The Guild Tournament officially began.
Because it was a team competition, the two sides needed to cooperate to a certain extent.
But for this group from Future Guild, cooperation was difficult.
Compared to the opposing guild, they had no trust in each other whatsoever.
This mutual distrust led them to fight separately.
The opponents were very happy to see this situation.
Relying on their cooperation and the combat experience, abilities, and items accumulated from their longer time traveling the Wasteland, they quickly gained the upper hand.
Soon, Future Guild suffered casualties.
But, they were just casualties.
The moment the opponents charged at her.
The powerful sound of machinery rang through the air!
Thick smoke erupted along with a shockwave.
When the smoke cleared.
The people in the audience stared at the mechanical giant beast before them, one that nearly touched the arena's protective barrier, and erupted into thunderous cheers.
The Host, standing on a flying bird, excitedly narrated:
"Oh my god! Anjie from Future Guild! She can actually unleash such a powerful giant beast! But as we all know! In the Wasteland! Big doesn't mean strong! Ladies and gentlemen, look at the big screen! Let us reveal the level of this beast!!"
Information about Allen appeared on the floating Light Screen.
All of this had been recorded by the people from the Nation on Ships before the Guild Tournament began.
[Disaster-Avoiding Behemoth·Allen]
[Level: 8]
[Current Size: 10%]
"Oh my god! This beast has only unleashed ten percent of its body! And this is unquestionably a high-level mechanical giant beast!! It's hard to imagine that the owner of this beast is a newcomer who just became a Train Conductor not long ago!"
The audience continued to cheer.
Inside the arena.
The members of the opposing guild stared dumbfounded at this beast, their eyes filled with despair and disbelief.
An 8-level mechanical giant beast.
Their opponent was a newcomer?
Are you kidding me!?
They had entered the Wasteland three years earlier, and still hadn't obtained a single 8-level item!
A newcomer? Why did a newcomer get to have something like this?!
"Dammit! A top-tier Train Conductor must have gifted it to her! I don't accept this! That brat's future upgrade options will definitely be terrible!"
"That's right! It's just the Novice Station World Trial! So what if she has a high-level partner? Fuck, we'll definitely be stronger in the future!"
They encouraged themselves like this.
But no matter what the future held.
Right now, when Allen's massive steel body raised its iron foot, the size of a small hill, and stomped down toward the enemy.
"ROAR—"
The roar of metal mixed with the sound of compressed air echoed continuously.
Just as the members of the opposing guild were in despair.
A small, insignificant figure, just there to fill the numbers, opened their eyes.
Invisible strings pierced through their soul.
They seemed to become a character in a game, their body being controlled by someone else.
Menrojina smiled as she plucked at the [Strings].
"An 8-level mechanical giant beast, huh. Since the Guild Tournament allows this kind of thing, there's no need to waste time~"
An item appeared in the bespectacled woman's hand.
It was a ritual dagger embedded with three different-colored jewels.
She raised the dagger above her head.
The three jewels emitted a dazzling, blinding light.
The next instant, the jewels detached from the dagger, transforming into three different magical beasts in the air.
A winged white pegasus, a jade-shelled dark green turtle-snake, and a black wild boar engulfed in flames.
The dark green turtle-snake charged toward the bottom of Allen's foot.
The other pegasus and wild boar targeted the demon man, Daxim.
Chaotic ritual power surged from the three level-8 magical beasts.
Along with the bespectacled woman, who let out a somewhat deranged laugh.
"Kill! Kill him!"
The woman's companions stared in shock at her current appearance and the powerful magical beasts.
They never expected that the random nobody they found from the guild to fill numbers would possess such formidable power.
The Guild President sitting in the guild's rest area immediately broke into a joyful expression.
"Don't just stand there! Let's go together!"
With a chance to win, no one was willing to lose.
The combat power provided by the three level-8 jewel magical beasts directly reversed the situation.
Now, the ones with grim expressions were Shangguan Yingxue and Zhao An.
Oh, and of course, Daxim as well.
The opposing guild's contestants seemed to believe that the bespectacled woman's goal was to quickly reduce their numbers, so they also threw more of their attacks at Daxim.
If its demon man body weren't so tough, it would have died there already.
Yes.
This Guild Tournament had never had any rule forbidding killing.
Shangguan Yingxue began to have thoughts of retreat.
But just as she was using items to barely withstand the shockwaves from the battle between Allen and the jewel magical beasts, considering whether to find a way to escape the arena.
Don Quixote mounted his Warhorse.
He put on his helmet and waved at Sancho Panza in the guild rest area.
"Although we face not monsters, but other noble knights, since I have joined this noble duel, there is absolutely no room for retreat! Do not fear! For the great Giant Knight Don Quixote is here!"
He raised his lance and charged fearlessly toward the enemy Train Conductors, who were three years his senior and higher-level.
"Mhm, this old man is absolutely right~ Sister Shangguan Yingxue, don't be afraid. Rest assured, Death is on your side."
Mo Shi pulled out what looked like a very ordinary pistol.
"Although I am still weak now, I can at least manage to defeat one opponent."
[Talent: Death Shadow]
As a pure Human Train Conductor, Mo Shi could currently only summon one Shadow person through the talent she had chosen and constructed.
But that was enough.
The Shadow person merged into the gun in her hand.
The dense aura of death corroded and enhanced the firearm.
A bullet infused with [Death Qi] was fired by her.
"This kind of weapon is really hard to use. I don't know why Ye Qiyan likes it so much."
Mo Shi muttered to herself, not caring what expressions Shangguan Yingxue and Zhao An behind her had when they heard the name "Ye Qiyan."
The battle in the arena grew increasingly brutal.
The bespectacled woman, controlled by Menrojina, used the wild boar and pegasus to madly attack Daxim, almost torturing him.
Opportunities to gravely wound him or even kill him appeared many times.
But she abandoned every single one. Daxim even noticed that she was secretly healing him.
She was simply tormenting him.
Want to surrender? No, he couldn't make a sound.
Want to leave the arena?
No, his feet were bound by a mysterious force.
He felt rage, a rage that even turned into a voice in his mind.
["Use the Demon Card! Just use that Demon Card! Everyone here! Will die!!!"]
"Dammit... dammit dammit dammit!!!"
In the audience.
Ye Qiyan's hand, holding a handful of popcorn, froze in mid-air.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at that demon man, and slowly curled his lips into a smirk.
Though it was only for the tiniest instant.
But Ye Qiyan had genuinely felt a familiar aura.
It was the aura of the Demon Card~
"I see. No wonder I always felt this guy was interesting~"
