248 Chapter 248 - The Mysterious T-Zone (2/2)

The two then tried it out, attempting to come into the triangular zone from any of the three directions, on the left as well as on the right. It was exactly as Sakurazaka Moony had said; no matter which way they walked through it, they would step on to a marked circle in three or fewer steps.

”The circles… Will the traps really be that large?” one of the two asked as he stepped on to a circle.

”He he… This is a game; what else do you take it for? Even traps have AOE. As long as the target's foot lands somewhere in the area, the trap will activate and restrict the person's movement. Do you guys think that a person must step on a trap dead center to activate it?” Sakurazaka Moony asked.

”Oh….”

Sakurazaka Moony continued to happily explain, ”Actually, if we have enough men on our side, this T-zone can be enlarged further. In that way, he'll trigger a trap even if he's just walking in a straight line. Unfortunately, we currently don't have that many men. This is the best we can do that still have a 100% guarantee of success. Since we can't stretch it all the way to the wall, our target must take this route. Only in that way can we catch him with surety. Can that person who's acting as the bait do this?”

”This… It shan't be a problem!” the two players felt that this particular aspect was something they could control.

”This is how we're gonna set the traps, then.” With that, Sakurazaka Moony ordered the bickering players behind him, ”Pipe down and stop your petty quarreling! Place your traps!”

Except for setting the traps, none listened to Sakurazaka Moony's order to stop their bickering. It was at this point that Nightmare of Death's two friends thought of something, ”Wait a sec.”

”What is it?” Sakurazaka Moony gazed at them questioningly.

”While your T-zone is 100% guaranteed to work, our friend who is doing the luring of the target will also be unable to escape once he turns to this corner himself. What then?” the two asked.

”Oh! So that's how you're luring the enemy. You should've said something earlier!” Sakurazaka Moony rearranged some of the circles inside the triangle and pointed at a particular spot, saying, ”There wasn't such a Y-shaped empty space originally, but since you want your friend to walk away unscathed, I'll leave this path here free of traps for him. Tell him to be careful. It's not my responsibility if he still steps on a trap.”

”This… How are we supposed to relay this to him?” The two were alarmed. The coordinates in the game were for an area. This entire triangular zone that Sakurazaka Moony had created was part of one set of coordinates. Telling Nightmare of Death of the area's coordinates would not work. These two men felt at a loss on how to express in words the workings of the triangular zone.

”How about this…” Sakurazaka Moony used the stick once more to draw out a faint Y shape on the ground. ”Tell him to step on the line drawn out here when he arrives; he definitely won't trigger anything this way. Still, I can't make it too obvious, so tell him to look closely. Is that guy's vision alright?”

”It's absolutely fine!” the two hurriedly replied.

”It's settled, then! We'll set the traps now, so you guys can lure the target over. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can finish the mission!”

Sakurazaka Moony showed unwavering self-confidence as he spoke, which made Nightmare of Death's two friends believe that he was a true expert. The aura he exuded changed once he started talking about the traps. It was just as Nightmare of Death had said; this person was indeed the number one expert trapper despite him dropping a level and temporarily being unable to set traps.

The two relayed all the information pertaining to the triangular zone trap to Nightmare of Death, reminding him to look for the Y-shaped outline on the ground. ”You certainly won't step on a trap if you tread on this outline to get across, so you better be careful!”

At this point in time, however, Sakurazaka Moony was bickering with the members of his guild and mercenary group.

”F*ck me, Moony. What T-zone? Fabricating something like that… You're such a sleazebag!”

”You even drew all those circles and crosses inside the T-zone. How shameless and despicable can you be?! No wonder you can't find yourself a girl!”

”The AOE of Hunting Trap isn't that wide; you're just cheating these strangers!”

”F*ck*ng swindling our clients… How are we gonna continue doing business at this rate? We'll surely fold and go under one of these days!”

”Stop your d*mn nagging and just get to work!” Sakurazaka Moony cursed on the mercenary channel.

”F*ck! Just where should I put it?! Why did you draw such a large circle?!” someone complained.

”Who told you guys to put it in the circles? Stuff them all in that Y-shaped outline!” Sakurazaka Moony ordered.
