Chapter 8
-Drake Pov-
A scream rang through the air. A player was on fire and screaming despite the pain reduction. That acted like a bell would in a boxing match as all the players started attacking each other. Screams could be heard everywhere as player after player got betrayed by the very people they trusted. Drake immediately jumped backwards and took out his sword. He unlike most of the people present was hesitant of killing the other player despite it being a virtual reality game. He immediately looked around the group of players and decided to target people who were attacking other people.
The blades on his sword split apart and from the top of one of the blade a string made of mana extended downwards effectively forming a bow. He took a iron arrow and aimed for a mage that was chanting his spell. An arrow shot through the air that was when he activated blade conversion. The arrow slowly got surrounded by mana that took the form of a sword as flew pass people fighthing and pierced the mage through the chest.
Critical Hit
Bow mastery Beginner Lv1 (0%)
The mage fell on to his knee before being killed by another player smashing a mace to his head. Drake immediately activated blade control and made the blade that was lodged in the mage chest fly out of the mage body and into the man wielding a mace killing him instantly probably due to the fact he was already injured.

The battle raged on as fireballs, ice spears even a miniature tornado could be seen flying everywhere. Sounds of clashing blades also filled the air as many players refused to give up the chance to get a contract with the dragon.
-Cynthia POV-
Cynthia was looking at the scene from above and couldn’t get rid of the slight feeling of guilt for starting the battle royale. It was however the best choice she could think of at the time no matter how cruel it might seem. She continues to gaze at the battlefield.
-Drake POV-
Dodging a fireball drake immediately countered by shooting a power shot towards the player that attacked him. The player side stepped to avoid the shot. At closer inspection he realized the player who shot the fireball towards him was Selena. Drake immediately prepared himself when he saw her chanting another spell which was probably stronger than the last. He tried to see what she was going to throw at him neglecting his surrounding. The sound of a sword flying thorugh the air could suddenly be heard as Drake immediately turned around to see a sword flying towards him. He side stepped to avoid the sword. As he looked at the spot he had once stood on he noticed a magic circle there. The sword that pierced the ground he once stood at suddenly ignited and burned in flames. Didn’t take Drake too long to guess that the initial attack came from Selena as he turned and saw her disappointment that he dodged the attack. He quickly shot a arrow spiraling towards her. She countered by throwing a fireball destroying the arrow. Drake snapped his bow back to a blade as he dashed forward raising his shield up for defence.
Selena raised her staff into the air and smashed it into the ground. Didn’t take too long to see what she just did as the ground in front of her spewed out flames. Drake stopped his charge and did a roll to get to safety .
“Why don’t you just stay still and die for me so that I can take your weapon off your hands. “ Selena said to drake as she took her staff back out of the ground.
-Cynthia POV-
Demons suddenly spawned around Cynthia the ones that are capable of flight as they attempted to drag Cynthia into a huge portal which no doubt led to the demon world. The demons however were out of their league as Cynthia easily murdered them. A gargoyle like demon that was considerably big appeared next. Cynthia hit it to the ground with a flick of her tail.
-Drake POV-
Just as Selena just completed her sentence a huge object suddenly crashed from the sky on top of her. It was some kind of demon that looked like a gargoyle and it also looked lifeless with cracks covering its entire body. The number of player remaining dropped by one.
The players continued their battle as player after player feel from someone who used to be their comrade or a demon . Drake tried to keep his distance and snipe the players remaining with his power shot attack.
Eventually the number of player dwindled to a mere 10 players and all the ground demon has been killed. The airborn demons has also been slaughtered by Cynthia.
-Demon king POV-
“Sir unfortunetly we are now facing a shortage of troops and are unable to send anymore for the time being”
“How are we having a shortage of troops!?!!?!?! HOW”He shouted.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Most of our troops died in the coliseum and evenmore died when they were sent to the other world. Only 1 out of a thousand trops made it back”
“when do we have enough troops again.”
“Unfortunetly we need at least 5 months to replenish our lost troops”
“very well we shall wait till then but make sure you don’t lose track of where she is. I won’t let her escape”The demon king said the last line as his face broke into a rather insane looking smile.
-Cynthia POV-
Cynthia was still hovering in the air as she spectated the last few survivors fighting each other for the contract.
-Drake POV-
Drake observed the other players who seemed extremely exhausted. Drake however didn’t expended as much energy as they did since he was fighting by shooting arrows most of the time and if people got close he would finish them with his blade. Drake had managed to save his mana and he had another 250 mana left. He shot two arrows to 2 of the other players immediately activating blade conversion transforming both arrows into a sword as they landed on their target killing both instantly.He turned his bow back into a blade and stored it into its sheath. Drake activated blade control making both arrow swords fly again this time into his hand using it like a dual blade he charged at another player killing him with a quick slash at his waist with both swords.
Player remaining:2
The other surviving player was a mage who somehow managed to kill 5 players in a single spell which obviously took a lot of mana since he did nothing but throw fireballs at drake as soon as they turned their attention towards each other and Drake charged towards him. Drake threw a arrow sword at him which the mage managed to side step to get out of its way. Drake used his last 30 mp to control the balde for 3 seconds and made it chage course this time finding its target and piercing the mage.
Players remaining:1
-Cynthia POV-
Seeing the battle is finally over Cynthia made her descent as she landed on the ground causing a minor tremor in the vicinity.
“Congratulations mortal. You have proved yourself worthy to wield my power” Cynthia said as she still tried to make herself seem like a NPC.
Cynthia went up to Drake and activated Dragon Contract.
