BXBX NOVEL Chapter 764 - The Third Event II
The most important thing for this event is the last hit. The rule that the one who kills the monster is basically a rule that enforces kill stealing. Even though some of the players did not want to but they will need to resort to that tactic if need be.
Kill Stealing or KS for the acronym is a very popular term in the gaming world. It is either very fun or very annoying depending on which side the player is on. The ones benefitting for kill stealing will definitely rejoice be it monster or player. They gain the points of the others with minimal effort just because they managed to hit it last.
For the one being the victim of kill stealing, let us just say that some keyboards and monitors did not survive back in the day. For Pandemonium, there are even players that quit after they got their kill stolen by another player, but they soon came back after a week or so. The thrill of Pandemonium is not that easy to keep away.
Nevertheless, this is a very rude behavior especially when it comes to dignified guilds. This act is basically them spitting on the face of another person and some guild wars are even triggered because of certain world bosses being KSed.
Every player in this event knew what they had to do but that also means offending the other party. It would have been avoided but the players are now in full competition mode because of the fiasco that happened in the second event.
The second event is basically the trigger that made every player become as competitive and petty as they can be as long as they win. They are now in full competition mode that simple undignified acts such as kill stealing will only be viewed as their key to their victory. The hunger in their eyes is now very apparent because of the last event.
This is actually one of the plans of the development team as they definitely wanted the players in this competition to hunger for the title. The first event is basically just an ice breaker in order to get the ball rolling. The second event is where the developers made sure that the competitive spirit of the players will be ignited. Some hotter than others as they still hold grudges.
"The Third Event Forest Hunter will now start! Each team has already finished rolling for their respawn location. Remember that players could be revived as long as their team member is nearby to revive them.
If a whole team is wiped out, then they will all respawn in the designated location. It also takes one minute to fully revive someone to half their health. It is important to note that the monsters located in this map is randomized so even f rank monsters could be different from one another!
Take note that the SSS Rank monster will only show up when half of the monsters in the map has already been defeated. It will not show up otherwise, but we know that the contestants will definitely be able to make it show up faster than anticipated.
Everyone can see the flames of determination burning in the eyes of those before me." The announcer stated as the players are now randomly transported in all of the areas.

"Who do you think will win?" Marlon asked.
"I do not know but I do know that the ones that are powerful in this type of events are the necromancers. They are powerful in PVE type of situations because lots of dead bodies will be scattered around them." Adrian replied.
"Do you know what is the appearances of the monsters? I am pretty sure that you manage to take a peek at it when they were doing your scans and such. Why is the SSS Rank monster worth a thousand points when the SS ranked monsters are only 75 points?" jade asked as she is curious with the point systems and the monsters.
Many people that play Pandemonium actually play because of the cool monsters that appear in the game. Many of these monster fanatics are the summoner players since they want to actually ride something like a dragon or be in battle with a giant bird. This event basically opened the eyes of those that have yet to see magical monsters scattered all throughout Pandemonium.
"I will not spill anything about the SSS Rank monster, but I can tell you about the SS ranked monsters. There is one in each zone of the map, and they must also be triggered by defeating a quarter of the number of monsters in the map.
The SS rank monsters are basically the dungeon bosses while the S ranked monsters are just considered as mini bosses. Although only a handful of individuals could probably defeat them by themselves since mini bosses are difficult to deal with as well.
The A rank monsters are in the level of field bosses as they are much easier to defeat with little teamwork. The other ranks are basically just that." Adrian replied as he did not want to spoil much of the fun.
"So, the SS rank monsters in each area are reflective of their habitat. I am now very excited for the monsters that will appear. It might be a monster that we have never seen before as they all got the data of the monsters in the game." Marlon stated with an excited tone as he is also a monster lover.
=====
The players of each national team have been transported to their respective safe zones. There are four safe zones per area which totaled to twenty in response to the number of teams clashing in this event. Each of the contestant immediately felt that the map has really become bigger but the first thing that they did is to get used to their doubled speed.
It is important for them to get use to it or else they might make a mistake when against other players. The strategies for each team are once again varied but more of them have kept their groups.. Only a few teams have dared to let some players go solo.
