Chapter 478: Chapter 128 Life is Like a Play_3
This strategy was the advanced and complete version of the Double Water Shield Spell that Link once used with “Double Casting”.
The attacks from both sides were launched and arrived almost simultaneously.
The collision of offense and defense occurred in unison.
A booming sound echoed while glimmers of light scattered haphazardly.
Without Link’s intervention, “Freedom to do Anything” barely made it a draw against Shadow City Team.
Neither side gained an advantage.
Ten motorbikes completed their turn and halted, facing the tightly-arranged Shadow City Team.
Both sides had time to prepare for a second wave of attack.
“Link Grande.”
Christina signaled her subordinates to hold off for now, pulled out a semi-finished “Reversal” Potion and drank it to temporarily restore her voice. After casting Amplification Magic, she shouted loudly, “I know your power, and I know you didn’t engage before. If you had, I would probably be a corpse now. We surrender, can you spare us?”
Link rode his motorbike to the front of the “Freedom to do Anything”group, staring at the Shadow City Team indifferently, he coldly uttered, “If I can kill you, why should I spare you? Give me a reason.”
Meanwhile, at Link’s instruction, Franda whispered into Christina’s ear, “Master asked me to remind you, there might be surveillance, think of an excuse that won’t get you in trouble.”
Christina’s head made an almost imperceptible nod, then she continued shouting:
“The reason is simple, what you want is rank, what we want is survival.
If we lose our lives, we lose everything.
I know, if we surrender, we may face problems afterwards.
But if we don’t surrender, we will certainly die under your hands, even the possibility of facing troublesome situations becomes null.
I believe that the higher-ups of Shadow City won’t blame us.
Your fighting power is simply too exaggerated; it’s not our fault.”
Link smiled, “I can accept this explanation, but what do you propose to offer in exchange for my magnanimity?”
At Link’s words, Christina’s snake eyes filled with confusion, she remained silent for a long time.
It was clear to anyone watching that Christina was struggling internally, uncertain whether she should offer some critical, valuable information or belongings to secure a surrender deal.
“Captain, we will fight them.”
“After all, death isn’t that bad.”
“Right, at worst, we die.”
“Captain, don’t make it hard for yourself, there’s nothing to fear. Death solves all problems, it’s not a big deal.”
Christina’s handpicked team members voiced out one after another.
While their humanity isn’t too twisted, they’ve also portrayed some of the inherent nature of various snakes.
Indifferent, ruthless, and unbothered by the notion of death.
“Shut up!”
Christina’s snake eyes narrowed as she stared hard into each team member’s eyes, “Am I the captain or are you? Listen to me!”
After emphasizing her authority and silencing the dissenting voices within the team, Christina confronts Link once again.
Taking a deep breath, Christina said as if she had put it all on the line, “Once, a wizard from one of your academy’s families tried to bribe me to work against you in this competition. But after seeing your fighting ability firsthand during our previous exchange study, I didn’t dare to agree. Is this information enough to buy our lives?”
“It’s enough.”
Link’s face clouded, “You choose to surrender, I’ll agree to it.”
“Alright.”
Christina pulled out her stopwatch-like device and chose to surrender to Link’s team.
Link agreed immediately.
Ten columns of white light descended from the sky and transported the ten members of the Shadow City Team out of the field.
A game perfectly coordinated with the tacit understanding derived from six months of research and experimentation, came to a conclusion.
It was unknown how the “audience” felt after watching this play unfold.
Whether they accepted this plot.
