I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"..."

After exchanging a glance with Alice who was hiding nearby, Istina decisively opened the box, grabbed the items inside, and quickly moved away.

As the supply box was opened, a penetrating sound suddenly rang out in the silent third floor, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from afar - another team was also attracted over.

"We've already left. Keep exploring. Remember to move quickly if you find a supply box after opening it."

The team that arrived did not split up. All five members of the first team were there, with two melee and three ranged fighters. After checking the surroundings and not finding Istina and the others, they left. The two people hiding nearby also breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for another two or three minutes and confirming that the other party was not pretending to leave, Istina and Alice came out from their hiding place.

"How is it? What's inside?"

"Avatar bracelet, once only, invincible for thirty seconds after being triggered, unable to attack others during this time. After the bracelet expires, the holder returns to the first health state."

As Istina spoke, she held a bracelet in one hand and an instruction manual in the other and read.

"How to distribute?"

"You should take this, Istina. You're the only melee fighter on our team, so the pressure you'll face will be immense."

"Okay, I'll give it to you later when I have the right equipment."

Without any hesitation, Istina put on the substitute bracelet. Just like Alice said, she would probably face the siege of several opponents. Although she was confident in her fighting skills, it was better to be safe. After all, there was no magic assistance this time and she could only rely on skills.

Ding--

At this time, a familiar sharp sound was heard from another location on the third floor. It seemed that other teams also had some gains.

"Let's go and see if we can find another supply box."

"Ah."

At this time, outside the venue, the host was enthusiastically explaining the situation inside the venue.

"Okay, you can see that the Red Team just got a replacement bracelet. They're very lucky. Now they've started exploring again. The Blue Team also just found supplies, but their luck wasn't so good. They only got ten bows and arrows."

After saying that, the host put the light curtain together again.

"You can see that our players are very cautious. So far, no fights have taken place, but the forced change of venues is not far away. Let's wait and see if there will be a fight next!"

Inside the field, Istina and Alice explored for a while and came to a spiral staircase. On the way, they obtained ten arrows and two medical kits for quick healing, which could restore the number of hits taken. Unfortunately, they failed to find any more equipment. It seemed that they were lucky to get the box at the beginning, so Alice took all the new supplies.

During the exploration, they also heard the sound of supply boxes being opened from other floors. It seems that each team should have gained something, so they will take this into consideration later.

"It's almost time. Let's go back and reunite with the others. We'll go down the spiral staircase in the middle."

Istina said after estimating the time they would take to explore and the time needed to move to the central spiral staircase.

"Well, let's go."

Off the court, as the time for the mandatory change of court arrived, the commentary became lively.

"Okay! We can see that the White Team and the Green Team unfortunately collided while transferring floors!"

At this time, the light screens of the white team and the green team were enlarged a lot and occupied the most central position, while the light screens of the other four teams were separated to the four corners. After all, the other four teams took different routes and there was nothing to see. One team had even moved to another floor in advance.

In the picture, due to the pressure of the deadline, both sides were very anxious. After all, they would be directly judged as the loser if the time was up. In the end, the white team, which occupied the advantage of the upstairs, had a slight advantage. At the cost of losing two people, they successfully eliminated all the members of the green team. However, the arrows in their hands were basically exhausted, and they were now cleaning the battlefield and collecting arrows on the ground.

The eliminated members have been taken out of the mall by the staff and are waiting in the waiting area for the end of the competition.

On the other side, the remaining members of the White Team also failed to hold on. While they were collecting arrows, they were ambushed by the Black Team, which had moved to the second floor in advance. The team was caught off guard by the situation and naturally could not resist as they were already low on health. They were killed along with their teammates, and no one on the Black Team was killed.

Just like that, after the first change, among the yellow team and green team originally on the first floor, the green team was completely wiped out, and the yellow team went to the second floor, while among the black team and white team originally on the second floor, the white team was completely wiped out, and the black team occupied the first floor.

