Book 4, Chapter 27
The Ace (Part 2)
"AH!!"
I was taken by surprise. The
palm pushed me into the sky with a strange but deadly force.
I crashed
on the ground, coughing some blood. My whole body is filled with pain. I
managed to stand up with some hard effort, but just as I balanced myself, something
exploded on my back with a POOM, tearing up a big wound while causing my blood
to flush out.
"*Cough*
Ahh!..."
More blood came out of my mouth. I stumbled forward and dropped
to the ground, supporting myself with my hands.
"You...?"
Smokin' lost balance and knelt down as well.
"Heh ha ha--a-ark!"
He
tried to laugh but that wound on his stomach grew bigger.
"What a powerful
lance."
"Likewise.
Your kung-fu is good!" I forced a smile. "Pity, you still lost."
"We
don't know that yet." He seems pretty confident. "You took my [Mountain
Breaker], so you won't be moving for a while. Just surrender."
"Oh
really?"
I raised my right hand. A bolt stuck into his arm causing him to
scream.
"I can kill you like this, slowly."
"My skill can do more than that." He gave me a wicked grin.
Poom!
My arm exploded too. The bolt I was preparing was shot towards the sky instead.
d.a.m.n it another one? His skill isn't over?
"Good
job, I'll give you that." I still kept calm. "But you think I'll let
you win? No! I will not lose! Never!"
Smokin
smiled bigger, probably because he thinks I'm getting desperate. But my next
move removed that smile.
I stood up while shaking.
Pong! My left arm exploded. I'm
knocked to the right but I kept standing.
Pam! That's my left leg. Blood
covered the ground yet I didn't lose my smile.
"So how many times can you do this? Five? Six? Or--"
Bom! My right leg was torn up. I staggered, almost
falling down again.
The
audiences are silent. No one is applauding anymore. Everyone is trying to
confirm if I'm a monster.
Poof!
Boom! Pah! The ruptures are becoming faster. I feel like being pushed around by
a lot of people. My HP has dropped to the bottom, but the Collar of Protection
will still keep me alive, by pouring the life force of my companions into my
body.
However
the skill stopped before I need to rely on the collar. Looks like
the skill only tries to empty the target's own HP bar.
I'm
now covered in red but still standing. I gave my neck bone a crack and spoke:
"Not bad. Pretty scary skill. Almost killed me. " I raised two
fingers and smiled again. "Pity, just a teeeeny tiny bit left. Shame."
Then I regained my posture. "Night
Shade!"
Night Shade is already recovered. Thanks to Phiona's buff bonus, everyone
heals faster than average.
I aimed my left hand at the knight lance dropped by Smokin. The lance flew towards me. I grasped the weapon and gave it a wave-around.
"You're the best opponent yet, for getting me into this shape. I'm give you an
honorable death!"
I ordered Night Shade to Charge.
"[Pole Pick], aerial
execution!"
I pierced his body and leveraged Night Shade's speed to hurl
the lance away.
The
lance carried the helpless Smokin all the way onto the reviewing stand on the
audience area. It stuck into the platform and quivered for a while due to the
momentum, but Smoking is no longer moving.
Even the best technique in the world
won't win against absolute power. A good martial artist may defeat someone much
stronger than himself, but he's never going to beat a war tank just using his
skills or reflexes.
Still,
my victory was not guaranteed. If I don't have this collar, if I don't have my
lance, or if he used his best attack at the start of the battle...I'm not sure
I would have won. Time to learn some tricks I guess. I may have a lot of
superior weapons and companions but I'll need more than these to beat someone
like Smokin.
Smokin
has already turned into a white flash and gone reviving. I remote-retracted my
dragon lance and put it behind my back.
But I forgot players get revived where they
die in the arena. Smokin appeared again in front of me. Hm. This place is sure
suitable for sparring with other people.
He
looked at me with a scary expression.
"What? I won. You will leave me
alone now."
He
didn't say anything. He stared at me for several more seconds before he
suddenly jumped over and clamped onto my waist!
"Hero! I mean, miss
heroine! Take me with you!! I'm following you from now on!"
I
tried to run away but was dragged onto the ground instead.
"Help!" I
crawled towards the exit. He won't let go of my legs. "Halp!! Get away you
freaking gay! d.a.m.n it why isn't any beautiful girls doing this to me??"
"Oww!"
He was poked by the spike on my leg guard and released his grip. I immediately
stood up and kept distance with him.
He tried to get close again. I summoned my
wasps and asked them to form a barricade between us.
"Get
the h.e.l.l out of my face or I'll make it violent!"
"Lady
master!! Take me!"
