章 70: Victory

Haha it seems like he has given up on fighting back, Lacklustree thought in his head. Spatial Rifting behind Sato once again, Lacklustree used Death Hand on the assassin.

To his surprise, just as his arm stretched out trying to hit Sato, the assassin twisted his body side ways, dodging the strike completely. Subsequently after, Sato slashed the mage, dealing 5% of Lacklustree's health.

The injured spatial mage was shocked that Sato could dodge that without even sparing a glance at him. How is that possible?

To prevent himself from behind too close, Lacklustree decided that using long ranged spells would do the trick. Dimensional Collaspe. To the right of Sato, There was a slight disturbance in space. Out of no where, the space started to spiral and twist, attempting to pull Sato. Yet, without looking, the assassin stepped away before he could take damage.

The impossible was done once again, shocking the number one mage. Lacklustree refused to believe that he can dodge everything, casting Void Ball at a rapid pace towards Sato. The 5 spheres that could chunk down his HP came flying in. Like a stroll in the park, Sato simply Blink towards the side. He even casted Twin Leaf Tornado at the position Lacklustree stood.

The furious player had to teleport away once again, unable to do anything about it. "What trick are you using! How is it possible nothing is hitting you?"

"It's quite simple actually, " Sato turned to where his opponent stood. He kindly revealed the reasoning, since even if Lacklustree knew, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

"The biggest flaw in this game's mage characters is the sound effects. Every spell casted will result in a noise being produce. Say for example your Spatial Rift, a 'Blink' Sound is made everytime you use it. As a result, I can easily dodge your attacks."

" I purposely closed my eyes to restrict all the useless senses. Since I will never be able to see you if you strike my blind spots, I may as well lose sight for this fight."

"You may be the best Spatial Mage due to your high Damage Per Second in team fights. However, when up against me, someone that is used to being in a disadvantageous position, you will lose."

Sato after proclaiming his victory, decided to strike out where Lacklustree was standing. To make matters worse now, the spatial mage was panicking inside and out. He hyperventilated loudly making it easier for Sato to know where he was.

In addition, Lacklustree's mana pool was almost drained out after the prolonged fight for 4 minutes. Right as the mage appeared somewhere else, Sato used Battle Mark, teleporting behind his enemy.

"Goodbye." The continuous critical strikes and swipes on Lacklustree eventually ended his pitiful life. If the mage had trapped any other assassin, the outcome would have been his victory.

The kill was just in time for Sato's unique skill refresh. He was finally out of the world. The setting sun in the horizon welcome the assassin. Back where he was originally transported away, the duo of Mars and Gray had finally reached the eventual ending of Complexity's death.

Even though Gray was several levels lower, with his quick reflexes, he was able to damage the top tank player in the world alongside Mars and escape close to unscathed. Mars too had gradually life-stealed his health back when Gray was distracting him.

On the other side, TextDontCall from Vortex and SilentNoise from DeathWing, they managed to take down the leader AutumnLeaves from Angelic Peace. Unfortunately during the flanking of the Human Faction, Yolla from Everlasting had been taken out, his guild too was compromised.

The fight swiftly came to an end when the big guilds were taken out.

"The battle of Paleta City is over. The Undead Faction has won the war and destroyed Paleta City. The server will be closed in 1 hour to undergo major updates." The world notifications rang in every player's game.

"Woo finally all done!" Sato stretched his body as he lied on the grass patch in the forest. Gray stood beside him obediently. The Elven Assassin looked at the placing in the game.

In the end, the death of Everlasting Guild prevented them from receiving any rewards. Sato too, managed to get first place out of the whole battle. Gray on the other hand, joined too late, which resulted in him not getting much contribution points, though that didn't matter much to him.

"Hey Happy," Mars called out to Sato. "It was nice working with you."

One of the best players in the game had complimented Sato. Inside, Sato was squirming in joy, yet he was not allowed to show much emotions in the game.

"Yeah. You too."

"Are you sure you do not want to join my alliance? I'm sure my Guild leader will not decline. I'm referring to you too, DK Seven." Mars extended the olive branch to the duo.

"I'm sorry, but I'm more of a solo player. Staying in a guild restricts me too much." That was a lie. Sato truly wanted to join the number 1 guild in the world. He really did. Regrettably, he was fated to be alone due to his race.

"Well, I'll see you around then. May there be other opportunities of working together."

With that Mars left after adding Sato. Luckily, the Disguised Mask allowed for him to customise his username on his friends list. If not, he would not be able to hide his identity. For Gray's case, he did not bother to change his username, but instead, changed his class and looks back to the original vampire musketeer.

"You ready to log off?" Gray asked Sato. He would follow the boy anywhere he went.

"Yeah! Let's head back to the city first then log off." The duo got off the game after a long day. Even though he wasn't physically moving, Sato felt very hungry.

Just as he was stretching, a familiar silhouette stood by Sato's door. Gray was looking at the young man in front of him. The extremely skinny body of his made Sato look rather frail and weak.

"You wanna grab a bite?" Gray asked.

"Yeah! How'd you know I was hungry?" Sato looked inquisitively at Gray.

"I've known you for long enough to tell that you are hungry." This comment by Gray make Sato confused. I have only been with you for less than a month, thought Sato.

"Besides, I didn't get to eat much in the office. So I am quite hungry myself, " Gray grabbed Sato by the hand, leaving the room. "Let's go."
