Chapter 292 - 293 – First Tournament – Second Phase: Battle Royal – Part 6.
[Meanwhile – Shri.]
"Hm…." – Shri travel on the ground while using her giant ant as a mount.
(The safe zone moved even closer to the center of the map by the look of things.) – though Shri while looking at the map.
"?"
Shri noticed something and instantly pointed at the nearby tree for two of her demon sword tailed lizards to attack.
The two giant monster quickly rushed at the tree and swinged their sword tail at the tree cutting it down and forcing the player that was hiding behind it to dodge and get out from his hiding spot in order not to get cut down.
However, before the player realized Shri whip went straight for the man and moments later the whip had completely decapitated the man head with ease.
"…."
'Sig'
"Really?"
(I haven't been running anybody strong or anything like that… Only weaklings.) – though Shri.
(I mean, sure. Its good and all. I will be able to get to the finals pretty easily.)
(But common. At least make it bit interesting or something.)
"?"
"What is this time?"
Shri turned around after hearing the sound of the several explosions going on in the distance as well as the sound of the trees getting torn to shreds.
"…"
"Finaly." – said Shri while getting off her ant after realizing that the sound was coming close and close to her.
The sound of the trees breaking apart could be heard coming closer and closer with each second until the tree in Shri vision finally broke.
Shri stared excited, until she realized something was off.
The girl flew alongside the lance that had pierced right through her stomach before then hitting the tree and dying.
"?" – Shri had bit confused look on her face after witnessing the brutal girl of the female player.
"Hm?"
"Oh, hey Shri!" – said Rampage who suddenly rushed onto the scene out of nowhere.
"!" – Shri quickly turned around and saw Rampage.
"Rampage? What the are you doing here?" – asked Shri while approaching Rampage.
"Hunting." – said Rampage while walking towards the impaled corpse and then retrieving her lance.
"With my vampiric powers, hunting like this benefits me way more than just waiting around until people kill each other."
"Speaking of with."
"Did you by any chance saw a bastard looking monk guy who controls lighting and calls him Tentacle Lord?" – asked Rampage while turning towards Shri.
"Em…. No?" – replied Shri.
"Shit…. If you see that bastard, then rip his balls out for me." – said Rampage.
"He fuking escaped me with a teleportation skill and was on the run."
"I honestly want to murder him myself…. Don't know. If you find him without alarming him, give me the info and I will deal with him personally."
"Well… Okay?" – replied Shri.
"But anyway, I have now question for you."
"Did you run into somebody at least strong or somebody that can at least bite? I had honestly run into weaklings that are getting easily devoured by my monsters without putting much resistance."
"Huh? Really?" – said surprised Rampage.
"I had run into few strong guys already that could bite."
"…Really? Like not "strong" weak guys?" - asked Shri.
"Nope. They were pretty decent. But still, the difference in strength was too much and they couldn't do much against my defense in the first place, so even if they did little bit damage, it honestly was next to nothing for me." – said Rampage.
(True.) – though Shri.
(Rampage regeneration is quite high and thanks to her special vampire classes, she has even greater regeneration and self-healing power.)
(Honestly, I don't know if I can beat her right now…. Shit.)
(I'm getting way stronger monsters and everything, but it's not enough!)
(GreyHunt that bastard as well.)
(When we fought before he had easily overpowered me and all of my monsters all by himself as well as defeated us all with ease.)
(My monsters are not pushovers!)
(They are getting powerful passive and active buffs from me and all of my monsters aren't some common monsters but rare ones instead if not extremely rare ones.)
(I'm not weak or anything like that and I know it…. But there is also our boss ClownFrog. I know for 100% I have zero chance of beating him. He is straight up demon lord right now.)
(Honestly, I know these three are stronger than me, but I honestly wonder how many "Monster" players are out there exactly?)
(Is there anybody stronger than us out there or something?)
(I'm more curios about that instead of becoming stronger….)
(But I honestly want to fight strong people. I want to test out my limits and see how really strong I'm and stuff….)
"Hm…."
"Honestly speaking, I want to fight somebody strong myself…. And I would like for us to split up…... But I think its better if we team up." – said Shri
"Team up? Like you want to go around together?" – asked Rampage.
"Yea. Honestly, I agree with hunting the whole players stuff, but what if you end up running into somebody strong?" – said Shri.
