Chapter 40: Little rabbits
1925 Words
On the central park where the eliminated players go and became spectators. Players remained speechless seeing how much destruction one player can do.
Currently appearing on the screen was Assault with her rampage. Just alone she nearly defeated one guild of high leveled players.
Terror and admiration were written on their face as they watched. The calamitous gameplay.
“She’s killing them one by one without taking any damage. She even killed someone with just her bare hands… Such strength.”
“How many did she eliminate already?”
“It's about 45, but she eliminated them with her insane movements. It's entertaining and also horrifying at the same time.”
“I agree to that.”
“That’s still small compared to the earth-splitting attack the demon king Kaede made… The demon king is surely powerful with her four knights… But other players are worth watching.”
“There is this witch girl that controls hundreds of teams. With mere number alone she can overpower anyone in a fight. She is been called the commander.”
“I also, saw it before I was eliminated. Apparently, she is a very wealthy person that hired lots of players to help her win the game event.”
“She is cute, stepping on me as payment is fine. I have dreamed of lolita stepping on me.”
“Are still good in you’re head? Speaking of another player. A moving fortress and a powerful mage are on the west side of the island…”
“Let's just watch these other two cute girls. They are so cute and small look at them. Apparently, they already killed 50 players on their own.”
“Yua and Himari.”
“If they keep it up. There a huge chance that they will win this one, too!”
The players were talking about the new rookie players known for a certain style of attack.
…
The two said girls are now crawling down on the Savannah area located in the northern part of the battle island.
Player named Yua. She is a middle schooler like Kaede. Equipped with a dark forest color robe and a military camouflage beneath. On her hand was and UZI and on her waist was a laser sword.
Behind her, crawling was Himari equipped with the same outfit.
“Himari, I advance 100 meters. No sign of the enemy.”
“It's a good thing for us. While we're hiding players keep on decreasing.”
“That’s true, but I would like to go aggressive if possible.”
Crawling HImari goes beside Yua.
“I feel like a cockroach crawling through the kitchen. Though there aren’t cockroaches in Hokkaido…So where are we now?”
Yua opened her menu and goes to the map section checking the map and how small it became.
“I think we're in a safe zone there are almost no players appearing yet. We can't go running around, it would be dangerous to take a detour… The map is shrinking and it is better to go to the center before it was too late… Look there are only 245 players left if we keep going there’s a huge chance of us entering the top 20 and participate in the Summer cup.”
Yua said.
Himari looks up to the sky with a bored look in her eyes. As a player waiting is probably one of the most irritating things they ever faced. But she can’t do anything about it. If she gets up and reveals herself. She mostly to stand out and got hit by multiple attacks in different directions.
That is the main reason, these two girls are crawling in the grassland.
“That many? I really like 1,000,000 yen too… Let's go and visit the beach if we win this event.”
Yua grinned briefly and nods.
“Yup.”
“Activate skill Area scan!”
Himari used her skill and noticed a group of players already flocking around them. On her map, the three teams appeared in red small dots. There is one team in front of them and two on both sides. They didn’t know if they are all on the same team or not.
One thing is sure.
They are all enemies.
“Sometimes we can’t trust our naked eyes.”
While both girls are chatting with each other. Magic and arrows were fired in a different direction. Few inches upward, Yua’s head is nearly hit by a flying magic attack. The two girls immediately ducked their heads down.
“Magic is launch from the head and other from the left. About 200 meters from here. They are not targeting us.”
“Then, they are fighting with each other! Wipe each other out! That helps us!”
“Strange something is off. There is something odd with the attacks and magic being fire.”
“What’s that?”
Turning their heads on the map. Yua figures it out.
“I got it! This is a trap… The teams here are working with each other… Maybe, they thought there was a chance a player will come here… Or maybe, they already sensed us and decided to fire magic to intimidate us.”
“Yua is really smart… I love you! I love you! But how did you figure it out?”
“All that gunfire is coming from the same direction at the same distance. It's too unnatural. The only thing I can come up with is that they’re all firing from the same direction position.”
“You sure do have sharp ears… So what do we do? Sneak up on the enemy from behind and attack?”
“If we keep going like this we’ll be caught on their net in no time. I don’t want to take such risk.”
