章節 24: Fanbase

Arthur had selected his usual character Dragonslayer. Not only did Dragon slayer look like him, but he also used the same type of weapon. Dragonslayer was the perfect fit for Arthur.

The first game had started, he entered the game with the four other players on his team. The other four were all friends and currently grouped up in a party chat. When they say who their fifth member was, they all couldn't help but moan.

"Why did he have to pick a low tier one?" One of them said

Although there were around 100 Warriors to chose from in the game. In truth, the pro players only used about 20 of them. These were deemed as high tier picks. People who wanted to be good at the game naturally followed and tried to imitate them.

Dragonslayer was a character who wasn't even selected between mid-tier players, it really was the bottom of the barrel pick. Dragonslayer was just a warrior who was okay at everything. In a team game, you wanted different characters to specialise in different things.

Because of the warrior Arthur chose, the team decided to do their own thing without involving Arthur. Two of them went to the top lane and two of them went to the bottom lane. Leaving Arthur the middle lane. Of course, Arthur could have chosen to still go top or bottom but he preferred to do his own thing.

As Arthur arrived in the middle lane, so did the red and blue knights but there was no sight of another warrior there. Arthur made quick work of the blue knights defeating each one in a single strike. He knew this time to allow his knights to go in front of him so they could take the initial cannon shot from the tower. As he was waiting for his knights to reach the tower. Arthur sensed something behind him.

Currently, on the blue team, a warrior named Interfector was hiding in the forest. Interfector was the same character that Bill had used. It was an assassin character that used two daggers. The warrior was most useful when it was hidden and it was important for it to get the first strike. As soon as Arthur had turned his back and let the knight's lead the front. Interfector leapt out of the forest aiming for Arthurs back.

Interfector was fast and was sure to strike first but ever since Arthur died the first time, he was always extra cautions. As the dagger was about to pierce his back Arthur spun and knocked one of the daggers out of Interfectors hand.

Before the Interfector could do anything else, Arthur had already sliced him in half.

Suddenly, Notification screens started to pop up.

The red team members looked at each other, thinking it was incredibly fast for someone to have already taken down a tower, as well as get the first kill. They could see on their map that the middle tower was the one taken, meaning it wasn't any of them. Since they hadn't seen Arthur fight, they assumed he must have got lucky and was fighting against a noob.

"Hey, do you want to go help out the other teammates?" Novis asked Arthur.

Arthur thought about it for a while then said, "I think it's best if we leave them be if they wanted to work together they can always speak to me and ask. Also, we might get the chance to show you how to fight in a situation where you are outnumbered."

Arthur decided to wait patiently for the other teammates. As long as he did nothing in the middle lane, the knights would always fight each other to a draw. Of course, he couldn't guarantee that his teammates would lose.

The two people at bottom had managed to kill one member of the blue team but then both of them ended up dying. While top fared even worse, both of them had died without giving any damage to the other team.

"Dammit!" One of the guys said, "Why didn't that Pendragon come to help us after he defeated mid, it would have been three against two."

Now that all members of the Red team had died apart from Arthur. They had no choice but to watch him for the rest of the game. Although they weren't cheering for Arthur to win, they were more spiteful that he didn't come to help them and was wishing to see him lose.

Arthur knew he was the last one left, the other team would now group up and come face him. As Arthur waited he could finally see the blue team arrive.

The three members on the blue team didn't even bother to hide and came right at him.

"Watch carefully now," Arthur said before dashing towards them.

"haha, this is what you deserve for not helping us out." One of the red team said.

The person leading the charge was a large warrior with heavy armour and a shield, a tank as they called it. Behind him was a female warrior who held two short blades and further in the back was a man with a bow. As Arthur saw this, he thought the team worked well together. The formation they were using meant they had some experience. No wonder his red teammates had failed.

As the tank came towards him, Arthur avoided his direct charge swerving around him. These warriors were slow and would take a long time to kill.

Next was the person who was duel wielding blades. Although strong in attack they were weak in defence. As the duel wielder came towards him Arthur stabbed at her. She held up both of her blades to block the attack but the long sword was heavier and more powerful flinging her in the air backwards.

Arthur true aim was the archer in the back, this whole time he had made sure to stay in the line of fire of his teammates. This way the Archer had no opportunity to attack. The Duel wielder was currently being flung in the direction of the archer. The Archer had no choice to move out of the way. The problem with archers were they bad up close.

The archer looked around wondering were Arthur had gone. Arthur had used the duel welder's body as a blind spot to swerve around and appear behind the archer. Arthur quickly stabbed the Archer, causing him to burst into blue particles. Arthur then went to stab down on the duel wielder who was still on the ground.

Now there was only one opponent left. The tank. The tank roared in anger but it was useless. The Tanks strikes were simply avoided or blocked and Arthur would strike back 4 times for every one of the tanks. Eventually, the tank had been hurt too bad and he too had burst into blue particles.

The four people watching had their mouths wide open. They couldn't help but think that what they had just witnessed was the act of a pro player. The only thing was they had never heard of the ID Pendragon before. They could only assume it was a pro playing on their smurf account.

As Arthur went to start a new game, the four of them went to watch Arthurs next match. Unknown to Arthur he was slowly building a fanbase.
