Supremacy Games

Announcement: Greeting everyone! I'm happy to be back on the platform. For those who have questions about my disappearance, please read the 'Author Letter in the Auxiliary Volume or Note Below!

That's because only one or two of them owned an AP bracelet. They were the cleanest of the pirates in terms of crimes and contracts, making them free from the Queen's chains.

There was no way in hell, those pirates would sign a contract that would put them all in danger.

So, there wasn't any way to make this go away diplomatically unless Felix and the rest were a bunch of morons.

"Guys, who's willing to touch those rocks?" Felix clarified, "I believe the key must be under an illusion so we can only rely on other senses."

"I will do it." Malak said

"Count me in as well." Erik added.

"I have been feeling quite useless the entire time." Jones said firmly, "I will take this task no matter what."

"Me too."

One by one, they agreed to take part in such a risky plan.

Not one of them chickened out. Felix didn't know if this was due to feeling worried that he might get a bad impression of them if they refused or they truly wanted to help.

Whatever it was, he was glad by their agreement.

'You guys don't need to do anything.' Nicci proposed, 'I will be using my vines to touch everything from a safe place.'

'That's even better.' Felix agreed and gestured for the rest to leave the area.

After everyone left, Nicci extended her fingers, allowing each vine to emerge from the tip.

Those vines were slightly different as they had a bulgy tip, appearing like a mace.

Whoosh! Thud Thud!

Nicci used them to strike the walls, the ceiling, and even the ground.

Only the sounds of the vines colliding against them kept echoing in this dimly lighted corridor.

Seconds went by and the squad's agitation began building up after neither the traps activated nor the room's door had been discovered.

Their state of mind merely kept worsening with each failed strike.

'I think it's a bust.' Khodri shook his head.

'Yea, that little shit just had us wasting time here by his lie.' Malissa said

'Did Sir Felix kill him yet?' Khodri asked
