“There it is Player Rito’s wall piercing shot. Player Kaede’s body is now sealed. The weights produced by the lead bullets are making her unable to move. Kaede is put in a serious position.”
Alice announced.
The certain sword user then have a puzzled expression and questioned the archer player beside him.
“Sword demons have high STR right?”
“That’s what everyone knows…”
“If she has high STR then lifting those weights is supposed to be an easy task for her. If I’m not wrong, STR means strength.”
“Now that to said it this is kinda noticed it too.”
The archer muttered.
“STR means strength but in this game, STR is just a status. If STR is strength like in real life, Kaede is practically overpowered. Strenght can be used in many different ways. Like boosting your speed and lifting enormous heavy objects. Kaede can’t even move or run normally because she lacks AGI.”
Explained by Spear user.
“I was confused.”
The sword player said and scratch his head.
“To put it simply, STR in this game can only be used in the offense and physical skills. STR made a normal attack and physical skill damage high. The high STR Kaede has doesn’t translate her as physical power. That’s the reason why she’s unable to lift her body from those weights.”
“I kinda get it now… Then’s he is in serious trouble right now.”
“It's true, but it was the sword demon… She always comes up with some odd way to defeat her enemies. That’s why it's so fun watching her.”
“I agree.”

“I can’t move my body so heavy… Need to do something.”
Kaede muttered and runs her mind.
Rito whose on positioned in 8th floor. Reloaded his sniper rifle and use his detection skill to locate the exact position where Kaede. He close his left eye and the right eye on the scope. Pinpoint to Kaede’s head.
And suddenly thick white smoke immerges from Kaede's body. detection skill was canceled.
“Smokescreen? It's futile… Even with that, she can move because of the weights I put on her. I like you, but this is a battlefield… I’m sorry Kaede… Blasting Bullet!”
A loud gunshot was heard from the 8th-floor diving down to the 3rd-floor arcade area in a straight line. Anything it passed by was destroyed until it reach its target.
Hearing this sound made Yuki worried about Kaede. Meanwhile, Clover was on move to Kaede’s location right now.
“...”
The bullet reached the arcade area where Kaede was supposed to be laying down.
No points are made.
“Kaede was still alive? How?”
The smoke thinned out and Kaede is nowhere to be found.
“Heavy arrow!”
Saya shot her arrow to Rito. Rito’s immediately activated his shield and blocked the arrow.
“... Not done yet!”
“Wire?”
A wire attached to the heavy arrow fire to Rito’s shield. It immediately pulled Saya up to the 8th floor. Rito immediately drew a submachine gun (UMP9) from his waist getting himself ready for a close combat fight.
Rito pulled the trigger firing bullets at Saya. Before it reached Saya. Ronie appeared right in front of her for protection.
“Cover move!”
The gap between them is too low. Ronie was just 12 inches away from Rito’s body. Ronie covered her whole body behind the shield and pushed it forward.
“Shield attack!”
Slamming the shield down Rito was pressed to the floor. Resulting in him being unable to stand up. He still has his gun in his hand. Turning it to Ronie’s head.
Saya hasty move her body kicking the gun away from Rito’s hand.
Saya gets a dagger on her waist. Going for a kill.
“Force back!”
The magical force pushed Ronie away together with Saya's distance from Rito.
“I won’t lose easily without a putting a great fight.”
Rito get a lightsaber in green color and made a sword stance.
“You’re already defeated.”
Yuki from behind appeared. She daggers stabbed Rito from the back.
“Phantom strike!”
“Ark…”
Rito’s Hp down to 0. Another point goes to Demon king Guild.
“That was a great team fight.”
“Yeah, it is… Thank you clover my wounds are all healed up. Without her help, I won’t able to move fast up here.”
Yuki said.
“Speaking of Clover where is she?”
“She’s currently going to Kaede. There is no sniper anymore. Only two more players need to be defeated for us to have our victory.”
“We must run to Master’s position too… I saw Himari and Yua running downward earlier.”
The three girls nodded to each other and run downward.
After Rito’s defeat, the weights from his skill were deactivated freeing Kaede back to normal.
“Kaede! Are you okay?”
Clover asked.
“I’m fine…”
“I was worried after hearing that loud gunshot. I thought you’re already done for…”
“I also thought that, but thanks to a hopper. I’m able to blast my body away. Before the bullet reach me. I place hopper tile beneath my body. Blasting my body away to another position. Smokescreen concealed my presence from Rito’s detection skill. Resulting in his bullet to miss.”
“I guess, I was worried for nothing… Only two left we’re still five. Our chance of winning is very high.”
“That’s correct, but let our guard down is not an option. We should fight until the end.”
Kaede and Clover get out in the arcade area and they exit. They both met up with the other three girls, Yuki, Ronie, and Saya.
“You’re okay.”
“Master I was worried.”
“Kaede I killed your stalker already.”
Yuki is especially happy that she’s the one who takes down Rito. Still, Kaede doesn’t have an interest in such a thing. So she doesn’t get what Yuki’s real message is about.
They’re all glad that they all reunited safely.
Their reunion was then disturbed by the arrival of the remaining opponents. Yua and Himari appeared looking down on Kaede from the 4th floor.
Kaede’s team goes in battle position to have their weapons ready.
“We give up!”
Yua drops her gun down.
“Eh? Yua are you serious?!”
“We give up!”
Kaede’s team is skeptical of Yua’s words. Her expression was hopeless and her tone is like she had already given up on winning. Himari whose beside her is shaking her with her hand on Yua’s collar.
"I thought you wanted to test on who has the powerful luck between you and Kaede?"
"That was a lie... I don't believe in such a thing. If it's true, then I was misfortunate. Our three members die already."
"Yua is such a killjoy... I was hoping I anime style like a battle."
“I already said it… We give up… I don’t give a damn about the prize money anymore. We reach the semi-finals and have rewards from it already. Fighting them will be a pain in the ass. I mean, she is the sword demon and her team still has full HP. Our team is just all talked and no bite. Assault is a psycho but she flinched facing Kaede. Setsuna is a scumbag and Rito is a serious man but a weakling at heart… I know I’m strong, but no man is an island. Pistol won’t defeat a tank you know.”
Yua said.
“Well… You're just joking right?”
Kaede asked like she was joking.
“Nope… I’m serious… We give up! I already got lots of money from this semi-finals. I can live a peaceful life in my room for many years. My dream of being a fully pledge hikikomori will come true… So goodbye!”
Yua pulled a grenade on her pocket and pushed it to Himari’s body. After that, she hugs Himari and explodes.
Yua and Himari committed suicide. Both of their Hp is down to zero.
“I didn’t know what happened to her but… We won… Right?”
Kaede said.
