1716 Words
Ronie and Saya were left skeptical about what they saw. They are in too much disbelief. Even Clover and Yuki pinch their cheeks they are not making any reactions. They both remained dumbfounded staring at the disaster Kaede just made.
Currently, Kaede’s HP drops to 1. Clover snapped out and immediately cast healing on her to replenished her lost Hp. Kaede’s stats return to normal.
“That was amazing, truly worthy of the title demon king Kaede.”
“Ahahahaha… It's nice to make some experiments with skills… I can’t do it in the game before. Because I’m scared I might accidentally kill someone with my skill. But currently, in this event, I’m glad I made it… Thanks to Biscuit, I got some strength to swing and aim for my attack.”
Biscuit leaps to Kaede’s head and curled around.
“You're terrifying, but I’m glad we're comrades. If Kaede was my opponent. I’m sure I won't last any second.”
Ronie commented. That comment doesn’t imply in Ronie alone. In fact, Kaede can just kill everyone at her party alone. Just with the creative uses of her skills.
“So mysterious… Yuki do you know how much Kaede’s STR was?”
Saya whispered to Yuki.
“I saw it before, but I’m not updated. Even Kaede wanted to show it to me I won't look. I’m afraid I might feel jealous.”
“I see, I get whats your saying, but Kaede despite having a lower level than Yuki. Kaede is still much powerful I think.”
“I do not argue on that.”
Yuki admitted immediately.
“... But that what makes our leader… A leader. Kaede is the demon king and we are her four generals. Like in anime and manga I'm reading.”
Ronie excitedly said.
“Like a demon king! That’s right, I’m Kaede the current Demon king… Everyone bow down on me Ahahahahah!”
With Kaede playing around. Everyone just rides on her jokes and bend down their body. Pretending to worship Kaede.
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
“Hail the demon king!” 4x
After that, they chuckle a laugh together.
Kaede opened her menu screen and check the people she eliminated just now. While checking, four heads look behind Kaede.
“I have 10 elimination just now and now. I just eliminated 113 players.”
“You carved the players just like that. Not only that the top 2 players Arthur is retired. Including top 5, top 10, and top 9. Therefore there are only five top players left roaming around.”
Saya pouted her face and said.
“This is anti-climatic. I wanted to battle them with my strength like.”
“Don’t be angry… I’m only able to use my Status switch once every day. With my insane VIT, I wasn’t able to use that attack again.”
“You still have changed in battling other top players roaming around. I also wanted a rematch with Amber. She really burned me back then.”
Yuki said with a sinister smile on her face.
…
On the opposite end of the map. The large-scale attack Kaede released caught lots of attention. At the same time, lots of players got caught in the terrifying power and were defeated instantly.
“That must be the demon king on move… After realizing such a powerful attack I bet she wasn’t able to move or cast another one immediately.” This is the perfect time to attack her.”
The one talking was Kobato. Equipped with a wizard with a witch-like outfit she looks toward the horizon where skill was cast.
“My lady according to our intel, Kaede and her group is currently in the southeast part of the Island… With the island divided. We will have a hard time going for her.
Sena said.
“That’s fine… We’ll be fine. I buy the most expensive stuff in the shop. This staff boosted my magic ten times my normal power… With this power… With this power… I’ll be taking down the demon king and became the announced hero! Ahahahahaha!”
“That’s not the laugh of a hero.”
“Shut up! Now, let's go and charge straight to the Kaede!”
“Roger!”
Kobato hired hundred of players online to helped her achieved her goal of winning the game. With these hundred players, she ordered them to go straight to Kaede in haste.
The giant cliff appeared. It's the result of Kaede’s cast skill.
Kobato lifted her staff. The staff gathers light particles around it.
“Earth magic.”
With the use of earth magic, Kobato extended the land and made a bridge going to another side of the map where Kaede is said to be located.
“I already spend 1,000,000 yen in this battle event. I’m ready to pay more just to win this game. That’s my family motto. One must give your everything to achieve something.”
“That was a beautiful motto, but my lady, I think you're doing it wrong.”
“Shut up! I wanted achievement in this game. After that, I throw this game like a used doll.”
While they are on their way to Kaede. The flaming priestess with her two support great shield user appeared.
“I was wondering why the ground is shaking. Looks like some players throw their own pride with money.”
“Flaming priestess…”
“Are you the wealthy person who buys them? I can see that this is basically cheating your way up. I can’t tolerate a cheater like you. Players don’t deserve a single trophy in this game… Fireblast!”
From Amber’s palm giant fireball appeared and launched toward the group of adventurers.
“Sacred barrier!” 10x
Support wizard next to Kobato cast their magic to block the fire magic.
“You have no right to say those words to me. I’m also putting my effort into this game. We just have different ways to do it… Soldiers go and attack her!”
“This is why I hate to pay-to-win system… Spiral flames!”
“Iron storm!”
“Magic beam!”
“Heavy s***h!”
Different type of skills was fire to Amber. Nell and Melie are also doing their best to block and support Amber with all they got.
“Exploding flames!”
Amber is already giving her all in the battle but still, she was merely outnumbered by the players around her.
The support player keeps on healing the players wounded by her. The cycle of attack and heal keeps on repeating. After minutes of fighting. Amber was on her knees exhausted.
“Can you understand now? This is the power of money. With money, I feel freedom and superiority. With money, I can do anything. Money is basically power. In real life and this game!”
Kobato pointed her staff to Amber.
Without Amber knowing her body together with Nell and Melie was tied together.
“?!”
They tried to struggle but it was no use.
“Fire magic: Flaming chain strike!”
The flames continuously decreased Amber HP little by little at a rapid rate. In no time her HP will go down to zero together with her friends.
“This burns, it hurts.”
“This is odd, I have fire resistance skill how is this possible?”
“It's a secret, why would I tell you? This is the end of you Flaming priestess! Ice magic: Crushing Ice meteor!”
Kobato cast another skill and from the sky, a giant rock of Ice appeared falling straight to Amber whose currently unable to move.
Before they are squashed by the Ice meteor.
“Amber we're doing it!”
Nell And Melie nodded.
The two girls' bodies glow in red color and suddenly they both exploded. Releasing Amber from the chains. Amber was not hurt by her comrade's skill as part of the rule.
“Flame acceleration!”
Amber charge straight toward Kobato and with her flaming fist, she attempted to attack her.
“Flaming punch!”
“Cutter!”
Sena cuts Amber's right hand before it reached Kobato. Kobato with a smug face looks down on Amber.
“How pitiful…”
“Don’t give me that look! Flaming kick!”
Using her right feet she attacks once again.
The attack was fast And Sena was unable to react. But this time Kobato defended her own self. With her own bare hand, she catches Amber's kick.
“Such strength…”
Kobato swings her around and throws her up to the sky. High above the ground, Amber was not able to move an inch of her body.
From the ground Kobato. Pointed her staff and blasted three Ice spears piercing through her chest.
In Amber's vision, her HP bar keeps on decreasing and decreasing until it reaches zero.
“I’m sorry Nell… Melie… I was defeated once again.”
Amber disappeared in light particles and teleported back to the central park as one of the spectators.
...
In the central park, the retired player continuously catch the event and saw that devastating power Kaede can do.
“This is insane the top 7 is also been defeated. Seems like there are new promising players on the game. That witch-like girl is moving her troops. She was like a commander.”
“Not to mention… The awesome shield user and that other mage girl. They defeated top 5 with their own strength.”
The one people referring was Melida and Elise. Whose currently in the top 17 of the ranking.
