Chapter 2080 - Gift Games
It was just a day that they had met each other, but Laius didn"t expect that Haru and his group would challenge his community directly. If possible, he didn"t really want to accept this challenge, not only that it was troublesome, and he didn"t see the point to do it since the status of the "no-name" community was too low.
However, when Laius thought about the two tokens that showed the "no-name" community had defeated the Kraken and the Graeae, he knew that he didn"t have a choice but to accept this challenge. Still, he knew how strong the Kraken and the Graeae were, and for the "no-name" to be able to defeat two legendary monsters in a day, he knew that he couldn"t underestimate them.
"Let me show you that the community of Perseus isn"t something like the "no-name" community can blatantly provoke!"
Still, as Laius held the pendant on his neck, his confidence rose once again, and he knew that as long as he had this pendant, no one in this entire Little Garden could posses a threat to him and his community!
Laius was furious and thought that he was going to destroy the "no-name" community until they disappeared from the Little Garden!

Haru and his group looked at the palace of the community of Perseus and watched how grand this palace was. Haru then thought about the mansion in the "no-name" community, which was quite shabby.
"Should we build a building like this the "no-name" community?" Haru asked.
"Hmm... how about a j.a.panese style like in our world? After all, Shiroyasha"s headquarters has a j.a.panese design," Asagi said.
"I"m bored with j.a.panese design. The European castle isn"t that bad, you know?" Asuka said, adding her opinion.
"I want a hot spring pool," Yuu said blankly.
"How about we build a skysc.r.a.per?" Izayoi asked.
"Who is going to build it? You? The technology in this world isn"t as advanced as in our world, you know?" Haru said.
"Well, that"s true. It is troublesome to teach them," Izayoi said in a murmur.
"Um... everyone, can we focus on the Gift Game in front of us?" Kuro Usagi said helplessly.
Jin could only laugh awkwardly.
"Still, is your body better?" Haru asked everyone.
Hearing Haru"s words, they could only look at Haru bitterly since this guy was really a s.a.d.i.s.t. They didn"t expect that after Laius picked a fight against them, he brought them to fight the Kraken and the Graeae directly in a day, without any preparation or anything.
Kuro Usagi, Shiroyasha, and Jin were dumbfounded when the Kraken and Graeae were defeated in just a day, and after they returned, they directly challenged the community of Perseus on the Gift Game, which made them even helpless.
Luckily, Haru had a teleportation ability, so it only took a moment to move from one place to another place, but at the same time, they also challenged various Gift Games along the way.
Jin also got his first demon during those Gift Games and had a demon bear as his first familiar. It might not be as powerful as Manticore or Griffin, but for him, who had been powerless, this sudden change made him excited.
Still, with all of those Gift Games, it was normal for them to be dead tired, but Haru directly healed them and recovered their stamina, which made them helpless. They didn"t feel tired and sleepy, but it felt weird when they didn"t fall asleep.
However, before that, there was one important thing that they needed to do, and that was to beat the s.h.i.t of the community of Perseus.
Everyone was at the entrance of the headquarters of the community of Perseus, reading the rules of the Gift Game before they started the Gift Games.
"So if we defeat Laius where he"s hiding in the back of this place, we win, huh?" Izayoi said.
"But if we"re spotted, we lose our right to challenge him," Asuka said in the complaint.
"So basically, they want us to a.s.sa.s.sinate the head of the Perseus?" Izayoi shook his head.
"So that means they want us to handle Laius just like in the legend and get him his sleep?" Jin then lowered his head and sighed. "I don"t think that it"ll be that easy..." He then looked at Haru, wondering whether Haru had a way to solve this problem.
"Well, that"s true, there are a lot of people inside, and each of them is powerful. They also have a Gift that can make them invisible." Haru looked at everyone, and his expression didn"t change much. "Still, tell me if there"s worse than that?"
"There"s!" Kuro Usagi noticed that everyone was looking at her, which made her gulp. "The most dangerous Gift is held by Laius, and if I"m not wrong, that Gift should be a former..."
"Former Demon Lord, right?" Izayoi said as he looked at the stars.
"Perseus constellation, huh?" Haru looked at the stars with interest and said, "Well, let"s ignore the small fries, and let"s go directly to Laius."
"Huh?"
Everyone was dumbfounded by Haru"s words.
"Are we going to fly, Haru?" Asagi asked.
Hearing Asagi"s words, they knew that Haru could make everyone float by using his gravity manipulation.
"I"m too lazy to do that." Haru took out the helmets that he had taken from the members of Perseus and gave them to the people around him.
"........" Everyone was speechless when they received the helmets of Perseus on their hands.
"With this, we can go to the boss directly, right? By the way, you don"t need to worry about them to find us out since I have modified it a bit." Haru then looked at everyone and asked, "So are you ready for this Gift Game?"
"OOOOOHHH!!"
With that shout, everyone started to wear their helmets, and they were surprised that not only did they turn indivisible, but their voice also couldn"t be heard, which made them amazed at Haru, wondering how much ability that guy had.
"Let"s go."
Luckily, they could hear each other"s voices, or else they would feel that their existence had disappeared.

Laius was waiting on the top floor with a relaxed expression, but deep inside, there was a lot of tension in his heart, especially when the Gift Game had started, yet he felt that everything was strangely silent and as expected, suddenly a group of people appeared before him, taking off the helmets of his community, which made him frown, thinking how useless his people were and how shameful that his Gift was being used by the "no-name" community.
"Let"s see how proud you can be after you have seen this." Laius flew to the sky directly and pulled his pendant. "ALGOL!!!"
As the pendant was pulled, the sky turned dark, the cloud swirled, giving an ominous pressure to everyone who saw it.
Laius wanted to see their despair, but at the same time, he didn"t forget to mock them about Leticia who had turned into a stone.
