Chapter 212: Chapter 212:Battle Royale [2]
Turning away from the drone hovering a bit above us, I watched Jin pick up the last few items before departing from the tower.
Glancing at the map that displays Han's location from the time I used the compass, I sighed.
Clearly, he had run into some trouble on the way here, but as I could see earlier, the normal students weren't causing any trouble.
All of them simply went to the center of the magic space to meet up with the alliance without bothering to do anything else.
I'm a hater or a doubter of Han's power... but if he ran into some trouble, he would probably already have been eliminated.
Yet, as I could see from the map, Han was still in the game.
That left just one possibility.
The main cast had gotten to Han before I did.
They woudln't eliminate him as he wasn't a threat to them, and they also were some of the few people not heading the center.
With Jin by my side, I gestured to the map before saying.
"Han's over here."
Nodding his head, Jin sped up his pace after glancing at the map, prompting me to speed up as well.
Jin and the old "Ren" had probably participated in battle royales together in what would be called middle school on Earth, so he probably knew what a compass item was.
Crossing through the forest, I dashed forward, following after Jin, who had a movement skill that allowed me to double jump.
He could quite literally jump on the air and boost himself forward without losing any balance.
Hm?
Staring upward, I noticed that the drone, which I assumed belonged to my Knight Order or Charlotte, was still following us.
Doesn't she have other people she needs to follow and recruit?
Pausing for a moment, I glanced at the forest ahead and peered through the branches, seeing a desert.
To arrive at Han's current location, we would need to cross a lot of obstacles present in the desert and forest ahead.... unless.
Waiting a moment, I screamed out to Jin, who was ahead of me since I had stopped.
"WAIT A MOMENT!"
Pausing, Jin turned back before staring at me with a confused expression.
Gesturing for him to come toward me, I pointed at the drone that was hovering right above the forest.
Seeing the drone, Jin crossed his hands before responding.
"yeah, yeah, congrats, Ren, you're popular with the recruiters."
Shaking my head, I replied.
"no, no, not that."
Watching the drone simply levitate above us, I smiled before gesturing for Jin to follow me.
Climbing a nearby tree trunk, I stood on one of the branches, and before the drone could react, I jumped forward.
Stopping myself from free-falling, I gripped onto the bottom of the drone, causing it to slightly lose its balance.
The next second, Jin followed. As he was about to free-fall through the air, I grasped his hand, adding further pressure to the drone.
Looking at the camera that was at the front of the drone, holding us up from following, I smiled and said.
"One taxi ride to here!"
Barely staying in the air, the drone simply stared at the map for a solid minute before finally looking away.
Keeping my hopes alive, the drone slowly floated away before quickly gaining pace, dragging Jin and me along with it.
Looking downward at the forest as we flew over, I said to Jin.
"See, now, isn't this much better."
Loosening his grip on my hand, Jin seemed to not notice my words as he stared down at the forest in awe.
Ah, this is his first time flying, isn't it?
I was like that once...
Shaking my head, I watched as the scenery below quickly transformed from forest to desert, and the drone began to gain pace.
Although we weren't traveling much faster than simply running, it was still much nicer and more energy-efficient!
As the air blew back my hair, I alternated gazes between my map and the scenery below me, confirming we were in the correct location.
Looking up at the drone, I said.
"Look around here for a bit."
Obeying my instructions, the drone lowered its height, hovering right above the swamp-like environment we were currently in.
Gripping the rails below the drone even harder, I pulled Jin up to my height before saying.
"Hold onto this."
As Jin let go out of my hand and gripped the rails, I pulled myself upward before catching my balance on top of the drone.
Standing on top of the drone, I peered downward through the entire swamp-like area, looking for any sign of Han.
Fortunately, I didn't just find a sign of Han... but I found him.
"That's not the main cast..."
With three people, seemingly normal students, facing him, Han was helpless as he was tied against a tree, unable to move.
Not wasting a single second, I grabbed Jin's hand before combining the Dragon's Inferno with the corruption inside my body.
A second later, a large wing sprouted from my right shoulder, in complete contrast to the vibrant colors around us.
Flapping my pitch-black and blood-red wing, I didn't wait for Jin's reaction, immediately disappearing from the top of the drone and ten meters forward.
*FLAP*
*FLAP*
Reaching Han, I floated above the three students for a second before immediately flapping my wing.
Disappearing from the air, I appeared on the ground, with Jin on the ground next to me.
Manifesting two corrupted daggers, I silently walked up to two of the students.
*SLASH*
*SLASH*
The next moment, the bodies of the two students disintegrated into thousands of pieces before disappearing.
Dashing forward, I watched the last student's face transform from happy to horror before also taking him out.
*SLASH*
Jin, regaining his standing on the ground, stared at the disappearing student's bodies in silence.
Meanwhile, I walked over the tree and cut the ropes binding Han to the tree before helping him up.
