There is no assurance that what he is doing will be of any use or that he will be rewarded for it. That's another hidden problem. He might just run through the entire challenge with nothing to show for it all because he has his sight set on the divine crown. The only thing he can do is run and stick to running. He can also hope that the golems protecting the crown will kill the person with the crown and retrieve it for him.
The problem of the golems ended pretty well. The crown was thrown away from him and it landed very close to someone else. This person had seen what happened when the first person took the crown. The sight of the horde of golems and the arrows that sailed toward those that are close to the crown discouraged this person from grabbing the crown.
More arrows were fired toward this bystander. They barely survived the hail of sharp arrows and that's when they had chosen to run at the first sight of the crown instead of grabbing it. They would have surely died if they had decided to move closer to the crown.
One of the golems grabbed the crown. The others surrounded this particular golem and escorted it back to their original spot. Then they climbed on top of one another and became a pyramid again. The crown returned to its rightful place at the top of the pyramid as if nothing happened. Only the ones that saw everything that happened know that the pyramids are not as innocent as they look.
This kind of thing happened everywhere in the arena. It turned out that the competitors aren't the only enemies that they have to face in regard to keeping the crown. The number of golems that the pyramids create is constant for all types of crowns l. But the strength, speed, defense, skill, and intelligence of the golems increase drastically the higher the rank of the crown is.
"What do we do now?" Someone asked.
A lot of competitors came out and surrounded a pyramid. They know what will happen if the crown leaves the pyramid. The only way to prevent the pyramids from transforming is to never let the crown leave the boundary of the pyramid. That means whoever has the crown will have to stay on the pyramid while enemies hound them from every side. It will make defending the crown very tedious to do.
Defending the crown on a pyramid as thousands of people rush towards you from every direction is not a one-man business. You will need a group of people to defend you against the onslaught of enemies. Even those with a faction and an army will be hard-pressed to defend a crown on a pyramid. The loss of mobility due to the restraint is critical and will make keeping the crown nearly impossible.
"How about we destroy the pyramid before taking the crown?" Someone suggested.
Another observed, "I have already tried. Whatever makes up the mountain is nearly impossible to destroy unless it becomes golems."
"Even if we could destroy it then we will not be able to get weapons." Someone else interjected.
The competitors didn't know about the golems when the challenge started. They just know that weapons can be acquired by killing monsters. It is in the guidelines that were sent to their brands. Only the last people standing during the previous challenge have weapons so everyone else needs weapons and armor. That means they need to kill the golems as they are the only monsters available in this challenge.
Besides the need for weapons, they also need high scores to qualify for the next challenge. It is obvious that getting any crown, no matter how low its value, is a pipe dream for most of them. The number of crowns cannot satisfy up to 200 out of the millions of competitors.
The rest of them have to be realistic and prioritize their scores. Killing golems will give them marks and improve their chances to qualify for the next challenge. That's the smart decision to make. It is the decision that most of them will make since there are very few who want to be disgraced and sent home disqualified.
Some competitors with feats or some others with confidence want crowns while others want a good score. All the competitors can always check their scores and position so they know how well they are doing. The need for crowns or scores classified the competitors into two major groups. They are the crown chasers and the score chasers.
The different needs and motivations of the different classes of competitors spurred cooperation. They can work together to achieve their aims. Crown chasers need defenders and defenders need scores. So the competitors began to form groups and factions. Crown chasers found score chasers to work with.contemporary romance
There is nothing that says that a person can't be both after scores and crowns. Anyone can do that but it is not realistic. And neither can the two be done very well. One will have to focus on one and give up the other. Take Soverick for example. He is chasing after a crown. All of his time is spent on that instead of killing people for scores.
If he becomes lucky to get a crown. Then he has to make the decision between running to keep the crown or fighting to keep the crown. Fighting to keep the crown will give him scores but it will make it easy for him to be surrounded and overwhelmed. So he might lose the crown because he chose to fight.
It is best to focus on one thing. That will provide a higher chance of success in that thing. But investing all of one's attention on a single thing means that one will get nothing if one fails at it. All of these problems can be solved if one has a group of people to rely on. Hence, the recruitment of score chasers by crown chasers.
