But now, a single mechanical beast effortlessly defeated them?
"Sir, let’s go back and discuss it."
Jane Silk finally had a little strength left at this moment.
They returned to the Fox Guard Officer’s residence, where the officer was bandaged while listening to Jane Silk’s explanation.
After hearing the story, she fell silent for a long time.
Keep in mind that once Lock Demon is set up, even the guards could not open the prison door.
In the past, prison escapes were very rare.
It was unexpected that the seemingly undying guards had such vulnerabilities.
"Anyway... Thank you."
Although it was uncomfortable for her to thank a prisoner, the other party had saved her life.
"It’s just a mutual benefit."
Ree Shil shrugged his shoulders.
"So, umm... ahem!"
Pressing her chest, the Fox Guard Officer coughed heavily twice before asking, "Is there anything our guard team can help with?"
Ree Shil: "Of course."
Foxhead: "Oh? Please tell!"
Ree Shil: "Move aside."
Foxhead: "..."
...
In the battle observation box.
"Insanity! It’s absolutely insane!"
"He eliminated more than a dozen contestants at once!"
Secretary Brown squeezed his thigh with excitement on his face.
He opened the leaderboard, and now the number of people online is less than 80.
If Coach Shil tried a little harder, he might be able to advance to the top 32.
You should know, not to mention a city representative selection tournament, their Card Club has not performed well in medium to large size matches for a long time, including the Nova Championships.
If Coach Shil is able to stand out among thousands and enter the top 32, the popularity of their club would surely rise.
"This Coach Shil is really interesting."
At this time, the Show Director’s mouth was also curving upwards.
Unexpectedly, after discovering the existence of an insider, he chose to join forces with them in this way.
Speaking of the water sprinkler truck, it looks quite handsome.
...
One day later, at the end of District 11 corridor.
The huge double doors to District 10 were closed tightly, with a team of guards stationed in front of the doors.
[Did you guys feel it?]
[Today’s prisoners seem to be much fewer than yesterday]
One of the Cat-faced People yawned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
[Did you hear that, there was a rebellion at the Foxhead’s place]
A well-informed Gnoll started the topic.
This claim sparked confusion among the others.
[I heard that some forces outside are plotting to break the Ancient Palace]
[Since yesterday, prisoners have been brazenly prowling around everywhere]
[But why would you say that there was a riot at the Foxhead?]
A Cat-faced Person asked.
[You don’t know the inside story!]
[I heard that more than 20 prisoners appeared on the Stone Bridge at once!]
The Gnoll waved his hand, gesturing.
More than 20?!
When this was said, the others’ faces changed.
They are well aware of the power of the prisoners.
These guys have superpowers from birth, unlike the guards who acquire special abilities through cultivation and sacrifice!
Such superpowered individuals are not ordinary people who can compete with them. Even they, who have undergone several years of devilish training and equipped with excellent armor and specially crafted weapons, need a full team of 6 to confront a single superpowered person.
That’s more than 20 appearing at once! What a terrifying concept!
[So, did the Foxhead manage to catch them?]
Another Cat-faced Person asked.
[No, but I heard that those prisoners were very cunning, and they ambushed her, causing her serious injuries]
[She’s still lying in bed reading novels now!]
The Gnoll raised his voice.
[Hiss!] xN
The others gasped.
The Guardian Officers are supreme beings in their eyes, even more powerful than the undying prisoners.
Such a person was seriously injured?
[Lying in bed reading novels?]
Only one person who was more familiar with the Fox Guard Officer couldn’t help but mutter: [It doesn’t sound too serious, isn’t that her daily routine anyway?]
[Did District D1 and the following areas get overrun?]
Someone asked again.
District D1 is the area where the Stone Bridge is located, and it is connected to District D2 to District D10.
Due to the terrain, only one guard officer was assigned to that area: the Foxhead.
[No, because at that time, a mechanical beast suddenly appeared!]
[Speaking of the power of that mechanical beast, it’s just... huh?]
[Did you hear something strange?]
Just as the Gnoll was becoming animated, he suddenly twitched his ears.
