Chapter 7 - Apocalypse-VII- The Mysterious Archer

Aditya's POV,

I say, "Keshav, I'll take it from here. I want to beat this guy from the ground to show him the difference between the two of us. You go from here. He'll most likely try to get you."

Saying so, I put one quiver on my waist and one on each shoulder. I then get down from my chariot. I hear the voice of the other archer- "Are you surrendering already?"

I snort and say, "I can kill you by just throwing this arrow" I take out an arrow. I use the skill Trick-shot which allows an store shoot it thrown to make a turn around of up to 150 degrees and hit where you want it to hit. I throw it to the right of the guy and put forward my foot. He snorts, " You missed the mark by ten feet"

"Hehe... Wait for it..." I answer. A flaming arrow hits the back of his chariot and blows it apart and the guy is flung towards me as he falls right at my feet. I take an arrow it and attach it to my bow's string and point it at him. I say, "I could kill you right now and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Feel weak yet. Get up. I give you another chance. Fight like a warrior." He gets up and equips his bow and quiver. He takes it an arrow and shoots it beside me. I just sidestep it and move in a circle around him. He follows suit. He shoots another arrow which missed it's mark again and I shoot my arrow at him and get my mark-his hoping arm's shoulder. He sneers at me in sheer pain and anger as he removes it from his shoulder.

"My GRANDMA can fire better than you!" I tell him. His contorted face is worth it. He says in a voice that is deeper than it was before, "Shut up!!!"

I laugh as I fire three arrows at his stomach when he is distracted by my insult.

I say, "A good archer must never let his guard down"

I see him remove the arrows from his stomach and grunt while he does it. He says, "Let's take this up a notch" He fires an arrow that is burning bright. I take out two arrows and shoot them simultaneously. One meets the arrow of my rip-off and the other goes an inch above it to hit his upper thoracic whole his arrow is destroyed by mine. I tell him, "You might be good, but I am the best."

He does not remove the arrow this time. He shoots two arrows at me but they never reach me as a brilliant blue streak comes in front of me and stops then before I fire. It's Charles. I smile pleased that now I can't continue harvesting others. He asks, "How'd your health go so low and level so high within an hour of the battle starting?"

I come in front, beside him and answer proudly, "One with fire!"

He says, "Ho!!! So that's how... I guess I'll use it as well once I am done with him if it's so helpful to hunting levels!"

He finishes while pointing at my rip-off.

I say, "I'll meet you later then."

Charles's POV,

Adi leaves to hunt others. I look at the mysterious Archer in front of me. He has an store lodged in his chest. I ask, "Where are your goons?"

He says, "You sure you can take all of us on?"

"Heheeee..... Hahahahahhaaaahaaa.... You think you can beat me? With that arrow lodged in your chest? Hahahaahahhaaa.... You do know, I killed one of you with all of you 'cornering' me?Hahahhaha. Ohhhh.... wait a minute, didn't I say that you'd have the last laugh? Why am I laughing? Go on laugh and your dumbass decision of underestimating us." His look when I say this, is epic, I tell you. If I had my camera, I would take a pic and post it on social media.

I bring up my swords; combine them and send Mana through it. Now that my affinity to lightning had reached first advancement, I need only half of the Mana that I used to require for the same amount of lightning. The sword illuminates the whole area more than the sun does and the place is lit bright blue. I run towards him. He fires arrows but now they that much slower. I just sidestep them as I reach him. I make sure no one is around before I reach him and I slash my sword at him. Adi's arrow lodged in his chest is destroyed and along with it, his armor and inner clothes are bisected in two as he falls backwards. I walk up to him and as I am about to stab him, I see an elevation around the chest. I see two breasts popping out. I see that the archer is in fact a girl. My sword is an inch away from her heart. She looks up at me in embarrassment. Her face is red and flustered. She grabs my blade and then pushes the sword into her chest so that she'd die before I saw her user ID. A window then popped up next to me, "You have killed the commander of the Kaurava camp. Morale of the Kaurava any has fallen. They shall all suffer 20% stats decrease for a period until which a new commander is appointed or the war ends, whichever comes first.

You have gained 9,546,263,200 exp. Your level has risen to 350."

She must have killed almost 500000 people to gain that much exp. How did she achieve it? Only an Atimaharathi is capable of doing that in just a day and an Atimaharathi would be too fast to be beaten by me or Adi. What did she do?

I forget those thoughts and move on to get a feast of exp. I scream, "ONE WITH LIGHTNING!" My body turns from flesh into lightning followed by my armor. For the next sixteen minutes I destroy the Kaurava army getting almost 400000 people. Now I get to know why this skill takes 80% of health. It's a MKS(Mass Kill Skill). An MKS in the game is a skill that can take the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. I think that even the girl who gave me my first exp bonus had used an MKS yesterday during the riots. That is the only explanation I can get. The Kaurava army must have lost at least a million people by now. There are about 20000 players in our camp with elemental affinities greater than 500. If all of them used this skill once a day, we'd be able to destroy the Kaurava army before the fifth day.

My level is now at 353. One more kill will take me to 354. I then go to where Adi is standing, leaning on his chariot. I ask him, "Why aren't you killing?"

He answers, "I recieved the message that the Kauravas would surrender." Come on!! I need just one!!

"Can I go kill one of them?" I ask with pleading eyes.

"Nay, Charles. We need to end this soon. Besides you can gain exp soon enough. Something very bad is coming. We have little time to prepare." He says with a grim expression. After the Kauravas surrender, we'll go to Hastinapura and call all the other Guild Masters and influential players. We need an alliance if we are to face what's to come and if we are to go back to our home."

I lean against the chariot as well and say, "True. The Gods won't support us in these endeavors. We need to support ourselves. We are but puppets in their hands. And now, after the many riots that have taken place, they probably wouldn't mind if we were to be killed"

I stood with my back to Adi's chariot as a window opened up next to me, "The Kaurava army has surrendered. The third annual Mahabharata event has ended with your victory. Your level has risen to 354 as a reward for winning." Makes sense. The power levels were equal when starting. The Kaurava army was chaotic; I doubt that their riots stopped until one side one and they had lost their commander. The Pandavas on the other hand had lost very few people through riots and they were organized. At this point, it isn't that surprising.

Another window popped up next to me, "A new era has begun. Choose to side with Gods or Demons. A mistake can lead to the destruction of your soul!"
