Chapter 104: Humans Proficient in Mythology "The devil is in the audience."...

Just as they were talking about demons with problematic thoughts, Avida heard the host introducing one of today's special judges, Baal, the Thunder King.

The strawberry popping beads in the drink exploded as the teeth bit, and the overly sweet syrup gave the hero a bad sixth sense.

There was no way an atavistic demon would suddenly appear and devour the human being, right? Aveda consoled herself with the thought that such an outrageous situation would not occur.

The brave man felt that this was all to blame on the Baal Hobby Group's so-called atavistic villain alliance, which made him feel that it was a sign of bad luck whenever he appeared.

There are indeed signs of misfortune in the demonic world, such as seeing a black cat jumping sideways when you are unlucky.

On the morning that Kaluyegg was summoned by Iruma as a familiar, bad omens had been occurring.

"I feel like today's game will be very interesting."

Iveda, who had just convinced herself, turned around and heard Hua Lieke, who was in disguise, talking nonsense.

Usually when he finds something funny, it's not a good thing.

So Aveda started adding coffee powder to her drink cup. She wanted to be fully focused!

For the second competition, each college team can only participate with members who have not been eliminated in the first competition.

The second event, to put it simply, requires each team to occupy more territory in the enclosed competition venue within the same specified time.

The team whose flags occupy the largest total area at the end is the winner and will get the highest score in this round.

"It's not forbidden to pull out the other team's flags," Hua Lieke, a territorial expansionist in real life, said with anticipation as he unwrapped a new box of cake. "It's going to be a game full of competition and conspiracy."

He also felt it was a pity. If the organizers had not banned the contestants from attacking each other in this round, the game would have been filled with blood.

Avida, who got half of Hua Lieke's cake, did not comment on this demon who was looking forward to a melee for the sake of dessert.

The big screen first gave a panoramic shot of the huge competition venue. After a quick glance, Avida found that although the competition was based on her framework, many parts had been modified when it was implemented. The original scenes were based on human myths and legends, but after some deletions and modifications, many local elements of the demon world were added.

Although the rules of the second competition sound simple, in fact, the prerequisite for inserting the flag is to find the flag-planting points in each area. Flags planted outside these points will be considered invalid.

The venue is unfamiliar and dangerous to all contestants. There are seven areas in total, each with different terrain and different guarding monsters or puppets lurking.

Even if you find a flag-planting point, you can't easily insert the flag. You must defeat or persuade these guardians.

If real demons were to play these guardians, Iruma would only need to apply the stickers given by Ivetta and have a smooth journey. Although the hero had a good idea, it was hopeless now.

"Instead of working hard to find a flag-planting point yourself, it might be easier to steal other people's achievements." Looking at the surveillance footage of a player who was exploring an unfamiliar area and almost fell into a swamp, Hua Lieke expressed his opinion.

"So we need to leave someone behind to protect us," Aveda suddenly realized. "So this is also where the advantage of numbers comes into play."

"Or, at the very beginning, you could replace the opposing team's flags with your own, creating a disguise, and then undo the magic at the very last second of the match. This way, you can give your hard-working opponents a mental blow!"

After hearing Hua Lieke's new idea, Avida wondered if she was reincarnated as a hero instead of a demon king because she wasn't vicious enough?

"At worst, you can sow discord among your opponents, causing them to lose trust within, and then win over their members to your side."

"I'm kind of regretting not putting you in the competition team." If this guy is put in, wouldn't it be a sure win? Avida now feels a little regretful. Why didn't she think of this method at the beginning?

This match was obviously more difficult than the previous one. Some guardians were even at a high level, far exceeding the strength of some of the players present.

So force is not the only way to defeat these guardians.

Inside the competition venue, Iruma stared at the stone tablet with "Zeus Mountain Range" engraved on it, feeling confused. Was it because he hadn't learned the history of the demon world? Was there actually a being in the demon world with the same name as Zeus?

Iruma was distracted for a moment and quickly put his doubt aside because time was running out for the game.

When he and Asmodeus finally found the flag-planting point, they discovered that the person guarding it was a magic puppet. Not to mention the attack power of this puppet, but the name contained "Typhon". It happened that when Iruma worked part-time in a bookstore, there was a senior who especially liked to tell him Western mythology stories during breaks.

Could it be that this puppet's weakness is lightning? Iruma half-believed and half-doubted, and discussed with Asmodeus beside him that they might as well give it a try.

The only thing related to Zeus here is the stone tablet you just saw at the entrance.

The competition rules also state that contestants can use props found in the venue.

Asmodeus rushed back, folded his wings and landed, and immediately handed Iruma the golden lightning-shaped scepter he had obtained after smashing the stone tablet.

"They actually guessed that the answer to the riddle is the puppet's hidden weakness." Hua Lieke found that Babirus' students were quite smart.

"!" Iveda said, why set up a program for the puppet to make it make an incomprehensible self-introduction when it appears.

It turns out that complicated introduction was giving the contestants a chance to win.

Originally, Avida thought that the easy-point questions she had set were hopeless, after all, they had been changed a lot.

Unexpectedly, it was retained by accident.

As of now, Iruma's team has already inserted two flags, making it the team with the most successfully inserted flags among the three teams.

"Keep up this momentum, go for it!"

"We must be more careful when we have the advantage to prevent our achievements from being destroyed by other teams." As soon as Hua Lieke finished speaking, the flag of Babirus' team was discovered by a member of the Jakapo Academy team.

“…”

Sometimes, Avida really wanted to pinch the mouth of the devil next to her.

"Oh, the other side has one more person, the situation is very dangerous."

"That's why the flag should be poisoned! Anyone who steals someone else's flag without permission should be poisoned!"

"Multiple insurances are a safer option. We can also set up traps nearby. Magic that disrupts cognition is best used here, ideally to incapacitate the opposing team."

"I now feel that the path you have chosen is indeed suitable for you." The brave man thought it would be better not to let the devil with many ideas become the devil king, so as not to increase the difficulty of his own mission.
