War Grounds 14 BURNING A GRAVEYARD

[Battle Field: Fireflies' Graveyard.]

Fireflies' Graveyard is a circular map with a size of 600 x 600 body units. The following three items could be found in their respective areas:

'Firefly Oil' - Westernmost part area, hidden inside the smallest casket. The item increases Fire Elemental Damage by 40%, upon consumption for three minutes. Grants immunity against fire elemental damage within the period.

'Black Bible' - Middle Area, displayed in the Altar. Grants immunity against corpses' attack.

'Instant Salve' - SugarMummy's spawn point. Never mind this item, your opponent's luck is good.

[Battle Type: 1 vs. 1, Quick Match]

After each three-minute mark, the battle field's special effects will be triggered.

3-Minute Mark: Fireflies will deal true damage of 1% HP per three seconds, upon contact.

6-Minute Mark: Corpses will randomly appear from the ground. Each unit's attack will damage its target with 5% True Damage. Invulnerability will be bypassed.

9-Minute Mark: The grave will instantly swallow the user with the lowest HP. This will be considered as an instant death.

'Shit! Why, so brutal?' Al drew a sharp breath upon reading SARS' intel. If not for the advance information, he would have resorted to a game of attrition.

[Recommendations]

As the user has a passive called 'Genesis,' which removes 'Class Restriction' from skills, and the opponent belongs to the Undead Race, the following Arsonist Abilities are recommended:

'Piston Lungs' - Upon activation, empowers all attacks with the fire element. Consumes 2 MP per second.

'Devil's Tongue' - Releases a flame breath, 1-body unit full in a straight line, reaching up to 5 body units, and deals 40 Magical Damage, with 50% chance of triggering 'Hell's Mark.' A target with Hell's Mark will suffer a 5 Fire Magic DMG per second in 8 seconds.

'Happy Burnday!' - Allows the user to place candles on the ground. Once the flame on it dies, it will trigger an explosion, dealing up to 150 Fire Magical Damage, depending on the remaining size of the candle. The shorter, the more damage it deals. Each candle lasts up to two minutes. Up to 5 candles only.

The Arsonist class was first discovered by Gunther (Level 79, Dark Gold IV Dwarf Mechanic, Elite Member of the Guild, HornPub), after completing a hidden quest in Jojo's Junkyard. This type of class focuses on dealing with fire-oriented damage, in both physical and magical aspects. It also has immunity against fire elemental damages with their passive skill - 'Furnace Skin.' Not suitable for Undead races as the class is their bane.

MadRouge is the current Top 1 Arsonist User (Level 71, Gold I Savage Arsonist, Guild Leader of Wildcats).

'Woah!' Al's eyes shined as he absorbed the information displayed on his screen. Aside from getting featured on a global level, a hidden's class unique passive will be granted to its founder. For the case of Gunther, he did not change his mechanic class, but with the passive skill, 'Furnace Skin,' he was unstoppable against elemental fire users.

[1 Minute left before the start of the match.] The system reminded.

Al was not a dumb kid. It's just that his body-and-mind coordination was poor. He had already formed some strategies in his head while reading the information that SARS had provided.

His decision to pick the 'Rookie's Bow' was correct, as this allowed him to be versatile in both physical and magical skills or melee and ranged combat until he finds his own unique or suitable weapon.

(Rookie's Bow) (Common Type)

Level Requirement: 1

Attribute Requirement: 5 Agility, 2 Strength

Physical Damage + 18

Physical Skills + 12% Damage

Magical Skills + 8% Damage

[Attributes]

Agility ---> 6

Strength ---> 6

Intelligence ---> 6

Current attribute allocation is still within acceptable combat standards.

[The rest is up to you, Al Gentrix So Strong. I won't interfere unless you're a total loser on the battlefield. Make me proud.] SARS advised.

"Haha! You can sleep now! Thanks for the help! I feel bad for my opponent, though. I hope that this won't be a one-sided bully." Al honestly remarked.

[He who underestimates his opponent, overestimates his abilities. Stay grounded and act on what's obvious. Enjoy :D] SARS suddenly disappeared.

Whooooh! Al sharply exhaled as he clicked 'Ready.'

[Udil, Level 1, Rookie IV Human Creator ready for battle...]

The screen immediately loaded, showing a wallpaper of a gloomy graveyard illuminated by different colors of fireflies.

[Battlefield: Fireflies' Graveyard.]

[Battle Type: 1 vs 1, Quick Battle]

[Loading completed.]

It was precisely what SARS had reported, except for the extra information. Al shook his head, feeling sorry for his opponent, who was negligent about the map's rules, and his profile.

A circular map appeared on the top-left corner of Al's screen. "Huh? A mini-map? Is this a new update or...? Shit! SARS? Is this a tool from you? We'd surely get caught by the game developers with this one!" Instead of being grateful, Al grumbled.

He was currently located in the southernmost part of the map, a complete opposite of SugarMummy's spawn point. Looking around, Al briefly immersed himself at the beauty of this virtual reality world. If only these fireflies were not fatal, he would have stayed here for a little while to admire these creatures.

He immediately made his way towards the center of the map.

"Hi. Uhmmm. Can you let me win this match? Hehe. I'll give you my phone number in exchange :*", SugarMummy sent a message in the general chat.

'Tsss. As if that would work against me. I'm loyal to Sophia!' Al muttered to himself as he rolled his eyes. It was common for other male players to pretend that they were females, and play the 'seduction technique'; however, it did not work against the boy as he continued to find his way around the towering graves.

"My, my, my, what a snub. By the way, I'm an Undead Mage. If you're a physical class, you know what I mean, right? Surrender now :P", SugarMummy continued to pester Al in the chat. Little did she knew that her movements were clear as day in Al's minimap.

SugarMummy was heading towards the same direction as Al - the middle area, but Udil moved faster by using shortcuts. The Undead Mage was still 40 body units away from the altar when Al had already arrived.

Sitting below the crucifix was a black book. However, Al had other nasty thoughts. He did not take the item; instead, he used the five charges he had with his burst skill, 'Happy Burnday.' The red candles seemed to be harmless in the area and appropriate for the scenery as its arrangement encircled the 'Black Bible.'

"I'm here in the middle of the map, and I'm a Human Swordsman. You'd have to earn your easy win though :P", Al sent in the chatbox. However, instead of staying in the altar, he made his way to the west, wanting to obtain the 'Firefly Oil.'

Meanwhile, SugarMummy had finally arrived in the middle area. Her ghoulish character did not hide any care as it candidly made its way toward the altar.

"Yohooo! Where are you?" The Undead Mage called out. 'Huh? An item?' She quickly noticed the black book below the crucifix. After looking around twice, she pounced on it, with greed in her eyes. 'Haha! What a lucky find!'

Boom!

Udil was only 50 body units away from where he left when a massive explosion erupted. The fireflies swarmed away from the flames that had engulfed the middle part of the graveyard.

"VICTORY!"

'Fvck! That easy?' Al's mind was blown.
