New Life Online 203 King/Queen Of The Party I

"How did the small guy defeated five guys by himself? Will you please let us see the replay, Mr. Techy Guy?" Aika asked the guy that monitors the CCTV around the house.

"What on earth? He used a sword and he moved so fast that it's like I'm watching the in-game battle, with formal attire! Oh... wait, let's check his background maybe we'll know something." She said and then checked her tablet...

"It says here that he's with the Moonglow Family, with Mr. Siegriel and Ms. Maisie. Leion Moonglow is the successor of the Moonglow Dojo. He's good with the secret martial arts of their family but unfortunately, the Master of the Dojo, which is his grandfather, has only one student and it's only Leion. It's not that people don't like their style of martial arts but people stopped learning martial arts after the release of new technologies and other inventions. But as you can see, Leion is really something. You don't want to mess with the Moonglow Family." She explained. That's why he's a beast!

"Another three kills from Leion! On the other hand, Aurora joined the fight with the others in the other rooms and just defeated four! It seems she's also aiming for the secret prize!" And now, even Aurora joined the fight. I heard she also do some physical training...

"Two headshots from Elou this time! They're just now hiding from him!" And that archer is making a fuss too...

"There are also fights from the other rooms and no one's dead yet. It seems like, Ayako and her younger sister are having problems with the compet.i.tion! They are being hunted down by Briam, Arvin, and others!" Going for the girls huh...

"Both girls don't seem to have any weapons with them so they are the targets of the others and it seems that the other members of the Other Side Guild form an alliance to win the match!" That's... really cheap of you guys...

*BOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!* What now?! I heard explosions nearby!

"What the heck happened?! Akko and Lili defeated all of them at once by throwing a paint bomb and pulverize them! Oh, I mean covered their opponents in paint blood!" I guess they can fight after all.

"Suddenly, Lili stabbed her sister in the heart!" Oh, Lili...

"That's what I call "Sister Love"!" Oh, Aika...

"Jay, on the other hand, is using both the gloves weapon and the sword and killing nearby compet.i.tors! We heard he practice some grappling martial arts so he's not only good with swords but close combat too!" I should not get hasty now, they can decrease the compet.i.tors while I wait for the right time.

"I can guarantee you, folks, that this is live and people are watching! So do your best and kick the h.e.l.l out of your own guildmates and opposing guild!" That's really good advice when kids are watching...

For a couple of minutes, the compet.i.tion is getting quieter. It seems that only those who are capable are left.

"This is the list of dead people. And there are only a few people left from both guilds. It seems like the match will end faster this time. The only partic.i.p.ants left are Aurora, Lili, Jay, Elou, Leion, and two hidden others." So Zia and Elle didn't partic.i.p.ate huh. I guess Zia can't really partic.i.p.ate and Elle is still a kid so it's a no no...

"This time, Elou and Leion finally met! Elou tried to finish Leion off with a sneak shot but it failed after Leion deflected it! Kudos for that block!" A martial arts kid against us huh... I don't think I have a chance really...

"Elou tried shooting Leion but Leion was able to deflect and dodge all of them! If this is happening in-game, I'm pretty sure that arrows are more powerful and faster! Leion is getting near him! This is not looking good for Elou!" She expressed her excitement. Their fight isn't far from here. I can feel their presence. I have to get there and at least do something...

"Elou's shots were useless against Leion! But Elou is on the second floor. Can Leion reach him in time before Elou really can land a hit against him?!"

I'm getting near. I can sense their movements. I have the daggers on me, I guess this is enough.

"Leion jumped straight towards Elou and it's so fast! Is it just me or is he defying gravity?!" Is this some kind of Kung Fu or something?! Because this is really unrealistic! (This is a fantasy light novel for a reason XD)

I reacted in time and threw two daggers targeting both of their heads at the same time. I'm going to hit two birds with one stone with this, I hope.

*SWOOOOOs.h.!.+ SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+* Take that!

*CLANG*! What?! Leion deflected it with his sword!

Elou shot him to the heart but he blocked it with his left arm! This little guy won't like to lose at all!

