Chapter 181 - Rain Of Victory.
Isaac's chat became quiet, with many not even daring to breathe.
He knew that he only needed to hit the Orc's body once, no matter where, as long it's not leg!
One bullet to decide his fate.
''Huff...'' He closed his eyes and calmed his body.
Once he opened his eyes, everything was much clearer to him than before.
His fingertip touched the trigger, and he only needed to press to find out his fate.
He raised his weapon and aimed straight at the Orc's torso. It was a much wider target, which made it an ideal place to shoot.
''Krrrrr...'' The Orc was hyperfocused. Nothing managed to distract him, not the loud sounds of the Centipede or the sound of rain that suddenly appeared on top of the Forest of Unknown.
The rain trickled down from the hole in the ceiling, making a splashing sound each time it landed on the Centipede's body.
Isaac took another short breath and was ready to fire the shot that would determine whether he would die or live to see another day.
If he dies. He will lose his viewers, he loses the Legacy Contender title, five levels he had to earn with hard work, and he can't play for another week, and he will be left behind by everyone else.
*BAM!*
Suddenly, the Centipede's body trembled, like a massive earthquake happened, but it was the Centipede killing the rest of the fireflies, which made the light around the cave diminish!
The Orc couldn't see the white-haired human anymore, or his own body.
Isaac slammed his wide open and sniffed the air in front of him.
''Sniff...'' He could easily smell the disgusting stench of the Orc, and he knew exactly where he was!
The camera went automatically into night vision mode.
It still had its glitches which have been said to be fixed in the next update. Sometimes, the night vision won't active, but sometimes it does.
This time, it did.
The viewers could see clearly as the Orc was looking confused, while Isaac looked confident and was ready to fire.
[*****: Shoot!]
[Divinity (Mod): Press the trigger!]
He didn't need to know what chat said because he knew what he needed to do.
His finger slowly squeezed the trigger and felt the recoil pushing his shoulder back.
*BANG!*
The bullet left the barrel, and it was the only sound in the dark cave system.
The Orc heard it and jumped to the side in hopes of dodging.
But, the bullet is simply too quick, and even though the Orc managed to move a great amount of distance in just a split second, it was still not possible to completely dodge.
The bullet pierced through the Orc's waist and exited from behind with the bullet covered in greenish blood.
''Kruh!'' The Orc screamed and fell down on the ground with his HP diminishing, and soon it reached zero.
With unwillingness, he died with his hatred still remaining.
Isaac dropped the Musket Rifle after his arm was unable to keep carrying it.
''Ah!'' He screamed and felt a very weird sensation around his shoulder like needles were piercing through his flesh.
[You Killed Orc!]
[4000 XP Earned!]
''Haahhh... Hahhhh...'' Isaac grabbed the Musket Rifle with his left hand and threw it inside Inventory before laying flat on the ground.
The camera was circling around his exhausted body, and even though he was aware that he should keep the stream entertained, he was simply too tired to care.
''Sorry, guys... I think I will end the stream.'' Isaac, without waiting for the chat to react to his words, opened the Streaming Screen and ended the stream.
The green screen turned red, which soon also disappeared from Isaac's view.
Finally, he could truly relax without thinking about someone seeing him in his current situation.
Without him even realizing it, him stopping the stream only caused everyone to spread the news about the stream quicker, and it won't be only a few who will be excited about the upcoming stream.
*CRACK*
Once again, the whole body of Centipede trembled, which stopped Isaac from relaxing.
''Come on.'' Isaac sighed and debated whether he should use the Teleportation Pearl.
But soon, the Centipede's body started moving closer and closer at the ceiling.
Isaac saw the hole in the distance, and it looked too far away, but it was like the Centipede was carrying him because Isaac saw the hole getting nearer with each passing moment.
Soon, Isaac saw him being only meters away from the hole. He used his left hand to push himself up and already saw outside, with rain dropping down on his silky white hair.
He quickly climbed out of the hole and appeared outside the cave system. Rare moments like this make him truly feel relaxed.
After almost dying so many times, he was the one who survived and managed to escape.
The Centipede's body started getting further and further away from the hole.
*Splash*
*Drip*
*Drop*
The raindrops landed on Isaac's face, making it wet quickly. The ground was already wet, making his Camouflage outfit dirty because of the wet dirt.
But, he didn't have any energy to move around, so he stayed lying down.
He embraced the raindrops and closed his eyes with satisfaction. In Winterland, there isn't any rain, instead only snowstorms.
This was the first time ever Isaac felt the effects of the rain. Because of the rain, he could smell the scent of nature better than ever before.
''This is nice.'' Isaac hummed with satisfaction wouldn't mind staying in the rain forever, but fate had different plans.
The rain slowly lessened in intensity, and soon, Isaac only felt a couple of raindrops landing on his face, but then there was zero.
No rain whatsoever, and even the sound was gone.
He opened his eyes and saw the grey sky disappearing, replaced by a hot sun and blue sky.
''Sigh...'' He covered his eyes, which was assaulted by the bright light coming from the sun, ''Never thought I would hate seeing the sun....''
