Chapter 18: Critical



Megumi, Inumaki and Kamo are running away as Creepers chase behind them. They start exploding to create a chain reaction of explosions. The 3 manage to get away from the explosion range.

Hanami catches up to them and attacks them but again stops as Inumaki freezes her tick again.

Kamo shoots her with an arrow of Damage, knocking her back a little, while they run away.

Kamo: (We will repeat this to get away from it and get out of the dome. But, when will Inumaki reach his limit?)

They continue to run as Explosions go off behind them. They reach a cliff and Hanami blocks their path.

Megumi Spawns his phantom to attack Hanami.

Megumi: Inumaki, freeze it.

The phantom attacks it but Hanami punches the Phantom.

Inumaki: I should not use the command anymore.

Kamo: (He reached the limit?)

Hanami appears behind Kamo and punches him away.

Megumi: Are you alright?

Kamo: …

Megumi: (Inumaki can't use his command and Kamo is injured. This mob is on another level.)

He takes out a dark turquoise spawn egg but Inumaki stops him.

Inumaki: I wasn't sure it would work on him but let me try it. I can use the command just one more time. Let's hope I don't get banned.

Inumaki freezes the tick again and throws a TNT at Hanami, blasting her away.

Inuamaki: It worked. I thought it won't take damage from TNT but yeah, I guess it works.

Hanami gets up and is attacked by Maki from behind but she blocks the hit using her arm. Megumi uses this distraction to rush towards her and strike her in the face, damaging her.

Megumi: Its face appears to be taking damage. Probably because it's a creeper head. We can attack it there.

Maki: Since it is a powerful mob, I might use that.

Megumi Takes out a sword with the knockback enchantment and gives it to Maki.

Maki attacks Hanami with the sword, who blocks the hit but is knocked back from the impact.

Megumi's black wolf attacks Hanami who blocks the hit. Maki rushes towards her and attacks with her sword and Hanami blocks it but isn't knocked back.

Hanami: (It's not the enchanted sword?)

Megumi appears from behind and strikes her with the knockback sword, making her fall to her knees. Megumi and Maki exchange weapons and attack her, striking her head.

Megumi suddenly collapses as he notices he has been poisoned.

Maki attacks Hanami but she dodges her attacks and strikes her away.

As Hanami approaches Maki to attack her again, Megumi takes out the Dark turquoise spawn egg again.

Maki: Megumi don't. Our job is done here.

Suddenly Player and Todo attack Hanami from behind, knocking her away.

Panda arrives as well.

Todo: Panda, take Maki and Megumi away and get out of the Obsidian dome. We will take care of the mob.

Megumi: Player, don't…

Player: Megumi, don't worry.

Megumi: If you die again, I will kill you.

Panda takes Megumi and Maki away.

Player: You heard that, you ugly mob, that means I can't die.

Todo gets away from Player and Hanami.

Todo: I will be watching for now. Fight it, Player. Show me that you can use Critical. And until you do, I won't help you. I'm prepared to watch you die if you can't use Critical.

Player: Alright.

Hanami: (He is Herobrine's vessel. I need to be careful around him.)

Player: Before we fight, I need to ask you something. Are you friends with a green slimy witch?

Hanami: What if I say yes?

Player suddenly rushes towards Hanami and strikes her. Hanami counters with a punch but Player dodges it and attacks her with a powerful strike.

Player: (Critical!)

Hanami is knocked back from the strike. She spawns creepers and sends them to explode near Player. Player dodges the explosions. Todo walks towards Player and punches him.

Todo: My friend, your last attack was powerful, but it used anger. That's why it wasn't a critical. I know you are angry right now. Your friends are injured, and this mob interrupted our friendly duel. But while anger can increase the strength of our attacks, it can ruin our flow. Remember, Critical comes from being in the flow. Let go of that anger.

He punches him again.

Todo: Are you angry now?

Player: No. Thank you so much, Best Friend.

Player again walks towards Hanami.

Todo: (Critical. When a player is fighting and is in a flow where they are fighting purely on instincts, when their concentration is maximum, they enter the zone. At that moment, if a powerful strike is landed, it can land a critical hit. A critical hit causes increased damage to the opponent. No player can do it at will. But the player who has landed a critical, for them, fighting becomes a natural state for them.)

Hanami creates several explosions but Player dodges them all, rushes towards her, and stabs her, dealing Critical damage.

Hanami: …

Todo: (You did it. )

Player: That was a Critical?

Todo: Fighting is like cooking. Till now you were throwing moves as you pleased like making a dish with random ingredients. But just now you tasted an ingredient and discovered its taste. Now you know which ingredients to add to cook a fine dish. So brother. Shall we cook?

Player: Yes.

Hanami: Looks like I'll have to be more serious when fighting both of you.

Hanami spawns many creepers and sends them towards Todo and Player while having them explode. Both of them dodge the explosions and attack Hanami together who blocks both of their hits but is knocked back.

Hanami: (They are powerful.)

Player and Todo again rush towards her but she destroys the ground below them with an explosion, causing them to fall down.

Hanami lands below and attacks Player. Player dodges her hits and strikes her a few times. Todo attacks from behind but she blocks it. She hits him with a powerful strike, launching him away. She spawns creepers where he is going to fall and have them explode.

Hanami: (One down.)

Suddenly Hanami falls into the explosion, getting hit by it.

Player: Huh?

Hanami: I see. So you can use commands too?

Todo: Yes. Teleportation. I can switch places with other players and entities as well by targeting them.

Hanami: (What a pain.)

Todo and Player run towards Hanami. They dodge Hanami's attacks and attack her from both sides. Hanami attacks both of them at their blind spot but Todo switches with Player and both of them block her strike, then attack her. They constantly attack from both sides and switch when Hanami attempts to block them. Player attacks the upper half while Todo attacks the lower. When Hanami attempts to blocks them, they switch to attack from the opposite sides, damaging her. Hanami gets overwhelmed by the continuous attacks from all sides.

Hanami: (I can't escape.)

Player stabs Hanami dealing Critical damage.

Todo: (The current record of most consecutive Criticals is held by Nanami. The record is 4 critical hits.)

Player jumps and slashes Hanami's face, dealing critical damage.

Todo: (Brother, you have the potential to grow stronger than everyone.)

Player then slashes her stomach, dealing critical damage.

Todo: (3 in a row.)

Todo comes from behind, preparing to attack the legs while Player jumps to attack her head.

Hanami: (Same strategy. This time I will block it.)

Hanami protects her face from Todo's side while protecting the legs from Player's side. To her surprise, they don't switch places as Todo strikes her leg and Player strikes her head, dealing critical damage.

Hanami: (I have taken serious damage. If I continue to fight like this, I will die. I have no choice left. I have to use it.)

Hanami starts glitching.

Player: Todo! Get away from it.

Suddenly the Obsidian Dome gets destroyed. A hole is created in it and Steve enters inside. He is seen flying above the tournament area. Hanami stops glitching.

Hanami: (Is this as far as we can go?) I'm leaving.

Player: Hey!

Todo: Wait, brother. We need to get away from here.

Player: What?

Steve uses commands and creates a glowing super TNT with F written on one side and a command block design on the other side. He fires it at Hanami.

Todo: Get away brother.

Todo and Player run away with Todo teleporting both of them.

Hanami: (I have to get away from here.)

She begins running away but Steve fires the super TNT at her. The TNT Explodes destroying a large area of the Tournament ground. Everything that was in the blast radius gets destroyed.
