192 Chapter 192 - Guardians (1/2)

”Miles, even you couldn't insta-kill Silver Moon back then, right?” These mercenaries vividly recalled their adventure in Yueye City, as it was their grandest affair in Parallel World thus far.

Gu Fei nodded his head, ”Yup. I couldn't.”

”So what do we do to prevent him from unleashing that powerful skill this time?” Royal God Call asked.

Gu Fei glanced at him, ”We'll just have to slash him a second time.”

Royal God Call had no words for his simplistic answer.

The system's ten-second countdown ended, and the teleportation array began to glow in white light, enveloping all those who stood within and transporting them to their respective PvP arenas. There were only a total of sixteen players participating in the match between Young Master's Elite mercenary group and Silver Moon mercenary group, so the map that they were given was relatively small.

”Let's head toward a vantage point and scope out the situation.” Young Master Han employed his usual PvP maneuver.

As they climbed up a small hill near their group's spawn point, they saw a few figures also heading up a hill on the other side of the map.

”How many men are there?” Young Master Han pointed the opposite hill with his liquor bottle to Royal God Call.

Royal God Call placed a hand to his forehead and peered, ”Exactly ten men.” He then shouted to Sword Demon, ”Points, please!”

Gu Fei found this quite strange. He could barely make out the people on the other hill from his position, and his eyesight had been pretty good since young. Was it possible that Royal God Call had better eyesight than him?

Inquiring about the matter, Gu Fei was told that Royal God Call could now use the level 40 passive skill, Eagle Eye, after the latter had advanced to a Sharpshooter. The skill allowed its user to possess eyesight on par with that of an eagle, so it was pretty popular to myopic Archers. Ever since they got Eagle Eye, their myopia became a thing of the past and they could even see objects from afar in-game. These myopic Archers with low self-esteem issues could now stand tall and walk proudly as they gazed on the horizon.

”Royal, keep your eyes on them. Observe their movement for us,” Young Master Han said.

Royal God Call voiced his assent as he proudly monitored the enemies from afar.

While waiting for the enemies to make a move, all of them were doing something on their own to ease the boredom. Royal God Call continued to strain his eyes to observe the movement of the enemies until he became teary eyed; Young Master Han opened a new bottle of liquor and threw it on the ground once he chugged it all down; Gu Fei managed to perform up to the fifth set of moves of a swordplay while he waited; War Without Wounds privately chatted up the eighth lady on his friends list; and Sword Demon and Brother Assist were meticulously discussing the things listed in the scoring booklet... Even after all that, the enemies had hardly made any movement atop the opposite hill.

Young Master Han put a hand inside his dimensional pocket to get another bottle of liquor, only to discover that he was out of it. He promptly stood up and cursed, ”This sucks!” As everyone turned to look at him, he exclaimed indignantly, ”Is this how they actually forced all their past opponents to engage them directly? By turning everyone restless through the long wait?!”

Everyone thought that sentiment made sense. With both sides fighting, surely one group would have to initiate the assault if the other group chose to not make a move.

”If both sides choose not to fight, what will be the system's decision?” Royal God Call asked Brother Assist.

”Overtime will occur, and it will continue on until one side gains a point,” Brother Assist replied.

”Most players who participate in the mercenary PvP tournament usually have the guild versus guild tournament to participate into afterward. These guys seem to be taking advantage of that fact to force their previous opponents into attacking them first. Once their opponents realized that they were running late for the next match, they would of course take the initiative to attack, and this would of course lead to a head-on clash in the end,” Young Master Han broke down the matter at hand.

”Are you perhaps overthinking things again?” Sword Demon did not even lift his head from the booklet.

”Definitely overthinking,” Royal God Call nodded his head, ”They have made a move.”

”Oh?” All stopped whatever they were doing to gaze once more on that distant hill.

When they saw no movement from the opposite hill, they instead focused their eyes on Royal God Call, who heaved a long sigh, ”Looks like they got bored just like us after sitting for so long, so they stretched their bodies for a bit….”

Everyone became quiet for a moment. ”Let's just go to them!” These experts had long lost interest on passing the time by doing random stuff and decided to head straight to Silver Moon to conclude this match.

”Charge!” Young Master Han raised his hand.

”Seriously?” Everyone had actually thought that he would calmly weigh the odds and analyze their current situation.

”I'm outta booze,” Young Master Han explained. ”Let's end this quick so I can go buy some more.”

”You drinking addict!” The others exclaimed as they descended the hill and headed to the opposite side of the map. Royal God Call continued to keep an eye on the enemies along the way, but the opposite side still seemed to be doing nothing.

”Stop!” Young Master Han ordered when they were halfway there.

”What?” they asked.
