"Damn, our steal got counter-stolen!?"
Meanwhile, Paprika's coaches were watching the Group B match. Even when the Red Turtle was stolen from them, they didn't lose hope. No, it was more accurate to say they saw even more hope. Coaches saw one step further than ordinary people.
"Hm? Sweet Radish and ForeverAlone are dead here?"
"Zelo too! If this is the case...!?"
They thought the battle after the Red Turtle was more important because Survival mode wasn't Siege. When a player died, they didn't revive. The team had to revive that player. Lives had far greater value in this mode. Three deaths were a significant risk for the enemy.
"They took the Turtle and even accepted all this..."
"What on earth?"
There was no way the enemies didn't know this. It was an incredibly reckless attempt at a steal. This wasn't something to attempt without enormous conviction.
"What! This is our opportunity! If we kill all of them, this is actually workable!"
Whatever conviction the enemy had going for the Red Turtle became an opportunity. Paprika's coaches grew excited.
"If we kill everyone here, we win!!!"
"We even have more numbers! They made a big mistake there!"
Zelo, Sweet Radish, ForeverAlone, and the others had died meaninglessly. Thanks to that, Cheese only had nine players, even with Magical Girls joining.
Paprika had ten players. Their HP was slightly disadvantageous, but with careful distribution, they could kill everyone. If that happened, Paprika could truly dominate the game.
"Hm? Wait, Almond is going to the rune box?"
Before they knew it, Almond had touched the rune box.
"Wh-what!? When did he get there!?"
"Damn!"
'Got it!'
Almond's hand touched the rune box. Three cards floated up. Usually, the first card to appear would be Raina, but not this time because she was banned.
[Biker Gang: Paul]
A rough-bearded, strong-jawed, muscular, and blond man appeared.
''Hey, want to go for a ride!?''
It wasn’t a familiar pick for Almond. Fortunately, the other two were different.
[Pure White Sniper: Ran]
[Cautious Hunter: Sori]
Right now, it was complete chaos. Picking Ran would mean turning into a rune spirit in an instant without getting to fire many shots. The most agile pick was needed. Almond immediately chose Sori. The total time for all these considerations was 0.03 seconds because Almond didn't think.
Raina was banned anyway. If Sori appeared, the plan was always to pick Sori. He practically picked by reflex. From everyone else's perspective, he'd immediately transformed into a champion the moment he touched the rune box.
Hummmm!
Bright light blazed and wrapped around Almond.
All of Paprika stepped back by instinct. With the light making things invisible, they had no choice but to briefly recoil. Yielding even briefly to such weak instincts in a battlefield like this meant not surviving.
Whoosh!
[Rope Movement]
Thud!
A rope attached to one of Paprika's players.
"Wh-what!?"
Pop!
[Fire Arrow]
A fire arrow pierced their head as flames spread around.
Crash!
The fire also burned two nearby players. The base flame damage from Sori was applied, but the buff obtained from the Red Turtle was also stacked on top.
[Blessing of Flame]
[Attacks set enemies ablaze. Burning enemies will take continuous damage and their positions are revealed to allies.]
Whooooosh!
Whoosh!!
Flames struck the enemies twice in succession. At that moment, the rope retracted and Almond appeared in view.
"Wh-what!?"
Bang!
The moment the enemy regained awareness, three arrows already pierced him. The last one a Wind Arrow. This finisher technique dealt stronger damage the lower the target's HP.
Bang!
[DumbYoungMan → Oreganu]
One Paprika player was instantly deleted.
The commentator only now realized who Almond had contracted. That was how fast the contract speed and transition to combat had been.
“Dumb Young Teen?! Child! No! Anyway! It was Sori! With Sori right now...! He instantly removed one person!?”
One person had already died in that amount of time.
— What the
— What?
— Dumb Young Teen lmaooo
— Wow
— I see
— Got mixed up in the excitement
— What?
— It was Sori
The commentator couldn’t even mention that Rope Movement's cooldown would reset with a kill or assist.
[Rope Movement]
Almond's rope attached to something again. His body moved rapidly, and he fired another arrow. He was chasing a target who had far too little HP to begin with.
“Rope Movement resets on kills! He used it again! And another elemental arrow appears... No! Dumb Young Man! With a double kill!!”
Orange King shouted it in advance. “Dumb Young Man Double Kill!”
That was the only way to say it simultaneously.
— Pre-shouting LOL
— Calling it in advance now lmaooo
— Wow
— What? Dead?
— lmaooo just a disaster here
“Right now is such a good situation to keep resetting Rope Movement!? Everyone, ally and enemy alike, has low HP! It’s complete chaos, so... Dumb Young Man! Triple kill!” Orange King shouted it in advance again.
“No, Orange King! He hasn't fired anywhere yet!”
— lmaooooooooooo
— LOL
— lmaooooo
— Called it too early hahaha
— But that will probably happen...
Almond fired three regular arrows.
Bang!
They all hit one person, but this player had a shield and prevented significant damage.
"Ha, haha! Try again!"
After expending all three arrows, one elemental arrow appeared in the quiver. Almond cleanly ignored those words and aimed the elemental arrow elsewhere.
[Ice Arrow]
He fired toward where Lemon was. Paprika's GangnamFry was targeting Lemon.
Ding!
