Chapter 127: No rival of mine (1/2)

Inside one of Goldware corp's IT rooms, there was currently a room filled with around fifty employees. Each one would be monitoring a match that they deemed as suspicious.

”Hey Tom, I think we have something going on in the Berkshire tournament.” An employee said.

”Berkshire tournament, isn't that where Novis is?” Tom said, ”Display the match on the big screen and rewind it a few and show me what you found.”

Just then on the large monitor at the back of the room, it was now displaying the match between Westgate and Eastwood. Then it had just shown what Mortem had done to do NPC knights in the game.

”What, how is that possible?” An employee said, ”Is it a bug in the game?”

”No, I think we have found ourselves a spirit.” Tom said, ”Check who's playing right now.”

”It's Lucas bell.”

As soon as Tom heard the name he nearly stumbled back and fell over.

”If Justin found out he'll kill us, what do we do now?” Tom thought.

Inside the match, Luke had just witnessed the devastating massacre that Lucas had performed.

”This is not possible, it's inhuman not even the pros can do something like this.”

Then it seemed like Luke had lost all reasoning, he no longer felt like he was in a game but instead, he now felt fear. He dropped his sword and turned his back running towards his tower, his instinct was telling him he wanted to live. But before Luke had even taken a few steps, he heard a voice whisper into his ear.

”Where do you think you're going?” Mortem said.

And the next second Lucas head had been sliced off and burst into blue particles.

”Now this is kinda fun, but it's a shame there is no blood.”

”What the hell, how did Lucas get so much better!” Novis shouted, ”That's impossible, there's no way I can compete with that.”

The others hearing Novis's words felt the same way. What they had just witnessed, no matter what kind of strategy they had come up with, they couldn't face against something like this. However, Arthur decided to keep what he had learnt a secret from Novis.

”Shouldn't we tell the boy?” George asked.

”No, we need to wait and see how Novis reacts, perhaps now that he thinks Lucas is so far ahead it will be another turning point for him in his training. If it doesn't have a positive impact and the boy gets disheartened, then we can tell him.”

The fight inside the game continued, with Mortem know exploring around the map, she first headed to the top lane, where the other players were locked in combat.

”Lucas fall back, we can handle this ourselves.” The Westgate players said but Mortem ignored their words and instead went forward and attacked his own players.
