The TV screen in the room lit up, and the silhouette appeared on the screen once more, accompanied by the characteristic entry sound of a comedic actor and the sound of applause it had triggered, the host's voice gradually rose.
"Welcome to the final competition of this season!"
"This is the first time our F Zone is hosting the final competition."
"It's also my first time hosting such an important contest."
"I won't mention the new rules, I believe everyone is clearer about them than I am."
"Now, let's get straight to the most important part before the competition—"
The host said as he started to switch screens.
"This is 'Beast Fury' Siluk from E Zone!"
"Let's take a look at his profile... Ssss! This 'Beast Fury's' record is truly astonishing. He has actually defeated all contestants, advancing to the finals! Every single round!"
"Whether it's 'Brutalizer' or 'Escaper'."
"He took them all down!"
"It's truly amazing!"
As the host's exaggerated words sounded, the camera showed a giant, nearly 3 meters tall, muscles twisted and knotted, with wild, disheveled hair.
His face was ferocious, eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light, he roared fiercely at the camera and yanked the camera down with one hand.
"It seems our 'Beast Fury' is really quite ferocious. Next, let's look at the second contestant, the 'Shadow Assassin' from G Zone—according to the information I have, this one is a professional assassin by trade, who once killed a hundred fully-armed elite soldiers with his bare hands. For 'Shadow Assassin', advancing to the finals was really easy, as he did so in the shortest time."
On the screen, a blurry shadow flickered in and out of visibility.
Clearly focused by the camera, but it seemed as if it couldn't focus properly.
Immediately, such a contestant drew people's attention.
Jason was no exception.
Because the other party displayed stealth skills of at least an expert level.
More like an assassin!
Jason thought silently.
Of course, only "like."
Not a true assassin in the real sense.
A true assassin fights for 'righteousness.'
They forsake their lives and forget their deaths!
But the 'Shadow Assassin' before him was a killer driven by 'profit', albeit somewhat resembling an assassin.
Therefore, Jason's gaze quickly moved on to the next 'Brutalizer.'
"Our third 'Brutalizer' is somewhat special."
"He comes from H Zone, was once a lawyer for the Moket Family but disregarded his own profession, choosing to personally execute his clients, and after causing a death, became the new 'Brutalizer—Death Lawyer'!"
"He knows some close combat techniques, can use some weapons, and has decent shooting skills, but what allowed him to advance to the finals was due to the infighting among three other 'Brutalizers' during the semi-finals, which gave him an easy break, truly a lucky fellow."
Jason's gaze was fixed on that spot.
Not for no reason, but simply because coming from H Zone was enough to warrant attention.
The Moket Family also came from there.
So, was this 'Death Lawyer' also from 'them'?
The probability was quite high!
Of course, this must be just the surface.
With the tactics of 'their' Leader, in the current environment, they definitely wouldn't make it so easy for others to find their pawn.
The host's introduction continued.
"Now let's take a look at the last contestant, also the one I am most familiar with—the contestant known as the 'True Brutalizer,' Jason."
With such an introduction, the host began talking about Jason.
Compared to the previous exaggeration, it was now even more exaggerated.
And it was all praise.
Clearly, the host chose to 'live with heart' and 'positively.'
"Does contestant Jason have anything he wants to say to everyone?"
After such a question, there was silence.
However, the host who had interacted with Jason was obviously used to it.
After the allotted time was up, the host went straight to the point—
"Now I declare, the competition begins!"
After the announcement.
The large door outside opened directly.
Followed by Jason's door.
According to the old rules, Jason should have been the last to go out, but the new rules stated that the most popular contestant would be the first to go out—this was one of Losa 11's changes.
Naturally, it was to facilitate Jason's actions.
His breathing quickened.
As soon as the host announced the start of the competition, a mysterious force suddenly descended here.
This force was powerful and filled with a sense of oppression.
Just like when Jason encountered it on 'Lorde' Pea Street.
But unlike before where he was completely defenseless.
This time, Jason had a bit of resistance.
And his eightfold heightened perception allowed him to clearly sense the existence's power.
Just its aura was suffocating.
At the same time, Jason could feel his emotions changing.
He wanted to kill everything around him!
Anything alive must be killed!
Jason's breathing became even heavier.
He knew that if he continued , he would become like those people.
He bit his tongue hard.
Pain momentarily brought clarity.
The force field of [Protection Against Evil] enveloped his entire body.
Giving him temporary safety.
But it was only temporary.
In the next moment, such a force field started to wobble.
Jason did not hesitate to use the two remaining uses of [Protection Against Evil] he had stored in advance.
Time to turn the tide!
Supported by the force field of [Protection Against Evil], Jason turned and picked up the two boxes given by Hera 10 and threw them out of the door.
Then, he closed the door and pressed the remote.
The night sky lit up.
