First Savior, then Dictator and Sinistress, three players from Demon Faction who had the highest possibilities of entering the top ten list, or even take up H&G's first place, were dead. This had surprised everyone who was watching the contest. If it was not because of the fact that the Demon Faction still had more players than the Angel Faction in the Mystical Sanctuary, the audience from the Demon Faction would have lost interest in continuing to watch the tournament.
However, Demon Faction's bad luck did not end there.
Poor Death Jesus had encountered Angel Faction's Majestic Hero in his first battle. Without a doubt, he was killed by Majestic Hero's Black Hole.
After that, Netherclaw, Scarlet Bauhinia, and Homme Fatale, each of them had killed one Demon Faction player. This had not only equalized the amount of Demon Faction and Angel Faction's players, there were also two more pairs from Fallen Angels that were united due to Black Flame Steed.
Xin Yu and Judge.
Qin Ruo and Wandering Soul.
Homme Fatale and Black Rock.
These pairs and their majestic Black Flame Steeds very soon became the remaining players' nightmares in the Mystical Sanctuary...
"..."
Behind Mystical Sanctuary's pillar was a bald player. He sneakily peeked around and hid again behind the pillar.
"..."
Genteel Monk exhaled and covertly moved to hide behind another pillar at a very high speed.
Among the players in H&G strongest hundred list, Genteel Monk was considered the most cunning one.
The tournament was seen by every player and he knew that his action just now would bring make everyone despise him. However, the dangerous environment in the Mystical Sanctuary made him feel uneasy. Hence, he was forced to act sneakily.
Especially when Champions like Savior, Dictator, and Sinistress were dead one after another, this made him feel even more uneasy surviving in the inferno-like Mystical Sanctuary.
"This is too scary."
From what he knew, there were only one or two players from the entire H&G who could kill Sinistress or Savior in such a short time.
'Why did they die so fast? Are there so many formidable Champions in H&G? How scary!' Genteel Monk thought inwardly.
In order to get a place in the top ten list, Genteel Monk had to be on high alert in the Mystical Sanctuary. He was very careful in making every move. If he sensed any unusual activity, he would flee immediately.
However, Genteel Monk did not plan to do nothing.
Since he was already here, he did not plan to avoid every battle.
This explained why he was heading in the Golden Battle Flag's direction. If he wanted to avoid every battle, he would have headed in the opposite direction.
Once he knew that the Golden Battle Flag had been taken by someone, he instantly came up with a plan.
He was thinking, since everyone's attention was on the Golden Battle Flag right now, now was the highest possibility to encounter the enemy.
There would even be a chaotic battle around the Golden Battle Flag holder.
If this really happened, it would create an opportunity for Genteel Monk.
Right now there were seventy something players remaining in the Mystical Sanctuary. So far, the highest points obtained was only three points, the following one was two points, and the rest only had one point.
If he could take advantage of the chaotic battle and get at least two or three points, he could have a chance to get into the top ten list!
As long as he could get the Demigod equipment award, the sneaky and cowardly action he took right now would not be mocked by the others.
After all, the result was the strongest proof.
"..."
Genteel Monk carefully advanced a hundred meter and peeked from behind a pillar. He vigilantly scanned the Mystical Sanctuary and then took out the map.
"That's right, just in front." Genteel Monk hid even more carefully into the shadow as he spoke to himself while scanning his surroundings and listening to any noticeable movements from Golden Battle Flag's location.
It was already over ten minutes since the Golden Battle Flag was taken.
"It can't be only one person who ran to the Golden Battle Flag!"
What was weird was, Genteel Monk tried to eavesdrop on the potential battle that he was expecting, but there was no clashing sound at all.
"Something is not right."
Genteel Monk frowned and mumbled to himself.
"Maybe everyone is as smart as me?"
While pondering, Genteel Monk could feel an obvious but unexpected magic fluctuation coming from far away. He heard a huge clashing sound too...
"There it is!"
Genteel Monk's eyes instantly lit up as he scanned around. Without activating his wings, Genteel Monk advanced in the battle's direction while hiding himself behind the pillars' shadows.
Before long, Genteel Monk reached the destination.
He was well-aware of his distance from the Golden Battle Flag holder based on the map. What he could confirm was, one of the two who were fighting in front of him must be the Golden Battle Flag holder.
Just within a few seconds, Genteel Monk could already identify that the Golden Battle Flag holder was the Elementalist, and the other one who was fighting with the Elementalist was a Summoner.