As he said so, everyone listened intently.
Indeed, they heard a faint and soothing sound, getting closer.
It seemed to be coming from behind the door... freewebnσvel.cøm
Bang!
Before they could think much, they saw the door being violently pushed open by something.
And they, who were standing in front of the door, were knocked out and flew more than ten meters away.
Clang clang!
Even with armor protection, they were all battered and bruised.
[Mech! Mech! It’s a mechanical beast!]
The first one to react was a gnoll who struggled to get up.
Seeing the gigantic creature occupying almost the entire corridor, his expression was terrified.
[It’s a prisoner!]
As the others got up, their faces tightened.
They all saw the conspicuous number 99 inside the mechanical beast.
[Huh?]
But the next second, they noticed the familiar number, 7.
Jane Silk, with a status just below the Guardian Officer.
She’s the only deputy officer in their Ancient Palace, and it’s said that given time, she would become a Guardian Officer!
"..."
With a cold expression, Jane Silk sat in the co-pilot seat, looking down at them from above.
She wordlessly reached her hand out of the window and made a gesture: Move aside!
[! x6]
The guards all looked solemn and, although they didn’t understand, they moved along the wall to give way.
As the water sprinkler truck passed by, Jane Silk finally let out her anger: "Huh!!!"
Dry heaving, that was all she could do now.
Because all the things she could have vomited were gone.
"This Ancient Palace is really a good place; it’s just wide enough for a car."
While Ree Shil was just enjoying the ride.
The corridors of the Ancient Palace were slightly narrower than the stone bridge, which was even better.
That way, he could use the vehicle and the walls for convenience when he was eliminating contestants.
When meeting or being chased in the corridors, they couldn’t even dodge.
He casually opened the leaderboard and found himself in exactly 50th place.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
[Dingdong!]
[I’m innocent, OUT!]
[I’m innocent, OUT!]
Hmm, rank 49 now.
Ree Shil: "There are less than two days left. It’s not looking good."
Jane Silk: "Really? I feel like you’re wearing an enjoyable smile on your face."
Ree Shil: "Hold on, I’m going to speed up."
Jane Silk: "Eh?! You weren’t going full speed before?!"
...
District 11.
[Catch him! Catch him!]
[He’s going in that direction! Block him!]
Two teams of guardians were shouting to catch a prisoner.
Whoosh!
But that agile and swift figure drew a fleeting trajectory, slipping through the human wall.
[Damn it! He got away!]
[We can’t catch up at all!]
[That weird iron horse he’s riding on goes so fast!]
Listening to the fading shouts, Daniel Smith felt smug as he pedaled the bicycle.
"If I’d known, I would have used this equipment card earlier."
His superpower is [Fast Pedaling Legs].
[Fast Pedaling Legs]: Increase leg speed, the next day legs ache too much to walk
He didn’t take out the [Bicycle] card earlier because he was afraid of pain and didn’t want to hurt his legs.
From single [Lock Demon] to triple [Lock Demon], a total of six locks, it had taken him a lot of time.
It wasn’t until around midnight today that he finally got free.
Fortunately, his current ranking has already entered the top 20.
If he can maintain this, there’s a high chance of advancing to the next round.
However, at this moment, he heard a familiar tune.
[Beep beep beep beep beep beep♪~ beep beep beep beep♫~]
"Huh? ’Orchid Grass’?"
Confused, Daniel Smith paused for a moment.
The next second, two big lights lit up in the dim corridor.
It was as if a giant beast had opened its eyes.
"What’s going on?"
With dazzling lights, he instinctively raised his hand to shield his face.
Then, through the gaps in his fingers, he saw a... water sprinkler truck.
Even though the corridor was wide, at this moment it was almost completely occupied by that truck.
The cramped space gave Daniel Smith a slightly suffocating sense of oppression.
This oppressive feeling and the melodious tune appeared at the same time, creating a striking contrast.
At this moment, he heard a familiar voice coming from the truck’s loudspeaker.
"Old buddy, time to deliver some warmth."
"No! This isn’t fair!"
Bang!
...
...
