1551 Words
Marksman is a type of role that has a high basic attack, dealing damage in a distance. This type is commonly referred to as a basic attack. Marksman is also known for their mobility, keeping their distance to enemy or opponent.
Azure and Khasaki fought in the podium square. It is a one-by-one battle between Azure to Khasaki, Amethyst to Nikki, and Nimrod to Malia.
"Damn, I don't fight women," Nimrod said.
"Are you scared?" Nikki tried him.
"Tsk, forget about that, lets fight!" Nimrod said.
The podium square is drawn to the flat ground. There are three podiums squared in the ground. Amethyst and Nikki heated the fight by staring at each other. While Khasaki seemed to stretch further as Azure was just standing inside the podium.
"Ready to die?" Khasaki said, arrogantly.
Azure smirked, "Try me, I will give you a damn good fight,"
"Then let's do it!" Khasaki said.
Before the battle started, the hologram showed up at the top of them.
---------------------------------
The game will start at 3,2,1….
----------------- -----------------
Azure, Amethyst, and Nimrod pulled out their weapons at once. The sharpness on their weapon is showing the complete capability of killing. While the marksman tries to plan their first attack.
Since Nikki has a crossbow, Milan has a lightweight bazooka, and lastly Khasaki who has a shotgun. They can kill their opponent in long range; the further the easier.
The sharpness of Azure's sword reflected by the sunlight. Khasaki shot him in the foot, but he always avoided it. While Amethyst tried to wrap Nikki's leg with her long chain.
Amethyst sight as she missed at her first attack.
"Oops," Nikki said, teasing her.
"My turn," Nikki smiled and hit Amethyst on the right leg and she was almost hit by her pointed arrow.
"Darn it," Amethyst whispered.
And trying to focus more. Nikki is the fastest of her three companions, Amethyst right leg slight damage as it started to red. The head of her arrow is made of sharped copper.
"Ugh, such a weak," Nikki said. She acted like she was disgusted.
She hit her again, but Amethyst ran and avoided her burning arrow.
"Ow poor you, don't dance, battle fields aren't for dancing," Nikki said, sarcastically.
"Tsk!" Amethyst said.
"Ow, I think you need to surrender," Nikki said, trying to bring her down using her words.
"I'm not here to surrender," Amethyst said, softly.
"Then, why are you here? Because of your boyfriend?" Nikki laughed.
"Yes, because of him, are you bitter?"
"Ooh, I'm touched, but it's so sad Azure's girlfriend is weak," she laughed again.
Amethyst smirked, "Really? Do you think you matter?"
"Yes, I wonder why she invites you here,"
Nikki shoots arrows at a phenomenal speed through Amethyst arms.
Nikki put her palm on her lips and laughed, "Oh gosh, you hit again?"
Amethyst started to piss, her left arm bled and it hurt. She gripped her long chain tightly until it was slowly swallowed by the ice. Nikki had no idea that Amethyst's true strength emerged because she was busy laughing at Amethyst.
Amethyst eyes became frost blue, and the bluish veins drew from her left side whisker to her cheek. Her ice power showed.
Nikki started noticing that Amethyst is now changing from its eyes to her skin color it became bluish white and hair gleamed.
"F*ck, what's happening to her," she whispered.
Amethyst is uncontrolled, her power is powerful, but she can't control it for now. She can overuse it. They all stopped fighting as Amethyst floated in the middle of the podium as his long chain arched around her.
"She's uncontrollable now," Azure whispered.
Amethyst controlled her long chain covered by ice. She can manipulate ice using her body and her long chain. The ice and her long chain emerge. She targeted Nikki from her arms too, and she hit it perfectly.
"Ugh!" Nikki groaned.
"So cold! The air is cold enough to rip someone's lungs to shreds," Amethyst said.
She sounds like soft, cold weather. Their whole podium started to frost and Nikki could feel it. She's trying to concentrate to hit it with her burning arrow but she was paranoid.
Amethyst hit her again using her long chain, but it's getting stronger and stronger. Azure became worried because he knows the power of ice is uncontrollable now for Amethyst because she's not been able to control it yet.
Nikki's hand is shaking while positioning herself to hit her. But Amethyst hit her bow, and it dropped to the frost ground.
