In the end the four of them examined the state of the city and saw where the rare artifacts they had felt before came from. When they reached the crowd, there was a line filled with people with strong and unusual abilities. Out of curiosity, they asked someone in the crowd.
"Excuse me, what's with this crowd?" ares asked one of the people who were crowding there.
"Oh, are you outsiders? This is an event every year and is followed by many talented people. They conducted this battle competition by expecting the winning prize of an artifact. Although it does not specify the artifact, but it can be ascertained that every year will give a rare artifact as a winner's prize" said the person responding to Ares's question.
"Are outsiders also able to participate?" ask Mort to the guy again.
"Of course, even many outsiders came here just to register and enter this competition."
Then Ella stopped her appearance and Ravel went to the line to sign up. So did Ares who wanted to participate because he was bored. Mort was also not less enthusiastic because he wanted to try his abilities after all this time sealed.
After registering, they saw who would be their opponent. Because there are some people who are quite famous for having participated in this competition before and even got nicknames from the audience. At the start of the match, the three of them would fight all of the strongest participants who had entered this competition before.
"Isn't this too shit? How can we go directly against a strong person? Wouldn't it be boring in the end?" ares said he felt that the competition was starting to be unattractive.
"It seems that because we're outsiders and we're the first to follow this, so it's intent on getting eliminated faster and letting the previous participants go easy." mort used mind-reading magic and heard the thoughts of everyone in the crowd.
"Well, looks like they picked the wrong opponent huh? Especially the one that will fight Ares." Ravel replied feeling that the fight would be fun.
"Hihi, I feel a little sorry to see the three of them being your opponents" Ella told Ravel with a thought.
"Are you guys signing up?" asked a black-robed, hooded person who clearly heard the voice of a woman.
"Right, we signed up for the prize" Mort replied without turning to the man.
"You better not be merciful, because if you don't try to kill the opponent then you will be killed the opponent" he told and left.
"What did he mean just now?" ravel asked feeling that the woman was warning of something serious.
"It looks like we still have to be alert to the surroundings" Mort told Ravel to always be vigilant.
Then someone walked through them with murder at every step. He carried a sword filled with mana around him.
"Mort, do you feel it?" ravel asked realizing that it also belonged to the artifact.
"Yes, it feels so strong. It seems like he will be a fierce opponent for you. You might even lose because he has the sword." said Mort, feeling that passers-by would make Ravel difficult against him.
"You see, because I have a secret weapon" he replied confidently.
