of a man, let alone that he would be mocking her with a lazy smile. "Fine, I'll defeat you and wipe that smile off your face."

"So, Lero-Ro, what do you say to becoming the judge and witness for this test?" Akira said, staring at the glowing cube floating near the ceiling.

"That golden man… he just called the Test Admin by his bare name," Shibisu muttered in disbelief, as no one dared to do something like that.

"Since both sides agree to this bet, I'll be the judge between you," said Lero-Ro with some fatigue, as he hadn't expected to be involved in this kind of play. No matter how he looked at it, Anak had no chance of winning this bet.

"And the Test Admin doesn't even seem angry," Shibisu couldn't believe what was happening in front of him and felt like he was dreaming.

"Asuna, Yukihime, take care of the lizard girl's companions," said Akira, staring at Anak, who was glaring back at him with bared teeth. It was obvious she was furious. "I'll give you the first hit, so you can't say I defeated you without giving you a chance to do something."

"You!!... How much do you want to mock me before you're satisfied?" Anak could only grind her teeth in hatred, as this was the first time she had been belittled like this since entering the tower.

"I'll make you regret this arrogance, you damned golden fool," Anak said, jumping to the top of the throne with the Green April in her hand. "Ignition!!"

At the moment Anak shouted, the Green April extended, resembling the branches of a tree growing and spreading in all directions.

Boom

Boom

Boom

As the Green April extended, it caused massive damage to the hall. Due to its size and spread, the Green April was hitting everywhere, causing a kind of chain reaction. The speed and power of the branches increased with every impact against the walls.

"I'll crush you," Anak said, glaring at Akira with pure rage and killing intent, as she intended to crush him with all her strength. "Fall!!!"

After her scream, Anak moved her wrist, directing the Green April toward Akira, causing all the scattered roots to gather and rush at him with destructive speed and force.

"Hwaaah~..." Akira yawned, watching the roots charging at him with great power. A lazy smile spread across his lips as he muttered indifferently, "Come on…"
