Virtual Sword God!

Chapter 117: Quater finals begin

Just as everyone had entered the game and the warriors were being loaded up. Alex was trying to find a seat in the stands. As he turned around, he noticed how many people had actually come to support Novis and the others. The thought of his parents never being there to support him one day made him feel said.

That's when he heard a young boys voice call out to him.

"Hey, your Alex right?" Said Bill, "Come sit with us."

Bill was currently sitting with two of his friends in the front row of the stadium. They were a couple of kids the same age as him that he played with quite frequently. Alex walked over and sat in the spare seat with them.

"How did you know my name?" Alex said.

"You're the captain of the VSW team right, I'm Novis's brother Bill. Of course, I would recognise you, you seemed like the only player who knows how to play the game on the team."

Although Alex was being praised by a 12-year-old, he still felt good about it.

"I wanted to ask you something." Bill said, "I've been looking at Woo Woo and Montem's past games and I'll be honest, it doesn't look like they can win this. Before they relied on strategies I'm guessing where made by you, but now that you aren't in the game. So I wanted to ask you what do you think they need to do to win?"

Alex was pretty amazed. To be able to tell this much just from watching a few matches meant he had to be a high-level player in the game. Unlike his Brother Novis. Of course, Alex had come up with a plan but honestly, it wasn't a very good one.

"You said you were Novis's brother, right?" Alex asked, "The truth is I couldn't find a way for Montem to win this game either. The level difference in experience is just too big. There no way to train complete beginners in the game to become a certain standard overnight."

"So are you saying Montem will lose?"

"No." Alex said. "There is one way and that's Novis. In every game, so far Novis has made vast improvements game after game and judging by his pattern, he will also improve in this one. I would have centred a strategy focusing around protecting Novis, while he does the brute of the damage. It's a risky move because the whole came is relying on one player but I see no other way of them winning."

When Bill heard these words, he felt proud of his brother. He thought back to his one on one match he had with his brother a while ago. His brother had shown amazing skills and if he had improved even more since then. There was a high chance Alex's strategy would work.

Inside the VSW game, each team had decided to progress as usual. Dan and Novis were in the top lane. Frank proceeded down mid, while Scarlett and Ashley went to the bottom.

"Remember to play it safe," Frank ordered. "If you make a single mistake, they will take advantage of it."

Novis took a deep breath as he waited for his NPC knights to reach his lane. He had to focus, remember all the feelings of the past. Remember that exact moment he activated his Berserker mode and use it at the right time.

Out came the enemy team in the top lane. One of the warriors wielded a mace and shield while the other held out a crossbow. The crossbow shot out faster than your bow and was more accurate. But the distance was shorter and it took a little longer to reload.

Novis stood out in front while Dan played it safe behind him. Novis would stand in front of the NPC knights and block out the shots from the crossbow user using his chain blade, while Dan would be busy dealing with the knights.

The top lane was a stalemate and the Woo Woo team were just waiting for one of them to make a mistake.

In the middle lane, Frank was up against the warrior Krang, the heavy hammer user. Slow in attacks but powerful. While Frank was using his shielded warrior. Frank was being extra cautious making sure he didn't get to close to Krang. Although Frank wasn't taking any damage being extra cautious, it came with a price.

Krang was able to finish off more Knights then Frank causing his knights to push back and reach the tower. All Frank could do was sit there and watch his tower crumble away.

Frank knew he had to do something. The man in front of him was clearly the better player but if he didn't take action their tower would be lost. Then the same would just happen again to the next tower, then finally they would lose the game with Woo Woo taking the flag.

Although it was a risky move. Frank decided to go in and attack once Krang had come into range with the tower.

Krang then quickly used his hammer spin to spin away and started heading back towards his own tower. This was Frank's chance, after the Spin skill had been used, the warrior Krang became slightly sluggish in movements.

Frank decided to charge in and drew his blade. Then he dashed forward and went with a stab. Suddenly from the right of the forest. An arrow came blasting out hitting Frank in the leg.

Krang turned around and Frank could see a smile on his face.

"This is going to be an easy win." The Woo Woo player said.

As he lifted his hammer and slammed it down onto Frank. Blue particles had split everywhere.

Frank was to used to playing with Hershel. If a player didn't see a warrior in their lane they would usually inform their teammate by saying missing but because Frank received no such thing, he assumed it was safe.

< Red team player has died >

The one person who had died on their team, was the only one who knew what he was doing.
