Chapter 48: Domino 4

"Voting closed, participant Norman your points have gone negative, you were unable to defend against the enemy's attack, you lost the game." And Just as Martha's words fell, a red light shot from above Norman's head, shattering his mana core and killing him before he understood what happened.

While Norman out of jealousy voted for Taner he forgot that others could also vote for him. This accident made the other two understand just how unsafe they were and they became paranoid.

After this voting, Morana had 105 points while Taner who voted for Jia and got voted for by Norman fell back to having 50 points leaving Jia in the last place with 25 points.

The next game was started by Morana and even though because of her luck her hand wasn't great she still managed to not only score points but even block the other two from gaining any points. In the end, Morana was the only one who scored anything and if we add up the points she got from the other two's hands she had a total of 145 points.

When Taner and Jia heard the results they were still distracted by Norman's death but at that moment they knew they screwed up and both simultaneously looked at Morana.

Seeing her smiling face, they couldn't help but shiver finally understanding who the real monster was in the game.

Alarm bells went on and they knew the only way to get out of this was to score points.

Unfortunately, they realized it too late.

The next game ended the same way. No matter how hard they tried they couldn't score any points. While Morana once again scored 40 points amounting to a total of 195 points.

But the next second their nightmare just became real.

"Voting closed. Participant Taner you were unable to defend against enemy attack. You lost the game." 

"No" He didn't manage to finish his words as red light fell from above, shuttering his mana core and killing him.

"No That's impossible, it hasn't been a 3rd game yet." Scream Jia at Martha's smiling face.

Jia wasn't the only one surprised, the whole audience from all 4 teams didn't know how to react.

"Aren't you getting something wrong?" Spoke Morana nonchalantly as if this situation had nothing to do with her.

Jia could only look at her with a confused face demanding an answer with her eyes but too afraid to speak.

"No one said that you needed to play 3 games before you voted for someone." Said Morana enlightening everyone once again.

"But" Jia didn't know what to say. It was true that no one said that but everyone just took it as a matter of fact.

She couldn't help falling back into her thoughts only to be dragged out of them because of Morana's cruel words.

"Ne Are you sure it's okay to be distracted now, after all, don't you have yourself to worry about?"

Looking at her pitiful number of points and then thinking about how the other two died Jia finally felt the fear of death.

The next game she desperately tried to gain points and finally, she managed to do exactly that.

First, it was 5 points then 10 points 5 again, and so on. She even managed to end the game and become the starter. 

Finally, things were looking brighter and in these two games, she managed to gain a total of 70 points making it 95 while Morana didn't gain even one point.

'Just 5 more just 5 more' was the only thing she could think of but who was Morana and in the third game tables turned once again.

Once again Jia couldn't score anything no matter how hard she tried and on the contrary to her Morana was scoring like crazy even managing to end the game and finally, it was time to vote and Jia knew exactly what was coming.

"You you had it all thought out from the start didn't you? From the beginning, we were all playing your game walking right into the trap you set. Why?" Jia muttered.

She knew her ending but she needed answers she needed to know.

"Why?"

"WHY? THERE WERE EASIER WAYS TO END THE GAME AND WIN SO WHY?" Seeing Morana's unbothered attitude she couldn't help but scream.

"Hmm. Yes, there were easier ways to end the game but you know what's the fun in that." She said with the same smile that didn't reach her eyes as she voted for Jia and before the letter could react, her mana core was shuttered and she died.

"Voting finished. Participant Jia, you were unable to defend against enemy attack. You lost the game.

Contestant Rana, you have won the game of the 3rd game arena. You will now receive your prize."

And with these words, the room started moving again returning to its previous appearance.

The moment the game ended Morana went back to her previous appearance feeling drained, if she was fighting and using her abilities this time there was no way her merge would last all this time. 

When Samael felt Morana's state he quickly appeared near her and picked her up going back to the team only to be interrupted by an annoying girl that looked just like Jia, this was Nea Jia's twin sister.

Her arrogant eyes were now filled with hatred but neither Morana nor Samael could be bothered with her.

"You killed my sister." She muttered as she once again blocked Samael's way who was already getting impatient.

"Killed her? Hahaha you sure are funny, then what's your suggestion? Should I have sacrificed myself for your good for nothing sister?" Said Morana.

"How dare you? It should be an honor for a bratty peasant like you to die for my sister's sake. You will pay for what you did." She said and got ready to attack.

Unfortunately, her attack was effortlessly blocked by Samael and instead of harming Moran, all her bones were broken because of Samael's attack.