"Are
you a stray dog or something? You have guild and lot of followers, why me?
You're famous here! And don't call me lady I'm a man HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO
TELL YOU!"
"Uh,
alright! So you're male, bring me along!"
"Urgh!"
This is getting too complicated. "Here, how about we call each other
brothers from now on?"
"Well,"
He paused. "Okay! Let's do this."
I
dismissed my wasps, he ran to me again.
"Stop!! No closer! I don't feel
good with dudes near my face!"
"Alright
then! Give
me a call if you ever need help and I'll always be there first!"
...I think I
can believe that.
"I
got it. Farewell!"
I dashed outside the arena as fast as I can, leaving a smoke trail behind me. I almost b.u.mped into Merciless, who's waiting at the gate.
"Why are you...?"
"Oh,
well, don't blame me for not watching your fight. Those fans are crazy. I
tried to cheer for you and they tosses me over the wall!"
"I...see.
I can totally understand that." I wiped a drop of sweat on my forehead.
"Let's get out of here. I've had enough. And I need to find a cute girl to
heal up my heart!"
We
stopped to take a break when we're far enough from the arena. Then someone almost
knocked me over again.
"What kind of b.a.s.t.a.r.d--" I'm full of anger now.
Can I even walk peacefully for once??
"Oof...So...Sorry...ugh!....
I...I didn't...mean that..."
The man is swaying left and right. I'm
surprised he's not falling down yet. He got really thick tongued and a red face.
He's drunk, for sure.
There's
no point in arguing with someone like this so I dragged Merciless to leave. But
the man somehow s.h.i.+fted in front of us.
"Oh h.e.l.lo beautiful sisters. Why...why
are you...all look the same? Tri-triplet?"
"Triple?"
I looked around. Nope, it's late and no one else is walking in these parts. Oh
come on. He drunk too much and he's seeing double images.
"Hey friend. Can
you stop being all wobbly? You're making me dizzy."
His
tongue is still not straight. "How...how did you know-know my name?"
"Your
name? I don't know your name."
"But
you just called me."
"Did
I? What's your name?"
"I...I'm
[Wobby]!"
"That's, well, a proper name for you." Merciless commented. "We'd better not
disturb this brewmaster. Let's go."
I
turned away. "So, enjoy your drink! We'll go now."
Man we'd better
hurry. That alcohol smell is making it hard to breathe.
He
followed us with that unstable step. And he actually followed us for some
distance before we can lose him! We're already outside the city gate. The night
has arrived but the visual is still good thanks the the moon. This is
specifically configured for those night s.h.i.+fters. Some people prefer to play at
late night.
Merciless
pulled on my arm again. "Can you tell me how to hatch eggs?"
"Oh
shoot. Another one!"
"...What
do you mean?"
"So many people are totally clueless about how to use companion eggs.
And you're yet another one."
"Huh.
Is that a surprise? I don't see many people with companions around, I guess it's
just normal. The slots are mostly useless, cause people can't catch any
monsters at all. It doesn't matter if you have one or two or five companion
quota."
"I
see... I can understand that. You got an egg from the quest reward right? I can
tell you now. Let's see it."
"Sure!"
He
followed my instructions and hatched the egg. An adorable black kitten jumped
out of it.
"...What's this? The quest is freaking impossible and they only give you a pet kitten?"
I can only admit that the look of this
little creature can probably seize the heart of most human being. But...
"Seriously! A cat??" Merciless is getting depressed. We were both expecting
something way better out of the difficult quest.
"Well,
easy for now. Check the status. Maybe it got some surprises." The cat
doesn't look any special but who knows. "Companions all look small when
they're hatched. Maybe it'll turn bigger."
As he read through the texts I see his expression getting brighter.
He jumped in place in the end.
"It's not cat! It's called [Winged Leopard (Alpha)]. Ha! A leopard. And a pack leader!"
He
looks like a kid who just found his new toy. Well, I can share that excitement
somehow.
"Alright
alright, stop it. Find somewhere private and dance however you like, don't do
it in front of the city gate. You'll get a bad name."
He
looked at all the people staring at him and went silent.
"Oops, sorry. I
was...overjoyed."
"Be
happy then. I'll log for now. I got schedule to level up with my friend
tomorrow morning. I don't want to sleep in."
"Level
up?" He gave me some uncertain glances.
"Tell me if you want something. There's no sissy here."
"Can
I join you?"
"Any
particular reason?"
"I kinda earned myself some enemies around here so someone's always trying to
kill me. And that's why I went on the quest alone. I don't have to worry about
that if I can find a group to grind together."
"Come then."
I told him the time and exited the game.
