Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Grand Tournament! The final phase! Start!”

When Qin Ruo was teleported to a huge sealed space, the system message notified him that the competition’s phase five had started.

H&G strongest hundred!

Players in the final phase were chosen by the system from millions of players in H&G. Right now they had finally entered the competition’s final phase.

At this moment…

The whole battle process would be shown in the official website openly. H&G or non-H&G players, inside the game or from the official website, all of them could watch the strongest hundred’s battle.

Besides, many medias had treated this competition as the hottest live show right now. They had put on the show and allowed audiences around the world to watch the live competition.

In other words, there would be at least millions audiences watching the competition right now!

The huge audiences around the world and H&G’s worldwide advertisement had made Qin Ruo excited and thrilled. He was ready for war anytime! Such an intense emotion!

The moment had finally come!

“…”

“Look! Big boss!”

“Big boss is inside! Ah? They show big boss at the first scene. Sure is giving him face huh. Looks like those H&G workers are not that bad. Hahaha…”

“Don’t be ridiculous… Other than Fallen Angels, who else shall they give face to?”

“Yeah… Our big boss was the only one who could skip phase four and directly advance into phase five. Such an honor! No one other than our boss can bear it. Am I correct, my comrades?”

“That’s right!”

“Well said!”

Within the Fallen Angels’ League channel, some renowned guys within the League had become the internal narrators. They dispersed the channel’s intense atmosphere and motivated their comrades.

“Hahaha!”

“Too bad we can’t talk to the boss right now or else he would surely be pleased of what we have said!”

“Of course! He surely would have Poochie to greet us.”

“Yeah! Hahaha…”

“For the sake of the competition’s fairness, participants in the competition are not allowed to talk with the people outside… They can’t differentiate their opponents’ identity as well, only we as the audience can see the whole situation clearly…” A member spoke with a low-spirited tone.

Someone continued immediately, “So that the competition can be fair. If they can identify their opponents, the competition would be meaningless. The Demon Faction has fifty-six people, which is twelve people more than us… If they cooperated with each other and killed the Angel Faction, I think none of us can enter the top ten list.”

“Bullshit!”

“Except for the first place, the others are ranked based on their killing points and death counts. For someone like our League Master, he can at least get into the top ten list even if the Demon Faction had cooperated with each other.”

“Oh yeah…”

“Alright, the competition is going to start. Everyone look… Sinistress and Savior have shown up at the flag position…”

Once again, the League channel had resumed its silence.

“…”

After being teleported to a huge palace, Qin Ruo activated his Elemental Perception: Water immediately and scanned his surrounding situation…

A hundred meter radius!

Except for a five meter high pillar connecting the ground and the palace’s ceiling, Qin Ruo detected nothing within the hundred meter radius.

Nothing unusual as well.

Qin Ruo swiftly checked on his own situation.

When he raised up his arm, a red color mist-like gas appeared. It was like a burning flame and a maggot attached to him flipping around his arm. When shrouded by the burning flame, it was hard to look at how the hand looked like, even the Elemental Perception was also shielded on the outside.

The equipment was also the same as in the Purge Tower, the face was strictly covered up. The standardized equipment was surrounded by the red color mist-like burning flame.

Qin Ruo was relieved after knowing the situation clearly.

The system implemented this to prevent participants from utilizing their hand gestures to identify the other players’ identities. With this, Qin Ruo was not afraid that Demon Faction’s participants would cheat during the competition.

Of course! They could still summon their pets to allow the others knew their identity. But this was very risky…

This was because both Angel and Demon Factions’ people were in the palace. If someone had summoned their own pet, it would reveal their identities to the enemies. Based on that, the enemies would then know one’s identity and capabilities.

Additionally, not everyone in the competition could collaborate with each other.

Especially under the rules implemented by the system! Not everyone would cooperate…

For the sake of Demigod equipment, the more one killed, the more killing points one could get. Once one got into the top ten list, one could get the equipment that was even higher Tier than the Legendary equipment.

With the Demigod equipment, the power gap between Demigod Champions could be closed or widened!

Hence, to get into the top ten list, this would be a very fierce battle!

