Chapter 73 - Episode 73: Skirmish Event. (3)

A bright light came from underneath Trevor and the light particles flew up to the sky, his eyes started to glow. Hundred of players from the enemy team ran toward Trevor while Oscar and the others watched from the distance with worries. It surprised them that Trevor fearlessly ran towards the enemy. In an instant, he was surrounded by the enemy team.

Oscar sighed and looked down.

"He's done..."

Dennis tapped Oscar's shoulder.

"Look!"

Oscar lifted his head and his mouth opened so widely. Trevor knocked down some of the players and some were thrown away. Trevor was grinning excitedly and kept attacking the players relentlessly. He dodged every single attack that thrown at him. From arrows, spells, to blades. He killed hundreds of players in less than 5 minutes. Oscar and the others gulped and looked at the damage he dealt, it was unbelievably high. The more he killed, the severer his damage is. What surprised them the most was Trevor didn't use a single skill the whole time. He just hacked and slashed the enemy with pure strength.

Dennis cleared his throat and nervously looked at Oscar.

"Is this the proof of how strong the top 10 players in the world are?"

Oscar shook his head.

"I don't know... I never fought against one of them."

Trevor massacred the players who were surrounding him. Then the enemy team moved away to the sides. They saw Ken standing in the middle on his own. He slowly walked towards Trevor and unsheathed his Nodachi sword and held it with both of his hands. Trevor looked at him and without hesitation ran towards him. Ken readied his defensive stances and patiently wait until Trevor get in range. As soon as Trevor was in range, Ken slashed his sword at him but Trevor dodged it and dashed to his side. Ken immediately react and covered his back with his sword. Trevor slashed him but he blocked it. Thanks to the momentum, Ken leaped backward to make some distance between them.

Ken sheathed his Nodachi sword and removed it from him then stabbed it to the ground. He unsheathed his katana and held his katana with both hands. He spread his legs, lowered his body that almost touched the ground. He held his sword close to his face. Trevor ran towards him and then...

*Clank*

Trevor's scythe flew up in the air. Ken just disarmed him. He smirked but it surprised him that Trevor didn't stop and a fist was right at his face.

*Boom*

Trevor just punched him so hard that Ken got dragged to the ground. Trevor ignored his scythe and leaped forward to stomp Ken with his fist. Ken rolled over and managed to dodge his punch. Ken stood up and smirked while readying his stances.

"Mon-su-tah (Monster)."

Trevor and Ken kept fighting one on one while everyone is watching them. Trevor with his bare hands punched Ken so many times and it was nothing that couldn't ignore since Trevor's damage with his bare hands were quite high. Ken leaped backwards to make some distance again. Ken sheathed his katana and readied his stance again. He looked at his feet and closed his eyes. Trevor's footsteps were getting closer and then Ken opened his eyes and blinked and passed through him with his katana on his right hand pointing at the sky. He turned around and he was surprised that he missed even though that skill can't miss. Ken turned around and looked at his members. He lowerd his katana and pointed at Oscar and the crystal behind him.

"Kougeki!"

They started to scream and charged toward Oscar. Oscar and the others readied their stances. Oscar turned around.

"This is! Don't let them hit our crystal!"

Ken turned around and pointed his sword at Trevor, but he was surprised that Trevor wasn't there. He looked around and looked at where Trevor's scythe is at. Trevor already grabbed his scythe and looked at Ken from the corner of his eyes and smirked. Trevor ran towards the group of hundreds of players in front of him. Ken sheathed his katana and ran as fast as he could to catch up with him, but Trevor's moves speed was way faster than his.

Oscar lifted his sword.

"Attack!"

They charged at the enemy and they started clashing their weapons with them.

As they have expected, they were no match for them. One by one, they died in just a few hits. Some of them were stunned and paralyzed then getting stomped by the enemy. 49 players against 20 of them and they couldn't even handle a single player on their own. Oscar shook his head and ordered the one who are still alive to retreat and protect the crystal.

They all struggled to protect the crystal and 2 of the enemy players were attacking the crystal. Oscar told his members to ignore them since it will take a while to destroy the crystal if it's just the 2 of them. Oscar pushed the player in front of him with his shield and lifted his sword.

