78 Choose their Fate Third Par

Teruyama's gear is all around level 20 and those are what featured in the online shop. The others are clearly still wearing what the starter equipment they had after entering the game which means they are easy pickings. I am not a professional in terms of doing PK before since I was the one being killed all the time by them. However, in exchange for that painful experience, I learned the trade of doing the right way so that you can benefit from PK a lot. Of course, I don't have to resort to doing something like that just to raise my level. I just need to go in a dungeon and clear it rather than doing some killing on other players.

One of the things that I learned to push the player's level back to level 0 is to revive the player and kill them again. Repeat the process and they will eventually fall to level 0. Many PK players will invite a Cleric to their party to revive the target before the main damage dealer will deal with another big damage before the player can react and dies again.

Many players started to complain about this system and it got fixed a year later. However, since that is not yet fixed in this timeline, then I will let them taste the painful karma that I have built up in the past timeline. I am not some saint that will forget what they have done to me even though the current them are innocent.

Since they were still in the streets while I am still on the rooftops, they have yet to notice my presence stalking to them. They were happily chatting with each other. I can't hear them properly but I am assuming that they are going to accept a quest in town to get some killing done.

Around 3 minutes later, they have accepted a quest from the local meat seller to collect a bunch of Buffalung Meat which is a level 15 monster in the neutral area. Players are not that many here since most of the players are challenging the dungeon of Lesser Purgatory due to the free entry given out by my reward. These guys are beginners so I presume they are still trying to learn the ropes of playing the game.

When they left the Capital, I followed them silently while keeping my distance from them. After arriving, they started to hunt the Buffalung which are neutral monsters and will attack only if attacked by players. Their movements are too noobish and quite weak. It took them a few minutes to defeat one of the Buffalung that can be defeated with a few slashes or shots. I waited for them to finish their hunt before I pull out my Versatile Weapon and transform it into a bow.

They are still discussing their drops and loot while I immediately opened the skill panel for the Hunter Class and purchased the skill [Trueshot- Head] and [Trueshot-Leg].

[Trueshot – Head]

2nd Tier

Mana Cost - 100 MP

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Note: This can also be used to sent cheat answers to your seatmate so that your professor won't notice during exams. Of course, your seatmate will suffer a head bleeding wound first which in turn will catch your professor's attention. Still better than nothing.

[Trueshot – Leg]

2nd Tier

Mana Cost – 100 MP

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Description: Releases a homing arrow into the target. The arrow will always hit the leg of the target and stuns the target. Will immediately inflict a 10-second debuff [Movement Nullification] which renders the target's movements. It also has a 30% chance to inflict [Bleed] to the target.

Note: Useful enough during marathons especially if you are about to be overtaken by enemies. Of course, if you do so, you are automatically disqualified.

These two skills are enough for me to disable them to the extent. They are still lower level so the [Trueshot – Head] will immediately kill them. The [Trueshot – Leg] is just a backup in case someone wanted to escape and leave their teammates. After all, I can't let them leave alive.

Concealing myself, I climb the nearby tree with a very clear vantage point to them and test the bow. With the bow in perfect state, I pull the string of the arrow and aim it to the first guy nearest to me. In just a matter of seconds, the bow materialized an arrow and appeared. Without hesitation, I used the [Trueshot – Head]. Aim, nock, fire!

SU!

The player that I targeted first was their Cleric. And since Clerics has the lowest defense out of all the players in their group who are composed of a Swordsman, Assassin, Paladin, and Cleric. The cleric died and will revive again for 5 minutes in the Cathedral if left alone. 5 minutes is enough for me to disable all of them.

Since the [Trueshot – Head] has a 30-second cooldown, I have to wait a little bit. On the other hand, Teruyama and his remaining allies were surprised.

"What the hell? Sat-chin is down!" the Paladin shouted.

"Somebody is attacking us! It's a player performing a PK! We have to be alert! The enemy must be nearby!" Teruyama who is the Swordsman on their group said, reassuring his teammates.

"Who shot us? I don't see any enemy in the vicinity!" the Paladin trembled despite being the tank.

"Let me check the bushes and trees, I can conceal myself and avoid the enemy attacks due to my class," the assassin said.

Indeed, Assassins are capable of doing that but not for me. I am quite familiar with Assassin's class because I usually deal with them before and I already mastered how to counter them easily. [Shadow Concealment], an Assassin and Ninja skill is needed to be channeled with 30-second chants first to use. This skill will allow the user to disappear insight from the enemy and will be immune to damage during the first attacks. It will reset it's concealment effect once the user attacks.

He was still channeling the skill, and of course, I don't think I will allow him to do that. I aim, nock, and fire! Since the other skill is still in cooldown, the leg one should do the trick to him. The assassin was immediately inflicted with [Stun] and [ Movement Nullification]. And before he can recover, I shoot out 5 arrows consecutively to his chest, causing him to fall and die.

This time, the group fell into a panic. The cooldown of my skill was over already and before they can run away, I shot again and this time, killed the Paladin in one shot once more. The only guy left is Teruyama and he is too scared to move. After all, this isn't similar to video games where you can just watch your character die. You are now directly involved in your character so whatever happened to your character, whether they bleed or got poisoned, the players controlling them will feel it and experience the agony that their characters feel.

Teruyama was scared but he didn't want to die just yet. Since the players who have died from PK will drop their equipment after death, Teruyama stuffed them all into his inventory and started to escape. But who said he can escape?

SU!

And Teruyama fell, dropping the equipment of his teammates. I grinned seeing their dead bodies on the ground. And if they think they can survive, then that is where they are wrong. The punishment game has only just begun.

"Let me have some fun with you guys, shall we?"
