Chapter 315 – Tournament – Part 10.
The Helmet team had managed to defeat both Golden Fish team as well as the Black Samurai team, all on their own, without suffering any casualties at all or having their base flag even touched.
It was an solid 2 vs 1 situation…. And yet, the Helmet team completely dominated the entire match.
The highlight?
An fight between Arthur and Mugen…. Or so people though.
It wasn't really an fight.
As soon as Mugen exposed Arthur, it was then an instant destruction.
The members of the Black Samurai team/guild tried to help…. But the remaining members of the Helmet team besides Mara and Doctor had arrived, not letting the Black Samurai team/guild to help the Mugen.
In the end, the battle as said before was an completely one sided…. To the point this fight stood out even more among the people watching.
After sometime, the last of the match has ended, leaving only 20 player teams left.
And with that, the first round of the finals had ended.
"…"
"Motherfucker." – said the man playing as ClownFrog as he watched the public official video made by the game company, showing the clips of the fight.
(I knew that bastard Arthur was strong, but he was hiding that? Not only that, he had also an legendary class? That sneaky little....)
*Sigh*
"Never mind that…."
(Honestly, in the first phase, these guys did not had any real enemies to show off their power against…. But now I have an proper understanding of my team power….. As so does the enemies…. Yea… The comments online does seems like people are now paying even more attention to us…. Wow. Arthur really showed off like some sort of "Main protagonist" …. And he is using an light…. Destroying darkness…. Wait, is he really trying to become some sort of "HERO OF JUSTICE" slash "MAIN PROTAGONIST"?)
"…."
"Yea… That wouldn't be surprising…Wait, he also has harem."
(Two little sisters twins.)
(Tsundure knight.)
(Shy mage.)
(And bright and positive cat girl thief…..)
(I mean, there is also Stone and Modred and they are both…. THEY ARE MALE, RIGHT?)
(I mean, I never saw Stone face so far, so what if he takes off his helmet and it turns out that he is "she".)
(Or what if Modred is using some item to hide her gender?)
"…"
"What the actual fuck?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy…."
(We in an sense "FUCKED".)
(The other teams will may now decide to team up and just go after us from get go, instead of just two teams targeting us on their own.)
(It could be an solid team up and 3 vs 1 situation.)
(Arthur may had proven himself to be monster, I also now know that Mara is also an monster and there is also Thanatos…. The rest are also good…. But what if the 3 teams really team up? And I mean solid cooperation and not some individual action.)
(The teams we will be also facing aren't exactly "easy" opponents, since they beat the other teams they were competing against.)
"30"
"They may use some elites to hold our strongest fighters in place, even for few minutes, while the rest of them go for the flag and try and steal it."
"They don't need to beat us at all, they can just steal our flag and eliminate us all instantly and then they can just duck it out between themselves."
(I guess situation turned somewhat annoying by the looks of things.)
[Sometime later – The second match – Lobby map.]
"Yeb… This isn't looking good." – said Hunter as the group gathered up on the top of the ruined building.
"Well…Do you really think we will be dealing with 3 vs 1 situation like this?" – asked Stone.
"Of course we will! I mean in the last game we got 2 vs 1 situation from get go! Neither of these teams even attacked each other either!" – said Modred.
"Yea, we will be definitely fighting 3 vs 1 situation."
"But can we be sure?"
"I mean, all of our opponents are rankers guilds or team that consist of strong mix of players." – said Coin.
"They may not work together at all and maybe an repeat of the same thing that happened before, where the teams would just on their own target us at the same time, or they could just don't do any of that."
"I mean, only 1 team can win, right? Then there is no way they will "truly" work together."
"Yea, they may just betray each other as soon as they saw the chance or when we are "weakened" state." – said Mara.
"…. True…. But how chances are that all 3 teams will attack us from the get go as soon as the match starts?"
"That is the problem, we don't know." – said Doctor.
"And we also don't know what they would do?"
"Would they aim for us? Or for our flag?"
