It had been a little over an hour now since the tournament's first phase had started. Astaroth was still exploring the tropical forest.
He guessed that if there was a hidden zone, this place was the most likely entrance to it. Tropical jungles were renowned for their mysteries and confounding terrain.
So he refused to go into another zone. By now, they had already taken the first hundred players down.
A little under four hundred players were left to kill before phase one ended. At this rate, it would take another four hours or more.
It all depended on how safely the players eventually proceeded. If the players left when there were only one hundred left to eliminate, hid, and extended this, hoping to be last, then this could go on for a long time.
Astaroth was kind of hoping that would be the case though since he wanted to find an Easter egg. As he mused about the possible hidden treasures he would find, Astaroth heard a muffled voice from somewhere near.
