Chapter 9 - Ruthless

"He caught it?" Blood-Arrow muttered in mild surprise.

Supreme caught the bloodred arrow an inch from his face, he slowly turned his head to the direction of the projectile and activated his cheat.

{Player's location revealed}

'Blood-Arrow? I see there's someone else trying to end my life, for God's sake! Is my life so precious! wait... I thought she appeared 100 miles from here?' His eyes widened.

'I didn't follow this path in my previous life!!' Supreme yelled inwardly. He fixed his gaze on Blood-Arrow who stood calmly on a tree distance away.

"You are really full of surprises." Blood-Arrow muttered under her breath. she jumped down from the tree, landing steadily on the ground.

"But if you get in my way, I will just have to kill you." She added, and walked away.

Supreme stared at the direction for a while before looking down at the arrow which suddenly turned into dust.

'Her red arrows are these deadly? filled with.. poison?' Supreme tilted his head in surprise staring at his red palm.

{Cheat: poison immunity activated}

He stared at his palm which started turning back to his normal skin color and sighed in relief.

'That was scary.'

"Aren't you done?" Poisonous Queen asked, as she walked towards him. She didn't see what happened just now, so it saved Supreme from explaining.

"It would be quicker if you help" Supreme said calmly, as he continued with his task.

Poisonous Queen just rolled her eyes and sat on the ground watching him do all the hard work.

< Save Zone will start decreasing in 5 minutes! >

AI's voice sounded in every single player's mind, telling them the start of their second nightmare.

"What the? We need to get to the center of the island!" Poisonous Queen quickly stood up after hearing AI.

"I know." Supreme answered and tied all the meat in a handmade grass bag, made by one truly, him.

"Who taught you this?" Poisonous Queen asked checking out the green grass bag.

"My dad" Supreme gave a simple answer, hanged the bag on his shoulder.

"Let go" he said and started walking toward the other direction from the path Blood-Arrow took.

"Do you really know where we are going?" Poisonous Queen asked following behind him.

"Nope."

"What! You don't know where we are going?!! What if you lead us into the maw of a LV 7 monster, or even outside the save Zone?!!" She yelled.

"First: stop yelling, you could attract more monsters and other players to us. Second: Do you want to lead the way? Or do you think I am a navigator to always know the way?" Supreme asked staring at her over his shoulder.

"When did I say that? lead the way" poisonous Queen said with a fake smile.

"Then shut up and follow me." He added and continued walking.

'Did he just... me, shut up?! Idiot. moron, fool, stupid, cow...'

Supreme didn't know all these and continue walking, he was simply leading them to the center of the island which were guarded by Ten LV 10 monsters, that was the only spot where all the LV 10 monsters are. The game placed them there because it knew every single player will try to rush to the center after hearing AI's notification.

They are just leading themselves to their deaths, now... talk of this guy who already knew what is waiting ahead, but kept heading towards it.

A stupid or brave guy I would say!

_

"Why haven't I heard of his name before? I think this is his first game." Blood-Arrow muttered calmly, walking down a greenish path.

"Hey beauty! Who are you talking too?" A middle-aged man with black hair and beard who looked like an Indonesian man yelled out to her.

He was armed with a grenade launcher he found by chance and was also a LV 3 player in the bronze medal star 1 rank.

Behind him were four other players, all LV 1 and purely newbies. Each of them was armed with a dagger.

Blood-Arrow tilted her head to their direction a little surprise, who will dare call out to her in a game?

Seeing the group, she finally turned all her figure around to face the five players.

"You aren't qualified to asked me questions"

"Not qualify? Hey girl, you are just a level five player, and I am a LV 3 player with four LV 1 players. I know we can take you down easily, But..." He moved his gaze around Blood-Arrow's seductive body.

"...But we don't want to kill a beauty like you, so we give you two options." The Indonesian man said loudly, he was clearly the leader of these newbies.

Blood-Arrow didn't say anything, she just stood still, and waited for his options.

