195 The End Of The Inter-Campus Tournament
The nine-headed snake had thought of every kind of possibility. There was a reason for him to choose to end themselves in this manner.
It was obvious that he was in the middle of a war between the Light-Types and the Dark-Types. It would be troublesome if this continued. That was one of the reasons.
The other was that the Hydra was worried about the mythical beast and its power. If the mythical beast’s power could overrule the Overlord Plane’s laws, then it could destroy him and his Lord permanently, without his Lord being able to revive himself. At that time, even the Territory Core might not be able to revive the Overlord!
So, the Hydra had chosen this way. So, that they would be gone before the mythical beast awoke. He had the safety net of the Territory Core and a possibility of revival for both him and his Lord at their territory.
However, he had failed to consider something. Lord Aiur’s resources had been snatched away!
The terrifying energy ball was very close to them now. The rocks on the ground were crushed. The plants and trees were blown away. It was too late to avoid it!
“I…”
The Hydra didn’t know what to say. He had made a grave mistake that would cost him his life and his Lord’s.
BOOM!
The energy ball descended on the Hydra and Lord Aiur. The impact pulverized them to the ground.
“It’s… over.”
“Why was the Hydra such a coward in the end?” said the Light Mage.
She had thought the Hydra was going to attack them instead. But the stupid snake had blown himself up along with his Lord. She didn’t understand why the Hydra had used such a drastic step to escape from the situation.
When the Hydra and Lord Aiur were reduced to dust, a gem was left behind where they had stood moments ago. It was the Competition Gem.
Su Wan had managed to get all the gems except Lord Aiur’s and Lord Carla’s. She didn’t know that Xu Yuan had already obtained Carla’s gem.
Su Wan saw the gem and got excited. “It’s really the end for them…”
She had been momentarily stunned when she saw the energy ball. She thought she was finished. However, she had never expected that the Hydra would choose to commit suicide. The Hydra had even killed his Lord.
Without the Hydra, the outcome of the fight looked positive. The White Dragon Saint and the Red-Eyed Black Dragon were exhausted, but they were more than enough to deal with at least one Light-Type hero. Meanwhile, there was the Dark Enchanter and the Fallen Angel to clash with the remaining two Light-Type heroes.
The Dark Enchanter’s father had been the Great Magician Marshal. She was obviously knowledgeable and skilled when it came to combat. She had a terrifying ability, too!
The Fallen Angel wasn’t at his peak right now, but he was still scary when it came to a fight. He used to be the deputy to the King of Heaven, after all. His strength and experience weren’t something that the three Light-Type heroes could compare to.
All in all, Su Wan was certain of her victory.
Su Wan took advantage of the confused state of the Light-Type heroes and transformed into her Demonic Dragon form. She flew over and snatched the gem.
‘Only one more left…’
Su Wan felt a little bit disappointed. She was so close! But she couldn’t leave now to go and collect the last gem. The arena seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Su Wan thought of Xu Yuan. He always urged her to throw the gems into her territory via the Dimensional Portal, so the dwarves could reforge them. She looked at it for a while. She still had one more gem left to collect. If she had two at hand, she would automatically win because the other Lord would have only one.
She sighed. She then opened the Dimensional Portal and threw the gem in. The moment the gem was taken out of the arena, it wouldn’t be counted for points.
At this time, a notification appeared in her mind.
[Only one gem is detected in the arena. The competition has ended.]
Su Wan was stunned. ‘Only one gem detected… shouldn’t there be two gems in the arena?’
Su Wan counted the total gems she had gotten and the Lords she had defeated. There should be one more Lord left! How was this possible?
‘Maybe the Lord left the arena with the gem…,’ thought Su Wan.
Su Wan couldn’t think of any other possibility. The reason she had been snatching the gems and throwing them into her own territory was so that they wouldn’t be counted. In the end, she would be the only one with a gem in the arena.
Additionally, it was because Xu Yuan had seen the special property of the gems. The dwarves could reforge the gems into building upgrade stones, so they could be used for upgrading the territory.
The other Lords had no such intention. They kept it close to themselves and protected the gems at all costs. They only wanted to gain points to win the tournament.
‘Is there another person who has found a greater use for the gems?’ wondered Su Wan. ‘Maybe they used the gem to reforge it into building upgrade stones to upgrade their territory like me?’
Su Wan thought about it. Her consciousness entered her territory. She wanted to see how many building upgrade stones were left.
When she counted them, she realized that an extra gem had been added to her territory.
“How did this get here?” asked Su Wan to one of the dwarves.
“His majesty threw it here through the Dimensional Portal,” answered the dwarf.
