Chapter 518 - 517 – Second Tournament – Finals – Part 22.
(Fuck me! The hell is this?!) – thought Apple as he used his chains to defend against a massive humanoid lion monster player who swung around his great sword."COMMON! BREAK ALREADY!" – shouted the lion player.
[Player: Claw]
"Tch! Piss off weakling!" – Apple unleashed his chains, wrapping the lion player in place alongside his weapon, before then aiming to unleash his darkness magic at the lion player… But being forced to suddenly defend with barrier as the barrage of flaming lances came down at him, which was then fallowed up with Claw breaking out from the restrain and unleashing his skill, shattering the damaged barrier of Apple, but not landing a solid strike on Apple.
"Tch! Who is this bastard!?" – asked Claw.
"I don't know! But don't let your guard down! He is probably master ranker danger rank!" – said Leonardo as he unleashed a barrage of fire spells from above, bombarding the whole area as Apple was forced on the defense.
However, Claw didn't wasted a moment as she charged at Apple, sometimes even takier risker moves as he was even almost hit by Leonardo.
"Tch!"
(The hell is going on here?!) – thought Apple as he quickly teleported away, creating some distance.
(A player alliance!? Now?! There should be around only 8 people left!) – thought Apple as he had his hands full with the two master rankers going at him.
(Not only that, all 4 of these bastards are the master rankers!)
[Leonardo Da Vinci – Master Ranker: 90#]
[Claw – Master Ranker: 99#
[Schadarun – Master Ranker: 93#]
[Budubudu – Master Ranker 98#]
(They are in 90s, but still!) – thought Apple as she tried counter attacking with his chains, only for the heavy barrage of fire magic to counter and stop in place Apple's chains in place, giving Claw a chance to go for the strike… Only for the Apple to blast him away with the dark magic, unleashing a devasting blast… However, even when getting blasted right in the face with such powerful strike, the beast monster man was still able to stand up and rush at the mysterious man.
(An alliance of the four master rankers now?!)
(I would somewhat understand the high rankers, but not the fucking master rankers!) – thought Apple as he used his teleportation, creating a portal that Claw ran into accidently when he was about to attack Apple, resulting in him getting teleported right in the direction where the series of flaming sphere were.
"WAIT! STOP!" – shouted Claw as Leonardo accidently ended up friendly firing Claw, bombarding the beastman.
Leonardo tried putting out the fire, but he himself ended up getting bombarded with dark magic, forcing the man to deploy his barrier of fire…. Only to barely hold on.
(Shit! What kind of attack power is this?!) – thought Leonardo as his barriers couldn't handle the heat and ended up shattering pretty quickly.
Apple was about to quickly finish off Leonardo, but then Claw came in and swung his great sword, landing a solid blow on Apple's side, and sending the mage flying.
"BASTARD!" – shouted Claw as he was emitting a white smoke like energy from his body that caused the man blond fur turn completely white.
(What the fuck!? He has the [Moon Light Berserker]?!) – thought alarmed Apple as he barely deployed in time a layer of the chain defenses, barely blocking in time the great sword as the white lion went on the rampage.
(Fuck me! Things are just really spiring out of control now?! Don't they?!) – thought Apple as Leonardo once again started off his bombardment, forcing Apple in tough situation where he was dealing with the two players.
(Alliance of the 4 master rankers in this stage of the game should be physically impossible.)
(Yet these bastards are doing it!?)
"…"
(They probably know they can't take on the number 1, so they decided to team up?!)
(What the fuck is wrong with them?!)
(I mean, logically speaking it should not be possible!) – thought Apple was he was using his chains to drag his body around, dodging the attacks that went flying in his direction, while also using space magic attacks to knock back the white lion that was after him.
(Did I underestimated how loyal can people be to each other?!)
(…)
(I can kill them.)
