"Mia! You really want that dog?"
"Yes! He's so cute!"
Mia was the spoiled woman who had been bluntly rejected by Jake. She was his age and was spoiled ever since she could rember. It began with her parents doting on her too much. She didn't even have to try to beco popular at school, as smiling and talking was enough to attract everyone to her side.
The male player trying to get her favor was called Ronan.
Everyone knew his feelings toward Mia, so no one bothered to vie for her hand and instead enjoyed her presence, as she was adorable and voluptuous for her age.
She didn't even know that it was not her smile that attracted her male friends but her chest.
That was her cutest side.
"Leave it to ! Let's hunt down that guy and take his pets! He's a beast tar, so we can easily snatch those pets and get them on our side with snacks! This dog surely will like the raw at we've hunted!" Ronan exclaid, his eyes flaring with conviction.
His friends sighed with hopeless smiles.
That said, they were ready to assist him.
"That guy is an archer, right? Easy peasy!"
"Archers are so weak that we can cut through his arrows!"
"Right? Like, what kind of skills even archers have?"
While common skills of every main class and their combinations were known at the scene, not so much was revealed about archers. Of course, the statues had passed skills to anyone who wanted to pick up a bow, but because the class was so unpopular, the group of friends didn't know what to expect from Jake.
That said, they were convinced of their win against him.
He was alone and had the weakest class.
What could go wrong?
"Thank you so much, Ronan, everyone!" Mia smiled brightly at her friends and clenched her hands to support them, "I know you can do it! The cute doggo deserves more than this guy! How could he na him Odin! Pupu is a much better na for him!"
The male players and even the female one twitched upon hearing the na Mia wanted to use for Odin.
Ronan was compelled to agree, "Y-Yeah! Pupu sounds so good!"
The other friend barely stifled his laughter.
The rest hid their faces in their equipnt.
At last, Ronan spoke to his friends, "Pat, can you track this guy?"
Pat, the player with a main class thief, nodded, "Ye, he shouldn't have covered his tracks yet. I expected you to want to kill him, so I watched where he headed off."
Ronan sneered, "Thanks man!"
The group quickly got to work. Everyone followed their thief friend's back as he tracked Jake's steps. He was level twenty, the second highest of their group, so his skills and experience were more than enough to find the careless level fourteen archer.
Around five minutes later, everyone could see Jake's back.
The group's nicknas beca exposed and red as the player-killing system was activated.
That was when an adorable screech rang out from above them.
-
'So behind us,' Jake hid behind a tree's back.
The adorable screech which echoed from the south belonged to Ender. Jake had told him to take over the skies and watch out for anyone with red nicknas close to them.
The red nickna in The Legend Enigma Online ant the player had turned on their player-killing system. This system allowed players to hunt each other and get rewards for it.
The main reward was experience points.
Of course, it was possible to kill each other without the player-killing system. There wouldn't be any reward, and the player would only drop one item upon death as though he died to a monster instead.
It was foolish to kill people in this way because players would get flagged as player killers anyway, regardless of whether the player-killing system was turned on or not.
'Fine. I will correct you guys. You'll never spoil anyone in your lives,' Jake narrowed his eyes.
He'd already seen that the group of players with a spoiled woman was on his tail. Those guys had turned their player-killing systems to kill him and snatch Odin—Jake didn't doubt it.
'If I am correct, they have a tank, a swordsman, a thief, two mages, and a healer… the spoiled woman is a mage,' Jake's lips curved into a sneer.
He put his Joker Mask on. The black material beca one with his face, highlighting a cruel, devilish smile from nightmares.
Jake dipped into the bushes of the forest.
anwhile, Pat notified Ronan that Jake had disappeared from his view.
"How?" Ronan asked, stupefied.
Pat bit his lower lip, "Either he noticed sothing or us… I will find him! Watch out for my pins on the minimap!"
Before Pat could step into the shadows, however, a whistle breezed past his ear.
It was such a loud whistle that everyone heard it.
A mont later, a thud followed it.
Ronan and others stood with their eyes widened.
[Pink Pupa has been killed by an unknown player.]
Everyone turned around and saw the headless body of their friend lying in a pool of blood.
Her head was beside it.
Her eyes were still rrily opened, but her mouth was stuffed with an arrow! It was such a horrifying sight that Ronan and others could no longer see Mia the sa way. Each ti they would look at her, they would see this frightening combination of her adorable eyes and lodged arrow in her mouth, all on her decapitated head!
"Protect Alice! You know where he's shooting from!" Pat shouted at his friends, his face white.
Alice was their healer. She was so disoriented and scared that she couldn't move. She had never seen soone die so fast and in such a way! It wasn't magic that had devoured Mia or a swordsman that had co close to them to sever her head.
She just died.
She suffered death from the abyss!
She wasn't even given a chance to understand the pain!
Alice wasn't spared from that, too.
From a much different angle, the second arrow flew in and yanked her head off her neck.
Pat scread aloud, "A different angle?! Across ?! What is he?! A monkey?!"
Ronan scread at him, "What angle?! The hell you talking about?!"
Another friend chid in, his voice shaking, "I am the last mage, the last best offense of this team! You'd better protect ! I don't care what angle he's attacking us from! You must protect ! Tell where he is, and I will obliterate him! Just keep alive!"
Pat ignored those pleas and replied to Ronan, "We're in the middle of the forest! He can't shoot at us from anywhere he wants! He must find a perfect angle unless his arrows can bend! I don't know what kind of skill he uses or what he has! I never fought an archer, for god's sake!"
Ronan scread, "You think I have?!"
The tank grunted, "It should be damn easy anyway! Look out for a clear path! He can't be shooting from too far away!"
That was when…
[Heaven-Defying Mage has been killed by an unknown player.]
The second mage died.
It happened so fast that the thief was still at the scene.
He saw three of his friends lying headless, their bodies yet to be turned into particles.
His heart sank into a cold lake, and so did his friends.
Jake's steps then rang out from Ronan's front.
"He's here!" Ronan shouted, only to have the rest of his words wedged in his throat.
He was the first victim of Jake's Joker Mask.
A cold sweat washed over his back.
