Chapter 308 – Tournament – Part 3.
["Ding dong!"]
["Hello everybody!"]
["You probably had guessed it why I'm back and that right!"]
["The red timer had just hit zero!"]
["The server is now fully locked and all players that had not logged back in time had now been eliminated from the match, but don't worry, your teams won't be instantly eliminated."]
["Anyway, with the red timer now gone, it is finally time to start the show!"]
["Let me repeat the rules for all those who wasn't here or had not read anything."]
["There will be multiple copies of the same map with each one contain teams 25 teams."]
["The goal is to reduce the number of these teams down to 5 and these remaining teams will be the only ones who will be allowed to participant in the finals."]
["The team will be only consider eliminated when the last member of the said team will be eliminated."]
["The borders around the map will close and shrink, but not from the get go."]
["Players will be given both the map that shows their current location, as well as their teammates, The players will be also able to see in the menu how many teams and players are left as well as other stuff."]
["And that is all!"]
["So, lets start the game? Shall we?"] – said the W.W as she snapped her fingers and moments later the players body started being surrounded by the light.
[You are being teleported.]
["Well then, good luck!"]
The players began getting teleported out of the map, before the getting instantly transported to the battle royal map.
Doctor alongside his team had also arrived on the map where they found themselves in the ruined castle.
[Team: Helmet]
"…Huh… So, everybody is here?" – asked Arthur after getting teleported.
"By the looks of things, yea." – replied Mordred as he walked around, while carrying around an cannon like gun.
"…. By the look of things, we teleported in the area around the center of the map." – said Hunter as she opened up the map.
"The borders won't be catching up to us anytime soon."
"So what do we do? Are we moving or are we staying here?" – asked Stone.
"Hm…. I think we should just stay here for now and don't exhaust ourselves for no reason. Players will come to us so we can easily set up and ambush and take them down." – said Arthur.
"What do you think?"
"…"
"I'm fine with this." – replied Doctor and Mara at the same time.
"…"
"…" – the two looked at each other for moment, before then looking back at Arthur.
"…Anyway, Hunter." – said Doctor.
"Yea?" – replied Hunter.
"Can you go scout around? If you find something, please contact us." – said Doctor.
"On it." – replied Hunter before then diving into the shadows.
"…"
"Well then."
(What should I do now? Should I summon my monsters and cover up the area?) – though Phantasia.
(But if I were to do that, we could end up getting unwanted attention in turn.)
"…"
"Hm…"
"Say, do you want to fight or defend? I can summon my monsters to fill out some numbers for us, but they will definitely provoke players to attack us."
"Hm…. No. If possible don't do it. We don't want to fight pointless fights and its better if we only focus on the strong ones." – said Arthur.
"Okay."
"…"
"…"
"That it?" – replied Mordred.
"?"
"What?" – asked Doctor.
"No…. Well… I though you would be more wild or something? I mean, you do destroy everything and pretty much…. Well, I though you would just run off on your own and go berserk or some shit." – said Mordred.
"…."
"Well, if you want me to go wild, then here. [Summon]." – Doctor began summoning several brown toy bears.
"…"
"Em…. What are those?" – asked curios Gra as she got on her knees to inspect the toy.
"Are these the toy monsters thing you make? But they look like normal toys." – said Gro as she picked up one of the bears.
"Well yea, they are monsters." – replied Doctor.
"Specifically, and suicidal bomb monsters that has plague gas inside of them."
"…"
Gra and Gro looked bit scared at the Doctor, before then they both put down the fluffy toys bears down and then backed away from them.
"…. Em… Is it safe? I mean the plague?" – asked Mora.
"Don't worry about it." – said Doctor.
"I made sure that the plague wouldn't affect any of you, meaning that you don't need to worry about getting infected."
"So- "
"Go my children! And fuck shit up!" – said Doctor as the fluffy bears began marching and leaving the castle grounds.
[Few moments later.]