“Roger… I guess that’s the best way.”
Yua crawl a bit faster than before going forward and said.
“I’m going to take a slight detour to the right. Give me a signal, please.”
“Okay, About 100 meters ahead, right?”
While Yua is crawling a party of four players was already coming on their way to get them. Yua was freaked out for a second and composed herself immediately.
“Himari! Subtract 30 meters and fire!”
Yua’s voice was heard out loud by the other players.
“Someone is really here! Show yourself!!”
Shouted by a swords user player in front of him as he gripped his sword tightly.
Himari smiled and rise her weapon upwards.
On her hand, was a grenade launcher. Each grenade on her gun contains special attributes and is enhanced by magic. A grenade was launched exactly toward the location Yua stated.
“Look out! A bomb!”
The players hastily move forward to avoid the bomb hitting them. The bomb made an explosion on the ground, resulting in the temporary cloud of dust serving as a smokescreen.
The enemy player's observation around the area was hindered.
Creating a perfect chance for Yua to attack.
Yua moves her body forward and her UZI in her hand. She fires her bullets to their heads one by one. Yua moves fiercely around taking down the four players in instant.
Just like Yuki, Yua is an agility-based character. Her agility made herself to move faster and hit her opponent as fast as she could. It's her signature mover “Hit and Run.”
“Yua? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, but unfortunately, the other enemy found me! You’re bombing save me! I took down four of them and I was hit by one magic. I have 230 HP left. Can you make it here?”
Yua talked so fast and panicked.
“G-Gotcha! On my way!”
Himari stood up and revealed herself on the tall grassland. Upon standing up she finds herself in the middle of another team group already.
Stunned for a moment with a dumb expression.
“Hello? The weather is quite nice today.” She uttered.
Himari immediately pulled a flash grenade on her waist and slam it to the ground.
The flash bomb’s blinding light made the players around her stunned for seconds making a path for Himari to run an escape.
“They are near! Players are already near our position! Whoa! There are chasing me! They are firing magic and arrows on me!”
“Run! Himari!”
“If I raised my head, it’ll get blown away off! I’m scared! Their attack already grazed me! I’m a goner Yua! Go one without me!”
While Himari is in trouble. Yua made her decision not to let her one and the only comrade died in this battle. She made her decision and became serious. She changes her rifle into UMP9 and puts a special magazine containing special magic enhanced bullets.
“Himari… Let's do that thing.”
“Okay! Whenever you’re ready!”
Yua stood up and shouted.
“Open, fire straight above you!”
Himari secured her position and fired special smoke grenade bombs from her grenade launcher up to the sky. Ten bombs were launched and explode putting the whole Savannah area under thick green smoke.
“Smokescreen! Don’t attack carelessly! We’ll end up shooting each other!”
“Why is the smokescreen green?”
“It's them the famous rookie player…”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Where is she?”
“Gah!
“Ahhh!”
His head was holed with multiple bullet shots. Still, Yua’s location was unseen. The player around was confusion looking around. Meanwhile, Yua’s bullets keep on piercing them one by one.
“Extreme Speed!”
Yua activated her skill making her movement accelerate faster.
“I can barely see anything in this area, Himari, please secure your safety.”
“Don’t worry about messing up.”
Yua goes on a killing spree and continues her dominance in the Savannah area.
“Everyone still alive please retreat! We’re gonna lose visibility… Huh?”
A gun was pointed at a player's head.
“Say this to your teammates. “I killed Yua!” Stop attacking already.”
“I-I refuse?”
Yua after hearing his word pulled the trigger blasting his head down.
Yua runs away.
…
The spectator is amazed by Yua’s ability to plan and attack her opponents.
“Another one! She killed another one!”
“How can she see them in that thick green fog?”
“Sensory awareness skill… She probably has it to located her opponents.”
“Her partner is also good she’s killing another player with her grenades. Looking at this makes me feel like I’m being left by time. Youngsters are totally dominating this game already.”
“Yeah, maybe we’re already too old to play, but this is an excitement we can only feel in this game.”
“Yeah, this exciting fight made my blood alive better than real-world itself.”
Two hours are left before the battle Island event ended.
