There were so many warriors in the viewing area, and an unending flow of warriors came over from afar as well. Fane trusted in the allure of the slaughter gambit. There would always be those that are not afraid to die, feeling like they would be able to be the final victor.
Not only would they get a bronze medal, but they would also get an amazing treasure and the admiration of the crowd! Yet, they were struggling to find the last person to register. Fane sighed helplessly, not knowing how long he would need to wait.
As Fane said, there was finally some movement on that massive scroll. The last name appeared. It was another warrior from the Chaos Continent!
That person was called Marko. He looked incredibly average. He was dressed somewhat well. At least, his clothes were worth several times more than Fanes.
When the person entered, the nine participants all sighed in relief.
Someone was finally there. They did not need to waste any more time. After Marko entered the waiting area, the ten participants were finally all gathered. The caretaker, who had been hidden the whole time, arrived in front of the array.
He wore a skeleton mask, as usual, not allowing anyone to see his actual looks. He announced in a cold tone, "The fifty-third slaughter gambit shall begin! The odds will be announced immediately. The same rules apply. One person is only allowed to bet on one participant! The bets are limited to half a million to two million spirit
crystals!"
After saying that, the caretaker pointed at the massive scroll. A golden light shot out of the caretaker's finger, piercing into the scroll. The scroll started to glow golden.
Behind everyone’s name, the odds appeared. At that moment, even the participants stood up to look at the scroll with widened eyes.
Quite a few of them started to read out the odds, "Chris from White Marsh Continent, one to one point seven, Edward from Chaos Continent, one to two point nine, David from Chaos Continent, one to three point five..."
