chapter 25
25 – Hunting begins
Staria hid herself in a tree with the rest of the crew. She looked around and prepared for another group’s attack.
Mernelusso decided to draw Gran’s attention. The forest is the domain of the druids. If you are with nature, you can use various magic and techniques. Thanks to this, Merneluso successfully lured Gran like a druid in the forest.
It was unknown whether the druids were eliminated, but in the meantime, 5 groups of people were dealt with. It was perfect to get out of the battle site safely.
As a leader, she had to prepare for the next situation. If Merneluso was eliminated, they scored a total of 2 points. I had to score more points.
A good opponent to score is actually Gran.
He was the last member of Group 5, and if he catches Gran, he gets 4 points.
Of course, she didn’t even dare to catch Gran.
The only option left is to eat one or two of the other groups entering the forest.
“Heh heh, you’re here.”
Staria’s eyes widened. She looked around and was faithful to reconnaissance. Clearly there was nothing up until now.
But Gran was standing right under the tree.
Quaaang!
The wood cracked open as he swung his fist.
Starria moved her body in the air to another tree. At the same time she loaded her arrow and aimed it at the spot where he was.
There is no one.
“Viola! Darina!”
The fact that he came this far is Mernelusso’s elimination.
She looked over the tree, making sure that Viola and Darina were all right.
Fortunately, the two of them were hiding like assassins. They said they were all right and nodded their heads without answering.
Staria sent a hand signal to the two assassins on the other tree to be careful.
Sasasak
“Where are you looking? Oh, there’s a viola over there.”
Staria’s pupils dilated.
Gran was on top of a tree despite his massive body. He’s higher up than Starria.
She jumped from the tree and turned her body.
She shot an arrow while she was falling.
The arrow missed beautifully.
Gran crossed the trees with his huge body. The place he is heading to is where the viola is.
“Viola!”
Viola quickly distanced herself from Gran, but it was too late.
f*ck!
A dull sound was heard.
“Wow!”
The viola’s shrill scream followed.
After the viola’s scream, the forest became quiet again. The forest was so quiet that I could even hear my beating heart.
She looked around. I can’t see anything. Her throat burned.
All I see is trees and swaying green leaves.
Sasasasak.
Something big is passing through the trees.
It was moving so fast that the naked eye couldn’t keep up with it.
Staria aimed at something that moved with her arrow.
What she was aiming at was empty space. She couldn’t quite keep up with her movements.
She burst out laughing. She
Because she knew she was being hunted.
“… That freaking bastard Darina run away!”
Current score plus 1 point.
If you die, 0 points. If Darina dies, -4 points. I had to avoid the death of all the members.
“Kyaaah!”
A scream was heard again.
This time it was Darina’s scream.
“f*ck, you must have been here.”
Staria ran in the opposite direction. She felt sorry for Darina, but for her score, she was best off running away.
She ran only in front of her, hoping not to run into another group.
Thinking she had fallen enough, she hid herself among the grass.
“Ha ha ha. Are you a human kid?”
She caught her breath and lay down in the grass.
‘No negative score.’
What was she like when she was assigned to the group?
The atmosphere in the team was not good.
2 Shooters, 2 assassins, 1 last druid.
The combination was the worst.
However, the atmosphere changed when I saw that there was a forest area in the group battle evaluation area.
It seemed like it was a revelation from God to be number one.
After that, the atmosphere of Group 7 was better than any other group.
They thought the forest was their own territory.
‘Even if I hadn’t met him…. No, even if I hadn’t just shot an arrow….’
Shuaah!
At that moment, a huge hand popped out of the grass.
Staria’s expression hardened coldly.
His big hand grabbed him by the shoulder.
“Kyaaagh!”
Starria tried to scrape the dirt floor with her heel to avoid being dragged away, but to no avail.
***
I looked around but couldn’t find the rest of the crew.
In the end, I was left alone.
I walked aimlessly, wondering what to do from now on.
The score should have been 4 points by killing all 7 groups. A score of 4 would have been average.
We can’t just sit still just because all members of the group have been eliminated.
I decided to deal with Joe who was attacking me.
After walking for another 10 minutes, I saw buildings. It was the same as the buildings you see in the city.
I was curious to see if the interior had been recreated, so I chose an appropriate building and entered it.
“Um….”
It was an unexpected meeting.
The 4th team members were pointing their weapons at me.
