Chapter 1433: Chapter 838: The Lordâs Choice (Part 1)_2 Chapter 1433: Chapter 838: The Lordâs Choice (Part 1)_2 But after rescuing one person, the Half-Orc would choose one to eliminate from the remaining three illusions.
This undoubtedly handed the decision-making power to the opponent, making our side extremely passive, and might even disrupt the pre-established plan for the second rescue target.
Under such circumstances, Vid had no choice but to pray for the blessing of the goddess of luck, hoping that the one the opponent would take out first wouldnât be particularly important to the overall situation.
Thinking about it, Vidâs brow furrowed, and if it were up to him, he would have already panicked and made a mess of things.
As his mind wrestled, Vidâs gaze shifted and landed on Leo Ray, who was deep in thought. Leo Ray didnât show any signs of panic.
âItâs no wonder he is a remarkable leader from the Human Clan!â
Seeing this scene, a sense of admiration surged through Vidâs heart.
On this point alone, he undoubtedly lagged far behind Leo Ray.
At the same time, this Dwarf Elf Prince became increasingly curious about how Leo Ray would decide.
As Ariel Watson had mentioned, in a place where Leo Ray could not see, Ariel Watson, Jasper Richardson, Hongye, and Elusa were all gazing intently at Leo Rayâs profile, wondering which one their Lord would choose.
âYour Excellency, if you donât make a choice soon, this trial will fail, and youâll be trapped in this Illusion Realm forever.â
Seeing that Leo Ray hadnât taken any action and remained so composed, âAriel Watsonâ obviously had her patience worn thin and urged him.
As soon as âAriel Watsonâ finished speaking, the Half-Orc, who had been slowly approaching, suddenly started running wildly toward the imprisoned subordinatesâ illusions.
This undoubtedly meant that the time left for Leo Ray to make a decision was limited.
âYour Excellency, if you donât act now, Iâm afraid itâll be too late!â
Seeing the Half-Orc suddenly accelerate, an anxious Vid blurted out, âItâs better to save one than have everyone eliminated! If everyone is gone, Your Excellency, youâll really have no chance!â
Seeing this, Ariel Watson and the others, who had been observing from the shadows, couldnât help but feel nervous for Leo Ray.
Although being left behind by their Lord would be distressing, they didnât want to see their Lord in such a dilemma!
As everyone worried, the Half-Orc, who had been wildly sprinting, was already close to the four illusions that were still crying for help.
âSorry, only children make choices. I want them all, and none of them can be missing!â
At this critical moment, Leo Rayâs mouth curled slightly upward, an indication that he already had a decision in mind.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and rushed toward the direction where the four illusions were.
In the blink of an eye, Leo Rayâs tall figure appeared right in front of the illusions.
What happened next was unexpected.
Instead of rescuing any of the illusions, Leo Ray, holding his longsword, attacked the burly Half-Orc with a lascivious face.
The longsword tore through the air, producing a piercing hum as it accurately pierced the Half-Orcâs chest.
As Leo Ray pulled out his longsword, a splash of red appeared before the Half-Orc collapsed, mixing with the corpses scattered on the ground.
Behind Leo Ray, the illusions naturally remained unharmed and began to cheer and jump for joy.
âSo thereâs such a solution? No wonder he is a remarkable leader from the Human Clan!â
Looking at Leo Rayâs upright figure with a sword through the heart, the usually steady Vid almost jumped with excitement.
Yes, this was the correct answer!
Either do not act, or save everyone; this is the style of a leader!
A true leader would never hand over the decision-making power to the opponent and would not rely on the god of luck. Because he himself is the god of luck!
Excited, Vid now understood the key to this trial.Everything that the Stone Spirit said at the beginning seemed to introduce the rules, but it was actually nothing more than a deception.
Once you act according to the other partyâs so-called idea, even if you save the two relatively most important illusions, the outcome will undoubtedly be the only one to fail.
âLuckily, I didnât find the two keys at the time and start the [Divine Stone] trial, otherwise, I might have been trapped here to die long ago,â
Vid swallowed, felt a chill running down his spine, and started to feel frightened.
âDid you actually choose the simplest correct answer?â
Seeing Leo Ray easily solve the problem she set, ăAriel Watsonă pouted, her face showing a somewhat disappointed expression: âBut, this is the person that I admire!â
As the conversation reached this point, ăAriel Watsonă placed her hands on her hips and nodded in satisfaction: âSo, I declare that you have also passed the second test.â
Upon hearing the words of ăAriel Watsonă, Ariel Watson and the others who were watching couldnât help but cheer and be excited. The Lord had never disappointed them!
âSo thereâs a third test?â
Leo Ray casually spoke as he wiped the bloodstains off his longsword.
âOf course, this is just the beginning. I donât believe that you can always find the most standard answer.â
ăAriel Watsonăâs delicate face was once again covered with a playful expression as she lazily addressed Leo Ray: âLetâs start the third trial immediately, and I hope, Your Excellency, that you wonât disappoint me this time.â
As her words ended, Leo Ray noticed:
The surroundings didnât change; it was still the bloody battlefield filled with smoke.
However, not far away, the burly Half-Orc figure appeared again.
The difference this time is that there were two of them, approaching from completely different directions.
âThe rules are similar to before. Even if you strike one of the two Half-Orcs first, the other will definitely teleport in front of the illusions and attack them directly or simply use magic.â
ăAriel Watsonă glanced at Leo Ray and said indifferently: âIn short, no matter what, you cannot defeat both at the same time unless you randomly sacrifice an illusionary subordinate.â
âRemember, I only admire truly wise and courageous leaders. Once you fail the trial, I will not hesitate to leave you and your companions trapped on this bloody battlefield forever.â
Having said this, ăAriel Watsonă resumed her taunting expression, ready to watch Leo Ray make a fool of himself and didnât speak any further.
âThis is simply an impossible task. From the last test, as long as one illusionary subordinate is eliminated, the test will fail.â
After listening to the Stone Spiritâs introduction, Vid felt like his brain was smoking.
Even when researching the Magic Computer, he had never felt such a headache.
âIn other words, defeating both Half-Orcs at the same time is necessary to pass the test?â
Vid furrowed his brows in thought, feeling more and more confused: âBut the Stone Spirit wouldnât let a human take down two of them. This is an impossible task.â
As Vid racked his brains, Ariel Watson and the other four subordinates also held anxious expressions, all worried about Leo Ray.
Everyone knew clearly at this moment:
The choice Leo Ray makes is crucial, even directly affecting the life and death of everyone present!
After all, if they were really trapped here, there would be no hope for any of those present, including Leo Ray and the subordinates, as well as the Dwarf Elves, like Vid, in need of rescue.
For a moment, an uneasy atmosphere silently pervaded the Illusion Realm.
Everyone was waiting quietly, to see what kind of action Leo Ray would take in the face of this unsolvable problem.
âHow about it? Your Excellency, has this challenge finally stumped you?â
Seeing Leo Ray standing still, a smug smile spread across ăAriel Watsonăâs clear and bright face. It was apparent that she was very satisfied with the challenge she had come up with.
However, Leo Rayâs next move would be equivalent to slapping the Stone Spiritâs face, making her utterly outraged.