(The Master Rankers between 90 to 100 are being replaced nonstop. These guys are pretty much same as regular high rankers.) – thought Apple as he gazed in Powin's direction, noticing her fighting the two other master rankers…. But had hard time dealing with the almost dead Powin, as she was straight up launching the two players everywhere whenever they exchanged blows.
(Still…. These fuckers ruined my chance at fame!)
(I NEED TO FUCKING KILL POWIN MYSELF!)
(But I can't have these bastards running amok either! I need to have the 1 vs 1 situation with her again!)
(Not only that, but there is also that bastard Phantasia still on the loose! I could see from afar how the swamp was getting deformed by him!) – thought Apple as Claw bounced off the wall aiming to get a surprise attack on Apple… But the man quickly noticed the fast-moving lion as he got then blasted away with dark magic.
(Powin is already in the rough shape, but I can't have them rough her up too much!)
(I need to SHOW OFF!)
(The chain has still has all uses, expect the first one.)
Apple was in rough position.
In his eyes, he needed to exterminate Powin with his own two hands.
However, the alliance of the four players was something he would had never expect to happened.
This alone thrown not a wrench in his plans, but an entire boulder.
If Apple want to show off, he needs to have the four-player alliance out of the picture as soon as possible.
However, these players were "loyal" to each other.
And that was the biggest problem.
Apple had ways of dealing with some of the players…. But that may end up requiring him use his most powerful chain on them.
But he cannot waste it.
Powin shown already how dangerous she is, even when she is already close to dying.
If Apple screws up, he may end up dying or may not really have the "heroic victory" he was aiming at.
But he cannot at the time let the manifested chain hit the time limit, or he will really completely waste it.
So… Apple had a decision to make.
Do he take a risk and not use his ultimate chain?
Or does he use it now in order to take down the players in front of him as soon as possible?
As the battle royal between the three-side continued, the tension grew higher and higher, which caused Apple to get more nervous.
…
However, there was one more problem.
There was in the total, 8 players.
The 4 players alliance.
Apple.
Powin.
And obviously Phantasia.
But who was the 8th one left?
It was simple.
It was that traitor elf that run off.
And he may had poked at the beehive.
You see… Phantasia finished his recovery.
And he knew that there was 3 in total players in the loose that entered the swamp without his permission.
He hunted down both the elves that were left betrayed.
But what about the coward?
"WHY DON'T YOU DIE ALREADY?!" – shouted Powin as she swung down her axe, sending the giant player with ease.
"JEZUS! WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THIS BULLSHIT STRENGHT STAT?!" – shouted giant player Budubudu, as he stopped himself in place with his hammer.
"SHUT THE FUCK YOU PARASITE AND DIE ALR-"
However, as Powin charged to finish off a player, the Leonardo who was still on the celling suddenly saw as something went past him and smashed right into the middle of the temple grounds, which instantly caught everybody's attention.
It was smoking and rotting corpse.
[Players left: 7]
"?!"
(Wait, player?!) – thought Powin as she instantly stopped her charge and backed away from the giant.
It wasn't just Powin who realized that the corpse that just flew into the temple grounds was a remains of the players…. And in the next second.
"NO! STOP AWAY! STAY AWAY!" – the players could hear the screams and explosions of fire coming from the hole in the celling… But could no longer see Leonardo who was seemingly fighting with somebody.
"…"
"Shit." – said Apple as the screams suddenly stopped out of nowhere.
[Players remaining: 6]
The moment the message dropped, the players were put on extremely high guard, instantly stopping the fight between each other…. As in the next moment, a massive claw emerged, grabbing the hole in the celling from outside…. Before moments later a massive monster maw blocked off the sun.
"Ah…. Hello there." – said Phantasia in his monster form.
"The man-eating monster has arrived."
"So you wouldn't mind if I gobble you all now?"
The cowardly elf was chased by Phantasia.
And was caught…. But not before straight up brining Phantasia right into the temple zone…. Who in turn could tell from afar that some sort of massive battle was taking place.
And now because of that cowardly elf.
Phantasia had now officially joined the battle royal.