"I'd say that we focus on the defense on the start and reduce the enemies coming our way as much as possible."
"…. But won't that just help out our enemies?" – said Hunter.
"I mean, don't take me wrong. But if we continue taking down enemies, then the 3 teams alliance could either continue working without them betraying each other."
"But do we really have any options?" – asked Arthur.
"I mean, we don't know anything and…. Well, you get the picture."
"…"
*Sigh*
"Okay. Lets first go over the teams we will be facing."
"The first team is an team that is some guild called Winter team slash guild, their guild isn't really impressive, but their guild master who is known as the "Winter Titan" Hord is an ranker and quiet well known one."
"The second guild slash team is called Conquerors. They are quiet infamous guild that… Well, people just call them bandits slash PK enthusiast."
"They are mainly known as being of somewhat merceries somewhat, you could call them the same thing as Golden Fish guild that we faced before, but honestly they are much weaker than Golden Fish. However, each of their members are instead stronger where the Golden Fish instead focuses on numbers."
"And the third team, its not an guild… Or more exactly its an mix of two guilds."
"Devil Key and Stampede."
"They are very small guilds, that each only has handful of members."
"The Devil Key is an team that consist of some monsters members, like undeads, demons or some other monster races that had also been evolved."
"The second are Stampede guild that are…. Well, they are guilds of cavalry and tamers."
"Out of the two I would rather worry about the Stampede side of the team, since cavalry speculating players fighting on the open field would be quiet problematic."
"And as for the Devil Key side… Well, they have pretty solid heavy hitters."
"One of the guys that are definitely most annoying would be the lich player named Go and the ogre player Peraz. They are the most annoying players we should watch out for from their side."
"…"
"Well, it doesn't really sound like they- "
[The match will be starting soon.]
"!"
"Welp, shit." – said Doctor as the messenge appeared as he was about to say something.
"Alright. Just stick to the defense plan for the start and see how it goes."
[The match is starting.]
[The players will be teleported.]
As soon as the messenge started, the players began getting teleported left and right, leaving the lobby map and entering the battle area map instead.
The team Helmet also arrived safely on their map, where they found themselves on the open field.
"…"
"Huh… So, this is our map?" – said Modred.
"…"
"Say… About the open field….."
"Yea…. This sucks." – said Arthur as the group was standing on top of the grass field.
"….?"
"!"
"Hey! Behind us!" – said Coin.
"?"
Everybody turned around and noticed an mountain in the distance, alongside an mountain line attached to it that stretched right next to the map borders, all the way to the main border.
"…"
"Huh…. So… Is this like defense oriented part of a map? I say its way better than the map we had before." – said Coin.
"But isn't this also extremely obvious as well?" – said Cave.
"I mean, the enemy WILL know we have the flag on the top of the mountain."
"But is there any other spot? The only other thing I can see is an forest there… But its right in the middle of the map and I guess we don't want to put our flag there, right?" – said Modred.
"Yeb. They are pretty much leaving us no choice in the matter." – said Doctor as he started walking.
"So, lets stop wasting time already and set up this flag already. Maybe there are some good spots or something where we can plant this thing."
The group made their way to the mountain and easily managed to climb it up, reaching their destitution.
"…"
"Okay… This is not good." – said Doctor.
"Yea… We climbed way too easily from the front." – said Mara.
"Not only that, but look to the sides."
"Those mountains lines are not really mountains. They are paths." – said Mara while pointing at the well build path that was located on top mountain wall.
"…Well… I guess we maybe screwed over."
"There are 3 ways to get in here easily."
"Yea, but its also only 3 ways." – said Arthur.
"If enemy tries different approach then they will be screwed over."
"So all we have to do is to only defend 3 paths."
"…"
"Arthur. Buddy." – said Modred.
"Hm?"
"Did you forgotten that the 3 enemy teams may end up joining forces to attack us?"
"And how many paths are there in total they can get to us?"
"…"
"Oh…..Shit." – said Arthur.
"Well…. Huh…. Well, this got way more problematic."
