⌜Chapter 74⌟

XeXeeD, one of the top contenders of the 2nd BoB, with his extremely rare gun, the XM29 assault rifle, and defense equipment. Another factor that contributed to his winning percentage was that, right before the tournament, he spread misinformation about stat allocation to other players, specifically about AGI being the best build, while, later on in the game, an STR-VIT build proved to be better, of course, Tanaka had a different

All in all, this guy was a cunning person, the moment Tanaka appeared, XeXeeD immediately pointed his gun XM29 and fired rapidly at Tanaka who was moving at a fast speed, Tanaka moved and immediately found a cover.

It was a continuous fire that Tanaka was able to count that XM29 has 150 bullets, goddamn it was actually comparable to a minigun but of course, there are some weaknesses of it, for example, even though Tanaka is hiding behind a not so thick wall, the XM29 wasn't able to pierce it all.

Tanaka also found that it has low recoil and has a stable aim even if fired continuously. it also has a decent range and the bullets travel very fast, that is why Tanaka decided to hide and not parry the bullets away.

It's not like it's a problem for him to parry it all, he just noticed it was not a good spot to do it right now as he noticed 3 more people are moving towards their place.

He might as well buy time for them to arrive and kill them all in a fell swoop.

XeXeeD noticed that his opponent was not going to come out of his hiding spot and so he stopped firing, he may have a lot of bullets but that doesn't mean its infinite, he was also quite happy to know that his opponent was an Agility type player, which is already the weakest, he was sure he already got this in the bag.

But just to make sure, since he had been making lot of noise, XeXeeD decided to scan the surroundings and once he did that, he was immediately alarmed that they were surrounded by 4 players.

"Goddamn it, that bastard baited me!"

He cursed under his breath and immediately started being wary, this hide-and-seek play lasted for 5 minutes, and just as he was thinking nothing is going to happen, XeXeeD heard guns firing around, they seemed to have started their clash and it was chaotic.

He knew this was his chance to catch them all off guard, and he counted 1 to 3 and then finally came out of his hiding spot and pointed at where the gun firing was coming from but just as he did, everything became silenced once again.

[Player Nijuma has been eliminated]

He suddenly saw a notification, but that was not the end of it, just after those notifications, two more appeared.

[Player OppaiDaisuke has been eliminated]

[Player StarJun has been eliminated]

"What?"

XeXeeD was in shock, there was no mistaking it, these were the players that were surrounding them earlier! XeXeeD panicked and started looking around, he knew there was still one player alive, and that player was the one who eliminated the other players.

Moving his head from left to right, XeXeeD felt sudden chills then became warm as he heard a sound.

*Bzzzzz~

XeXeeD turned his head around and the next thing he knew, a lightsaber slashed his head making his health points deplete to nothing.

'No! this isn't what's supposed to happen! I gathered a lot of rare items just for this tournament!'

XeXeeD was unwilling to what happened and before he disappeared, he looked at the player who killed him.

[Player XeXeeD has been eliminated]

[Current Players remaining: 27]

Not even 5 minutes in, 4 players has already been eliminated, this caused a surprise to the players who were participating in BoB, after all, even though this was only the second BoB, it was already a usual routine for players to not kill each other even if 10 minutes have passed, after all, they all play safe.

And dying immediately means being disqualified from the contest, and so the elimination of 4 players caused them to be alert of their surroundings, no one wanted to be eliminated immediately after all.

Tanaka sat down on top of a pillar and grumpily decided to wait, it's not like he can't go on and move around but that will just make him more bored so his only choice right now is to wait for 15 minutes for the scan to be available again.

He will also not move from his position which will make it quite easy for the others to spot him, and when they do come to fight him, they must be the luckiest player who gets a big jackpot.

Well, simply, Tanaka was just being lazy.

"..."

Tanaka's appearance caused quite a fuss among the players who were watching, they were able to see everything that happened, and this made them doubt that what they are seeing is nothing but an action movie, because, someone who only uses a lightsaber actually killed 4 players with rifles!

It was common among players that the lightsaber is a very useless weapon because it was a disadvantage of range, this was normal, and also the players already die before they can even get close to the players, it also can't be used for sneak attack because of the buzzing sound and the light it was emitting so it was dubbed as one of the most useless items in GGO.

But on the screen, they saw the player named Morax moving nimbly, not only dodging the bullets, also parrying them, and what was more amazing is the player was agility based which is commonly known as the weakest and was a way to bait new players.

This time, this spectacle made their eyes wide open, and also the Battle Royale didn't become boring anymore, they are now anticipating what the player named Morax will do next after he eliminated four players in a minute.

"Eh? why is he sitting?"
