Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 334 Finals
"Haha, we won another one!" One of the Frost family youths jumped up from his seat in the crowd of spectators in the Coliseum, seeing Lothur and Viktoria standing in front of the leader of the opposing group.
Annaliese had not been able to fight the entire battle. But when it happened, as only two opponents left on the combat platform, Lothur and Viktoria combined forces to eliminate one of them and reach the current result.
"I didn't eliminate you, but the next group you take tomorrow will take you out of the competition!" The black-haired woman said this while having a pained expression on her face.
Lothur and Viktoria paid no attention to her. Instead, they simply walked down that platform side by side while watching the latest update of the day of the ranking.
[1st. Waldauer Family: 123]
[2nd. Frohberg Family: 110]
[3rd. Klassen Family: 103]
[4th. Sommer Family: 90]
[5th. Koch Family: 83]
[6th. Geissler Family: 76]
[7th. Becker Family: 72]
[8th. Frost Family: 60]
[9th. Baier Family: 54]
[10th. Vogel Family: 51]
...
[39th. Dohmen Family: 0]
Seeing this, Lothur smiled, knowing that this result could be overwhelmingly attributed to his efforts.
But he did not think to demand some sort of prize from Mabel or anything. Instead, he just considered their current situation and what might happen tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, our group will contest 16 to 32 points. Then our top placement will be 4th position. On the other hand, since the Vogel and Baier families have no other competitors resting in the conference, even if we don't score, we are already guaranteed 8th place." He said to his wife.
The last day of the competition had 13 participants in each profession. Because of the odd number, in the first two rounds of each contest, one participant would not fight and would be guaranteed a spot in the next round.
So some participants would have the opportunity to fight 4 matches, others 3, and those more or less lucky, depending on who they were, would have just 2 matches.
So the score on the last day was variable, and the Frost family's placement would depend as much on their luck as on the actions of their opponents.
At this point in the Province Conference, holding back no longer made sense. Then perhaps the same phenomenon that occurred on the first day of the competition would happen in the finals!
Viktoria then said. "32 points is too much for us. I don't think our group will win the battles, and I doubt that the two of us will fight every match possible."
"Hmm, maybe not..." He smiled at her and said. "Some of the individuals who will fight in the group matches will also compete as our opponents in the disputes for spiritual professionals. So we can play dirty against them and hurt them."
"Oh?" She looked at him, not the least bit surprised by this since her husband had already taught her about his aggressive side. "That may be our only alternative... Let's do it!"
He nodded to her as they moved alongside Annaliese to this family's carriages.
"What will we do about tomorrow?" Annaliese asked them. "I bet they will attack us even more significantly than earlier today."
Lothur looked at Viktoria and said. "We will make some changes to our route."
...
After the end of another day of competitions, the families accompanying or attending the Province Conference left the Coliseum.
Lothur chatted for some time with Patriarch Frost before leaving with Viktoria for his hotel room, receiving that man's thanks once again.
He had ignored Mabel, just as she had said nothing to him, soon after leaving the Frost estate with his wife.
This day, unlike the previous ones, they had no battle to fight, so they intended to use the evening to rest and prepare for the finals.
The next day would be the most difficult for them. After the conference ended, problems from new dimensions would approach Lothur. So, they already had to start preparing since, unlike these days, he would now have more substantial, angrier, and more unconstrained opponents to go after him!
He had severely injured and even killed some competitors. Thus, it would not be strange to expect attempts at revenge.
Lothur was aware of all this and already had his plans in mind!
'My house will become the ideal place for my enemies to die in the future...' He imagined the place he would soon buy, a residence that would be the place for him to have fun with his women, but the terror of his opponents!
...
The next day...
After quite a night together, Lothur and Viktoria awoke when it was still dark outside the hotel they were in.
This woman began to cultivate while her husband prepared himself, following a somewhat different routine for this day of trials.
Today they would not play with each other before leaving, as they wanted to take a different route to disrupt possible enemy plans.
The enemy was probably already prepared to act against the Frost family group, so it would be a mistake for them to go together with the rest of the family.
But even if they took an alternative route, they would need to be prepared if the enemy discovered their actions.
So Lothur was quickly preparing poisons and formations to use on this path to the Coliseum in case something strange happened.
But he was not worried. With his visual ability and the fact that he and Viktoria would hide their identities while using an alternate route, their chances of reaching the Coliseum were not small!
Moreover, they would leave early to enter that place right after the gates opened, at 7 a.m., more than an hour before noble families usually arrived.
Therefore, the two were soon dressed and left that place with no intention of heading back to the Frost estate.
Annaliese already knew of their plans. Since she would be going alongside Mabel and Aiken, these two were reassured that nothing would happen to her.
In any case, the enemies wanted Lothur, so as long as he entered the Coliseum, no one would try to act against the rest of the Frost family.
That was Lothur and Viktoria's plan, something they quickly followed as they moved into that competition area.
Today was the last day of the Province Conference, when all the competitions would take place on the central platform. So the crowd in that place today would be the largest of all the days, something they did not take long to realize when they walked out of the busy streets of that city.
They managed to avoid most of the people in their way because of the ability of Lothur's Soul Bone. Still, it would not be long before they came across the crowds of people queuing up in that place. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
They did not have much difficulty on their way, as expected. But they would be in danger until they were not inside the Coliseum!
As they came across the rows of that place, they faced a problem getting in there as just spectators.
"What do we do now?" Viktoria questioned her husband, knowing that the very fact that they were standing there was risky, considering that other people could check her cultivation.
