This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"The contestants are now in their positions. The second event is officially about to begin. Now let me explain the detailed rules. Please enter the entrance of your choice and reach the exit with the corresponding mark. There are four colors of marks: red, yellow, blue, and green. If the color mark at the exit does not match the color mark at the entrance, you will not be able to pass the level. If the exit has the same color but has been used by the previous contestant, you will also not be able to pass the level. Please pay attention to the color of the mark you have and look for the corresponding clues on the path to your destination."

"……" As soon as you enter the entrance, you can see the red label on the table. Jie Si picked it up and put it in his pocket.

Whether or not you can win is not the point. What is important is whether you can kill more enemies and reach the third stage and fight against truly powerful people. This is what a warrior does.

"...It's so cold, it seems I have entered a boring entrance."

While constantly searching for enemies on the road, Jie Si vaguely saw a red arrow placed on the edge of the corner, but he ignored it and instead looked for marks of other colors in an attempt to find other people.

"In the way-"

"——Houga?!" Jie Si pulled out a knife from the scabbard and shot through the puppet's head. He stepped on the corpse with one foot and pulled out the knife with the other hand. Facing two puppets coming from the front, he walked to another aisle without even looking at them, hoping to lure some contestants and then let the puppets attack them.

"Wow..."

"Hmm... what a scream... is it over there?" Hearing the scream, Jie Si pulled out another dagger snatched from the contestant, and walked to the corner with all preparations, but the corpse in front of him had stopped moving, and the handle of a pistol was stuck in his head.

"…Are there any other contestants…I thought I was the only one who could kill people, not bad…Hmm…"

The handle of the pistol? Where is the pistol? The handle is specially shortened... sharpened at the front and back... and tied with a belt in the middle to prevent it from falling off during the thrust... Will any of the contestants do that?

Jie Si, who was a little concerned, obtained a little information from the corpse. Then he heard another scream. He walked forward and killed a few puppets. After retrieving his weapons, he saw another corpse lying on the ground. The head was also damaged and the flesh was still being devoured by the puppets.

"...I really thought too much..."

He turned his head away, ignoring the corpse, and kicked away the puppet on the left.

"Snap!" He pierced its head with a knife and pushed it backwards, then threw a dagger at the same moment it moved forward.

"Smack!" The second puppet fell to the ground after its head was pierced by the blade. Then, Jie Si saw a human corpse with a shortened pistol sticking out of its head.

"..."

Something was wrong. At the beginning, Jie Si thought that the runaway contestants were killing each other, but the guy just now, this guy, and the guy at the beginning were all good friends who only thought about their teammates. Would guys like that really abandon their own people and run away? Even if they were attacked by so many puppets, they should be able to repel a few with the weapons in their hands, but there were only two or three puppets killed on the way, and most of them were killed by Jie Si. If this was not an accident but someone else's...

"..." With his alertness high, Jie Si watched the shoe prints on the floor and slowly moved forward. When he came to a crossroads, he found three more bodies of contestants. The first one was killed on the spot by having his head smashed by a two-handed sword, the second one was pierced through the forehead by a knife, and the third one was caught and eaten by a puppet.

Spears... these two people remembered to bring them before entering the arena... internal conflict? No, judging from the direction of the two bodies falling, they should have been facing the same person at the same time, but one of them was hit in the head by a two-handed sword before he could attack, which shows that the opponent has the corresponding throwing skills, and the second person thought that the opponent had lost his weapon and stabbed, but was killed in the counterattack and stabbed in the head by a knife, which shows that the opponent is not only good at long-range attacks but also good at dealing with close-range enemies. Judging from the last body that was hit in the side instead of the head, it can be seen that his behavior is simply unscrupulous to the extreme, and his personality must be extremely twisted.

Good at throwing. Good at close combat. Know how to choose opponents. Know how to use various weapons. There is no one among the contestants who meets all these conditions.

"Are you here... hehe... hehe hahahaha... Aojun, sorry, I got there first..." Jie Si was so excited that he quickly took a step to catch up with his opponent, as if he was a child crossing the maze to chase the goal in front of him. The best evidence was that he kept seeing contestants being killed on the road. They were all killed by one person and were treated like garbage in such a short period of time - there would never be another opponent like that, and he had to do his best to find him.

"!" At the same time, Jie Si saw a dark figure at the last corner. He killed three people with his perfect throwing technique, dodged the attack of the last person, and threw a dagger to hit the opponent's head.

