Chapter 197 Everlasting Vs Exalted 2

[NightCrawler: Help, we are under attack!]

Splat!

[Lethality Damage Success]

[NightFall is in Killing Spree!]

[Dimitri from Exalted has been killed]

Hiro immediately eliminated Dimitri after the rogue managed to finish off Noah. Luckily, Wheelie immediately used his [Revive] skill to revive Noah so he could continue his task.

“Stay focused! You can kill him later, but now focus on the tower! I’ll go to the mining lane.” Hiro held Noah’s shoulder as the man looked furious and wanted to beat Dimitri’s body, which was still frozen on the ground because he was dead, but no one came to revive him. There were no clerics left in the middle lane, and even if there were, Hiro and the others wouldn’t let the clerics revive Dimitri.

“All right. Jacob, protect me, you Noobie knight!” Noah complained.

“I am really sorry. I didn’t see him coming.” Jacob looked really sorry for letting Dimitri attack Noah. He was also annoyed that Dimitri managed to get past him and even killed a player he should have protected well as Hiro had trusted him.

“No, this time he’ll come back for Wheelie,” Hiro said confidently, while looking at Wheelie. Wheelie looked surprised. Her eyes widened, and she looked a little scared. After all, being killed in the game meant feeling an excruciating pain, especially if the killer was a sadist like Dimitri.

“I’ll never let him get closer to Wheelie.” Cara certainly wouldn’t let that happen, and Hiro believed in her.

“I’ll be back soon. Please. At least destroy one tower before I get back. Noah, it’s your turn to lead here!”

Hiro didn’t have to wait any longer to dash toward the dark turn on the right of the arena. He used [Demon’s Eyes] which was so reliable in the dark. He didn’t need a fire torch to get to the crystal flower farming place.

He shot off at full speed. However, the notifications about the crystal flowers appearing on the system over and over again were still overpowered by Exalted.

“Damn, I didn’t expect that they would go farming. How could they do that? And only Dimitri in the middle lane? Are they planning to make this game last for hours?”

Hiro avoided areas that had giant trap monsters and hid in the dark. The monsters were not fit to be fought as they could use a one hit one kill attack that could kill anyone in the area, and he had to wait for an automatic respawn time.

Whoosh!

[Noah: Damn, this tower is impossible to destroy. Hurry up and stop them, NightFall]

Hiro finally arrived at the farming arena. At the same time he landed there, a giant crystal flower appeared in front of him. The giant crystal flower was a special crystal flower that took longer to destroy than the normal crystal flowers. And that giant Crystal flower appeared randomly. Sometimes, it didn’t even appear.

Destroying 1 giant crystal flower was equal to 20 times destroying an ordinary crystal flower.

Hiro jumped high while raising his sword vertically before concentrating all his energy in his hands, and he slashed at the crystal with all his might.

Pranggg!

[Giant Crystal Flower has been destroyed by NightFall]

[Crystal Flower has been collected 20x by Exalted]

The giant Crystal flower cracked and shattered into crystal shards which then melted into the air.

“Damn, why did the system use my name in the announcement? They’ll know that I’m coming.”

Hiro kept running until he arrived behind the backs of the four core party players from Exalted. They were standing in front of the borderline safezone for Everlasting, so that none of them dared to get out of the safezone or they would be killed easily by Ace, Alaric, Niklaus, and Liberty.

Meanwhile, behind them were 10 low-level Exalted players who were trying to destroy the crystal flower that had appeared with their weapons.

No one saw Hiro coming from back, so Hiro quickly dashed forward to finish off 10 low-level Exalted players while snatching the crystal flower with one slash.

Splat!

Splat!

Splat!

[Fatal Damage]

The members who were given the task of farming the flower crystals were very weak. Hiro didn’t know that Exalted, the once strongest guild, accepted such players. However, it actually benefited him.

[Crystal Flower has been collected 5x by Exalted]

[Crystal Flower has been collected 5x by Exalted]

The 10 players were killed and the crystal flower was stolen. However, at the same time, Hiro managed to become the center of attention.

“Hiro!” Liberty shouted, looking very happy to see Hiro’s action. Her eyes widened in amazement. The girl didn’t seem to mind at all that her guild would be defeated.

“I see. So, you guys are really here, huh? Totally unpredictable,” said Hiro, trying to provoke Ace and the others to get away from the safezone so that the Everlasting members could run out of the safezone to farm crystal flowers again.

“You, what is the strongest player doing here?” Ace pulled out his sword, which had overwhelmed Hiro in the past. However, this time, Hiro confidently raised his sword and believed that the vampire blood-eater was far better than Ace’s sword.

“Come on. Kill me if you can!”

?[0??]? Whoosh!

Ace didn’t charge forward alone. He sped along with a shot of water that came out of Alaric’s hands.

Splash!

Hiro slashed the water shot until it split in two before swinging his sword at Ace, who had made his swords fused perfectly.

Clank!

Splat!

Clank!

“Don’t get in my way, Alaric!”

Clank!

Hiro smiled as he counterbalanced Ace’s swordplay, which looked very graceful, the nobility style. Hiro was sure that Ace had got private sword lessons like ancient European royalty when he was a child.

However, such graceful and nobility movements were too stiff to deal with Hiro’s unexpected improvised sword movements.

Splat! Splat!

[Fatal damage]

[-25,600] [-15,230]

Ace was thrown into the air and fell to the ground. Hiro still remembered that the armor used by Ace was light type armor that only had a small defense because he needed speed to swing his light sword.

“Damn!” Ace was still able to get back on his feet, and his hands signalled Alaric and Niklaus not to disturb him.

Hiro actually felt very benefited by it.

“I am really sorry, Libe’s brother. But I have no choice. I have to win this game.”

Splat!

[Fatal damage]

A single vertical sword slash managed to slash Ace’s chest, but Hiro also used [Demon’s Claw] at the last minute, digging his sharp claws into Ace’s heart and making Ace feel a very painful preview of a terrible death.

“I’m really sorry.” Hiro felt bad because, after all, he was the older brother of the girl he was dating.

Ace grabbed Hiro’s cloak by the wrist and pulled him closer. “I’ll come back to kill you.”