The man smiled seeing this and said arrogantly. "You know we are in a game; but we can still enjoy ourselves, so if you give yourself to us and let us do as we please we'll let you go. That's the first option, I think you know the second, that is... if you refuse the first"

Blood-Arrow's eyes turned cold instantly, and the next moment her bow disappeared from her back and appeared in her hands, without an ounce of hesitation she released a shot.

The red blood arrow broke through the sound barrier and burst the head of a LV 1 player instantly, without the guy even knowing how he died.

"What in the gods' name?!!" The Indonesian man and his rest teammates were stunned. They quickly got in a defensive formation.

'That is an epic weapon skin, where did a LV 5 player got an Epic-class weapon from?!!' The Indonesian man yelled inwardly.

"Weak" Blood-Arrow shook her head and released another shot, even though they were prepared one LV 1 player still dropped dead with his head exploded.

"Don't think you are the only one that can attack from a distance!" The Indonesian man yelled, he fired the grenade launcher in his hand towards her.

BOOOOM!!!!!!

A deafening explosion rung out as the grenade collided with Blood-Arrow.

"You got her boss, nice shot!" A LV 1 player with brown hair and blue eyes said out loud.

The boss didn't keep his hopes high, because a common-class grenade launcher can't cause any harm to a player using an epic-class weapon. Unless that player was careless and this girl in front of him isn't.

His deduction was proven correct as the dust slowly disperse revealing a normal looking silver hair girl in the center armed with a long purple katana.

'What the? I heard some unique Epic-weapons above could change form to different weapons. I didn't believe it because I thought it was just rumors, but what am I seeing!?'

'I need to get out of here.' The Indonesian man thought looking around anxiously, he was more experience than the two behind him, so he knew when to run and when to fight.

The problem is... if Blood-Arrow will let him escape.

"As I said, you aren't qualified to ask me anything, or even give me an option." As soon as she said these words. She shot forward with a sonic boom, cracking the ground behind her.

"Fuck!!" The Indonesian man yelled and quickly raised his grenade launcher to defend against her attack.

BAM!!

He flew 10 meters back before stabilizing himself. With a frown he looked at the weapon in his hand, which had been cut into two equal halves.

'These Common-class weapon couldn't even take one hit.' He growled in frustration as he threw the weapon away, moment next he turned around and shot forward, running for his dear life.

'I need to get out of here! I can't win her. Only if my teammates are good, but they are all newbies who don't even know how to swing a sword!!'

"Boss! What are you doing?!!" One of the LV 1 player yelled out to their running boss.

"Everyone for himself!!" The man yelled as he entered the forest.

"Boss!! You promised us you will help us win this game!" The guy yelled and slowly turned his head to the silver hair beauty walking toward them.

Player one: "What should we do now?"

Player two: "fight her!"

"Are you mad?! Even the boss ran away because of her, we can't fight her. We also need to RUN." The first player yelled at his teammate.

"Run...? You can run, I won't stop you" Blood-Arrow said with a smile.

"Really?" The first player sighed in relief and without waiting for his teammate, he ran towards the direction their boss took.

"What about you?" Blood-Arrow tilted her head to the second player.

"I am not a coward who run from an opponent!" The young man yelled gripping his dagger tightly.

Whoosh...

He only saw a flash of purple light.

"I like your courage, but first think of how to stop my poison." She said with a smirk.

The guy raised his hand and touch his bleeding cheek and looked at Blood-Arrow in horror.

"How did you?!"

"Ok. I am going to hunt those fools, see you in the afterlife, but I will have to say you need to hang in there. Because I'm not ready to die." She said and walked pass him, her purple katana turning back to her purple bow.

"I haven't hunted in a while now." She added calmly.

"How dare you!" The guy roared and lunged at her from behind with his dagger.

Blood-Arrow swiftly turned around and released a shot blowing off his head.

"Pathetic!" She hissed as she calmly walked inside the forest.
