Chapter 478 - WATCHING A FARCE (1/2)

SOMETHING magical was happening at the Winter area.  The players there were slowly being eliminated one after another.  Some of the players who were eliminated didn't even know how they were eliminated.  Some only saw a white shadow.  And a few managed to see a pair of blue eyes sprinkled with gold.

Only after these few were transported to a resurrection spot did they realize that the one who eliminated them was Noctis.  Realizing that, they couldn't help but curse uncontrollably at the white-haired elf.

The elf they'd been cursing was currently standing on one branch of a tree.  He was now at the forest of the Winter area.  Looking at the map in his hands, 80 red dots had vanished.  50 of those were the ones he had eliminated.  So, about 30 were taken down by other players.  But he believed that some of those 30 were probably eliminated by the environmental factors in this area.

Luo Yan wasn't really surprised by that.  Since the Duke of Hearts said that the fastest area that would reach the quota of 4 players would receive a reward, a lot would definitely want to eliminate the other participants as fast as they could.

With that, only 198 players remained.  No, make that 195 players since another three dots disappeared.

He temporarily put back the map in his Items Tab.  The Winter area was divided into three sub-areas.  The snow field where he appeared earlier.  It was near the border of the Winter area and the Autumn area.  The frozen lake that was next to the snow field.  And then the forest.  When one entered it from the frozen lake and they reached the other side of this forest, it would lead them to the sea.

Most of the players were scattered at the forest area which was the biggest of the three.  Of course, he had to go there.  On his way to the forest, he decimated all players that he came across with.

With the help of the map, he managed to take those players by surprise and thus making it easier for him to eliminate them.  He didn't really feel guilty about that.  This was the meaning of battle royale – eliminating one after another until only a certain number of them remained.  He wouldn't just stay put, do nothing, and pray that none of the other players would 'kill' him.  Especially with such a useful map in his possession.

Besides, he's an Assassin.  It's only natural for him to sneak around and 'kill' people stealthily.

Luo Yan looked at the three wolves roaming at the distance.  These were not ordinary wolves.  They were bigger and much more violent.  As long as they heard or saw a player, they would attack them mercilessly.  It's not just wolves, he also saw a huge polar bear that looked like it couldn't wait to maw on something.  As evidence of it snarling and salivating.

It was not just these animals, there were also plants as well.  Flowers that produced icicles when they bloomed.  These flowers only bloomed when it was touched.  If a player was hit by this icicle, they would be frostbitten.  Which kind of suck especially for those who couldn't use their Items Tab.

Those were the ones he had seen so far.  There's probably even more.  These were the environmental factors that the players had to watch out for aside from the other players.

Really, it's like the game just wanted to lessen their numbers as fast as they could.

Luo Yan jumped to another tree and another.  His destination was a spot where a cl.u.s.ter of red dots were.  There were about 20 the last time he counted.  He wondered why these players were together.  Were they having a conference or something?