“Are you alone?”
Said Ron Recaro, captain and knight of Team 4.
“Heh heh, I happened to be alone.”
Ron looked at the warrior Zomas next to him. He seemed to be the signal to attack.
“That’s Gran?”
“Hey, there are five of us. And Gran is alone.”
“Hmm, you are thinking of attacking me. I will finish it soon.”
Clap.
I shut the door to keep them from escaping.
“Giamo!”
Teeing!
As Ron shouted, Giamo shot an arrow. An arrow flew towards my neck.
I grabbed the arrow with my hand.
“Okay, did you catch it?”
Giamo said, looking at Ron blankly.
“Shut up and attack!”
Ron was reckless like the leader of Team 4. He was the first to run into me.
I shot the arrow I caught and fired it at the 4th mage, Lucon. The arrow flew straight towards Lucon’s shoulder.
“Keew!”
Rookon, hit by an arrow, crashed into a wall and was summoned.
Ron charged me with an aura wrapped around his body, his sword held high.
I quickly closed the distance.
The moment he struck the sword, it slammed into his torso.
“Koaaak!”
As Ron flew backwards, he collided with Giamo, the shooter behind him, and fell.
The warrior Zomas did not move with his sword pointed at me. He laughed bitterly.
“That, is that our friend?”
“Heh heh, of course we are friends.”
Puuu!
I punched Joe Mars in the stomach as he stood still. A friend, but not an enemy now.
“Huh!”
Jomas knelt down, clutching his stomach. Saliva leaked from his mouth and he was summoned immediately.
The remaining members of the 4th group were the knight Ron, the shooter Giamo, and the last one was the shaman Petran.
Ron and Giamo couldn’t get up from the impact. They struggled with pain.
Petran, who was fine, touched the floor with his hand. Then the floor began to vibrate.
Quaaagh!
A sharp awl-like rock pierced the floor and shot up.
I turned around and broke the rock before it penetrated me.
“Roh, rooh oh on!”
Petran urgently called Ron to take charge of the melee. It was too late.
My fist was already flying towards Petran. The shaman quickly fell asleep.
“Heh heh, there are two of us now.”
“Let’s ask only one Gran…. You’re not a fighter….”
At that moment, the inside of the building was filled with heat.
It was not Ron and Giamo’s technique.
Quaaang!
***
“Did you catch it?”
Arnes said.
He used magic on the building Gran was in. In case the power wasn’t enough, the 2 trillion nine magic spells were also blown.
Team 1 and 2 decided to join forces to catch Gran. Arnes was ashamed of being united with the other Joes, but he couldn’t help but capture Gran.
Thanks to the large number of people, we were able to find Gran.
He entered the building and battled another group.
Team 1 and 2 climbed to the top of the opposite building and waited for him to be eliminated.
Arnes and Nine cast magic together.
The power was sufficient.
The first floor of the building was on fire and the explosion was great.
“Let me check.”
Team 1 Assassin Laysha Harsen said.
“Leave the confirmation to Team 2.”
Arnes said.
“Kiara, go check it out.”
As Princess Aliana spoke as if commanding, Kiara grimaced at her and nodded her head at the same Joe Lu Dane.
Team 2 Assassin Ludane jumped down. He drew his dagger and carefully inspected the building.
The fire was quickly put out, but the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to look inside the building.
Ludein progressed little by little. He entered the building and his figure was not seen.
“That, that, wait a minute!”
I heard Ludein’s urgent voice from inside.
“No! Please! aaagh!”
Quaaang!
The body of Ludein, who entered the building, was thrown out.
“Lou, Ludane!”
Ludein fell to the floor and didn’t even respond. His body faded and he disappeared.
Arnes hastily created the next spell. This time he created ice magic.
Damn it.
The ice magic thrown by Arnes froze the entire first floor of the building.
Quaaagh!
“What a low attack. Groups 1 and 2 joining forces…. I can’t just sit still and watch.”
“Don’t let that bastard come up!”
Arnes exclaimed.
“Wait a minute.”
Gran jumped high and grabbed onto the railing. He rose to the top in an instant, as if flying.
“Is he a real priest? Bram, are you not as good as him?”
“Don’t compare me with that, Gran….”
Bram was a second-class paladin.
“Which side should I start with?”
Team 1 and 2, with Gran in between, only noticed each other.
“Heh heh, then I’ll deal with you at once.”