Elou managed to evade my dagger too! Did he saw me attack him or did he just evaded it with his instincts!

*SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+* What the?! Elou tried to shoot me but fortunately, I was able to hide behind the wall! That was close and Elou doesn't want to lose too. This is a fight between a martial artist and a world-renowned archer...

"Wow! That was a superb show of evasion skills! We even saw Chara intervene but she failed to land the finis.h.i.+ng blow! I'm still wondering if Chara really is blind or not for doing something unexpected moves!" Of course, I'm blind...

"Leion managed to get close to Elou and he's preparing to kill him!" I have to fight Leion if Elou loses on this one.

*CLANG* Elou blocked Leion's attack with daggers! Elou's not only an archer but also good with daggers!

Leion attacked Elou multiple times but Elou's also good with deflecting attacks!

"In the other room, Lili, Aurora, and Jay have met! How would they fight with each other?!" There's an on-going battle too somewhere.

Elou's trying to counter with some fast slashes but they both have good fighting abilities.

Elou hopped back and tried to shoot Leion a couple of times but as soon as he drew his bow, Leion's already within his range!

*BAAAAM!* Leion destroyed Elou's bow and the shot was canceled! Someone should really stop this beast!

After they land, Leion is preparing some sort of technique with his posture!

*SWOOOOOs.h.!.+* Leion moves so fast in a different direction with no pattern at all and suddenly slashed Elou!

Elou blocked the attack with both of his daggers but...

*SPLAs.h.!.+*

Blood splashed to Elou's neck but his sword didn't touch it! It landed somehow but It's impossible. The only way to make it happen is to bend his sword like the crescent shape!

"Elou was defeated by Leion! That was a close fight and definitely a good one! Let's see the other fight between the other three partic.i.p.ants!" Their fight ended so I'm pretty sure he will go against me!

"That's a good move Leion. Just like in-game. I'll get back to the stage now. Good luck." Elou said.

"Thanks, Brother Elou. This is the first time I had trouble fighting someone, if you use real arrows, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by now." Leion replied.

"Yeah, the arrows' speed was drastically reduced by its component. Anyway, I'll see you soon." Elou replied and walked away.

Thankfully, Leion's still resting for a bit and there's still a battle going on somewhere.

"Lili is just hiding behind the fountain while Jay and Aurora are exchanging blows! Aurora's slashes are faster and more precise but Jay has more powerful impact attacks because of his good handling! Unlike in-game, Aurora can't use her overpowered pa.s.sive skills so this time, she will only rely on her technique and her own ability." Aika announced. How do they fight well in real life with all that time they spent in-game?

I can't see or sense their on-going fight but I can tell that I'm screwed when Leion attacks me. I've waited for a while and it seems that Leion is starting to move. I can tell that he's going towards where I am hiding now.

"I guess it's time to reduce the number of partic.i.p.ants in the game and also surrendering is also a choice you know," Leion said while he's going towards my direction. I can tell that he's good when it comes to close combat but I also know some good self-defense techniques. I will do my best!

Suddenly, he stopped moving. I don't know what happened but I can tell that Leion is somewhat moving like he can't see anything...

"What happened?! The power got cut off and we can't see anything! Thankfully, the party has its own generator but the other part of the mansion don't. We can't see what is happening but I'm pretty sure, this is not just a coincidence but one of the plans of that one unknown player! Is it the Reaper and he's using his signature move "Darkness"?! We will wait for the result!" Aika announced. So that's what happened...

*CLANG!*

I've heard a clash of swords. I didn't feel any presence but I can tell that Leion just exchanged blows with someone! I've tried to recognize him but I can't tell within this range.

"I knew it. There's only one guy I know who would use such a trick." Leion is not impressed with what is happening.

"Good reflexes Leion. Good job defeating Elou." This guy sounds like Scy.

"The last time we fought was in the game and I lost. Can you defeat me with your real-life fighting ability?" Leion is a master of his craft while Scy, on the other hand, is a tricky one but I don't think he has some kind of special ability other than making people hate him.

"Let's see about that."