The most lively place at the moment is the second floor of the shopping mall. The three fully staffed teams, the green team, the red team and the blue team, have gathered together. However, none of the teams has acted rashly, so the place still maintains a superficial calm. However, no one knows how long this calm can last.

Just like that, twenty minutes into the game, there are now four teams left on the field!

§ 43 Shrinking Poison Circle (Not)

Inside the mall, Istina was leading her team guarding near the stairs, listening to the sounds of fighting coming from afar.

It seems that an unlucky team ran into it while transferring floors.

After a while, as the sound of fighting in the distance stopped, Istina signaled everyone to gather together.

"Let's go down to the first floor now. After the change of venue, the teams originally on the first and third floors will move to the second floor. It's too dangerous here now, so let's take this opportunity to move directly to the first floor."

"it is good."

So the situation in the field became that there were two teams on the first and second floors respectively. At present, the goals of each team are still relatively unified. They are all choosing to search for supply boxes. After all, they all benefited from the equipment inside.

The rhythm is good, what a treasure chest.

During this period, the teams met each other, but they basically only launched tentative attacks to test the strength of the other side and did not choose to officially start a war.

However, they were comfortable, but the audience outside the stadium was not happy. What they wanted to see was a fierce elimination match, not Voldemort's treasure chest!

So with five minutes left before the second change of court, a temporary rule was added.

"Ahem, one more rule. After the next forced change of venues, Deathmatch mode will begin. Every three minutes, everyone's location will be announced in turn. All remaining teams are prohibited from leaving the second floor. Over."

As the hostess finished her announcement, Istina began to think quickly.

It seems that there has been no fighting just now, otherwise there would not be such a rule added. But for now, let's go to the second floor to find a suitable place for defense. Then it will be time for a hard power confrontation. I hope the other party has not got any strange props.

After all, her current level of skill with the rapier can only be considered as a beginner, relying entirely on her reaction speed. It is unknown whether she can fight against many enemies alone.

"Let's go. Be careful and watch out for sneak attacks from other teams."

This time they chose to take the inclined stairs on the right, but when they were halfway there, several arrows flew straight towards Istina.

"Quick, back off, go to the middle."

With a sword, they swept away the incoming arrows, and under the leadership of Istina, everyone ran quickly towards the nearest spiral staircase.

There are too many archers in their team, and three of them have little combat experience. Once they are suppressed from above, they will probably be directly defeated even if there are no casualties. At that time, she and Alice will be unable to hold on alone. It is better to gamble that no one is guarding other passages.

The sound of a group of people running on the first floor was very eye-catching, but since it was almost time for the scene change, there was no need to worry about the risk of being ambushed by someone.

off the field.

"Alright! The Red Team was just ambushed by the Yellow Team at the stairs. What will they do? Ah! The Red Team simply chose to retreat. There are still three minutes left before the changeover. Can they make it in time?"

After saying that, the host moved the screen of Istina's team aside.

"The other two teams have already found suitable positions on the second floor. I didn't expect that only the Yellow Team chose to stay at the stairs. The Red Team is really unlucky. Okay, let's count down for them. Can they make it to the second floor in time?"

Inside the venue.

"30, 29, 28..."

Listening to the countdown, Istina and Alice were dragging the other three people to run on the first floor, and they finally succeeded in entering the second floor before the final countdown.

“Huh, huh, huh.”

After entering the second floor and finding a secluded place, Laurel and the other two sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

"I, Istina, Alice, you are so strong."

Just now, the three of them were almost dragged all the way here by the other two, and their feet could hardly touch the ground.

"Uh, haha, I just exercise more often."

After hearing the three people's complaints, Istina's expression became a little subtle. Needless to say, she remembered what happened when her power just skyrocketed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's decide whether to attack or defend next."

Clapping her hands, Istina motioned everyone to look at her.

"Considering the organizer's restrictions, I suspect they will likely adopt other methods or new rules to force us to fight other teams, so I recommend attacking."

"I agree. Then the first opponent should be the team on the other side of the stairs. What do you think? There's not much cover on the other side of the stairs, so the opponent's advantage as a defender is limited."

