The stage area was owned by the guild, and it was the land dedicated to the competition. There were very few people who could prepare for the competition in another dimension like White Yaksha. It was even more so for the lower levels.
In addition, there were also free areas for commercial and entertainment facilities. Living areas, farming areas, etc. Every outer sect had a large number of areas.
"Moreover! Everyone in the guild left!”
"…This is indeed very strange."
Flying Bird and the others looked at each other in puzzlement.
"Right, right? Although I don't know what the competition will be, please be careful!”
After receiving the enthusiastic encouragement from the shop assistant, the group walked towards the residential area of " Ferris Gallo."
"Ah, everyone! I can see... but-"
The black rabbit couldn't help but doubt its own eyes. The others were the same. Because the residential area in front of them had become like a forest.
Yao looked at the towering trees and the door that was covered in vines and said in surprise,
“………。Is this a jungle?"
"After all, it's a guild where Tiger lives. It's not strange at all, right?"
"No, it's very abnormal. The headquarters of the Felice Garo guild should be an ordinary residential area…and these trees could it be…"
Ren said as he carefully extended his hand towards the tree. The tree branch pulsated like a living creature, and he could feel the fetal movement through the bark.
"Sure enough, it's a 'ghost'. However, how is this possible?"
"Renjun. "The contract document is pasted here," Flying Bird said.
The contents of the match were recorded on a piece of parchment pasted on the goalpost.
Contract document:
[Gift Game Name: The Criminal at Large!]
[Contestant List: Sixteen Nights Reversal]
Flying bird from afar
Kasugebe Sho
Ren Russell
[Condition: Eliminate Garde Jasper who is hiding in the organizer's headquarters.]
[Solution: Use the special weapon designated by the organizer to destroy it.] Other than the designated weapon, according to the " contract," no other methods could harm Garde Gaspar.
[Defeat condition: Surrender, or when the participant is unable to meet the above conditions.]
[The bargaining chip: Noname's soul and pride.]
Swear to abide by the above rules, under the glory and flag," Nameless " will participate in the Bestowal Competition.
"Fris Gallo" Seal."
"The condition to deal with Garde is…to use a designated weapon!？”
"This, this is not good!"
Ren He and the black rabbit both cried out miserably. Flying Bird, who couldn't help but worry, asked,
"Is this game that dangerous?"
"No, the game itself is very simple. But the problem was the rules. According to this rule, neither Flying Bird's Blessing nor Yao's Blessing could hurt him…!”
"…What does this mean?" Flying Bird asked in confusion.
" Garde didn't use 'bestowment,' but used 'contract' to protect himself. Now, even if he had a divine spark, he would not be able to attack him! He overcame the power of both of you by adding his own life to the conditions of victory!”
"I'm sorry, I was careless. The rules should have been set when the " contract " was made from the very beginning…!”
Since it was the " organizer " who decided the rules, the participants admitted that it was suicidal to enter the competition with a blank sheet of paper. Ren, who had never participated in the Bestowal Competition, did not know how stupid it was to participate in the Bestowal Competition without setting the rules.
"Has the enemy fought for an equal battle with his life? It's getting interesting objectively."
"Don't say that so easily……according to these conditions, it's quite difficult. It doesn't say what the designated weapon is, so it might be very passive to participate in the battle."
Flying Bird read the contract carefully. She must be feeling responsible for the competition that she had started. Black Rabbit and Yao, who noticed this, held Asuka's hand tightly and encouraged her.
"No, don't worry! There was a "designated" weapon written on the "contract"! In other words, he had to give some sort of minimal hint. If no hint was given," Frès Gallo " would definitely have fouled and lost! As long as I, Black Rabbit, am here, I will never let them break the rules!”
"Yes, I am. Since the black rabbit has said so, I will work hard too."
"…Hmm, that's true. Or rather, in order to shatter that scoundrel's dignity, we might have to make so many concessions."
Looking at the cute and encouraging black rabbit and Yao who was showing his enthusiasm, Asuka cheered up. This was a fight that he had provoked. As long as there was a possibility of winning, he would never give up.
Sixteen Nights pulled Ren to the side and mentioned what happened last night.
"If we lose this match, my plan will not be able to proceed. So if I lose, I will immediately leave the guild. This pre-determined plan would not change. Do you understand, Little Lord?"
"…I understand. I definitely won't lose."
The three contestants knew that they couldn't be held back by such things. They pushed open the door and walked in with their heads held high. As for Sixteen Nights, she was waiting to watch the show.
The opening and closing of the door seemed to be the signal for the start of the competition. The dense trees immediately wrapped around the door after the three of them entered, blocking their retreat.
No matter what, they could never imagine that there would be people living in this place where the trees had already covered the sky.
The ground beneath his feet, which was once covered with green bricks, was now cracked by the huge roots that rose from the ground. It was no longer suitable for walking. Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be strange for enemies to appear anywhere.
At this moment, Yao said to the nervous Ren and Asuka,
"Don't be afraid. There was no one nearby. I can tell by the smell."
"Ah, is the dog your friend too?”
"Yes, I am. There are about twenty of them."
The gift of Kasugebe Yao was that the more beast friends he had, the stronger he would be. And her physical ability was so powerful. It was also because of this. His sense of smell, hearing, and other five senses were probably even sharper than Sixteen Nights.
"Do you know the exact location?"
"Not yet. However, you can't smell it downwind, so the possibility of it hiding in a house is very high."
"Then let's investigate outside first."
The three of them began to explore the forest. The strange trees seemed to have grown by devouring the houses. The houses were basically destroyed by the tree trunks and roots. The residential area where people lived until yesterday had become ruins.
Although the black rabbit had previously said that it was impossible for " Ferris Gallo " to set up a large-scale competition, the power of Garde, who could create this magical forest in just one night, must not be underestimated.
"To him, this is a battle that will cost his life. It wouldn't be strange if he took out a few trump cards that he had always kept, right?"
"Yes, I am. His battle experience was almost always winning without fighting. Therefore, it was normal to have a powerful unknown gift. Miss Yao, please don't let your guard down when you find Garde."
Unlike the two people who were searching on the ground, Yao jumped onto the tallest tree nearby to guard against Garde.
"... I can't. I didn't find anything that looked like a hint or a weapon."
"Perhaps, it was Garde who took on this task."
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Although this principle was true, without weapons, one would only be suppressed one-sidedly. However, if he chose to fight and run with a lower risk, he could only rely on Yao's power.
"I didn't want to do this, but I had no choice but to change my approach. First of all, use the power of the Kasuga Ministry to find Garde."
"I've already found it."
Ren and Flying Bird looked at Yao on the tree at the same time.
Jumping down from the tree, she pointed at the path where the remains of the bricks were and said,
"In the headquarters. Although it was just a shadow, I did see it."
His eyes, which were different from usual, seemed to have turned golden as he stared at the headquarters. It seemed that this distance was nothing to the bird's vision.
"Looks like you have eagle friends too. However, wouldn't his friends feel sad that Kasuga was suddenly summoned to another world?”
" This, now that you mention it…it's a little uncomfortable."
Yao lost his spirit.
Flying Bird smiled bitterly and patted her shoulder. The three of them were on guard as they headed towards the headquarters. The surrounding trees seemed to have received an order to stop the invasion as they twisted and eroded the main road.
"To be able to turn so many tree ghosts…could it be her…?”
Ren suddenly thought of someone, but he immediately denied it. Because that person couldn't possibly appear here.
