"It's easy as cake as I expected."
With the duel ended, that does mean that my turn to try out the device has ended... I am forced to take a seat on the arena all alone while everyone got their turn in a massive battle royal styled fight... Right beside me, is someone with the Title of 'Game Master'. Someone with a very high status and power that they can be considered god in the game.
"I guess you don't need to hide your real name huh. Hanamommy."
Right beside of me is none other than Hanami. Using her Game Master account so that the lobby can be managed directly by her. I am kind of shook to see that she's using her Game Master account because it's the first time I seen a proper Game Master. In the past, people are hiding their identity as the game master so that their identity cannot be exposed... But she just doesn't give a damn it seems like.
"No I don't. After all, my job is more on the outside rather than in the game. This account is just made so that I can run a simulation on how things should go."
"Don't you wish you can create a separate account to play? That's what Fangaztaz does."
"I could. But on the other hand, would it be exciting for me? I don't think so. After all, I already knew the concept that this game is taking. Playing it will just become boring for me. Just like you, you know?"
"I guess you can say that. You're not that far off..."
We turn our attention toward the crowd that is clearly facing off with each other using their full power. I guess their title as the best 100 players in the world doesn't disappoint... There's some big names that we already knew are strong. But there's also so much name that are new to us that we didn't knew they could be this strong.
I can judge their potential by how well they're faring against Kaixen and Fangaztaz despite them being way underleveled and undergeared to face against those two...
"I'm not here to scout some people. But there's people with nice abilities and skills that makes them stand out than the rest."
"I see that as well... I can see a lot of unleashed potential in this space alone. Despite that limitation, they can be in the top 100 player. It's amazing."
With Paradies member quitting the game. I decided to take notes of the players that caught my eyes...
"In the end... It's Fangaztaz that would win the battle wouldn't it?"
From the flow of the battle. It's easy to see why he would win the battle. After all, Rio is undoubtedly the best talent after me. Dion is nice, but Rio is way more talented and skilled. Not to mention, his fighting style is also very overwhelming to anyone that he faced...
"It's very natural that he would win the battle... Unless Kaixen makes ballsy move that no one saw, then Fangaztaz is the winner of this battle royal."
We continue to watch the match... Eventually, it goes down to none other than the top two player that we all knew would faced off against each other after taking out everyone...
It's Kaixen and Fangaztaz...
"Well well, it was meant to be, ain't it?"
"This is the battle to see who is the number two in the world."
After a little bit of exchange between those two... Fangaztaz immediately make the first move. But he didn't shoot his pistol like how he normally would start an encounter. Instead, he immediately challenged Kaixen to the battle of swords...
He swung his sword upwards and was blocked by Kaixen sword... But Kaixen immediately countered with a downward s***h toward Fangaztaz right hand.
Almost immediately, Kaixen hand was shot from out of nowhere.
"There's a reason why I makes my move like this. My pistol, shot does not come out from the barrel. It comes out where I want it to come out. It is my Direct Shot."
Kaixen immediately put some space between the two of them and take a guard.
"There's more to come. I am more than a hybrid Swordsman and Gunman. My job is Portal Gunner. My ability is to create a portal that can immediately reach you without me having to move. Despite the name of Portal Gunner. This ability doesn't work only on my Pistol. It works on anything that I held!"
Kaixen hears that and immediately realize... He's fucked...
With that small exchange from the two of them. Fangaztaz has set up so many portal that unleashes a barrage of slashes and bullets...
"Ah shit... I guess I lost due to my lack of knowledge."
Kaixen didn't go down without a fight though. He immediately uses his skills too.
"Breakthrough!!!"
Tons of Swords appear on the air to try and cancel out Fangaztaz attack. But his swords runs out before Fangaztaz flurry of attack, runs out...
With that, the battle royal winner is Fangaztaz... Everyone claps at him and cheers him on. He showers in the glory that he gained from defeating everyone in the battle royal... But still... Somehow, for some reason... Something happens...
"Now... With me being the battle royal winner. It's natural that I wanted to try out my strength against the opponent that I cannot faced in the battle royal..."
"... Ooh?"
Everyone was shook to hear that declaration of stupidity from Rio... Of course, I look at him like 'Seriously? You're doing this stupid s**t?' because I know that it won't end well from him. No matter what tech he's trying to pull, his opponent is still me. It ain't no way that He's winning against me. Not to mention, he also revealed what his job is to me with that fight against Kaixen...
"I want to challenge the one true king of the Eclipse Online! OneSec. The mythical being in the VR MMO community... My nemesis since the start of our career... This is my last invitation of duel for you, OneSec! If you win this duel! I will be your underlings and stay loyal to you for the rest of time! If you lose. You will do the same to me. How about that invitation?"
Everyone immediately stares at me. Pressuring me to go and accept the duel... Of course, I ain't no b***h. But I like to go with my own style...
"... Don't regret it later... Mister Fangaztaz."
In just one moment... I went from sitting on the seat to being right behind Fangaztaz with my King's Fang right on his neck. At the same time...
"I ain't gonna regret it. OneSec. This is the true test. For the title of the True King..."
His finger is already on the trigger ready to pull it. I know that he's ready to shoot me dead on my head if I move my dagger anywhere closer...
"Alright... I accept your duel invitation..."
