Chapter 695 - Possessed by Misaka Mikoto!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In less than a minute, the two players exchanged roles no less than three times between offense and defense. That was the extent of the clash between the two top-tier professional esports players.

All the way until when Liu Zilang performed an unexpected ‘Revolution No-Scope Snipe’ and killed Shroud in one shot, the live audience members and live stream viewers continuously had to process what was happening as they reacted dramatically.!

“That… was a joke, right?”

“F*ck me! That shot blew the skin on my face away!”

“Hahaha, I feel sorry for the Demon King Shroud. I can’t believe that this is your fate.”

“Well, I guess you can call Shroud a monster-level player from North America. Unfortunately, Vic is a monster hunter…”

“…”

In the match, Shroud had planned to deliver death from above. However, he was delivered death instead. He felt like an idiot.

On his game over screen, he stared in bewilderment as Liu Zilang climbed up the rooftop and looted his crate. His mind replayed the scene earlier that had happened in a flash.

Revolution No-Scope Headshot?

For Shroud, who had been exposed to the world of FPSes ever since he was seven years old, Vic’s maneuver was not impossible to pull off. However, he was not sure if he could pull it off with a hundred percent success rate all the time.

What truly shocked him was Liu Zilang’s decisions throughout the past few times they crossed paths.

This was especially true when he showed resolute determination despite having a grenade thrown at him.

Thinking about that person’s past glories, including being crowned “Strongest Solo King” for three years in a row, Shroud felt that he was worthy of the title…

At the same time, at Sosnovka Military Base which was in the south.

Bang!

A sniper bullet pierced through the air like a rainbow across the sky as it made its way northward toward a forest up in the hills.

A head peeked out from somewhere halfway up the hill. The sniper bullet had already found its target.

Splat!

Blood splashed!

That person fell to the ground.

“SKK-Satan killed Liquid-Jeemzz by headshot with Kar98K!”

After that person had died, the Military Base became deathly silent.

From God’s perspective, it was clear that no one was left at the vast Military Base other than Satan.

Unquestionably, Satan had become the lord of Sosnovka Military Base.

Satan stood on top of Duga Radar Tower like a victorious conqueror, surveying his dominion under his feet.

The radioactive blue circle that was coming from the sea beyond had covered half of Sosnovka Island.

He waited for a little while longer and confirmed that the island had no survivors before he got down from the radio tower and hopped into a small yellow car that was parked by the roadside.

Just as he entered the car, a kill notification popped up at the top right corner of his screen.

Memories surfaced in his mind when he saw the kill notification. He was reminded of his performance in solo matches in the past; of how a silhouette was always in front of him.

Satan narrowed his eyes.

That person had stolen all his glory in the squad tournament. He would not let history repeat itself in the solo tournament.

…

The caster’s camera cut back to Liu Zilang.

He was speechless when he realized that the person whom he had been engaged with was Shroud.

His relationship with Shroud was considered amiable.

They had once streamed on Twitch together. In the squad tournament two days ago, he had even helped Shroud win a chicken dinner.

However, that did not affect his decision to loot his corpse.

It has to be said that Shroud had picked up a decent set of equipment. It was either that, or the loot that spawned at School was very generous.

Not only did Shroud’s crate have an 8x scope, but it also had rare attachments like the Sniper Noise Suppressor.

After happily taking his fill, he planned to set up camp in School until the next circle refreshed.

However, at this time, the rumbling of an airplane engine was heard coming from above his head.

He turned to look toward the source of the noise.

He saw an airplane flying in from the direction of Dragon Inn. It was heading toward the grassy knoll south of School.

He had nothing to do anyway. He lifted the muzzle of his noise-suppressed Kar98K that was equipped with an 8x scope and then fired a shot at the airplane.

Bang!

The live audience members and live stream viewers were speechless when they heard the crisp sound of the sniper…

Wang Qianqian, who was sitting in the front row of the audience seats, had her arms crossed as she shook her head.

‘Childish!’

However, the next moment, her eyes widened.

On the tournament’s big screen, a small black dot appeared beneath the airplane as it flew past the grassy knoll.

What was it, if not an airdrop!

A commotion broke out among the live audience members and live stream viewers as they saw the metaphysical scene!

“Are you kidding me? It f*cking dropped just like that?”

“That’s so unscientific! How can Vic be this lucky without Menhera-chan?”

“Hm… unless Vic has been possessed by Menhera-chan since last night?”

“…”

Liu Zilang was just as equally dumbfounded when he saw the airplane drop the crate.

Liu Zilang was not going to let go of a crate that had dropped so near him.

He ran down the stairs and hopped onto his buggy that was parked behind the wall.

Vroom vroom vroom!

Leaving a trail of sparks and black smoke, the buggy drove past the grassy field in front of the school as it headed toward the grassy knoll in the south.

On the commentary platform.

“Tsk tsk! Vic’s getting pretty lucky these days. Who would’ve expected him to snag an airdrop here?”

“Looks like his lucky streak hasn’t ended yet. I would’ve expected him to be jinxed for five circles after his five consecutive destiny circles yesterday.”

“It’s not going to be smooth-sailing for him though. Another player is coming from the mountain range in the east. Looks like he’ll get there faster than Vic, too!”

“Oh! It’s Jembty from team Faze. He must have noticed the airdrop while camping in the residential area in the east.”

“Yup, he might not have heard Vic’s sniper shot from that distance though, thanks to Vic’s noise suppressor.”

“Then there’s Drainys from team Navi who’s at the puzzle buildings next to School. He doesn’t seem to have any intention of going for the crate. However, he should be able to see the crate from his position.”

“Now that’s interesting. I can’t say for certain whom the crate will end up with.”

“…”

On the grassy knoll south of School.

Clank!

An airdrop crate that was attached to a parachute gently landed on the hillside. It slid for a short distance before it came to a stop.

The airdrop crate emitted a cloud of alluring red smoke.

Pssht!

A two-wheeled motorcycle was dashing toward it.

It braked abruptly near the crate. Its wheels screeched as it did so.

Jembty was slightly faster than Liu Zilan, and he arrived at the crate first.

Just as he hopped off his motorcycle, he heard the sound of a buggy coming from afar.

Jembty did not pay too much attention to it.

He knew that his opponent would have seen him on the crate first, and he believed that his opponent would not recklessly barge in.

His priority was to check out the contents of the crate.

However, as Jembty opened the crate, he did not expect the buggy to continue charging at him.

WTF?

What kind of hot-headed youth is he?
