The number of 17 quickly came down to 16 in a few more seconds, with a body laying lifelessly mutated and poisoned with a disfigured face, dying from a poisonous flower.
The person, a woman holding the poisonous flower had a very special glove that came with the flower. A protective glove that shielded her from the poison...
As I watched from afar, I couldn't help but think, that thing looks way more scary than dying to a gun...
The woman had long black hair, and her face was strangely covered with it, only revealing the dark pair of her eyes.
She got closer to the dead person, the lifeless body laying on the ground, with the intention of looting whatever was left behind.
Then it exploded with a loud noise that echoed across the strange white space.
A strange noise of explosion came into everyone's ears, and echoed in their heads. Some were stunned and some almost died of shock.
I instinctively covered my ears but it was too late! F*ck! My ears are going to burst!
Because I was clutching my chest with one hand, it started bleeding more and starts hurting more.
There was a sound bomb!
That person didn't have any weapons on him, and no items. It seems like the system purposely put it inside his body!
Obviously, the closest one to the body, which was the ghost-like looking woman with scary messed up hair covering her face, died immediately.
Even the item, poisonous flower and the glove combo wasn't left behind as it disappeared into thin air like it never existed.
It wasn't a simple sound bomb. It echoed and explored all across her body from inside before exploding.
It was literally brutal. Your nerves getting exploded, but feeling it before it actually does, and when it did, you feel an instantaneous pain of explosion from inside...
A disfigured mess of flesh and organs were on the ground, literally having exploded from inside out. The pool of blood was also flowing there...
I quickly retracted my gaze from the corpses, I was going to puke soon if I kept looking.
Luckily, there was still time to live. As there was only a "lifeless" homeless man on the ground nearby that was completely idle.
Everyone else was fighting against each others to be bothered by 2 "lifeless" man without any good loots...
...
As the numbers came down to 15, the people that were left became more cautious and careful.
The earlier bomb also stunned a lot of them, as well as saving them temporarily to escape from impending death...
"Ugh, f*ck. You would've died there if that shitty bomb didn't came off at the critical moment. Seriously, this is f*cking stupid..." One person grumbled as they held a strange looking sword.
The sword was dark black in colour with it's tips stained of blood. Seemingly unable to wash off the blood even if it was to be showered.
Suddenly, a mouth appeared on the sword's mouth, as a ominous voice came out from it.
"What are you taking so long for? You want to be my next prey? I'm thirsting... so bad." It sounded both weird and creepy.
The sword's owner's brows titled in annoyance. Clearly wanting to throw away the sword.
He would've done it long go if his target didn't run away so much. He needed a weapon to defend himself after all.
Especially the silver dagger in his target's hands. Which has properties of being swift and sharp, and unbreakable. Throwable and returns to It's owner automatically...
Huff... Huff... "Why don't you go chasing someone else?..." The girl grumbled as she held her dagger up.
She was unskilled at combat, clearly. She was only a high school student attending classes. She was doing her homework last night and she woke up here this morning.
So what else could a student do but run, when she's against a person who knew how to fight, no—kill?
Unfortunately, there was no hero to save her in an isolated space from the real world. This was a game and a game of death.
The other people were busy running, hiding, fighting or pretending to be dead. Some were already on the verge on death.
"Oh? Come on, it's more fun to hunt weak and pathetic preys like you. That's why I'm dedicated to chasing you, like a wolf chasing after a rabbit."
He smiled cruelly as his smile reached all the way to his ears.
... that's so cringe worthy of a line to say. The girl couldn't help but inwardly mutter.
She had tried to fight back and kill the guy chasing after her multiple times. But in the end, she could only run away constantly.
The only thing that was stopping her from doing so was that he was good at dodging... Eh, let's just say she couldn't fight because she's never fought?
If the ghost-looking lady was given the dagger then she would've definitely beaten this guy already. She's now a real ghost though. Probably.
...
Going back to the start of the second match,
In the most gathered place, where most "players" or people gathered together to discuss the game's informations...
Before a message came to ruin everything.
!!!
Countless chains bursted out from a person with tattoos all over his body. He was probably from some kind of gang.
It killed over 20 people in an instant. Everyone was off-guard. Not having any time to prepare their own weapons.
In this game of death, reaction time was quite important. Everything was random and you needed to react quicker to survive!
A boy wearing a blue jacket, with a gaming console in his hands, quickly reacted to the chains.
Regardless, he ended in the group of people injured by the chains.
It was an unfair weapon. An unfair weapon that allowed the user to summon countless chains anywhere within the range of 50 metre.
Not long after he escaped, he was targeted by countless chains from all directions. This time, it was a personal attack!
Sh*t!
The boy inwardly cursed before he quickly thought through his options, he could try to dodge and die or he could use his gaming console that had unknown effects!
He quickly held it up his head and looked into the screen. Everything slowed down like a turn-based game waiting for you to make your move.
In the screen, there was a few options.
[Slash], [Dodge], [Parry], [Shield], [Self Destruct]
He quickly pressed all three buttons of dodge, parry and shield at the same time! There was no rules that said it wasn't allowed!
The countless chains coming at him from all directions were quickly either parried, shielded or dodged by him.
In his perspective, or in the game screen of the console, time was immensely slowed down.
However, in other's eyes, he was like a superhuman reacting to impossible attacks!
Around 9 or so people around had died from the attacks nearby, but he was the only survivor!
There was a lot of items on the ground too. But the tattooed guy wasn't interested in it... He only wanted that game console.
It seems he had some ideas what it was all about.
The attacks continued consecutively. One was pressing buttons relentlessly on the screen. The other was commanding the chains using his will.
The sounds of parries, game-like magic shields appearing and breaking, the wind that seemed to blow slightly when he dodged at high speed, all of them seemed unreal!
However, he couldn't help but play defensively. Even if he could kill the other opponent by risking it all, what's the point when you also die?
Getting penetrated and restrained relentlessly and having countless holes tore apart in your body wasn't a nice sight to see and it was extremely painful.
Fortunately, the chained person got impatient soon as he decided to take a step up. He was going to "bait" his enemy.
As he got closer and closer, the chains quickened and started accelerating in speed.
The gaming console guy had to work his brain faster and faster as his life depended on how fast he could click!
At this point, he wasn't thinking about which to parry, dodge or shield anymore. He was only "spamming" everything he sees!
Finally, the chained guy stepped into range. No—he was always in range. It was also a trap laid by the gaming console guy.
His body was swiftly sliced into pieces as he walked into a place where "slices" were invisible. The reason was that he clicked too fast for the attacks to be seen by anyone.
...the countless chains stopped but nothing dropped. It was a body-bound item.
He had already killed over 30 people in the span of 2 minutes.
Now, he had died by getting sliced into pieces. Small pieces of fabrics of flesh. As only the blood laid visible on the floor.
By this time, there was already countless bodies, tore apart, brutally holed through, penetrated, and ripped apart. As well as countless items.
Not only by the chained guy's rampage. But also by a death-scythe holding girl. Having killing over 80 people.
Roughly over 110 people have died without a trace. Or some leaving brutal but cruel to see gory images behind.
