Remaining players: 97.
Autumn Deer and JE had both been eliminated, yet Uncharted Star Sea granted them the treatment of victors.
Players began whispering among themselves. They discussed Autumn Deer's execution strike and JE's "Oasis," the long history between the Mountainbound and the wind whales. Everyone could see that Autumn Deer had helped JE at the end.
A system announcement echoed through the sky.
"Player Among Antlers Autumn Deer and Tingo JE have both declined the victory reward."
Rita frowned.
"If it's a draw, shouldn't the victory reward be canceled automatically?"
The only reason this hadn't caused chaos was because Autumn Deer and JE had such a complicated relationship, enemies and friends at once. Otherwise both the Mountainbound and the wind whales might have been executed.
Maple Syrup said coolly, "This is Uncharted Star Sea. I'm sure it has some touching justification for doing it this way."
The sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable.
But no one argued.
