Chapter 17: Lilildam 6

After a few minutes Stefan and Marina took everyone's attention once again. After all, the second stage was about to start.

"Congratulations to all who have passed the first stage, but now it's time for the second stage "hide and seek." After a small pause in order to make things more dramatic Marina started to explain the second stage.

"There are exactly 100 gold coins hidden in the whole city you will have 2 hours to get one and bring it here and only then will you pass the next stage, it does not matter what method you use and it does not matter if you find 1 or all 100, as long as you manage to get it here." With her words everyone understood. It does not matter whether they killed the other contestants or snatched their things as long as they could bring at least one gold coin back they could pass and participate in the 3rd stage.

The gold coins had special design on them and even a special pink stone was embedded in each one.

As everyone was thinking about their next move Stefan voiced another piece of information.

"In order to prevent someone from taking all 100 golden coins we decided to form groups.

Each group must have no more or less than 5 people making a total of 60 groups, the members of the same group are not permitted to harm one another or you will all be disqualified. So, each group needs at least 5 golden coins to pass, but even if you don't have all five you can choose not to give any of them to the others." Stefan's words once again brought everyone to fall into their own thoughts, unfortunately one great ancestor could not be bothered with these mortal things so she just continued to eat her snacks and be a pampered little bun while sitting comfortably in Samael's arms.

The groups were allocated randomly, but somehow both Morana and Samael ended up in the same group surprising everyone while annoying those who were not happy with Morana.

'Hmm this all must be because I can put points in my luck now.' Thought Morana smugly only to be poured cold water the next second.

[Master your pitiful amount of luck points is like a drop in the sea.]

'Then how do you explain it?' She asked unhappily.

[well your luck is so bad that it affects others close to you, so you just implicated Samael with your bad luck and gave him a burden as for the other three they either have the worst luck to be in the same group as you or best luck to be in the same group as him.] System didn't hold back at all. He knew this was Morana's weak point and decided to get a little revenge for all his sufferings so far.

Too bad he was still green in these matters.

'Hmm. Is that so?' Even though her voice was calm the system could hear faint threat in it. He didn't dare act rashly, so he could only flatter this last boss.

[Haha. Jolly is just joking master, it's their good luck accumulated after thousands of lifetimes, that they get to be in the same group as you.] after 30 minutes of well-practiced flattery Jolly finally managed to escape Morana's clutches.

The first person in the same group as Samael and Morana was a tall man with the mask called Francis. He had dark purple hair, it reached to his shoulders. In the mask could be seen his brown, dull eyes. He didn't talk at all after saying his name and just stood next to them, waiting for the beginning of the next stage.

The second member of the group was a robust man that looked like a bodybuilder called Jake he had short blond hair and dark orange eyes. He gave off the kind big brother vibe and also quietly stood there after introducing himself with a smile.

He was quite handsome, unfortunately he stood next to Morana and Samael and even though they wore masks that covered half of their faces as well he looked completely ordinary.

And lastly there was a sexy woman with long black hair and Orange eyes named Anna. She looked a lot like Jake and truly they turned out to be siblings.

Surprisingly Anna was the older sibling she was 25 while Jake was 23. Anna also kindly smiled at them when introducing herself and when she looked at Morana her eyes had an unknown glow in them.

Even though she could not see, after practicing the special cultivation for seer to 60% perfection Morana's senses became extraordinary.

So, she could feel Anna's excessive stare, but it didn't make her uncomfortable, one she was used to stares and two she didn't feel anything malicious in her gaze.

Well, even though she didn't mind Samael didn't think the same as his bro(sis) con side got activated and he glanced coldly at Anna.

This made her shiver and she had to reluctantly remove her gaze from Morana.

After seeing the situation Jake decided to mediate.

"Don't get her wrong, she just really likes kids and this little doll is pretty cute, she might look like a pervert, which she is, but she is not malicious." This explanation earned him a good kick and a harsh glare from Anna and Samael.

Sensing that he was at a disadvantage, he just decided to stay quiet.

Since the other three introduced themselves Morana decided to do the same.

"I am Rana this is my big brother Samael." Her sweet voice instantly draw attention from Anna as she stared unblinkingly.

"Awwwww" Was the only thing she managed to say before blood started dripping from her nose and she passed out. Fortunately, Jake managed to catch her before she hit the ground.

She managed to wake up after a few minutes with a scream that draws everyone's attention.

"CCCuteeeeeeeeee." Ana screamed as she jumped right from Jake's arms and tried to hug Morana only to be kicked away by Samael.

This incident passed quickly and finally with a loud gong as a signal, a second stage of the competition started.

All the contestants rushed quickly only a few groups unhurriedly leaving the arena. Most noticeable being Morana as she once again decided to fall asleep in Samael's arms while receiving his helpless but pampering gaze.
