Inside the artificial Dungeon, the pilots do not stop shooting, most of the women had already been eliminated and at the same time they also stopped fighting among themselves and how not to do it, because the first level became a pandemonium, most of them chose for lowering more levels and that made most of them worry more about the monsters than about the participants.
Even so, there were over 200 entries, which was still far from the 20 winners and honestly, Arthur was starting to get bored.
Even if she had a 'toy', looking at her is always not good, plus she's been avoiding the traps in the Dungeon as if you knew her like the back of her hand, this was a bit frustrating and interesting, since Miriam wasn't an ordinary student.
Still no matter how good the game is, if you can't play it it's useless and with the elimination step because they don't kill each other anymore, the elimination rate goes down and each pilot is now more cautious, they learned from their mistakes , Arthur fears that he will have to spend a few more hours and they have even formed survival groups.
(Hmm maybe it's better if I do it myself?)
Suddenly a playful thought crossed his mind and he turned his head towards his dear judges...
Since the participants are 'Cheating', Arthur can do it too.
"Would you like to try it?"
"huh?"
The trio couldn't understand what Arthur was talking about, until Arthur snapped his fingers and a robot brought bracelets with it and they widened their eyes.
"Liam, can we? Is that against the rules?"
The first to ask was Lynne, as her judge her duty was to qualify the right candidates.
"No, there are no rules preventing judges from entering the battlefield, besides...wouldn't it be much easier if we test the candidates ourselves?"
Rules? It's a joke? Why did Arthur need that, as long as it was fun everything was fine, besides this is his event, he decided if it was against the rules or not.
"I agree, I will!"
Indara agreed immediately, she didn't feel comfortable just watching and now that she had the opportunity to participate she wouldn't refuse, not to mention that she was also a good opportunity to show Arthur her skills.
Men choose strong and reliable women, Indara wanted to be that woman for Arthur.
"Since it's not against the rules I'll do it, but Liam you have to stay close to me"
Even though Lynne didn't want to participate for fear of Arthur getting hurt, it was okay if he was with her to protect him.
"Of course, we will make a team"
"Well, what about you, Miss Libe..."
The three agreed and put on the bracelets, only Libe hesitated.
As a villain she knew this was a very bad idea, to begin with her strength is the weakest of the group and this is also a classic scene where FMC shine.
They are all villains and it was obvious to her that thanks to the FMC Halo, Libe didn't doubt that even if sister ends up being beaten by Miriam.
This was simply giving himself on a silver platter and accumulating fame for the FMC, Libe was not a masochist and although Arthur was with them, Arthur is a man and a high level MC, he would definitely be fine but what Libe was worried about is that Due to this incident, Arthur gets closer to Miriam and sees her as unreliable and their relationship is more distant.
This was the worst...
"I'm in..."
Silently gritting her teeth, Libe agreed, she had no choice since if she didn't accept she could avoid being hit, but she would also leave an image of being a coward in Arthur which would cause further estrangement.
So her only option was to go inside and prevent her group from colliding with Míriam.
"Good..."
Bad for Libe, one of Arthur's main targets was Miriam, he wanted to see what else this girl is hiding.
----------------------------
Artificial Dungeon, Floor number 6....
"Let's rest for a moment..."
"Yeah...ha...yes...haaa"
It's been about 3 hours since they entered this Dungeon and the speed with which they went down the floors slowed down.
Even with the 'charge' Miriam tried to keep up the speed and go down, but the monsters were getting stronger and sincerely their magical power was running out, they needed a break from which Yholan was delighted..
After finding a relatively 'safe' area, Yholan collapsed and the embarrassing image of him was exposed, as a man the image of him should be maintained, but he was so tired that he didn't care that Miriam was next to him.
Of course Miriam looked at him for a few seconds before looking away, Yholan is a handsome man and as a woman, Miriam was attracted to this was something natural that no human woman could resist, after all it's 'free', however compared to Arthur, Yholan was definitely not a match so Miriam took a look and didn't turn around again.
(Unfortunately it's not Liam...)
If the one next to her were Arthur, Miriam wouldn't look away even if she was blindfolded, she would take a good look at those muscles, legs and behind, she would record his image in her mind to later be used in her fantasies.
But considering Arthur's personality, even if he was dying, she would never expose such a shameful and pitiful figure.
