Assassin and first event
And while I was raising my level and skill level, a week passed in the blink of an eye and the day of the first event arrived.
Many players gathered at the fountain in the town square, the starting point of the event, regardless of whether they participated or not. And Hyde is no exception.
(Ugh... I came here to at least see how things were going, even if I didn't participate in the event... but that's what happened. This is the only place where you can see how the event is going, and of course there will be a lot of people here... )
In the first event, at the same time as the event starts, the event will be broadcast live on the screen at the starting point, the fountain square. For that reason, non-participating production players gather here for the purpose of searching for promising or strong players.
As a result, Hyde, who doesn't like crowds, hides in the shadows of the alleys near the square.
(I wonder if the event won't start sooner...then most of the players will be transferred, so it'll be much better...)
Hyde, who was already drunk, prayed earnestly while looking slightly pale. A few minutes later, she finally heard the voice she had been waiting for.
“Well then, the first event! Let the battle royale begin! 』
In response to those words, the surroundings were all woooooooooo! A roar echoes.
“Now then, let me explain the rules again! The time limit is three hours. The stage is a newly created event map! The number of players killed and the number of times they were killed, as well as the damage taken and dealt. Points will be calculated from these four items and rank will be given! In addition, the top 10 will receive a souvenir! good luck! 』
After the announcement finishes restating the rules, a countdown appears on the screen.
(Even if you listen to the rules again, it's impossible for me to be in the top 10. If I'm found, my status will drop, so it's even more unnecessary. The event-only map is probably wide enough, but I can't see it from Hit & Way. There is a limit without it)
While Hyde was thinking about such things, the countdown became zero and the event participants were wrapped in light and teleported. And when the event was projected on the screen, Hyde finally emerged from the shadow of the alley and moved to a position where he could see the screen clearly.
(Ooh, the battle has already started in some places. Even though it's only been a few seconds since the transfer, the development is fast.)
The battle scenery seems to be displayed randomly on the screen, and the screen changes one after another. Among them, the one that stands out the most is the screen of a man equipped with a sword and a shield based on white.
(The blond-haired one-eyed handsome man who looks like THE/hero! is the highest level [Holy Sword] in the game, Pain-san. Rumor has it that he's the strongest current player, but... yeah, he's quit being a human. How can you move like that? Isn't that strange?)
Pain uses a shield to block attacks that can't be parried with a sword alone, such as simultaneous attacks in two or more directions and ranged magic attacks. Other attacks are parried with a sword, or defeated before attacking and not attacking.
(How many people are attacking at the same time? Range magic and simultaneous attacks from all directions are completely meaningless. I haven't received any direct hits, and I haven't missed a single counterattack. What a monster...)
Aside from Pain, other famous players seemed to be taking down players and climbing up the ranks.
([Godspeed] Dread-san, who uses daggers like me. Mii-san, a [Flame Emperor] who uses fire magic with extraordinary power. Drag-san, who uses an ax to split the earth. A sword. Shin-san, the [Collapsing Sword] that splits into multiple pieces.Marx-san, the [Trapper] who can place magic on the ground.Famous players are probably
When Hyde was watching the battle of the players he knew from prior information, he suddenly noticed that part of the plaza was surrounded by a strange atmosphere.
"What is that...?"
"Ta, the shield is eating the sword and people...?"
"What kind of skills do you have..."
"Just now, that girl bounced back the big sword that was swung at her head."
"Is the body Orichalcum? Or Adamantite?"
(What are you talking about? The shield eats the sword? Did the sword that was swung down on your head bounce back? Is that a human?)
Hyde was stunned as he moved to the screen where those people were looking, with a dubious expression on his face as he heard the voices around him.
What was reflected on the screen was a girl with a large shield wearing armor with a red rose written on her chest with a black background. Even now, the large shield that the girl is holding has swallowed a new person, and the surrounding people are astonished once again.
But more than that, Hyde was surprised at the fact that the familiar girl with short black hair was in this game.