"Don't forget our objective. All six of us need to try and get to the finals at least."
"I know you are strong. Probably stronger than me right now. But the problem is that you may end up into something that may give you some trouble."
"Besides."
"In the finals we will definitely fight somebody extremely strong that may give us a little challenge!"
"…."
"True." – said Rampage.
"If we team up together, we will be able to hunt players more easily and reduce their numbers way faster."
"…. Fuck it. Let's do it."
"Good…. Wait…. Shit." – said Shri suddenly.
"?"
"What's up?" – asked Rampage.
"No…. Well, I just thought about something that should have been obvious from the start if you think about it." – said Shri.
"Weak players will definitely team up."
"But what about the strong players like us?"
"!"
"Are you saying that some stronger bastards had same idea like us?" – asked Rampage.
"Yea. This was quite obvious honestly and we are quiet stupid for not realizing that." – replied Shri.
"Especially now."
"Many players will definitely spot some stronger monsters among the players and decide to team up if not had already did that."
"For example ClownFrog could be possible target of the several strong players, since he is known for being straight up "Demon Lord" like bastard."
"…. Are you saying we should team up with the others?" – asked Rampage.
"Nah." – said Shri.
"Honestly, we cannot go around looking for them, since we need to watch out for our own safety since we are ourselves some big targets."
"Blueberry, Oron, GreyHunt and ClownFrog. Each of those bastards should manage on their own."
"And as for us? We will be going around hunting people, so its better if we stick together."
"True… Going together will still benefit our plan…..."
"Well then, now that we somewhat organized our thoughts, shall we move out and hunt some infortune bastards?" – asked Rampage while having an evil smile on her face.
"Lead the way." – said Shri while also giving an evil smile.
Rampage and Shri had teamed up in order to hunt down any players on their way.
However, while the two girls had started their hunt, another action was currently taking place somewhere else.
Two players were traveling across empty village.
"…. Say… This isn't some hunted shit, right?" – asked the black masked player.
"…. What?" – asked the female lizardman player.
"No…. Well…. Those houses look completely fine and everything…. But it kind of feels like people just mysteriously disappeared and stuff."
"…. Please don't say creep stuff like that… Besides. They did stated that there would be no wild monsters or traps on the map. So- "
Before the lizardman player could finish speaking, both players heads were suddenly shot right through, killing both of the players via headshot explosion caused by the projectiles.
"…."
(Two more down.) – though GreyHunt while revealing himself from the stealth.
(They plan was nice, by setting up the traps and pretending to be bait.)
(But they probably didn't though of the fact that they can be still sniped from afar.)
(Anyway, with them gone, the traps they had set up with their skills and items should soon fade away if not had already.)
(Still…. There are bastard like them in the mix, huh?)
(Pretend to be weak in order to catch off the opponent off guard.)
(Still, their plan failed since they didn't realized that somebody was already observing them.)
(….)
(Somebody is coming.)
GreyHunt quickly activated another stealth type skill before hiding nearby.
"…."
"?"
(Oh… That is interesting.)
GreyHunt observed as the man wearing red robes alongside the several dark elementals as well as an knight looking monsters made out of the dark energy.
The man alongside his monsters had entered the village while GreyHunt was checking out who he was.
From the observation GreyHunt was able to tell that the man that was leading the monsters was a simple looking man with short black hair and brown eyes.
But even with his simple appearance, GreyHunt realized who the man really was after observing him.
(Well, well, well.)
(Would you look at that.)
(I honestly wasn't expecting to run into him or the other guy from his rival guild, but here he is.)
(Deven.)
[Vice guild master of the Red Lions – Deven]
The man looked around carefully, trying to spot any enemy. However, he himself did not hid or anything like that and instead just walked around in the village without the care about the world, as if he was waiting for the enemy to come to him.
(….)
(Huh… I wasn't expecting this at all, but just look at here.)
(The vice guild master of the Red Lions had suddenly appeared.)
(I guess I'm quiet lucky, huh?)
(This is perfect.)
(Boss said that we should crush the Red Lions and the Scarlet Gryphons if we have an opportunity in order to give them warning not to mess with us.)
(But I wasn't really expecting to run into the vice guild master of one of the enemy guilds in here.)
(Oh… Things are finally starting looking interesting!)
