Becoming the Slayer of the 8th Monster King

On cue with the second roar, the two smaller monster boars charge at me! I throw the small knife at one of the monster boat's head, it stops charging and tries to shake off the knife stuck on it's head. I dodge the other one that was still charging and jump on its back, before sinking into it and begin drinking its blood.

Within seconds, the monster boar stops moving and collapses on the ground, just like the first one. I shall finish off the smaller ones before attacking the bigger one.

I stab the one with the small knife stuck to its head with my extended claws at it's blindspot. It must have one thick skull to withstand the small knife!

I carry out the same move, it finally stops struggling around and drops on the ground too. I take the small knife out of it and ready myself to fight the bigger one.

In shock that it's subordinates were quickly defeated by me, the monster boar roars repeatedly. But to no avail, no more smaller ones were summoned. It must have ran out of Mp, since summoning skills would usually cost them.

Now that I've drank the other two's blood, I have regained Mp and am no longer as tired. The level up must have made it easier for me to defeat such monsters as my agility and strength have greatly increased!

I seize the opportunity, stabbing it's head and middle with my small knife and claws respectively. Just as I was about to jump on it's back to drink it's blood, it turns and headbutts me.

I lose my balance and fall on the ground. It uses this opening and charges at me. My body hurts from being hit, I can barely move it.

Damn it, what should I do?! I can't move my body since it hurts so much! If I take this hit head on, will I even survive it? I got to move!

I try to stand up, but collapse back onto the ground. The monster boar is about to reach me!

Just then a dozens of glowing orbs hit the monster boar's forelegs,makimg it deviate its direction of charging towards me. Instead, it crashed into the tree next to me as it was unable to stop in time.

I turn to the direction of where the glowing orbs came from and I see the glowing mouse from before. So it saved me, how nice of it. But there's no time to think about that, I need to focus on defeating the monster boar next to me.

I seize the opportunity and quickly finish it off. It roars and turned into glowing ash, along with the other two. Their bodies that were there a moment ago, is now three pile of ash.

Did I do that? Or is that how monsters and vampires die? Either way it's strange that it didn't happen to the first one I fought though.

I hear a squeak sound and turned to look at the glowing mouse scurrying towards me. I hold it in my palm and pat it's head, thanking it for helping me earlier.

Ding!

Everything looks great! Except for defence.. I really should get an armor soon. Of only those three bodies didn't turn into ash, I could have sold them for some money.

Marie's POV

Things have been going pretty smoothly for me so far. It has been a day and I have not been eliminated yet!

From the recent announcements, about 15 players have been eliminated from the game and are waiting in the waiting room with their partners. I heard that they will be announcing the total eliminated players soon too.

As I walk along the corridors, I notice a door that is slightly opened. As a walk towards it to close it, I hear voices coming from the other side and stop in my tracks.

"Hey!! Didn't you say that those bosses were prepared for my partner to slay?! Why is it that one of them is already slayed?! Care to explain that, Zack?"

"This is your own fault too. If only your partner had found it fast enough, perhaps he might have been able to finish it off."

"What?! You dare speak to me like that?! You are a liar!! You said that the bosses you placed will have tons of EXP and they will be drawn to my partner!! You also said that they will be weak enough only for my partner, so he could slay them with ease! Why is it that some random participant managed to slay one of them?!"

" Like I said, this is your own fault too. Whoever managed to slay it must have done it with their own strength. I did not lie to you about those earlier mentioned details, so don't you dare accuse me. Hmm, it seems like you don't remember, but I can share with the rest of the players about this wonderful gift. How would you think they would react?"

" Hey, don't mess with me man, I thought we're buddies... Yes, we're buddies right? You wouldn't do that to me?"

" Ahh, so now we're buddies? Fool, you should know your place!"

Following that, there was a loud crash.

" Don't you dare ever speak to me like that, you ungrateful imbecile!"

Oh my, how long have I been standing here? I better get out of here now...

I brisk walk away from the door and went inside my room.

I try to make sense of what I heard just now. Okay, so this game is basically rigged. But even if I know that, what can I even do?! If I tell the others! They might now believe me and my partner might even get targeted!

I feel so helpless... I thought this game would be fair...

I want to win this game, but it isn't a fair game as there are already players with advantages...

What should I do?

Ding Ding Ding!!

[Announcement : 20 Players have been eliminated]

What another five more?! That's quick. Could it be because of others cheating in the game? It won't do me any good to think so much... For now it's probably best to not anger the other players, especially the one named Zack...
