《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 48: God like skills
Advertisement
Arthur noticed while playing a few games in platinum, that the difference in skill would always jump up once they reached a new division. From gold to platinum players started to utilise their skills a lot better and work as a team more. There wasn't much difference in the subdivisions though. This might be due to the fact that the teams were balanced out between players from platinum 5 and platinum 1.
What this meant for Arthur though, was there now wasn't many chances for him to fight one on one. As the enemy team would group up and support each other more often. He might get a small scuffle in mid but when the player knew he was too weak, he would sacrifice the tower early on and join up with teammates.
The audience watching the ID Pendragon wanted to see how he would deal with this new situation. If he was truly a pro player, he would be able to command the other players to an easy win. Pro players weren't only good at fighting but they needed to be good at tactics also, when to move in and when to fall back.
The first few matches Arthur's team came out as the victor but it was the same a before, Arthur would beat his opponent and then go wandering around the map finishing the others off. But the audience wanted to see more.
As Arthur started his next platinum game, he went down the middle lane but his opponent wasn't there. Suddenly one of his teammates started shouting at him.
"Hey, Pendragon there all at the bottom lane, we need your help as soon as possible."
There was currently a battle between 4 players on the red team and 5 on the blue team. In a battle where the players were evenly matched a single player made a huge difference. Currently, four from the red and blue team were locked in a melee battle. This left the blue's teams archer to roam free. It didn't take long for the archer to turn the tides in the battle.

Everyone wondered what Pendragon would do. Arthur decided he would simply walk back to his team's base and wait for the enemy there.
"Why did he do that?"
"Do you think he thinks he can take them all out on his own?"
"No way! these players are in platinum, not bronze or silver, who does he think he is Justin bell?"
With the archer on the blue team free, they came out as the victors of the battle with just a few scratches here and there. They quickly continued charging forward hoping to kill the last player or take the enemies flag.
When the blue team took out the second tower leading them to the castle, they were surprised to see the last player standing there.
The archer quickly drew their bow and used the skill spinning arrow. The arrow shot out and spun to make it move even faster. The arrows weren't intended to hurt Arthur but for him to use his parry skill.
Once Arthur would use his parry skill, the other team members would move in not giving him enough time to react.
The arrow came spinning towards Arthur's face, the other team was ready to move in any second now.
"Come on, block it." One of the blue team members whispered.
A higher ranked player would most likely just take the shot in a less fatal place. Either the shoulder or the leg, this way they could continue on fighting. But most people seeing the arrow come towards their face would use the block skill.
As the arrow came forward Arthur lifted his sword and sliced it directly in half. Causing it to splinter into two pieces and miss him. He then bent down and dashed forward stabbing the man closest to him.

The man was big and could be used as a shield to block the other attacks. Arthur dug the sword deeper into the man until he burst into blue particles. The next person closest got a single slash to the face, the next a spin and slice to the head, then the one after a stab through the chin for the fourth person.
Arthur simply moved to fast and was always in the sight of the blue team's teammates for the archer to attack. Finally, now that the archer was the only one left, they could attack.
They shot their arrow and Arthur simply just threw his sword at the archer. Slicing the arrow and piercing the archers head.
The online community went crazy!
"Did you just see that he took out five players in one go!"
"Not just that they were all platinum players."
"How did he cut that arrow in half, there's no skill that does that right?"
"Does that mean he can do that in real life, impossible!"
"Yeah if he can do that in real life, I'll eat a book."
"He must be a hacked character."
"Yeah or an Ai player or something."
Arthur's feat was so impressive that some believed it wasn't possible for a human. A lot of players suspected that Arthur may be a hacker, But Arthur's fans that had been with him from day one had defended these accusations saying he has always been this skilful.
After a few more games Arthur managed to finally rank up to platinum 1, he was only a little away from diamond which would bring his rank to the same as Bill.
Novis and Arthur went to sleep and continued to train in the dream world.
What the two of them didn't know was currently everyone was talking about the ID Pendragon. After the fight, a video was uploaded of Arthurs impressive feat. Slicing the arrow in half and the killing of 5 platinum players versus one.
There were two videos titled. "VSW player slices arrow in half is it possible?" and "5 V 1 platinum match, god-like skills!" Both of these videos went viral overnight bringing in millions of views.
The video had become so popular that many people thought the video was fake or the person in it had managed to hack the system.
Eventually, Goldware corp had to put out a statement claiming that everything done in the video was real. To stop people of accusing that their game was able to be hacked.
And eventually, this video got the attention of the pro players.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
