MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

1149  Opportunity at Retaliation

Just as those words left Scho’doxa’s mouth, the man swept one of his arms to the side, causing a portion of the people on the field to teleport on the floating platforms.

Surprisingly, one of those chosen was Valyr.

Whoosh!

Though he’d been caught unaware when he was teleported to one of the platforms, the young man immediately understood what was going on, reminding himself that he’d only gotten a pass up to the third round.

Now that it was the fourth round, he had to participate in the tournament just like the others, especially if he wanted to obtain all of the best items the tournament could give him.

‘According to Scho’doxa earlier, there’s a hundred people on each platform.’ Recalling the explanation he gave to all of them, Valyr pushed his perception to the limit to see what kind of people he’d be fighting against.

Of course, he reminded himself that his only goal was to push all of the other people off the platform while doing so, considering that none of them knew each other.

By the time he was done looking around, he got the feeling that most of the people on the platform had a strength that hovered between the peak of Rank 3 to the peak of Rank 4.

With that, the young man nodded to himself, more than confident that he’d be able to clear the fourth round without much problem.

However, as he glanced at his opponents once more, he soon noticed a couple of people staring at him.

Raising his eyebrows in slight curiosity, the young man went ahead and activated [Hunter’s Tracking Eyes] to push his vision just a bit further, only to wryly smile once he realized who those people were.

“Out of all the coincidences I thought might happen… this isn’t one I was expecting.”

Unexpectedly, the other side took notice of him as well, their expressions changing once they realized he was on the same platform as them.

“The heavens are truly just!” said You with rage-filled glee, his hands itching to return the humiliation Valyr gave them. “Haha… to think we’d meet each other on the round where killing is permitted.”

“From this day onward, Ylvar will learn that the Shou brothers are not to be trifled with.” As these words left his mouth, You glanced at Zuo, receiving a firm nod from the latter in response.

However, even though Zuo was also glancing at Valyr, his thoughts ran differently from his brother.

At the same time, he thought back to the times he’d met the young man back at the frontlines, reminding himself that the young man had both individual power and connections.

Unfortunately, seeing as his brother was hellbent on getting revenge for their image and reputation one way or another, Zuo could only let out a sigh in response as he glanced at the other opponents surrounding them.

As Valyr and the Shou brothers continued to glance at each other for a bit longer, the other people on their platform looked at their surroundings, assessing their chances at becoming the last one standing on their platform.

By the time a couple minutes had passed since Scho’doxa signaled the start of the fourth round, it was only then did one of the people on the platform finally make a move.

However, it was not a move most of the people on the platform were expecting.

Swoosh!

Unexpectedly, rather than heading straight towards the center to take initiative and control over the entire platform, the first person to make a move instead beelined in the opposite direction before jumping off without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Seeing that the person that jumped off was immediately teleported back to Veldanyr, most of the people that planned to make a move in response paused in their steps for a brief moment as they thought about their next course of action.

Surprisingly, a third of the people on the platform swiftly decided to do what the first person did, jumping off the platform without hesitation as they were soon sent back to Veldanyr.

With less than 70 people remaining on the platform after that, almost everyone looked at each other before heading towards the center, coming to a tacit agreement that they should earn the right to stay on the platform.

Swoosh!

Activating [Flash of the Azure Dragon] to hasten his movement speed, Valyr became one of the first ones to arrive at the center of the platform, immediately turning him into the priority target for many people.

“[Limit Break: Second Verse].”

Bang!

However, before those people could even land an attack, the young man retaliated by brandishing his spear, sweeping out at them the moment he activated one of his stat-boosting skills.

At the same time, he flared out his aura in its entirety, causing those who thought he was easy pickings to immediately change their targets to someone else.

Unfortunately for them… that didn’t mean Valyr changed his targets as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Though he made sure to not severely injure those he hit with his spear, Valyr showed no hesitation in maneuvering his spear in various ways, sending a couple of people flying off the platform with every hit.

Because of that, it did not take long for the number of the people on the platform to go below half, only for it to reach less than 20 not even 10 minutes later.

At that point, it turned into a game of chase as each person had more than enough space to roam about. Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Nevertheless, with his insanely high stats for his rank, coupled with his arsenal of stat-boosting skills, Valyr was still able to send one or two people off the platform every couple of minutes, slowly decreasing the remaining number of opponents he had to fight.

By the time half an hour since the fourth round began, only 10 people remained on the platform Valyr was in, all of which had their own set of skills that allowed them to stay on the platform for so long.

Taking a bit of time to catch his breath as he was the main culprit for sending the most people off his platform, the young man’s expression turned slightly grim when he noticed a few people appear in front of him.

However, that expression immediately turned into a faint smile once he recognized who the people were.

“Finally decided to make a move, huh?”
