Chapter 705 - Sharp Shooter II

The players of each country have different views on how they will approach this event. Some split up while others grouped up, but the safest bet would be to group up. They might be easier to target but not everyone will immediately try to start a fight with an opposing team.

The vast majority of the groups did not split up while only about seven countries split up in order to look for the targets. Not even a minute into the match, a startling system notification already gave the players a sense of awareness of the threat of the best archer in the game.

[Player Hou Yiwei (China) has successfully destroyed a target. He earns one point for his group.]

The fact that it has only been a few seconds that someone already scored meant that the groups need to step up their game. Some saw this as a signal to immediately find targets to score while other teams stayed cool and assessed the situation.

"Oh! It seems that player Hou Yiwei kick started our event by getting the first point of the game in less than a minute! He is not the rank one archer in the game for no reason after all. The other teams started to panic and sprinted to make sure that they move faster while the other teams just stayed calm and collected to assess the shocking situation!" The announcer stated as a series of notifications suddenly sounded.

[Player Hou Yiwei (China) has successfully destroyed a target. He earns one point for his group.]

[Player Hou Yiwei (China) has successfully destroyed a target. He earns one point for his group.]

[Player Hou Yiwei (China) has successfully destroyed a target. He earns one point for his group.]

"Oh! It seems that player Hou Yiwei is on fire as he is now giving their country a four-point lead against the other teams. How will the other players respond to the sudden gap that arose in just a minute!" The announcer stated as the crowd went wild for the performance that Hou Yiwei has shown.

"To think that monster has already started to score that early!" Blade, the person that treats himself as the rival of Hou Yiwei, muttered as he immediately devised a plan for their success in the event.

Blade is a representative of Japan which Vayu is also a representative of. Others might not know this but Vayu in real life is actually his teacher when it comes to martial arts that uses the katana as the weapon. Blade might not want to admit it but in terms of skill in using the sword then his teacher is far superior to him.

The only reason that he is currently more powerful than his teacher right now is because of his earlier start in the game and that his teacher is only playing casually. Blade is actually the one who persuaded the Japan team coach to include his teacher in the roster as a player despite him not being that young like the other members that are in their 20s.

"Sensei, we will proceed with the plan. You must discover and destroy the Golden Sprite no matter what. That is the only way for us to win this competition with that archer on the opposing team." Blade stated as he knows that this type of event is basically easy for Hou Yiwei.

They must be spontaneous and a risk taker in order for them to have a chance of winning. Blade himself is not much of a long-range specialist but he is able to take out members of the opposing teams. They have a mage and an archer on their team which is enough for them to get the points to survive.

"Understood. Be careful of other players but I will not stay to far from the team for the first hour. It is the most critical as it seems that there are other teams focused on lessening the competition." Vayu stated as his form suddenly became pure wind and vanished.

"Oh! It seems that contestant Vayu has suddenly vanished into thin air! I meant that in a literal way. What is Team Japan planning when they sent one of their members away?" The announcer stated in order to hype the crowd as they saw that Vayu literally became wind before vanishing.

They are now speculating on what type of assassin Vayu is, but they do not know of an assassin that uses a katana. They are actually more shocked that Blade called Vayu his sensei. This could only mean that the two of the know each other and could pull off great synergy due to their bond with one another.

The other thing that caught their attention is that Vayu seemed familiar, and it is then that one of the audiences shouted that he is the swordsman that accompanies 'The Demon'. In honesty though, the audience is slightly bitter that the player with the nickname 'The Demon' did not enter the competition as it would make the event even better.

But now that they know that Vayu is participating on the event, a lot of people started to keep their eyes on him, but he vanished in the screen as if he became a ghost. He then materialized later about five hundred meters away from his team like a small tornado.

Numerous speculations started filling up the screen on what type of race he is inside of the game. He might look like a human but there is something more to his form as his long hair is freely flowing in the air as if it is the air itself.

The whole arena is now focused on Vayu as he once again vanished like the wind. The next thing that the audience saw is that he destroyed one of the hidden targets in the tree leaves.

[Player Vayu (Japan) has successfully destroyed a target. He earns five points for his group.]

"He noticed that the leaves of the trees were rustling." Adrian muttered which made all those in the VIP room look towards him.

"The audience might not know but the old man is the most sensitive of all the players we know.." Marlon added.
