Ch. 3 Crown games(1)

" I'm Princess Androssi!" The other woman announced with a smile on her face but ignored her as I kept my focus on Akryung.

" Hey!! Don't ignore me!!" She shouted.

< Master...>

< Take the shotreplied.

An arrow shot at Androssi, and her shield manages to block it. I quickly dashed at Akryung as he swung his spear down at me as I punched the Spears pole arm bending the metal as my fist began to bleed.

I punched his knee, which caused him to kneel as I repeatedly punched his body before uppercutting was chin again.

< Atalanta!>

An arrow shot at Akryung's neck at the opening, but it seemed the arrow wasn't enough as he punched me, which I managed to block before being kicked by Androssi to the side.

< Master, do you wish for help?> She asked.

" Haa..."

< Yeah, these two are too much to handle. Thank you.>

I had to swallow my pride.

I rolled away to dodge Androssi's kick before she retreated as she dodged a few arrows from Atalanta.

" Master, do you need help getting up?" She asked as she kept her bow on the two opponents.

" No... I'm alright." I replied as I felt my ribs healing.

" Alright, new plan." I smiled as I created a spear.

[ Exploding spear! ]

I threw the spear at Akyung, who dodged the spear, but it landed next to him as it exploded, and he flew back while Androssi was proceeding by her floating shield

" Times up!!" Before Atalanta and I could use this chance, the speakers announced the end of the test.

' Sigh, finally.'

" Crowns game, huh? Seems interesting, wanna try Atalanta?" I looked at Atalanta, who nodded.

" If we want to reach the top the fastest then we can use this chance to go to the next floor." She replied.

" We'll join." I looked at the test administrator.

" We-we'll take it as well!" I looked to the side to see the woman who spoke.

Rachel, I finally remembered her name... and her foul personality. I seriously need to make a way to remember everything or, better yet, just make a book of Tower of god with my ability and review from there.

We were taken to another room, the room where the game would start.

Atalanta and I listened as the rules were being stated.

" So, you wanna take the first round, or should we wait?" I look at Atalanta whi closed her eye.

" It's wise if we let our prey run out of energy first." She replied. I nodded and continued to observe the fight that was about to begin.

Two teams choose to participate in the first round. It seemed the lizard girl went first as her two teammates stood by. The other team seemed irritated by this, and one of them went to fight her alon as well but failed as she hit him with her palm.

" Wow." I exclaimed as I watched the man fly back to the wall. The teams tried to fight her, but her weapon grew like a whip.

' Or... a hook?' I tilted my head as I tried to remember the weapon.

' It was green something... ah! Green April!' I remembered as I saw one of the opponents land a hit on her but didn't do much to her as she glanced at him. she grabbed his arm, crushing it as she threw him across the room.

Atalanta seemed interested as well as she observed the fight. The last member tried to attack as well but miserably failed. Once again getting up he tried to fight her.

His teammates appeared and tried to run at the throne but failed as the lizard reached landed on it, surprising them. She swung her needle, knocking the team back.

" I'm not gonna lie, thay was badass." I smiled as I saw Atalanta' s grumpy look.

" Ehh, forget I said anything." I looked away and back at the show.

The lizard wore the crown and slouched on the throne as her teammate yelled at her.

" Well, that's a bad move... but considering her strength and weapon, she looks confident." I observed, " But she's obviously setting bait." I muttered, which caused Atalanta to nod.

" Not a bad strategy." She said.

" Since Ms. Anaak sat on the chair before five minutes elapsed... this rounds winner is the team of Anaak, Shibisu. And Hatz. " the test administrator announced.

The guy in sweatshirt began arguing with the test administrator about the unfairness of the first round.

Soon, the second round began.

" Have you realized it yet?" I looked at Atalanta, who raised an eyebrow.

" There is no mana here." I answered, causing her sigh.

" Yes. I noticed that when I was first summoned."

" They use a different power system here called Shinsu. It's like water with magical abilities." I explained.

" And when we reach higher floors that shinsu will continue to rise and if our bodies aren't strong enough, we'll be crushed by the pressure." I explained as I let her absorb the information as I continued to watch the show.

" That's a shinsu user." I told Atalanta as we both watched the sleepy man use his shinsu to shoot at the Lizard.

" Ignition." The lizard chanted as her weapon changed. She began attacking the team, which made them stop.

She soon turned her attention towards Bam's team as she easily broke into their room. Soon, the ranker had to step in.

Soon, a blockbuster event was created, a game for not only a free ride to the next floor but also green April and Black March.

" Master? Do you wish to participate?" She asked.

" No, I think it's best for them to tire themselves out." I replied.

The white-haired man, who I remembered as Khun, started to taunt the other teams. Dodgintheir attacks while hlokg a briefcase he sucked a black slime thing into his briefcase.

The battle continued. And Bams team continued to wipe the other out quickly. I spotted a small squirrel like running towards the crown. Before Khun reveals one, I'm his bag.

" That bag can duplicate." I said.

" He's smart." Atalanta said as we both watched Bams team win. The next test began, and other teams began to turn on each other.

It didn't take long for the match to end. And bams team coming on top.

" Well, done waiting? Ready to hunt?" I smiled as I looked at the small smile on Atalanta's face.

" Yes, after you master."

Beep! I pressed the button and the cage opened as we both walked out.

< Let's lower the playing field a little, it'll best to have lower opponents.>

< Understood.>
