The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 217 - First Round
While Arlond and Chris were still fighting against each other in that world of Re:Life, Elin and I were also fighting with all their might in this real world.
Especially if not to win the International Competition in the PVP Branch and Team Boss Raid. All that for the sake of obtaining 2 of the 4 Ancient Books that will be awarded at the International Competition this time.
As for Free For All PVP, of course the main goal is to earn as much money as possible.
"Erik, we're going to split up here because of the difference in PVP competition blocks. Don't lose, you understand?" Said Elin with a serious look that now I have rarely seen enough.
"Haha.... Take it easy Elin. I will fight hard to win. Don't lose yourself, do you?" I reply while embracing her little body.
Seeing my behavior, Elin seemed a little upset.
"Stop! What the hell are you doing? Don't make out in a place filled with these people and cameras!"
Even so, I ignored her words and instead hugged her.
On the other side....
It looks like a group of people in the same uniform. That is a clean white suit with a red pattern. On their chests, the Indonesian flag is clearly displayed.
That's the official team from Indonesia.
Please note, that even though Elin and I are from Indonesia and also represent Indonesia indirectly, we are both not from the official team.
The official team is the athletes of choice who every day do leveling, training, mission completion and so on.
They don't play Re:Life for fun. Except to get the victory and the name of Indonesia.
Their base in the Virtual world?
Of course in the Farna Kingdom. The reason was very simple that as the Kingdom led by fellow Players who came from Southeast Asia, they were confident of gaining an additional advantage.
Although....
Arlond was not even aware of their existence in the Farna Kingdom. It is natural because they always hunt and train in forest, valley, or mountain areas.
The number of Official Teams originating from Indonesia reached 43 people who will all participate in various branches of the Competition. Including PVP, Guild Versus Guild, Marathon, Pet Beauty, and so on.
At the time of seeing them pass by, I honestly felt a slightly different aura.
Especially in one of the players with a large enough body and short hair.
'Eh? He stopped' I thought to myself inwardly after one of the people I had observed from now stopped his steps.
Elin who saw the change in expression on my face immediately asked.
"Erik? What's up?"
"No. but that guy.... Where have I seen him? Hm...." I tried to think hard to remember who the real man was.
After a while, the man seemed to be approaching towards the two of us.
I also put on a face of astonishment while asking a common question.
"Sorry, what's the need with us?" I asked the man who was clearly standing in front of us.
But unexpectedly, the man just extended his right hand as if asking for a handshake.
That's when he started talking.
"Erik. Forgive me for what I said last year. Maybe you don't remember me but I remember you very much. I'm Ilham, a Tanker who used to make bad words about you." Said the man with a large enough body with a fairly rigid Indonesian language.
Hearing that, I paused for a moment as if to remember something.
'Ilham? Insulting myself? When yes? Hm.hm....'
While I was still busy with my own thoughts, Elin took the initiative first by shaking Ilham's hand.
"Don't think of such a small thing. This stupid guy named Erik most likely won't remember what you said last year. He might not even remember you. Representing that stupid man, I accept your apology. We look forward to a good partnership with you, Inspiration." Reply Elin with such a friendly smile.
"Tu-wait first! There's a lot of trouble with what you said, Elin! First I'm twidwa...."
Elin closed my mouth with her small hand as if she did not want me to speak.
As if following the flow that was happening, Ilham smiled widely and replied to the words of Elin.
"Well.... So anyway. Well, thank you so much Elin. Your words make sense seeing that 'Male' behavior." Say Ilham in a mocking tone.
"Uwapwa kwau bwilang! Uwakwu uwakwan mwenghwajwarmwu!" I screamed as if trying to talk behind Elin's silence.
A light debate ensued between myself and Inspiration.
But in the end, Ilham took out a forbidden move that should have been sealed in the dungeon.
"Haha! I was just joking Erik. Don't be so serious!" Say Ilham while laughing loudly and hitting my back several times.
"Where are you kidding?!"
At a time when we were both busy, the call from the organizers of the event through the giant speakers that were found almost throughout the stadium was clear.
..."All Player Versus Player participants, are expected to immediately go to their respective blocks. The game starts in 15 minutes. We repeat...."...
The notice was repeated 3 times. All participants of this competition also moved their footsteps to the designated location.
Including myself and Elin who currently have to separate because of different blocks.
The entire audience cheered loudly. In the middle of this stadium, there are 6 pieces of giant hologram screen that displays the contents of the match directly from several players.
While in front of the audience seats, a machine that displays a hologram screen has been prepared.
The audience is free to choose who they will watch.
Different from the actual Re:Life Game and Free For All PVP, all other competition branches will be held with a game acceleration of 1 to 1.
In other words, 1 second in the virtual world would be equal to 1 second in the real world.
Now....
I stood right in front of the capsule that had been prepared for me. I immediately entered it according to the instructions of some officers.
Without waiting for a long time, I immediately Log In and enter the data about my account.
At that moment, my view changed.
The sight that had previously only seen the roof of the capsule filled with that dim blue light, had now turned into a green meadow scene in all directions.
"I'm curious.... What's my opponent like this time?" I said to myself while preparing all my equipment, including my Oracle Staff.
'With this stick and also my current ability.... I'm sure that I can survive at least until the final preliminary round.' I thought in my heart while looking at my wand.
'Then my new skill....'
While I was still preoccupied with my own thoughts, I saw a large enough black cube hovering in the middle of this battleground.
On each side of the cube, there are numbers as many as 2 bright red digits.
A number....
Which will signal the start of this PVP first round.
By the time I tried to see who my current opponent was, I myself was quite surprised.
Without me noticing, a thin smile was painted on my face.
In the distance, there was a boy who was probably 18 years old. His body is quite short and small.
With his red hair, he appears to be carrying a large two-handed sword.
Or you could say, he was a player with the type of 'Swordsmen' or swordsman. If you look at the weapon alone, the huge advantage is already on me.
Why could that be?
"With such a big sword, are you sure you can avoid my magic?" I said as if trying to provoke him.
But unexpectedly, he only gave a sharp look and a wide enough smile.
"From your robe and stick, your identity has been revealed by Eric. It only takes one slash.... And your life will be floating!"
'Teeeeeeet!!!'
Such a loud voice was heard from all directions. As for the big cube, it has now shown the inscription [GO] in bright green.
Along with that....
Our fight begins.
