The Hunter, lying on the ground, suddenly moved. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed it at Hikaru . Hikaru found this act a little funny. He didn't stop him and let him stab him in the stomach.
"Chang!"
As soon as the dagger touched the Void Cloak, there was a resounding sound. The Hunter saw that the knife had barely touched Hikaru's zipper when it was unable to pierce further.
Hikaru reached out and grabbed the Hunter's head, then pierced his head with a Thunder Spear.
"pah!"
Then, a crushing sound resounded. The hunter's head was pierced by the thunder spear. Naturally, the Hunter broke into pieces of armor that fell on the ground. Hikaru held the Hunter's head armor in his hand. Hikaru also had the magician's head armor too, which was hanging by his side.
The dust hadn't dissipated yet, and the Shield wielder still didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, a black orb came flying towards him, which made him wary. The shield wielder raised his shield to defend against the attack and also activated almost all his defensive skills. A layer of yellow light appeared and enveloped him.
"Chang!"
The black orb collided with the light encompassing him and fell to the ground. When the shield wielder looked closely, it was the Hunter's head. The shield wielder jumped back in surprise. However, another black orb flew forward. At this point, the shield wielder had a clear view of the magician's head.
After that, the shield wielder still tried to defend himself and waited for the smoke to settle. After a long time, the smoke cleared, but what frightened him even more appeared before his eyes.
Hikaru stood opposite the shield wielder and about 10 meters away from him, but in the sky there were numerous Thunder Spears. Their numbers were so great that they covered the area around Hikaru and the shield wielder.
At this point, Hikaru's Disable skill had also expired. He used a very confident voice to tell the shield wielder: "How long are you going to be able to defend? 10 seconds? 30 seconds? There are 300 Thunder Spears here. Can you defend yourself from all of them?"
The shield wielder stared at Hikaru, the light in his eyes fading and disappearing. as the shield wielder broke into pieces of armor and lay on the ground. Hikaru didn't mind that. He kept the Thunder Spears flying around, just in case there were other monsters.
[Ding! Congratulations on passing the Void Challenge.]
After hearing the notification from the system, Hikaru let out a sigh and let the Thunder Spears dissipate. This battle was not dangerous, but it was a little difficult. Each Void Soldier had a class, although they all had weaknesses, but when they worked together, they could support and complement each other.
However, thanks to Hikaru's superior skills, he won. Although he only had one type of attack skill, that was the Thunder Spear, Hikaru also had many supporting skills. Besides, he also realizes that although the Death Stamp is very badass, it also has many problems.
The Death Stamp will not work if it does not deal damage to the enemy. This battle clearly showed Hikaru many of his weaknesses and the skills he possessed.
Hikaru shook his head, putting that aside for now. Suddenly, the 6 sets of equipment lit up and then reassembled into a human figure, which stood in front of him. The twinkling stars he had seen before were now slowly descending.
At this point, Hikaru could clearly see that the stars were balls of light about two meters in diameter. Inside those spheres were various weapons and equipment.
Weapons and equipment ranged from swords, katana, bows and arrows, armor,... to guns, wands, shields,...
[Ding! You can choose any item you like. That is your reward for passing the Void Challenge.]
[Ding! Note: All the items here have a class of UR+, the lowest is SSR.]
"Choose anything?" Hikaru rubbed his chin. He looked at all the items present and felt like he liked them all.
"How many items can I choose?"
[Ding! You can only select one item.]
"Only one? That's stingy. " Hikaru groaned. Looking around, he felt that the most valuable things here were the 6 sets of the Void Soldier's armor. They were not just ordinary armor and weapons, but they also had skills related to a specific class.
Hikaru looked around and asked Rika: "Rika, what equipment should I choose?"
[Hm... My master, I don't know. Weapons or equipment suitable for you can only be chosen by you.]
Hikaru let out a sigh, and suddenly he said, "Can I choose any item?"
[Ding! Exactly.]
"So..." Hikaru looked towards the sky and said, "I choose it."
[Ding! Are you sure?]
"Yes."
[Master, did you really choose it? It's not even a weapon.]
Hikaru replied with a smile: "It's okay, it can be used to attack; it's a weapon."
[...] Rika didn't know what to say, so she decided to stay silent.
