The orb sent warning signals to the Alpha Snake Beast. It was obvious what it was trying to say.
The game must start. No more delays allowed.
Strangely enough, the woman who was just transformed into a snake slave is standing completely still. Her body has evidently undergone tremendous change.
Her frail arms suddenly developed thick muscles. The entirety of her torso was transformed into the body of a strong woman that worked very hard in developing their muscles.
Without waiting for the Alpha Snake Beast to order her around, she actively went into the side of the grid. No longer participating, she perfectly became the observer. And also the monster that will forever be trapped inside the game.
Before they knew it, the next round commence, currently they have reached the 50th square. Everyone was basically on edge, not one of them wanted to trigger the punishment. They also don't want the battle mode of the sqaures.
Basically, it is too difficult for them. Each of the players were about to have mental breakdown. Witnessing brutal scene after another, it was too much.
At last, the turn is already for Cayden. The question was asked, and he was given the number 5. He walked towards the 52nd square. His pace is not too fast nor slow. He squeezed the edge of his shirt tightly.
On the 52nd square, there are only three people aside from Cayden. And they are both women. Even though these women look older and frail than the current seventeen year old Cayden, he has no intention of underestimating them.
The light for the reward square lit up.
It was an eyeball.
To be more precise, it was a big purple snake eyes with slanted pupil at the center.
[Three walk in, but only one can get out alive.]
The two women were horrified, Cayden frowned at the prompt.
[Congratulations, you have triggered the reward square, Three walk in, but only one can get out alive.]
[The reward is the crystal eye of the Alpha Snake Beast. The benefit of the crystal eye is to see the light in the dark. The oasis of the desert. The melody among the noise.]
[In one second, the crystal eye will show you the exit of this monopoly game.]
Reading this, the two women were stunned. They could not believe their eyes, even the others present in the game were shocked. Their hearts were bitter and no one wanted to be in the square more than they did.
However, the name of the instance, Three walk in, but only one can get out alive bothered them. Since the beginning, the game has never been poetic. Each word has literal meaning.
So take that into consideration, this reward square will just be the same with what happened to the egg reward. Everybody dies.
The two women exchange wary glances at each other. Their vigilance was pointed against Cayden. Currently, Cayden is still healing from his wound and injuries.
If they think about it, don't the two of them stand more chance? If they defeat the boy and get the crystal eye, they will get the reward and see the exit of this game. They can get out of this hellish games!
Probably go back to their normal life after a good night sleep.
Cayden tried to move his leg and twisted arm. It doesn't hurt but it was very difficult to move. He scrutinized the two women.
The woman with curly hair appears to be older. She had wrinkles at the side of her eyes, indicating her age. But she was still slim and had a good figure. It was obvious she worked hard to maintain her body.
The other one is a lady that seemed to be a college student. Her long hair was tied into a bun and she was glaring at Cayden openly. She held in her hand a weapon she received from one of the reward squares.
It was a sword.
Cayden has a dagger he used to kill the Human Slave Snake Head and the shield he just received.
"Sorry boy," The college lady said. Her eyes has traces of fear on it but she chose to stand firm.
"Me and my mother just want to survive." Her voice was too low to be heard by the nearby audience. But Cayden was able to catch it.
For a second, he showed a trace of surprise in his expressionless face. His momentary dazed reaction was taken advantage of by the college lady. She easily leaped forward, the sword in her hand.
Cayden take a step back and receive her attack on full force. The college lady seemed to have some ground in her attacks. She continued to wield the sword as if the weight of it fit right between her palms.
Has she practiced fencing?
But, even if she was familiar with how she wield her sword, Cayden can still see a lot of openings in her attacks. She goes on head on but she completely left out her defenses.
Cayden lifted his broken leg and bend down his whole body to avoid the crosswise swing of the sword. He then sidestepped to the side to get away from being sliced by the sword above his head.
The college lady has strong foundation of her swordmanship.
But…
It wasn't enough.
Cayden's thoughts immediately blanked out. This always happened when he was holding a weapon. He will automatically make his thoughts blank. Devoid of any thoughts. He also doesn't think when he fight.
Cayden clash the dagger against the woman's sword and swung the direction of both their blades in an arc towards her legs. The college lady was surprised by Keith's strength. She was taken aback and could not react in time. As a result, both swords run a deep clear three inch cut into her legs.
She screamed out in pain and crouched down. Her sword was dropped at her side as she clutch her bleeding leg.
