"Damnit!" Hex on the other hand couldn't help but exasperatedly curse out loud, pondering on what in the world was happening.

Immediately, she vanished out, evading Sting's attack right before it killed her, this, causing it to travel into a nearby wall, significantly damaging it.
Reappearing few meters away from the impact zone, she noticed that the proximity between her and Sting had shortened. Face to face, both Players glared at each other, as their bloodlust significantly skyrocketed.
"You're facing me" Sting said, glaring at the weary female player.
Tsk…" Hex furiously blurted as she racked her brain intensively, trying to figure out her next course of action.
"If he tries to shoot me again… I won't be able to evade using 'Instant Transmission'" She thought, heightening her defenses.
Her attention was soon drawn towards the vanishing corpses of her attack force. This odd sight gravely incited Hex, prompting her to earnestly hope for certain event to happen. Obviously, Sting had already caught on the current situation.
In less than a second, The corpses instantly turned into miniscule pixelated blocks, this, vanishing into thin air. Immediately they disappeared, several consumable items appeared, hovering over the white metallic floors. These were free items which random and seldom spawn right after the death of players or Sentients.
Most of the free items were actually bunch of Mana and Blood pills. This was indeed what Hex was after. Adding the quantity of free spawning Mana pills and the ones she already had, she deduced that by ingesting them all, she would definitely be able to increase her Mana stat, giving her an edge over Sting ace shooting.
Glancing at each other, both Sting and Hex rushed at the free Mana and Blood pills, acting like savage beings. After their brief and childish squabble, they both returned to their previous position, hurriedly ingesting and investing their various loot consumables.
In total, Hex successfully consumed eighteen Mana pills and stored five blood pills in her System inventory. Following this, she also consumed another ten pills which she already had, stored in her inventory.

"You ready now!" Sting said with a proud smirk, tightly clutching his sniper rifle.
Hmph… Hex promptly sneered, tightly clenching onto her daggers, initiating her attack sequence.
Seeing she had proceeded to attack, he pulled his rifle, earnestly pointing it at his moving target.
! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Consecutively, Sting rapidly shot at Hex, gravely targeting her vital points. However, thanks to her insane reflexes, the nimble assassin evaded each attack with high difficulty.
Noting her reflexes were on par with that of Hellsing's, maybe a little inferior, Sting promptly ceased his frontal attack, dismissing his large rifle, there by resulting in hand to hand combat.
Halting her forward charge, Hex immediately ducked, utterly dodging Sting sudden right punch at the same time, delivering a wicked right jab to his abdomen, stunning the Ranger. Although she was lacking in physical strength, the sheer speed she used to deliver the attack was all she needed to deal a decent amount of damage to her opponent.

Shit!... Sting cursed, stumbling few meters backwards as he felt his Health stat instantaneously deplete.
Forcefully shaking himself back to reality, he furiously charged at both his hands, ready to bash Hex's face. Instinctively, she ducked down, going in for another low attack.
Heh-Heh.. Sting sneered mischievously, as he watched his female opponent ducking ahead of time.
! Whack! Slam! Crash!
Right before she could deliver her lower right punch, she felt a heavy object, forcefully colliding with her head, sending her face first to the ground.

Damnit… She irately yelled, as she was forced to listen to Sting's annoying chortle. Struggling to move her head upwards, she promptly caught a glimpse of Sting, chortling with his Large, sophisticated looking Sniper rifle tightly embracing his arms.
This awkward sight immediately gave her an insight of what rapidly transpired right under her nose. Right after she proactively dodged Sting's incoming attack, the lewd Player suddenly digitized his Sniper rifle. However, rather than shooting her down, he chose to whack her with the end of his large, heavy gun.
Slowly recovering from her 'goddamn' concussion, she struggled to get back to her knees, glaring wickedly at Sting, who continued his incessant chortle.
"Shut the hell up" She indignantly yelled, prepping herself to brutally attack her mocking Opponent.
"Heh-Heh… I'm sorry… I can't…" He stuttered, resuming his loud and annoying chuckle.
Tsk.. She clicked her tongue, rushing straight at Sting. Noting and predicting what might come next, the derisive Player, proactively dodged her incoming right dagger slash, shocking his opponent.
Huh…. Hex couldn't help but blurt, temporarily retreating, earnestly trying to reconsider her game plan.
Seeing her cautious act, Sting immediately resumed his derisive laughter as he said, "Since you aren't ready to attack… Then I will!"
! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Instantaneously, he shot three direct bullets at Hex, targeting her vitals. His accuracy was extremely deadly, as he attack almost impacted her, significantly killing her instantly.
However, due to some unforeseen factors, she dodged them with high difficulty, but was immediately greeted by another series of shots, each targeted at her arms and shoulders.

In total, she had incurred four wicked shots, with two to her left hand, one to her right leg and the other to her left. Blood slowly oozed out of her injuries, splattering all over the white metallic floor.
Fuck!... She furiously exclaimed, pushing herself towards the left, collapsing onto a futuristic, metallic door.
Almost instantly, the door automatically opened, allowing her to staggering in, incessantly cursing Sting. She soon came to an abrupt conclusion… Sting was an extremely playful and Gibelike Player. This was only a mask which he used to fool his opponent from his real demeanor.
In reality, Sting was a very cunning, decisive and deceitful player, who used charades to misdirect his opponents.
"Ooh.. Didn't see that coming" He thought, staring earnestly at the door which Hex hurriedly staggered into.
Following suit, he slowly and cautious walked towards the door, which automatically opened up for him, thus, allowing him to easily proceeded inwards.
Inside the chamber, were several metallic cases with varying widths and heights. Apart from these, the room was nothing special, however, Sting's attention was drawn to the trail of blood that splattered on the white floor.
"Heh-Heh.. Found you" He thought, heightening his defenses, as he anticipated a surprise attack.
.
Hiding behind a metallic case, Hex earnestly tried her best to cease her incessant panting, slowly clearing her distorted and disoriented thoughts.

Hurriedly, she summoned one Medic kit, promptly causing it to appearing right in her palms. The Medic kit's crimson glow gradually enveloped Hex, with the box slowly dissipating, restoring her Health stat to it's Maximum level.

Phew… She exhaled in relief that she wasn't in any eminent danger. Soon, she noticed a shadowy figure, menacingly staring down at her, thus, thundering fear down her spines.
"Checkmate!"
Meanwhile,
Third Sect,
Grim's Chamber
! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Instantly summoning his futuristic handguns, he simultaneously pulled both triggers. He brutally shot the male player who collapsed in front of him, through his skull while the female player who he blasted away, through her chest, thus, killing them instantly.
Wearing a cold, dead calm and stoic demeanor, he eerily shifted his attention back towards the rest, steering multiple emotions in their hearts.
"Who's next"
