BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55: PK (UE)
"It seems I need to take care of her enemies when I get the chance" Michael mumbled, as he stood up from his chair and left the cafe, under the wary gazes of the other customers inside.
Michael didn’t know why though, but the thought of assassinating someone again is making his blood boil in excitement, as his eyes kept flashing with a cold glint and that the people walking passed him would even shiver in fright!
"I don’t have the right equipment though, which sucks" Michael sighed, it didn’t matter what weapons he uses though but not having the right equipment would slow down the job.
"And I don’t have time to go to that place" Michael said, referring to someplace, probably a place where people who are in the same trade like him goes.
But the agonizing look on his face is a certain fact that the place he’s referring to is really from Central City.
"Heh, they are a huge organization but they don’t even have a branch here" Michael muttered in disdain.
"I should look for a suitable time to go there sometime"
*****
Michael arrived back at his apartment, he immediately took his helmet from his desk and wore it over his head.
Connect to Fate Online?
"Yes!"
Flash!
A flash of light appeared in his vision, as he once again appeared outside the entrance of Augur Mine.
"Tsk, now I need to do it all over again," Michael clicked his tongue as he already knew that he would be kicked from the dungeon or mine if he logged off inside.
Michael then looked around, and finally noticed that it was night time inside the game, and the NPCs who are always hanging around the entrance are now gone and had already gone back to Timor VIllage.
"30% increase in Exp. Points at night" Michael smiled, as he had already gone through similar situations like this, where he grinded mostly at night because of the high experience points for every monster killed at night, but in exchange, the monsters would be more stronger and fiercer than their day counterparts.
Michael then took out his dagger and slowly entered the mine, he would have preferred grinding monsters outside, but with the double Exp. buff still in effect, the answer is already obvious enough.
Clang!
Michael’s eyes narrowed as he parried the sudden attack directed at him when he had just turned into a corner.
Michael slowly retreated as he saw three players slowly appearing themselves in front of him, they are one hunter, one barbarian and one wizard.
"It seems players are slowly getting passed Level 10" Michael mumbled, as he glanced at his top right corner as there is still two hours left before barrier zone dissipates, where players below Level 10 would finally be allowed to leave their beginner areas.
Swoosh!
Michael didn’t even bother talking as he immediately charged towards them, as he had already received the PK notification.
The hunter and wizard immediately retreated backwards, while the barbarian charge towards Michael!
But when Michael was about to be rammed through by the Barbarian skill, he suddenly did a spin move like a basketball player, immediately dodging pass the Barbarian!
He immediately activated Shadow Blur as he suddenly arrived in front of the startled Wizard who is still in the midst of casting his spell.
Michael leapt towards the Wizard as he kneed him on his face, as the wizard staggered backward in surprise, even the Hunter forgot to attack him as he didn’t expect for Michael to suddenly cover their distance that fast!
Michael didn’t give them the chance to regain their bearings as he immediately started attacking the wizard, while the Barbarian is also charging towards them to provide assistance.
"Arriston! Help him! You fool!" the Barbarian yelled angrily, and the Hunter finally snapped back to his senses, as the hunter immediately pulled his bow and sent an arrow towards Michael’s back!
Thwack! Swoosh!
Michael was about to land his third attack, when he noticed an arrow covered in green light from the corner of his eye, striking towards him!
So he immediately disengaged from the Wizard as the arrow grazed passed his head, but his predicament wasn’t over yet because the Barbarian from earlier is almost upon him!
But what he did next, thoroughly shocked this players! As Michael actually turned around as his left hand drew an arc on the air and precisely grabbed on the shoulder of the charging Barbarian, and Michael use the momentum behind the Barbarian’s Charge and flip behind him, as his body drew an acr on the air, successfully dodging the attack and landing behind the Barbarian!
"W-what!?"
"Is that even possible!?"
The hunter and barbarian are visibly surprised. After all, that maneuver is difficult to pull off, but the thing that really took them with surprised is that something like that is actually possible, which they had never experienced from previous VR games that they had played where players could only rely on their skill to do battle.
But Michael just ignored them, and this time, his target had switch to the hunter as he was nearest to him.
Swoosh!
Michael charged towards him, which flustered the player for a second but he immediately managed to make himself composed after that and hastily activated one of his skills and shot an arrow towards Michael!
Buzzt~!
