Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Kill Steal

When Lin Mu spotted a masked Leo running around in an easily spottable commoner clothing that wasn’t even black, she could almost not contain her laughter as she coughed twice trying to hold it in.

She knew it was Jin Mu because his mask and body type were distinct and also because he looked like the only one who was completely unsure of where to hide and what to do.

‘Yep, definitely the black sheep of the Mu family’ Lin Mu thought as she believed that there was no way that Jin Mu was going to advance to round three and that sooner or later he was definitely going to get caught.

Although Leo did not know it, him acting like a fool played better for his cover as the retarded young master of the Mu clan, as the original Jin Mu was famous for being a good for nothing.

If he had suddenly become excellent after being absent from the family, then questions about his identity would have raised in Lin Mu’s heart, however, seeing him behave like a fool, she felt more inclined to accept his story.

Just like herself, Leo too circled back to the starting point from where the rabbits were going to be released, however, unlike her he did not seem to plan on hunting them using a bow and arrow, but was rather holding a dagger as if he was going to kill the unleashed rabbits by hand.

‘Only a fool tries to kill a rabbit with their hands, they are agile and hard to catch, it’s always better to shoot them dead’ thought Lin Mu as she stopped paying attention to Jin Mu and instead took aim at the spot where she expected the rabbits to first show up when released.

Just like her, many other assassins noticed Leo in his ridiculous layman clothing holding a dagger as everyone had the same question in their mind as to what the fuck was he doing?

He wasn’t wearing the proper attire.

And to top it all off, he was trying to hunt probably the swiftest species of rabbits by using a dagger, while being on the hideout against tracking dogs.

Everyone failed to understand his strategy as they underestimated him, however, oddly, they could not take their eyes off him either as there was something about his uncanny smile that made them feel like he was up to something.

Rightly so, Leo was indeed upto mischief as while these other assassins might not think like a player, he did!

He did not have access to a bow and arrow, nor did he have the skill needed to aim and shoot it towards a moving target, so all he could do was rely on his daggers.

However, his real plan was not to kill the rabbits at all, but to rather use a notorious player technique only known to shameless gamers!

*SNAP*

Exactly at the five minute mark, the rabbits gates were opened and the rabbits began running in all directions into the testing arena.

The second the crossed the starting line, arrows began to rain down on them as a select few hit the target while most of them missed.

The rabbits were indeed agile and most of them did manage to evade the incoming arrows with incredible reflexes, however, there were a few that fell to the assault who writhed in pain and began slowly bleeding to their deaths.

A total of 7 rabbits were shot dead on the floor and there were at least 14 assassins in hidden locations who were contesting for the kill.

However, while the rules of the contest did specify that one had to kill at least 3 rabbits, they said nothing about kill stealing as although Leo killed none of the rabbits, he took a quick look at the tracking dogs and having ascertained that they were still far away, he was the first one who made a dash for the kills.

1..2…3…4…

*Shua*

*Shua*

*Shua*

5…6… 7!

Kill steal!

It was a common practice in MMORPG games back on earth and while it was the archers who shot down the rabbits and immobilized them, it was Leo who went in for the kill using his dagger as he stabbed them all dead before they could die a natural death by bleeding.

Mid-way through his killing spree, the other assassins understood what he was upto and began shooting arrows towards him. However, Leo rolled over and dodged the incoming arrows with incredible athleticism as before most could reload and get a grasp of the situation, Leo had already completed the job and had hid behind a large rock!

“Fuck…. Is that even legal?”

” Hey, hey hey, It’s clearly me who shot it down, do I get no claim over this kill?”

“How fucking shameless? I’ll kill you bastard first”

Leo caused an outrage amongst the other assassins, however, the judges ruled in his favor as under his number beneath the judges panel, a remarkable ‘7’ could be seen confirming his kill points.

“Booyah” Leo said to himself as he could clearly still feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins at achieving this crazy feat.

While the other assassins stayed hidden, he took a gamble and cheap shot every last one of them, reaping all the rewards in return.

‘ HAHAHA-‘ Lin Mu laughed in her head as she could have never anticipated this move.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that someone would run into the open, between a field of assassin’s holding arrows and have the guts to steal their kills as for a second she was as stupefied as the others.

When Leo came out and ran towards the rabbits, even Lin Mu felt puzzled with what he was aiming for, however, it wasn’t until he began plunging daggers in their writhing bodies did she understand his motive.

By the time she knocked an arrow, he had already killed 4 and somehow Lin Mu felt merciful towards him, which is why instead of shooting him down, she helped him by shooting her arrow towards the nearby assassin who had a clear shot on Leo.

Messing up his aim, she helped Leo as much as she could, however, he still had to face a flurry of arrows for his brazenness.

He dodged a few, while some were poor in aim, however, miraculously he killed all the 7 shot down rabbits and managed to escape without a single arrow plunged into his back as Lin Mu suddenly felt a tinge of respect forming in her heart for Jin Mu.

The judges confirmed his kills, and Lin Mu could not be happier, however, she also understood that Jin Mu had dug a hole for himself by stealing everyone’s kills.

The others were already taking positions to shoot him down as Lin Mu could see how her distant cousin was going to have a big problem at his hands.

“Let’s see you get out of this problem” she murmured with a smile on her face, as just when she thought that Jin Mu was done for, he pulled off something unexpected once again.
