The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 218 - Witch Vs Swordsman
'Tap 'em! Zraatt!'
The swordsman moved exactly to my prediction. He used the [Dash] skill which allowed him to shorten the distance quickly towards me.
It was a good decision to kill the witch immediately. However, since I already knew what He was going to do then the story would be a little different.
"The Fire Wall." I said casually as I pointed my wand at the ground in front of me.
'Wuuuooooshh!'
Instantly, that enormous red flame soared into a wall that protected me.
The swordsman who was doing [Dash] was now having trouble stopping his steps.
"Damn it! Why...." Shouted The man while trying his hardest to change the direction of his movements.
But it was all almost in vain because the wall of fire I made had a height of 10 meters more with a wall width of 5 meters.
Dodging it was certainly not an easy matter for someone who had previously ran with all his might to get close to me.
'Sreeett!'
In the end, the man decided to thrust his sword into the ground in order to stop.
A very right decision but also wrong at the same time.
The man who is now taking a breath because he managed to escape death, has been faced with a new problem.
'Shuuut! Duaarr! Duaarr!'
Several Magic Missiles seemed to be shooting out from behind the wall of fire. Of course I used it.
After passing through that wall of fire, the [Magic Missile] skill gained a bit of fire attribute and increased its damage.
Although a very simple skill, but with my current status has approached a monster....
[You've done 68,913 damage!]
[You have dealt 71,296 damage!]
[You've done 64,520 damage!]
Just from 3 pieces of Magic Missile, I was able to drain my opponent's Health Point by 80%. A very large number considering the match had just started for 15 seconds.
At this moment in the virtual world, the swordsman was being filled with great resentment and fury....
The spectators in the stadium as well as in their homes who decided to see my match cheered very much.
"Yahoooo!"
"What is that skill?! Isn't that just a low-level skill?!"
"Oio! You guys should see Eric's level! He had a level of 291 with a Rebirth total of 12 times!"
"What did you say?! Isn't that too high?! I even just did my first Rebirth yesterday!"
"No! Eric's level is not high. Have you forgotten Angie who currently stands at level 311 and Rebirth totals 18 times?!"
"Huh?! Is Angie that strong now?!"
The excitement happened. The entire audience debated various matters concerning this competition.
Like who is the strongest, who will win, who has the highest level and so on.
Not a few MeTubers who do Reviews or reviews about the players. They do Theorycrafting or make some kind of speculation based on the status and level and expertise of the Player who participated in this competition.
Although it sounds strange and unreasonable, a detailed discussion of a Player is very much in demand. Moreover, given the presence of FFA PVP that will provide a big advantage not only for players, but also spectators.
On the other side of Indonesia....
"Dine! Get him son!" Said a middle-aged man wearing a large wizard-style hat.
"Huhoo.... My son is amazing! Did you see how he fought that?" Said a middle-aged woman while wearing a white robe that was patterned in gold.
"So I can definitely win this year's competition!" Shouted the long-haired and unraveling girl while hugging her tall magic wand.
The three of them were Erik's family who were watching the show on television at their residence.
Without Erik realizing it, they turned out to be very supportive of him. You could even say very fanatical.
Return to the virtual world where the fight took place....
"Damn it! Goddamnit! Goddamnit! Do I have to lose with embarrassment in this first round?!" Shouted The red-haired man in annoyance.
"What's wrong? Caved already? Which of your words earlier could defeat me in a single slash?" I asked while trying to provoke him.
"Shut up! If I can swing my sword towards your neck then you will lose right then!" Shouted The man while glaring at me sharply.
I laughed lightly at his ridiculous manner.
"Hey friend. Why are you so serious? It's just a competition. Losing or winning is common. Don't take a heart like that." I said while giving a mocking gesture.
"Yeahyouuu! I will beat you now!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's beat me up."
Several tens of seconds passed with silence. As I stood relaxed while resting on my Oracle Staff, the man stood up while putting up his horses in a tense manner.
To be honest, seeing her behavior reminded me of myself a year ago.
'Did I look like that in last year's competition? No. At least I accepted my defeat cheerfully and realized my own weakness. Therefore I can study and stand here at the moment.' I thought in the day while watching the behavior of this enemy of mine.
Because time continues to pass without a clear fight, I also intend to make it easier for him.
Not because I want to give up. But because I was already confident of winning in this fight and wanted to try out the new skill I obtained after combining the three skills.
These were Rare Skill [Mana Shield], Epic Skill [Ice Shield] and also Legendary Skill [Water Manipulation].
By combining the three skills, I obtained a legendary skill called [Crystal Shield] according to Cathy's words.
I was much more astonished by Cathy's predictions that could be so accurate. Maybe next time I'll ask.
Now it's....
"You said that you could win as long as you could swing your great sword, right? You may. Please do as you please. Take it easy, I won't repay you once. But once you stop attacking or choose to surrender, I'll kill you immediately." I said calmly while standing relaxed.
Hearing my words, the man seemed tempted.
Without a reply or reply, he immediately shot towards me and prepared to swing his greatsword.
"Powered Slash!" He shouted loudly as soon as he stood right in front of me.
'Future Sight!' I cried out inwardly using a legendary skill that came from my Oracle Staff. The skill allowed me to see the prediction of the direction of the movement my opponent would make with the help of genesis.
The prediction was shown with a shadow of my opponent who seemed to come from the future. The number of shadows formed at this time there are two that indicate the existence of two possibilities that will occur. I made use of all that information and knew exactly which shadow would actually occur.
That was the sight that was seen behind my eyes that was now shining golden.
In less than half a second, I immediately prepared myself.
'Zraaat!'
Sure enough, he was able to swing his sword from left to right so quickly with an extremely terrifying force.
If only the sword were to precisely slash my neck, I would most likely receive fatal damage even if it was not to the death due to my Health Point which currently has reached 600,000 more.
But it's a pity....
I have seen the direction of my opponent's attack with the Legendary Skill [Future Sight] and installed the [Crystal Shield] skill at the right location.
'Klaaang!!!'
The sound of a clash between his greatsword and a translucent crystal shield floating in the air sounded so loud.
"W-what is it?!" Shouted in surprise the Swordsman with his eyes wide open.
In front of me, there was a system notification that made it clear what was going on.
[Crystal Shield has resisted the attack perfectly!]
[Crystal Shield has received 338,148 damage!]
[Health Point Crystal Shield now has 683,197 HP remaining]
Seeing the notification, I smiled widely.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you could beat me as long as you could swing your pride sword?" I said with a big smile and pointed my magic wand at him.
After that, I immediately finished him off with the [Lightning Strike] skill.
What a tough fight.
Even so, I obtained almost all the information I needed regarding this new skill of mine.
Along with that, I was declared the winner of this first round by the organizers of the event.
