Chapter 313: Lady Fortune
The numbers appeared on the six blood-red marbles.
"9," Adelram said.
"13," Kol said, but it didn't look like he was satisfied with his number.
"16," Pandora said, and she licked her rosy lips.
"9," Gabriel said, and slammed his hands on the table. "I want to be the attacker!"
The table shook, and some of the marbles were about to fall to the floor, but eventually turned around and came back to the center of the table.
"11," the First Sister said with a sad smile.
"19," Adam said, and smirked.
With a look of thrilled happiness, the First Sister looked at Adam. This was really good for them!
"Lucky, aye." Adelram chuckled. "Who will you attack?"
'I'll make a statement. If you dare to attack us, brace for death!' Adam menacingly thought and said. "Adelram, I will attack you!"
"Oh?" Adelram's all three heads smiled.
"Hmph, stupid brat!" Gabriel crossed his arms.
"Bold." Kol rolled his marble in his hand.
Pandora narrowed her gaze with a mysterious smile.
"Throw." Adelram said and tossed his marble to the center of the table.
Adam did immediately the same, and as soon as they clashed at the center of the table, numbers showed up.
"18," Adelram said with a smile.
"14." Adam leaned back on his chair with a smile.
Crack!
Adelram's marble slightly cracked.
"Uh-oh." He laughed. "I lost."
The First Sister clenched her hands tight. This was really good for them!
'Isn't Adam afraid that he will attract all of their attention?' She wondered. 'Or is that what he wants because I already have cracked marble, so that will put their attention away from me?'
She didn't know the truth, but she smiled nevertheless. It felt like they had a small chance of victory!
"Fourth round, throw your marbles!" Adelram shouted.
The six marbles flew to the middle of the table and collided there. Everyone's numbers appeared.
"3," Adelram rubbed the back of his neck.
"17," Kol said with a nod.
"6," Pandora shook her head.
"20," Gabriel stood up and laughed. "Two attacking turns, haha!"
"6..." the First Sister looked at Gabriel in fear. 'Two attacking turns?!!
"10," Adam turned to Gabriel. 'Cursed.'
The eyes landed on Gabriel, and everyone waited for his target.
Gabriel immediately turned his head to Adam and pointed at him. "You broke my snow globe. I'll attack you on both turns!"
'In the first turn, if he loses, he can get damaged, but if he loses his second turn, his marble will stay intact.'
'Right, I forgot about one thing.' The First Sister thought. 'I thought losing a round would cause one to get hurt. I didn't...'
Out of curiosity, she checked her interface, and a frightening scene appeared. She had lost plenty of health!
She was pretty much two attacks away from death!
She then turned to Adam and prayed for his luck to be at the best it was ever going to be.
"Roll your marbles." Adelram said with a smile.
Adam flicked his wrist and tossed the marble to the center of the table. There, it came into contact with Gabriel's marble.
As soon as both marbles stopped, numbers appeared on them.
"16," Adam said.
Gabriel looked at his number and grinded his teeth. "1..."
The First Sister beamed.
Crack... Gabriel's marble cracked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Your luck..." Adelram looked at Adam with a curious smirk. "Is very good today, isn't it?"
"I guess the lady fortune is on my side today." Adam picked up his marble.
"Throw again!" Gabriel shouted. "I'll win this time!"
They tossed their marbles again for Gabriel's second attacking turn.
The two marbles clashed at the center of the table as if they have a feud with each other. With each collision, sparks flew in all directions.
In the end, they came to the stop, and numbers appeared deep inside the blood-red marbles.
"3!" Gabriel gritted his teeth. "No!"
"9." Adam let out a sigh of relief.
SMASH!
Gabriel smashed his hand on the table. If the table wasn't made out of the toughest material
of the universe, it would have shattered into a million pieces.
Since this was Gabriel's second turn of attack, he didn't get hurt.
However, Adam's marble was still in perfect condition.
'Where the hell has this luck been?' Adam wondered with a chuckle.
In every Mad Marble game he'd played, his luck had been horrible. Always he had lost!
He had never won a single game!
That's why he was horrified for this match, but so far, it has been incredibly smooth sailing!
"Time for the fifth round." Adelram said, and as everyone took their marbles, they tossed them to the center of the table.
They came to a stop, and numbers emerged once again.
"15," Adelram chuckled.
"15," Kol raised an eyebrow.
"14," Pandora twirled her hair.
"14," Gabriel gritted his teeth.
"7," the First Sister frowned.
She was wondering what the hell was going on with her luck. She even thought that Adam
must've sucked all the luck out of her!
However.
"1..." Adam looked at the number and had a bad feeling about this.
"Alright, two attackers." Adelram said. "Me, and Kol."
Kol looked at his marble and then said. "You, human girl, I shall attack you."
'It's over...' The First Sister gulped. 'Should I skip? Maybe I should!'
"And I will attack Adam." Adelram chuckled. "Let's see whether your luck can survive this
one!"
"Adam..." The First Sister whispered into his ear. "Should I skip? I should right. If I lose, I am
doomed!"
"Don't." Adam said. "You don't know the future. You and I have still good chances of getting
attacking turns. Save the skip; you will need it."
"A-alright..." The First Sister trusted his judgment.
"We will go first." Kol said and tossed his marble to the center of the table.
The First Sister followed after him and tossed the marble right next to his marble.
When the marbles stopped, numbers emerged.
"15," the First Sister said with a smile.
It was a good score!
She immediately checked Kol's, and as soon as she saw the number, she looked more
depressed than ever.
"18." Kol smiled.
