Chapter 319: Crushed Pride
Chapter 319: Crushed Pride
The marbles clashed with a forceful impact.
"16!" Adelram shouted.
"13!" Kol shouted.
"12." Gabriel clicked his tongue.
"16," Adam said with a slight hesitation.
This was pretty bad, wasn't it?
'Not good.' Adam frowned. 'Future Sight isn't some all-powerful tool that I've. I don't have a skip left to avoid Adelram's attack!'
"I'll attack Adam!" Adelram shouted. "Come one, who will you attack?"
He didn't want to give Adam any time to think. It was now or ever.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Kol!" Adam's mind was racing.
Adelram was about to throw, but Adam then raised his hand.
"Wait!"
"?!" Adelram frowned and stopped his throw.
"I want to attack Kol first!" Adam tossed his marble towards Kol.
"Tch!" Kol clicked his tongue and rolled his marble.
'Why him first?' Adelram frowned. 'Did I already fall into Adam's trap? I've got a bad feeling about this!'
The marbles came to a stop in the middle of the table.
"3!" Kol's expression looked ugly.
"2!" Adam shouted.
'If I were against Adam, I could've killed him most likely!' Adelram thought. 'Such a shitty score. How lucky is that bastard?'
"No!" Kol screamed, and his marble shattered.
During almost the whole match, he had the greatest advantage over them. Surprisingly, he was only fourth place finisher!

The spears came through the ceiling and stabbed through Kol's heart. He died. However, only a few short seconds later, he woke back up.
"Fuck, that was refreshing!" Kol laughed.
"You and me now!" Adelram shouted. "You can't escape this one!"
"No one is escaping!" Adam rolled his marble across the table.
Adelram did the same.
The two marbles smashed into each other. They looked like they were trying to push each other off the center of the table.
In the end, both marbles lost momentum and came to a slow stop.
"6..." Adelram's eyes shook.
"16!" Adam shouted.
"You lucky, motherfuck-
CRACK!
Adelram's marble shattered, and at the same time, an enormous spear went through his heart and impaled through him, pinning him to the ground.
With a weak breath, he died, but again, a few short seconds later, he woke back up, his body repairing itself as if he hadn't just been killed.
"What the hell is happening?" Pandora asked from herself. "There is no way this human trash is beating us!"
The smoke surrounded Adam's body. His Flow State was stronger than ever before, a power that even he couldn't fully understand.
All the distractions escaped off his mind, and all of his attention was solely on the marble in his hand.
This was the last round.
His Future Sight didn't matter anymore.
It was all about luck.
Adam stopped using his Future Sight. He didn't want to spoil the result for himself.
After all, if he lost, there was nothing he could do to stop that from happening.
Escaping was out of question.
'Bring it on...' Adam narrowed his eyes.
Gabriel licked his lips.
Whoever gets the last attacking turn will have immense advantage!
"Last round!" Adelram shouted. "Roll your marbles."
Gabriel and Adam rolled their marbles across the table.
CLING!
With a loud cling, the two marbles came to a stop.
"11!" Adam shouted.
"19." Gabriel grinned so much that his skin started tearing. "Ready to die?!"
The warlords smirked. This was an immense advantage.
'Fuck!' Adam bit his lips so hard that they started bleeding. 'Come on!'
Gabriel wiped the sweat off his marble, and rolled it across the table.
'Lady luck, do not betray me!' Adam rolled the marble as well.
The two clashing forces met at the center of the table, creating a loud clinking noise that
echoed through the room.
All the eyes landed on the marbles.
"What the hell is that?!" Gabriel screamed. "One?!"
The marble showed pitiful number 1.
"..." Adam grabbed his marble, and showed it to everyone. "20."
Crack!
Gabriel's marble cracked and shattered against his face. Immediately after, the spears went through his body cleanly and pierced through every organ of his.
It was a brutal death.
However, only a second later, he woke up, angrier than ever before!
'Thank you, lady luck.' Adam pocketed the marble.
It was now his lucky charm!
"This is..." Pandora hid her face that looked demonic. "A joke."
Their pride had been crushed by none other than a mere mortal, who was as big of a threat to
them as an ant was to a human.
Ridiculous! Laughable!
"You won, congratulations." Adelram clapped his hands. "Whoever wins usually receives
some kind of reward. What do you want, human? No, Adam?"
This mortal in front of them wasn't anymore just any ordinary human. They remembered his name and face. The highest honor that they could give to anyone.
"I just want to leave this place." Adam said. "I want to return to the New World."
SNAP!
Adelram snapped his fingers, and a door appeared behind Adam. It was a door with tons of
chains, locks, and magic spells.
"That's the exit. Your reward!" Adelram stood up. "You've earned it!"
Adam stood up and walked over to the door. He didn't want to spend another second with the
warlords.
He just wanted to leave.
"We will see you again." Adelram said. "In the New World."
Adam turned around and watched as all the warlords stood up. They were all staring at him.
They all wanted to crush and destroy him!
To restore their pride.
'It feels like four Rawkshawn's staring at me.' Adam thought with trembling eyes. 'To think that he is the weakest warlord. If they break out of their prison, the world of mortals will die.' Turning around, Adam opened the door and stepped through the light.
...
Swoosh!
Adam collapsed on his knees as he stepped out of the door. He appeared back in the tutorial's
safe room's basement.
The Door of Sickness was right behind him.
"Cough!" Adam coughed out black blood and gritted his teeth. "Right, I've got to deal with
this fucking sickness now."
After a long day that seemed to never end, he finally managed to leave that wretched place!
However, he was all alone.
He was the only survivor.
'Whoever sent us to this fucking mission will suffer.' Adam wiped the blood off his lips and
walked away.
