New Life Online 63 Aurora

-Near Order of Light City North Gate-

Ugh! Not good! Behind me are the flying raven woman, third G.o.d with his flaming horse, and Zeth full of support buffs increasing his speed from Mari. But this time I will take the first place!

"SWOOOSH SWOOOOSH SWOOOs.h.!.+" We are making sounds like jets. Fast enough to even tear the wind that pa.s.ses through us.

"d.a.m.n you brat! Why aren't you going down! Take this!" She's aiming for me because I'm at the front! d.a.m.n you, woman! I'm going to take the prize!

"SWOOOOSH SWOOOs.h.!.+" The projectiles didn't reach me because the speed of the weapons is not fast enough to catch up to me.

"Ugh! d.a.m.n it!" She's really p.i.s.sed.

"ARCHERS! FIRE!" The other guilds shot their arrows towards us but there's no point in using range attacks.

"SWOOOSH SWOOOSH SWOOOs.h.!.+" Their attacks were all misses. They even shot us spells but it didn't reach us.

"People of New Life Online! They are getting closer and closer. Just a little bit more and we will see who'll win the tournament! The Infamous Scythus is leading by a small gap, behind him are Siren, Raven's guild leader, Vulkhan, the Obsidian's Pit Guild Leader, and Zeth the Order of Light's Strongest Warrior!" Aika reported. Infamous? Really? That's how you introduce me around the world? Jeez!

"Go Zeth! If you win, I'll treat you later at WcDonalds!" The old geezer said. That's a good way to motivate your fellow guildies.

"Jeez, you are not supposed to cheer your own guild as a commentator, Mr. Guild Leader." That's what you get old geezer!

Ugh! My health is dropping really fast!

"RAVEN'S WRATH! SKYDIVE!" The Raven woman used her Monster's Soul! She's moving so fast while diving from above! She's really aiming for the first place!

"FLAME SALAMANDER'S WRATH! OVERHEAT!" Holy cow! The third G.o.d unleashes a ma.s.sive firepower behind him that improved his speed! It was like a real giant fire booster!

"IRON KNIGHT'S WRATH! ULTIMATE FINAL BULL CHARGE!" Even Zeth used his Monster's Soul! d.a.m.n, that's a long name for a technique! It's quite embarra.s.sing to say too, not to mention he shouted really loud while chanting the move's name. Maybe he's really focused.

d.a.m.n it. My body is almost burning from the friction. I need to do something too!

"Just use me and transform to your shade form so your body will be also immune to the friction..." You're right Shade! Thanks!

"SHADE'S WRATH! SHADOW FORM!" I shouted. My body was again surrounded by darkness and transformed my armor into dark scaled armor. It's really cool.

This time I sped up really fast! Being immune to the physical properties of the wind, I traveled so fast I don't even know what's going on.

Shadow form also let me fly without using my fire boosters. But it drains my mana really fast! Though, it's enough to reach the city gate without any problems.

The race continued and they still can't overtake me. With my high agility, accessories with movement speed and overall spells, there's no way they can overtake me! I'm going to win!

In a blink of an eye... The time slowed that even with full speed. It feels like I'm not even moving... What is going on?!

Eh?! A girl running at full speed while we're moving at slow motion is heading towards the City Gate! This is the first time I saw her! What is happening?! All of us are moving so slow. The raven woman also saw what is happening and what on earth is going on?!

Is this her ability? The elemental magic can provide various buffs and effects but slowing the time? This is not fair!

As she entered the city and won the first place, the time moved fast again. I also entered the city gate in a flash.

Ugh! I didn't win... This sucks. My party is already waiting for me. I've got a head of a yeti with full of teeth so we are all qualified.

"Now we have a winner! The Queen of the Icy Mountain is Miss Aurora, the strongest of the Thirteen G.o.ds and the Chrono Princess! She will also receive the reward from the game company! Give her a big round of applause fellas!" The crowd started to cheer and celebrate her win. It feels like she didn't even break a sweat.

The strongest huh... That explains a lot.

"We will now talk to Miss Aura about her win. So, Miss Aurora, this is the first time we saw you in the game. Why did you choose to show up now?" Aika asked. That's a good question.

"h.e.l.lLLOOOO!" Her voice was really loud. She might be too excited.

"I was busy traveling the world of New Life Online but I heard that the tournament today is going to be more exciting because most of the Thirteen G.o.ds will join. They didn't disappoint me. Today, I will also take the top prize in this tournament. Now I can pay my rent. Hahaha!" Her laugh burst real good. Did she just say rent?

"Oh, Haha. Of course, of course. How about you tell us your motivation for winning the Elimination round?" Aika asked again.

"Hey Old Geezer! You should treat me at WcDonalds later! I haven't eaten for a long time, chicken and fries would really be a good meal! You can deliver it to..." She was stopped by Aika. One of the game's policies is not to tell your address in public to avoid real-life crimes or conflicts.

Though why the heck is she talking like that? Is she drunk?

"Hahaha... Well, that's enough interview I guess. Anyway, we also got all the names of all the players who pa.s.sed the Elimination round. The ones who didn't pa.s.s, we're sorry but you can try your luck again next month. The start of the tournament will be around ten pm so you guys take your time and rest. You still have a big fight later." Aika announced. So the real fight will be later huh. But d.a.m.n, I don't think I'm going to win this tournament with that Aurora girl around.

"Too bad Scy, we really thought you could win the first prize. Well, the good thing is we are all qualified to enter the tournament later. Thanks for doing the errand. Haha." Elou said. Yeah, all of us can enjoy the tournament later.

"You were cool back there and you owned all the other guilds. That Aurora talks weird though." Yeah, you got that right, Akko.

"We are qualified, that is all that matters." Lili, as usual, tried to comfort me too.

"Haha. Thanks, guys. Anyway, let's log out for a bit and take our dinner. I'm really hungry." I suggested.
