Chapter 225: Start Hunting! Part III

“What makes you think that?” Maysa turned to ask her smilingly.

“Let’s say that Shin’s like a heavy tank that can only destroy and eliminate enemies. But Na’s like a fighter jet that is fast and agile. And that can be used in both destroying and disturbing enemies.”

“Oh, so this’s the reason why you think that Shin will mainly aim to kill the monsters, and Na will use his speed movement in touching the crystal.”

“Right.”

Waree smiled when her best friend understood her words thoroughly. But it was not long before Maysa curled up a cunning smile instantly.

“But I’m now curious.” She said with a delighted voice.

“About?” Waree asked her, smiling.

“You, who are you rooting for exactly? I’m not sure if you’re still rooting for your brother or not, because your eyes that stare at Shin look kind of sparkling somehow, gorgeous.”

She said, then leaning closer to her teasingly, making the one who got teased unexpectedly start blushing a little, before she turned her face away.

“Of course, I have to root for my brother, sis.” She said sharply, making Maysa laugh even harder.

“That’s right. You’re rooting for Wisana to win this event. But if Shin does, that’ll be fine, too, right?”

The teased one paused, glancing at Maysa who was now making a cunning face in such a cutely annoying way. And that made her blush even more, damn it!

“Whatever!”

The defeated cut her off, making Maysa giggle instantly.

“Alright, people, keep your eyes on this movement here!”

One moment later, Toei’s voice shouted out excitedly again, making everyone stare at the enormous screens floating in the middle of the Light Ring in unison. They were showing five players, the only people who joined the Hunting Gate event as a party.

Right now, they were circling around a Golem race monster with different body sizes and various kinds of weapons in each of their hands.

The one who was the nearest to the golem was a huge man with short black hair and some highlights. He was not holding any weapons, while the other one with messy red hair was holding two knives. Next to him, there was a buff guy carrying a large axe. Moving on to another corner, a teenage mage with short hair and glasses had a scepter in his hand. And the last one was a fragile-looking girl who did not have any weapons with her at all.

“Get it, Green!!”

“You got that!”

The biggest one in the group rushed in with the huge axe. He managed to leap straight at the golem, before swinging his weapon at the stone monster, sending it down still on the ground easily!

“Boss, you’re next!” The big guy shouted.

“Okay!”

After his voice ended, the black-haired guy named Black grabbed the golem’s leg with his bare hand. And he could also use only his strength to hold that monster up surprisingly!

“I’ll leave the rest to you, Red, Blue!”

“Copy that!”

The red-haired guy and the only girl in the party agreed loudly. A second later, the blue-haired girl who had a slim body flicked her hand at the sky harshly. After that, there were some thin wires shooting out of her hand. And they started tying themselves around the golem, holding it still in the air just like that.

Without hesitation, the girl named Blue flicked her hand slightly again, before pointing her hand to a building nearby. And then, her wires started swirling together and holding the monster down like a spiderweb catching prey successfully!

“Nice, Blue. Now, it’s my turn!”

Without hesitation, the man named Red launched himself onto and ran on the wires in the form of a spider web skillfully. His body’s flexibility was incredibly high as well.

Right after he got to the golem, he held his knives in the air for a second.

Lucky Seven

79,236!

The damage points popped up instantly. Watching until here, many spectators started making a sensation, because the cutting speed of the man named Red was so high that no eyes could catch up with it. Moreover, it was a 7 cuts combo that caused immense damage as well!

“Finish it, Yellow!”

Red shouted resoundingly, making the glasses guy who had not done anything yet flick his hand harshly. Then many fireballs appeared around him before they launched at the golem that was tied in the air at once.

Spicy Blazed!

BOOM!

120,869!

The strong explosion killed the golem that had been ganged up right away...

The audience who just saw their synced movement started chatting with each other excitedly. Of course, especially the narrator like Toei, he even pressed a replay button to watch it again instantly.

“This is the best team play, guys. It’s obvious that they’re used to fighting as a party so much. And the Golem is also a bonus monster in the first station as well. So, it means that player Black’s party just earned a special bonus of 20,000 points!”

He looked at Thada as he finished speaking.

“What do you think about this, Da?”

Toei asked with an excited face, expecting an answer from a guru like Thada fully. But what he got was silence from the game’s number one GM, who was now staring at the five players with a face that looked like he was having something else on his mind.

“Da, Thada, do you hear me?”

“Sorry, Toei. I was distracted by something else. What did you ask again?”

The one who was just back to present asked smilingly, making DJ Toei raise his eyebrows confusedly.

“Well, I was asking if you could comment about the Black’s party a bit.”

“Oh, they have excellent team play, Toei,” Thada replied right away. “Their moves perfectly support the party. ...They’re another interesting group as well. Maybe the winner this year would be the Black’s party, who knows?”

“This is really exciting.”

Thada nodded at Toei’s words with a smile. But shortly after that, he looked down at the five players on the screen to consider them again. He somehow felt familiar with their movements a lot, especially the one with red hair. Those fast and agile moves really caught his attention the most.

He thought and exhaled a long sigh right away.

Maybe he was just overthinking it...

----------------

CHUNK!

78,365!!

GEEEZE!!!!

The creepy scream came from this tiny Goblin that was just stabbed through by the Longinus that sent it down still on the ground a second later!

The owner of lavender-colored eyes started looking around himself and saw many dead enemies lying there scatteringly. It was approximately 200, no, maybe 300 monsters that the young crusader had killed without mercy.

The lips that barely smiled were spreading in a straight line. After those purple eyes checked and did not see any monsters or players around, he got more relaxed and loosened his grip on his favorite weapon a little. After that, he commanded his personal AI to open the scoreboard for him to check.

“You’re in third place huh? Not bad, Vincent.”

Shin spoke up with a smirk. Instead of checking his score first, he checked his opponent’s score. It was like he was confident that he would totally be the one in first place anyway...

Even though there was not any enemy around anymore, his calm and experience told him to stand there and wait in the same spot and just continue reading the details in front of him consideringly like that. ...Another thing that Shin was doing was calculating the number of monsters killed by every player together which was 2,987 in total...

His fighting experience told him to stay still and save his energy as much as he could...

He did not have to change his location at all. From reading the information in front of him, he already figured out that the boss of this station was about to appear soon, right after the player had eliminated three thousand monsters...

The station boss would be in the spot where there were the least monsters around. And where else could it be other than the place where he had just eliminated 300 goblins right here?!

GROOWL!!!!
