The armoured giants were quick witted this time and had used improved weapons and durable armours. Yet everyone was well versed with their merits and weak points.
I also contributed by putting scratches on skin, poisoning the sword or dagger and peirceing to the skin.
This all was becoming normal to me soon enough, nightmares were also giving me painful experience. The soon to be completed trial was yet far as the giants were not coming anymore.
We saw that the armoured giants were not longer attacking us but instead were subdued by us, yet we didn't accomplished anything.
I said, "It must be our turn to go ahead, let me move forward first to judge the situation and more."
Everyone except who knew me thought that I was an easy bait, the mile away castle was still far and it took me 2 hour walk.
I didn't have much stamina, what do you expect me to be, I am not an olympics athelete. Only a normal school kid, my body was still not used to the new daily routine.
Guess I need to exercise the special power up course famous among the world of,
100 push ups
100 squats
10 km run
Do you know it?
I knocked at the gate and the very first giant we saw was their, he said,"Took you long enough to keep me waiting like this, I am the last person to come."
"I won't come out from my bed, until I fight only the selected ones and give them my treasure if they win. Bring me maximum 5 people." he said.
The words were a thunderclap to me, as a giant using a castle as his bed. Now was the time to discuss it without any fussing over and take my 2 reliable people with me as he didn't gave minimum number requirement.
The quest came!? Why?
[Sub-Quest: Prove your worth for giant's treasure.]
An arena was set and I was immediately summoned their. This had now become a competition. No one wants to hinder their growth at any cost.
No explanation can come whatsoever, I saw people from different trials too, the trial had been merged into one and the areana begins.
The arena selected the top 24 people who had contributed so far. Atleast half people were only visible from another trials and it means that they were killed by one another.
A green message came to me,
[Due to great contribution to your team, you have received special permit to enter the battle. Hence only 4 people will be selected from this arena]
This message was nothing more than a heart shock to me, I was placed in a top position chair of the arena. A green light arrow pointing at me showing [Highest Contribution].
The eyes of people who goes for fairness says that a fight for that seat should be issued. The common thing is bound to happen as all wants opportunity.
This time the longer the fight lasts, less the time we have to conquer the castle. I wonder how will it go?
