Chapter 860

After a brief exchange with David Eastwood, Heijii divided the tasks - one to distract the gatekeeper, the other to modify the program.

On the other side, Chloe Collins and Polita were remarkably disruptive challengers, running and fighting haphazardly as if lacking combat experience, unknowingly disrupting the rhythm of many.

Not too far away, someone drew a bow and aimed an arrow at Bennett White’s calf.

Chloe Collins directly knocked one person out, causing him to tumble over, taking out two with one move.

Fifteen minutes later, the commentator emphasized Bennett White’s condition.

Twice, Bennett White had used his sword to prop himself on the ground and catch his breath, indicating that he was indeed weakening.

Yet, this was only the first half of the night!

Considering this strategy, Bennett White would not be able to stand till dawn.

The audience outside the ring began to pity Bennett White.

Cold Lizard wanted to cheer for Bennett White, cursing vehemently!

He was the one most keen on seeing Bennett White go!

Bennett White was his competitor, always had been, suppressing him for so long, how could he let this precarious opportunity slip away!

However, he dared not ask for help because if any foul play were discovered, his chances for the position of elder would vanish.

Suddenly, the ground-open main gate rapidly closed, causing the man running in to backtracking in alarm, spreading his hands in confusion.

"What in heaven’s name is happening!" Cold Lizard felt both joy and shock.

Many people looked toward the leader.

"It seems the leader gave the order to close the gate, fortunately, the leader isn’t that bad."

"Scared me to death, I thought we’d have to continue replenishing forces indefinitely, how can Bennett White win like this."

"The leader person is very good."

A madam, who was halfway to settle the score with the leader, turned around to see the scene of the gate closing; she immediately felt a sense of triumph.

It must be that the old man saw her coming and decided to change his mind.

At this point, the leader was in a state of confusion.

After a while, someone from below returned with a report.

"Leader, the main gate’s system is malfunctioning, it automatically closed and it can’t be opened now, they are repairing it!"

"Useless! Speed up the process!" the leader sternly commanded, dismissing him with a wave.

The Dark Alliance was full of talents; repairing a program should be an easy task.

However, ten minutes passed.

Then fifteen minutes passed.

Even, after forty-five minutes passed.

The main gate remained unopened.

The people who were eliminated inside couldn’t get out, they could only stand and wait by. The challengers who were supposed to attack couldn’t get in, and climbing the wall was against the rules.

By the end of an hour, Bennett White had moved to the Autumn Battlefield.

The number of remaining challengers had reduced from a thousand to just over three hundred.

They were equally exhausted. Hence, when Bennett White was moving towards the Autumn Battlefield not long ago, they couldn’t keep up.

Now it seems everyone had reached a silent agreement - it was time for a half-time rest.

In the dim interior of a small boat, a man’s breathing sounded somewhat labored.

His sword hilt was covered in sweat, and the sweat trickled down the side of his temples incessantly.

Just then, there was a rustling sound by his ear.

He abruptly turned his head around, but his tensed muscles gradually relaxed.

From the side of the small boat, a hand reached in from next door, and softly tossed a bottle of water onto the deck.

The water rolled down the incline and eventually slid to his front.

He stared at the small boat next door, spotting the corner of a milky white piece of clothing.

He took off his mask and set it aside.

After a while, he reached for the bottle of water and drank it.

The man wiped the sweat off his nose. As he dropped his hand, a strikingly stunning face was revealed, providing an intense yet stark contrast to the frightening mask left by his side.
