Chapter 169: Sword Waves.
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
Ichiro was on the defensive end.
He was blocking the attacks nicely, but he didn't get any perfect block, which caused his HP to fall down.
In Arena.
You and your opponent will have an equal amount of HP, but the HP wasn't with numbers.
Instead, it was with percent.
[KingOfGames - 97%]
Ichiro has only 97% HP left, while Dragon has 100%
The HP will decrease depending on if the attack is fatal or simply scratch.
The fatal attack alone can reduce the HP all the way down to 0%
The spectators were shocked to see the legendary King being pushed around.
In their eyes, Dragon's status skyrocketed.
But there were a lot KingOfGames hardcore fans who were confident that King will win.
*SWOOSH*
*CLANK*
Another powerful sword swing came from Dragon, and Ichiro barely managed to block it.
Ichiro hasn't made a single attack yet.
No one understands why, but it looks like he is waiting for something.
Dragon isn't stupid, he knows that Ichiro is waiting for a counter-attack, but he is a Rank 1 player in Arena.
He is not foolish enough to make any big openings.
[KingOfGames - 95%]
His HP is already 95% which would be very disastrous.
5% difference in fights again other pros is massive!
Dragon still didn't get arrogant— he was cautious and concentrated.
Ichiro could respect it.
'He is not some arrogant kid— he has brains at least.' Ichiro now knew why Dragon was Rank 1.
'Time to see how my Mechanical Skills are— I hope I am not rusty…' Ichiro thought— his demeanor in the real-life got instantly more serious!
He grabbed his console tighter and started moving faster than ever before during this fight!
Dragon swung his sword while his shield was guarding his figure.
But then, with incredible speed, Ichiro's shield appeared in front of the sword.
*CLANK*
Dragon's sword hit the middle of the shield, and he instantly knew what this meant…
'FUCK!' He cursed internally, and then messages popped up in front of him.
[Your Opponent Did Perfect Block!]
[You Are Stunned!]
[Your Legendary Status Reduces The Stunned Effect!]
That is the difference between legend and myth.
Legendary Status only reduces, while Myth Status completely nullifies it.
Dragon's avatar became stiff and slow.
Everyone noticed that the tide of the fight had changed!
Ichiro quickly swung his sword while Dragon desperately tried to block it.
*CLANK*
Dragon was sent sliding a dozen meters, and his HP started decreasing until it stopped at 90%!
Now Dragon is 5% at a disadvantage!
Dragon's Legendary Status did its work and nullified the rest of the stunned status.
But now, the rest of the match will be extremely difficult for him.
Ichiro was already attacking.
Dragon took a deep breath.
In real life.
A pale-looking man was sitting in front of the TV.
His room was messy, filled with trashes and empty food cans.
But his room was massive! The house he was living in was even bigger. It was an enormous mansion!
It was as expected because top players are very rich.
The rest of the mansion looks clean, except the dust which was piling up.
Dragon obviously doesn't move much and only stays in his room, which is very dirty currently.
He was wearing an old-looking t-shirt which was filled with holes and shorts. His long black hair was very messy, and his eyes looked very concentrated.
His fingers started moving like they were possessed, and his Avatar began to move even faster!
Back in the game.
Ichiro quickly put his shield as a block, but Dragon's sword suddenly curved and appeared in front of Ichiro's face!
Ichiro quickly crouched, and the sword barely missed his head.
Dragon used his shield and hit Ichiro's shield with it.
Ichiro was sent flying a few meters, and he rolled a few more meters until his Avatar's momentum stopped, and he could stand up again.
Dragon was already attacking and unleashed a barrage of sword slashes.
Ichiro quickly used his great agility of his character and jumped backward.
*CRASH*
His previous spot exploded, and a small dust cloud appeared.
From the dust cloud, Dragon appeared— he swung his sword even though Ichiro wasn't near him.
Dragon's sword started glowing in crimson color, and a massive sword wave appeared in front of him, which started flying towards Ichiro!
[Dragon's Roar!]
Ichiro's body started glowing on red, and his sword looked like it was alive.
He did a wide swing towards him, sending his own sword wave towards Dragon's sword wave!
[Life Destructor!]
*CRASH*
The two sword waves collided, which caused a massive explosion!
Ichiro quickly put his shield as a block but was sent flying to Arena's wall.
Dragon quickly lowered his stance and put his shield as a block.
But he was sliding backward without stopping, but the explosion soon stopped, and half of the arena was destroyed!
Ichiro climbed from the debris of the wall and sighed after seeing his HP.
[KingOfGames - 71%]
Dragon looked at his own and sighed relief.
[Dragon - 74%]
The tide of the battle changed once again!
…
''Dragon is leading once again!'' An excited shout came from the luxurious room.
Spiritless nodded, ''He is good.''
Undying shrugged, ''Decent.''
''King is a slight letdown,'' Spiritless said with pursed lip.
But then Undying chuckled, ''Don't underestimate him— otherwise you will embarrass yourself.''
''You have always defended him— why is that?'' Spiritless asked curiously.
Undying smiled mysteriously.
There is a reason.
He is one of the few… Who managed to see KingOfGames doing his Quest!
He was currently doing the same quest but in the end… He managed to see KingOfGames defeating the Final Boss first, and the Boss was 30 levels higher than him!
At that moment, he saw the full prowess of KingOfGames Mechanical Skills…
And he knows that… Ichiro is barely trying against Dragon so far!
If he wanted to, Undying was confident that he would still have 100% HP left!
'Is he King fanboy as well?' Spiritless was curious.
Usually, the King's hardcore fans are the first ones to defend him, and their insults can make even adult men cry.
But for some reason, Undying is very confident that King will win this match.
Spiritless admits that Dragon is the best Arena player in Night's End, and he should, in theory win against King.
But Dragon isn't the best player in Night's End— it is King so far!
'This will be an exciting finale…'
