Omega Summoner

“I agree that all of you are formidable, but I must get this win.” Vayu stated as his sword suddenly carried a different aura that changed even the surroundings. Dark clouds gathered in the battlefield which made Blade smile as the plan is now in motion.

“Petal Sword Dance!” Blade stated as the thousand of swords became like cherry blossoms that suddenly blocked the view of the ones he is battling.

“Thunderhammer Slash!” Vayu stated as the whole field suddenly became flooded with light as a large lightning bolt came crashing down.

The whole battlefield became enveloped in a bright flash of light and the last thing that the audience saw is that the Golden Sprite became disintegrated into pieces. The whole crowd became silent as they waited for the system to announce who actually won the match.

[Player Hou Yiwei has successfully destroyed the Golden Sprite. Team China has been awarded 100 points for the destruction of the Golden Sprite. Congratulations.]

“It seems that Hou Yiwei managed to grab the win by a hair’s breadth! How did he do it?! Let us see the replay using the holographic projections in full detail!” The announcer stated as he gave the cue to the technical division.

The crowd erupted in cheers as soon as they received the announcement of who won despite not knowing how it happened. It just goes to show that people can also be excited with just the result instead of the process.

The holographic screens suddenly started to back track the video as it is replayed in five times the slowness. It showed Vayu using his skill, Thunderhammer Slash, in order to reach the Golden Sprite in a remarkable speed.

It would have ended there but a totem with a griffin head suddenly materialized which shielded the Golden Sprite but simultaneously locking it into place. The Golden Sprite could not escape the prison it is sealed in, but it was defended against the attack with powerful lightning.

The Thunderhammer Slash is not finished though as the totem that blocked it suddenly started to crack which meant that it could not easily hold the attack despite blocking the first strike. Unbeknownst to the two, Hou Yiwei already had a contingency plan just in case something like this happened.

Hou Yiwei’s eyes burned golden while the white of his eyes became red. His face also started to show some scales as if he is transforming to a whole dragon. He stayed in human form though as he used the skill that he received when he reached level 200.

“Vanishing Shot!” Hou Yiwei stated as all his senses became enhanced while his reaction speed became faster. He activated the Dragonification skill at a fast rate as if he is just a dragon masquerading as a human. As if the timing could not even be more perfect, the arrow he let loose vanished into thin air.

The next thing that Vayu and Totem notice is that an arrow is now piercing the griffon totem summoned by the United States player Totem. The Golden Sprite is pierced with the arrow that Hou Yiwei unleashed. He then smiled as he knew that he won even though both of his opponents were unaware of the way he did it.

“Talk about the perfect shot I the given situation! Hou Yiwei also used his Level 200 Awakening Skill called Vanishing Shot. This attack will make the arrow disappear after being fired and will give the properties of True Shot to the arrow released.

The arrow that is released will hit the target unless they could perceive invisible arrows. The arrow will always hit and has been deemed as the attack that never misses. It is a Level 200 skill that is limited to archers that are mid-ranged like that of Hou Yiwei.” The announcer stated as the whole stadium reupted into cheers.

The game pods opened one by one as all the players must exit it. All the players were inside of the game pod for 5 hours and 47 minutes. As the battlefield of the event is not time dilated, a whole time of less than six hours dawned on the players. Even if they have the cutting-edge game pods, neck pain is still a thing or sore muscles.

“Let us thank the players that participated in the even by giving them the biggest applause that we could muster. Congratulation to the Chinese National Team for getting first place in the event. Congratulations to the Japanese team for achieving second place. Congratulation also to the United States team!” The announcer stated as the audience gave thunderous applause to the players.

The players all gave a happy, stoic, or slightly sad face upon getting their results. This is the first of the events which means the next ones are more difficult than they can prepare for. The national teams immediately got called by their coaches the moment that they got five minutes of smiling and waving to fans.

Just before the players could get out of the stage, the announcer suddenly made them remember that he has yet to say who got the special award of MVP. The audience thought that it is actually Hou Yiwei that would get the title, but it is actually Vayu that got it.

“The MVP for this event is none other than Player Vayu. Let us look back at the scenes where solidified his position as the MVP!” The announcer stated as the holographic images reflected what Vayu did to earn the title.

The first clip that they used is how Vayu used the terrain and his affinity to the fullest. He is using the wind element to actually stir up the other players. He knew that normal tactics will not be that effective in a forest environment. He utilized the terrain and his skills to their advantage.

They even have instances where a swordsman asked him for a one on one. Sadly, that person already died by Vayu’s hands. The next clip is about Vayu’s amazing form and sword style that could only be described as breathtaking.

Vayu used only the bare minimum in the earlier fights as he even clashed with Frey. Their match did not last long as Frey got killed by the numerous curses and crowd control spells that the onlookers used the disaster to their advantage. Frey got killed by the lava blast that immediately disintegrated her body.

The fact that it took about three groups to properly hold her down meant that she is crazy strong. She did not get criticism for dying due to the lava blast as she fought valiantly and full of spirit. The fact that 15 or so people are not confident about their skills against Frey means that she is a great combatant.

Even Frey would admit that Vayu is the better swordsman, but she will never lose in a head on collision. The players left the arena in order to calm themselves from the excitement and to also rest their minds that planned their approach.

“To think that old man, Vayu, would actually lose despite that form. That Hou Yiwei is really a monster like no other. Am I right Adrian?” Marlon asked as he wanted to share the excitement with his best friend.

“He is definitely strong but the one that we should worry about is the player called ‘Totem’. That Totem guy might actually be a bit more powerful than a normal shaman. He has yet to reveal his cards as there are still numerous small totems hanging around his neck.” Adrian pointed out which the other caught on as well.

“Oh my! That is a very exciting match! This makes me want to actually but a game pod and try the game. Should we actually do that darling?” Adrian’s mother asked her husband.

“That is correct, darling. I also felt some excitement lit inside of me as if a fire burned. I think I was brought back to my childhood years when I imagined myself as a superhero.” Adrian’s father stated as he is in the same wavelength as his wife.

Actually, it is not only Adrian’s parents that got interested but also the people that just heard of the game started to order the game pods. The revenue of the game Pandemonium shot through the skies with just one event. Who knows what the future will hold if all the events finished? The player base of the game might actually balloon to about three time more.

“Regardless, I am hungry. Grandpa said that he will meet us and take us to a restaurant. What time will we do that?” Adrian asked. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢

“There still an hour before your grandfather comes which means that we are also free to explore the area. It seems that they are letting people go to the stage to take pictures. The game pods already receded below the stage.” Mina stated as she pointed to the stage.

“Let us go then.”
