Chapter 523, The Double-Edged Battlefield, End
"Bullshit!" The captain of the second team charged forward, shoving the tank aside, and rushed to the front. "We got here first!"
"Stop fighting!" the mage of the third team sneered, his staff already glowing. "Whoever gets it keeps it!"
The three teams charged towards the elite monster simultaneously.
No one backed down.
Skills, items, ultimate moves—use everything you can to unleash them.
The warriors in the first team activated [Berserk], their eyes instantly turning blood red, and their attack speed skyrocketed.
He gripped the greatsword with both hands, slashing repeatedly, cutting more than a dozen wounds into the elite monster's legs, each strike sending up a cloud of blood mist.
The mage in the second team cast Meteor, raising his staff high above his head and chanting incantations.
Three seconds later, a meteorite with a diameter of two meters fell from the sky, trailing a long fiery tail, and smashed into the back of the elite monster.
With a deafening roar, the meteorite exploded, sending waves of fire spreading in all directions. The elite monster was knocked off balance, its scales shattering to reveal the blood-red muscles beneath.
The third team's assassins flanked behind, using Shadow Step to get behind the elite monster, followed by a Backstab + Eviscerate combo.
The dagger pierced the back of the neck, slicing down the spine and spraying blood. The elite monster roared in pain, looking up at the sky.
The elite monster retaliates, its tail sweeping across.
The three players were swept away and crashed to the ground, their health points immediately reduced to zero.
They lay on the ground, spitting blood, struggling to get up.
The priests performed frantic healing, green light flashing everywhere, their staffs swung with tremendous force.
But no one backed down.
"The final blow is mine!"
"Bullshit! It's mine!"
"Whoever grabs it keeps it!"
The elite monster's health bar gradually decreased—35%......28%......19%......11%......
Finally, it let out a defiant roar, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
The final blow—
He was a random assassin.
He stood fifty meters away, holding a longbow, the bowstring still trembling.
The arrow pierced the elite monster's eye, entering through the eye socket and exiting from the back of its head, taking away its last bit of health.
The captains of all three teams turned to look at him at the same time.
The assassin grinned, put away his longbow, and turned to run.
His ranking jumped from 103,000 to 97,000.
Worth it.
......
[Global Announcement: 30 minute countdown.]
"Half an hour left! Those ranked 98,000, get going!"
"I have 99,000 points! I'm still 300 points short!"
"Damn, there's an elite over there! Let's grab it!"
The three teams once again charged toward the same goal.
This time, no one wasted words.
Because it was too late.
Every second could be the one that determines your fate.
The tanks stood at the forefront, their shields clashing together with a dull thud.
Some were swatted away by the monster's claws, some were trampled into the ground, and some were torn to pieces, but the rest kept charging forward.
The mages frantically cast spells, their skills illuminating the night sky.
Fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, and arcane missiles—all sorts of lights intertwined, and bursts of sparks exploded from the monster's body.
The assassins circled around, daggers plunging in, sending blood raining down. Some were slapped to death by the monster's turning hand, others were swept away by its tail, but the survivors continued to stab.
The elite monster fell.
Points awarded to Team 8.
An assassin stood there, covered in blood, panting heavily.
His left arm was broken and twisted at an odd angle, but he didn't care about the pain.
He stared at his ranking points.
Ninety-seven thousand five hundred.
He grinned.
Then--
A flash of light appeared behind him.
He turned into a beam of white light.
Another player stepped over the spot where he disappeared, licked his lips, and looked at his score, which had jumped a notch.
"Thank you for your 10%."
His ranking jumped from 98,000 to 97,600.
He continued to charge forward.
He didn't look back even once.
......
[Global Announcement: 10 minute countdown.]
"The last ten minutes! Everyone, fight with all your might!"
"I have 98,200! I'm still 180 short!"
"Too late! Charge straight at the monster horde!"
Someone has gone mad.
A warrior charged straight into the encirclement of three fusion monsters, unleashing all his skills.
【Whirlwind Slash】!
His body spun around, and the greatsword he held in both hands transformed into a blur of light, slashing countless wounds into the three monsters.
The blade sliced through the scales and broke through the bones, splattering blood everywhere.
The monster's counterattack landed on him, its claws tearing through his armor and piercing his flesh.
His health bar was dropping rapidly.
80%......60%......40%......20%......
He doesn't care.
All he knew was that his sword could not be stopped.
Every sword strike is a point.
Every second is an opportunity.
The final sword strike was unleashed.
A wild monster fell down.
His points have been credited to his account.
At the same time, another monster's claw pierced through his chest.
His body fell and turned into white light.
But rankings—
It stopped at 99,999.
Worth it.
......
[Global Announcement: 5 minute countdown.]
"Five minutes left! Five minutes!"
"Damn it! I'm being watched! Help me!"
A mage was fleeing frantically, with three assassins hot on his heels. His mana bar was empty, so he could only run on foot, panting heavily, his chest burning with pain.
"It's too late! Take care of yourself!"
"You fucking—"
White light.
Another white light.
The mage who was being hunted down died with his eyes still open.
His ranking was originally 98,700.
Now, it's over 100,000.
The three assassins stopped and looked at their score, which had jumped a notch.
"Is that enough?"
"Ninety-six thousand is enough for me."
"I have 98,000, I'm still a little short."
"Let's go, continue."
The three disappeared into the night.
......
[Global Announcement: 1 minute countdown.]
The last minute.
The entire battlefield descended into utter madness.
Someone fought with all their might at the last moment to kill an elite monster, and their points were just enough to break into the top 100,000.
His hands were shaking, the knife was shaking, his whole body was shaking.
He stared at the rankings screen.
Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
Freeze.
He plopped down on the ground, not even bothering to pick up his helmet which had rolled to the side.
He grinned.
Then, he cried.
Tears streamed down his cheeks, but he smiled more happily than ever before.
Someone was ambushed from behind at the last moment, losing 10% of their points and instantly dropping out of the safe zone.
He turned back in despair, only to see a flash of light—he himself had turned into white light first.
Even in his dying moments, his eyes remained fixed on the face of the attacker.
Some people were staring intently at the ranking screen, just a tiny bit more—just a tiny bit more!
His finger hovered over the medicine bottle, but time was running out.
The countdown is still ticking.
10 seconds.
9 seconds.
8 seconds.
