70 Proof of Cheat

"Look, I found him," someone posted on the stream, along with a location.

People started to visit the location and saw 2 people, one girl and one boy walking along a riverbank. They were Pink Star and Obcisor. People looked at Obcisor's number hovering on top of his head, and immediately realized, it was in fact him. The player at the top ranking. The cheater.

"Yes, that is him."

"Finally, we found him."

"Look, there is a panther a bit ahead of him. Let's see what he does."

People started to speculate as they spectated.

Obcisor had been walking for nearly 6 hours now, and it was already dawn. The night didn't last very long in the competition and turned today swiftly.

Even after walking down the river bank for so long, there still wasn't an end or even a place to cross the river. He had fought a lot of monsters along the way but didn't find many materials along the river bank.

He hadn't bothered checking in the river as he didn't like that he had to swim. As he was walking along, he saw something in the distance.

A black object was moving along the tall grass. He took out his daggers, ready to fight whatever was in the grass. Suddenly, a panther jumped out of the grass and swung its paws at him.

He didn't bother dodging and instead just attacked the panther. Just as he attacked it, the panther died.

<[Lethal Strike] has been activated>

'Oh wow.' He was astounded. This was the first time the title had activated, and it surprised him. Pink Star was behind him, shocked at what had just happened.

"How did you kill the monsters in one hit?" she couldn't help but ask. Obcisor didn't know what to say. He didn't want to reveal his title's existence, so he just lied.

"I think the panther didn't have much HP, to begin with. My attack did critical damage, and it died," He said. Pink Star didn't know if she should believe him or not, but couldn't come up with any other reason, so she reluctantly did.

The two then went on their way.

People had been spectating the 'fight' between the panther-like monster and Obcisor.

"Oh my god. Did you guys see that? He just touched the monster and it died. Now we have definite proof that he cheated."

"Holy Sh*t. He is blatantly cheating. Does he not fear the GM will ban him?"

"I am reporting him to ASAGE. I suggest you guys do too."

"I told you guys he was cheating. He took 0 damage when I attacked him too. I already reported him."

The spectators were mad at the first-place holder cheating so openly. They started to send reports after reports to the ASAGE's players department but got zero results.

After a while, they all got the same response.

A dark-skinned woman was in the desert fighting a giant sandworm. There were over 20 people currently fighting this giant sandworm.

The sandworm had over 15,000 HP and very high defense. It kept sending out sand storms that damaged every player in the surrounding.

The players were fighting this giant worm, and hanging by with tooth and nail. The sandworm dealt a lot of AOE damage that the players, unfortunately, had to endure.

Not everyone among the 20 people was in a single party. There were multiple parties, and single players fighting this monster.

They needed this many people if they wanted to fight the Wild boss of the desert. The dark-skinned woman started casting a skill, as she pointed her fancy-looking wooden staff at the worm.

Suddenly, a massive circular pattern started forming under the worm, and it lit on fire. The fire was massive, and the players could feel the heat all the way from the back.

The giant worm fell down to the ground. But it was not dead yet. It was far from dead. It had only just reached its 50% hp.

Out of nowhere, the sands around the worm started spiraling around it, and soon formed a cyclone made up of nothing but sand.

The worm slowly stood up within the eye of the cyclone. The sands slowly started to move towards each other, and clump together.

As soon as the clump of sand was as large as a fist, it suddenly shot out in every direction. Some went into the skies, some towards the ground. Some towards the players, and some even towards the worm itself.

The 20 or so players started to take cover from the bullet-like sands. The main tanks in the raid started using various skills to block the incoming sand. Overall, they took quite a little damages.

However, the sands that were not hitting the players, but the worm, didn't damage it at all. Instead, once the sand hit the worm, it stuck on there.

Slowly, more and more sand started to attack the worm's body. Before anyone could realize it, the worm now had a hard rock-like armor.

This was the giant sand worm's battle form.

The sand cyclone had died down, and it was time to fight the boss once more. The tanks rushed forward to aggro the boss, while the ranged DPS started to attack the boss.

The rock armor started to flake away, and fall off the sandworm as it took damage. Any part of the armor that fell off, however, immediately shot towards a random player.

The players were constantly bringing out their health potions, and drinking them to survive. The dark-skinned woman brought out her mana potion and drank it. Afterward, she started hitting the sandworm with more magic skills.

Slowly, the numerous players that were there managed to deal enough damage to the wild boss to bring its HP down to zero.

'Nice,' the dark-skinned woman thought. The raid was totally worth it. Although a few people in the raid had died, all of her own party members had managed to survive, so she didn't care much about it.

"Hey Irene, C'mon, we need to find the material before anyone else does," a girl from her side called her. Everyone had done enough boss raids by now, that they all knew about the high points giving materials that the wild boss protected.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Irene replied and went with her. This was Charming Irene that Obcisor had partied with back in the wolf dungeon along with Red, Pink Star, and Tiny Army.

All 20 remaining members of the raid were now frantically searching for the material. Unlike normal grassland or forest, where the materials were usually grown on trees, there was nothing in the desert.

Meaning, it was probably buried in the sand somewhere. Everyone was combing through the desert trying to find the material. They all wanted the 2000 points.

Irene was combing the desert too when she came across something. It looked like a dried plum but was perfectly round at the same time.

<Congratulations, you have earned 2000 points for obtaining 'Desert Plum'>

Suddenly, white light started shining from all around her. "Did I do something?" she wasn't sure.

She looked towards her friend and found out she was seeing the same phenomenon too. Everyone was. She realized what was happening.

She looked to her friends and said, "Try to last till the final day. Good Luck".

In the next moment, everyone vanished. The desert was once more in complete silence.
