In the middle of a small Town, precisely in front of a monster materials shop.
"Damn. So it's this easy to sell the game? They all laughed at me." Eric said to himself, watching the pouch in his right hand.
He immediately sped up his pace to return to the blacksmith shop.
As soon as he got there, Eric picked out some of the weapons on display at the store. Or rather it is locked quite tightly by an iron chain.
"The total is 194 gold coins and 72 silver coins." Said the store clerk after double-checking Eric's entire order.
Ignoring the young man's words, Eric immediately threw the bag of about 220 gold coins at him.
"Take the change."
"Thank you very much, sir. We'll send it to the guard post soon. You can take it in about an hour."
Along with that, several young men appear to be transporting Eric's entire order to 3 horse carriages.
The number of orders is really huge. Especially the arrows that reached 8,000 more.
Inside, Eric was thinking about something.
'If this is a game, why can't I bring it directly into my inventory? Ah never mind, useless thoughts in the middle of this competition.'
After putting his thoughts aside, Eric decided to wander around for a moment while searching for as much information regarding this competition island as possible.
...***...
"Thank you for the visit! Next time come by here!" Shouted the guard.
Knowing that this world was only created for this competition, it might even disappear after another 3 days makes Eric feel sorry for them.
Just a few minutes away from the city....
'Sreekk! A sreekk!'
There was a sound of friction from behind the bushes in this forest. Eric who immediately noticed it immediately sighed.
'Huh.... It was a good thought to rob a player who had just shopped at this place. But aren't they too bad?'
Without thinking, Eric immediately took out his bow and used one of the skills he had never even used before because he did not have a bow and arrow.
"Wedge Shot." Said Eric casually while pulling his bow along with 5 arrows.
'Shuuuttt!'
The five arrows shot out very quickly to the side. But unfortunately....
Not a single system notification appeared.
"I think I still need to practice again." Eric said to himself, lowering the bow he held with his left hand.
At that moment....
'Reseekkk! Aap!'
The one who appeared to be the Assassin jumped from the bushes behind Eric. He seemed to be preparing to pull the black knife right into Eric's back.
Without even glancing at him at all, Eric immediately took out a sword from his inventory and held it with his right hand.
Immediately, Eric twisted his body quickly and slashed right at the Assassin's neck.
"Kuugghh! Wh-how?!"
The Assassin looked as if he could not believe what had just happened to him.
Not stopping there, Eric immediately turned back his body and floated 3 more slashes that hit the chest, stomach and thighs of the Assassin.
In just less than 2 seconds, the Assassin who was supposed to kill Eric secretly died in the hands of his target and turned into a white light.
All the party members from the Assassin immediately stood up and came out from hiding.
The total number of them is 16. Everything surrounded Eric in the middle of this quite dense forest.
"How dare you...."
'Jleebbb! Jimbb!'
Not even letting his opponent curse, Eric had fired two arrows with the help of the [Quick Shot] skill and also the passive [Hawk Eye] skill that hit right in the two eyeballs of his target.
Now in front of Eric, looks very encouraging notification.
[You have hit the vital point of the target!]
[You have given a total of 2,129 damage!]
[Target is Blind!]
At that moment, the sight of everyone who was about to snatch Eric was immediately turned to his friend who received the arrow shot. They had all forgotten that the target had put the bow back in his inventory and changed his weapon into two daggers in his right and left hands.
'Sraaasshh! Sraaash!'
Eric slashed the neck of the target just now so quickly that it turned into a white light.
Without a pause, Eric changed his weapon back into a spear that was almost damaged. He very quickly thrust the spear 3 times right in the heart of the player next to him.
'Stab! Stab! Stab!'
[You have.].
'Whispering.' Eric said in his heart as he immediately jumped up to reach the tree branch that was quite high.
Now, all the players who plan to ambush Eric are just engulfed in confusion.
"Oi?! You said our target was weak?!"
"Don't blame me! I never mugged...."
Suddenly, hundreds of arrows that seemed to be made of light rained down on this place from above.
Some players who were unlucky enough to receive the [Arrow Rain] skill received no small amount of damage. Even two people immediately followed the death of their previous comrade.
The leader of the group immediately turned his head as best he could while hiding behind those extremely lush bushes.
'Think about it calmly. The target is a man. So he can't be Angie. It looks like Eric, but Eric is a wizard. There's no way he's gonna use a weapon like this. Then....'
Before he could finish his thought in his heart that lasted even 45 seconds, he had been greeted by an uninvited guest.
A guest who came carried a smile that was so friendly as he extended his right hand.
"Yo, so you're the last one? The man earlier said that you were the leader while begging to spare his life. Of course, I don't forgive him at all. Now it's.... Let's talk for a moment." Said the black-haired and slightly reddish-eyed man. He is none other than Eric.
The burly man with a Barbarian-like appearance felt horror all over his body as he looked into the man's eyes.
'The eye.... No. gabe.... He's not just sneaky, this guy....'
Feeling that the man in front of him was extremely dangerous, the leader of the group immediately shook Eric's hand.
Finally, the two of them decided to talk for a moment.
"So, why are you hunting me?" Eric asked, who didn't even introduce his name.
"I thought I could get the loot to strengthen us."
"Are you getting people to hunt me down?"
"No, it's purely spontaneous."
"Say you have hunted me, and how did the spoils get?"
"We'll divide it evenly." The man replies as he continues to follow Eric in a direction.
Satisfied with all the answers, and realizing that they not only didn't recognize him but didn't go after him at all, Eric smiled quite broadly.
"Last question. If your group wins, how will you determine who gets the prize? Considering the prize money is so big."
"I will win it and share it all into their accounts equally. We have known him since the real world. Although it's scattered, and eight more people haven't joined us yet, but I'll still divide it all equally."
Hearing that answer, Eric seemed silent for a moment and then spoke again.
"Thank you. In this way I have decided to play alone until the end of this competition. I haven't introduced myself yet?"
Hearing the strange question, the leader of the group seemed to forget his fear and now became very curious about who the person who had been next to him had been.
But not through words, the man answered him with five stabbing spears that hit right at his heart.
His HP soon dropped to 0, signaling his death and forced log outs would soon take place.
He was indeed ready to die considering the ability of his opponent that far surpassed him and his group.
If anyone is regrettable, he is very curious to know who the figure who slaughtered this group of his.
At that moment, he heard vaguely the words of the man who killed him.
"Erics. My name is Eric the witch." Said the man while throwing the shattered spear.
