Chapter 1580: Turning The Tide 1
Bran and Donis did not know what Absolute Domain looked like, but they knew about the Absolute Domain. They just never encountered it once before. That was why he did not know it was the Absolute Domain. Most of them knew about it, but this was their first experience fighting someone with Absolute Domain.
"Why do you guys look so grim? I don't think Absolute Domain is great or anything. We can just drag him into our domain. That will solve the problem, no?" Vitali did not understand they were so concerned about a domain when they could counter the Absolute Domain.
Agnes shook her head and looked at Donis and Bran who were more aware of their situation, "I now really doubt our chance against Tang Shaoyang. I thought with him, there's a chance for us. But he doesn't even know anything about Absolute Domain and..." She did not finish her words and continued, "It's better to fight Tang Shaoyang another time unless you have the answer for this Absolute Domain?"
"Why don't you finish your words, woman!? And what?" If it was just four of them, the original party. Vitali would not care what Agnes said, but she said it in front of Bran and Donis. He knew she was implying that he was dumb and ignorant, and they had no chance to win against Tang Shaoyang.
"Just because I was friendly before, doesn't mean you can say anything that you want about me! With a single word from me, my clan will eradicate your faction!"
Agnes was not scared by the threat. She laughed when she heard the last part, shaking her head, "You have convinced me to give up the fight. Are you going to bring up your clan when Tang Shaoyang beat the shit out of you? Do you think he will spare your life just because you are from the Dragon Realm? He wiped out the Sorc Clan's people, he killed the people from the White Mystery, he almost wiped out the Vigamaur Dgaror's members, also one administrator, and he killed seven administrators from God's Order. Do you think he cares about your clan?"
After finishing her words, Agnes tried to surrender. Since someone disrupted the map and the vision of Tang Shaoyang. She thought the trial's system returned to normal after the Administrator sabotaged the system. She could not surrender as the option was made unavailable before.
But then her face changed after getting the return notification after she tried to give up the trial.
[You can't surrender to the Death Royal without your enemy's agreement!]
It was no longer a battle royal, but a death royal. The trial was more dangerous than the Battle Royal. As the notification said, she could not surrender unless she engaged in a fight with someone, and that someone agreed to let her surrender.
That was the condition to surrender in the Death Royal. She must be in a fight with someone, but the chance of her opponent allowing her to surrender was almost zero. If she had the advantage against her enemy, she would not let them surrender. Killing them will benefit her more as that would raise her level.
"Okay, and I think we are fucked. We think our person does not have a backer just because he is from a new world, but we are wrong. Not that he has a backer, but his backer has more influence than the actual overseer in this trial. Tang Shaoyang's backers not only got rid of our advantage but also changed the trial into a Death Royal!"
The Administrator could exploit their authority and help the participants, but they did not have the authority to change the content itself. It was the System that decided to pick Battle Royal, and the Administrator could not change it. They were here to manage the trial.
"Try to surrender, and you will know what I mean."
Confused for a moment, Bran tried to surrender. His face changed when he read the return notification. Someone was most powerful enough to know to exploit the System itself. It was taboo, but it was possible. Because if the System found out who the culprit was, the System would throw that person to the Dimensional Tower. The fact that this person went this far, meant his relationship with Tang Shaoyang was not that shallow for this person to take such a big risk.
Vitali was curious and he tried to surrender as well. He understood the trial had changed, but there was no reason for them to panic. Regardless of the trial, their goal would not change. There was no difference now and before. They could not surrender.
"What now? It does not matter whether this is a Royal Battle or Death Royal. It does not change our goal, does it? We still fight Tang Shaoyang. Are you afraid that he may have our previous exploit? Does it really matter? Even if he could see and know where we are, we still outnumber him!"
Agnes let out a sigh. She thought Vitali was arrogant because he had the strength and the knowledge to back it up. However, she realized how ignorant Vitali was. How could he not see how dire the situation they were in?
'Ah, right. He is ignorant of many things even for the Absolute Domain. What do I expect from him?'
"Tang Shaoyang does not need our exploit to know where we are. We are in his domain, and so he knew where we were the moment he activated the Absolute Domain," Ian Carmen Lorentia took the job of explaining the Absolute Domain to Vitali.
"Your solution to fight Absolute Domain will not work, never, Vitali. It's called Absolute Domain for a reason. It's Absolute, so you can't get rid of the domain with your domain. Maybe you could if you also have Absolute Domain."
"Okay, now he has the advantage, but it still does not change anything, Ian. We can still overwhelm him with numbers! We are still on top! Why are you so afraid of him? This is not the Ian that I know," Vitali truly did not understand why Ian and the others were so afraid of Tang Shaoyang.
"Oh, it changes everything, Vitali. The fact he knows where we are, that changes everything, Vitali. You say we can face him with numbers, but will he allow that when he knows where we are and our exact numbers? He knew where we were, all of us. He could ambush and kill us one by one, dwindling our numbers until he wiped us out. That's what he will do instead of fighting all of us at once."
"Also, advice as a friend. You need to broaden your knowledge about Spirit Contractor. If you read their history even just a little bit, you will know how fearful they are. Why do you think Bran and Donis tried to reduce the number of spirits first instead of facing Tang Shaoyang directly?"
