Existence's Compensation

It wasn't unusual for a few heads to appear on the high wall, since the public was unaware that the Ross Royal Court was now deserted.

But as those figures laughed heartily and jumped off the high wall with great fanfare, a discordant note finally emerged from the deafening cheers in the square.

Some people noticed their presence and screamed as they ran outside. These Kannaal citizens, just like Old Galen before them, clearly mistook these outsiders for World Destroyers from outside the city.

In their eyes, the World Destroyers seemed to have already besieged the city and had even begun to probe with attacks!

But believe it or not, the panicked crowd was right this time. Among these five people, there really were Believer of [Annihilation], and not just one, but two!

Cheng Shi had already heard the song containing the aura of [Annihilation], and the fanatical player who rushed to the front among the five, wielding Daggers, could make the people blocking his way disappear with a mere gesture. This undisguised talent effect immediately reminded him of the Assassin of [Annihilation], the Disciple of Silence!

One Doom Herald, the other Disciple of Silence; it seems these suddenly appearing players are truly planning to play the role of World Destroyers.

But... how did they get here?

As soon as he saw the five people jump off the high wall, Cheng Shi secretly gripped a Scalpel, moved away from where Qu Yan was, and ran with the crowd to the outer perimeter.

As he retreated, he sent messages to Qu Yan and Da Yi, warning them to be wary of the approaching people, as these people were likely to be the variable in this Trials.

This was clearly a clash between two Trials. Although the probability of this was low, it wasn't impossible. Obviously, Cheng Shi's two "underlings" were very familiar with this scenario.

On the other hand, the group rushing forward like madmen seemed to have no idea that what they were about to witness would be another Trials.

The Assassin at the front had an excited and joyful look in his eyes, just like the Rosna citizens in the square before. He nimbly rushed to the center of the square, his target obvious: Qu Yan, who was still holding the Daggers and had not moved.

Qu Yan didn't move because he noticed that the people rushing over were all unfamiliar faces, and their running posture was full of flaws. How to put it, he secretly calculated that if the way the other party approached wasn't deliberately revealing flaws to lure him into attacking first, then he would probably only need... three arrows to take down these suddenly appearing outsiders.

One arrow could kill the Disciple of Silence at the very front, another could cripple the hooded female player who was lagging behind and couldn't move very fast, and the remaining arrow could even skewer the three people in the middle like candied hawthorns.

It was too casual, too chaotic. They even dared to charge forward in an unfamiliar place, following the path of the trailblazers without any change.

Isn't this just pure suicide?

Players who can make this move will have a score of...

Um?

Did I run into a low-level match?

Qu Yan's gaze sharpened, and he became secretly on guard.

In high-level games, everyone is very shrewd and considers many things, but their thinking and ideas are mostly predictable. However, in low-level games, you have to think much more because the opponent may not follow the expected pattern, and you may not even be able to predict their behavior.

Normally, if he encounters a low-level opponent and it proves useless, Qu Yan would prefer to kill them. However, this Trials is no longer an ordinary Trials. He can no longer act according to his own will, but must follow the arrangements of Lord Foolish Play.

Since the adults haven't told me to take action, I'll just... hold back for now.

But just as I was thinking that, someone couldn't hold me back anymore.

The Believer of [War], Da Yi, had secretly crept up to the Disciple of Silence at some point. Seeing that the Assassin of [Annihilation] didn't even glance at Da Yi, treating him as an inconvenient NPC, he wanted to casually banish him to the world of Annihilation.

This completely baffled Da Yi.

We've been discovered?

Oh no! There's a master!

His gaze darkened, and he used the shadows of the snow and wind to dodge the attack. He then delivered a straight thrust that pierced the opponent's waist and abdomen. Afterward, he swung three iron spikes in front of the supporting players behind him to block the enemy for a moment. At the same time, he pulled with his right hand, directly pulling the iron spikes out of the Disciple of Silence's abdomen.

The entire counterattack took only a moment. When Qu Yan looked again, he found that the Disciple of Silence who was at the forefront had been cut into several pieces and shattered on the ground.