(... Huh? That's Honjo-san... isn't it? We have the same face, and our player name is Honjo-san's name.
Thinking that far, Hyde remembered the people around Kaede who really seemed to like this kind of game.
(Is Shiramine-san invited me to start the game…?
Hyde knows that Shiramine Risa has won prizes and won numerous game competitions. It was unnatural for Hyde that she had never appeared on any screen.
(Hasn't the game started yet...? If Mr. Shiramine played this game, he would definitely rank in the top.
When I stopped thinking about Risa here, I looked again at the screen showing Kaede……Maple.
(A little while ago, I was surprised by Mr. Honjou who was unexpected and ignored it, but the shield really eats swords and people…or rather, it swallows them. I guess it's a shield with a skill attached to it, but... it's too much of a foul.)
Even while Hyde was thinking, Maple swallowed players one after another and killed them with poison magic. The attacks of the few players who somehow managed to reach Maple were repelled by her body and head without showing any signs of reaction, let alone defense. After that, like the other players, it was swallowed by the big shield and turned into a red decoration.
(…………When you are under attack, there is no glow anywhere, so the skill probably isn’t activated. Even so, it's safe to assume that it's an extreme VIT.Even so, it's strange to repel all of the attacks.What kind of VIT are you doing?)
Due to the abnormal situation, players near Maple hesitate to attack. Maple pointed her dagger at them and said, "[
(At the same time Honjou-san cast that Poison Dragon's magic, the large shield's red decoration cracked. That red decoration grew each time the large shield swallowed a person. In other words, that large shield touched can be converted into MP.Mr. Honjo uses the MP stored in his large shield to use the magic of that poisonous dragon.And his defense is too high to pass any attacks...that's the final boss. No matter how you look at it, you're not a good person to be in the first event.)
『Currently, 1st place is Pain-san, 2nd place is Dread-san, and 3rd place is Maple-san! 30% of the score will be transferred when you defeat the top 3 players for 1 hour! Their positions are marked on the map! Good luck to the end! 』
When the time limit reaches one hour, an announcement will be played throughout the event map and the square. And on the screen, the top three names mentioned earlier were displayed.
Payne was smiling the same as before. Far from the face, the dread that blatantly gives off a troublesome atmosphere from the whole body. And Maple jumping up with joy.
(Aside from Pain-san and Dredd-san, Honjou-san is currently at an advantage. For her, who has a slow AGI, players coming from over there will be an opportunity to increase her points even more. It's like a duck carrying a green onion. Thing)
In fact, the players who gathered to defeat Maple by looking at the map only got points because they fell prey to Maple's large shield or poison magic.
(However, when it comes to how to use the large shield, his proficiency is overwhelmingly lower than that of Chrome, who is also a top player with a large shield. No problem at all)
A large number of players have gathered for the top two other than Maple, but in the end the time limit ended without anyone defeating the top three.
(... I learned something from not attending this event. If your VIT is high and you can't attack, there's no point in making a surprise attack. I need to raise my level and raise my STR. I also have a skill that raises my status. I'll have to look for it...even so, it looks like Mr. Honjo won't be able to attack.)
“Then let’s move on to the awards ceremony! 』
After the announcement, the top three of Pain-san and others went up to the podium. Then, from the first place, we will briefly interview them one by one.
“Next is Maple-san! One word please! 』
(Mr. Honjou, you're obviously nervous. I hope you don't bite.)
"Ehhh? Um, umm, I'm glad I was able to endure a drink.』
(Surely he's biting... ahhh, he's turned so red)
The surrounding players were also looking at Maple with smiles on their faces. Maple herself was too embarrassed to look down, so she didn't see it at all.
In such a somewhat warm atmosphere, the memorable first event of NWO ended.
Yes, Hyde noticed Maple = Kaede.
Or rather, I thought about it in the original, but if the real and the appearance are completely the same, why is no one at school noticing?
NWO is a topical game and Risa mentioned it in the original, so it seems that someone will notice it.
Next time, before going to the 2nd floor...... Hyde will be strengthened.
