Chapter 89: Last Strike

***Back on the surface***

While Azamus was getting chased by the two-headed raven and the death knight, Khalor never stopped watching the timer. He was waiting for it to reach zero.

His goal had never been to take out players, only to get the potion. After that, all he wanted was to wait for the penalty to go off.

Since this wasn't his first play-through, he already knew what the penalty was. Although he hadn't taken part in the original first tournament, or any subsequent, he watched all of them through live streams.

He had intended to kill Azamus quickly and go sit back on the pyramid, to wait it out, but had underestimated the pro player's resilience.

After a full twenty minutes of chasing around, shooting, and dive attacks, Azamus was still standing. He kept drinking potions, to keep his health close to full, but his stock was practically empty.
