New Life Online 87 Darkness And Sandstorm

"This is a tough fight for both of them, Scythus has dark spells to restrict everyone's eyesight and of course Siegriel has one too with his sandstorm. The fight will be determined by who has the better strategy and will to win." The old geezer commented.

"Did you hear that folks? This fight will be exciting and you guys keep watching the match! We will start now the second match!" Aika's energy never depletes.

Seig and I entered the arena and are ready to fight. I know he still hasn't recovered yet from Warden's defeat but I don't have a choice but to win.

"Ready, Fight!" Aika signaled the start of the fight.

Scythus (310)

Specialty: Mid Tier Fire, Dark, and melee abilities.

VS

Siegriel (380)

Specialty: Top-tier melee combat abilities with good earth(sand) manipulation spells.

Siegriel's armor and weapon are kind of like Zeth but different. He hasn't fought with full force yet in this tournament but I'm pretty sure the last time I saw him fight, he has some good tricks too.

"Scy, we owe you for what you've done for our guild but today, I will be the one who will defeat that arrogant Zeth." I can really feel that he's serious. This is the first time I see him lost his cool.

"I agree with what you want to do but I will not just let you win. I also have to settle things with Zeth." This is not the time to sympathize with other compet.i.tors. This is the time to take it seriously and win the match!

"SWORD ENHANCEMENT!" His greatsword was infused by some kind of spell and I can feel that it improved his weapon damage. I don't want to get hit by that. From the start of the fight, he already knew how to counter my pa.s.sive.

"YAAAAAAH!" He rushed towards me! What the heck? He didn't use any skill but instead, just rushed towards me to use normal attacks.

I drew my sword and prepared to exchange blow with him. It's a bad idea knowing he's really good with melee combat but I don't have a choice.

*SWOOOOOs.h.!.+ CLAAAANG! CLAAAANG!* He swings his great sword randomly hitting the floor and air. I dodge them hardly in time. I can't find an opening yet because his attacks don't have patterns. It's like he aimlessly trying to hit me.

*SWOOOOSH SWOOOs.h.!.+* And because he only uses normal attacks, his attacks only consume a small amount of stamina and no mana making him attack more. What the? Is he out of his mind? If I get hit by the attack, it won't do that much damage but that I can't say for sure because of the enhancement.

*SWOOOOs.h.!.+ BAAAAAAM!* Ughhh! He finally got me! He hit me at my left arm but thank G.o.d it didn't deal much damage but it still stings. Jeez. I don't need to waste time dodging! If I can't hit you with my sword I will hit you with my flame!

"FIERY EXPLOSION!" Take that!

*BAAAAAAM!* My flame spell hit him but after the smoke clears, he created a s.h.i.+eld made out of earth element. Tsk... but I will not stop from that!

"TWIN FIERY EXPLOSION!"

*BAABAAAM!* I shot him with two giant fireb.a.l.l.s again but he blocked it, it's all planned though.

I used my fire boosters to rush towards him and before the smoke clears, I am already behind him.

"PHANTOM ETHEREAL BLADE!" I used my sword skill that ignores his armor and directly attacks him with my dark sword!

"WAAAAAH! SIDE HEAVY SWING!" He tried to parry my attack with another attack but my phantom blade is enchanted with dark magic that ignores physical contact, so my sword didn't collide to his great sword and just pa.s.sed right through it. The enhancement spell must have been canceled.

"UGHHHH!" Sieg is hurt after getting hit by my attack! I hit him from his side waist. That would sting like crazy.

After getting hit he grabbed his side waist to stop the bleeding. Even with his armor, my sword successfully injured him good.

"BASILISK'S WRATH!" Just like the fight with Vulkhan, he decided to use his monster soul. My attack earlier dealt a lot of damage to him so not using his monster soul would mean that if I hit him a solid attack again, he will be dead for sure. His armor changed into an earth-based element and his weapon also is infused with earth enchantment. Sieg isn't fighting in his own way. This isn't the fight I was expecting.

"People of New Life Online, it seems Sieg is having a rough time. Scythus attacks are incredibly good. He can use his monster soul's abilities at its finest. What do you think Sir Maximus?" Aika asked the old geezer.

"I can say that Scythus is really on a different level when it comes to his tricks but we're not sure yet. Let's watch the fight and see what will happen."

"BASILISK'S SANDSTORM!" A huge sandstorm was created throughout the whole stadium. Unity barrier was once again created to make sure no one will get hurt and to contain the sandstorm to the arena only.

"SHADE'S WRATH!" I decided to use my Shade's form. I know it's enough to defeat him even with his full force.

"I know you'll use it too but I was prepared for that. SANDSTORM'S HUNTER!" I can't see him inside the sandstorm! The wind and the sand are so strong that I can hardly move even with this form. Shade's form can't help me because the sandstorm has magic elements on it which counter my shade's pa.s.sive.

*BAAAAAAM! BAAAAAM!* Ughh! What the heck?! I was. .h.i.t by attacks from out of nowhere! It's Sieg! He can move so fast inside the sandstorm making him more powerful and his attacks are hard to antic.i.p.ate. He hit my back a couple of times but my s.h.i.+eld blocked them.

"BAAAAAM!* Ughhhh! I can't dodge and even block it! My hp is dropping really fast because of his attacks! This time it's on my right shoulder.

*BAAAAM! BAAAAAM!* A couple of attacks. .h.i.t me in front of me without me noticing. Jeez! Is this what you call play fair? You're really p.i.s.sing me off!

"BASILISK'S DRY QUICKSAND EATER!" I can feel a large amount of mana! He is preparing to use his ultimate move but I can't see where it will come from!

"You leave me no choice then. SHADE'S MIGHTY FLAME OF DARKNESS!" I concentrated a large amount of mana and hit the arena floor with my spell! Yup that's right, the arena floor!

*KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!* My attack created a ma.s.sive explosion that created a shockwave throughout the whole stadium! The sandstorm was cleared and Sieg was caught by the shockwave and knocked out of the arena!

If I can't find you, then I'll attack the whole place.

"CRAAAAAAAAACK!" Even the unity barrier broke after getting hit but thankfully the shockwave stopped as soon as it cracked their barrier.

"Did you see that folks?! That was a powerful explosion! Sieg was knocked out of the arena but Scythus... where is Scythus? Did he kill himself from his ma.s.sive attack earlier?"

*SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+ BAAAAAAM!* I dropped from above and make a dramatic return.

"There he is! He's alive. The winner of the second match is Scythus, the infamous murderer!" Jeez, stop that annoying infamous murderer part.

People are stunned by what happened and you can't even hear a single annoying comment from them. I receive many injuries from his attacks but this time he's out of the arena and that means I won the match. I could have killed him but thankfully, it wasn't a direct hit. But in reality, if he could only deliver a direct hit to me, he could have killed me first. What are you thinking, Sieg?

"Ugh... It seems that you will be the one who will fight Zeth later on. I trust you to defeat him. Good luck." After the fight, I helped him up and returned to our area. Sure, I will, Sieg.
