Chapter 66 Trap
𝔫𝑂𝗏𝑒𝐋𝑵𝑒xt.𝑐𝔬𝑚
It took Dilip seven minutes to lead Rishi to the location marked on the map; they started looking for the camp of another guild and soon found a hut made of wood.
Rishi saw one person sitting in front of the fire; It looked like he was guarding the camp by keeping an eye on the surroundings; he was a little sleepy and was opening his eyes in between for some time before closing them again.
Rishi took out his Bow and eliminated that person quickly, after which he summoned Vakar and slowly entered the hut; he saw the remaining four members sleeping peacefully.
‘Forgive me, friends, I need to win,’ Rishi said in his mind before approaching them slowly; he asked Vakar to shoot the remaining member with a ‘water bullet’ while Rishi decided to slice the neck of one member before using ‘Quick Draw’ skill back to back to take care of the remaining two.
Rishi felt guilty but somehow convinced himself that he was eliminating them, and they would have done the same if they got the same chance. He took a deep breath and eliminated the first one, not giving it any chance to cry. After this, he used ‘Quick Draw’ to eliminate the other two.
Vakar also used ‘Water Bullet’ to eliminate the last person; Rishi was not feeling well about what he had done, but when he saw how many points he got. He convinced himself that it was just a game and that he would never do something like it in real life.
Rishi came out of the hut and saw Dilip looking at him, “Let’s go; the sun is about to rise. we don’t have much time,” said Rishi.
Dilip didn’t argue with Rishi this time, as everything he could say he had already said; Rishi would not listen to his advice right now. He showed Rishi the way to the location of the last guild.
They soon saw a camp. Rishi smiled when he saw that the map was correct, But what surprised Rishi was that no one was guarding the camp; this took away the smile from Rishi’s face.
“Maybe they are careless and believe that they are safe at night and there’s no need to guard,” He reasoned that before slowly approaching the camp, Rishi was feeling some danger from his sixth sense but was blinded by his arrogance and greed, and decided to ignore his instinct. He summoned Sheru this time when he felt some danger again and decided to enter.
Dilip watched everything taking place but decided not to interfere; Rishi soon reached the camp entrance and entered it with his sword in his hand.
Just as Rishi took his first step inside the camp, he felt a chill run through his body. He had never faced such a dangerous situation; he saw multiple attacks coming at him.
Rishi tried to defend himself, but some attacks landed on him, injuring him; Sheru used his ‘harden’ skill to protect Rishi, but it was not enough, and he too got injured soon; Rishi called him back when he saw that Sheru was injured, when Rishi thought it was over even more powerful skills were launched at him.
Two hands of rock came out of the earth and held Rishi’s legs, making it impossible to dodge; multiple arrows were coming at him, which looked very deadly; the spear and sword attack followed arrows, ready to end Rishi.
Till now, Rishi was able to defend himself due to his excellent armor, but defending against the upcoming attacks was impossible for him when he looked at the condition of his armor; at the last second, his passive ‘Enhanced focus’ activated, which made the time slow down for him; he started looking for ways to survive, and at last mili-second, he used his ‘shadow walk’ skill and disappeared from the view.
The attack landed and created a small explosion, making it even harder to see anything.
“Was there only one?” said one member.
“He defended quite well for a second, but it was all he could do,” said another.
“I told you a shadow was following us, and the other guild will attack us at night,” said another member.
“Why didn’t I receive the points? I thought I got the last hit,” said the archer.
“How could you get points when it was my spear attack that eliminated him,” said the spearman as he checked and found that he also didn’t receive any points. “Who got the points then.”
Everyone checked and discovered that no one had any points; they looked at the tank. “Don’t tell me his hammer got the last hit,” said one.
Just as the tank was checking, Rishi used this opportunity when everyone was distracted and got near the archer and the mage. Then he came out of the shadow and used the ‘Triangle Slash’ sword technique to eliminate them. After which, he summoned Sheru, climbed on its back, and started escaping.
The sound of Rishi’s attack alerted the other members, and they saw Rishi was trying to escape; they summoned their mounts and started pursuing Rishi.
Rishi and Sheru were heavily injured; Sheru could not run as fast as he usually could, and on top of it, he was also carrying his master. Rishi was no longer in a condition to fight; he went toward Dilip and asked for help. “Dilip, help me. Only three are left; you can easily defeat them,” but no response came; it was as if no one was present.
“Dilip, please help me. I will make you a leader of the guild; this is not the time for pranks,” said Rishi in a severe tone, but still, he could only hear the sound of blowing wind and the footsteps of enemies approaching him.
The pursuers soon caught up to him and started attacking him, “Don’t let this bastard be eliminated easily; torture him because of him our guild will not get good rank.”
“Kill his contract beast; how dare he eliminate my friends,” said the other.
They started attacking Rishi and Sheru; if they wanted, they could have eliminated him quickly, but they tried to torture him by hurting him and Sheru with minor injuries, which looked small if counted alone but became deadly when they were in thousands.
Rishi called back Sheru by using all his remaining mana; he knew they couldn’t kill him, but he was not sure about Sheru. Somewhere inside, he knew that maybe contract beasts were protected by the spell, but he didn’t want to take such a significant risk.
Tears started flowing from his eyes from the pain; he started regretting why he was not careful enough and didn’t think there could be a trap, but there was no medicine for regret.
He closed his eyes and accepted his fate, Just as the enemy guild members had gotten bored, and one of them decided to show pity to Rishi by eliminating him, a loud cold voice came from back, “Enough, let him go; you have already gotten your revenge.”
