"The eting isn't over!" Orion called out.
The 12 gods overseeing the ga and different lands and kingdoms were all gathered together at a huge round white table, floating in the air. They had a set ti to co together once in a while like this in order to make decisions about kingdoms under their rules, and the one leading the discussion is Dunstan, the strongest amongst the 12 gods.
"Aren't we going to talk about the ga?" Orion asked in a rough tone, "Or am I the only one who feels like those silly humans are taking too long to die? The ga has been dragging too much lately; it is ti we do sothing about it so that it can co to an end, and then we will finally have a hero to appoint to a kingdom."
"He's right." Thalric added, tapping his finger on the smooth surface of the table. "You know how annoying it gets when the humans start complaining because they have no hero and think that we have forgotten them after their devotion."
The other gods nodded in agreent. Dunstan remains silent as he thinks to himself for a while. Watching Lucian overco his difficulties had made the ga so interesting for him that he wasn't bothered by how long the other humans took to die.
"How about we let the remaining players sink into Hlasked?" Dunstan suggested in a cold tone.
"You an…" Faye gave a short pause. She had a white cloth over her eyes. "If we let Hlasked swallow them, they are going to die; waiting for another group of humans to grow in strength is going to take too much ti after they all die."
"And it also defeats the purpose of ending the ga." Zinna added.
"If they can't survive being swallowed up by Hlasked, then they are better off dead." Dunstan stated coldly. "We can't make a weak player our servant."
The rest of the gods silently accept his words.
"If we are getting rid of unnecessary players." Orion smirks, "Don't you think it's about ti we change the villain? That little boy has been holding on to that title for too long, and his abilities are different from Zyros's abilities; hopefully he's not stronger than Zyros himself," he snickers as he mocks Zyros. "Imagine Zyros being less powerful than a human."
A dark look fills Zyros's eyes, his lip forming a straight line in anger, but he makes no reaction to Orion's words.
"We don't control the title the humans bear." Dunstan's voice was strict. "Besides, the powers the human boy has are entirely by luck. I find it amusing how his abilities bother you; it makes wonder, between you and Zyros, who is lesser than a human."
Orion clenched his fist in anger and glared at Dunstan.
Dunstan created a huge magic circle that was needed to make Hlasked devour the players.
Zinnia discreetly releases a magic of her own to ss with Dunstan's magic circle.
"Thank you for helping ntion that boy to the others." Zinnia said to Orion, The eting was over; everyone had gone their separate ways, except for Zinnia and Orion, who were both having a secret eting of their own.
"I don't know why Dunstan sees sothing special in that kid." Orion spoke out in an irritated tone. He did Zinnia a small favor when he ntioned Lucian in front of the others.
After Zinnia's last action, Dunstan had forbidden her from ntioning Lucian's na and also from being part of anything that had to do with him.
"The boy isn't special; he's no different from other players. Soon he will die like them." Zinnia laughed while watching as the ground in Hlasked opened up and swallowed Lucian and other players.
—------------------------------------------------------
(A few minutes before the ground in Hlasked opened its deadly mouth)
"Try telling us what to do now, villain." Grove sneers. His team captain died in the dungeon. Grove aligned himself with the few people in his team and also those from other teams who had lost so of their teammates and captain.
Grove had planned this very mont when he gets to kill Lucian and had imagined it so many tis when Lucian ordered him around when they were trapped in the dungeon.
Lucian clenched his teeth; he was completely surrounded. When he noticed Soren was about to use his ability, he made facial gestures to him, which stopped Soren. Their opponents were too many.
Flint separated himself from Lucian. "This has nothing to do with ." He mumbled out, annoyed. His teammates followed. Tara threw a pitiful look at Lucian.
"If you guys don't join us in killing him, that ans that you are with him." Lila said in a wicked tone as she moved her sword towards Flint.
Flint easily kicked her blade away. "Be careful with that thing; it's sharp." His teammates glared at Lila, making her cower away from Flint.
Unlike Lucian's team that was 3, Flint's teammates were still many, even though so died in the dungeon. Grove didn't want to ss with Flint; fighting against Flint and Lucian at the sa ti would only make the both of them work together. Realizing that fact, he slapped Lila hard on the face, "You bitch." He was angry and saw himself as the captain of the team he had gathered. Acting without his permission isn't allowed.
Lila hates Lucian for beating her until she passed out in the arena in order to take her place. Her cheek was still swollen from the beating she received, and now with Grove's slap, she felt more pain from her wounds.
Tired of always getting hit and beaten by others, Lila used her wind magic against Grove; it lifted Grove off his feet and hit him hard on the ground.
"I can't get back at Lucian for using as bait if I let you kill him." Flint said. He turned around and punched one of the players wielding a sword against Lucian, making use of the chaos Lila created.
"Let go of !" Reed shouted; he tried to escape Lucian's side, but Luna tripped him off his feet, and Soren grabbed him.
"Captain orders." Soren dragged Reed along as he followed Lucian, who planned on leaving Grove and Flint to fight amongst themselves while he escaped.
Grove and his team left Flint and chased after Lucian, and then suddenly a huge earthquake made them stumble on the ground before the ground divided into two and swallowed them.
