Chapter 309 – Tournament – Part 4.
"Dammit! What the hell is going on?" – said the female dark elf in hood as she and the other players rushed towards the ruined castle nearby.
"These toys bears… They are definitely Doctor monsters! Dammit! That means that this fucker is here!" – said the dark elf player in hood that was also carrying an bow.
"So should we avoid the fucker?" – asked the big player in full body armor that was also carrying an great sword.
"Well, I would really want that guy dead, but look around! There is plague everywhere!" – said the orc player with two shields, if we- "
"!"
"[DEFEND ONE]!" – the orc with two shields leaped in front of the dark elf group of players and then instantly activated the [Great Wall], creating an barrier shield that took on the blast of giant necrotic skull that completely destroyed the wall, damaging the orc who tried defending himself.
"…Huh. He blocked it. I guess these guys aren't some random trash by the looks of things." – said Doctor as he smacked the tree away, creating an pathway for himself and revealing himself to the group of players.
"!"
"Oh shit! We run into the fucker…. Wait! He is alone!" – shouted the giant player.
"Alone? Nah." – replied Doctor as the rest of his team showered up.
"…Well, do you- "
Before Doctor could finish speaking, Mara rushed in and stabbed one of the dark elf players in the hood in the neck with her spear.
"?!
"MARCEL!" – shouted the female dark elf player as she and other dark elf player tried attacking Mara, who then had her body cut into pieces with khopeshes.
But-
"?!"
"The hell?!" – said the female dark elf as Mara body collapses, turning into mist, before then starting to move around on its own and then Mara re-manifested from it right behind the female dark elf, stabbing in the head and heart, killing her.
"!"
(Oh? Mist magic? Its not quiet popular magic.) – though Phantasia as he saw Mara using the mist and shield, blocking the giant's great sword, before then leaping away.
However, the second giant with great sword managed to get behind her and tried attacking her, but before the attack could land, Arthur rushed in and easily knocked back the sword alongside the giant, pushing them all back.
"Really? I mean really?" – said angry Arthur.
"You are doing this shit again?"
"Shut it. I can take them all on my own."
"Well, this is an team play, so how about we fight together?"
"…"
Mara did not replied as she charged back, starting fighting once again.
"Oh, for the love… Mordred." – said Arthur.
"Yea, yea, I got it." – said Mordred as he aimed at the one of the giant with his gun, firing an giant blast of energy that knocked down one of the giant on the ground.
"…. Damn. You really know how to make bullshit weapon." – said impressed Mordred as he turned towards Doctor.
"Well, I hope you liked it, dear costumer." – said Doctor before he then started running towards the third group of players that consisted of humans that started summoning undeads and demons to their side.
However, Doctor just swinged around his arm, hitting and sending undeads and demons flying, before then quickly running towards one of the summoners.
"Wh- "– the summoner was instantly crushed by the Doctor giant fist, instantly getting turned into pancake right in front of his teammates.
In panic they blasted Doctor with dark and necrotic magic….. But that didn't even fazed him as he just swinged around his claws, killing two mages instantly.
Afterworlds, the other players of the team 3 tried attacking, but none of their attacks were doing anything, as the Doctor just cut and smashed them into pieces.
While Doctor was destroying the humans, the Arthur went around, blocking each and every attack of the giants attacks while also dodging and countering the orc archers bow strikes that were strong enough to demolish trees.
"…"
"Wow…. They are just monsters, aren't they?" – said Coin as she saw Doctor and Arthur straight up dominating the enemy with ease on their own.
"Mara is also going on the rampage as well; the dark elves can't even hit her….. Honestly, it does kind of feel like we are not needed here."
"Stop whining." – said Hunter.
"Even though they may not need us, we still should help here and there in order for our forces to not get exhausted for no good reason." – said Hunter before rushing towards Mara and swinging her scythe, cutting off heads of two dark elves.
"…Hey. They were my kills." – said Mara.
