**[Final] Thread discussing the Death Game Part 525 [Tournament]**
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
The first day of the final tournament turned out to be wild!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
The Demon Lord is the strongest! The Demon Lord is the strongest! The Demon Lord is the strongest!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Here we go again, the Demon Lord worshippers are going to start getting cocky! lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
They already have! lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
But honestly, the Demon Lord *is* super strong.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
I didn’t expect (*´ω｀*) to die instantly…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
If you’re going to mention that, Naval & Hassan are too strong as well!
Sarah almost cried!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
And they’ll end up taking each other out.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
If that’s the case, wasn’t last tournament’s champion pretty strong too?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Yeah, but Leon was totally useless in that match. Well, Maris wasn’t much help either…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Wait, transformations are allowed?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Ringo Star seems like he’s aiming for one.
Transformation incoming.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Maris probably thought teaming up with Leon would help her get far in the tournament, but luck wasn’t on her side with the draw.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
No one’s talking about Axel, who actually made it through… (´；ω；｀)
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Looking at the ones who advanced, though…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
It’s pretty much guaranteed he’ll finish in fourth place…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
(´；ω；｀) Ugh…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
So who do you think will win?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Probably last year’s champion, right?
Maris wasn’t great, but the fact that Leon got one-shotted speaks to the champion’s strength.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
My bet’s on the Demon Lord. That beam attack is just too unfair.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
But Naval & Hassan are strong too. The question is whether the Demon Lord will get a chance to charge up the beam…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Also, the Demon Lord’s partner is practically invisible, so they’re a step below. It’s either Naval & Hassan or the former champion for the win.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Don’t underestimate the Demon Lord!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
I hope the Demon Lord gets eliminated quickly. His fanbase is so annoying! lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Same here lol

**[Legendary Food Stall] Thread about the stalls at the tournament part 13 [Mystery shops?]**
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
It feels like there are more shops popping up each day…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
I’ve spent so much money, I’m broke! Where’s my participation prize for the tournament?!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Are they trying to sell revival medicine or something? Everyone has their own priorities, I guess…
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Has the vendor list for the central area been completed yet? The outer section is next.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
The outer section is mostly known for that poison shop, but not much else is standing out.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
The shop selling hidden weapons is secretly popular among the PK crowd.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Are they serious? PK in a Death Game?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
There’s always a crowd that loves PvP. And then there are just some plain crazy folks.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
They do realize this isn’t a game, right? When they get back to reality, they’ll be arrested. Who would even bother?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Apparently, they think it’s impossible to clear the game easily. Besides, if the server had to log all that data, it’d overload. Or at least, that’s their excuse.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
So, they think there won’t be any evidence?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
I guess they’re saying it’s impossible to tell if someone was killed by a monster or by a PK.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
What a bunch of troublemakers.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Hey, I went to get some food from that poison shop, but the stall was gone.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
!? No way!
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
But they left a map leading to the shop’s new location.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
What the heck is that lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Well, as long as I can still eat their food, it’s fine.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Maybe they moved because of all the requests related to that shop becoming so famous.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Wait, there were requests related to it?
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Yeah, like helping people who collapsed from the poison or transporting them. They were looking for volunteers to help with that.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Seriously, people still aren’t drinking the tea? (sigh)
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
The taste isn’t complete without the tea. You’re missing out if you just have the soup.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
It seems like a lot of people are drinking it.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Once you try it, you’ll understand. It’s the best thing in the entire food stall area.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Even someone like me, who doesn’t care about taste, got hooked. It’s seriously amazing.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
By the way, here’s the shop’s new location.
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Nice promotion lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
Perfect timing lol
[Anonymous Death Game Participant]
With all these great reviews, maybe I’ll check it out.

**[Private] Oracle Room [Password: the usual]**
[Death Game Master]
So? Do you have any excuses?
[Death Game Master]
Excuses? For what?
[Death Game Master]
For sneaking into the tournament without consulting anyone!
[Death Game Master]
Huh? Was that bad?
[Death Game Master]
Of course it was.