After Qin Ruo set himself down, he swiftly activated dual defenses to protect himself and summoned a map that the system named as the Mystical Sanctuary.

Every participant had this map.

The map showed two map icons.

One of them was a green little arrow, which was always sending the owner’s movement signal. This reflected the owner’s own location and moving direction in the Mystical Sanctuary.

The other map icon was a golden battle flag.

This battle flag symbolized the Grand Tournament’s winner, which was also the Mythical Continent’s strongest player.

The duration for the competition was only two hours.

The player who had this flag until the final moment was the winner.

As for the other participants, they would be ranked based on their killing points, death counts and the total time they held the golden battle flag.

During the competition, any participant who held the golden battle flag would have their map icon merged together with the flag icon and reflected on every participants’ map. This implied that the player would be aimed by the other participants.

Once the player who held the golden battle flag got killed, the flag would be dropped. Any player could take it by then.

In short, not only participants could get points by killing other players in this battle, they could also get themselves into the top ten list by protecting the golden battle flag when they held it.

However, Qin Ruo’s target wasn’t killing or increasing the time he held the golden battle flag.

Since the competition’s third phase, he had gotten himself above millions of H&G players. He realized that he must hold the golden battle flag to himself all the time…

No matter how many people blocked him! No matter what kind of setbacks and attacks he faced! The Winter Demon would become the strongest in the Grand Tournament!

With such resolution, Qin Ruo activated his Angelic Wings…

He then charged toward the golden battle flag, which was at the Mystical Sanctuary’s center.

“…”

“Golden battle flag!”

In Mystical Sanctuary’s other corner, the Savior whose glittering eyes were locked onto the flag thought to himself, “Only three to five people have the capabilities to aim for the flag…”

Needless to say, the so-called three people implied the player who had advanced into phase five by skipping phase four–the Winter Demon, the highest score in Mythical Mirage’s phase four–Sinistress, and the Savior himself.

The other two people were Majestic Hero and Netherclaw from the Angel Faction.

The other participants other than these people were not even considered in the Savior’s mind.

“Points…”

“Time…”

Savior thought deeply for half a minute and finally he closed his map. He then activated his Demonic Wings and flew away from the flag. It was not wise to charge at the flag at the very first moment as it would attract other participants’ attacks and attention.

Additionally, to snatch the golden battle flag from the Winter Demon and Sinistress was not so easy for him.

Savior decided to kill the others and earn enough killing points to become the top ten first. Only then would he compete with the two formidable opponents regarding the golden battle flag. Although the other opponents other than Qin Ruo and Sinistress were not worthy to him, every player in the strongest hundred was not an easy opponent. This included the newcomer Gravity Bandit and some other players.

It would be dangerous to charge at the golden battle flag without any plan. Hence it was better for Savior to be less aggressive.

“…”

Before long, Savior had already marked his first target. It was a Berserker with silver color armor, riding a purple-blue flame warhorse and wielding a huge saber. The Berserker was looking at the incoming Savior calmly.

Savior had never seen any Berserker that was as strong as the one in front of him before. When he saw the Berserker, he silently commended the Berserker, “What a strong Berserker!”

He later realized the warhorse the Berserker was riding, a strong and majestic warhorse with purple-blue flame…

“What a nice horse!”

Savior was from the Demon Faction. It was normal that he did not know how Black Flame Steed looked like. Based on the Berserker’s appearance and the huge saber he wielded, the Savior immediately recognized who this Berserker was.

Angel Faction, Fallen Angels League, Level 52 Steel Berserker, Judge!

In H&G, he was named as the player with the strongest endurance. He was a player who did not use any items to defeat a Tier 6 Megaboss. He did that by solely relying on his equipment and potions.

After Savior recognized his first prey, he squinted a little, “This is the strong guy with high endurance. He activated his warhorse instead of his Divinity Crystal. Looks like this is going to be a long fight…”

Despite the fact that Savior was still thinking, his body had already started to attack!

Tong!

Judge jumped from the Black Flame Steed!

Clank!

Shrouded with Berserk Aura, Judge faced off his first enemy in the Mystical Sanctuary.
