157 Sacred Event Day 2 (part 1)

Challengers returned to the waiting room, all bloody. Most of the vital fluid on them wasn't theirs though.

Sam's team had lost two members, bringing his team down to six challengers. Lucius and Aito's team had lost none.

'No wonder he made it this far,' Aito thought, looking at Lucius. 'He and his team probably already cleared the sixth floor's quest but were waiting for the right moment to go up. I wonder how the orcs captured them.'

At that moment, dozens of heavily armed adult orcs entered the room, followed by a limping Krugan.

The huge orc looked at the challengers, then said. "Congratulations on your victory humans."

None apart Aito understood the content. That didn't seem to bother the orc one bit.

Like all challengers in the room, Lucius eyed the orc wearily. Suddenly, Zephyr shot an arrow in direction of the orc leader. Orc soldiers instantly reacted, activating durability, blocking the projectile with their tower shields.
