I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Okay, let's split up and search for supplies. As for the final battle, the rules will likely force us to fight. Let's all split up and prepare. We'll reunite later."

But at this time Laurel suddenly made a small suggestion.

"Hmm… how about we do a little pep talk, like putting your hands together and going 'oh—'?"

"Hey, that seems quite interesting. Want to come?"

After hearing her suggestion, Jimati also looked very interested.

"Then, try?"

As she spoke, Istina extended her hand, and the others followed suit.

"""oh--!"""

After doing this, the few of them dispersed and used this time to look for supply boxes.

-ten minutes later-

"Okay, let's congratulate Team Black for their victory!"

The host's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Next, we'll announce the new rules for the final round. After the break, both teams must rush to the designated location on the second floor within five minutes and remain there for five minutes. The match ends when one team is completely eliminated. Then the countdown officially begins!"

off the field.

The organizers have already started betting on the two teams in the duel. Many people have chosen the black team because four of them are adventurers, which is a coincidence. After defeating the blue team, they did not lose any members. Although there is one person on the red team who is obviously much stronger, he should not be able to withstand the siege.

Therefore, many people put down a little money just for fun, after all, they can make money if they wait for a while.

To this Eve can only say, 2002, World Cup, Argentina, Saudi Arabia.jpg, I hope no one shoots too much, otherwise the wind on the rooftop is very strong.

No matter how poor Istina's close combat skills were, she was still outnumbered. However, her physical fitness was also there. It was just that she still had some poor control, otherwise the sword swinging of these ordinary people would be no different from slow motion to her.

On the other side, the halftime break was almost over, and both teams gathered together, waiting for the positions to be announced. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last battle of the game.

"Alright! The break is over. Are you all ready? Even if you're not, you still have to get going! So, the first meeting place is..."

The host deliberately prolonged the voice and teased everyone for a while before announcing it.

"Second floor! Children's entertainment area!"

The children's entertainment area is located in the middle of the second floor. Since there are many toys for children to play with, there are many shelters. Although the size is a little small, it is just right for the competition. After all, it eliminates the possibility of finding a place to hide in the area.

And from the organizer's point of view, the distance between the two sides is almost the same, so there will be no situation where one side has to sit back and wait for the opportunity.

"Okay, let's go, and try to get there before the other party. If you can't keep up, Alice and I can help you."

As she spoke, Istina looked at Laurel and the other two.

"No, no, we will definitely catch up."

Recalling the situation where they were almost dragged to the ground, Laurel and the others' expressions suddenly became stiff.

"If you can't keep up, remember to tell me."

After saying that, Istina led everyone towards the children's entertainment area, and as they got closer, Istina's nerves became more and more tense.

bang, bang, bang

As soon as they entered the designated area, several arrows flew towards them, forcing them to immediately seek cover. In the corner of their eyes, they saw a black shadow flash by on the castle in the middle.

It seems that although the opponent was one step faster than them, it was only very limited, otherwise he would not have been able to leave after one strike like this, so the purpose of that person just now was to buy time for others.

Thinking of this, Istina immediately looked at the others and gave orders.

"Alice, we'll be in groups of two. Laurel, the three of you shouldn't separate. Pay attention to the enemy archers. It's enough to suppress them."

"Okay, okay! Leave it to us!"

"Alright! Then let's decide the outcome in one battle!"

As they spoke, Istina and Alice entered the area and began to look for the enemy, while the other three were also vigilantly holding bows and arrows and guarding everywhere, especially the commanding heights.

Although they lacked formal combat experience and therefore could not fight for the commanding heights, they had no problem making some interference. Now with the cooperation of the three of them, they looked quite capable.

And so the final battle began.

------

The rest of the day I was coding and coding. I am so tired now after a whole day.

§ 45 Winner

The blue team is composed of three melee fighters and two ranged fighters. Except for one ranged fighter, all of them are adventurers with certain combat experience. At this time, the situation on Istina's side is four to two.

Laurel and the others were being held firmly in check by the last adventurer on the opposing side. The opponent followed the strategy of retreating after one strike, steadily consuming their energy, arrow stocks, and the number of hits they received. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the three of them were defeated.

The two people on the opposite side of Istina decisively switched to a defensive stance after discovering that her strength was obviously stronger than their combined strength. They kept retreating and chose not to fight with Istina, preparing to wait for their teammates to deal with the others before attacking together.

After all, Istina's rapier attack speed was too fast, and they were completely unable to react. They could only rely on the five-second protection period and the blood recovery items in their hands to hold on.

The situation was relatively balanced until Alice eliminated the opponent's archer...

"middle!"

As Alice accurately hit the opponent's archer with an arrow for the tenth time, the opponent's headband began to glow, announcing her elimination, but then Alice's headband also began to glow - she was also eliminated.

"Eh?!"

At this moment, the host's voice sounded at the right time.

"Ding-ding! The blue team member activates his equipment's 'Shared Fate' effect, and both teams are eliminated together."

"Hey! How could that be!"

Not only Alice herself was surprised, but Laurel and the others beside her were also affected and were hit several times in a row by the opponent's archers.

