“In the left corner, there is a contestant Lia from Silver Hero Team, Indonesia.”
“In the right corner, there is contestant Leo from Team Max Squeeze, America.”
The enthusiastic sound of the MCs of the match instantly made the stage atmosphere boisterous. Both players immediately connect their bodies to the bodies of their avatars in the game.
Both players face each other.
They are players who know each other. None of them spoke to each other at the time. Both sides understand that in order to appreciate each other's resolve, there is no need for any more talks between them.
They will both fight as hard as they can to win without one being influenced by personal feelings.
With a warning from the match referee, the two players began to move against each other.
Lia moves with a fist and a heroine magic gun in her hand, while Leo appears to have an attack pattern that is almost similar to Lia's, except he is more active in moving his legs than his fists.
Impact after impact of fist and kick, shot after shot of magic bullets and physical bullets also collide with each other. Looks like the spirit of both players.
Until Leo activates his rage of bullet skill, Lia also seems to start being pushed.
“Lia, cheer up!” Luca muttered inwardly from behind the bleachers who watched the match.
As if Luca's feelings reached him, a mysterious force suddenly appeared within Lia. The woman did not give up and immediately activated her Evony silat clothing skill. He was also little by little able to compensate for the speed and impact of bullets in Leo's rage of bullet skill.
“Dor dor dor dor.” Lia shot her shot into the air passing through Leo just like that.
But Leo had seen this skill in Lia's previous matches so he didn't let his guard down. It's a bullet that can come back.
Thanks to his sharp-increased senses thanks to his skill, Leo easily dodged Lia's boomerang magic bullet attacks.
Now it was Leo's turn to shoot.
But this time it was no ordinary bullet. It was a bullet coated by wind element and nothingness.
However, Lia had already seen that Leo skill before.
Lia instantly knew that the magic defenses all over her body would be futile if hit by those bullets.
However, the bullets were fast enough and many in number to be perfectly avoided by Lia, thanks to the improvement in her abilities by Leo's rage of bullet skill.
For that bullet that she could not avoid, Lia also raised her fist, a fist that was purely physical strength reinforced by Evony's silat clothes.
But after all, Lia was a cleric, not a pure fighter. As a result, the impact of the attack was enough to inflict fatal damage on him.
Seeing the opportunity, Leo approached to attack. But it was a mistake.
Yes, Lia is not a fighter, but a cleric. Quickly, the injuries on his fist immediately healed thanks to his holy healing aura.
Lia immediately greeted Leo's attack with a raw bogeman.
Leo was thrown to the boundary of the arena wall.
Lia's attack didn't get there.
Lia immediately went back to attack Leo.
“Is it just this spirit of yours, Leo! Be aware! The only hope of the rest of your team is a!” Leo muttered to himself to burn the spirit in his own mind.
“Hiyaaaat!”
Now it's Leo's turn to kick Lia back with his death kick.
In the final seconds, Lia was able to fend off the kick with her magic protection aura.
And at that moment, Leo's rage of bullet skill ended. But unlike Lia, Lia was instantly able to heal herself through her magic gun.
The match was briefly continued with a fist fight and kicks interspersed with each other's shots.
Both players are equally talented. Their fighting style was quite similar to the combination of a gun and silat.
They both have a superior skill that deserves to take them to the top position. But at some point, everything is determined by the difference in stamina.
Leo ran out of stamina first because the effect of making his mana-coated bullets was enough to drain his mana, while Lia's magic bullets only needed to sacrifice a little mana. Leo's attack movements are quite brutal and inefficient so many waste unnecessary energy.
It was different with Lia. Under the guidance of the battle healer Angel, Lia learned how to fight efficiently by saving energy.
A healer is the last bastion of hope for injured party members, so a healer should not be injured at all and run out of stamina. A healer must be alert in seeing the circumstances around.
Rather than focus on defeating enemies with overpowering attacks, a healer should prefer to practice dodging attacks to save stamina. That difference in mindset is what now makes Lia superior to Leo.
Because it is helpless again with depleted stamina which may also be caused by his mental state that is too hot to win so it is not stable, but it is not, Leo was defeated by Lia in a closing impact.
Lia won over Leo in the second half of that first session's individual match.
***
Lia won in the first match.
After that, one by one other strong players won in the match.
As expected, Goruth from Team Lost Child won in the second match which means he will be the next opponent Lia.
Unfortunately in the fifth match, Kak Toni lost to a player named Omiroz from Team Goliath.
Brother Toni has been trying to activate his hypnosis skill, Sarwendah's envy skill. But unexpectedly, Omiroz had such strong mental strength that the hypnotization skill had no effect on him at all.
Then when Omiros counter-attacked through his lightning skill which suddenly rained down from above the sky, Brother Toni could not fend him off even though he had activated his Sarwendah gluttony skill.
As a result, his snake shield was destroyed and he was also gameover from the arena.
Everything was going as I thought and maybe for the other spectators as well.
But in the 19th match, the 13th favourite was defeated by the archer of Team Goliath. He is a long, thin samurai sword-like swordsman from a small country called Cameroon.
If thought through logically, there was no chance an archer could defeat a swordsman in close combat. But apparently, the archer of this Goliath Team was different.
As soon as the swordsman came attacking, instead of taking out his arrow, he fended off his opponent's attack with both daggers in his hand. The archer fights with the dagger instead of the arrow.
Unexpectedly, the archer was quite skilled at using a dagger even to the end of being able to surpass the sword ability of the thirteenth favorite player and can win the game.
Then there is also an interesting match between the holder of the eighth favorite who apparently is none other than the great shield from the Buginesian country that also applies the game The Last Gardenia as the basis of the game.
His opponent is one of the Metamorphosis members of an axe user named Connor.
However Connor floated his axe to the opponent's shield, it never wavered. Until the time when his stamina was exhausted, the great shield, Raihan, attacked back by banging his shield against the opponent.
In one rain, the opponent bounced then drenched in blood and then gameover from the match.
