Chapter 273 I am going to wing it.
"You are here, come quick." Severus pulled her to his position using his power. She literally flew through the air as she was pulled toward him. "What\'s that and how can I do it?" she asked him immediately. "It\'s the increased energy which has come with the wall, I guess the deities injected much energy into the mist. I feel three times more powerful than usual, how do you feel?" Scarlet closed her eyes and circulated her soul power, it felt powerful, like a new gust of energy was being infused into her soul. "It feels powerful." she opened her eyes and said. "Can we use it for cultivation?" "Only a soul drop." he replied. "You took your sweet time getting here, don\'t you know the importance of the games?" "I had guests." she answered absentmindedly because she was looking around for Frost, her partner. "The human world is hindering you again," Severus noted unhappily. He needed her priorities to be eighty percent underworld business and only twenty percent human world related. This was proving to be difficult because of ties to her human family, husband and child. "Where is my partner?" she asked him.
Severus looked at the wall and replied, "Up there, he has been at it for two hours now, he is one of the idiots that are leaping like monkeys."
"Oh," she said, holding back a chuckle. It was true that those who were leaping were a big distraction to the others. "We agreed on slow progress in the beginning to conserve our energy, if he keeps that up, he will be maxed out before he gets to the first crossing point." She used her mind to reach out to Frost and she said to him, "Stop leaping partner, just walk." "But it\'s fun and easy." he answered. "Now, but your knees will give up soon." she told him. "One more leap and I am done." he answered. She snorted and looked at the competition, she had never seen so many grim reapers gathered in one place at once. Not even when she visited the Dark run village. They were every where, all around, in their black robes like little ants. She could not count how many because as large as the wall was, grim reapers were all over it, beyond points she could see. "You can watch your partner on the forum." Severus told her. She checked the forum and found a live viewing of the wall climbers. It was like a live broadcast of actors and actresses in the wilderness with room for the viewers to comment. Most of the comments were from warrior reapers who were bragging about having the victory in their bag. "How convenient." she said. "Show me Frost." she said. The footage moved to her partner who had stopped leaping on her advise and now, he was crawling along the wall with his hands and feet like a lizard.
[Look at this white haired idiot.]
Someone commented when Frost was shown on the forum\'s section of interesting climbers. [Monitor Lizard has joined the competition.]
She didn\'t care if someone called him an idiot or a monitor lizard, just as long as he held on steadily. She had seen at least three grim reapers falling from the wall in the past one minute wall. Twenty five minutes of watching, she saw Frost waving his white flag and he vanished from the wall. When he appeared, it was next to her. "Oh!!" she gasped, "Did you blink and locate me?" "No, the white flags locate each other." he answered. She brought her own similar white flag from her soul gourd and held it up. "I was not expecting you to come down so soon." she told him. "I reached a section of the wall where many reapers are falling off before raising their flags. I had a feeling that something was wrong so I crawled slowly and tentatively touched it. Look at my hand," he showed her his hand. It was slimy, and when she touched the slime, she realized that it was slippery. "Damn it!" she mumbled. Frost was right, something was right and new obstacles had been added to the wall. New quick strategies were needed. "How are the others getting across?" she asked him. "The strong ones can maintain their stability easily, I am not sure how they are doing it." he replied.
"All the anti-slip shoes in every shop are gone, those damn mecha warriors must have known ahead of everyone else about the slippery wall. It\'s all over the forum." Severus complained with a loud growl. "Isn\'t that cheating?" she asked. "Not technically, everyone can sniff around for potential cheats and possible obstacles. Some people pay the gate keepers to be ears, others pay the soul registrars and others keep an eye on what kind of armor, tools and weapons are being crafted the most." Frost explained. Now, she regretted not listening to the old deity when he extended a helping hand, perhaps she could have a way to help her team out of this conundrum if only she had listened. She thought for a little moment that the old deity might appear and say something but all was uncharacteristically silent in her mind. He sure knew how to turn up when he wanted and not when she wanted him to. Scarlet looked at the forum and realized that someone had already reached the first crossing point. Jesus!! what kind of energy were these reapers using that others did not have? "We should not be wasting time here, it\'s my turn." "But what is the plan?" Frost asked her. "Um, what are you going to do? Do you have a way to get past this slime without slipping and falling off the wall?" More grim reapers were falling from the wall like sick weak leaves off a tree.
"I am going to wing it." she answered and she vanished, leaving behind a dismayed partner and soul pet.
