Soul echo

Chapter 249 The Battle of Killing the Gods ([-])

Five days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the official start of the 'Great Contest'.

On this day, Zhong Ye came out of the room fully armed and stood outside Lilian's room door waiting.

After confirming the start time of [God Killing War], Lilian was not so anxious, but was full of interest in the upcoming 'big contest'.

To be exact, Lilian was interested in most of the things that happened in "Echo of Soul".

Because in reality, she can't walk around, travel, and go out to play. In "Echo of the Soul", she obtained a body that can move freely, and the curiosity accumulated for more than ten years can bloom. Lilian will naturally like to go out and walk around.

Today, Zhong Ye didn't get up early to exercise for a long time, so when Lilian went online and opened her eyes, she found that she was still lying on the bed.

After tidying up, Lilian left the room, but just after turning on the live broadcast, greeting the audience, and pushing open the door, she saw Zhong Ye in full armor standing outside the door.

Lilian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Didn't you act after the 'big contest'?"

When she asked this sentence, Zhong Ye gave him a strange look.

"I... am going to compete."

Lilian immediately exclaimed: "Competition?!"

She widened her eyes and looked at Zhong Ye in disbelief.

Her exclamation naturally attracted the attention of others, but they all glanced away and looked away, but there were also a few people staring with interest, ready to watch the show.

Zhong Ye sighed helplessly, and said unhappily: "For the 'Great Martial Arts Contest', there should be many masters participating. I intend to compete with you in martial arts."

Hearing these words, Lilian breathed a sigh of relief, and those who were about to watch the show pouted and left.

"Let's go, go down to have breakfast, and then sign up for the arena."

Considering the excessive number of participants and spectators, two venues were set up for the 'Grand Tournament', one is the Royal Arena located in the city, and the other is a ring built on the outskirts of the city for the 'Great Tournament'.

Tickets are required to watch the royal arena, but the arena in the suburbs can be entered and exited at will, and there are many temporary stalls set up by vendors around the arena for entertainment and eating.

Compared with the royal arena, the level of the suburban arena may be a little lower, but because of this, many people go to the suburban arena to compete.

Because the two venues have the same number of places to advance to the finals, the same ten.

The Royal Colosseum might attract more attention from the upper class, but wouldn't it be the same if it could make it to the finals?

Therefore, non-governmental contestants prefer suburban arenas rather than royal arenas.

The 'Great Martial Arts Contest' can be registered in advance, or you can go to the venue to register within two days after the official start. Now, Zhong Ye and Lilian are on their way to the Royal Arena.

On the way, Lilian couldn't help but look sideways at Zhong Ye, and found that he had a calm demeanor, he didn't seem to be deceiving, and with Zhong Ye's 'wu crazy' character, it seemed that he could really do such a thing.

After ten days of warm-up, the 'Great Contest' finally started. During the period, there are many job opportunities. Even the poorest families, as long as they don't eat and work, can earn enough money to survive the winter safely before the celebration ends.

So, as far as the eye can see, everyone on the street is smiling.

Not only the aborigines, but also many players chose to participate. Before Zhong Ye left the Adventurer's House, he had seen many people post screenshots of the 'Participation Certificate' on the game forum.

Other players in the Gaul Kingdom who couldn't catch up couldn't help but sigh. Even through the screenshots, they can see how lively Paris is now, and compare the situation they are in, how sad it is.

When Zhong Ye came to the Royal Arena, the city was already overflowing with festivities, and the streets were empty for thousands of people.

Except for some laborers, many people put down their jobs and joined the lively celebration.

Standing in front of the entrance of the Royal Colosseum, Zhong Ye looked up at this ancient building that had been smeared with wind and frost by history, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Lilian was also shocked for a moment, but she is a 'modern person' after all, and she has seen many more magnificent buildings than this one, and she has no artistic talent, so she can't appreciate it at all.

So when she turned her head and saw that Zhong Ye was still in a daze, she couldn't help snickering in her heart, she didn't expect Zhong Ye to have such an ignorant side.

"Teacher, let's go, we should go in." Lilian poked Zhong Ye's arm and urged.

