《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 127: No rival of mine
Advertisement
Inside one of Goldware corp's IT rooms, there was currently a room filled with around fifty employees. Each one would be monitoring a match that they deemed as suspicious.
"Hey Tom, I think we have something going on in the Berkshire tournament." An employee said.
"Berkshire tournament, isn't that where Novis is?" Tom said, "Display the match on the big screen and rewind it a few and show me what you found."
Just then on the large monitor at the back of the room, it was now displaying the match between Westgate and Eastwood. Then it had just shown what Mortem had done to do NPC knights in the game.
"What, how is that possible?" An employee said, "Is it a bug in the game?"
"No, I think we have found ourselves a spirit." Tom said, "Check who's playing right now."
"It's Lucas bell."
As soon as Tom heard the name he nearly stumbled back and fell over.
"If Justin found out he'll kill us, what do we do now?" Tom thought.
*****
Inside the match, Luke had just witnessed the devastating massacre that Lucas had performed.
"This is not possible, it's inhuman not even the pros can do something like this."
Then it seemed like Luke had lost all reasoning, he no longer felt like he was in a game but instead, he now felt fear. He dropped his sword and turned his back running towards his tower, his instinct was telling him he wanted to live. But before Luke had even taken a few steps, he heard a voice whisper into his ear.
"Where do you think you're going?" Mortem said.
And the next second Lucas head had been sliced off and burst into blue particles.
"Now this is kinda fun, but it's a shame there is no blood."

"What the hell, how did Lucas get so much better!" Novis shouted, "That's impossible, there's no way I can compete with that."
The others hearing Novis's words felt the same way. What they had just witnessed, no matter what kind of strategy they had come up with, they couldn't face against something like this. However, Arthur decided to keep what he had learnt a secret from Novis.
"Shouldn't we tell the boy?" George asked.
"No, we need to wait and see how Novis reacts, perhaps now that he thinks Lucas is so far ahead it will be another turning point for him in his training. If it doesn't have a positive impact and the boy gets disheartened, then we can tell him."
The fight inside the game continued, with Mortem know exploring around the map, she first headed to the top lane, where the other players were locked in combat.
"Lucas fall back, we can handle this ourselves." The Westgate players said but Mortem ignored their words and instead went forward and attacked his own players.
"What the hell are you doing, we're on the same team!" The Westgate player shouted.
Then Mortem started to break out into a laugh,
"I only work for one group and that's not you." She said.
Then the two East wood players charged forward, using her scythe she hooked on of her own players by the shoulder and dragged him in front of the opponent's blow. The Westgate player burst into blue particles and at the same time, she swung her scythe dealing with the East wood player.
Now that the remaining Westgate player knew Lucas was serious about attacking them, he decided to change his target to Lucas.
The crowd watching from outside was just wondering what the hell was happening in this crazy game.

"Is Lucas just trying to show off?"
"I never thought he was this type of person, wasn't he shy and well mannered."
"But look he's really taking on all four of them."
With the remaining two players charging at her, Mortem grabbed her Scythe and swung just at the right time, slicing both of their bodies in half from the waist.
"Too easy, now I'm getting bored." But just as Mortem said that the game had ended as the two Westgate players at bottom had managed to deal with the two Eastwood players.
After watching the event live, the crowd could only remember how easily Lucas had dealt with the enemy and his own teammates. With the scythe, it was like they were witnessing a grim reaper harvesting souls and nothing was going to get in his way.
As soon as the two teams exited from the pods. The two Westgate teammates that had been killed came rushing over to Lucas.
"Hey what the hell was that for! I know your meant to be some pro's son but that doesn't mean you can do what you want." As the player walked up to Lucas, he tried grabbing his collar but before he even could. Mortem grabbed the boy's wrist and twisted him holding him to the ground.
"Don't touch me with your filthy hands, understand." Mortem said, the boy nodded in response, "Good because next time it won't just be in the game." Mortem whispered to the boy.
After letting the boy go, Mortem naturally waved to the crowd and in response, they started to cheer.
"Just like my own world, no matter how I act, the strong get this type of response." She said.
And what she said was true. The crowd was more excited than ever after witnessing Lucas's display of dominance. He had defeated four players at once and it was quite clear to them, he could have dealt with anyone on either side of the team.
Josh and Cindy who were currently doing their live broadcast, rushed to the arena floor to do an interview.
"That was an amazing game that we just witnessed but we have come down here to ask one question mainly. After winning this match all our online viewers are going crazy about the semi-final game next week. Where you will face off against your old Rival Novis." Cindy asked.
Then the expression on Mortem's face changed.
"Rival? did you not just see my power, on this planet, there is no rival that can face me."

The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE
"Herald City. A great American metropolis, with gleaming towers and bustling streets. Never before has there been a safer place to live and work, because the citizens know that when disaster strikes, they can count on the protection of BLUE EAGLE. Blue Eagle--also known as David Dufraine--was born with incredible strength, powerful eyebeams, superhuman senses, and the amazing ability of flight. Possessing a strong sense of justice, he seeks to protect the city from criminals who prey on the innocent. Having taught these values to his son Jack, who possesses similar abilities, they protect Herald City as Blue Eagle and Switch the Blue Eaglet! Together, the Father-Son Duo wages a war on crazy criminals and notorious ne'er-do-wells, including the powerful perverter of plant life, QUEEN VENUS. These are the adventures of BLUE EAGLE and SWITCH THE BLUE EAGLET." Welcome, everybody! This superhero adventure is a nostalgic return to the good ol' days of the Filmation and Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoons of the 1960s and 70s. With Super Friends, The Adventures of Super Boy, and The Adventures of Batman and The New Adventures of Batman as inspiration, I hope to take you back to the olden days of wacky stories jam-packed with superhero action and excitement! This is actually a leadup of a much larger project I'm working on (which will be played straight, have a darker and more serious tone, and will be a multi-season serialized epic). I've been itching to publish something with my characters for some time, and this 8 episode miniseries just scratches that itch. So while my main series is being written, I hope you find some enjoyment in some good old fashioned superhero fun.