The light in the other person's eyes hadn't even faded; their pupils still reflected the gleam of coveting the Daggers.

"..."

Da Yi was stunned again. He hadn't expected his opponent to be so fragile, dying in a single blow. However, this astute Assassin also realized that these people didn't seem to be that strong. He had probably just gotten lucky when he saw what happened to him. So he retreated after his attack and quietly returned to Cheng Shi's side while the others were in disarray.

"Damn, that scared me!"

My lord, these gentlemen...

Cheng Shi laughed. He had seen the whole thing, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his hand to quell the noise and pulled Da Yi into the crowd.

The three of them were watching the show, but this sudden scene stunned the four of the opposing team.

The player in second place suddenly stopped, and without caring what his teammates behind him thought, he crouched down, covered his head, and rolled away on the ground.

Once he blended into the screaming crowd, the remaining two, their faces dark, slowly retreated and joined up with the female player who was running at the back.

The female player was short and unaware of what had happened ahead. She looked up, panting, and asked, "What's wrong?"

A chubby man wearing glasses reached out and stopped her, shaking his head and backing away with a serious expression:

"There's danger. It looks like we've crashed into someone else's car again."

There's a Xi Guang Tie Ci in this square! A very powerful Xi Guang Tie Ci.

"What!? Another collision?" The female player gasped, covering her mouth. Instinctively, she drew a Daggers and held it horizontally in front of her, but then she quickly put it away in a panic, raising her Daggers instead. "Who's hurt?" she asked anxiously.

The bespectacled fat man kept his eyes peeled and remained silent, while another tall, thin man spoke up in a deep voice, "He Zu dead."

The female player's pupils contracted at first, but then she slowly breathed a sigh of relief when no one else could see her.

"What do we do now?"

"I've been targeted, so it won't be easy to get away. I knew it; if this thing were so easy to take, it would have been taken long ago."

For now, we can only be more vigilant and retreat. We haven't had a direct conflict with them yet, and the fact that they only killed one person should be a warning.

"Step back, withdraw from this struggle, and perhaps we can save our lives."

The fat man appeared calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed his anxiety and unease.

The opponent was too strong. In a single move, he killed the strongest teammate in this Trials. He didn't even see where the opponent was. He only saw a few iron spikes stuck in front of his feet and then flash by. He Zu shattered into a pile of mangled flesh.

With an assassination attempt of this magnitude, if the attacker were to advance any further, who would be the next to die?

So the fat man got scared and kept backing away, but the tall, thin man next to him was clearly unwilling to give up.

"Just a little bit more, that legendary Daggers was just a little bit short!"

"Heh, don't even dream about it. Think about it, since the Xi Guang Tie Ci are so powerful, they didn't rush to snatch the Daggers. What does that mean?"

This means that the black-robed man who possesses the "Gift of Scars" is even more powerful than him!

The Assassin was wary, which is why he didn't rush to take the Daggers. But he was protecting his food; we were nothing in this struggle. We should retreat quickly before he got our hands on us.

Living is the most important thing.

Besides, you've already witnessed two periods of history, aren't you satisfied yet?

The tall, thin man panicked. "I used an incredibly precious ' Past Life Replay! I've lost this money like crazy! If I knew I wouldn't get it, why did I even come?"

"..." Upon hearing this, the female player behind him offered a strange reassurance, "Don't worry, maybe even that [War] Assassin won't get it? We're not entirely without a chance?"

These words suddenly enlightened the other party, and the tall, thin man nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, things of this caliber are meant to be obtained by those who are destined for them, and it's not certain who will end up in their hands."

Even if they find it, they might not be able to take it with them.

No, I have to mark this history, to write myself into it, so that I can come back next time. The more I come, the more likely I am to obtain it someday!

As he spoke, the tall, thin man opened a history book and wrote down the scene in a flowing, elegant style.

A flash of light, and history was rewritten once again.

It seems that Nothingness has indeed eroded existence, so existence has repaired history in a reasonable way, which is to let a Singer of Memory appear here and remember everything that he has encountered.