[Ding! Successfully selected]
…
Hikaru opened his eyes and saw himself appearing in the living room. He was filled with joy. He was glad he finally had a weapon he liked. Besides, the weapon also suited the Void Cloak very well.
Hikaru thought to himself that he would definitely gather a complete set of Void equipment. Although most of the items in the Void Challenge had a fairly powerful class, they didn't match him and his attack style. Therefore, Hikaru gave up his intention to continue entering the Challenge Gate to find more equipment.
Suddenly, a message from the system popped up.
[Ding! Congratulations on overcoming the monster raid event. Surviving players will have five days to prepare. After five days, the players will be divided into groups to fight.]
"Divide into groups?"
[Master, to put it simply, you will form a party with the other players].
Hikaru frowned, feeling a bit confused. He clearly understood the rules of the next event. What made it difficult for him to understand was that the players did not know each other's positions. How could they gather as a group?
[Master, that should be mentioned in the next event. Players will randomly team up. If lucky players are close to each other, they can support each other. However, if the unlucky player is further away than the other players…]
Hikaru understood what Rika was trying to explain. In fact, this was an event where two or more teams fought against each other. Perhaps the system was trying to speed up the elimination of the remaining players.
If the players on the same team are close to each other, they can promptly support each other. If there is a player on the team who is far away from the rest, it is difficult to respond to that person when they are in danger. Besides, finding your way in this world was extremely difficult because of the fog.
[Ding! The system is arranging groups for the players. Please wait a moment.]
…
[Ding! Successful arrangement. Congratulations on joining team number 01772. The players on the team include: Hikaru; Marine; Mossye; Arasun; Sherwin.
[Ding! Note 1: The players in the party can know each other's exact location and the enemy's exact location.
Note 2: The players in the group have an extra function that is [SOS]. Using this function, party players can aid other players by teleporting. However, each person can only use it once.]
There must be a captain in the group.
Hikaru saw the group member's name and was startled. He did not think that Sherwin was a member of his team.
[Master, you must exercise caution.]
"Why?"
[The system didn't say that party members couldn't destroy each other. That means that in the group, there might be a traitor.]
Hearing Rika's words, Hikaru took a deep breath. He felt like crying but couldn't. Being in a group with Sherwin was already difficult. Now that the players in the group can destroy each other, how could he survive?
Besides, without Petran's guidance, Sherwin was in the same group as him, so he could know his exact location.
[Ding!] Group chat group 01772 has been created.
…
Hikaru opened the group chat. No one was talking. He also didn't feel weird because everyone was surprised by this too. Presumably, the players in the party also knew that there was a possibility of a player betraying them, so they were also suspicious of each other.
However, what Hikaru was waiting for was Sherwin. Suddenly, a message appeared. It was from Sherwin. Hikaru saw this and sighed. Whatever would happen would surely happen.
Sherwin: Hikaru, maybe we need to meet in person.
Hikaru: What do you want?
Marine: Oh! Do you two know each other?
Arasun: Didn't you see the messages on the world chat? Sherwin searched for Hikaru's whereabouts. Perhaps there is some enmity between them.
Mossy: God! What's wrong with this group? The group had just formed... Hey, everyone can do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect me. I want to live.
Marine: Me too. No matter what's going on between you two, you should keep it aside for now, because now we're a group, we need to stay united.
Arasun: We need another leader.
Sherwin: This is between me and Hikaru. You guys don't need to interfere.
Hikaru saw the message and just wanted to punch Sherwin in the face and turn his handsome face into mush. Why is this bastard always troubling me? It was Sherwin who messed with me first, right?
Hikaru was angry but he still managed to calm down and texted in the group chat: Sherwin you were the one who attacked me first now you are behaving like the victim. What do you want from me? If it's a fight you want, then I have lost."
Hikaru wasn't afraid of Sherwin; he just didn't want more trouble. He didn't want to waste his time on sherwin's childish antics.
Sherwin: No, I just want to talk to you, face to face.
Hikaru frowned, he didn't believe Sherwin wanted to meet him so that they could talk. He texted back: You can speak here or send me a private message.
Sherwin: I need to talk to you directly about this.
Hikaru felt that this bastard had a mental problem. While Hikaru was thinking, Sherwin continued to text.
Sherwin: You must know about Petran and the Misty Lamp right?