The Summoner who fought with the Golden Battle Flag holder was very strong. He was flying in the air with his golden wings and attacking the Elementalist mercilessly. What a condescending presence he had! He must be a very experienced Summoner to duel the Elementalist.
However, the Elementalist was not weak either...
A person who could hold the Golden Battle Flag for more than ten minutes must have some formidable power.
Despite the fact that the Elementalist was unable to activate Divinity Crystal under the Summoner's pressure, the Elementalist could still estimate the Summoner's attack position and distance...
Every time the Summoner entered the attacking range, three black skulls would attack immediately. This forced the Summoner to stay away from Elementalist's attacking range and was often unable to hit the Elementalist.
Too bad for the Summoner Class as they did not have any skill that could resist elemental attacks. For a top Elementalist, any simple spell could already take down the Summoner.
Without a doubt, the Summoner and Elementalist had had a long battle...
Genteel Monk suddenly realized that there was someone else like him, peeking at the battle.
That person was also a Berserker. However, that Berserker also had a huge horse beside him. It looked like he was going to take advantage of the situation too.
"Heh."
Genteel Monk scolded the Berserker inwardly.
"What kind of stupid is this, not even hiding properly when peeking."
"Doesn't he know that the Golden Battle Flag will attract a lot more stronger players in the Mystical Sanctuary? If he stands there and looks at the fight in such an obvious spot, for sure he will be targeted by other enemies."
"How can such a dumbass survive until now..."
Genteel Monk felt puzzled. After he confirmed that there was no other enemy nearby, he decided to make the dumbass Berserker his first stepping stone.
"..."
"These two guys are so wicked!"
"Wicked?! They are evil!"
In front of the screen, players were scolding furiously.
The Winter Demon Qin Ruo, who could defeat even Sinistress, was taking such a long time to defeat a Level 50 Summoner from the Demon Faction?
Who would believe that?
With Qin Ruo's speed and power, he could take down the Summoner easily.
What he did right now was nothing more than to lure more enemies to his location.
Besides, the dumbass who was watching the battle had already defeated an Elementalist effortlessly when Qin Ruo was taking advantage of the Golden Battle Flag to lure the first enemy.
At this very moment, his expression obviously showed that he had already noticed Genteel Monk's presence. However, he still acted like he was oblivious to it and did nothing to defend himself.
"These two... Fallen Angels' people are evil!"
People from the Demon Faction wanted to turn off the screen immediately after seeing this. However, the system was very smart. The way it showed the scene often made people want to continue watching the tournament.
Especially when they saw Genteel Monk sneaking to the pillars behind Wandering Soul. They held their breath and wondered how Wandering Soul was going to give Genteel Monk a lesson. Or maybe! Wandering Soul would be killed by Genteel Monk?! That must be interesting!
"..."
Genteel Monk did not know that he was being lured into a trap set by Qin Ruo and Wandering Soul. He was thirty meters away from Wandering Soul now but he had already taken the first move to summon his Pet. A Medusa with hundreds of little snakes on its head appeared. The Medusa then shot an arrow with petrifying effect at Wandering Soul.
At the same time, Genteel Monk's body released an astounding aura. Lightning galloped from behind the pillars and headed toward Wandering Soul.
"Shit!"
"He is ambushing from so far away? What a low level skill."
Wandering Soul initially thought that Genteel Monk would get nearer to him first before ambushing him. Right now, his attack from such a distance forced Wandering Soul to stop pretending.
Wandering Soul turned around and deflected Medusa's petrifying arrow with his broadsword. At the same time, he summoned Heaven Peal Lion. Genteel Monk was startled by Wandering Soul's action.
"Don't you dare to flee from me."
The main purpose for Wandering Soul to support Qin Ruo was to attract more enemies to him. With that, Qin Ruo could earn more killing points and get into top ten list to get the Demigod equipment.
It was not easy to have a second enemy here, he wouldn't possibly let go of such an opportunity.
"..."
Genteel Monk was surprised that his opponent was able to cast Spell Break in such a short time. He activated Berserk and fled immediately.
Unfortunately, Wandering Soul's speed was too fast. With the Movement Speed Potion's help, he caught up with Genteel Monk. Heaven Peal Lion had also caught up easily with its golden wings.
"Since I can't escape, I will fight you with my might!"
Genteel Monk did not believe that he would lose to Wandering Soul, since they both were Berserker Class.
Who knew...
When Genteel Monk turned back, he saw the Heaven Peal Lion put its hands together and stretch its wings.
A golden color light just like the light from a tiny sun, suddenly appeared and pierced Genteel Monk's eyes!
