Chapter 2162 Final Days of the Tournament
N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
After the Secret Hunt began, many groups found themselves in the Spatial Kingdom, where the event was being held.
Some people ran into problems before meeting their teammates, some participants were injured after battling beasts, and others had to withdraw from the challenge.
Throughout the Continental Tournament, one would always have the option to quit. All they had to do was channel their energy into a crystal they received after registering. This device would save their lives in a moment of crisis and return them to a safe place on Elves Island.
The downside of this device was that by using it, one would have to give up their participation in the tournament. Their previous scores would still count, but they could not participate in other competitions.
Because of this, some people only used this device in extreme cases that could cause death in the various competitions that existed during this great event.
Sarah's group hadn't suffered from this for a while. After the first two days of the Secret Hunt, everyone in the group had come together to act as a team. In the process, they had completed some of their missions, earning some points for their leaders, but not all of the points that were up for grabs.
The event was really tough, with all kinds of threats and competition, just like in the real world. Losing a little was more than expected, so the group wasn't desperate after the first few days of winning and losing.
But some of the group members, like Sarah and Kendrick, were very happy with the whole development so far. For them, who rarely had the chance to fight and win important goals for their state, the whole experience had been fantastic.
Even their defeats made them feel good since they weren't usually competing against people who could defeat them.
...
The Continental Tournament was nearing its end as the competitors entered the fourth day of the Secret Hunt. When would the event end? That could vary, but it depended on one thing—the bettors' bets.
Merritt sighed, wondering what Minos would do if he won. "I hope he thinks of us when he wins. If there's any Divine Medicine left to mature, I hope it goes to someone from our continent. Even though we were the strongest in the world for a long time, the situation is very different now. If we're not careful, we might be the first continent to be wiped out by the aliens."
The two high-ranking Demigods beside the old man swallowed their saliva at Merritt's alarming words, but they were fully aware that it was all possible.
"Don't worry. If Minos is the winner and there is still a Divine Medicine in this world, he will definitely help the Divine Continent." Julian commented with an expression full of certainty. "In any case, with or without a God among us, our chances in the upcoming war will be bad. I hope I don't embarrass myself in front of the elders."
Wren and Merritt looked at the subject, the youngest among them on the Council of Elders of the Pantheon of Honor.
The woman said. "Sigh, I say the same. Maybe we'll all die very soon, but I hope to kill as many enemies as possible before falling.
If possible, don't stay near me when I have no chance of victory. I'll sacrifice myself to take as many of them with me as I can."
Merritt sighed, "Let's not think about that yet. If we must die, so be it. We've lived long enough. It's just a shame about the young people who are going to fight in this war. They've hardly had a chance to live."
While these three were talking, the groups of individuals with a chance to win the main competition were fully focused on the matrices showing the event taking place inside the Spatial Kingdom.
Important battles for the tournament outcome were taking place as each group watched their final bets unfold in real-time.
In the next few hours, another group would increase their chances or not, while another might fall out of contention for the most valuable prize.
Minos was at his VIP area with his children and his wives, watching Kendrick and Sarah's performance, feeling the thrill of having something so important to him decided by his children.
If they did badly, he would lose the chance to raise another Demigod to level 100 without attracting attention. Still, if they did well, the situation for his family and their state would improve considerably.
Either way, the tournament would be over in the next few hours, and it would be time for everyone involved to worry about the last few years before the aliens arrived!
