Chapter 117 - Pioneers Of Sandurk Part 5

The players were surprised when they heard the method of player selection for the title of "Pioneer of Sandurk". From what I can tell, most of the players here have never killed another player by using the PK system. Even in duels and arena, you can only reduce an enemy's HP to a minimum of 1 for you to win. So when Titania said that it will be a battle royale, many are anxious.

Dolly did not shake hearing that so maybe she isn't afraid at all. Harmless Sparrow smiled only and laugh hearing that.

"I never expected the goddess to choose a unique method like this for selection!"

"Uh, there are many cases of this trope in anime and movies, so there is no reason for us to be surprised. We should instead be worried on how to continue surviving and secure a slot for the event," Dolly said.

"Dolly is right. Unlike monsters with predictable movements, players don't have a fixed moveset especially in the early days like this. They would sometimes adapt new tactics to defeat others so we needed to be always careful," I said to her.

"Nonesense! Most players here are either trying too hard to show their dominance, only to fail miserably. Its much better to deal with them before they can do any kind of damage to you."

The players were surprised when they heard Titania's method of selection. To many, they thought they will have to hunt monsters and fill some quests as fast as possible before the others but it was not. As for me, I am not surprised but I already expected it since I am quite familiar on Titania's ways and attitude. I would be more surprised if she didn't choose this kind of method.

I kind of understand why Titania used this method. I heard during the first raid that occurred on Sandurk and was one of the exclusive raids that only the Pioneers are able to join in, the battle was the hardest and surprising ones in the Sandurk expedition. If the players that time has leveled up a lot higher, they would have cleared it without much problem. So in other words, those who cannot handle normal players in a battle royale will never be able to survive long in the Sandurk Expedition and will have to grind to gain levels and do the raid.

Many players are looking anxious as they looked around each other. I can tell that they are afraid to be the ones to get eliminated the moment the battle begins. Well, I am not anxious at all. Just a little bit excited since my original target of my revenge is currently with us. I can't wait to begin.

Dolly was quite determined and swings her rod for few while. Harmless Sparrow nodded like she understood what will happen next.

"It will be a thrilling fight soon, we should get ourselves ready! Remember to back up any of us having a hard time against an enemy alright?" Harmless Sparrow said.

"Sure!" Dolly happily complied.

Pulling out my weapon, everyone also pull out their weapons, ready to engage in battle.

"The last 15 people standing will be the players that will gain access to the next region immediately and will be awarded with the title. Now, let the killings begin!"

The moment she said that, an assassin immediately attacks, stabbing the person in front of him dead. And the battle begins as the players started dealing with the attacks and try to take the position.

I didn't bother to care on the very small fries who keep trying to attack me. The moment they do so, they immediately disappear like bubble in my radar and their names will appear to have eliminated and I will continue the fight. Soon, my eyes landed on the target player, Kazuki.

"HUP!"

With a spin, holding the Versatile Weapon in my hand, I swing it hard to his neck. It was in the form of a Staff before but the moment it was about to land into his neck, I immediately changed it to a katana and before he can even defend from the attack...

SLASH!

-(Title Effects Activated! Instant Kill!)

My katana penetrated his neck and his head came off flying.

(System Announcement: Kaisar has been eliminated!)

Some of Kaisar's subordinates who went with him were stunned when they heard the announcement. Before they can react, some of the players who wanted to get a kill immediately strike to the opportunity and just like that, 7 players were immediately eliminated.

Dolly didn't have much problem dealing the enemies and with a few magic spells of tier 2, she immediately dispose most of the attackers. Harmless Sparrow is also gracefully fighting too without much problem that she didn't need to even bother using skills and just kill using the basic attacks in quick succession.

I also did quick kills on my own and the battle royale didn't last that long for everyone to struggle with. Before everyone can fully struggle, Titania raised her hands and a warning appeared on our interface.

[You cannot fight in a peaceful zone]

It looks like we are already done. Bodies of various players who were killed in different manners were scattered all over the ground. If this is a real life situation, this is already a very troublesome matter and police will surely be alarmed and will do everything to capture the one doing it.

"It looks like the battle has already concluded without much problem."

I looked around me and confirmed Dolly and Harmless Sparrow to be safe and still standing. As for Kazuki's group, no one survived and the most humiliating part is his death as he was the very first guy to be eliminated without effort in the battle.

"Congratulations to everyone left standing among all the players who participated the Battle Royale. Now that you all have proven to be outstanding players, you are now all Pioneers of the Sandurk Region. The expedition will begin tomorrow morning. Please prepare until tomorrow as you guys will be temporarily cannot be able to return to the Capital once you arrive Sandurk."

I grinned and mentally celebrated. Things will start to be interesting.
