Chapter 212: Beacon Of Light!
How hard could it be to escape incognito using the cover of the night?
Usually —> Pretty easy.
Right now —> Freaking impossible!
Jack had been planning to kill and run, nothing else! It wouldn't have been too late to come back and murder later.
Sadly his getaway had been interrupted by one guy, one freaking cleric that had pointed his scepter at him before chanting an incantation he knew all too well.
Given his current means, it was a spell that was impossible to avoid. It was homing, instantaneous, and mana hungry!
— Wild Cleric Used Holy Mark! —
This spell only did one thing and was considered useless in the grand scheme of things. It made its target glow. Yep, that was it, but it turned Jack into a freaking living sun!
At that moment, he had given up any thoughts of hiding as he simply ran for his life. He was now attracting players as if they were moths and he a divine flame!
"Catch him! He went that way!"
"Keep targeting that glowing spot!"
He could hear their shouts as they aimed at him, wanting to turn him into abstract art on the floor.
The visibility was way too high here! He needed somewhere he could lose them, somewhere he could counterattack!
Without hesitating, he rushed for the lake, barely reaching it alive. At least many had been late to the party, and only about 40 players were after him.
He entered the mist, heading deeper as he sighed in relief. The enemies fearlessly followed behind him. He used his experience to avoid the monsters, but it showed his enemies the path.
"Dumbass! Does he thinks he's invisible or something?"
"Who cares! Just shoot him down!"
— Swoosh!! —
— A volley of projectiles came flying! —
At his speed, there was no way for him to avoid it. The time he had spent avoiding the monsters had given them the edge they needed. This was their victory!
But just as their attacks were about to land, the light suddenly dashed forward. What?! Had they misjudged the distance?!
They kept chasing and quickly caught up. Was he trying to close up the distance and attack them?! Tough luck! They restarted the bombardment.
They held their breath as the attacks….landed! That's when the light flickered before dying down. They all knew what this meant: he was dead!!
"His respawn has to be in Sprigfield Town! Notify the others!"
"I really hope he dropped some loot!"
"You mean good loot, right?"
They rushed forward, soon arriving a the scene of the murder. But as they checked the surroundings, their faces couldn't help but twitch.
What the hell was up with that? All there was on the ground was some burnt and exploded pumpkins.
"Talk about some shitty luck we— ARGG!"
The man wanted to say complain more, but the blade in his lungs suddenly made it very hard to speak. He died in shock, unable to understand what had happened.
Their target was there, alive and still glowing.
— SLASH!! —
A bloody red arc appeared right in their midst. The damage was enough to make them falter. A second later, 5 of them were dead! That's when the man winked at them before running away.
"How the hell didn't we see him?!"
"Come back here, motherfucker!"
They cursed only for a voice to taunt them. "Motherfucker? So what if I like Milfs?! I'm feeling magnanimous. If your mom is pretty and thick, I'll let you call me father!" Jack shouted.
They went after him. This time they wouldn't miss for sure!
— Swoosh!! —
— They sent forth a volley of projectiles! —
This time there was no mistaking it. They had destroyed the target! But just as they were ready to celebrate, three giant crabs came running straight at them!
"What the fuck?!"
"Where are those bastards from?!
"Oh crap! Guys, look at their bodies!
On the hard shells, there were marks of their attacks. Had he used the monsters as cover? Then why the hell hadn't they attacked him?!
"Hurry and kill them!"
"I'm trying. They're invincible!"
"Wait, some spots on their shells are a different color!"
At first, they were panicking, but then they somehow figured out the trick. As soon as they did, they unconsciously relaxed….until a blade slashed a few throats!
— Blood spurting all over! —
"W-what?!"
Somehow Jack was right in their midst, killing as if it were the most natural activity! This time they were fucked!
35 players VS 3 Crab was fine
35 players VS 1 Jack was fine too
But fighting Jack + three crabs was out of the question!
Every time they turned to face him, he would simply run away! Why the heck was he so damn fast?! Also…why was he always running away from the crabs?!
They kept fighting the crabs, but whenever they were about to land a critical blow he'd jump out and blind/attack them! They were at their freaking limits, many dying!
"This guy had to be a street runner in another life!"
"Wait, he's coming back. Go all in!!"
Suddenly they saw an opportunity, probably the last one. It seemed he had misjudged the timing of his attack: they could take him down!
They all struck the target, only to gasp as they finally realized he had been toying with them from the beginning.
Their assault landed on the target, destroying it entirely. Sadly, it turned out to be a flaming pumpkin.
What about Jack? Nowhere in sight! The glow was utterly gone too. He had been using their own spell against them, feeding them false information.
They felt like crying. All this time, they had been attacking a goddamn pumpkin!
"You guys should be running out of mana right about now, right?" That's when he appeared once more.
It was time for the slaughter to resume, but they now had lost all will to fight. They didn't even hesitate as the 20 of them ran away from the lone player.
This mist was demonic, and so was the man! They didn't even glance back as they madly ran for their lives. In the end, only 12 of them had survived the mist from the 40 that had entered.
Jack grinned, remembering their panicked shouts. But that's when the players outside the mist suddenly started shouting:
"You better surrender: we have your lover hostage!"
"?!?"
Their tone was void of any lie…
