Virtual Sword God! 155 Losing Everyone

When they finally exited the tunnel, their eyes were immediately attracted to the fight that was being displayed on the screen. On the bottom left of the screen information of the match and additional details were given that users weren't allowed to see in the game.

"They've taken down four towers already!" Novis said.

"Ah, look Novis, it looks like Ashley has been taken out of the game," Bill said. On the Blue team, it showed a small little avatar of each warrior and the Avatar that Ashely selected had a big red X going across it.

"It must be June's tactics. It looks like he decided to play this game safe, which is just like him." Lucas said.

Right now, everyone in the arena eyes was either watching the big jumbo screens above, for a closer look, or down below on the virtual holographic field. And that was because right now the match had gotten to t's most interesting point.

If it wasn't for this, perhaps the others might have noticed, Novis and Lucas, the two star players of their teams, were stood just by the entrance.

****

"d.a.m.n it!" Alex cursed loudly.

Not only had they lost one of their better fighters, but they had just been notified that there two towers had been taken. Which meant there was no longer anything between the NPC knights and their base.

June knew what he was doing from the very beginning, when he found out the other team had decided to group up as a five, he continued to push the two lanes. There was no need for them personally to destroy the towers but only to kill enough of the NPC knights on the enemy team.

Not only where they now a player down but they were under what was called a Base rush. They didn't care about wiping out the other team's players, it was a match to decide who would reach the enemy team's flag first.

Alex was now unfocused, he felt like everything he had planned was for nothing. This whole time he had in mind that they would be fighting against Lucas. His entire plan was revolved around that single player.

He did his best to improvise at the moment, but clearly, it wasn't working, and without his much-needed preparation, he usually would have he stood their cell shocked.

"Everyone get in front of me!" Frank said, "I will cover our behind from the other two, you guys keep moving forward."

At that moment, Frank could see that the group needed a leader and Alex was not fit for that role at the moment. His experience as captain for Hershal was finally starting to show as he made a calm decision.

Behind the team were a dual-wielding axe player and a rapier warrior. Frank felt confident if he was to go up against just the axe wielder on his own. He would be able to hide behind his s.h.i.+eld most of the time.

The problem was going to be the rapier user who focused on speed. Without hesitating the Westgate team moved forward and prepared to risk his life, and so did Frank, aiming to be a solid wall between them and his teammates.

The axe wielder was first to charge in, he used all his strength, putting both axes as close together as possible as he swung it hard at Frank's side.

However, Frank was prepared and wielded up his large s.h.i.+eld just in time. Now it was the rapier wielder's turn. It was a female player on the Westgate team. She tried to get around behind Frank, avoiding the s.h.i.+eld, but Frank wouldn't let up.

He no longer felt like there would be an opportunity to attack so instead, all he was going to do was defend. If he could just be by the team a few more seconds, it would be worth it in the end.

Then suddenly, something unexpected had happened, the axe user was the one who started to try to get around behind Frank. It was a surprising move, and Frank was to slow to react as he had been keeping an eye on the girl too much.

Before Frank could do anything else, the axe wielder threw out of his hands, both of the axes were planted right in Frank's back. But still, Frank stood his ground and held his s.h.i.+eld up high, not even dropping it for second leaving no chance for the rapier user to dart forward.

Then Frank felt like his foot had been caught in something, he was no longer able to move. As he looked down, he could see that a bear-like trap had been placed on the floor. June who had been watching the confrontation from far away had a smile on his face.

Beforehand, he had handed one of his traps to his own players. Telling them exactly where to place it and how it worked.

Now with Frank stuck, the Axe player had arrived pulling his axes form Frank's back, before slas.h.i.+ng his head off with one hard swing.

While Frank was busy dealing with the two behind them. Dan had decided to charge in. The team could no longer waste any more time, they needed to get to the base before the Npc knights did.

Scarlett was busy trying to distract the Crossbow user. However, every time she would fire out an arrow, the crossbow user would use her role skill to dodge and get out of the way. But she wasn't rolling away from the shots. Instead, she was rolling closer.

And before she knew it, the crossbow user was close enough to where she could reach out her hand and hit her. Scarlett tried readying her bow but it took a lot longer compared to the crossbow.

Bang*

One shot was all it took for Scarlett to disintegrate into the blue particles.

Now all that was left on the team was Alex and Dan.

Not for a second did Dan look back as he charged forward, he wanted to show Tony wherever he was, that the skills he had been taught were useful. While Alex was hesitant with every single action, he was taking.

He started to second guess himself at every turn, and it only got worse as it seemed everything was going wrong.

Dan had finally reached the spear player who only wielded a sword now. This meant he was now no longer able to cast any skills and was required to use his real hand to hand combat skills.

The player swung the sword at incredibly slow and sloppy. Dan could see what he was planning to do from a mile away and was able to predict his movements. After dodging the strike by slightly leaning back, Dan decided to use his hammer strike skill. This attack focused on doing internal damage.

The fist came out fast and short, hitting the player in the chest and temporary stunning him for a bit. Then using his legs, he kicked him to the face, and he had burst into blue particles.

"It seems like Dan is using a combination of real-life skills with game skills!" Josh said.

"Yeah, I don't believe we have ever seen Dan perform the game skills before. Our information here states that he's only been playing the game for a couple of months. No wonder he doesn't rely on the skills so much." Cindy explained.

The Montem crowd started to cheer as the first bit of good news had come to their team.

"Come on Dan, I know you can do It!" Novis said.

Right, all he wished for was to be able to take part in the game, if he did, then they might have a winning chance. But right now, he felt useless as all he could do was watch from the side lines.

An arrow then came shooting out towards Dan's back.

*clang

However, Alex had managed to snap out of his hesitancy and decided all he could do right now was support Dan to the best of his abilities. He had drawn his s.h.i.+eld and dived in front of the arrow using his s.h.i.+eld bash skill at the right moment.

"Coem on Dan!" Alex said, "We can do this together."

Dan felt strong, he felt powered. He was confident that as long as Alex could cover him for the few mistakes, he made along the way, they could win this game.

They ran forward towards the castle again and now the only person who was in front of them was the trap master. All the others were on their backs and would soon catch up though.

"This is it!" Dan said, "All I need to do is beat this guy, and we've won."

But at that moment, a smirk appeared on June's face.

"Time's up."
