The situation was simple. Sato was surrounded, trapped in the grasps of the RoyalKnights Guild, Tyron's guild. Everywhere he looked was the same, death. He was staring death right in the eyes. Since his respawn, this will probably be his first death.
"You have any last words, you filthy peasant?" Tyron made sure to enunciate his last three words. He would always make a point to rub it in on Sato that his social standings were higher than his.
Was it an Inferiority complex? Sato didn't know why he was targeted by Tyron. Regardless, Sato stood still in the center of everything. His mouth curved upwards. His eyes didn't falter. His hands never loosen his hold of his blades.
Tyron furrowed his eyebrows in dissapointment. "Why aren't you trembling in fear? You know that you are going to die in my hands any second now right?"
"Why is there a need to fear death at this point?" Sato shrugged his shoulders. "Fearing death wouldn't help my situation."
"Pffff..." Tyron started to laugh at Sato again.
"Acting tough in a hopeless situation is so typical for peasants like you and Ming over there. After all, that is all you can do..."
"Don't drag Ming into this, Tyron. This grudge is between you and me. Even if I were to die in your hands, I will try my very best to drag you down with me!"
Focused, Sato brandished his blades as he ran straight at Tyron. Seeing Sato act, Tyron panicked slightly, faltering as he got behind his guildmates.
"Kill him!"
The two players in front of Tyron were the two co-leaders of the guild, SummerWind and TerriblyGood. Both of them specialised in defence and offence. Activating Light Guard, the armour that they were wearing started to glow brightly.
*Light Guard
*Grants additional 50 armour and magic resistance for 2 minute. All Darkness related spells and abilities will have 40% reduced damaged.
Thinking through this, he didn't use Blink just yet to get past the two Paladins. Knowing the players in Tyron's guild, there were many of them that had crowd control effects. Sato sparred with the two of them. One on Sato's left and the other on his right. They continued to strike down on the assassin. Yet, the solo player was relentless in his defence and was even able to damage the two paladins.
However, it was of no use as Tyron's team had two Priests that healed them back to full.
"Haha! You may be one slippery assassin, but against so many players, what can you do?" Tyron taunted Sato. "Mages cast your crowd control on him now."
There were 3 mages in Tyron's team, two of them casted Area of Effect spells that required Sato to be in the area to be stunned. The other had used a sure-fire hit spell.
Perfect. Sato had been waiting for this moment. He knew that no matter what he does from this moment on, he would eventually perish. Thus, in order to maximise his returns, he was hell-bent on killing Tyron.
Just as the spells were about to hit him, Sato used Blink. Other than the skill being able to get him right beside Tyron, he would be immune to all stun effects for a whole second! Thus, just as the explosion where Sato originally stood happened, he had already reached behind Tyron.
Backstab, triggering a critical strike, followed by a Dagger Throw and another Backstab. He was comboing his attacks as much as possible.
Tyron was surprised that Sato was able to escape from it. In addition, where was his damage coming from?! He had managed to lower his health by a third. Not only that, only 15 seconds had passed since he had used his skill, he needed to wait for another 5 seconds.
When the guild members had realised that Sato was right on their leader, they couldn't do much. If they were to target Sato, it would most definitely damage their leader too.
"Hea.. Healers quickly heal me back!" Tyron stuttered for fear of death.
"Wishful thinking."
Tyron had not notice, but Whitie who had left earlier with the group was actually hiding and awaiting the next orders. Right now, it was occupying the three priest's time.
"Its time for you to die." Sato took out a dynamite looking item that he had bought for this war. It was the DX500, a dwarven specialty item.
*DX500 (Consumable Item)
*When activated, after 5 seconds, the Dynamite contraption will explode and deal 500 true damage to everything within a 10 meter radius.
When Tyron noticed the item, he started to panic even more. He knew the damage that would be dealt to him and at his current health, it would be impossible to live.
"Sato, Sato I'm sorry for what I had said earlier. Please spare me! I'll let you go too!" Tyron tried to negotiate for his life. He wanted to be a part of the victory in this war and not just be a spectator.
"Save your words, Tyron. I'm definitely killing you today. This is not just for what you did earlier, but also for all the times that you took advantage of your status to bully me in game!" Sato smiled devilishly.
"Goodbye Tyron." The DX500 had ticked down to 0, just as Tyron's immobilisation was finally over.
"Boom!"
The once flat ground had a newly formed crater. There was translucent grey smoke that floated in the air. Only Sato was left in the crater, Tyron had been taken out of the battlefield. At this point, Sato was only left with a 100HP. He was surely going to die to the remaining players.
"Kill me now, if you must avenge your dumbass leader." Sato smiled care-freely.
The mages had already fully charged up their spells and had aimed it the crater. Bzoom! Three different coloured spells of destruction blasted out from the respective mages. The second boom happened. More smoke rose in the air.
Now, Sato was gone too.