"There! Don't let them fucking escape!" – shouted the orc player as he rushed in alongside the two goblin players, rushing at the elven player with blue hair as he put up an barrier of water to defend himself.
"Heh. Do you really- "
The three players suddenly jumped away from the elf, before then two giant rocks came flying, breaking the elf barrier and hitting the elf, before then sending him flying.
"!"
"Shit! Help him!" – shouted the elf teammates as they rushed in to help the elf, only for two of them to get blocked and hold off by the orc player, while the two assassin goblins rushed in and attacked the third player, killing him.
"!"
(SHIT! FUCKING RANDOM ASS TEAMATES!) – though annoyed elf as he got up and used water magic to heal himself.
"?!"
Elf quickly dodged the attack as the two lizardman mages were firing an barrage of the sharp rocks at him that demolished the trees, forcing the elf player to quickly deploy another [Extra Water Barrier] to defend himself.
"!" – the elf player watched as his teammates were getting slaughtered.
(FUCK! THESE RANDOMS ARE WAY WORSE THAN I HAD THOUGH! THEY ARE GETTING SLAUGHTERED!) - though pissed off elf player.
(I though they would be able to at least fucking hold off, but no! They are getting killed easily!)
(Screw it! I'm abandoning them! They will only slow me down.)
(But first-)
"Healer! Heal me already! What are you waiting for?!" – shouted elf player.
"!"
"Y-yes!" – said the human player as she rushed towards the elf.
"?"
"?!"
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! HEAL ME ALREADY!" – shouted the elf player after realizing that the human player suddenly stopped.
"Em…. There…. Did you always had an bear cosmetic on you?" – asked the female player as she saw an fluffy bear, attached to the elf back.
"?"
"What are you- "
The blew suddenly blew up, blowing up the elf back, before then releasing an thick yellow smoke everywhere that spread everywhere.
"…"
"Em…That wasn't us…. Right?" – asked the earth mage lizardman.
"Nope…. It wasn't…. What is that on your leg?" – asked the second mage as he saw the bear toy hugging his friend leg.
Moment later, the second bear blew up, hitting the mages and confusing all the players in the area.
However, it wasn't just these two teams that were being attacked, it was the entire map.
The innocent looking bears spread around the map, looking around for the players and once they found one, they blew up, spreading the mist of the plague around that started covering the entire map with plague.
Panic instantly spread around and some players tried curing themselves, but here was an problem.
Other players were enemies and they were also infecting each other, meaning that getting rid of the plague status was one thing, but another was getting infected once again.
Some players tried stopping fighting among themselves, while some others didn't cared and tired continue fighting, or we too confused to the point they didn't stopped fighting.
"…"
"Jezus. The entire map turned chaotic almost instantly once the first bear exploded." – said Coin as she gotten down from the tower and reunited with her team.
"Damn…. This is really shitty…. Do you always do things this way?" – said Mordred who didn't knew what to say as he looked around with telescope, observing as the plague mist spread everywhere.
"Meh. Pretty much." – replied Doctor.
"Anyway, Hunter. Any preys?" – asked Doctor as he took out communication device.
"Yea, there are." – said Hunter as she emerged from the shadows.
"3 teams are heading here together, they seems to had formed an alliance."
"By the look of things, they want the castle."
"…. Huh. So, we are finally getting some action?" – said Mara as she took out her two spears from the inventory.
"How long until they reach this place?"
"Pretty soon." – replied Hunter.
"They were running at full speed towards here, probably to avoided any plague mists spreading everywhere."
"All 30 members of that alliance seems also be alive."
"Huh. So, 30 players from get go?" – said Doctor.
"Make sense. Even though people don't know that we are here, they would still team up against us since we have an solid line up." – said Arthur.
"So, it was just matter of time before we would have to deal with multiple teams."
"So what? Are you scared?" – asked Doctor.
"…No. If anything, this is perfect chance to show off, isn't it?" – replied Arthur.
"…. Yeb." – replied Doctor while opening his monster mask mouth.
"So how about we all show each other what we got and try to become "real friends"?"
