3999 Challenge of Intelligence IV

Bang!

The woman tried to punch me, and I defended as our platform clashed.

I tried to kick, but her platform got repelled so that I was able to only touch her clothes.

I had tried to move up, but she had stopped me.

Anyone who is trying to move is being stopped. They are attacking each other and grouping up on something that tries to go far.

Bang!

The mustached man kicked a Tiger Beastman. He wasn't able to defend well and began to fall.

The same thing happened with the human woman.

I didn't attack intentionally; it's not like I didn't want to, but I don't see it as benefiting me.

Here people might be less, but all of them are moving complex patterns. Trying to predict is hard, but there is a mission which is a reach the top for which everyone is trying.

There are two ways one could reach. The first is slipping through. which is a hard.

The second is sending everyone down till only you have remained, which is even harder. It is why I am not trying at all; to me, slipping is still the best option.

"Let me go first and I will promise you all ten flowers of oreis each," said the mustache.

An extremely rare resource and of the Prime Grade. Oreis flowers only mature at the Prime, but he is offering each one of us ten flowers.

One is valuable enough, and there are ten on the menu.

It is probably not a lie; he does not seem like a man who would risk his reputation for it.

Compared to the thing we all want, or they know. From what I gathered so far; the reward is bigger than the century challenge.

This means there is an even better thing than Prime Volsnorth wants.

The thing he wants is already so rare that it is worth tens of thousands of those flowers. However, no one in their right mind would sell those things for the flowers.

It is the thing that helps one in comprehending the law. It's really a rare thing that golden prime organization would send their people to get.

"Snort!"

Everyone snorted and laughed at his offer; he likely expected it and was a strategy on his part to slip through.

Though n.o.body is food, everyone is keeping a sharp eye on everyone.

n.o.body letting reach the top.

Minutes pa.s.sed, and three more people fell down, but four more came from below. Though, of them, one had already fallen down.

Minutes pa.s.sed, and more fell and more came, but only remained constant.

The seven were always in the top five.

More time pa.s.sed and people used different strategies, but nothing seemed to work through.

Though we might not make progress, we are slowly moving up. Getting closer and closer to the top.

Making the fight more intense.

"Mind helping me reach the top; I promise you I will not disappoint you with reward," said Fox Beastman.

Bang!

"I am giving you the same offer," I replied, and the man smiled before attacking me. I defended and attacked back, but the man dodged.

The offers of alliance started to pick up, but n.o.body accepted anybody's offer.

Everyone here either had allegiance to a different organization or was independent. There are no two people in a single organization.

Of course, they came, especially from two golden primes, alkaz, and even my organization, but were quickly kicked out by a temporary alliance.

n.o.body wants to let the others gather their members.

This challenge is really something. Might I say, most difficult, even than the first two, which wanted me to give up every second in the last leg.

An hour pa.s.sed, and we had crossed more than half of the distance between the top and could below us.

We are moving up, albeit slowly, but doing it.

Like everyone else, I am trying to find the path to slip up, but it is hard. Everyone is sharp and they would notice even the slightest movements, making things really difficult.

Two and half hours pa.s.sed and even now, no one had reached the top, while a lot of people had fallen down.

All of them were new who came; it is why those who had stayed long enough are staying on the sideline, away from conflict, while eight of us fight like cats and dogs.

Some brave souls would come to take a chance and would quickly throw out.

Another hour pa.s.sed, and things began, really compet.i.tive. There is only a three-meter distance between us and the top of the tower.

It is so close.

Everybody is trying everything, but n.o.body is letting anyone go near it. It's so d.a.m.n hard.

'A chance,'

Finally, I saw the chance. Everybody is engaged everybody, and I moved. I didn't hold back at all and used everything I had observed so far.

Their strategies and their style and everything.

Bang!

They noticed my movement immediately and came at me.

The first is a blue-haired man. He came and punched me, but I bent and avoided, it before cras.h.i.+ng my platform against the girl.

I defended against her attack, used the force of the crash to move back, and crashed against the platform of the Fox Beastman.

Bang!

I suffered from his kick on the back but achieved my objective of dodging the three next.

Two were far, while the third I avoided by an inch. Now leaving only two of them. The mustached man and the girl who came second in the last challenge.

Bang Bang!

Both of their platforms crashed their mine at the same time. I hoped for the attack, but they were far too intelligent for that.

No, they used this to leap from their platform, just like me.

My distraction gave them a chance high enough as me. Which is enough to make the leap with strength we have, and we did.

A few seconds later, we appeared over the tower and descended, using every method we had to fall down fast enough.

We even extended our toes, so we could be the first to touch the surface.

Thud Thud Thud!

We landed on the top at the same time and waited for the voice, to tell us, who is the first.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