"We will not let you win so easi-"

Oscar went silent and everyone looked at him with confusion, including the enemy players. Then they looked at what Oscar is looking at. Trevor up high in the air behind the enemy and then plunged at them in the middle of the group of players with his scythe. The ground turned black like a shadow and they players around it couldn't move as if something holding their legs. Trevor lifted his scythe and swung it around him. A few players died just from that. He killed dozens of player until the black shadow on the ground disappeared. The rest of the Black Shadow clan members turned around and looked at Trevor, they immediately charged at him.

Trevor slashed his way out from the crowd and killed whoever got hit by his attacks. Then a nodachi sword was flying towards him, he dodged it and the sword struck the ground. Ken charged in and attacked Trevor with a tremendous speed. Trevor finally took a few damage from it and dozens of players were attacking them at the same time. Trevor was fine, but he still have to take care thousands of them.

Trevor swung his scythe at Ken, but Ken leaned his whole body back and the tip of the blade was an inch from his nose. He barely dodged it and immediately dashed backward. Ken breathed heavily because it took him by a surprise. Ken knew if he got hit once from Trevor's attack, he would die. Not just him, but the rest of them also knew about it. They carefully attacked him while taking turn to attacking him to minimize the chance getting hit by Trevor's attack. They were all ready to sacrificing themselves if needed to prevent him from helping Oscar and the others. Even though Trevor seemed fine, he took quite a lot of damage. Oscar and the others were watching him getting hit from everywhere.

Oscar looked at everyone and he nodded. They nodded with an agreement. They couldn't stand watching him struggling for their sake. Oscar then screamed.

"Good Game!"

[Black Shadow Clan is the winner of this match!]

[Black Shadow Clan is now rank [218] in the Eluna Empire's bracket leaderboard]

Everyone stopped attacking Trevor and they all looked at the notification in the sky and then they looked at Trevor. Trevor looked at the notification and smirked. He rest his scythe on his shoulder and walked past them. Ken blocked his path and Trevor tilted his head while raising his eyebrows. Ken lifted his hand for a handshake with a smile on his face. Trevor smiled and grabbed his hand. They both looked at each other and both of them chuckled. Ken bowed down.

"Good game, it was fun. I hope we can see each other again but not in the battlefield."

Trevor smiled and bowed down as well.

"Me too. It was indeed fun, thanks for the game."

The rest of them then bowed at Trevor as well. Oscar and the others ran toward them. They all shook their hands while Trevor is standing on the back on his own. Then a screen appears in front of him.

[Horizon Clan is eliminated in the open qualifier. A reward will be given at the end of the Celeberation Event. Thank you for participating the event! We will see you again in the next Skirmish Event!]

After everyone is done shaking their hands with the enemy's team. They all approached Trevor. Oscar stood at the front and lifted his hand for a handshake. Trevor smiled and shook his hand and Oscar smiled happily. Trevor tilted his head.

"Why did you end the game so early? We still have the chance to win the game."

They all shook their heads. Oscar smiled.

"Even if we won the game, the next opponent could be harder than this. We couldn't even hold them off in this match. We don't want to win the game by just watching you carrying us in every matches. We are not qualified to compete, so it's pointless for us to go further. We all agreed to forfeit for now and raise our levels until the next skirmish event. We want to win the matches with our own strength."

Trevor smirked and shook his head.

"I see. Well then, thank you for the game, guys! I guess it's time for me to leave the clan. It was fun."

They all smiled and nodded happily.

"Thank you for helping us!"

Trevor nodded and left the clan, then he got kicked out from the arena because of it. Oscar turned around and looked at everyone.

"Let's raise our level! The event is still up for a week, let's farming and leveling!"

They all nodded and then left the arena.

I'm on my way to farm Betelgeuse's Coin and then a message notification appears in front of me.

[How nice of you. It was interesting to watch, Trev. I'm glad that you're having fun with the players. I wish I can do that.]

I smile weakly and reply.

[Yeah, it was nice. I wish you're here as well, Becker.]

He didn't reply after that.
