Necromancer Of The Shadows

417 First Round (Part 2)



As the portal appeared above the stage, Evan and the others glimpsed mountains, forests, lakes, monsters, and a variety of other things.

'Is this thing really a portable dungeon?' After glimpses of a variety of locations inside the portal, Evan begins to believe that the Silver Orb is definitely a portable dungeon or something similar to it.

"The first round of the tournament will take place inside this small world." all the participants stopped looking at the portal when they heard Natasha's elderly voice.

"This artefact contains a small world of around 2000 kilometres in diameter. In the centre of this world, I placed a green flag." Natasha said and an image of a large mountain appeared inside the portal. At the top of the mountain, everyone were able to see a green flag.

"This round is very simple, the person who reaches the centre of this small world and gets the green flag first will be the winner of the round."

Evan was stunned when he heard that there is a small world in the silver orb with a diameter of two thousand kilometres. The Earth has a diameter of 12,742 km, so it was understandable that he would be stunned to learn that a small orb could fit a world as large as almost 1/6 of the Earth.

But when he heard what Natasha said in the end he can't help but raise an eyebrow.

'The person who reaches the centre first...' Evan thought they will participate as a team, but from what Natasha just said, he could tell that this is not the case.

Evan was not the only one who felt confused after hearing her, other students also realized this fact. (Of course, a certain brain dead woman was still clueless)

"Um... Can I ask something?" the only girl present in the team of Central Academy said while raising her hand like a student.

"Go ahead" Natasha said with a smile on her face like she already knew what she will ask.

"From what you just said, it looks like we will be competing against each other solo...Is this correct?"

Natasha nodded her head after hearing the girl and said in a firm voice, "That's right, in the first round you won't participate as a team. There will be a total of three rounds in the tournament, the second and third rounds will be team rounds but the first round is a solo challenge."

Even though all of them felt confused about why there is a solo round this time, no one said anything.

When Natasha saw no one was asking anything else she continued. "All of you will be teleported to different places inside the small world. Although all of you will appear in different locations, the distance between all of you and the flag will remain the same. The first one who reaches there will be the winner."

"There are many monsters inside the small world, the lowest level of the monster is D+ rank while the highest level is A+ rank."

"There is just one A+ rank monster inside the small world, so try your best to avoid it if you are not confident in fighting against it. If you meet a participant inside the small world, you can team up with him/her if you want or you can fight against him/her and eliminate them."

"If you are thinking about teaming up with other participants after meeting them then remember that, other than the reward you will receive at the end of the tournament, I placed an A rank artefact near the green flag. So if you are thinking about teaming up then..." Natasha did not finish her sentence and just smiled at them. Although she did not finish her sentence, all the participants still get her point.

Since there is just one A rank artefact it is obvious that only one person will be able to obtain it.

But if they decide to team up with someone after meeting them, they will have to keep an eye on him so that he won't backstab them in greed of A rank artefact.

Even though all the participants understood what she meant, their expressions still brighten knowing they can get an A rank artefact.

Evan's eyes also lit up as it is not easy to get an A rank artefact. Besides, he was sure that it won't be difficult for him to win this round.

"Other than monsters, there are many formations and traps inside this small world so keep your eyes always open," Natasha said and looked at the unnamed host of the tournament.

Seeing Natasha looking at him the unnamed host took out some small pale blue crystals from his storage ring and threw them towards the participants.

"If you encounter a dangerous situation inside the small world and can't escape, then you can come out from the small world by crushing this crystal," Natasha said after all participants caught the crystal that the unnamed host threw towards them.

"Don't think that since it is just a tournament you are safe. If you make an irrational decision you can even lose your life, so don't hesitate to crush the crystal if you find yourself in a dangerous situation." Natasha said in a serious voice and only after seeing everyone nodding their head she smiled.

"Okay let's start," she said and waved her hand.

The images showing inside the portal disappeared and the portal completely stabilized.

"Go in," Natasha said after the portal stabilized, then she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you won't be able to fly inside the small world so don't feel confused."

The participants looked at their teammates before they walked towards the portal.

"Good luck," Evan said to Valery and his other teammates before he also went toward the portal.

There was no hesitation in his eyes when he stepped inside the portal. In less than a minute, all twenty-five five participants went inside the portal.

When all participants went inside Natasha waved her hand once again and the portal flashed with a silver light.

After confirming everything was fine with the portal Natasha looked at the unnamed host and went back to her seat.

After Natasha went back, no one noticed but the portal started to release some energy waves that were absorbed by the small stage below the portal.
