"Announcement: the castellan of Bramble City, Dick, and the challenger of Bramble City, Wolf Emperor have entered the halidom."
With the announcement, Dick and Wolf Emperor appeared in a golden hall.
There were already five people standing in this magnificent hall. When they heard the announcement that Dick and Wolf Emperor came in, they all turned their heads and looked at Dick curiously.
There was no doubt that these five people were all from secret forces, but Dick hasn't heard their names yet. For the time being, he didn't know where they came from.
In this hall, everyone's information was hidden. Even if Dick activated the Eyes of God, he couldn't see through their information.
It was secrecy. Perhaps it was also for the sake of fairness of the points knock-out competition. But if they needed to cooperate with each other to complete the halidom task, they couldn't hide their information from each other.
"Well, everyone, I know that there are irreconcilable contradictions between us, and we are already enemies. But in this halidom, I hope you can abandon the misunderstandings. No matter what will happen in the future, at least now we have to cooperate to complete the halidom task."
An old man with white hair and a white beard said as he coughed.
His eyes swept across Dick's face and looked at him for a while as if to remind Dick not to try to challenge them all alone at this time.
It was also what Dick wanted to complete the halidom task peacefully, so he shrugged his shoulders and said first.
"Fine, I'm OK with that. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Dick, castellan of Bramble City. This is my companion, Wolf Emperor."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dick's statement. Then he introduced himself.
"I'm Herzog from the Dragon race of the secret forces. This is my companion, Bellis."
The other three looked at each other and weighed the pros and cons inwardly. Only by cooperating with each other could they successfully complete the halidom task. Even if they had deep enmity with the challengers, they would have to think about it until they received the halidom task rewards.
The three of them also made their own self-introductions. They were all from secret forces. Two of them were from the Cangshan race, and the other was from the Darkness race.
Somehow, when the member of the Darkness race looked at Dick, there was always a trace of hostility in his eyes. But Dick didn't remember when he had offended him, and he hadn't even met him.
After the self-introduction, everyone stopped talking to each other. With the presence of Dick, who was not a member of the secret forces, no one would have the mood to talk in front of Dick.
As time passed, Herzog walked to the middle of the crowd and said.
"Well, now it's about to start. I think we all know something about each other. The first round of the halidom task is about to begin. I hope we can cooperate with each other and don't plot against each other."
"Announcement of the First Venue: the time limit of 60 minutes is up. No one is allowed to enter the halidom. The first round is about to begin. Please get ready."
After the announcement, the door behind everyone slowly disappeared. At the end of the hall, there were seven humanoid creatures formed by the light element.
"Announcement of the First Venue: the first round of the halidom task is to defeat all the light element creatures. After defeating them, you can obtain personal contribution points, which will be accumulated to team contribution points as the basis for the final ranking."
Herzog nodded slightly and said to everyone.
"Have you heard that? This is our first-round task. We have seven people in total, and there are seven light element creatures in total. Each of us deals with one light element creature. Do you have any objections?"
Dick nodded. Herzog's arrangement was fair so that everyone could earn contribution points. There was no need to worry about the conflict caused by the uneven distribution of contribution points.
After saying that, Herzog rushed to the light element creature in the middle, and his palm turned into a huge dragon claw, slapping out a blood-red claw mark, directly smashing the light element creature's body into pieces.
The people of the other secret forces were unwilling to lag behind, and they all rushed to light element creatures.
Squinting his eyes, Dick observed these people from the secret forces. It was obvious that they didn't do their best, and he couldn't see their true strength for the time being.
It seemed that if he wanted to find out their background, he had to pay more attention to them in the future task.
He thought inwardly. He and Wolf Emperor rushed to a light element creature respectively.
The light element creature was not very powerful and could be killed easily. But just as Dick's blade was about to touch its head, a black spear suddenly stabbed out from the side and pierced through the light element creature's head.
Dick was stunned. He frowned and looked at the man next to him. The man slowly withdrew his spear, shrugged his shoulders, and said coldly.
"Sorry, I didn't notice you. I thought you were afraid and didn't dare to do anything, so I helped you."
Dick sneered in his heart but didn't retort. Although this guy from the Darkness race said he was sorry, a mocking expression constantly appeared in his eyes. It was obvious that he was targeting him.
"Aphelios? Alright. I will remember you. I hope you can still be so relaxed in the following task."
Dick thought inwardly. He turned to look at Wolf Emperor. At this time, Wolf Emperor had completed its task. He hunted a light element creature and obtained 100 contribution points.
"Mr. Dick, should we teach this member of the Darkness race a lesson? At the very beginning, we had agreed to cooperate with each other, but he openly broke the rules. After all, there was no such condition as the multi-dimensional palace that prevented attacks from each other."
Wolf Emperor frowned, looked at Aphelios, and talked to Dick through spirit.
"There's no need. We haven't known about his true strength. Since he attacked us first, he must have been well prepared. Even if we want to fight back, we have to find a more hidden way."
Dick also talked to Wolf Emperor through his soul power and walked towards Herzog with a smile.
"Thank you for Mr. Aphelios helping me solve the problem. Mr. Herzog, I think we should be able to enter the gate now, right?"
Herzog took a deep look at Dick but said nothing. He took a deep breath and gave the order.
"Everyone, come with me! Enter the gate!"
