The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 267 - Final Round 3
...Mount Vesuvius...
The battle between European players with Angie, Brunhilda and Miyamoto continues.
Rose, who initially supported only from the back line, was now forced to go forward with Frans to support Robert directly.
The one-on-three battle was very one-sided for Robert.
'Staaab!!!'
Angie's spear thrust was very difficult to avoid because Robert still had to survive Miyamoto's katana slash.
Meanwhile, Brunhilda continuously attacked the weak point of the armor worn by Robert. The attack that could be considered painless for Robert's HP was actually very painful for the durability of the armor he wore.
If the attack is left continuous, over time Robert's armor will soon be damaged, lowering the Defense he has drastically.
"Fireball!" Shouted Rose as he pointed his right hand at the three players. Meanwhile, Frans immediately pulls Robert away from the battlefield and immediately heals him.
"Healing light." Frans said in a soft voice while pointing his right hand at Robert's body.
"Thank you very much." Robert spoke briefly after receiving the favor.
On the other hand, Angie, Brunhilda and Miyamoto immediately discussed their next plan.
"It seems that geeky man is their healer. Miyamoto, can you get rid of him?" Ask Angie briefly.
Hearing the question, Miyamoto simply nodded lightly as he said.
"It's easy if you can keep Robert and the witch away."
Brunhilda, who has not spoken since, volunteered.
"I'll fish and keep that one-armed witch away from you. Angie, you better survive Robert. Remember, he has a very high level and also a legendary Class." Said Brunhilda while pulling her Rapier.
After a light nod of the three people, the fight resumed.
...***...
'Shuuutt! Shuuuuu!'
Eric fired his arrows in various directions to attack the three people who were much weaker than the actual assassin.
Even so, Eric is currently still having difficulties.
It was all due to the intervention of the scimitar user at a time when Eric was still busy aiming.
'Sraaassh!'
The invisible sword swing that was pointing right at Eric's neck was successfully stopped quite easily.
After lowering his body, Eric immediately twisted his body and swung his legs to scuttle the Assassin.
'Bruk!'
The Assassin fell. The effect of his hidden skill disappeared, revealing his true figure.
But by the time Eric was still swinging the sword he had just taken from his inventory, three incisions had been swung towards him coming from the previous three players. It forces Eric to call off his attack and leave the place immediately.
'Damn it! If I don't kill those three idiots soon, I won't be able to defeat this Assassin. Conversely, if I don't defeat this Assassin immediately, I can never kill those three idiots in peace. This damn vicious circle is making me sick!' Eric thought as he continued to run out of the forest.
The direction of the goal is very clear, namely Mount Vesuvius which is the last stage of this game.
'If only I hadn't fired that Silent Killer, my current status would have been more than enough to surpass them.' Eric once again in his heart.
Occasionally, Eric shot his arrow back to slow down their pursuit. Although he was unable to kill them directly, Eric was able to take their blood slowly.
The chase lasted for about 5 minutes more.
Eventually, Eric and the Assassins arrive at an open air field. A terrain dominated by fairly flat rocks and little lava in some places.
A place close enough to Angie's position if the situation worsens, and protected because there are not many places to hide for the Assassins.
Eric stopped his steps and immediately turned his body.
'Six.' He said in the day while returning his bow to the inventory.
The position of his hand was currently as if he was holding a two-handed sword of considerable size. Eric's posture also looks very ready to swing a sword that does not exist.
But after Eric said the number six, a large two-handed sword appeared in Eric's hand with a very fitting position.
Without the slightest hesitation, the sword swing was peppered with one of the low-level skills of the sword technique.
'Power Strike!'
A simple skill that increases damage with payment in the form of Mana Point and Stamina Point.
That extremely sudden slash had also managed to kill the three people who were chasing him simultaneously.
Immediately after killing the three men, Eric immediately jumped back and put the sword back into his inventory.
'Four.' Eric said in his heart.
At that very instant, an arc made of Mithril appeared in his left hand.
The strongest Assassin who was chasing him immediately stopped his steps and released his hiding skill.
"I thought so." Say that Assassin.
"What?" Eric asked in astonishment.
"Quick swap, with that kind of speed, you must also be using the Numbering technique right?"
"Why indeed? Not a special thing either." Eric was upset.
Although impressed not special to Eric, what he just did is very difficult to apply in the real fight.
Eric's expertise in Quick Swap with the addition of Numbering was successfully obtained because he continued to watch Angie's videos on MeTube as well as hard training in the game.
The help of the great mentors made him able to get to this level after undergoing hard training every day.
Luvelia the Elf archer, who taught her about flexibility and quick adaptability.
Oliver the Goblin Lord, who taught him highly efficient and effective fighting tactics.
Knox the army general, who taught him not only the use of melee weapons but also hand-to-hand combat.
Then it was Lucien who taught him that there was always a much stronger opponent in the fight. The training with Lucien that left Eric dead so many times gave him powerful analytical skills and unpredictable fighting techniques.
I heard the answer from Eric....
"Haha! Not something special you say?! Haha! Please don't joke!" The Assassin shouted while laughing satisfiedly.
Although Eric? He only fell silent at the loss of what to react to such a madman.
After a while....
"Well.... Eric. You're really amazing. If it's allowed, let me introduce myself." Said the straight black-haired Assassin and that slightly brownish skin.
"I thought you knew me. All right, it's up to you." Eric replied with a slightly irritated face.
"My name is Straf. A former villain who once planned to exploit novice players at the foot of the Alpa Mountains."
Hearing the name that made Eric remember the past, he widened his eyes.
"You.... So you're the one who hunted me back then?!"
Contrary to his words, Eric actually smiled widely knowing the identity of his opponent.
"In that case, what if we re-match?!"
