Omega Summoner

Chapter 722: The Buzz

The first event has successfully finished, and the criticisms started to appear just like any other sport. It seems that some people are not happy that their respective countries did not win. Just like any other games, the people watching have more to say than the players themselves.

They can just casually say stuff like that as they are hidden in the veil of anonymity while the players are actually giving their all against their opponents. Although only a small part of the community is actually toxic like that, but they are usually the loudest.

There are also people in the community that will defend the honor of those who did their best. It goes to show that some players are just not able to immediately adapt or have the luck to actually survive a sudden addition to the event. Then again, the Pandelympics developers only told them the basic rules of each event.

”Well, those that actually curse at others are just bitter that they were not good enough to be chosen anyway.” Adrian muttered as he closed the holoswatch since his mother is already glaring at her for not touching his food.

”I have got to say, for a prestigious restaurant such as this…it is actually very empty right now.” Marlon stated as he put down his plate that could be only described as a meat mountain.

”That is because I reserved the whole place for us. At least this floor as the owner did not want to budge when I told him that I wanted the whole restaurant for myself.” Adrianʼs grandfather stated with a hearty laugh.

Adrianʼs friends looked at him with wide eyes as they did not expect that his grandfather could do such a thing as the place is really expensive according to the reviews of the restaurant. Adrianʼs father could only sigh as he knows that his father once again took things too far.

”Everyone should eat and be full. I rarely meet my family already because my son is such a grouch which is why I am spoiling everyone of you.” Adrianʼs grandfather stated with another hearty laugh.

”Even us?” Marlon asked without even a shred of shyness.

”Of course, my grandsonʼs friends are also like my grandkids.” Adrianʼs grandfather replied with a wide smile.

”Do not even get any ideas.” Adrian warned as he knows that Marlon really does not hold back as long as he gets permission. He might look like a down to earth guy, but a beast is lurking inside his body with his monster of an appetite.

”I really do not know where you put all that food.” Jade stated as she is now reassessing her life choices.

”It such a shame that Creepysoo got eliminated early in this event. It seems that they were really targeted.” Marlon stated as even Creepysoo is part of the Korean National Team, but he did not shine much due to the performances of the other superstars.

”It is a given that a necromancer is not going to have a favorable advantage in situations like that as they shine more in dungeons. Plus, Creepysoo has yet to use his knights anyway.” Adrian stated.

”Meanwhile our national team members were also easily knocked out. I guess we will not be getting any medal this tournament.” Mina stated as she judged that the national team members of their country is not on par with everyone else.

”The only one that I noticed that is noteworthy in our national team is the player named ʼApolakiʼ. He managed to actually tank one blast of that lava but got eliminated trying to eliminate other players. His playstyle is more of a battle god that becomes stronger in the heat of the war.

It is either a trait specific to his job class or just his playstyle. Either way, we may have a chance in PVP as he is also holding back in the first event. Most of the players that entered that event used that chance to observe their opponents.” Adrian replied.

”Why did the other teams not do the same? You know…the leading ones.” Jade asked.

”That is because they believe that they are the best and could easily handle anything that comes their way even if their opponents get details about them. If you look closely during the first event, the Japanese National Team started the real assault as Hou Yiwei from the Chinese National Team just probe some shots.

The problem is that the ones that started the real fight did not expect that their opponents are greater in terms of skill and teamwork. In the end, the ones that were leading lost their chance to seize victory due to many factors, but I believe that the player named ʼBladeʼ held back.

He could have easily broken through any of the attacks that the others threw at him, but he just passively looked on. It seems that he is probing the other players, but it cost them the 1st place ranking. They did get the MVP award which means that they are tied with the team in first place.” Adrian stated as he relayed what he observed in the battle.

”Someone should really hire you as a battle strategist as you actually have great understanding of battles. Pair that with you as a summoner then no wonder you are good at Pandemonium.” Marlon stated as he praised his best friend.

”Still a no in what my grandfather said.” Adrian immediately shut down his best friend.

=====

Meanwhile in the Forums of Pandemonium, a thread dedicated to the Pandelympics is created in order for players to talk about what they watched in the tournament.

Darkness is My Friend: If Eldritch actually joined the competition, then he would have easily won the event hands down. Even Hou Yiwei will need to bow down to his feet and kiss them.

Sexy Body Ugly Face: Another Eldritch fanboy has joined the chat. Such a loser.

Darkness is My Friend: What did you just call me shrimp?

Sexy Body Ugly Face: How dare someone like you call me shrimp!? Go cry back to your daddy Eldritch.

Peacekeeper: Stop in the name of peace. This must be a friendly chat or else the moderators will ban you guys.

Darkness is My Friend: In our country, we call those with sexy bodies but ugly faces ʼShrimpʼ. So, you perfectly used the description as your username.

Love Banter: Why Shrimp?

Darkness is My Friend: Because you throw away the head and just eat the body. Kekeke! LOL!

Norse Goddess: To think that Frey did not get to the last match.

Be Mine Norse Goddess: Do not worry my goddess! I will be here to comfort you.

[User Be Mine Norse Goddess has been reported by Norse Goddess for harassment.]

Love Banter: Your goddess actually dislikes you. Be careful or you might get judgement.

Frey is My Idol: I feel you Norse Goddess. The fact that numerous teams ganged up on Frey made me almost destroy my projector at home, but I remembered that I am just living in my parentʼs basement and not paying for their stuff.

Be Mine Norse Goddess: To be fair, Frey managed to actually defeat almost all the teams that ganged up on her with her teammates. She died a great fighter while those she defeated got mocked for doing so. I guess they really find her as a threat.

Sexy Body Ugly Face: Men are always afraid of strong women anyway.

Darkness is My Friend: You do know that it was mainly women led groups that attacked Frey, right. Then again, Eldritch would have wiped them out if he was the one ambushed.

Sexy Body Ugly Face: This guy above me is too far gone.

Love Banter: I am also disappointed that Eldritch did not participate in the event as many would have wanted to witness his fighting capabilities.

The Demon Fanboy: I am also disappointed that my idol is not participating in this competition. Send me hearts to cure my broken heart.

Love Banter: LOL! Even if Equinox joins the fight, I bet that he will not last that long as he is still not as skilled as the others when it comes to combat.

The Demon Fanboy: You might not know this, but I secretly follow my idol, Equinox, when I see him. Let me tell you that he could easily wipe the floor with everyone in this competition.

Frey is My Idol: You are just telling that because you are biased and is blindled by your loyalty to the demon player.

Darkness is My Friend: Still, it would have been more exciting if he actually is a part of a national team. It has been a while since his in-game name is revealed yet we still do not know anything about him. Kind of shady if you ask me.

The Demon Fanboy: You say that, but your idol is the shadiest of all.

Love Banter: Only Vayu and Creepysoo from his circle of friends are actually participating in this tournament. They are really cool to especially Vayu.

The exchange of words lasted until they were speaking about something pointless.
