1153 Words
"With that, we conquered the ominous nightmare known as the Nightmare Poseidon."
"Buhaaah!!! What the f**k is that creature?! There's such thing in Eclipse Online?!"
The moment I kill the Nightmare Poseidon for the second time. Everyone around me collapsed from mental exhaustion due to how difficult it is to kill this thing. But for me, since I have killed him solo before... It didn't really exhaust me as much as them. The addition of everyone around me is helping to relief a lot of that pressure that the Poseidon gave back then...
"Good job you all, now, go out and take a proper rest outside of the game..."
"What about you though, OneSec?"
"Don't worry about me, Mercy. I still need to do something."
I make sure everyone leave me alone. When that is accomplished, I immediately went to Coggensville and straight toward my Smithy.
"It's Eight PM now. We take our time a little bit too much trying to slay the Nightmare Poseidon. I would like to get some rest first, but it would spell out my defeat. So, I need to work quick."
I'm pretty sure that everyone has gotten started on the introduction of the machine. Since I do received a message from Tywin and Hanami simultaneously saying that everyone is getting ready and I should get ready for the show too. It was sent Ten Minutes ago. So, it's going to arriving soon...
I'm not a fan of wasting time too. So the sooner I can get this done, the better...
What I'm doing right now is enhancing my perfect graded gear to the maximum enhancement for more stats.
The maximum enhancement that everyone can do right now is just +9. Nearly doubling the stats of the original. But according to some information that I dig, it can go up to +15 giving it 2,5x stronger than the base form.
I don't know what is the trigger for that yet, if I have to guess it's the main scenario...
Anyway... The excessive amount of resource I spend to enhancing this gear is extremely crazy. I spend so much resources that if it was in real life, I would be deemed as a crazy person. I can buy stuff from designer brand with the amount of resources I spend in enhancing my gears.
Fortunately for me, I don't have to feel the guilt of doing that because most of the material used is untradeable due to me getting them through special means.
With everything from my weapons to every single accessories I have... I enhanced it to the max. It took about Forty Five Minutes to do all of that... So when I finished, it's actually time for me to get ready...
When I think about that... A message came from Tywin.
'OneSec. It's the last reminder that we will give you. Everyone is getting ready in the arena. All players have sat down in the arena and Akros is ready to leave at exactly Nine PM. Please be at the arena immediately.'
As he stated, it's the last reminder that I will get. If I want to be the best, I need to fulfill that call. So I did. I immediately went to the Arena and went straight to my corner... It's nice that the Arena is specially made for this occasion.
"Yo."
"OneSec. Finally. Please sit down. I will give you the run down of the rule."
"A duel needs a rule?"
"That's the beauty of it. It don't. You can do anything you wanted to do. In this virtual world. Dirty plays is just a part of the game. So, if you wanted to do anything. Just do it. There's no limitation to it."
Alright. I smiled when I heard what Tywin said.
It's the best rule to ever existed in anything. Basically saying I'm free to do whatever the f**k I want to my opponent... As I stated to myself before this. I'm going to humiliate Akros so bad that he's not going to run away from this moment. Not even once in his entire life. The only way to end it is to end his life... As bad as this sounds, this is the best thing I can do to not lose the spot as the best and as the king of the VR MMO.
Anyone who threatens the king as belittles the king. Deserves immediate execution.
"Are you ready now, OneSec?"
When Tywin asked that one last time. I immediately equip all of my gear. The moment I equip all of my gear, fullset...
"W-Wha?"
A massive and intense wave of pressure was released. The space around me was distorted for a moment. Indicating that the set I'm wearing is enhanced to its maximum potential... It's so powerful that space bends in its presence...
"T-That pressure... Full Set, Plus Nine Gears?!"
"Exactly... A king, never cuts any corner when faced against great adversity. If there is a king that does that, they are not true king. True king faced the problem himself, and so... I will be facing this problem with all of my might and executing Akros... In the spot."
I put my Mask on and then all of my emotion is gone... I draw both my King's Dagger and immediately make my way out toward the stage to finally have a one on one fight with the one who's been disgustingly tarnished the legacy of my achievement...
As I'm walking over to the stage... People are chanting my name and Akros's name. It seems like there's more Akros supporter on the crowd than my supporter... But everything quiets down them moment I step out into the arena...
As pressure that naturally exuded from my presence... Silenced the entire arena... Akros has been sitting waiting with his sword on the ground. Trying to act all unbothered by the silence...
"You are a man that wants recognition but never gets it. So the way you want to get it is to go at the king's throat. A very convenient way and a lazy way to get a recognition. Hence that's why, I will never let you relived the moment that you have been building up towards..."
A glory should never goes to people as delusional as him. Someone who cuts corner and just want nothing but the fame and accomplishment.
"I thought you are a quiet guy, OneSec. But it seems like my judgement is wrong! You are nothing but a garbage that hide behind the PVE scene!"
"You can bash me all you want. My legacy says otherwise. The best gamer title is given to me for a reason..."
Without any hesitation... I pointed my dagger toward him and let out my pressure more...
"For that crime act you did... I will make sure that true death, is the only escape from this painful experience."
Without any warning... The duel has started...