On the other hand, the blue team was not surprised at all because they had known the effect of the equipment for a long time. Instead, they took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The melee fighters who were originally fighting with Alice also joined the battle, but were firmly blocked by Istina.

They are probably regretting that they used the wrong person in "same fate". After all, Istina is much more difficult to deal with than Alice.

"Don't worry, Alice, we will definitely win!"

Istina shouted to Alice while thrusting out with her sword to force the opponent to retreat.

And Alice became one of the first people to be eliminated in the finals.

After she sat in the elimination area for a while, Laurel and the others were taken down somewhat embarrassedly.

"Is that so? You guys lost too."

Although she might miss out on the lifetime free meal, Alice was very calm and had no regrets.

"Hehehe, we're no match for them at all. But don't worry, we did create an opportunity for Istina in the end."

As they spoke, the three of them started talking about what had just happened.

"Uh-huh…"

Alice concluded after listening to the three of them talk for a while.

"So, in the end, you gave up on defense and launched a self-destruct attack towards Istina's battle circle?"

After saying this, Alice revealed an extremely confused expression.

"Yeah, yeah, because ranged attacks don't have the same interval restrictions as melee attacks, so we just ended up just randomly throwing them over there together."

"Istina is really strong. She can even use the arrows we shoot to attack the enemy."

At this time, Laurel was still savoring the superb skills that Istina had just demonstrated.

"But won't Istina be besieged by four people next?"

"..."

When the three heard the key question asked by Alice, their expressions froze for a moment, but then they felt relieved.

"It's okay, I believe Istina can do it!"

"Well, that's right!"

"Ah...you guys..."

Seeing the three of them looking so cheerful, Alice could only sigh helplessly.

Just as she was about to say something else, the store staff entered the elimination area.

"The competition is over and the prizes will be awarded soon. Please follow me."

Having said that, he waited silently at the door, and no matter how Laurel and the other two asked, he refused to reveal the result of the game.

"Let's go and see the results."

Looking at the three of them, Alice smiled helplessly and followed the staff.

"Ah, wait for us!"

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

Outside the venue, the atmosphere in the audience was a bit subtle at this time, because the authorities were extremely cunning and briefly cut off the live broadcast at the end to create suspense.

Of course, in order to prevent suspicion of fraud, the official also selected a number of people to serve as supervisors and watch the live broadcast individually.

On the platform, Istina and the four members of the black team were standing under two spotlights, looking at the people below with smiles.

At this time, the people from the two teams that had just been eliminated had also come to the stage. Because they were standing in front of everyone, Alice didn't dare to ask Istina what the result was just now. She could only nervously wait for the result to be announced.

Although the possibility is not high, what if I really win?

"Okay~ Then I declare this competition a complete success, and the final winner is—"

At the end, the host deliberately prolonged his voice.

"Red Team!"

As the streamers exploded, the lights above the black team went out, leaving only Istina and the others standing in the spotlight, smiling and waving to everyone.

"Yeah! We won!"

As the results were announced, a wailing sound was heard from the crowd below. As for the reason, those who understand it will understand it. If you don’t understand it, then I can’t help you. I can only say that you should listen to my advice and never touch gambling.

And then the light screen in front of everyone began to play the scene of the final battle, so that they could understand why they died.

The breakthrough point of the battle was indeed the reckless surprise attack by Laurel and her group. Originally, Istina could only reduce the number of hits the opponent received little by little, and she had to be careful not to be hit herself. After all, it was different from actual combat. Here, just being hit counted.

But under their surprise attack, Istina took advantage of the chaos and threw a lot of arrows directly at the two opponents. She used the time limit of long-range attacks to greatly reduce the opponent's blood volume. Then, before the opponent's archers came to support, she took away one person in a wave and severely injured another one. Soon, that person also followed in the footsteps of his predecessor under Istina's targeting.

Just like that, one versus two, one ranged and one close combat, what was the outcome? Naturally, after a brief struggle, they were both happily sent packing, without even using their replacement bracelets.

After watching Istina's performance, the people in the audience no longer complained. They could only say that the Black Team's loss was not unfair. The opponent was too strong. It was completely the level of a big guy going out to bully the weak.

After the film was over, the organizers also awarded prizes and souvenirs to several people. Unfortunately, the lifetime free meal was only limited to the person himself, which put an end to Istina's idea of ​​transferring the qualification.

Laurel and the other three were also quite happy at this time. After all, they unexpectedly got such a surprise when they went out.

But the happiest person is naturally Alice. With this support, she can take care of her sister more easily.

In this way, the game ended smoothly, and everyone was happy except the gamblers.

§ 46 Celebration Banquet

After the award ceremony, the mall officially opened for business. Before the group separated, Jimati made a suggestion.

"Everyone, how about we have a celebration party? I'll treat you!"

After saying that, he looked at Alice again.

"Alice, bring your sister here too. Oh, I forgot to ask, what's her name?"

"Her name is Ivis, but there's no need for a celebration party..."

"Alright~ We're all teammates who've fought together, so stop hesitating, Alice."

Laurel said as she took her hand.
