Transmigrated into a reversed world
Chapter 206 - 206: [Round Two. Winner:Zane.]

As Zane called out for a duel, a swirling gold circle of light surrounded them and a hologram screen appeared.

[Three-on-One duel. Zane vs Hunter, Chicken and Grey.]

These words appeared in bold letters on the screen. Zane saw their names. His was still his real one—he'd been too lazy to change it.

"It suits us well; when we defeat you, all your gear becomes ours," Hunter uttered with a confident smirk as she fiddled with her arrows.

The two women nodded, bringing out their weapons from their inventory. Chicken retrieved a silver chain, its edge gleamed with a sharp dagger.

Grey swung to short hammers with both hands; the force of her swing created a burst of wind.

[Round one.] The hologram screen announced and the three women glanced at the samurai woman with greed.

Hunter made a signal by shooting a warning towards Zane's feet.

Zane didn't make any necessary movements and watched them calmly as they dashed towards him.

Chicken swung her chain in a circular motion, the force rippling through the air as she made a sharp thrust at Zane.

The dagger at the end of the chain sliced through the air, aiming for Zane's chest—in hopes of ending the battle quickly.

Zane dodged to the side, Grey swung her hammer to Zane's side but he deflected the blow with a blunt edge of his blade.

Zane rolled the chain around his sword with a flick of his wrist. Before Chicken could react, he pulled her forward, using her to block Hunter's arrow.

Chicken gasped as a sharp pain zapped through her brain. The game was so advanced, every sensation—smell, touch, even pain—felt real.

Hunter frowned and pressed the mechanism on her bow, shooting countless arrows towards Zane.

"Get out of the way!" She warned the others as the arrows whizzed through the air but it was too late.

Grey was about to dash to the side, but she was hit by the hilt of Zane's sword and couldn't dodge or block the arrows in time.

Zane hid behind the two as the arrows pierced through their body like porcupines.

Their wails echoed through the clearing, causing the dagger woman to grimace, as if she felt the pain herself.

Hunter frowned. Before she could generate another arrow, she saw a flash of light before her.

Her eyes widened as Zane slashed her from the waist down. Blood poured from Hunter's wound, her body sliding to the ground in disbelief, her upper half falling lifelessly.

The dagger woman sucked in a sharp breath as she witnessed the brutal death of Hunter.

She couldn't read Zane's move at all, it all happened in a blink.

Zane flicked the blood of his sword and stepped toward the two moaning women.

They bled profusely; tears streamed down their faces as pain tore through their bodies

Zane swung his sword downward in a swift motion, slitting their throats in unison—ending their suffering.

[Round one. Winner: Zane.] The hologram screen announced as the three women's bodies disappeared, but the gold circle didn't disappear, nor did the hologram screen.

After ten minutes they appeared in the circle again, all healed, though the pain remained itched to their face.

[Round two]

At the hologram announcement, they shivered unconsciously, their body still remembering the pain.

The way they looked 't Zane changed; cautiousness and fear filled their eyes, but they didn't surrender; her gears were too tempting to them.

So they took the fight more seriously, they shared a gaze and attacked Zane together.

Zane was already feeling bored; he thought they were strong and could entertain him a bit before he hunted beasts, but…sigh.

Without moving an inch, he effortlessly blocked their attacks, then thrust his sword into Grey's unguarded back, piercing her heart with precision—killing her instantly.

Hunter shot an arrow in close range, seeing an opportunity as Zane's sword was still stuck in Grey's body.

As Chicken flipped her chain toward Zane's neck, aiming to choke him to death, Zane surprised them by stabbing her through the throat—using the same sword still lodged in Grey's body.

Hunter watched, stunned, as her arrow was blocked by the corpses of her teammates. At this moment she realized that they were no match for this woman.

Zane didn't give her the chance to digest her thoughts, he pulled out his sword and beheaded her.

[Round Two. Winner:Zane.] As soon as the announcement was made, an interface displaying the trio's gear appeared before Zane, and it was up to him to choose whatever he wanted.

The gold circle disappeared together with their bodies. Zane flipped through their gears and couldn't find anything that caught his attention.

He decided to sell all their gear and convert it to game coins. His interface dinged with an alert, and he saw the coins added to his account.

He left under the stunned gaze of the dagger woman and entered the forest.

The woman swallowed and patted her chest in relief. She had wisely chosen not to rob Zane.

'Zane.' Those words were imprinted in her mind. She made a mental note: never make an enemy of this gamer, or her gear and stats would be wiped clean—like those three.

With a last look at where he entered, she turned and entered another part leading to the forest.

Meanwhile, Kyle pummeled a woman with a club, letting all his frustrations loose. He pushed back his silver hair and laughed as blood dripped from his club.

"Pfft…" The woman coughed out blood, her body numbed from pain as she pleaded with her gaze for Kyle to end her.

"What? I can't hear you….speak louder." Kyle drawled lazily as he squatted—pulling out a handkerchief, he wiped his blood-stained hands slowly.

"K-Kill…pfft…me." The woman slurred, her body filled with so much pain that even talking sent a sharp bolt of pain to her chest.

Kyle arranged his assassin outfit in order, gazing at the woman with an indifferent expression.

"No. You will remain this way and experience the joys of pain." Kyle uttered calmly, he glanced at the people around with a calm gaze.

"If anyone sends her on her way. Then delete your account and pray I never find you." Kyle threatened calmly as the five women trembled in fear.

They looked at their boss's bloodied body and swallowed. They had warned the boss not to loot this person's territory, but the boss ignored their warnings.

Their boss was so confident she would never return—how would someone as popular as black shadow not log in for seven months? Unless she was dead in the real world or lost her account.

But they didn't expect she would suddenly log in unannounced while they had already accepted the reason for her absence.

"Kyle reclaimed his loot and walked out, his next destination—another blind idiot.