Alice said after listening to Istina's analysis.

"I agree! Blocking the stairs is unsportsmanlike!"

Jimati beside her also echoed.

In this way, Istina and the others' first target was decided - the yellow team at the right staircase.

After a short break, the commentator's announcement began to sound in the mall.

"There are currently four teams remaining. The Red Team is in front of the spiral staircase on the right, the Yellow Team is in front of the diagonal stairs on the right, the Blue Team is in the clothing area on the left, and the Black Team is in the food area on the left. Over."

"Let's go, let's go."

After listening to the report and confirming the positions of the other three teams on the map to ensure there were no worries, Istina stood up. At this time, Laurel and the other two also recovered and were eager to try with their bows and arrows.

"Then the task of suppressing the enemy archers will be left to you. Remember to pay attention to your backs and avoid being ambushed by the other two teams. Okay, let's go."

off the field.

"Okay! Now that all four teams have gathered on the second floor and know each other's positions, what will they do?"

Four large light screens were neatly arranged in the air, broadcasting the situation inside the field in real time.

"Ah, the Red Team chose to take the initiative, and their goal is..."

Without further ado, the host gave the answer directly.

"Yellow Team! Looks like they're going to avenge the sneak attack. However, Blue Team and Black Team have chosen to stay put. So, let's switch the focus to Red Team and Yellow Team!"

As he spoke, the other two light screens were swept to a corner, leaving only the huge light screens of the red and yellow teams.

"Hmm...Tina's command, I still miss it."

Eve looked at Istina directing everyone off the court with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

"Master, has Tina ever been a conductor before?"

"Yes, she was the one who initially coordinated the Brave Squad. Since she couldn't handle direct combat, she always tried to help me in other ways. Only after I had grown up did she take over the command."

"Is this so..."

After listening to Eve's answer, Arcana had a thoughtful expression. It seemed that Istina was a really strong opponent. Fortunately, they were not on the same track. After all, she was a weapon elf, hey~

§ 44 Decisive Battle

Inside the arena, Istina's battle against the Yellow Team was drawing to a close. The battle was going very smoothly. They hadn't even lost any men, as the opposing team had no melee fighters at all.

That's right, all five people in the yellow team fought with bows and arrows, and their level was just basic, not much different from Laurel and the others, so they were quickly defeated. Although Istina was hit several times, she could recover after waiting for a while. As for the used arrows, they had also been recovered. The arrows in their hands were even more abundant than before the war.

There were several reports during the battle, but neither the black team nor the blue team had any intention of leaving and still chose to stay where they were.

At this time, Laurel and the other three were happily surrounding Istina.

"Wow, Istina, you're so strong!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be able to catch the arrows that were shot at you."

Alice also looked a little surprised.

"Ms. Istina, are you really just a traveler? I have a feeling that your strength is far greater than this."

"Um, well, we're on a trip now, so let's all just be more restrained."

After a few casual words, Istina skipped the topic.

"Let's move on and rest for a while. If my guess is correct, the organizers will probably have new measures soon."

And just as Istina guessed, during the next wave of location notifications, the host added new rules again.

"Hello everyone. Since the Black and Blue teams haven't moved since entering the final round, they've been judged to be playing passively. From now on, these two teams need to decide the winner within ten minutes, otherwise they will be directly judged as losers. The battle location is limited to the left half of the second floor. The Red team is prohibited from entering during this period. But just a secret, you can continue to collect supply boxes in the right half. Don't tell anyone that I said that."

After forcing himself to act cute for a bit, the host continued.

"After the Black Team and the Blue Team decide the winner, there will be a five-minute rest period. Next, the Red Team and the Black Team will need to completely decide the winner on the second floor. The rules of the battle are also about to change!"

After a pause, the host kept the topic in suspense.

"The new rules will be announced during the rest period, so please prepare for battle, Blue Team and Black Team!"

As the announcement ended, Istina also looked at the other people in the team.
