Omega Summoner

Chapter 736: King of the Hill II

Each national team has planted all their flags and the voting prediction for the winner has also been closed. The team that is actually voted as the one with the most probable chance to win is the Russian team that is led by Sveto and Anastacia.

The display of pure power and undying gameplay capability earned them this prediction. Since the King of the Hill event has two phases, photos of the map from the national teams are not allowed. Even the people in the stadium could not take a picture of the holographic videos or rather all they get is a blurred image.

This is to make sure that the opposing teams will not be able to get data on other teams if they have not encountered them prior to the first part of the event. Although, this concern might not be as big of a deal since all national teams are just scouting during the first phase of the event. Some had minor scuffle like warning shots or trying to assassinate players.

Killing other players might seem like a great idea when it comes to protecting territory, but it is also a great red flag. It also gives an impression to players that they are near the base that you are protecting since you would go so far as to kill them when they are encountered.

Those with great tacticians in their teams all warned their team members to avoid giving a hint on their flag location. This applies to killing of other players as it is a dead giveaway that your flag base is nearby. All they needed to do is find the ten-meter area and they will have the location of the base.

The next team that the others voted to be the one to win is actually the South Korean National Team as their flag base is by far the most difficult to find. They could even leave it alone and find other flags because of how they created their flag base.

Unlike the first event, the developers added another thing in the second map as they felt that the necromancers were not giving an adequate fight. They decided to scatter corpses of monsters or human individuals in the map. Among these corpses are five legendary grade corpses that when revived could be a game changer.

Of course, finding just one of these five is extremely difficult so that the necromancers will not overpower the competition easily. The developers even made sure that once these five corpses are raised that they will be unable to be revived again. Each of the five corpses also have a small quest attached to them as there will be small hints in their locations.

This restriction would have been great is one player is not the literal Prince of the Undead. The moment that Creepysoo and his team arrived at the desert area is when he got a reaction that a corpse of a very powerful being is there. All necromancers have the ability to find dead bodies but the Prince of the Undead has an upgraded skill that can even determine their grade.

Creepysoo immediately found the corpse of that legendary class individual. He did not even need to find the small hints to that legendary class corpseʼ location as he just acted like a radar himself. He rose that corpse and immediately got a named Undead after being raised.

The named undead is raised as Nomad. This powerful undead even has clothes that make it look like a completely normal person that lives in a desert until you look it at its eyes. The named undead, Nomad, could actually control the sand in its surroundings and even has sand gathering at its lower body.

Creepysoo is thought that their base could literally be something buried in the sand with just the undead Nomad guarding it. The rest of his team members agreed as they saw how masterful the undead that is raised could actually use the sand. Their flag is literally buried in a makeshift room that is ten feet under the sand.

Since none of them except for Creepysoo could guard the flag as they needed air to breath, they decided to target other flags without fear of their own being stolen. Creepysoo agreed and decided to wait below the sand with their new undead companion as only he could control Nomad.

It has been decided that Creepysoo will also join the attack squad in the second phase if no one actually finds their flag in the first phase of the event. Creepysoo agreed as having the flag for a whole three hours is equal to three points and that could actually give them the lead that they need to win.

The other national team that has a peculiar hiding spot is the Philippine National Team because they chose the most traveled part of the map and that is the jungle. The jungle might be the best when it comes to attacking all parts of the map, but it is also the easiest to spot because all the players will most likely pass through there.

They also expected this as they rule never stated that they could not steal other flags from other teams that have also stolen flags. Actually, about three teams thought of this since three teams are stationed in the jungle area. The one that actually gave the suggestion of the flag being raised in the dungeon is the player named Apolaki that Adrian and Mina took note of.

He planted the flag in the tallest tree as he carved it out using his two unique swords. Apolaki has two swords that are different from each other and serve different purposes. One of the swords is called the Kampilan. Also known as talong is a type of single-edged sword that is different from western inspired swords.

It has a distinct profile, with the tapered blade being much broader and thinner at the point than at its base, sometimes with a protruding spikelet along the flat side of the tip. The design of the pommel varies between ethnic groups, but it usually depicts either a buaya (crocodile), a kalaw (hornbill), or a kakatua (cockatoo).

The other sword is what can be called as Kris. Kris is an asymmetrical dagger with distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor). Both a weapon and spiritual object, kris are often considered to have an essence or presence, considered to possess magical powers, with some blades possessing good luck and others possessing bad.
