Book 5: Chapter 66: Towers Galore

Scarlet

The other competitors go by just as quickly as the first ones did, with the human competitors doing better on average than the demon ones. Which isnt really saying all that much since the demon competitors outnumber the humans by a significant number. Not to mention that only around half of the remaining humans did better than the demons, likely having played tower defense games themselves.

Eventually it reaches the top rankers, beginning with the lowest ranked Knight, Purple.

And she does terrifyingly well. She does better than Anthony, and I cant help but reevaluate her because of it.

Is she a gamer and I never knew about it? Or did she just cheat with her divination?

Either way, she still loses out to Aria by about twenty seconds, even if she dethroned Anthony for second place.

Then after Purple is Black, who does just a little worse than Anthony. Still far better than the other demons and humans, but not good enough for the top three.

Next up is Red. And Red Ill just move on.

After Red is Blue, who does okay. Not top three though. A bit worse than Anthony.

Didnt realize he was such a good tactician. Since I would be shocked if he actually played video games.

When I entered his tower before he didnt even have electricity, much less video games.

After Blue is Vorgrim. Who does even worse than Red, which is saying something.

Two peas in a pod.

Although if either of them ever heard me saying that Im pretty sure theyd try to pick a fight.

Next up is Xyvandra, who does better than Red, Vorgrim, and Black, but worse than Blue.

Then Amelia goes. And I would be disappointed if she does badly, considering how many games Ive played with her by now. Even if most of those games were me dragging her around since she insisted on playing with me.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Also, I think after the tenth competition would be a good time to finally deal with that last issue on Tartarus. Or issues, I guess.

I still need to wipe out the curses completely. Since, while I cleared the Sins curse from the demons alive on Tartarus right now, newborns are apparently still being born with the curse. Newborns I need to clear of the curse.

So to fully erase the curse, I need to use Bane of Corruption on a ritual scale.

Then theres the technology curse as well. Which I never actually figured out how to remove, since I dont have anything directly linked to the curse like the demons were.

Maybe if I search into the planet itself? Or something belonging to the Emperor who cast the curse?

Actually, maybe Gramps himself?

Guess I could just ask Gramps about it. He would know more about it than I could likely figure out on my own.

And it would certainly make things simpler, thats for sure.

My attention returns to Amelias tower when some of the other demons begin sending a bunch of Class III equivalent breeders at her tower while surrounded by other weaker void creatures.

Hmm. One other issue with this competition that leaves the higher ranking competitors at a disadvantage.

The demons, who know nothing about this sort of game, learn from the previous competitors how to attack the towers. Which makes things harder.

Part of Arias success is also because she went so early one. Before the demons could figure anything out.

I continue watching Amelias tower while also sending my own void creatures at it all the way till the tower finally falls, leaving her beating Anthony and taking his place at third, but still losing to Purple. Something that still surprises me.

And next up after Amelia is Leonidas.

Time to see how that old man will do.

I cant help but grin from the anticipation.

Thisll be interesting.