"Rest well, we'll leave in 15 minutes maximum"
"Ehhh? Why so fast? I'm exhausted, let's stay longer..."
Yholan complained, while Miriam rolled her eyes, she was doing all the work, Yholan just shot how many times her 'tiredness' was due to why she had to follow Miriam at full speed, like someone who didn't exercise, the Just running for a long time was enough to exhaust his magic power, but Miriam didn't care.
15 minutes is already the limit, if you stay longer, more monsters will accumulate and create hordes, they have to always be on the move otherwise it will be dangerous.
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly Miriam's sense of danger was activated, she quickly put herself on guard and the sound of footsteps was heard, Yholan was confused at first but followed Miriam's example and pulled the gun from her, ready to shoot...
"Huh? Wow there are people here, I thought we were the first"
"Hehe that's nice and still pretty boy"
"If they went down so many floors so far, surely the pretty boy is strong"
Suddenly three figures appeared, from their appearance Miriam did not doubt that they were senior girls and were not ordinary students, on the contrary, these girls are famous, known as the 'Purple Sisters'.
Definitely one of the strongest in the school, only under the student council and Miriam of course recognized them, her expression sank.
If you remember correctly, these sisters successfully joined Arthur's group and one of them qualified for the Eighth in the Quitor.
And Miriam had no confidence in defeating them if they were to fight.
"We don't want problems, if you want to continue you can pass"
Miriam didn't let her guard down, continuing to aim her gun as she left enough space for the Sisters to pass.
"Hehe not so fast Young people, I see that you are resting, we are also exhausted... What do you say we join together?"
"The Dungeon is quite difficult, I think it's a good idea"
"Yes, yes, so we can take care of them, do not fear young people"
take care of us? Only a ghost would believe them, even though this is a controlled artificial Dungeon, these sisters wouldn't dare go too far as to do something extreme to them due to reputation.
Even so, their intention was obvious, the way they looked at Yholan was like eating him alive and Yholan had already hidden behind Miriam.
These girls were here because of Yholan or rather they wanted something with him, although they wouldn't dare to harass him directly, still using accidents to 'touch' casually was allowed, this was a Dungeon even if artificial, it was still a Dungeon and accidents exist .
"No, thanks..."
Although Miriam did not like Yholan and she hoped to get rid of him, she would not be so extreme as to throw him to the hungry lionesses.
Besides that Yholan still serves to stop Libe, she therefore doesn't want to be too harsh with him.
"Think about it better young lady, each floor is more difficult and at this rate you will be eliminated"
"Yes, you are already at the limit and you will not be able to go down any more floors, it is best that you join us"
"Don't be stubborn young lady, without our help you won't classify"
The sisters didn't care about Miriam's rejection, they had already decided to join them whether they wanted to or not.
After all, Yholan was still in his strike zone...
and Arthur? No, the sisters never thought of joining Deus Ex Machina as an excuse to win over Arthur.
They knew their limits and could see what was impossible for them to conquer, there were so many rivals and there was the president of the student council.
They didn't dare steal Lynne's man.
Also, Arthur was on another level, even without Lynne's presence, the sisters feel Arthur is unreachable, like an Angel that humans could only see, but never touch and could only express a platonic love.
Therefore instead of chasing a beautiful but never real dream, they prefer to chase Yholan, which is achievable.
As for her little girlfriend (Miriam), they never took her seriously, if she doesn't agree, take her out of the game.
"No, thanks..."
Miriam denied again, she does not need anyone's help to classify, her experience was richer and not inferior to these sisters, on the contrary, if they were at the same level, Miriam is confident that she can beat all three at the same time.
"Since the young lady doesn't agree, we won't force her, what does the little brother say? Does he trust that she can go down more floors?"
"If you come with us, we will protect you and classify together"
"Um, um, rest assured, we will help you"
Does the little girlfriend refuse? It doesn't matter, we just want Yholan.
This was the hidden message of the sisters, at the same time they smiled, no matter what, as long as Yholan is smart she could see that the Sisters were the best option if she wanted to win, even if she would pay a small price, it was still profitable.
(With a pretty boy between us, the trip will be very sweet~)
The sisters couldn't help but think of everything they could do in this Dungeon, even stealing kisses from her was possible...
