“Damn it!”
Hiro kept running even though his legs felt terribly sore, and he had sudden cramps multiple times until he had to run by jumping.
No one was chasing him behind other than the time.
Although he managed to save a few survivors and immediately sent them away to the south, Hiro alone was not enough to save the tens of thousands of survivors scattered in the giant maze.
With the HUD system continuing to display the notifications of survivors that had been eliminated without pause, Hiro was sure of one thing.
The elimination operation by killing survivors in the maze had been started by hunters.
They went crazy.
Given the real weapons from the start, Hunters could easily kill every survivor they met around the corner.
The massacre was underway, and the number of survivors was decreasing drastically.
On the other hand, the game points of the hunters were increasing rapidly. This was what Hiro was worried about.
The chance of winning the game had become lower by now.
[Survivor: 5 survivors have been eliminated]
“What? 5 survivors at once?”
“Shit!”
Hiro didn’t know how the information among the hunters could be spread very fast just like that. It seemed that there was a special chat room in the game for hunters so that they could start the slaughtering plan.
“Arrrgh!”
[Survivor: 1 survivor has been eliminated]
It was too late… every scream he heard was followed by the elimination notification.
Hiro was already covered by sweat all over his body.
“Save me!”
Hiro halted his footsteps when he found a man tied to a rocket mast all alone, with a body covered in sweat and blood.
The hunter was nowhere to be found.
“Please.”
Hiro, of course, saved the man and earned additional points from his actions. However, after successfully releasing him, suddenly five hunters appeared, laughing with satisfaction.
“Hahahaha.”
“I knew we could use him as bait.”
“Now we got a small fish ready to grill.”
Three of them were Caucasian men with huge bodies equipped with weapons such as a spear, a scythe, and also a claymore sword.
Two of them were mages with weapons in the form of low-tier normal magical staff.
“I am so sorry,” the man Hiro just saved apologized.
Hiro didn’t blame the man in the slightest, after all, he had prepared for unexpected things like this.
“Can you fight with me?” Hiro asked in a whisper.
“I can’t. I am in pain. I don’t even have any weapons.” The man was feeling guilty. He felt useless.
“Alright, just stay alive. Don’t get killed. Stay behind me.”
Hiro had no choice.
He sheathed out his greatsword and got into a position to fight against the five hunters in front of him.
Seeing Hiro positioned himself to fight them, they laughed louder and louder in mocking tones.
“Hahahaha. Look! The tiny fish’s trying to fight us!”
While they were laughing over him, Hiro quickly scanned their equipment using his HUD system.
Hiro smirked after checking their gears one by one.
Not only were their levels far behind him, which were between 20 to 22, but their gears were also very mediocre. They didn’t even wear any armor. Only their physical appearance looked intimidating and fearsome.
In the real world, it might be a power.
But here, in the virtual reality, it didn’t matter how bulk your body was, if you didn’t care about the progressive stats, you could be weaker than the heroic NPCs.
“Fight me with all you have!” Hiro challenged them at once.
Hearing how Hiro’s voice sounded like a mocking one, they growled like giant monsters, then dashed forward together to attack Hiro.
CLANK!
SWISH!
Hiro managed to stop all the three and returned their weapons back like nothing.
With only a hand, Hiro could toss the three men away until they were thrown back and hit the wall.
Not only the hunters but also the man he saved was shocked and disbelieving of what their eyes just saw.
“My turn.”
Hiro shot forward while holding his sword high in the air before swinging it with full force at the three hunters, who were still wincing in pain as their backs hit the hard vines.
The first time the enemy’s weapons hit the blood-eater vampire, the unique skill of the sword was directly used by Hiro to absorb their HP altogether. Left them dying.
This time, he returned their HP in the form of increased damage before the effect was gone.
SPLAT!
SPLAT!
SPLAT!
[Fatal Damage!]
[3 hunters could no longer hunt]
[3 hunters have been eliminated from the game]
Tarrrr!
Their blood was covering the blade of a blood-eater vampire greatsword. Their bodies turned into crystal pixels, then disappeared.
After a second, his legendary greatsword absorbed the blood like a living thing until no single drop was left behind.
“So, what am I going to do with you two?”
Hiro turned to look at the two mage girls, who looked terrified after seeing that their three mighty-looking comrades could be defeated with a single attack.
“N-Nightfall. The first PK executor!” one of them recognized Hiro. Her voice was shaking. Her face turned pale.
“Ar–are you going to kill us?”
Hiro sighed. If he killed them, he would not get any extra points. Still, he believed they would spread bad fake news about him to the town after the game finished. And Hiro didn’t want it.
After all, they were just ladies. It was still tough for Hiro when it came to fighting female players, especially those whose strength was very low, like the two mages in front of him right now.
“If you stop hunting till the game finishes, I will let you live.”
After hearing that, the two female hunters nodded and immediately ran away without turning back.
“Man, you are very strong!”
“How could you do that?”
The confidence of the man Hiro saved had returned after seeing that he had a very strong and reliable survivor partner for now. He could even stand normally, no longer with trembling legs.
