Chapter 165: Arena.
''The Event will happen in Lessencave, and the first event will be a monster invasion. Once they have taken care of all the monsters, it's your turn to make an appearance.'' Rosenword said with a calm smile.
''Hmm, simple,'' Ichiro said with a wry smile.
Rosenword stood up and put his hand forwards, ''It was nice meeting you— we will send the rest of the details with email.''
Ichiro shook his hand and nodded.
*CRKK*
Rosenword's body disappeared into a flash of lightning.
…
In Hotland.
Lex exited the game.
He wiped his sweat and tried to calm his rapid heartbeat.
He was extremely nervous meeting the legendary King.
He was also a huge fan of King, like every other player in Night's End
This will be a moment he can use to brag with his friends, children, grandchildren.
After he calmed down.
He exited his office and went back to the room with thousand screens.
The workers were anxiously waiting for his arrival.
Lux entered the room and walked to the middle of the room.
The workers were amazed that Lux could stay calm after meeting the legendary King.
They would have fainted.
''Make sure there aren't any bugs when the extermination mission in the new Continent begins,'' Lux said simply.
''A-Are you sure we should focus on that? M-Maybe, the players will defeat King?'' Dana said with a slightly shaky tone.
All of the workers snorted and shook their heads.
''We have done all we can do for the event, now we need to make sure that the exploration of new Continent isn't a failure.'' Lux said simply.
'There is no way they will win against King… Even if whole player base attacks.' Lux thought with confidence.
…
''Can you play Arena?'' Azura asked with her cute tone.
''Arena?'' Ichiro raised an eyebrow.
She giggled and pointed at the screen, ''That skull one.''
Ichiro used his controller and clicked the skull logo.
An interface appeared in front of him.
[Arena!]
[Solo]
[Duo]
[War]
[Training]
''What is this?'' Ichiro asked curiously.
''Solo is 1v1 fighting in a small arena, the duo is 2v2 fighting, and War is for Guilds,'' Azura replied.
Ichiro nodded and pressed [Solo]
The screen went white until Ichiro's avatar appeared in the middle of a dark room.
There were words on top of his avatar.
[KingOfGames - Level 415 - Points: 0]
''What do the points mean?''
''It is the points you have gathered in the Arena. Higher points, stronger your opponents will be.'' Azura replied with a smile.
Ichiro nodded, and soon another message popped up.
[Match Found!]
The screen became white once again, and Ichiro's avatar appeared in the middle of a small arena.
Soon, another flash of bright light appeared, and a figure appeared some distance away.
The figure had leather armor with a stone sword and wooden shield.
Words were floating on top of his head [Rock956 - Level 34 - Points: 0]
He arrogantly pointed his sword towards Ichiro's avatar, but when he saw his armor and the name floating on top of his head…
He paled.
''K-King?'' He said with a shaky tone.
[Battle Begins in 5!]
[4…]
[3…]
[2…]
[1…]
[FIGHT!]
Rock956 turned around and started running away.
''THIS IS MY FIRST ARENA MATCH, WHAT THE F—'' His words were cut off because he soon found his body being cut in half!
Ichiro's sword wave pierced through him effortlessly and cut the rest of the arena in half as well.
[MATCH OVER!]
[Winner - KingOfGames!]
Ichiro looked at his interface and saw his points increasing.
[Points 0 -] 35]
[Next Match]
Ichiro pressed the [Next Match] button, and a new match was soon found.
He appeared in the middle of the arena once again.
A figure was already waiting for him.
He had iron armor with an iron sword and a wooden shield.
[Nice69 - Level 69 - Points: 69]
He saw his opponent being KingOfGames and didn't react…
5 seconds…
10 seconds…
15 seconds…
Ichiro was waiting, but his opponent didn't do anything until a message popped up in front of him.
[Your Opponent has given up!]
[Points: 35 -] 71]
Ichiro's eyebrow twitched, and he went to the next match instantly.
Azura was trying to not laugh, but small sounds of her laughter were heard.
''Hmph.'' Ichiro snorted and grabbed her waist.
''Kyaa!'' She was surprised and soon found her sitting in Ichiro's lap.
Ichiro's head was on her shoulder, and he looked at the screen while his controller was on Azura's lap.
Azura blushed, but she felt very warm and secure in his embrace.
Soon Ichiro's new opponent was found.
[DaoistJbl4498598409 - Level 74 - Points: 120]
His armor was blue-colored, with iron shoulder pads, iron heavy sword, and his body was very muscular, big enough to intimidate anyone.
He looked at his opponent and narrowed his eyes.
He thought that he didn't see correctly.
But when he looked at his opponent more clearly…
''KYAAAA!'' A girlish scream came from the player.
Ichiro's eyebrow twitched.
''KYAAAAAAAAAA!'' DaoistJbl4498598409 didn't stop screaming.
Ichiro waited for her/him to stop screaming, but after the battle had begun… DaoistJbl4498598409 was still screaming.
Minutes later, suddenly the screaming stopped, and a message popped up in front of him.
[Your player was disconnected!]
[MATCH OVER!]
[Winner - KingOfGames]
[Points: 71 -] 140]
Ichiro rubbed his forehead.
Azura's body was trembling, she was biting her lip, and her face was red.
Ichiro could see her trying to hold her laughter.
''This is stupid…'' Ichiro pouted.
Finally, Azura couldn't hold it and started laughing.
Her heavenly laugh echoed in the room and in the corridors.
The servants only smiled gently. Miss Azura has been depressed the past few months after Ichiro went to the tournament, and now they are glad that the cheerful girl is back.
Ichiro tried to play Arena for another hour, but every match ended the same way.
Either his opponents fainted or simply gave up.
Only once he had to use his weapon, and it was in the first match.
An hour later, his points had increased by a great margin.
[KingOfGames - Level 415 - Points: 2967]
Apparently, the pro players are around 10000 Points.
News of KingOfGames playing the Arena was spreading like wildfire.
Suddenly the player count in Arena skyrocketed.
They wanted to play against him! Especially the pro players.
And also… The pro players who are competing in Night Tournament joined the Arena.
Suddenly, the Arena ended up becoming an unofficial tournament.
The pro players are watching the rankings with great interest.
KingOfGames has already reached Rank 2925 worldwide, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the top 100.
Top 1-100 are only fighting against each other to keep things fair for others.
Their skill level is so high that it would be unfair for players in the top 200 to face against them.
They waited with excitement as KingOfGames quickly rose the ranks…
