Chapter 120: Turning into a Warrior (1/2)

The Woo Woo team was hot on Dan and Scarlett's tail as they fled rapidly through the forest. Leaves and mottled brown flashed bye as Dan traced the paths through he had practised countless times before, whereas Scarlett found herself struggling to follow where Dan had stepped.

The Woo Woo players, on the other hand, had much more experience and were easily able to use this to their advantage, rapidly catching up. Dan had two options, to continue moving forward and help out assist Novis, or to stick with Scarlett.

In the end, despite this just being a game, he just couldn't commit himself to leave Scarlett behind.

”Come on Scarlett, we can do this,” Dan said as he held out his hand.

Scarlett took Dan's hand and pushed herself harder to keep up with her ally. Dan had decided that it was best for them to head deeper into their half of the map where their own towers would be, rather than head for the mid-tower that was closest to Novis.

This route was technically shorter as well, because they would be in the range of there towers quicker. Dan darted around trunks and hastily stepped over roots, find focused on maintaining speed before he was rapidly jarred back into battle, as an arrow slammed into the ground some feet behind him.

Seconds later, another arrow slightly faster than the last came from a different direction. Dan barely managed to lift his gauntlets in time to deflect the arrow. Yet when he put his hand down, he could see the Woo Woo players had already caught up to him.

They were pinned. Even if they did run, both the ranged players would be able to constantly attack them while their back was turned. Dan decided there was no choice for them but to fight back.

Dan headed straight for the single archer player. If he was going to die then he would at least take down one of them with him. The archer was taken aback seeing Dan's suicidal charge.

The archer readied his bow but he was too slow. Dan threw his fist out as hard as he could. However, the sound of metal was heard as he thrust out his gauntlet. When Dan looked in front of him, all he could see was a shield.

The Woo Woo players had regrouped, sending two players to back up their archer, while the other two came from the other direction pincering Dan and Scarlett.

The shield wielder smiled and proceeded to duck down, revealing a large hammer, which proceeded to send Dan flying several feet away into a tree.

The wounded warrior struggled to get up, slowly rising to his feet. Yet moments later, an arrow came shooting out, piercing his leg. Dan then staggered back down to the floor.

”It's over for your team.” The Krang player stated. At the same time, Scarlett's screams could be heard from behind.

She had been injured buy the duel scimitar player, her bow and arrow had been taken, and she was now being led over to Dan while the players held back both of her hands.

”What are you doing?” Dan groaned, ”Just get rid of us.”

”Don't worry, I will.” The Krang player said, grinning as he walked up to Scarlett. He lifted his hammer back, charging up his skill, then slammed it down upon her, bursting the archer into blue particles.

Dan couldn't help but close his eyes as he saw Scarlett's frightened face as the hammer fell down on her.

<Triple Kill>

The Krang player then sauntered back over to where Dan was.

”I want to thank your team for making me look so good. If it wasn't for you guys then I would have never had an opportunity like this.”

The Krang player then swung his hammer once again and as soon as it hit Dan, he too burst into blue particles.

<Quadra Kill>

”What should we do now?” the archer asked. ”Should we take the tower and win the game?”

”No!” the Krang player replied, ”I'm going for the Penta kill.”

This game was being broadcasted online where some universities and Pro teams were looking for the next big players. Getting a Penta kill was something unheard of in this stage of the game, as teams who had made it this far were usually of equal level.

If the Woo Woo player managed to get a Penta kill, it would increase his fame and chances of getting scouted. This was a chance he wouldn't let go.
