Chapter 263 Blood_Of_Damocles Gaining Popularity In The Forum
However, since Bernard had never bothered to enter the game forum he didn't know what was happening, after logging out of the game Bernard had once again returned to his dorm to meet with Ryan and the girls, but then what he didn't know was that while he had just left the game, the videos of the match he had again was currently being shared among the users in the game forum.
This had surprisingly become a routine of some players who had lost to him, although not all of them had any intention of ridiculing him some instead just wanted to have something to talk about.
There were so many opinions about his symbiote ability, that the videos being shared among the players gradually began to gain even more traction than it already did before, and it didn't seem like his popularity among the players would be going down soon, since more and more players were engaging on the forum, because at this moment while he didn't know it he had suddenly become famous among the players in the forum, that there wasn't a post that goes by in a day without him being mentioned among it.
In the afternoon when iron rocks eventually came back online, not even he had expected the original post and video he made just to vent his frustration of losing would become so popular within just a few days, nevertheless, he got to know he wasnt the only person who had experience the terror of the dude since he could see different videos of him being posted every now and then in the game forum.
After watching a few he realize the blood dude seemed to have a familiar pattern of fighting and even killing off his opponents, not only that he also realize some of the videos that were being posted he used a different sets of symbiote bloodlines, but with a different style of fighting, at this moment he was sure there two people using the same account, but then he had no clue why two people would share one ID since they could just create two.
Meanwhile, Bernard who wasn't aware of all this was busy filling his stomach with snacks since he almost used up his energy points today, in the last match he had although he didn't win but it could be said to be more or less a draw, the last opponent he fought before he was out of the game had been a rank 5 cyclops who kept shooting out lasers from his eyes, however, if it was just that he wouldn't have been killed by him.
It was the fact that the lasers seemed to have the ability to tail him, no matter where he went or how fast he was the lasers were able to locate not even with Meow Meow Cat Strike was he able to stop it, and right when he would shoot Meow Meow Cat Strike the lasers would suddenly twist to avoid it, at the end he couldn't get close enough to him to cast blood judgment on him, and could only result in using Dash but even with that he was still killed and could only end up reducing the laser guy health bar by 70 percent.
With his routine of facing low-level opponents and quick random matches, he had gradually begun to notice the shortcomings of his bloodline abilities and skills, although they were strong enough to make him fight even rank 5 to rank 6 opponents for some time, they weren't still strong enough to win against some rank 5 not to talk of rank 6 if he was to take a guess of his chances against them he would say the percentage of winning against a rank 5 would be 50% and rank 6 was zero.
It wasn't that he was looking down on himself or overestimating his opponents, the reason why it was like that was simply that even though it seemed like he could defeat any rank 5, it was rather the opposite since there were some rank 5 who had awakened either the second gear of a beast weapon or the second gear of their symbiote beast, it was just like that blind swordsman he had fought back then in the game, he was sure the dude had awakened the second gear of his three beast weapon and on top of that, he was also a rank 6.
Another thing he had noticed about his symbiote abilities was that he couldn't cast blood judgment as fast as he wanted, the reason was he noticed before he cast the ability he needed to concentrate on the hand he was going to use the ability on, this was why even though he could out run most of his opponents by simply using Dash even when he eventually got to the range blood judgment could be cast he couldn't do it instantly, otherwise, he would have been able to defeat a rank 6 even if he saw one in reality.
It was a common fact, your enemies or opponents wouldn't give you time or wait for you to activate your symbiote bloodline before going for the kill, anyone who does that was either a fool, overconfident or simply extremely powerful that they felt it would be unfair for them to immediately kill their opponent without giving any chance to fight back, he was even sure not even the strongest symbiote users known as Aboriginals would be willing to give their enemies such privilege otherwise the celestials would have long slaughtered them.
One of the reasons why Bernard had never been bothered about the game forum was simply because of the life he had lived back on earth, for someone who was struggling to live by a three square meal a day and was trying so hard to work and then take from his little earnings to also give the orphanage he was brought up, he had never truly experience what playing a real game feels like not to mention a game forum.
