Chapter 119: One left


    Although the arrow had managed to hit Ashley in the chest, she wasn''t out of the game yet. The warrior she was using wore a chest te and the arrow had only managed to pierce a few inches into her skin, permitting her to continue the fight.


    However, the impact still caused Ashley to slightly flinch, giving the Krang user enough time to regain his senses from his spin skill. He lifted his giant hammer and swung it directly at the young Kendo expert.


    She could see the hammer and managed to lift her hands in time to block the blow. Yet, the blow was too strong, and Ashley''s hands were pushed towards her chest, which further pushed the arrow further into her chest, eventually piercing her heart.


    Stumbling back, the young girl fell to the floor and looked at her petrified teammate behind her.


    "I''m sor" But before Ashley could finish her sentence, she had burst into blue particles leaving the game.


    <Red team yer has died>


    Up to this point, the cheers outside for the Montem Team were strong. "The Monster!" was continually being chanted out as Ashley had the upper hand.


    "You see that, if you want skills like her,e to my kendo club!" Daiki shouted out, holding up his sign.


    Yet suddenly the chanting came to a halt, as the spectators struggled toprehend what had happened to their champion. The arrow hitting Ashley in the chest and then the hammer further nailing into her chest had also hammered close her coffin in the space of seconds.


    "Oh no, they took out the monster."


    "There''s no way we can win now."


    "We might as well pack up our bags and go home, the streak was fun while itsted but there was no way we could get to the finals."


    "I don''t know, I thought maybe we could actually win it this year."


    Alex''s entire form was shaking from hearing the words from his ssmates. He couldn''t believe how they so quickly lost hope. Of course, their chance of winning had significantly reduced, but it wasn''t 0 percent. As long as the Montem team hadn''t given up, the match wasn''t over.


    And there was one boy in particr who hadn''t even considered giving up.


    In the forest, Novis was currently upied taking down Woowoo''s archer. The ranger warrior was good at making shots and moved to new cover every time he fired, making it hard for Novis to locate him.


    Although Novis wasn''t getting hurt, he was being held back. Whenever he would move forward an arrow woulde in his path.


    "Juste out and fight me, coward!" Novis shouted. The beserkwr was furious at what was happening. The second yer had died on their team and Novis was stuck here dealing with a useless archer.


    That''s when Novis realised this wasn''t a time for him to get angry, he needed to focus. Novis closed his eyes. Listened out to the archer''s footsteps.


    "Did he give up?" The archer saw Novis standing still, his chain des now had stopped being swung. Unsure of His opponent''s intentions, yet confident in his abilities, the archer decided to move closer. This was his time to finish Novis off.


    Back at the bottomne, now that Ashley had been taken care of, Scarlett was all on her own against the three members of Woo Woo. The crossbow user no longer needed to hide and hade out of the forest with his teammate the shield and mace user.


    Scarlett stayed by her tower as long as she could firing her arrows at the NPC knights, but she knew all she was doing was buying time. Soon there would be too many, and the four Woo Woo yers would take out the tower in nearly an instant.


    And as she predicted, the Woo Woo members started attacking the tower, and it near-instantaneously started to crumble.


    "Are we really going to lose the game like this?"


    Scarlett prepared her bow and was ready to fire an Arrow aiming at one of the warriors this time. If she was going to die or lose a tower she at least wanted to cause some damage. She lined up her arrow at the biggest target the Krang yer. Pulled back the strig and just as she was about to let go.


    Dan hade out of the forest and pulled her in.


    "what are you doing?" Scarlett said.


    "Come on, forget about the tower, they''ve already taken it." Dan said, "What we need to do is go help Novis take out that Archer then we cane backter."


    Scarlett was so focused on protecting the tower that she wasn''t looking at the bigger ying field. Lucky for them, Dan still had a clear mind.


    The two of them ran through the forest and hurried to where Novis was. A few momentster and the red team tower had been destroyed. But instead of going for the next one like they usually would they decided to give chance to Dan and Scarlett who had entered the forest.


    ***


    Inside the forest, Novis could hear the Archer creeping up closer to him but the archer was cautious and wouldn''t get close enough. Even if Novis could tell where he was there wasn''t much he could.


    That''s when he came up with a n unsure whether it would work or not. Novis suddenly started running but not in the direction of the bottomne. But Novis was heading back to the middlene. If Novis started attacking their middle tower then the Archer would hopefully follow.


    The archer seeing this would most likely tail Novis and follow him and that was Novis n. As Novis dashed towards the mid-tower swinging his chain de''s The archer started to follow as Novis excited.


    Novis continued to move towards his tower and was waiting until they would no longer be in the forest where the Archer had the advantage.


    "I''m a genius," Novis said.


    However, after running through the forest Novis started to notice something. He could no longer hear the footsteps of the archer behind him.


    "Is he hiding again?"


    What Novis didn''t realise was that the Woo Woo team were a top-notch team when it came tomunication. They could see that Dan and Scarlett had run into the forest to help Novis, that''s when they had informed the Archer to turn back, that way they could block Scarlett and Dan''s escape path.


    Just then another two notification screens had appeared.