It was so beautiful, with flawless movements and a heartless killing mentality, as if he had given up everything just to achieve the goal of fighting. It deeply touched the thrill in Jiesi's heart as a warrior that had never been touched.

Only this person can do it, it has to be him. Jie Si has been imagining how he will be defeated, to what kind of person he will lose, and in what posture he will fall, but all his efforts have been in vain and turned into fantasies.

However, just by looking at that man's back, the death and fear that he had never been able to imagine immediately flooded into his mind and could not be shaken off. Now, Jie Si really could not imagine that he would be killed by someone other than him.

There are enough weapons and the killer weapon has not been used yet.

Come on, hunt me with all your might, black warrior.

I, Jiesi, have lived until now just to fight with a strong warrior like you.

“Oh my!!!”

"!" "Swoosh, clang!" Jie Si, who threw the throwing knife, launched an attack accompanied by a shout. The black shadow who tried to dodge the knife glared at the opponent with murderous eyes. A fierce battle was about to begin.

Time goes back to a period before the shadow took action...

He entered the arena and launched an invasion from the secret door used to deal with corpses. The puppets wandering aimlessly on the road were staring at him like a group of hungry beasts, but the shadow had no reason to fight them directly. Instead, he wanted to use them as bait to kill the others...

"Uh...you...you are..."

"!" "Swoosh, snap!" For some reason, John, who reflexively threw a short stick when he saw a human being from the second corner, hit the contestant's head with a move without any killing intention. He glanced sideways and saw another person who was about to deal with other puppets, but was devoured by the puppets because his companions could not support him.

There was no ups and downs in his heart, no empathy, and his consciousness seemed to be gradually replaced by another cruel shadow of himself.

He quickly turned the corner and threw the pistol at a human who was trying to escape. The sharp spear head approached the other person's eyes at an extremely fast speed.

“Guga?!” “…”

"Crack!" The broken skull oozes blood plasma and brain matter. He picked up the two-handed sword that fell from the opponent's hand and walked towards the intersection in front. He found that there were more people there dealing with the black shadow of the puppet. They soon discovered its existence, but even so, there were only two opponents at most who could free up their hands, and it was difficult enough to deal with the other one just because of the puppet.

"This guy... is holding Tid's two-handed sword! Where did he come from?!"

"Kill him! What are you waiting for!"

"..." Two men holding spears took a step forward with murderous intent.

"Swoosh, snap!" The black shadow who killed one of the men with a two-handed sword stretched out his hand to face the spear swung by the second gunman, and clasped the stick tightly with the strength of his wrist and forearm, and followed this posture to wrap the spear around the arc of his waist.

"Snap!" By the time the opponent realized that his only weapon had been taken away, the dagger in the black shadow's hand had already pierced his eyes, and after he fell down - whoosh!

"Woo ga?!"

"Snap!" John threw the spear and accurately hit the side of the contestant who was still fighting the puppet. His consciousness became weak in an instant and he fell to the ground and was attacked by three puppets. The result could be known without paying special attention.

The cruel methods of killing and self-protection kept appearing in his mind. The images and thoughts that stimulated his conscience made him gradually realize that his essence was the same as that of human beings - selfish.

"Ugh?!"

"Ah?!" It doesn't matter how many people are on the road, what the structure is like, or how dangerous it is.

The problem can be solved by killing them all. This is what he does, this is his choice, and this is his destiny.

“Don’t… stop—”

Kill everyone who stands in your way.

"Please... I... I don't want to die yet—"

Abandon human emotions.

"Save me...save me——"

Annihilate them, sympathy is unnecessary.

“Guga… ah?!”

- Move forward, keep moving forward until all the enemies in front of you are dead - will this all end...

"Uh-ohhhhhh!!!"

"..."

Facing the blade that was stabbing towards him, the black shadow remained unmoved and slapped the blade away with one hand, chopped the machete vertically into the enemy's head, pulled it out, turned around and threw it out.

"Snap!" The contestant who was hit on the head by the blade while jumping and running was killed on the spot. The black shadow pulled out a throwing knife from his waist and threw three knives in three directions in an instant.

"Crack, crack, crack!" Three demi-humans whose dynamic vision could not keep up with that speed died instantly. The black shadow with a dagger pulled out easily deflected the long sword swung by the fourth enemy, kicked him against the wall, and threw the dagger along with the movement.

"Snap!" The opponent's life was taken away.

“…Ha…ah…haah…”

Bloody corpses covered the ground.

There was blood everywhere in his eyes.

Is this the scene I must see?

Is this the sin that I must face?

There is no turning back, this is the only way, so can you easily take someone else's life?