And you even went and lost without saying a word…
[Death Game Master]
But doesn’t this prove it? Out of the Four Heavenly Kings, Maris is clearly the weakest! lol
[Death Game Master]
Stop it!
[Death Game Master]
Why did you even do it? You almost got taken out in the early rounds!
[Death Game Master]
Honestly, getting Leon as an ally made me feel a bit overconfident. No regrets though.
[Death Game Master]
You should regret it!
[Death Game Master]
*sigh*
[Death Game Master]
lol
[Death Game Master]
Anyway, to be honest, I thought it’d be fun to stir things up a bit.
[Death Game Master]
Stir things up?
[Death Game Master]
I wanted to make a grand appearance in the tournament, win gloriously, and use the prize ceremony to reveal the condition for clearing this Death Game to the whole world!
[Death Game Master]
Good thing you lost.
The Demon Lord would’ve killed you.
[Death Game Master]
Eh, I could handle the Demon Lord.
My unique skill is pretty insane, after all.
[Death Game Master]
But going up against Raiko & the Goblin King with no chance of winning is pure madness…
[Death Game Master]
Raiko, the oldest member of the Four Heavenly Kings, huh?
With his skill, all his stats go over 500. He’s a monster.
[Death Game Master]
Yeah, he was the main defense against the Evil Grande attack during the Dragon Stampede.
He matched the dragons in physical defense.
[Death Game Master]
The Goblin King’s no slouch either. He used to rule the Goblin Empire to the south of Evil Grande. With his skill, he easily breaks 500 too.
[Death Game Master]
They used to be sworn enemies, the Demon Lord’s kingdom and the Goblin Empire. Now they’re comrades after all these years… smells like romance, don’t you think?
[Death Game Master]
That’s not the point! Did you even have a plan to beat Raiko after he transformed?
[Death Game Master]
Nope.
[Death Game Master]
You fought him without a plan?
[Death Game Master]
It’s not like that. I knew Raiko wouldn’t transform if he didn’t take us seriously. The plan was to take him out before he transformed.
But then Leon had to go and provoke him…
I love Leon’s design, he’s one of my top favorites, but he’s way too rigid in moments like this.
[Death Game Master]
So you picked Leon because of his design?
[Death Game Master]
Well, his early-game strength was also a factor. But design is crucial. That’s something I can’t compromise on.
[Death Game Master]
So Maris is officially the weakest, but what about you guys? What’s your status?
[Death Game Master]
I started as a monster race. I’m gradually getting stronger, but it’s slow going because I don’t have much interaction with others.
[Death Game Master]
I’m monster race too. I’ve been grinding through a hidden dungeon right from the start.
[Death Game Master]
I went human. I’ve been taking side quests delivering expensive items, then selling those items for profit. I just finished gathering enough funds.
**[Death Game Master]**
You’re a devil! lol
**[Death Game Master]**
Ahh, I see the humans have that kind of method…
**[Death Game Master]**
Are you wanted yet?
**[Death Game Master]**
Yeah, but I’ve been doing it mostly in small villages, so it’s fine. I’ll get arrested if I go back, but I’m not planning on going back. Once I get my gear sorted, I’ll head to a hidden dungeon to train and then make my way to another continent.
**[Death Game Master]**
You guys really think things through, huh.
**[Death Game Master]**
Ideally, by the time people notice—or by the time we announce the conditions for clearing the Death Game—it’ll be too late for them. Isn’t it kind of epic when players who are usually at odds end up teaming up for something this huge?
**[Death Game Master]**
But who’s going to be the first to figure it out?
I mean, no one knows that the only way to end this Death Game is to kill the four of us…
**[Death Game Master]**
Who knows? I’m not even sure there’s anyone out there capable of finding us.
But if they don’t, we’ll just keep getting stronger until we eventually stand right in front of them, and they won’t have a choice but to face us.
**[Death Game Master]**
In that case, Maris jumped the gun too early.
**[Death Game Master]**
Yup, I’ll reflect on it—promise.
**[Death Game Master]**
Yeah, right, lol
