Chapter 130: Day 1 (ii)
[Go now, Das!]
"Yeah!"
I was on the ceiling, don''t ask why.
I jumped down on the monster who was lurking down the cliff for a while.
Around 18 yers passed by this path and this monster killed them all.
Watching the yers and the monster fight, I know all the attacks of this monster.
The monsters here are not adaptive like world zero.
They are repeating the same attacks and fighting with the same patterns.
I jumped on top of the monster and stabbed it in the head, used my sword skill and it was cleaved in half.
"Nice"
I had 20 golden, 19 silver, and 80 bronze orbs.
I got 88 golden, 128 silver, and 321 bronze orbs by defeating the monsters.
Well, not exactly by defeating the monster. Most of the orbs are of the yers who died here.
[You are in the 28th ce]
"There is still too much to do"
Ricky and Rikka''s team is in 99th ce. (Ricky has all the orbs)
Joey and Biana are in 253rd ce. (Biana has the orbs)
Elena and Serah are in 412th ce. (Serah has the orbs)
"Why are they in 412th ce"
I was hoping for more orbs from them.
[Maybe they haven''t encountered any monsters yet?]
"Let''s hope they are alright"
There are 490 yers left.
This is good.
It''s day 1 today and only 490 yers are remaining.
Every path I take leads me to more different paths.
Lier is in 33rd ce.
Karkas is on 25th. I hate this guy!
Balgur is in 20th ce. I want to kill him!
That bulgur is with his guild of around 80 members and is still in 20th ce.
I wonder who the top yers are. They could be the remaining three top yers.
"Wha!"
Grace is on 12th!
If I get Lier''s orbs, I can get some points, and I will be under the top 20 too.
If I get Grace''s orbs, maybe I can enter the top 10.
"I don''t think she will give them to me though"
She hates my guts.
I haven''t seen her since Elena rejected her.
I hope I don''t run into her.
As I was walking, I saw a solo yer walking down the cliff.
I will hunt him and get his orbs.
I slid down the cliff, ambled to him and stabbed him from behind--
"Caught you!"
Huh?
How!
I couldn''t stab him?
I did stab him but my sword didn''t stab him.
Dammit!
"So you are the guy who is hunting down the yers and stealing their orbs" he said.
How does he know?!
"What if I am? It''s not like it''s against the rules"
"Yeah, it''s not" he said, talking out his axe.
He circled around me and said, "How about you take that mask off, so I can see your face"
"Not happening!"
I dashed at him and used my sword skill hoping that it would kill him, but he easily blocked my attack.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Clyde, the top 9th yer of the game"
"So what?!"
He chuckled and said, "I see, so you are not the type of person who is afraid of top yers"
"Why would I be afraid of top yers?"
I am only afraid of two people in the world. The first is grandpa and second is mom when she is angry.
"Uhh...because they are top?"
"That''s ame logic you have there"
"Nice. I will enjoy killing you"
"It will be me"
He dashed at me--huh? Where did he go?
[Das Up!]
<em>Bang!~~</em>
I barely dodged it.
"Thanks, Lily"
He was running at me but suddenly disappeared and appeared on top of me.
"Why are you talking with yourself?" he said, plucking his axe from the ground.
"I have nothing to say to you"
"Hehe. I like it!"
He dashed at me again and disappeared. I quickly looked up but he wasn''t there.
[Das! On the right!]
Dammit!
This time he appeared from the right side.
"What''s wrong? Aren''t you going to attack me?" he said, swinging his axe from one hand to the other.
"Hey! You are getting on my nerves now!"
"Come at me!"
He kept doing the same thing again and again.
He dashes at me and disappears and then appears from a random spot.
If Lily wasn''t here, I would have been dead by now.
"You were wearing the mask, so I thought you would be stronger but you are nothing"
"...."
"What''s wrong? Noeback? Did you admit your defeat?"
<em>Sigh~~</em><em></em>
<em></em>"Okay, ytime is over"
"What do you mean?"
"Come at me with all you have got. I will not move an inch from here"
"You damn mask man! Are you making me?"
"Oh? Did that offend you? I am soly"
"You are dead!"
He dashed at me and disappeared, as expected.
It doesn''t matter where he appears from. I just need to spot him and--there he is!
He appeared from behind. I just swayed back some steps and when he attacked me, his axe got stuck in the ground.
"How did you--!"
"It wasn''t much. I was just inspecting you. You don''t deserve to be in the top 10"
I will make my girlfriend a top yer.
"Argh!" He groaned, trying to take out his stuck axe.
"What''s wong? Could it be that you really came at me with all you had?"
"Shut up! Don''t mock me!"
You shut up!
I kicked him in the face, and he rolled over a couple of times before hitting the wall.
"You are nothing without this axe, huh?"
I plucked out his axe.
"No, please no! Not the axe!"
"Okay. I won''t do anything to your axe. Give me all the orbs you have and abort from the event"
"Okay. Here, take all of my orbs"
He gave me 30 golden, 62 silver and 188 bronze orbs.
Even though he was in the top 9th yer of the game, he didn''t have many orbs.
I am currently in 21st ce.
"I gave you all I had. Now give me my axe back"
What should I do?
Should I give him?
I got the orbs. Is there any need to kill him now?
Well. Lily got angry before. I will give him the axe and let him go--
[Watch out, Das!]
"Huh?"
I was punched heavily in the face when I looked back.
"Yerte, Ethel!"
"Sorry, I was watching your fight"
Dammit!
There were two people.
What was that punch?!
Huh?
He has a gauntlet in his right hand. Is this his weapon?
[Are you okay, Das?!]
<em>Sigh~~</em>