"The hell!"
She followed with a look as its crossbow slid to frost ground that Amethyst made.
Amethyst went down again to the frost ground that she made. Her frost blue eyes didn't change. She swifely walked towards Nikki's crossbow and kicked it out of the podium squared.
"Are you scared?" Amethyst asked, while walking toward her.
"W-what! You? No! No way!" Nikki denied, but it's too obvious.
As Amethyst got closer and closer to her, she couldn't help but back away. In Nikki's mind, this woman can't beat me, no f *cking way!
"One rule," Amethyst said, seriously.
"Never step back, you might regret it," Amethyst said seriously and hit her in her feet so it went further backwards and fell from the platform.
Nikki was now sitting at the ground outside the podium line. She is defeated by Amethyst, who now falls from the frost ground.
"Amethyst!" Azure said, but he can't go outside.
Nikki stood up and walked towards her arrow. She took it and spoke, "Stop this battle, let's go,"
"Why?" Malia asked.
"Just! Just! Let's go!" she said.
The podium line vanished. Azure quickly ran towards Amethyst, her skin and everything back to normal.
"Amethyst, hey," he tried to wake her up.
Nimrod approached them too, "It's fine, she just need to rest,"
"I know but-" Azure worried.
"She's fine, I never thought that she's strong," Nikki said.
Azure looked at her, "I know,"
"Let's go," Nikki said to her team.
"That's it? I don't even sweat," Nimrod said, chuckling.
"Bollocks, let's go," Azure said and carried Amethyst to his back.
"Who's Bollocks?" Nimrod asked.
It's supposed to be him, but he didn't get it.
"Did I say that?", Azure denied.
"What the hell man, I heard bollocks,"
"Tsk, you're hallucinating," Azure said.
Nimrod scratch its head, "But, I heard bollocks,"
Azure chuckled secretly because Bollocks is another word for s**t. Amethyst is in his back while they are walking, and finding the place to rest at. Luckily, they quickly found lodging.
Two hours left before they return to the real world while Nimrod has one hour left. It was raining. A soft, silvery drizzle sifted down out of the night sky and wreathed around the blocky watchtowers of the village of Cimmeria, hissing in the torches on each side of the broad gate and making the stones of the road leading up to the village shiny and black.
The little rain falling from the sky is making them chill at the same time. Amethyst is now trying to stand up, but Azure stopped her.
"Just rest for a while," he said.
"Where are they?" she asked.
"Don't mind it, just relax," he said.
"O-okay," she said, and lay down properly.
The place where they stayed was just a simple old house, they just gave the landlord 15 coins. Amethyst is getting well minute by minute because she just tired because she immediately used her power.
Amethyst is trying to sleep but she can't, Azure is sitting beside her. Amethyst was lying on the thick blanket just spread out on the floor. They didn't look for a good place to stay, Azure just thought that as long as Amethyst could rest, it would be okay. Though the exterior of the house has suffered many winters and storm seasons, the old wooden floor has been sheltered inside. It still bears the characteristic hues of American walnut, dull, but in a way more beautiful than any engineered product could be. It is a woodland dream that we have the pleasure to walk on, its colours soothing before the red glows of the hearth.
Nimrod approached them as he entered the old small house. He walked around earlier. This village seems to be too old.
"Azure, people seem to struggle here, it is still dark, and it is raining outside," he said as he joined him sitting on the floor.
"Yeah, I also noticed earlier, before the rain is falling," he said.
"I'm about to leave here after 30 minutes," Nimrod said.
Nimrod log-in to the game first, so he will also be the first to leave and back in the real world. They could not tell each other that Azure looks like Sky, and Nimrod looks like Hunter. They can't do that because the creator of the game strictly forbids anyone to mention anything in the game connected to the real world.
"We leave after 1 hour, and 20 minutes," Azure said.
"Almost in a row, by the way, it looks like you're used to the game?" Nimrod examined it.
"Slightly," he said, humbled.
"Slight?" Nimrod did not believe him.
"Yeah, why? Do I look professional?" he asked, seriously.
"Hmm, yeah, but I'm greater than you," Nimrod proudly said.