Anything was possible as long as they play their cards right...
"No, I appreciate your help, but it's not necessary..."
Yholan of course wasn't stupid, as a man he was used to seeing through women's lust, so he wouldn't be so easily deceived, also unlike Miriam who helped him without asking for anything in return, these three weren't its type.
"Is that so? I should consider it more"
"Yes, yes, it is very dangerous here"
"We Will Definitely Protect You"
Yholan's refusal did not affect the trio of sisters, they were used to being rejected often so they kept insisting.
"..."
Yholan's expression sank and she took a step back, likewise Miriam sighed, she knew it was time to be Yholan's shield.
Although she didn't want to do it she had no choice....
"Wow? Are these the last ones?"
But it was at that moment that a voice stopped their actions and the group instantly went into combat mode, the trio of sisters turned around and pointed their weapons, but what they saw left the group stunned.
"What... are you doing... here?..."
Some of the sisters asked in disbelief and how not to do it, since the ones who appeared were the judges, with their respective Wunder and they weren't just any Wunder, they were the most advanced of Deus Ex Machina, Miriam knew this even though her Wunder was a personalized one, in the other timeline sold out en masse.
(Liam....what is he doing here?!)
Miriam could not understand, in the previous timeline this did not happen, this means that the future has deviated so much that it is impossible to know what will happen.
"Cleaning, there are many pilots..."
Responding with a smile, Arthur brought his hands behind his back and as if he noticed his confusion, he began to explain.
"This is recruiting you know, so the pilots have to do their best, but there are a lot of people who have been hiding in the lower levels and waiting without intending to go down further."
Shaking his head Arthur sighed in disappointment.
"This isn't right, so we decided to team up and clean up a bit, plus as judges we're also the enforcer of this draft, so it's better if we assess their strength ourselves."
Clapping his hands, Arthur's smile deepened that he made the girls present gulp, there was no way her smile was so attractive that even Lynne who always remained expressionless had a blush on her cheeks.
"But don't worry, you are the last group and you are on the qualified list, but I don't know because there are many interesting pilots and this list can change, so I suggest you do your best, only then will you qualify without issues..."
*BOOMMMM
Finishing speaking and the first to move was Lynne, she moved quickly and took advantage of the moment that they were still assimilating Arthur's words to attack, her energy cannon hit the target and one of the sisters was hit with success ...
"Come on, hold on, hold on as long as you can"
*BOOMMMM
Joining up with Lynne, Indara and Liben also released their arsenal, only unlike Indara and Lynne, Libe aimed it straight at Miriam.
She had to eliminate this FMC.
Arthur on the other hand continued to smile as the group withdrew from the barrage, no matter how good their defenses are, if they are hit by Lynne's weapons, they will exhaust their magic power and lose.
So they fell back and took cover, fortunately for Miriam and Yholan, the bombardment was concentrated on the trio of sisters, while she was only hit by Libe's bullets, which due to her low power did not affect her...
At the end of shooting, only a cloud of smoke remained, as for the group of prey, they had already escaped, they would be fools if they stayed.
"I'll go for the strongest..."
Lynne only had one target and that was the trio of sisters, for Lynne who had seen Arthur's combat power, only those women represented a threat.
Of course, even they wouldn't do anything to Arthur but he wasn't going to say it.
"Then we'll go for the other two, Liam, what do you say you help Big Sister Lynne?"
Lynne was surprised by her little sister's suggestion and also raised her thumb to her heart, this was a good opportunity to show her 'Feminine' side to Arthur so she was pleased with her little sister, she even thought of giving him a reward since it seemed that Libe had given up on Arthur.
(I can't let Miriam and Liam be together!)
Of course Libe's real thoughts were to get Arthur away from Miriam, since this seemed to be a classic event where the FMC beats the powerful MC.
Of course Libe doesn't think that Arthur can lose, however due to luck points and fate, it's possible that Miriam can still force Arthur to lose.
And like a cliché, Arthur will take an interest in her for beating him being weaker and after she falls in love with her.
Such an event was so predictable that Libe was not going to allow it, even if Arthur's probability of losing is less than 0.0001%.
So Libe was not going to allow any more loss of points, he had to defeat Miriam and thus break his luck points.
So she went to her strategy that has worked so far and that is to use Indara to take down these FMC.