GangnamFry, who'd been targeting Lemon, froze.
"Lemon! Fireball!"
"What!? Th-then it'll thaw..."
"It's fine!"
Crash!
Lemon fired a Fireball, and Almond's rope grapple attached near GangnamFry simultaneously. This meant Almond had gained one more elemental arrow.
Twiiiiing!
The rope wound up, and Almond instantly flew in.
"Hey! Where are you going!?"
The shield user tried to grab Almond somehow, but he'd already flown away on the rope. Almond fired one elemental arrow while flying.
[Wind Arrow]
Bang!
He quickly fired three more regular arrows. All these arrows hit while he soared on the rope. That generated one more elemental arrow. After landing at the rope's end, another Wind Arrow came.
[Wind Arrow]
Bang!
"Wh-what is this!"
The enemy had never seen anything like this before. This turned out to be GangnamFry's final words.
[DumbYoungMan Triple Kill!]
Pop!
He became a rune spirit.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
With the triple kill achieved, the momentum completely shifted. Cheese's side erupted in an enormous cheer.
Orange King screamed in excitement, "This! Is genuinely seamless! He landed three arrows and an elemental one! Almond used Rope Movement and elemental arrow again! Flying away and firing three more and another elemental arrow! Three elemental arrows in an instant! Three times in basically three to four seconds! Who wouldn’t die!? Is this no cooldown mode!?"
— Why informal speech suddenly LOL
— lmaooooo
— Excited and dropped formality hahaha
— lmaooooo
— A different personality just came out LOL
Usually, the caster settled this kind of thing. However, the caster was also in no condition for that right now.
"Oh, I, I can barely even call out the names! That's how fast it's going! Right now, he’s firing something! Something exploded! This is really happening! I've never seen Sori like this!"
In truth, Cautious Hunter Sori had been a recently released champion. Not many people had seen how Almond played it. No, some had seen, but even fewer had been on the receiving end. On top of that, after Sori first appeared, Almond had largely stopped playing LIL as his main game.
"Paprika would have known! That if Almond gets an archer champion! A completely unimaginable level of firepower comes out! But! No matter how much you know! Even knowing and knowing again! This, you can't know! Like! The Dumb Young Man! You just can't know!"
— lmaooooooooo
— Pure nonsense LOL
— lmaooooo
— Suddenly dissing Dumb Young Man
— lmaooooooooo
"Before you're on the receiving end! You abso~lutely won't know!"
Orange King said this for a reason.
"Oh! Come to think of it, you played with Almond when Sori first appeared, right? Were you on the opposing team? Oh, but the moment I mention that!"
Cheese's counterattack began as Magical Girls took a few more kills.
[Team Sett Additional Out!]
The Paprika team with GangnamFry was eliminated.
"AHHHH! Th-this... this is too fatal!?"
Orange King smacked his forehead.
"Like a deja vu of Group A? No, like looking in a mirror, but completely reversed!? They're genuinely done! Paprika!"
Even the small remaining hope was completely crushed. The moment he said this, golden light shot from the stands as Cheese fans erupted.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
"DUMB!"
"YOUNG!"
"DUMB!"
"YOUNG!"
There was a clearly audible chant. They were calling the name of the one who created this moment.
— lmaooooooooooooooooooo
— Dumb
— LOL
— Dumb lmaooooooo
— Wow hearing it live is legendary
Thousands of people shouted Dumb and Young. This spectacle left all three commentators dazed.
The caster cautiously asked, "So... th-that's not from Paprika's side? That's from Cheese?"
Orange King couldn't answer.
The analyst answered instead, "That appears to be the case. Thanks to the technology, the chant is appearing above their heads."
In the section colored vivid yellow, [DUMB] and [YOUNG] rose up in large letters.
— lmaooo fr
— At least that's clear
— LOL Cheese side is doing it
— Who's that one red person over there?
— lmaooo
"Oh, please don't misunderstand everyone. This is a cheer for the Dumb Young Man, aka Almond. This person's abbreviated name is Dumb...Young. Dumb... Young, so Dumb... Young...! It's that...!"
After this, the game was completely one-sided. The three surviving Paprika teams gradually ran out of food and withered.
"Oh. Cheese! Is chasing again! Now the champion number difference is too large!"
Paprika couldn't level properly or contract properly.
"AHHHH! Almond! He’s using Rope Movement while smiling!? He’s just playing for fun now!"
"It’s a three level difference! He’s just roughly shooting, and they all die!"
The level gap with the Knight Order had widened to a full three levels.
"Oh, even! Sweet Potato! Player Sweet Potato triple kill~!"
"Oh wow! Even Bubblegum gets a kill! This is genuinely terrifying!?"
"Ohhh...! Bubblegum is laughing! Laughing on top of corpses! Oh! LIL is fun!"
— lmaooooooooooooooooo
— Wow this is fr
— LMAO
— Paprika must be so angry lmaooo
— Bubblegum corpse-dancing
The moment Paprika lost the Red Turtle battle, there was no hope for them. This was a predetermined future.
"AHHHH! This! The Spies team has also been eliminated!"
Beeeeep!
[Spies Out!]
The caster delivered his closing words.
"This Group B! Was one-sided like Group A! But with a completely different result! It has solidified as a Cheese victory!"
Thunderous cheers blanketed the entire stadium.
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
