《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 121: Turn around
Advertisement
The Woo Woo team was confident, there wasn't a doubt in their mind that they had already won the game. They had dealt with all the other players easily, even the so-called "Monster of Montem."
"Come to think of it, isn't the last player that special underdog Josh was talking about on his stream this morning?" A Woo Woo player mused.
"Yeah, turns out it was all a load of hype, when I get my Penta Kill Josh and all the other reporters will be writing about me, Dillian the hammer, the next big thing."
"Do you know anyone who calls him that?" One of the Woo Woo players whispered.
"I think he gave that nickname to himself, it's kind of lame."
The Five Woo Woo players had decided to group up and head to the mid-tower together. Although they could have sent one or two players to push and win the game, they wanted to travel together so they could get Dillian his Penta kill.
After all, it only took one slip up for a player to kill another, and if that happened then all of Dillan's hard work would be lost.
When the Woo Woo players had arrived at mid, Novis was nowhere to be seen. They had just exited the forest and where in the middle of the path. The NPC knights on their side had been pushed up and the Red Knights were by their tower.
"He must have just been here, otherwise the knights wouldn't have pushed up this far."
As they looked around to see if there were any more signs, the crossbow player had spotted something near the other tower. He walked towards it and realized it looked like a spear stuck in the ground.
"What the hell is this doing here, I've never seen this before in the game?"

As the crossbow player looked up, he suddenly could see two chain blade's heading in his direction but it was too fast for him to react. The chain blade's hooked into the player and in an instant, he was dragged past the spear.
At the same time, the red tower shot out a cannon and it was a direct hit on the crossbow player.
< Blue team player has been defeated >
The group turned around and could see Novis was charging towards them.
It was unexpected for the Woo Woo team. Although they were together they weren't too worried if one of their players went slightly apart from them. If a fight was to break out, they were confident that they could come to help their teammate in time.
Therefore surprise was rapidly etched into the faces of every member Woo Woo's team at the sudden death. Even Novis was slightl surprised at the effectiveness of the tactic he employed, utilizing his spear as a marker for the range of the tower.
As long as an enemy stepped past that line the tower would react and fire. Novis hadn't actually expected one of the Woo Woo players to split away. All he did then was safely hide behind his own tower.
Some students from the Montem side had already gotten out of their seats and turned when they heard the announcement.
"Hey look, Novis killed one of the Enemy team players!"
"What really? It must have been a suicide attack or something."
Although not all of the students turned back to watch the game, some of them did and they were happy about their decision for what they had seen next.
Novis needed to keep this momentum and the surprise of being aggressive was working. Novis then ran past the spear swinging one of his chain blades in a circular motion. The archer fired an arrow at Novis but it just bounced off the chains.

"What you doing? Get him!" Dillian shouted.
Dillian's Warrior slowly labored towards Novis' figure, while their fastest player, the dual scimitar wielder, dashed past at their solitary opponent. In response, Novis used his other chain blade to wrap around the spear behind him. He lifted the spear with his chain and swung it at full force heading right for the shielded Woo Woo player who stood behind the duel wielder.
The force was stronger than usual, as it had the added momentum of the chain, acting similar to a whip. The shield user, seeing the spear heading straight for him, managed to lift his shield just in time. Yet the whip-like momentum crashed into his frame, knocking him back off of his feet, slmming him to the ground.
"Switch!" Novis shouted as the Duel wielder sprinted towards him.
Now in Novis' hands, the Chain blade had been replaced with his own set of duel blades. The Woo Woo player attacked with a rapid series of blows but Novis was able to dodge and block every attack. The sole remaining Montem member bided his tie until a break in his opponents combos, beginning his own retaliatory string of attacks.
"This guy, does he not get tired!" The Woo Woo player thought.
Not only that but the Woo Woo player's hands were feeling numb. Each strike was shockingly powerful. He had never experienced something like this before, where each warrior was given a base stat.
However, Novis's strength currently surpassed that of the system, as long as you were able to perform such feats in the real world, the system would allow it to happen in the virtual world too.
The base stats were just to allow those who weren't physical fit and younger players to have a chance at the game.
Of course, there were very few players who were able to surpass the stats given to the warriors.
Novis then knocked both of the scimitars away as the player's hands couldn't take the blows anymore and stabbed him in the chest with both of his blades lifting his body up in the air.
"B-b- but how?" The player stammered out before he burst into blue particles.
As Novis' attention was taken by the mans' death, Dillian's hammer rapidly swung towards him, thundering through the air. Novis managed to raise his blades in time to adsorb some of the impact, yet his body was sent crashing away.
Novis quickly landed on his feet and dashed towards his tower where he knew he was safe.
"Damn it, how did everything get messed up so fast!" Dillian said as he lifted up his fellow player from the ground.
"Come on, this one player is going to ruin our chances for us!" Dillian shouted.
Outside the arena, there was silence from both sides of the teams. Neither of them knew how to react, everything that happened seemed impossible to them.
"Only three more to go," Novis stated, as a long sword appeared in his hands.

Hacking Reality (A teenage Mad Scientist's story.)
Maya Williams was smart. For the first time however, she realized she might be a little too smart. At least if the fact that a gang had kidnapped her was any indication. But that didn’t matter, because she’d show them. She’d show them all!!! Just as soon as the voices in her head could agree on how to get out of this mess. --- Please Note: This is a version of a forum quest I run following a teenage Mad Scientest with heroic tendencies in the same city/setting as my other stories the Huntsman's Quest and Get Ink'd. Meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
