Ark Undead

Meanwhile, in distant Victoria...

After more than a year of renovation, the Lower District has finally been restored to its original appearance.

However, the power dynamics here have also shifted. The Glasgow Gang, honed by the disaster, has risen rapidly, occupying nearly half of the Lower City and establishing good relations with the merchants in the Upper City.

Despite its growing popularity, the Glasgow Gang remains committed to its principles as an elite group, maintaining its original membership size with only a few new members joining.

Meanwhile, on what should have been Glasgow's day to guard the field, the two leading players were sitting together in front of the television, watching a match.

After seeing that stunning spear thrust, Hannah couldn't help but slap her thigh.

"Wow, so cool! Absolutely amazing! No wonder he's called Mr. Wandering Soul!"

The white cat's hair swayed on its head, showing its joyful mood.

The two women saw the name in advertisements for various major tournaments, and out of curiosity, they watched the matches on time.

"Yes, it really is him."

Vina nodded, finally confirming that it was indeed an immortal.

Hannah still vividly remembers the feeling of that lightning spear flying past her ear on the day of the infected riot in Victoria. This spear, like that lightning spear, is filled with Mr. Ghost's violent aesthetics.

"But why would Mr. Wandering Soul go to Kazimierz?"

Hannah raised her own question.

"Didn't he say he had a heart condition and that Victoria couldn't help him?"

Vina shook her head.

"I don't know."

"Um..."

Hannah thought for a while, then clapped her hands and said with a sudden realization.

"I know! He didn't have enough money to buy good firewood! That's why he went to participate in the knightly tournament!"

A question mark seemed to appear above Vina's head. She looked at Hannah with a puzzled expression, but the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.

Vina remained silent; she had to agree with Hannah's point of view.

After all, this sounds like something Mr. Ghost would do.

49. Speed ​​Race! Hunter Undead! Eight Thousand

"Alright! We've finally arrived at the exciting second match! The moment to showcase the knights' agility and skill! The second match of the Casimir Major Round of 32 to Round of 16! The sprint race!"

As Mob the Big Mouth delivered his speech, the entire venue rose from the ground, and countless models of various shapes emerged from the opened windows. With the control of the large elevator system below, they slowly descended to the ground, took shape, and settled down.

The entire site is divided into two parts, opening up from the middle. To the north is a woodland occupied by forests and high slopes, while to the south is a miniature town consisting of several buildings.

Within this circular area with a radius of nearly one hundred meters, such a circular venue was transformed into a combination of woodland and mountain village in just a few minutes. The technological prowess that Kazimir demonstrated in the Flame Blade Arena was simply astonishing.

"Wow, that's so cool!"

Maria was completely stunned. She had seen places where the structure of a site had been altered, but she had never seen such a large-scale scene.

"This time the scale is indeed different from the past. But after this one, it will only get stranger and more outrageous. In the future, there may even be cases where a whole building is specially built as an arena."

Zofia clearly knew some inside information; she steadied Maria, who was excitedly trying to stand up and get closer to see.

"In short, drones will help us see scenes that we can't see, so we don't have to worry about not being able to see them."

The entire field in front of us will become the venue for the second race of the Kazimir Major over the next hour.

"Welcome everyone to Kazimierz, nestled in the mountains! This venue was chosen by our viewers through online voting, representing the will of you all!"

Mob the Big Mouth posted a chart on the big screen, which indeed showed that "Kasimir Mountain Wind" was the number one venue, with the number of votes for the second place far exceeding that of the second place venue.

"Now, I, Big Mouth Mob, will introduce the specific rules of this race!"

"First of all, the race is a competition in which thirty-two knights chase a target in this huge arena. It's called a race, not a target-hunting battle, because you can score three points by touching the target with any part of your body!"

On the big screen, a blue sphere of light appeared, with a sword and shield outlined in gold in the center of the sphere.

"During the entire match, three targets will appear randomly at any location on the field at the same time. After the previous target is touched, the next target will immediately appear at least 30 meters away from where the previous target disappeared! The location of appearance is random."

A diagram appeared on the large screen: a humanoid figure touched a blue orb of light, which was immediately projected onto another location, while a +3 symbol appeared on the humanoid figure's head.

"In this game, the Cavaliers need to use their agility and superhuman speed to get ahead of the other Cavaliers and do their best to compete for the glowing orbs that appear throughout the arena! The game will last for one hour, and the points earned will be added to the points accumulated from the previous game!"

"The rules of the competition are similar to the previous archery competition. Knights are allowed to attack each other! Once a player is incapacitated, they will be eliminated! Furthermore, all points earned in this match will be reset to zero!"

Mob the Big Mouth said with a grin, then picked up the list of contestants.

"Now, I have some bad news to share. In the last archery round, four knights were eliminated from our tournament! They unfortunately lost their mobility during the archery competition and were therefore disqualified from participating in the remainder of today's matches. That means only twenty-eight knights remain to compete! And now, four knights have already been eliminated!"

Mob the Big Mouth waved his arms and shouted excitedly.

"Next! Please welcome the knights to enter!"

