Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 317 Three-Way Battle

With the competition over and everyone having gotten to know each other's teams, the mentors gave everyone a day off to rest and were allowed not to attend the competition in person.

Inside the hotel room, Wang Teng leaned against the headboard, leisurely watching the live TV broadcast.

"How about we guess who will be eliminated first in this match?"

Ding Yumin, wearing a light nightgown, placed a plate of cut fruit on the folding table on the bed before crawling into bed.

"I bet Egypt will lose!" Tang Yue leaned against Wang Teng's other side and said lazily.

"Why?" Ding Yumin asked curiously, picking up a toothpick and eating a piece of watermelon.

"Egypt has already lost to us once. If they win the three-way match again, isn't it obvious they'll lose again?"

Will the Greek and British teams allow this to happen?

"It's not easy for a single team to beat Egypt, especially in a long match."

"So, I guess the Greek and British teams will definitely eliminate Egypt first to avoid any surprises."

"Then the two teams will compete for the final ranking!"

Tang Yue gave her a detailed analysis of the current situation, and she felt that the Egyptian team had no chance of qualifying.

"The match has begun!"

The two stopped their discussion and ate fruit while watching the live broadcast on TV.

The battlefield of the three parties is an alternate dimension with a diameter of one kilometer.

The three teams formed a triangle at three different locations, avoiding premature contact.

The Egyptian team was as decisive and efficient as ever. They knew where their greatest strength lay and quickly launched their attack as soon as the game started.

The Greek and British teams simultaneously sprinted towards the Egyptian team.

However, they all seemed to be holding back, and there was no direct assault on the Egyptian team's position like an assassin.

This gave the Egyptian team valuable time to get started!

"A three-way battle is definitely different... You have to consider this and that. The Greek team and the British team are teammates as well as rivals!"

"There's no guarantee they won't be betrayed, so the Egyptian team has a valuable amount of room to maneuver because of their mutual suspicion!"

Wang Teng spoke with a light laugh, putting himself in the shoes of both teams and quickly figuring things out.

Everyone wants to be number one, and everyone is plotting to get number one. It's true that they all wanted to eliminate the Egyptian team.

However, the temptation to eliminate a key member of an opposing team early would be great, and it would be more advantageous in securing first place.

Therefore, it will be difficult for the Greek and British teams to cooperate fully, which will give the Egyptian team an opportunity. If the game drags on, it will be uncertain who will win or lose.

"This looks like they're letting the game slide..." Ding Yumin watched the live stream with a grin, as the Greek and British teams coincidentally faced off against the Egyptian team's undead mummy.

However, the intensity of the battle was not high. Both sides chose to clear out the undead mummies and used low- to mid-level magic.

"Much ado about nothing – many viewers who didn't understand the game are probably very disappointed with this match."

……

"Zhero~ We agreed to eliminate the Egyptian team first, we can't do that now."

As Asha's gaze fell upon the ever-growing number of undead mummies, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. These British were not easily fooled; they hadn't fallen for her trick.

"Then why aren't you doing it? Do you expect me to do all the work myself?"

Zerro calmly activated his domain, occasionally whipping up a tornado to clear out the charging undead.

Faced with these undead mummies, his summoning abilities were rendered useless, and the swarm of evil insects still dared not emerge.

Chaos magic is useless against hordes of undead; only the wind magic can barely keep them alive.

Eileen stood in the middle of the group, occasionally casting a radiant spell. Light magic is particularly effective against undead, and servants can't withstand even basic light magic.

Seeing the way these British guys were throwing the game, Asha's brows furrowed slightly. Weren't they afraid of losing again?

Aren't you afraid she'll just hand it over?

Given their current form, the British team is highly likely to lose again. Whether it's against Egypt or Greece, the British team has almost no hope of victory.

Even at her worst, she could still secure second place for the Greek team.

"Zhero, we've created some distance between ourselves and the Greek team; that woman is trying to target us."

Eileen suddenly sent a telepathic message to Zero, having just sensed a hint of hostility from Asha's Ruya.

This troublesome woman is too powerful. Given that Zhe Luo's strength is currently restricted, it's hard to guarantee that she won't suddenly make a move.

Zhelu had no doubts and had his teammates quickly adjust using the wind elemental field, pulling them more than 100 meters away.

"Tsk~ Troublesome telepathic!" Asha's sharp gaze fell on Eileen, somewhat annoyed. She hadn't expected that Eileen, this mascot, would be using telepathic abilities to keep an eye on her.

The three sides reached a stalemate. The Egyptian team was also very clever and summoned all the scarlet mummies, mostly slave-level and a few warrior-level.

Other special undead spirits only surround you in one or two ways, for protection.

In this way, the intensity of the battle will not be aroused, and the two sides will not suddenly unite wholeheartedly to annihilate them because of their threats.

The longer the time drags on, the better it is for them, and they are happy to do so.

After all, a mage's magical power is not inexhaustible, but their undead can be endless.

Even if those two sides don't make a move, they will still make a move.

Time ticked by, and the number of undead on the field grew. Even with the efforts of the British and Greek teams to clear the field, the number of undead had already exceeded ten thousand.

Both the British and Greek teams opted to retreat, with team members taking turns clearing the undead in order to conserve mana.

However, this does not change the fact that the situation is turning in an unpredictable direction.

"Captain, should we launch a high-level undead attack?" Shreve asked, his voice slightly excited.

"Wait a little longer—there aren't enough undead yet!" Sind resisted the temptation and refused his teammate's suggestion.

There are too many variables in this match. Their side is not absolutely strong. The Greek captain is too powerful. They need to wear down the opponent's magic energy.

Time is on their side...

"Still not making a move...you're really patient!" Zheluo led his team in a retreating battle, but the arena was only one kilometer in diameter.

The Scarlet Mummy has already taken over half the arena; if they wait any longer, they won't even have a chance to turn the tide.

"What is this woman up to?"

Eileen looked troubled. She was also unsure what Asha's thoughts were. Was she just going to watch Egypt win again?

Does the Greek team have no intention of winning?

As the undead horde surged forward again, the group was forced to retreat once more, but they were about to be surrounded by an ever-growing number of scarlet mummies.

The rate of cleanup can no longer keep up with the rate at which the undead are born.

"Does Azharia really have the confidence to face the Egyptian team alone?"

"Or perhaps she wants to use the Egyptian team to eliminate us?"

Eileen thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible. The silent tug-of-war between the two sides had given the Egyptian team time to create the undead tide.
