Chapter 40 Slaughter Arena

My look is different this time. Clara is very good at styling and not to mention the clothes she makes, I like them. The black clothes I wore were not so tight and the black robe had golden yellow stripes. Comfortable leather shoes to wear.

Clara doesn't mess with my hair, it's very simple, my long hair is tied in a ponytail and the strands are left to fall over my shoulders. Nothing changed about my appearance, only the clothes I wore.

Clara kept clapping her hands because she saw that the result was extraordinary. I looked at myself in the large mirror, and I looked ordinary and simple, nothing extraordinary at all.

"Because it's so simple, you have an extraordinary aura."

She is good at giving compliments, but I don't like to be praised. On the contrary, I praised her extraordinary clothing design. If there was no alarm, I would be shocked and have to end this conversation. I was nervous again and almost forgot that I was now in the arena, soon the contestants would be in the tube.

I could just walk away from this stupid game, run away and go home. But the consequence is my family. Father, mother and Gisella will be in big trouble. No one can escape from 'The Magus Games' because this stupid game is back. The powers that be are forcing their children to participate in The Magus Games.

This year 'The Magus Games' were held again in the exact year I was in college, at the age of sixteen. After that, this game will be held once a year. They wanted to replace the magus soldiers with the young magus and send the young magus to the arena of slaughter. However, if you want to win, your life will be at stake.

"Morgan, wait a minute."

My one foot, which was about to step on the pipe, had to stop as Clara took something out of a dark blue box. A gold pin is round and in the middle is a trident.

 A trident?

"The flames of passion are good, but they weaken you. With calm water you can think clearly."

Clara put the trident pin in my chest. The golden shine looks nice, it matches the clothes I'm wearing. But I still didn't understand his words at all.

"Oh, I'm just repeating what the Great Emperor said. I'm not like him to be mysterious."

This gold pin was a gift from that cold and arrogant man? He was arrogant and looked down on me, he was the one who kidnapped me and made my friends almost die. And he was the one who voluntarily gave me a score of 12, a perfect score. I don't understand how this guy thinks at all. And his friendly smile, shown to me for the first time.

Too many questions in my mind. Clara forced me into the tube. The Magus Games are about to begin.

Shocked and panicked, the tube door closed. Clara assured me that everything would be okay. I was separated from Clara, this tube became a partition between me and Clara. The platform at my feet shook and the tube plate lifted up. The strange sensation of the tube rising made Clara seem to sink into the ground.

I had to stay calm and not let the spectators and participants see that I was scared. The disk I was standing on stopped in a green grass field, a very wide grass field. At the end of it, I could see a medium-sized building with five pillars supporting the roof of the building. I could see bows and arrows very far away, but I was able to move very quickly before the massacre began. In addition to bows and arrows, the judges have prepared supplies for the needs of the contestants while they are in the arena. The supplies are kept in a gray magic pouch at the front.

My mind wandered here and there, searching for the whereabouts of my friends. Nothing, I didn't even see Helen here. The twelve participants stood quite far apart.

 The atmosphere became increasingly tense as the sound echoed across the green grass field. The judge's voice counted down from ten to one. The sound of the trumpet echoed, very loud, indicating that 'The Magus Games' had begun.

My body just moved, the sound of the trumpet was like an absolute command for me to run as fast as possible and immediately take the bow and arrow at the end of the building. I ran three, four meters. A flash of green light almost hit me, a split second jump under the green light. A young man with curly corn-colored hair shot a flash of green light, not wanting to let me go to where the weapons were.

According to the participant data I saw, the young man with curly corn-colored hair was a member of the Grassland team. He was indeed quite formidable, especially his [Praying Mantis Knife] elemental attribute power. Without using a magical sword, the young man could form a magical weapon from the aura of spirit magic power. However, it was not that perfect.

However, my movements were very quick, and the blow to the young man's head sent him flying, but didn't kill him.

It's a shame that the corn-colored, curly-haired young man didn't die, but I feel a little relieved.

Quick, racing movements, and I immediately took out the bow and arrow. With my main weapon, I was able to freely shoot two people who approached me.

My arrows pierced the heads and hearts of two people who approached me. A girl whose hair was in braids was very unfortunate, and I felt guilty for her death. My arrow went right through the poor girl's heart. If I hadn't fought back, the girl would have almost slit my throat. And the young man whose head I shot, the young man seems to be still alive.

But I ran away in a hurry, went to a distant place, and looked for a safe place with the magic bag I had brought. I could hear the booming sound of the killing field in the First Tower and the flash of light in the distance.

I ran very fast, as far as I could, and I couldn't look back.

My mind is very confused right now. My friends, are they okay? Will they be able to pass through the Killing Arena? I'm worried about them. Lyra and Helen, are they okay?

I can't think clearly right now. My flight was directionless, I didn't know where to go. My footsteps were getting faster, someone was chasing me behind the bushes. His steps were very fast, a hail of knives aimed at me. I jumped, dodged, avoided the knives.

The figure was hidden behind the bushes, aware of the danger approaching me. Sharp eyes, like an animal lurking behind the bushes. A very quick movement to avoid the blade that was coming in front of my eyes. I shot at a figure behind the bushes, the figure was so fast that my arrow just stuck in the tree trunk. The figure with the eyes of a wild animal immediately disappeared. Not disappear, but move very fast.

 Madeline Fischer, she's the girl with wild animal eyes. Her body is not so big and not so small, but her movements are fast and very aggressive.

Why do I have to meet this terrible girl?

I say terrible because the girl's grin was as frightening as that of a wild animal. She did not hesitate to kill me with her two sharp daggers. I jumped here and there very quickly, but the girl could not keep up with my speed. The ground I was standing on instantly froze, and I jumped up and down like a rabbit, avoiding the frozen ground I was standing on.

[Deadly Frost] This spell is the girl's ability to freeze the objects around her, including plants, trees, and even poor little animals. If I were to be struck by the Deadly Frost, it would be like courting death, and I would be like that poor animal that was frozen.

Seeing a small opening, my kick hit his chest. But what happened? My left leg was frozen to my thigh.

A hideous grin spread across her face and the girl grabbed my frozen leg and threw me lightly into the air. The deadly attack was on me. Clashes and flashes of light collided.

Not realizing that there was a cliff below, my body fell very quickly. I fell from a fifty meter deep ravine. The sound of the crash and the cold water of the lake. My ears were ringing and so much water got into my lungs. I fell into a deep, dark lake.

The girl with the eyes of a wild animal gave me a heavy wound on my chest, pain and numbness, making it difficult for me to move my left wrist. The coldness of the lake bound my body until it sank further to the bottom of the dark lake.

I cannot be like this. If I just die, what will happen to the others? Father, mother and Gisella. I don't want to worry my family.

The Healing Training Block is very useful in emergencies like this. I kicked around in the water, trying to keep rising. I sucked in as much air as I could and endured the pain in my shoulder by using only one hand. Trying to swim with only one hand is very tiring. One of my legs was frozen to the thigh, and I tried as hard as I could to swim to shore.

Blood was still oozing from the wound Madeline had inflicted on me as I walked on all fours like a baby. I endured the pain, leaning my frail body against the shady trees.

I had to stop the bleeding, channel the spirit aura, channel the warmth, melt the ice from my feet to my thighs. The blood stopped coming out, but I had to cover the wound so it wouldn't get infected.

The magic bag I was carrying took out the items that were in the small bag.
