All the players in Moonlight Wetland were left on edge after First Blood was taken.
They had considered running at the sight of Close; after all, the early stage of the game was to scale and farm up. The Great Demon King had a bonus ability, gold and experience from claiming First Blood – if they didn’t run, wouldn’t they just be left waiting to be devoured!
But their evasiveness instead created openings for Close.
A hundred player free-for-all did allow for alliances to be formed, but there was no system protection in place. It would be hard to determine who remained standing in the end, but if everyone focused their abilities on one person, ten lives would not be enough for the Great Demon King. SZTmdh
Unfortunately, everyone could only think of hiding away, remaining cautious and levelling up.
Lu Feng knew that, so, relying on his superior economy and level, he seized the opportunity to launch an offensive.
Apart from First Blood which was announced in the global channel, other kills were announced in the local channel for those within the same zone. Therefore, even if the players at Moonlight Wetland could not see Close, they could follow him through the endless kills that he was racking up.
That kind of kill count? 7c2Ifv
That amount of EXP and resources?
Fight? As if. They had to swiftly break into the central zone; it was impossible to remain in the Moonlight Wetland anymore!
They weren’t wrong. Close was oppressing the entire Zone A. He had enough ability points to start building a second talent, whereas other players weren’t even through with their first one. Rather than a 1v1, it was actually a 2v1 – and two of Close at that. There was no way they stood a chance.
It wasn’t against the rules, of course; whether it was the Glory Rift or the Sky Island of Light, one had to farm. P4HhAL
All of them had landed upon a level 0 battleground, yet where his opponents were at level 4, Close had already hit level 7. This, in and of itself, reflected a player’s skill.
Picking up items could be passed off as a stroke of luck.
Cleanly seizing First Blood and accumulating power with kills to get to where he was now just went to show that Close’s strength was out of the world!
That he had yet to use the bonus ability conferred by taking First Blood was him ‘going easy’ on the players in the Moonlight Wetland. q5HgXS
Brother Big Mouth couldn’t hold back his praise, gushing in great detail about how exactly Close had done this-and-that to execute this string of kills. He finally concluded that “Close is amazing!”
On the other hand, the glib-tongued Wei Xiao was smiling calmly and unable to hide the delight in his eyes. The reserved act that he was putting on was one that only he could pull off and remain so likeable.
“Chill…” Wei Xiao puffed up. “That’s nothing special for my captain.”
Brother Big Mouth: “…………” REPkjg
The viewers: “…………”
Likeable, my ass. He was clearly baiting a long queue of people for a fight!
Despite passing it off as nothing special, when he finally got the chance to speak, he started deep diving into the minutiae of exactly how Close had managed to gloriously attain this string of ten kills.
His praise was even nicer to the ears than Brother Big Mouth and spoken in even more detail. His talking speed was not too fast, with every word enunciated clearly. Quiet’s slow and detailed analysis was a stark contrast to the visuals of Close’s bloody massacre, yet formed an unexpectedly harmonious picture. 4dmsZQ
However, the sheer size of Moonlight Wetland left Close roaming the map after he had cleared out the players in the surrounding area. The observer could finally give some screen time to the other zones.
Each of the outer zones had at least one fearsome player. While they might not have crushed everyone as badly as Close had, they still made for an action-packed show.
Over in Zone B, Battlesong Plains, was Kim Sung-hyun and Moonlit.
