We were surrounded pretty quickly, most parties tended to contain 5 or 6 people, meaning that our party of 2 was an easy target.
At least, that's what they thought, although we had only survived our two missions because of sheer luck, we'd still survived them with barely a scratch, meaning that we were one of the most dangerous groups in this royale.
We quickly took out two parties of six, Thea used her fists to just punch them and I eliminated them.
A thirteenth one sneaked up on Thea but I quickly took it out with a fire spell. The numbers were going down alarmingly fast, most of the surviving groups were either people who went solo, small groups like mine or a bigger group that focused on teamwork.
The groups that focused on teamwork tended to be comrades and the smaller groups or those few solo players tended to belong to the order.
Interestingly, there was one group of six that could've made it even if they went solo but they had such advanced teamwork that they were the biggest threat in the entire royale.
Of course, those of us who were participating didn't know that so they still frequently clashed with other groups.
Me and Thea got swarmed and I started to get consumed by the carnage, starting to move faster, be more brutal and even gaining a red aura.
This aura was of course the red void which was also seen as one of my abilities and thus I was able to use it.
I didn't know what came over me but I started moving, killing as much people as I could, that's when I met the biggest threat in the game.
They were fighting a group of over 20 people and still didn't even break a sweat although they were at a stalemate, neither group could take out the other.
That's when I came in, like a possessed demon I started attacking the big group of twenty, I took them out in about half a minute, the other group looked at me in horror and braced themselves for a fight.
Luckily for them, before they had to fight me, we had reached 100 people and couldn't move anymore. I calmed down and saw that I had probably traumatized them, I saw that Thea had followed me, although she had also kept her distance.
----The Paladins--------------------------------------------
When we entered the Test-tubes and saw that we would be fighting inside of TOOTF, we were extremely happy.
We had used this game to train ourselves so we understood most of the mechanics. Although we hadn't used the magic during training we had still played on a server in the game and had thus also tried out the magic system.
Our group was called the Paladins, we didn't belong to the Comrades because our abilities aren't what they were looking for.
If you looked at our abilities, they weren't really balanced, as in, we all had the same one.
We could summon a kind of energy that would make people either faint or die depending on how much we output.
We were actually all siblings, and in the end we had found a way to make it work, even figuring special uses for our ability.
We were constantly swarmed by groups wanting to defeat us and in the end after defeating a few groups, we were up against a group of 20 people, there were still around 140 people and it had stagnated, we wee at a stalemate with these 20, unable to defeat the other group. Luckily, the amount of people had started dropping again, little by little.
We were going to propose a truce since we weren't getting anywhere until someone came out of the trees and attacked the other group. He was surrounded in this red aura and we only felt dread when looking at.
He completely annihilated the other group in less than a minute and turned to us.
Time seemed to slow down, we got into position and were preparing to probably lose.
Congratulations, you survived.
Exiting user now.
User ... Ok.
We hope you had a good time!|
With that, I felt the snake-like tubes slither and return into the Test-tube.
I looked towards my sibling, we all understood each other, whoever that was, he was the scariest thing we'd ever seen.
"What the hell, it felt like he just wanted to destroy us, I've never seen someone look like that, he didn't even seem human! And what was up with that aura?"
We discussed the being that would later become someone we'd know well. At that time, we'd never expect what he would cause.
