《BR: Collection of Short Stories》Story 12: Isekai Battle Royale Chapter 6: Ice vs Lightning.
Advertisement
Edith arrived at the town. He landed on a branch and opened his stat window to look at his inventory.
The item he got from the mole rat was the book of agility. The book allowed him to increase his speed for a short amount of time. He pulled out the book from his inventory.
Hopefully, this plan work.
Edith opened the book, a gust of wind and intense light engulfed and blinded him. The book was no longer there on his hand when he opened his eyes. He turned to his stat window and his agility was increased by ten folds.
He transformed into a mole rat and began digging underneath him. It didn’t take him long to create multiple deep holes around the town.
After he finished, he waited for the players to come near the hole. One by one, the players fell to the hole and into their deaths.
The numbers of players began to dwindle. After some time, it slowed, and he checked on the number of players left. There was twenty-five of them.
Edith dug up and turned into a bird. He flew around the area and found a player who was moving carefully toward a building. Edith moved behind him, changed into a snake and bit him.
The player cried in pain. Out of nowhere, a magical missile went through his head. His body burst into bits of light and dropped several items.
Shit! who the fuck was that?
Edith didn't check on the item. He hid in a small hole and peered through the hole. Then, a woman came up, and he shrieked in fear of her.
The woman was Claire. Edith held his breath and moved behind a bit. Claire scanned her surroundings before collecting the item on the ground.
“Who's there?”

Did she know?
“Come out, now!”
She hasn't spotted me yet.
Claire sighed and shook her head, “Maybe, I'm being paranoid.”
She walked away from the area. Edith exited the hole and let out a heavy sigh.
That was close. He turned to the direction of where Claire had disappeared. She must have some weaknesses.
Edith transformed into a bird and followed her. He found Claire hid behind a wall.
She scanned her surrounding before moving to another wall, then another. When she hid behind another, a player passed her without knowing she was there.
Claire sneaked behind him and formed an ice dagger on her right hand. Then, she lunged it on the player's side.
The player tried to let out a scream, but Claire covered his mouth with her hand. His body glowed, burst into tiny lights and left several items on the ground.
Before Claire could collect them, several fireballs headed straight to her.
She jumped away, and the fireballs destroyed the items that were hovering above the ground.
The man appeared and tried to fire a lightning arrow at her. Claire titled her head to the left and avoided the attack.
The lightning arrow went straight to a tall building and the lower half of the building. The building fell to the ground, and a cloud of dust covered the air.
Edith coughed and descended to the ground. He transformed into a mole rat and dug underneath him.
After some time, he dug himself out, and a player ran past him. Then, the player got struck by lightning in his back, and he disappeared into tiny lights.
Edith scanned his surroundings and found the player stood on top of a building. A large ice spear crashed into the building, and the man jumped away from it, and he landed on another building.

Claire appeared on a glacier, and around her were several ice arrows. It spun around her like a clock.
The player conjured a large lightning spear and propelled it towards Claire.
Claire raised her hand, and a wall of ice formed in front of her. The lightning struck the wall with an intense force that some of the ice became debris.
A boulder made of ice went towards Edith. Shit!
Edith hid under the hole he made and dug deeper to avoid the impact. The earth around him shook, and he covered himself with his hands.
The earth stopped to shake. He lowered his hand and started to move to the surface, but the hole he made earlier, had been blocked with ice.
Dammit!
Edith popped out his stat window and looked at the map. The circle began shrinking. Time to move to the church.
He began digging towards the church. The earth around him shook again as he was digging, but he paid them no mind and continued digging like a mad man.
After some safe distance from the battle, he went upwards and made a hole to the surface. Edith popped his head and exited the hole.
Phew. He let out a sigh of relief. Edith turned his head to the church, and a person was leaning against the gate.
She was busy looking through her inventory. Unaware of another presence that was looking at her.
Edith dug the ground underneath him and towards the player. He made a hole and popped out from it.
She turned her head at him. The player beamed, "Ohh... so cute...."
Uhh... thank you, I guess?
“I'm sorry, but my health is kinda low, so... thank you for becoming my food,” she put her two hands together to apologize.
Yeah... about that... I'm sorry too.
She formed a dagger on her right hand and stretched her left hand to grab him.
“Hello.” Edith waved his tiny mole rat hand.
“Huh?” She stopped her hand.
Edith turned into a snake and bit her left hand.
“The fuck!” She cried in pain and tried to stab him, but Edith had turned into a bird and avoided her attack.
The poison began coursing through her body. Edith turned to his human form, and a red dagger formed on his right hand. He slid her throat, and the player's body turned into bits of light.
