MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online
Chapter 112 112 Arena [Part 9]

The archer stood up and looked in the direction the Fireball came from, the spellcaster saw that the archer was no longer aiming at him and he moved forward and cast another fireball spell.

[00:00]

Before the archer could make another move his body shook, it vibrated like something was trying to push all his intestines out and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

Soon the eyes of the player changed into a bright red color and blood dripped down his mouth.

*Boom*

The player's body burst into flames eliminating the player immediately, a black stain was marked where the player was and the barrier was reduced by a tiny bit invisible to the eyes of the players.

[00:20]

A huge green timer appeared again but this time it landed on the person closest to Alex, all the players immediately turned in that direction and ran away from the timer.

The timer landed on a knight this time and he ran with all his speed toward Alex before he could react, but it was a lost cause.

Alex was more agile than the knights and he sprinted forward away from the reach of the knight.

A metallic object touched Alex and immediately the green timer appeared on his head, the time was now [00:13]. The knight risked his only weapon for the sake of touching Alex and now he had no choice but to run.

Alex stopped and turned around to chase the knight but then he couldn't move, all the players were already running away so Alex's only option was to chase the knight but he couldn't.

"Go after that slim dude with the red hair, he's the slowest here" the voice spoke again in Alex's ears and his eyes immediately wandered to the slim guy running away.

Alex didn't know when he turned around and dashed towards the slim player, all the players around broke away from the player and from that Alex could see he was really slow.

[RedBull]

[Level 16]

RedBull was a brawler who fight using his fists but he make a hectic mistake that he must pay for now, his agility was only 15 while the rest of his stat points were used in strength.

So he was stronger than Alex but not faster than him and he didn't have a weapon on him or anything he could throw. The player ran as fast as his legs could carry him but it wasn't enough as a green timer appeared on his head.

He stopped and turned around while stretching his hands but Alex was already out of his reach, the player ran after Alex but it was fruitless and he knew so he stopped.

"R-Reaper right... I'm going to come for you" the player shouted as his breathing was ragged due to his running.

He sat on the door breathing heavily as the timer turned one, none of the players were close to him so all he could do was lose.

[00:01]

*Boom*

This time the blast didn't waste even a second, as soon as the timer turned zero the player exploded immediately and the barrier was reduced again by a tiny fraction.

All the players immediately went into an alarm mode as they stare at everyone searching for the next victim, the knight had retrieved his sword as Alex went for the red head boy, though he had no idea why.

'That voice is still speaking in my head, and for some reason I tend to follow what it says, though it's always correct but I wonder what is talking to me, maybe it's just my inner voice' Alex thought.

The timer appeared and this time it appeared far away from Alex on the head of a dark mage. In the arena only fighter class players and few ranged class players registered because they know it's going to be a tough battle.

All low-level mages had the same spell, fireball, when the leave melmond city for another bigger city then they can learn more advanced spells.

As the players ran away from the mage or tried to dodge his fireball, Alex had another plan, if this continues all the remaining players would end up being killed by the timer and none of them would gain XP for the kill.

Alex first target was he knight that touched him, the knight was moving away as the mage was drawing closer, Alex narrowed his gaze as he focused on the knight, his head was cleared and his breathing was calm, it felt like he was in a battlefield with only two players.

"Focus on the target alone, abandon all unnecessary players, focus on killing one bastard at a time" the voice whispered with an eerie tone.

Alex did as the voice spoke and immediately he felt like he was losing himself, he felt like he was falling from a very far height and then his eyes opened widely.

"Finally, I gained control" the voice spoke.

With a burst of explosive speed Alex dashed towards the knight like he was the one with his timer, his face curve in a smile as he chased after the knight.

Other players thought he was just running away from the timer even the knight thought so too till Alex got too close, immediately he lifted his sword towards Alex and stand his ground.

He was sure he could go again Alex one on one, Alex face was brimming with excitement as he looked at the knight, other players around quickly moved away as they saw him, he was like a serial killing targeting his next victim.

"You bastard, what are you doing" the knight shouted.

"What am I doing, I'm a predator hunting a prey," Alex said as he chuckled mischievously.

Immediately he charged toward the knight, the knight one the other hand wasn't going to take his chances with a maniac charging toward him. The knight took a step forward as Alex was in range and swung his sword with all the strength he could muster making it faster than ever.

Alex was already in the knight's range and the knight slashed his sword at Alex's stomach so he wouldn't be able to dodge, Alex was the one charging so he couldn't stop and jumped backward.

"Got you crazy bastard" the knight smiled as the sword was just inches away from Alex's stomach.

"You underestimate us" Alex shouted as he leaped upward.

The agility and reflexes that Alex displayed were breath taking, unbelievable and near impossible, before the sword could reach him Alex leaped upward enough for the sword to pass under of his legs.

Alex stretched his right leg midair and as he came down his leg hit the knight's shoulder bringing both of them down, the knight lay face flat on the ground while Alex used his hands to support his landing.

The crowd once again had shifted their gaze from the timer to Alex's battle, the players around couldn't believe what they saw as it was impossible, what Alex did wasn't supposed to be possible except with the help of a skill which they know he didn't have.

Both of Alex's daggers were still with him and before the knight could regain his composure he felt two sharp pain that made him lose consciousness.

Alex pierced both of his daggers into the ears of the knight, he removed the daggers and went again till the player turned into pixel and faded away.

A huge smirk spread on Alex's face as he turned around, one of the player had exploded and the timer was now selecting another player to choose.

[00:20]

The timer landed on Alex's head and he looked upward to check, with every passing seconds the timer would remind the player of the time, Alex smiled and looked forward.

All the players were running away from Alex especially the knights and swordsmen, Alex bent his knees like he was a player preparing for a race.

"This is so fun, this is so fun...I can't wait to have more fun" Alex laughed as he dashed forward.

Usually players strive to touch other players so they can get the timer off them but it was different for Alex, he was going for the kill.

[Niko]

[Level 30]

"You bastard, I'm going to end you now" Niko mumbled as he aimed at Alex.
