This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Chapter 385 The Arena of All Races!

A few days later, Sanchez and Shadow.Q arrived at Rita's home, one after the other, but were stopped by the electric barrier at the door.

As Nivalis stepped out to open the door, she was holding a 96% strawberry ice cream Rita had made for her. Lately, she had been living the life of a pampered dragon, getting anything she wanted from Rita, and Rita used the highest-quality ingredients, thanks to her [Chaos Kitchen] and [Hundred-Year Legacy].

Nivalis looked at the two with their different colored wings—one like ink spreading in water and the other resembling seaweed. Even though both were made of light, Nivalis still thought Rita's wings were the most beautiful.

Sanchez's short hair had also turned into a dark green shade.

Sanchez spread out her wings and patted them, as if brushing off nonexistent dust. "Long time no see. Is Rita home?"

Nivalis raised an eyebrow. "You're being obvious."

Sanchez covered her mouth with her wings. "Oh, am I?!"

Shadow.Q looked at the interaction and recalled that when she showed off her wings, she didn't act so foolish.

Nivalis said, "She said she'll be here in a minute, she's feeding the cat in the backyard. She also mentioned that you two would arrive today."

As soon as Nivalis finished, Rita appeared. They exchanged brief greetings and immediately formed a party. After drinking their invisibility potions, they set off toward the coast.

Their destination was the 15-level dungeon Rita had found under the sea. Although Shadow.Q and Sanchez were only level 12, with the three of them together, they had no issue handling a level 15 dungeon.

The alien army had begun gathering forces to invade smaller nations. However, the United States had not won completely, as some aliens had infiltrated cities on land. Eclipse Vanguard and the authorities were busy with investigations.

The three of them dove into the water as soon as they arrived at the coast, heading toward their target coordinates.

Each of them wore a bubble shield from Nivalis to allow them to breathe underwater. It was only at this point that Rita asked, "Isn't working with us on the side considered taking a private job instead of collaborating with Eclipse Vanguard?"

Shadow.Q didn't hide anything. "If I stayed with Eclipse Vanguard, I wouldn't get a chance. They're currently investigating all of us who gained the wings of light."

Rita then asked Sanchez, "What about you? Do you have a solution?"

Sanchez carefully approached the energy barrier with the seed in hand. As soon as she brought it near the light, it flew into the shield. The 12 items they had collected now surrounded the dungeon's barrier like a clock's hands.

Suddenly, the purple light turned bright red.

[Congratulations, Blue Star player Sanchez. You have gathered 12 glorious offerings. The Arena of All Races is now open!]

The trio and Nivalis exchanged looks. They all heard the system announcement and realized that the other side of the barrier wasn't what they had expected. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

Sanchez asked, "BS?"

Shadow.Q raised an eyebrow, "Blue Star's stage name?"

Rita pointed at the barrier. "Let's go."

Without hesitation, Rita was the first to enter the red portal, followed closely by Shadow.Q and Sanchez. The portal closed behind them.

They found themselves in a massive gladiatorial arena, nearly four soccer fields in size. The arena was divided into two halves, with a large red energy barrier separating the two sides. A giant countdown appeared on the screen: 100, 99, 98...

With each passing second, a booming drumbeat filled the air, pounding in their hearts, stirring up a primal sense of battle. The atmosphere was charged, as if their blood was boiling, urging them to fight.

All around the arena were seats filled with spectators, and there were at least hundreds of thousands of them.

The three of them stood back-to-back, without hesitation. Even Rita, who never trusted others, and Sanchez, who was used to fighting alone, knew that in their current team mode, they couldn't harm each other with their skills.

Nivalis flew overhead, keeping watch.

Rita immediately checked her equipment and skills to ensure everything was working properly. Once confirmed, she felt relieved.

Suddenly, the seats around them started to fill with figures, virtual avatars of different races. There were purple-skinned aliens, giant bears standing upright, shark-headed humanoid monsters, ghosts, griffins, elves, undead, and sea demons...

Rita's pupils contracted in shock. It was the Arena of All Races!