The four large iron gates in the east, west, south, and north of the arena opened simultaneously, and the Cavaliers walked out through their respective gates, eliciting cheers and shouts from the audience.

"An immortal legend! An immortal legend! You're so powerful! I love you!"

"Aaaaah! Gale Cera! Show your power, my wife is waiting for me to bring back money for our honeymoon!"

"Let's fight! Let's have a free-for-all! I want a free-for-all!"

The cheers from the stands were deafening, as everyone chanted the name of their favorite knight.

Maria and Zofia were also stirred up by the previous game.

The two men waved flags bearing the names of the immortals and stood up to cheer for the immortals.

They didn't know who gave it to them. Anyway, when Maria went to the restroom during the break, someone slipped it to her, and Maria brought it back to Zofia.

Zofia initially refused, but under Maria's strong insistence, she agreed to rock with her once.

As a result, Zofia shook the ground even more vigorously than Maria.

As the knights took their positions, Mob the Big Mouth reached out and slammed his hand heavily onto the red button on the control panel in front of him.

"For honor and profit! Fight fiercely on the field! Knights! For the future of Kazimierz!"

drop!

Dozens of drones simultaneously emitted a deafening roar, engulfing the entire Flameblade Arena and even drowning out the shouts from the stands.

At the same time, three orbs of light appeared out of thin air inside the venue and scattered around.

The knights rushed out of their original positions and charged towards the ball of light in the arena.

The Undead reacted quickly, but he had knights who were even faster than him by his side.

The knight's light armor seemed to have the effect of reducing air resistance, and the speed and jumping bonuses from the propulsion system made him look like he was flying.

The knight, wielding two short swords, used the tree trunk for leverage, leaping left and right repeatedly. After just two or three jumps, he was already more than five meters off the ground, and this distance continued to increase.

The Undead, on the other hand, obediently run into the arena from the ground.

Nevertheless, the Undead was still quite fast, leading the other knights by almost two or three body lengths, and was the first to enter the building.

The location of the orb was announced to all knights in real time. This orb was located in a room on the second floor of the building.

The lightly armored knight, wielding two short swords, leaped from the last tree trunk and floated through the window. Just as the undead crashed into the building's entrance, he had already touched the orb of light, successfully securing his first three points.

"Wow! It seems that Rella's performance in the speed race is indeed extraordinary. Just like the impression he has left on the audience before, in any kind of speed race, Rella's performance will stand out from the crowd. His speed may not give him the power to penetrate the defenses of heavily armored knights, but it allows him to reach the target before others!"

Rella heard Mob's words, and his good mood, which had been bright after obtaining the orb, immediately turned gloomy after hearing Mob's words.

What does it mean to be unable to penetrate the defenses of heavily armored knights?

Those silly big guys will never be able to catch him!

Gale Rella didn't stop. After touching the ball of light, he immediately saw the location of another ball of light on the ubiquitous small screen.

With a leap, he left the window, just as the Undead arrived on the second floor.

He watched as Gale Rella flew out of the window, showing no sign of frustration. Instead, he moved his lips and muttered something to himself.

The Undying knew very well that this match wasn't his place to shine. He needed to find other ways to increase his chances of advancing to the round of 16.

On the journey of the immortals, brute force is always the worst approach. One must use every means at one's own wits to constantly create opportunities for victory, rather than foolishly fighting the enemy using their most effective methods.

This race was clearly designed for knights who were not good at archery and did not have much offensive ability, but were good at movement and speed.

These knights mostly wielded melee weapons and were known for their strength in short-range charges and rapid movements.

Compared to warlocks and heavy crossbowmen, they lack excellent ranged attack capabilities.

Compared to heavily armored knights and medium armored knights, they lacked strong one-on-one combat capabilities.

However, speed and agility are their greatest strengths.

This makeshift arena was chosen by the audience through online voting. It's quite obvious that the audience enjoys seeing lightly armored knights leaving those bulky behemoths behind.

The ones who suffer the most are not the medium-armored knights, but rather the sorcerers, ranged archers, and the cumbersome heavy-armored knights.

After all, this is to balance the difficulty of the competition. Otherwise, what's the point if everyone is wearing heavy armor?

The immortal glanced back at the screen in the room.

There is one orb of light in the mountainous area, while the other two orbs of light have spawned in the town area.

Gale Rella headed towards another orb that had spawned in the town.

However, not every point is scored smoothly. While the lightly armored knights can fully utilize their strengths, they will also encounter resistance from other knights.

"Stop!"

An arrow shot out from an unknown location, flying straight towards Gale Rella's airborne body.

Even though Gale Rella knew she would definitely encounter an ambush, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He held the short knife in his right hand in front of him, then used the short knife in his left hand to hook onto the outer edge of the building, pulling himself forward a little further.

An arrow flew past him, leaving a mark on his armor.

The room in front of her contained the ball of light. Rella was overjoyed and was about to smash open the door and rush in to gain another three points.

But just then, a dark blue light appeared from the side.

Alarm bells rang in Rella's mind, and she jumped back a step to avoid the dark blue light.
