“Hold on, just for future reference. Which Otomech is Lian’s? And which is Odin’s?”

“The Otomech with the fan as a weapon is Lian’s and the other is Odin’s.”

“Alright.”

“WAIT!”

Sheena jumped down from the turret. She ran up to Scarlett.

“Can I get your autograph?”

“Y-yeah sure...”

Sheena was obviously fangirling over Scarlett. After signing Sheena’s thing, Scarlett waved and headed off.

“I didn’t know you were a Scarlett fan.”

“Of course! Who isn’t? She’s pretty much a rockstar.”

I shook my head in disbelief.

I saw the other players get into their Otomechs. The one that really got my attention was the last Otomech standing near the edge. It dual wielded two massive glaives. That one must be Odin’s. Scarlett and Odin went into battle. Jack and Lian stayed behind. Lian flew straight up into the air. It seemed like he was commanding the other 150 Otomechs that were in battle.

Scarlett and Odin were impressive. Scarlett shot massive cannon balls that crushed any dragon that was in its way. What was impressive was how mobile she was with such a huge weapon. She danced around in the air elegantly like it was a ballet recital. What seemed like an endless amount of dragons, were being mowed down by Scarlett single handedly.

Odin, on the other hand, was heading straight for Verodith. With Odin’s first strike, I could see Verodith’s health bar go down one percent. Verodith also sustained a bleed effect which caused it to continuously lose health over time. Verodith started attacking Odin, but was stunned momentarily by Jack’s shot. Jack was able to land two shots directly into both Verodith’s eyes.

Odin and Jack continued attacking together in perfect harmony.

Everytime Odin damaged Verodith and it began retaliating, Jack was there to blind and stun it. The synergy that these two had were incredible. Even though Odin and Verodith were constantly moving around, Jack was able to successfully land all his shots without even hitting Odin.

“This level of play is insane.”

On the other front, I saw the other Otomechs taking out the dragons with ease under the command of Lian. It almost looked like a shepherd herding sheep.

As the Otomechs kept taking out the dragons, I saw that every time a dragon was killed it was dropping items.

“AHA, it’s time to go treasure hunting!”

“Huh? W-WAHH!”

I turned on the vehicle and stormed into the battlefield again.

As the battle was getting heated in the air, I was doing my own battles down below. I scavenged the ground to see if there were any good drops. I collected the dragon scales, claws, fangs and wings.

“Maybe these will sell for a lot.”

Sheena overheard me.

“Didn’t you say, you weren’t in this for the money?”

“After seeing what I’m up against, I need to save up as much as possible now so that I can compete with them.”

“Hohhh...dreams are a wonderful thing.”

“Yeah...wait was that an insult?”

“Rama! Look something is shining over there.”

I drove over and saw that it was a dragon’s eye.

“Nice going. Pick some up too Sheena, we’ll split the profits.”

Her eyes sparkled. We started collecting the drops pretty efficiently. As we looted, the sky started to clear up from the death of all those dragons.

Forty-five minutes have passed since the start of the event.

All that was left with Verodith.

The rest of the Otomechs stood and watched Odin attack Verodith this was because the player to land the last hit gets the kill credit and the legendary one of a kind drop. Even Jack was being stopped by Lian.

Verodith’s health bar finally reached ‘critical health’. When bosses in the game reached ‘critical health’, they become much harder to kill because they get an increase in stats and gain new skills.

It didn’t seem like Odin wasn’t phased by Verodith’s changes. He kept attacking calmly, even increasing his attack swing speeds, hitting all the of Verodith’s weak points while hiding in its blindspots.

“AHHH, I want to get in this action. I want to shoot!”

I climbed onto the turret.

“Sheena let me take a shot.”

“What, why?”

“Come on just let me, I didn’t get a chance to.”

“But isn’t it dangerous to shoot it now? What if you hit Odin or something.”

“One shot won’t hurt. It’s not like this turret does any damage.”

“Okay okay, just let me move.”

“Hey thanks, yeah, just move over there, watch your step.”

“Hey watch it!”

“Ah don’t push!”

A familiar sensation ran through my body.

The World Event has been cleared in 48 minutes and 17 seconds Verodith has been slain by Rama