"Hey?"
On the other hand, Indara didn't want to part with Arthur, she showed a cold look towards Libe for dragging her into such shit, for Indara, Miriam wasn't worth it, even as a test, so she was even more upset to leave Arthur alone with that woman.
(I'll explain later! I promise to make it up to you!)
Libe flinched from Indara's intensity and winked.
(You owe me a lot!!)
In the end Indara compromised and decided to follow Libe.
"Hmm no problem"
Arthur had no problem with that, just as he ignored the silent conversation between Indara and Libe, since the Artificial Dungeon itself is his own eyes so he could see all the development between Miriam and Libe, Arthur had already realized the friction that these two women had and I was a little interested in that since there was history and of course, it's fun...
"Don't worry, we'll catch up with you as soon as we're done"
Of course Arthur didn't think so, but he attended to Libe's words, so the group split up.
-------------------------
"Your girlfriend is jealous..."
After fleeing the bombardment, Miriam couldn't help but complain to Yholan, Libe was just as disgusting as she remembered her.
Even if Yholan was with her, she still had no mercy.
"Ahhh... what am I going to do?! What if I misunderstand our relationship?! That must be it, otherwise I wouldn't attack you!"
Yholan on the other hand wasn't even angry that his supposed girlfriend shot him with a gun on the contrary, he held his head regretfully, he really didn't want Libe to take the friendship he had with Miriam the wrong way.
He couldn't deny that Míriam is a good woman, but her love was still Libe who understood him the most, although she is now cold and distant, I blame this on Arthur's Incubus.
Everything was fine until she showed up, that seductive incubus.
"No, no! I must explain it to him!"
Yholan stood up, the best thing to avoid misunderstandings was to speak up front, so Yholan regained his confidence, they trusted that as long as he explained the situation, Libe would understand.
"I do not advise you to go, you will be shot again, I don't think your girlfriend heard you"
"Of course she will! Libe will understand I'm sure!"
Shaking her head, Miriam looked at him pityingly, love is blind and Yholan couldn't see beyond Libe's personality, which was very sad, still.
(Not my problem...)
It was better to get rid of this burden surely Libe would shoot him, even if after this Yholan still clinging to Libe was good, so Miriam would have more time with Arthur therefore she didn't stop Yholan anymore.
"Luck..."
Annoyed by his words, Yholan turned his head and snorted coldly.
"Hmph! I trust her...Ackkk?!"
*Bom
"...!?"
Yholan did not finish speaking before a projectile impacted her body, creating an explosion and a cloud of smoke, Miriam did not react in time to save him and the only thing she could do is use her protective shield since another projectile could shock her....
A few seconds later the cloud of smoke dispersed, there were no traces of Yholan, he was eliminated in a single attack, Miriam clucked at this, there was no mercy for Yholan.
"Tsk...how cruel!"
Miriam wanted to say that she warned him but it was too bad, she was already out, it was still too much even for Libe, at least a man player like Libe should have some self control.
"One less...."
"Hmm?"
But the next words silenced her completely, since the person who shot Yholan was not Libe...
She was the strongest girl in the class...
"Indara Lujan..."
"You follow!"
Indara did not differentiate between men and women, she treated both sexes equally, this was very clear, now she made sense why Yholan was treated rudely.
In front of Indara, except for Arthur, this woman will hit them if they get close.
"Damn, what a waste of time..."
Still that doesn't change anything, Miriam quickly took a battle stance.
(Tsk! Fine, I didn't want to face her, but never mind)
Miriam was not afraid of her, although her first regression was careful with her, in this life it was impossible for Miriam to bend to her.
(This time I don't care if you're Arthur's sister, I'm going to beat you!)
"What good eyes..."
As an intern military warrior, Indara noticed the abnormality in Miriam, this girl who was at the bottom of the class was very different from how she remembered.
"I like her, but that makes her want to do my best"
"You'd better do them, otherwise you're going to lose!"
"Haha I'll finish quickly, Liam is waiting for me..."
Indara ignored Miriam's statement, for her even if her eyes and her aura changed from her, it doesn't matter, Miriam is weaker than her, therefore there was no way to lose.
*Bam
And as a tacit agreement between the two of them, the two of them stopped using long-range weapons and used their lightsaber, at the same time as the thrusters activated.
