Chapter 92: Fall Tower Fall

The fight between the Montem and Hershal down the middle lane was now going well for Montem.

Without the coordination from Frank, the Hershal team were a little rough when they were making their decisions. Not only that they needed to adjust some of their formations without having the fifth member there.

This was something that the Hershel team had never practised before, so they were trying their best as they played on. All these things put together made if much easier for the Montem team to now put up a good fight.

The problem was even though they were now fighting well, the Hershal team was also still doing well. It was practically a stalemate between the two teams. As time went on Novis was only getting more nervous about Frank who went to chase after Scarlett.

Although Alex had told Novis to stay, Novis couldn't help but feel like it was the wrong decision. Alex was sure though that if Novis left to go chase after Frank, he and Ashley wouldn't last very long against the Hershel team.

Their best chance at winning was to trust that Scarlett would be able to destroy the tower and capture the flag before Frank would reach her.

Novis couldn't wait any longer, he had made his decision, he was going to go chase after Frank. George could see that Novis had made up his mind but before Novis would leave, he asked him to relay a little bit of information to Ashley.

"Ashley," Novis said. "This is from George, concentrate on your breathing, relax breathe out with every strike. You're holding your breath for too long which is making you tire faster."

Then before running off Novis looked at Ashley.

"And this is from me, I'm counting on you."

Ashley didn't know what Novis meant by that but before she could even ask, Novis went off running after Frank. Alex wanted to shout out at Novis but knew he wouldn't listen anyway.

Novis entered the forest, so he was able to go around the Hershal team. The Hershel team had decided to leave Novis alone. Now that it was two against four, they believed they had a better chance of winning the game. All they needed to do was defeat the two people in front of them and capture the flag inside the castle.

The Hershel team went in for the attack thinking they could finish them off quickly but to their surprise, Ashley was now fighting even better than before. Her strikes were stronger and she seemed to be making fewer mistakes as if her mind was clear.

Ashley had taken George's advice and was imagining herself being back in her father's dojo. With the environment of the field and the multiple opponents, Ashley was panicking a little and she didn't even realise it. This was causing her to tire out far more quickly than she usually would.

Although Ashley was now fighting better it was still 4 vs 2 and Alex was nowhere near as skilled as Ashley. Alex had managed to avoid a sword strike by moving to the side but as he did another strike came at him stabbing him in the thigh.

Alex was temporarily stunned, although the pain was dramatically reduced in the game, to make it feel more realistic the game would try to predict how someone would react in real life. The wound was fatal so the Game temporarily stunned Alex.

Even though it was for a brief second, it was enough time for the second player to attack. Ashley could see Alex was in trouble but could also see an opening when the player attacked. She dashed forward striking the attacking player directly in the heart, causing him to burst into blue particles with one strike.

As she turned around though she could see the two players that she was facing had followed her and not only that but they had already taken out Alex.

Now it was a three VS one situation.

****

Novis was currently running as fast as he could to get to the tower but he had left a few minutes before Frank did. There was no way he would get there before Frank even if Novis was a fast runner. All he could do was hope that Scarlett would survive long enough for him to get there in time.

Scarlett was busy concentrating on taking down the second tower. Messages would constantly appear telling her of either the death of her or the enemy team's teammates but Scarlett chose to ignore them all. It would only make her lose focus and she currently only had one mission.

The second tower was heavily damaged as rubble was starting to fall off. This was a design from the game meaning the tower only had a little bit of health left before it would be destroyed. She continually fired arrow after arrow hoping any second now the tower would fall.

Then suddenly, she heard the clanking of metal armour running up from behind her. As she turned her head to glance over her shoulder, she could see Frank running at her.

Frank was running quite slow as he had his shield out in front of him. The weight of the shield and sword slowed him down but he knew it was best to keep his shield out especially against a ranged character.

Scarlett's natural instinct was to turn around and shoot an arrow at the enemy running in front of her but she knew it would be useless. Despite her urges, she carried on shooting at the tower.

"Is she not going to attack?"

Frank carried on charging forward and when he was in striking range he struck with his sword. Scarlett was carefully listening to Franks footsteps and as soon as she heard his feet stop, she activated her roll skill. Avoiding the strike and moving out of the way.

She took out her bow and shot another arrow at the tower ignoring Frank, no matter what happened to her, she was going to take down this tower.
