"Haha, so you went through all that to chase three players while I blindly ran through doors and managed to find the center."
Zack couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that Emma had to work hard to pass the first round while all he did was run around due to the noise of soone dashing close to him.
Perhaps having balanced stats and a reincarnated person's luck did carry him quite far.
"Hey, don't rub it in my face..." Emma pouted before the two of them waited for the second round to begin.
After two hours of sitting around while looking at more players arriving, Zack and Emma were extrely bored.
And that's when Johnny decided to make his appearance.
"Currently, there are five hundred thousand players here. Yes, the millions of players were reduced to you lot." He said with a smile as his gaze flickered over a few players.
"Anyways, the second round of the event is a ga of tag. Yes, you'll have to run around even more. In this mode, there will be a single tag player, and whoever he or she touches will get eliminated.
After the chaser has managed to tag 2 people, or if the chaser manages to tag 2 people, soone else will take the chaser role. However, if the chair fails to catch soone in the given ti of 1 minute, they will be eliminated."
After explaining the ga, a screen appeared in front of the players which showed how the ga had to be played.
It looked pretty simple to them yet Johnny wasn't going to let them go without a twist.
"All movent skills are allowed for this round and do keep in mind that only a single person will advance out of the 12 people who will play this ga together."
After explaining the remaining details, Johnny snapped his fingers, and pillars of light started appearing around the players.
"And this ti, all gas will go simultaneously," Johnny added with a smile as thousands of pillars of light started appearing around the players.
Both Zack and Emma imdiately closed their eyes as the pillars soon started getting blinding. This ant that those who had watched a few more than normal, they were blinded for so ti.
[[ See you soon. ]]
Both Zack and Emma sent the sa ssage before they disappeared.
***
[ You have been chosen as the chaser. ]
This ti, Zack was not going to be the one being chased. He was going to be the chaser.
'Looks like my first skill has co a long way of helping . I wonder if I can use my other skills for movent too.'
Zack saw that all the players were standing a few ters away from him. A tir was visible above their heads which only he could see.
The environnt for the ga was a plain open field without any place to hide.
The players would have to keep running if they wanted to protect themselves from dying.
[ 3... 2... 1... Run! ]
The players started running in all directions with the sole goal of staying away from Zack.
The latter however still couldn't move as a ten-second tir ticked above his head.
The ga didn't have any perks or disadvantages for the chaser which ant that he could tag multiple people at once.
None of the players were stupid enough to run beside each other. It was not just because they feared Zack but also because they didn't trust their fellow players.
Every single one of them was afraid that they might get backstabbed and thrown to the ground.
In tag, the one who fell to the ground would always, and no one wanted to be that person.
As soon as the tir fell down to zero, a smile appeared on Zack's face.
He dashed forward towards the slowest person who likely decided to pool all the points towards a certain stat.
"Swift Lightning," Zack muttered under his breath as he shot forward at the speed of Lightning.
The person being chased realized that sothing was wrong as he turned back to see Jason's hand touching his shoulder.
A pillar of light descended on his body before he vanished from the field. Now that Jason's skill was on cooldown, there was only one skill that he could use.
Zack pointed both of his hands backward before closing using water. As the wave of water shot out of his fingers, Zack was propelled forward and started catching up to the second player.
"Earth walk!" However, the player had a trick up his sleeve too as he subrged under the earth. Zack could see the tir running on the player's head which said only thirty seconds were left for him to capture a player.
'Well, I can still use one last skill.' Zack had no idea whether his skill would work or not but he didn't have a whole lot of options.
He kept both of his hands backward and activated blue flas. Unlike water gun, which had propelled him forward, his flas gave him a speed boost.
However, he had to make sure that he didn't hurt a player. Only twenty seconds remained which ant Zack was getting dangerously close to being eliminated.
However, the blue flas skill didn't have a cooldown or a ti limit. So technically, it was the best skill to have for the entire round.
After choosing a target, Zack started homing in on her. The female player however had a skill to help her too.
She waited until Zack was only a few feet away from her and activated her skill.
"Swift lightning!" It was the sa skill Zack had first used. Unfortunately, the skill only worked for a few seconds whereas his skill was permanent.
[ A new chaser will now be chosen. ]
Suddenly, all players were forced to stand still as a red dot appeared above their heads. Out of the twelve people, only ten remained.
[ A new chaser has been chosen. ]
The dot stopped on top of a male tank who looked at the other players with a grim expression.
He was the tallest and buffest of the bunch and had no hopes of catching the smaller players.
'Well, looks like I won this ga the mont it started.' Zack thought with a smile as the ga of tag continued on.