"Yea, yea. Team fight and stuff. Just focus on killing." – said Hunter as she rushed in, forcing Mara to also take action and rush in.
….
It was an 30 vs 10 fight, but even so it was an one sided slaughter.
Arthur, Mara, Hunter and Doctor, all of them had more than enough strength to wipe all 30 players on their own, an overkill in their own way.
However, they didn't wanted to waste any time and so it didn't even took minutes and they all just went in.
All 30 players that worked together, instantly wiped out.
"…"
"Tch. I though they would be somewhat interesting, but I guess the only orc guy with two shields was good, rest of them were too weak." – said Doctor.
(Still, I got to say, that Mara and Arthur are really strong.)
(Mara must have some classes that focuses on mist type magic and stuff. She was also assassin type; she took down enemies with one strike.)
(The same goes to Arthur. He had enough power to overpower giants wielding great weapons.)
(Hell, his basic skills were enough to take them all down and the giants are one of the species that has high physical power and high defense.)
(They also wore heavy armor, but he was able to cut them down easily.)
(As for the rest…. Honestly I didn't paid attention to them, since Mara and Arthur were the only standing out right now…. But I'm quiet interested to see what they got.)
"Anyway, are we going back to the castle?" – asked Doctor.
"Yea, there will be more players showing up, so suggest that we should return there." – said Mara as she started walking back towards the castle without waiting.
"…"
"Hey. Question. Why are you not spreading plague around the castle?" – asked Coin as the group began walking back towards the castle.
"Because I can't infect you." – said Doctor.
"My plagues needs to latch onto something in order to stay alive, just like real plagues and diseases."
"And since you are immune, you won't be infecting other people."
"I can spread around the gas, but that it. The gas would disappear on its own."
"And I also don't want to waste it like willy-willy and stuff."
"Anyway, the player count are already dropping and the team count is also dropping." – said Doctor as he looked at his menu.
"I guess the plague was just an kick we needed to start things off."
"The players will murder each other, infect each other nonstop and run into each other while trying to avoid infection."
"…"
"So does that mean we won't have to fight at all anymore?" – asked Stone as the group re-entered the castle grounds.
"Maybe, but it depends if there are any smart people or people that can easily deal with debuffs." – said Doctor as the group arrived at the throne room and then sat down.
"So, it's not like we are out of the waters yet…. Besides. The team count says 17. Meaning that that only 8 teams had been eliminated so far."
"He s right. We also don't know who else is in here with us. We maybe encounter an team that is fully made out of rankers or- "
"About that, there is already another team coming this way." – said Hunter as she emerged from the shadows.
"Wait, already? We just wiped 3 teams just now." – said Stone.
"Well, this is battle royal, so we should had expected that…. Anyway, who are we looking at?" – asked Coin.
"…. Ranker guild I recognize." – said Hunter.
"Hunting Wolves."
"!"
(Zeus guild?!) – throughout Phantasia.
(Damn. I haven't seen him…. Well, like ever. Every since that whole Rose Tower incident.)
(We did kept some contact and I had sold him some weapons….. But the questions is regarding our relationship…. Since a lot of people are probably aware of my two identities.)
(And considering the two different relationships he and I have…..)
"…"
"Sorry, Arthur, but I'm going to ask you to sit this one out." – said Doctor.
"Hunting Wolf guild is my deal."
"…"
"Very well." – said Arthur as he sat down.
"Eh? Since when is he calling the shots?" – aside Mordred.
"Just let him do his own thing." – replied Arthur.
"…Thanks." – replied Doctor.
"…"
"Boss. Something is off." – said the Hunting Wolf guild member.
"This area is too quiet and its not infected with the plague mist…"
"…"
"Keep your guard up. This looks like an big ass trap." – said Zeus as the group arrived in front of the castle.
"Because it is." – said the voice from above before moments later an giant flew down and hit the ground, alarming the group as they got ready to fight.
"…. Wait… YOU!" – said Zeus.
"…"
"Hello Zeus. Long time no see." – said Doctor.
