All at once, the blue team lost three of its playersâScary Phoenix, Stanley, and Sean died in Ranmaâs hands one after another. In the previous match, Scary Phoenix resisted for thirty minutes but this time, he was killed within ten minutes.
Again, only a dumbfounded Sophia was left.
The master, Ranma, silently removed his gear and stood motionless before Sophia.
Taken aback, Sophia nervously swung her sword and killed him. That being said, it took a while before she was able to kill Ranma.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Then, Sophia killed the rest of the red team.
No one made a sound.
Who was this Black Dragon Warrior?
It was as if it was specifically designed to defeat Scary Phoenix.
He was merciless when he killed Stanley, Sean, and Scary Phoenix. Yet, he was willingly letting Sophia defeat him?
In front of her husband, Scary Phoenix?
Did he not know Scary Phoenix was showing off in front of his wife?
Even Linus knew this and he just showed off for a moment before giving the spotlight to Scary Phoenix.
Where did this Black Dragon Warrior come from?
The situation in the match was on the verge of a frenzy.
In the end, everyone had gone into spectator mode to watch the two masters battle one-on-one.
On this day in the Swordsman Game, thousands of people joined to watch Scary Phoenix in action, and also the battle between him and Ranma. They wanted to see how Scary Phoenix was defeated again and again.
Sirius233 and Scary Phoenix had resurfaced on this day and everyone knew these two accounts belonged to Taylor Murray and his wife. However, both of them died a tragic death three years ago and the media back then were all reporting on this incident. Therefore, the person behind this account could not be Taylor Murray.
Furthermore, it was impossible for this account to be sold. When the TV series was first released, everyone joined the game just to see the Scary Phoenix. Back then, the game developer said this account would be a permanent display and would never be sold.
Now, everyone was curious as to who took over the Scary Phoenix account. Could it be someone from the game development company?
On another note, the new Scary Phoenixâs skills were fantastic as well. How could he be defeated?
In the match, the two of them fought fiercely. Scary Phoenix was repeatedly killed and respawned. They fought until their weapons broke, yet they still fought.
It was almost midnight when Sophia glanced at the clock. It was eleven-thirty and Carmen was sleeping soundly. Meanwhile, Sophia had turned down the volume to avoid waking her up.
It was time to end the gameâ¦
In the game, Sirius233, who was watching the game, suddenly said, âDaddy, itâs late. Youâd better go to bed.â
âDaddyâ?
At once, everyone was shocked.
It was such a pity; it turned out the account really was replaced.
Sirius233 was beaten so badly that she called the opponent âDaddyâ!
He would rather die than give in back then.
At once, the gaming group blew up.
âSophia, who are you calling Daddy? How could you be so shameless? You really did lose your memory and youâre not the Sophia that I know! Youâve changed!â Stan wrote.
âBut this guy is really good and Iâd like to call him Daddy too!â Little Kitten added.
Upon reading this, Sophia replied with an eye roll GIF.
Meanwhile, Linus continued watching the battle. Scary Phoenix was once again cornered by Ranma and it was only a matter of time before he was killed again.
This Ranmaâ¦
For some reason, Linus was suddenly reminded of someone.
This person created the worldâs first online game almost thirty years ago, when the internet was still not as advanced.
He was also the worldâs first online gamer.
Now, the Cethosian gaming community worshipped him as the Grandmaster.
That person was none other than Cooper Mitchell.
Once this was speculated, Ranmaâs behaviors made sense.
Mercilessly defeating Scary Phoenix, it seemed that every move carried a strong sense of mockery from a powerful father-in-law to his pretentious son-in-law. Ha! There goes your big moment to look cool!
Linus was at a loss for words.
Finally, a scream was heard and Scary Phoenix was defeated once again.
After being killed, Scary Phoenix stopped challenging him. Instead, he said, âDad, itâs getting late. I will challenge you again another day.â
The audience who was watching this epic match were baffled and the silence became deafening.
Did they hear that right?
Did they see it correctly?
The Swordsmanâs Number One Warriorâthe godly Scary Phoenixâwas beaten and had to call âDadâ in surrender?
Unfortunately, Ranma did not appreciate Scary Phoenixâs words. Putting his sword back into the sheath, he retorted coldly, âIâm not your Dad.â
Then, he left the game and disappeared before everyoneâs eyes.
Scary Phoenix had initially wanted to show off in front of his wife but now he was just disappointed.
Without a word, he left the game as well.
One after another, everyone, including the audience, left the game.
It was a shock to everyone that Scary Phoenix was repeatedly defeated. Immediately, the news spread like wildfire.
Taylor Murray who had âdiedâ three years ago was suddenly making headlines again. Not only him, but also the gaming account âScary Phoenixâ as well. The gaming account was popular too; after all, the TV series with the same name was still in existence.
Although everyone had left the game, the gaming group was still lively.
Stanley was the first to curse in the group. âUncle Michael, youâve become so unethical! Youâve changed;
youâre not the Uncle Michael that I admired! Youâve all changed!â
Michael remained silent.
Meanwhile, Sophia looked through the chat list. There were seven people in this group so it was easy to search for someone. Soon, she found a Messenger user named âEddie Fletcherâs Original Husbandâ.
This nameâ¦
Then, she glanced at her own username. âTaylor Murrayâs Original Wifeâ.
These matching usernamesâ¦
His avatar was a picture of her facing the sky with her hair down, while her avatar was a picture of him yawning.
It was obvious that these avatars belonged to soulmatesâ¦
It was too bad that Sophia could not remember anything at all and did not recall these photos too. Sophia had completely forgotten everything.
For a moment, she stared at Michaelâs Messenger and wanted to add him. However, she felt that she was coming on too strong if she added him now.
Shouldnât a girl be more reserved and let the man make the move?
After staring at the avatar for some time, she decided not to add him.
On the other hand, Stanley was still cursing in the group when Sean finally spoke. âStan, do you remember the Grandmaster of the gaming community?â
âOf course! Wasnât it Daddy Cooper Mitchell?â
He was the Grandmaster of the gaming community, so Stanley was willing to call him Daddy. Moreover, he was Sophiaâs father.
âWho does that Ranma look like to you?â Sean added.
At once, Stanley went silent, as if he had just pieced everything together.
The group fell into a moment of unspeakable awkwardness.
Immediately, Stanley took back everything he said earlier.
Sophia was still staring at the group chat in a daze when Cooper sent her a message. âGo to sleep, Darling. Weâll continue the game tomorrow.â
At that moment, Sophia was speechless.
It was just a game, after all⦠Was it necessary to be so merciless?
