Tournament Of Delusions!
Episode 9: The Tournament!
Team Far Eastern Magic Nap Society celebrated their victory in the qualifiers in their usual café in the game.
"Cheers!" they shouted in unison as they clashed their glass of juices together.
"So Dark Flame Master, what's the main tournament going to be like?" asked Mori Summer.
"Well, it's a map several kilometres in wide and length, set on a completely different server specially designed for the tournament. Four teams will be put into the map at random points of the map. The last team standing wins" he replied.
"I see, in other words, a battle royal"
"But the Wicked Eye is the strongest of all, no matter the opponents, we shall triumph" Wicked Eye added.
"Well said my Master" Mjollnir Hammer cheered as she clapped her hands.
"I really want to know where you get that positivity from" asked Mori Summer sarcastically.
"Well, there's no point in doubting ourselves, you know? We've gone this far, so let's win this" said Dark Flame Master with encouragement.
"I guess so huh?"
Their celebration soon came to an end as they were teleported to the special server.
They were spawned outside a temple ruin inside a jungle.
Dark Flame Master scanned around their current position, "No one in sight" he reported.
"Okay, let's split up, that way we can surround a team when we encounter one" Black Phantom suggested, "Mori Summer with Divined Napper and Mjollnir Hammer as Group A. Magical Devil Girl with Wicked Eye as Group B. And last of all, me with Dark Flame Master as Group C"
"No way!" shouted Wicked Eye.
"Why not? Put the strongest together and we will win"
"I just don't want to; I'll go with Dark Flame Master"
"But I want to…"
Dark Flame Master took a sigh, "I'll go with Wicked Eye, you go with Magical Devil Girl"
"Fine…" said Black Phantom as Wicked Eye lit up her face with a bright smile, she puffed out her cheeks.
The three groups separated and distanced themselves Group B moved between Groups A and B while they moved forward into the jungle towards the centre of the map.
After a ten minutes' walk, Dark Flame Master noticed that they were getting near the end of the jungle. A large lake was placed at the centre of the map. From there, they spotted a ruined city in front, a desert on their right and lastly a castle stood tall on the left.
"Where do you suppose the teams are at the moment?" Dark Flame Master asked.
"I, the Wicked Eye shall find them… Demonic Eye!" Wicked Eye shut her eyes tightly as if she was using all her concentration on the single move.
"Got it, there are two teams near the borders of the city and the castle, can't seem to find the other team though"
"It's okay, from the looks of things; they must've spawned the desert area. We'll head towards the two teams that are about the clash first before we head towards that team"
Dark Flame Master called everyone in the party chat, "There are two teams near the borders of the city and the castle, we're heading there is have a look"
"Roger that" Black Phantom replied.
"Good job Wicked Eye" he complimented. She smiled with an accomplished face as he gently patted her head.
The party then moved in the direction of the castle before they headed to the city's direction.
Sounds of swords clashing and guns firing got louder and louder as they approached the border between the two fields.
"They've already started the battle huh?" whispered Dark Flame Master as he hid behind a tree with Wicked Eye and confirmed that the others were hidden too.
They took a peek out and saw the intense battle. A team which seemed like a military squad of five was fighting a beam saber equipped mecha team of also five members.
"What team is that…?" Dark Flame Master asked with curiosity.
"I don't know but they look strong Dark Flame Master, but still not as strong as me though" he forced out a smile and continued to watch the battle.
"Damn how are we not dealing damage to them?!" the commander of the military team asked with frustration.
"It's no use! They're precisely deflecting our bullets with their swords!"
"Is that even possible?!"
The commander pulled out a combat knife and charged towards a member of the opposition. The military team completely halted their fire scared that they would hit the commander.
"Damn you!" as the commander approached the member at top speed, but the other four dashed pass the commander several times and left him fatal wounds.
"This can't be…" the commander had died; all that was left was the four other members.
"Avenge the commander!" the remaining four charged them with combat knives and resulted in complete annihilation.
"Those guys are fast…" Dark Flame Master commented.
"You six, come out, we know you're there" said a member of the mecha team.
Dark Flame Master came out of hiding with the others and met face to face with who he thought was the team leader.
"You're Dark Flame Master huh? I've heard about you"
"Really? I'm that famous?"
"And that over there is the Wicked Eye?"
Wicked Eye immediately hid behind Dark Flame Master.
"I've always wanted to fight you, Dark Flame Master" the leader activated his sword and readied his stance to strike.
"I'll gladly accept your challenge" Dark Flame Master unsheathed his sword and prepared himself for a counter. The other four mecha team member prepared themselves for the remaining members of the Far Eastern Magic Nap Society.
"Hey now, don't forget us" said an unknown voice from behind the mecha team. A shadow emerged from behind the building ruin.
A white team of knights appeared, "I am Lancelot of the Angelic Knights team, and you will not defeat us"
"Oh yeah? I am Kaiser of the Star Saber team won't be going down so easily" said the leader as he pointed his beam saber towards Lancelot.
