Chapter 2771 SURVIVE

Now, its your turn, I said and pulled, and immediately, three bamboo golems came out of the bamboo; they tried to struggle, but all was fruitless in front of my strings.

BOOOM!

Goodbye, I said, and the saber and the spears struck the bamboo golems and archers at the same time, making them explode into pieces.

My strings picked up the sword and bows of the golem and took them to my core before sitting down in a clean s.p.a.ce.

Little more than two hours pa.s.sed, and now there were two choices in front of me, whether I could wait for three days and go and go right now. I decided to wait, not for three days, but for a few hours, to consolidate what I had learned.

Spending three days here would be an utter waste of time, and this opportunity which I have to exploit to its fullest.

Click!

Three hours later, I got up and walked toward the gate, which is at the end of this beautiful bamboo clearing, before opening it and walking inside.

Once again, the darkness has enveloped me, and a star appeared, and this time, it gave me the best score, which is not surprising, seeing I had not taken even half a day to defeat those bamboo golems.

A second after the star appeared on my wrist and merged with the first before, everything cleared, and I found myself on the floating black brick platform with an information board ahead of me. The challenge is described in short but precise words and has one word that is in capital letters.

SURVIVE,

Sup Sup Sup

The board disappeared, and a moment later, I saw a couple of spears materializing around me before coming at me at an incredible speed.

My expression became serious, this might look like a challenge that Knights would face, but it is not. These survival types are the hardest challenges that one would face here. It is very hard to survive the whole period in them, as they are not only difficult but also quite long.

Thankfully, this challenge is only a day long, but it would not be easy to deal with, and I better remember that the bamboo golems I have faced before are proof of that.

Hun!

The spears came at me from all directions with an amazing speed, but as they came closer to me, they turned like a snake, replicating the movement of the expert spear master. I was not surprised; I was expecting something like it, as such challenges have appeared.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

The ax in my hand moved with speed and destructive power and clashed against the spears and destroyed them completely, but that was just the beginning.

Another round of weapons came, and this time, they not only had spears but also hammers, and as they approached me, they moved with a fas.h.i.+on they would move when an expert is wielding them, which created a confusing view, especially now when I am getting attacked by different kind of weapons together.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

The attacks were completly destroyed by my ax, but that was just the beginning as before I even destroyed all the weapons, another group materialized, and then another before the second had even clashed against me.

As expected, no challenge is easy, even those of the first month which are considered the easiest. I thought as I looked at the coming weapons.

As I have said before, the whole place would continuously throw challenges at you, and you will have to crash through them before failure would send you to an even more dangerous challenge, while winning will also throw you at an even more dangerous challenge.

One might not see any difference between winning and losing, but there is because losing will make you continuously fight without giving you the slightest bit of rest, and such a condition, will kill even the worlds strongest, much less me.

Every this thing appears it will take at least a quarter of our lives; the number is always greater than it, but never lower; a couple of times, we have lost more than 50% of the people; the challenges that appeared at those times were truly difficult.

The mortality rate is even high among the Grimms, where at least 40% of their people die, and at the worst time, they have even lost 75% of all those who entered.

Still, despite such a high mortality rate, the people of both races fight to come here, especially those who are at the end of their potential. For those, this place offers a true opportunity that they will not find outside and the absolute truth.

Ten minutes have pa.s.sed, and now the attacks are constantly coming without the slightest break, and the number and types of weapons have also increased.

Now every minute, there would at least twenty different types of weapons would be attacking me, and some were strange and difficult to deal with, like the morning star and chakram; I had nearly summoned two more arms to deal with constant pressure.

I would rather not do that this soon; I want to last at least an hour before I bring out the arms.

Time pa.s.sed, and with every minute, things got harder and harder to deal with; in just half an hour, I had already started sweating heavily under this a.s.sault. If there had been someone else in my spot, they would have already started using the skills and even boosted their strength.

I have skills and could also boost my strength, but I would rather not do that; for more than a year, I have been focusing on the combat style, and I would rather focus my all on that first.

It is not like I would not use the skills I have developed and the boosts I have, it would be foolish to not use them, and I would be forced to as the challenges got harder and harder, but till then, I would polish my combat method, before I begin to polish my skills.

There is a reason I have been focusing so much on the combat style for more than a year, and the reason for it is more than a personal preference. I am developing something, and for it, I need a large amount of combat data in every weapon possible.

I have already added the first model of what I am developing into my Grandmaster inheritance, and if it works as I had expected it to, then I will have another trump card.

Over the years, I have come to know that my strings are not omnipresent; there are ways to deal with them, So I would need something else to deal with the enemies, something strong, something that is as hard to deal with as my strigs.

I had to think a lot before the idea came to my mind, and after comprehensively thinking about it, I wasted no time developing it.

Sup!

The dart flashed by my ax, avoiding it by hair breath distance, coming directly for my eyes. If I had moved my head away on time, I would get much more than the lacerating air.

It seemed like it is time to bring them out, I said, and two arms came out of behind, each holding a rapier and scimitar, and they moved toward the coming weapons.
