Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 240

'One battle of five, three battles of threes, five battles of twos,' Kyle thought.

Before a fight, both teams received a list with the roles of the five chosen combatants of the other team, and they had to decide how they preferred to fight.

A single battle of five people versus five people.

Three battles of teams of three with pauses between the battles.

Five battles of teams of two with no pauses between the battles.

Like this, teams had different avenues to victory.

A team with Fighters and Knights would prefer drawn-out battles, which were the rapid-fire two-versus-twos.

Knights could quickly recover their Ether due to their strengthened Center, and their bodies gave them quick physical recovery.

Meanwhile, if a Sorcerer, Beast Master, Artificer, Conjurer, or someone like that got injured in battle one, they were almost useless in the next battles.

Sorcerers, for example, preferred quick team fights of five-versus-five.

They could unleash all of their destructive potential.

To achieve victory, a team had to specialize in two of these three kinds of fights due to how it was decided which one would take place.

Exploding Aegis specialized in three-versus-three and five-versus-five fights.

It was clear that their enemy was perfect for two-versus-two fights, but that didn't matter.

"As discussed," Kyle said.

Michael nodded.

Then, he marked the star column for the five-versus-five, marked the checkmark column for three-versus-three, and marked the x column for two-versus-two.

Star meant that they wanted this kind of battle the most.

Checkmark meant that they were fine with it.

An X meant that they did not want that.

Both teams had to use one of every column.

As long as any team put an x in one kind of fight, this fight would not happen.

80% of the time, the teams fought in the category they were fine with.

After filling out the form, Michael handed it back to the guard, who left.

"So, it's either going to be three-versus-three or five-versus-five," Kyle said.

Michael nodded. "It will be five-versus-five."

"Are you sure?" Kyle asked.

"We have enough time to recover our Ether between rounds," Michael said. "They won't fight us in the three-versus-three fights. At least, not with this lineup."

Kyle was not completely sure how the lineup of the two teams related to this specific case.

'Seems pretty even to me,' Kyle thought. 'In fact, if I were in their shoes, I would prefer the three-versus-three battles. But these are professionals. They do this for a living. He probably sees things I don't.'

Sure enough, after a couple of minutes, one of the guards walked in and told them that the teams had agreed on a five-versus-five match.

'As expected, he was right,' Kyle thought. 'Strange. I would think that three Assassins would win against three Sorcerers or two Sorcerers and a Juggernaut.'

After the message, everyone waited for a couple more minutes.

Then, the door opened again, and a powerful Fighter wearing expensive armor walked in.

Based on his aura, he had to be a Peak Fighter.

"Hello, my name is Helius, and I am going to be your referee for today," the Fighter spoke politely.

As the captain, Michael greeted him.

"The other team has requested a deathmatch. Do you accept?" Helius asked.

At that moment, the mood worsened dramatically.

It was possible to request a deathmatch, but both teams needed to agree. Otherwise, killing someone from the other team would have dire consequences.

But during a death match, everything was fair game.

Most of the time, requesting a death match was used as a psychological attack.

Nobody wanted to risk their lives without some big reward.

However, winning a death match wouldn't grant them more rewards or more renown.
