"They are trying to climb that make-shift ladder!" Evelyn jumped from her chair after she realized what the pair was trying to do.
She was wrong, after all.
This wasn't a throwing run, but a run that showed both creativity combined with Max's inhuman movement that made this possible.
'Am I the one who's in wrong here?' She thought as she looked at the production crew.
They were all smiling at this unexpected development. Whether the pair could beat the world record or not, this was interesting enough to be talked about in the community for a few days and ignited most streamers to try to speedrun it.
'It seems that I am still too green. Mr. Taka won his bet in the end.'
Back to the screen, Max began to move once again.
"Flexy, shield."
He ran toward his partner and jumped onto the shield, crouching on it to prepare for the next move.
"Hahaha!" Laughing like a maniac, Flexy put his strength on his arms and pushed them with all of his strength at once. "Up you go!"
Max was launched up like a missile. He jumped over 5 meters high and skillfully grabbed one of the swords. He was already halfway to the top. Feeling it was enough to hold him, he hung on it with his legs and extended his arms.
"Hehe, I hate this part." Flexy threw his shield and weapon away and grabbed Max's hands.
Swinging Flexy's around, Max used the momentum to throw his friend up. Once he released his hands, he climbed up like a monkey.
Flexy already trained this move. He skillfully grabbed the axe, which could support his weight, and stood on it. However, his feet slipped just before he could regain his balance.
'Shit!' He panicked as he tried to grab another weapon, but to no avail.
-- Nooo!
-- Is he going to ruin this run too, like before?!
-- Not again, Flexy!!!
-- DUMB FLEXY! DUMB FLEXY! DUMB FLEXY!
-- WAIT GUYS! Breeze is cooking!!
Just as the last chat said, Max was there to save the day. He managed to grab Flexy's armor and caught him before he fully fell to the ground.
"Be careful. We can't lose any time here."
"A-ahahaha, my bad."
-- Nice save!
"Hehe."
A low laugh escaped his lips as he kicked the wall. His body flew in the air with a stretched arm with his hand like a claw, aiming toward the rim of the roof.
-- Badump!
-- REACH ITT!!
-- GOOO! FLYING BREEZE!
-- He will fail! Definitely
-- Nah, he'd win!
And then...
Grab!
He managed to reach it and hung on it with one hand.
"He grabbed it! Breeze successfully grabbing the rim!" Evelyn's voice invited a sigh of relief to everyone in the studio.
RoninKnight snorted, "A new path opened, huh?"
MadLad grounded his teeth in frustration. He didn't believe that Max was able to do it.
StoneSword and Lily smiled when they watched it. Their competitive spirit was reignited.
'I should've taken that second chance.' StoneSword lamented. 'But well, maybe that's no use. I should be grateful to be given a chance to get the sword record in this program. Breeze is a skilled guy, that's for sure.'
A big, satisfied smile appeared on Max's face.
"Fuck yeah!!" He shouted excitedly as he climbed up and took down the enemy's flag. Soon, the barbarians would storm the roof to get him.
Before that, he got to the hole once again and extended his hand while hanging on his feet.
"Jump, Flexy!"
"Hehe, you did it!"
Laughing in satisfaction, Flexy kicked the table. It couldn't handle his weight and fell, causing a loud crashing noise.
As for the man himself, he managed to grab Max's hands, pulled above, and landed on the roof. His grin widened as he watched the barbarians' army going toward them from two sides.
Max handed one of his axes to his friend and stood back to back. The progress bar increased steadily, faster than when only one player was inside the area.
"Don't ever step outside the area, even if it kills you," Max warned with a stern voice as he prepared to have another fight.
"I will try my best."
