AWB Chapter 517 Role Reversal
Chapter 517 Role Reversal
Players from the Eastern Territory stand on the Eastern Border.
Players in the West stand on the western border.
Separated by that familiar boundary, they are clearly distinct.
The overlap period has ended.
The war was suspended.
But the final countdown has begun.
......
Eastern border.
Near the teleportation point, the crowd instantly erupted.
"12 hours?! I'm ranked 97,000th!"
"I only have 82,000, but the others are catching up fast! I need to hurry up and increase my bets!"
"Negro spawn point! Where's the nearest jungle spawn point?"
"Let's team up! I'm the tank, you guys handle the damage and heal!"
"Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense!"
Someone opened a map and frantically swiped their finger across the screen.
Someone swallowed a speed-up potion and vanished into the night in a flash.
Some people rushed out without even waiting for their teammates.
The players who were just watching the boss battle and marveling at Lin Tian's stomp on Kisla have now gone completely mad.
Because they know—
The last 12 hours.
The number of points you can accumulate directly determines whether you can advance to the third round.
What are the benefits of advancing to the third round?
Nobody knows the exact answer.
But everyone knows—
Those who get in have one more chance than those who don't.
One more chance means one more opportunity.
More opportunities can widen the gap between you and others.
......
Monster spawn points.
More than fifty people hurriedly gathered together.
"Tanks in position!" A soldier carrying a shield rushed forward, slamming the shield onto the ground with a dull thud.
"DPS in position!" Several mages and archers spread out and took up advantageous positions.
"Where's the pastor? Is there a pastor?!"
"I have a minor healing ability!" A girl in a white robe raised her hand, and a faint light shone from her staff.
"Come in!"
The team took shape in three seconds.
Ten seconds later, it charged towards the spawned fusion monster.
"Tank, hold on!" the lead warrior roared, his shield glowing with an earthy yellow light—the [Taunt] skill activated.
The amalgamation monster was attracted and lunged at the tank, brandishing its claws.
"Give it your all!"
Fireballs, ice spikes, and arrows rained down on the fusion monster. The light from the skills flickered in the night, illuminating everyone's faces.
"Priest, check the tank's health!"
The priest waved his staff, and healing spells landed on the tank time and time again.
The green light flashed, stabilizing the tank's health above the safe level.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The next wave is about to start!"
The fusion monster fell.
Less than ten seconds.
Nobody wasted words.
Nobody was slacking off.
Every second is spent vying for damage.
Every second is spent accumulating points.
Every one more we kill increases our chances of survival.
......
But not everyone is grinding monsters.
Another monster spawn point.
More than twenty people formed a circle.
Inside the circle were six players with deathly pale faces.
They still held their weapons in their hands, but their hands were trembling.
Their eyes were wide open, their pupils filled with fear.
"What...do you want to do?"
The leader of the players laughed.
It was a laugh devoid of any warmth.
His lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes, only a chilling killing intent.
"What are you doing? Don't you know what you're doing?"
One of the six players, a warrior, gritted his teeth and said, "We didn't do anything to you! We don't even know you!"
"Didn't provoke anything?" The leader's eyes turned cold.
Before the overlap period, your people killed my brother. They looted two of his items.
The soldier's expression changed.
They did it.
Before the overlap period, they specifically hunt down lone players to steal points and loot equipment.
It felt great to do that.
I had a lot of fun doing it.
They did it without any psychological burden.
But now—
"That happened a long time ago!"
The soldier, steeling himself, said in a trembling voice, "There are still 12 hours left. Why aren't you grinding for points? What are you doing here?"
The leader laughed.
She was smiling brightly.
But that kind of brilliance was even more chilling than the indifference from before.
"Collect points???" He shook his head. "I don't need the points. But I need your lives."
The soldier's face turned completely pale, ashen.
A mage nearby coldly said, "Killing players also earns points."
The soldier was stunned.
Yes.
You also get points for killing other players.
Although not many.
but--
"And," the leader licked his lips, his eyes fixed on them like a wolf, "you guys should still have quite a few points left, right?"
He paused.
"Kill you all. 10% of your points will be mine."
The six players were completely panicked.
"We...we can help you grind monsters!! You can have all the points! We'll be the laborers!!!"
"No need," the leader shook his head. "Killing you all and taking it ourselves is much easier. Laborers? Who knows if you'll turn against us?"
He waved his hand.
More than twenty people rushed forward.
The six of them didn't even have a chance to fight back.
A flash of light appeared.
The fireball exploded.
An arrow pierced his chest.
A white light flashed.
The six figures disappeared.
The leader stood still, watching his score jump.
He smiled.
Then he turned around and led his men to the next location.
"Eleven hours left," he said, his voice carried away by the night wind. "Kill as many as we can."
......
Role reversal.
Those hunter teams that used to specialize in hunting lone players have now become the most sought-after targets.
Because everyone knows—
They have a lot of points.
Killing one is equivalent to grinding for half a day's worth of monsters.
As a result, the entire border area was filled with chases and counterattacks.
"run!"
"Run separately!"
"Damn it, they're catching up!"
"Don't chase me! I'll give you the points!"
"Too late!"
A white light flashed.
Another hunter falls.
"Damn it, karma really came fast..."
On his deathbed, he murmured.
But no one heard it.
......
In the eastern border, there is a dense cluster of wild monsters.
Zhang Tianya, carrying the newly acquired shield, slapped a fusion monster away.
The shield slammed into the monster's face with a dull thud, sending the monster flying and rolling several times on the ground.
Behind him stood more than a hundred members of the "Battle Alliance".
Some tank the lane, some deal damage, and some heal.
They work together seamlessly and are extremely efficient.
"President, the next wave is in ten seconds!!"
"Understood." Zhang Tianya nodded, slamming his shield on the ground. "Tanks, get ready to engage. DPS, save your skills, don't over-aggro. Same old routine, focus fire on the big one first!"
"clear!"
Li Weiwei stood to his side and slightly behind, flames dancing on her staff.
Her gaze swept across the battlefield, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.
Her "Bloody Romance" guild members were also here, mixed together with Zhang Tianya's people.
The two guilds were allies, so their cooperation was a natural fit.
"How much time is left???"
Zhang Tianya took a moment to ask, and the shield blocked another monster's attack.
Li Weiwei glanced at the time: "Ten hours."
"How much can I use?"
"have no idea."