Zhong Ye looked down at her and took a deep breath. At this moment, a gentle voice came from the side: "Your Excellency Zhong Ye."

Lilian looked over suspiciously, and found that the voice was a middle-aged woman in a white robe. This lady had soft features and a tall figure. Even standing beside Zhong Ye, she looked only half a head shorter than him.

'Does she know Zhong Ye? A doubt flashed through Lilian's heart.

When Zhong Ye saw this lady, he laughed and bowed to salute, "Ms. Pereira."

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

Lilian blinked her eyes, why does this sound weird?

Zhong Ye was just going to compete with other contestants in martial arts, and if he really wanted to marry the fourth princess, what preparations did he have to make?

"Then let's go." Mrs. Pereira smiled slightly, and extended her hand to Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye also reached out to hold Mrs. Pereira's hand, then looked back at Lilian, untied the purse and threw it over, exhorting, "Be careful."

Lilian hurriedly caught the purse, and in the blink of an eye, the figures of Zhong Ye and Mrs. Pereira disappeared before her eyes.

"……Um?"

Lilian was stunned for a while, and didn't realize what happened until the barrage in front of her was refreshed explosively.

"Um???"

Lilian subconsciously looked left and right, looking for Zhong Ye and Mrs. Pereira, but she didn't find them.

"teacher?"

Lilian yelled, attracting everyone's attention, but she didn't pay attention, and continued to shout: "Teacher——!"

——[Why did Zhong Ye suddenly disappear?Is this running away? 】

——[It just looked like the effect of 'teleportation'? 】

——[That is to use teleportation to escape? 】

——【Lilian, look at your task list to see if the 'Battle of the Gods' has been activated! 】

After being reminded by the audience, Lilian reacted and hurriedly opened the system panel. After entering the task list, she was horrified to find that the task title at the top had already emitted light.

——[God Killing Battle] has been activated!
…………

Except for Mrs. Pereira, the other scenes in front of me suddenly bloomed, like a kaleidoscope, but it was different from the magnificent colors in the kaleidoscope, and the changing scene of things was more terrifying, weird and disgusting.

The next moment, the figures of Zhong Ye and Mrs. Pereira appeared under a black tower.

Zhong Ye frowned tightly before he could hold back the thought of vomiting.

It was not because of a physical reaction, but because of a psychological reaction that he wanted to vomit. This was the first time in his life.

After Zhong Ye and Mrs. Pereira appeared under the tower, there were also two rays of light flashing where they couldn't see. Just like them, a group of two, a total of four people came around the black tower.

"Fortunately, the Kingdom's Mage Academy is located on the outskirts of the city." Mrs. Pereira chuckled, "It's also fortunate that His Majesty is willing to let the fourth princess get her wish."

Zhong Ye glanced left and right, "Have everyone evacuated here?"

"No."

While talking with Zhong Ye, Mrs. Pereira raised her hands high, echoing with the other two directions, and cast the spell together.

"We just used the 'big contest' to attract most people, and we can't do anything about the rest. After all, we can't startle the snake."

The curtain came down—the three legendary spellcasters at the bottom of the tower used themselves as nodes to pull down the background curtain of the [God Killing War].

A huge curtain shrouded the black tower, isolating the inside and outside.

After the hilarity that floated from a distance hit the curtain, it slid to the sides, and any movement within the curtain could only echo inside and could not spread.

The moment the curtain fell, the consciousness of the mage sitting in the room at the top of the black tower returned to his body.

He turned his head to look out the window, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you will start to act after the 'Great Contest' is over?"

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to the ground and 'saw' those six people.

"Four legends, plus two superhumans who are close to legends, heh, you really think highly of me..."

The moment they started to attack the Black Tower, the mage laughed: "Then I have to respond to your expectations!"

The voice fell, and the black tower 'woke up'.

Countless magic traps and barriers unfolded instantly, and the golem sleeping in the warehouse came out, and the armor and swords that were originally just decorations were activated, and the rich energy radiated outwards driven by the soul. The spells in the soul form one after another 'spirits of mystery'.

Zhong Ye and the others raised their heads, as if they saw the legendary mage sitting on the 'throne'.

— 'False God' Adrian!
