788 A Battle Between Warriors (1/2)
”Eh…?”
After hearing the system announcing that Frost Blade was the victor of the battle, the crowd was speechless.
How could this even be considered a battle? The both of them were initially staring at each other for god knew how long, following which they started a stripping contest and began hurling vulgarities at each other. It was degrading to the point whereby even lime powder was used in the fight. In the entire duration of 40 minutes, there was only one successful stab in the entire bout.
Everyone there had played the game for so long but this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a boring battle.
Even though the players from Twilight City at the arena had heard the system announcing the victor of the battle and knew the true identity of A Murder of Crows, they weren't excited about the win at all as Frost Blade had won the battle in such a disgusting manner. They even started to think that the bunch of Quan Zhen Sect players could only rely on cheap tricks and craftiness in order to win.
At the end of the day however, Frost wasn't an opponent that stood on equal grounds with Abundance of Gold and striving for a tie was his ultimate goal in the first place. Seeing that he was able to win this battle, it was definitely unexpected.
”How is it? I'm good, right!” Frost Blade proudly claimed after returning to his own camp.
”Good! Good! Frost is truly quick-witted! We knew from the start that you would win the battle.” The others from Quan Zhen Sect raised their thumbs up at him, praising. The bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect were all crafty and cunning. Thus, even though Frost had won the battle in such an unglamorous manner, they all took it as him being quick-witted about the entire situation.
Abundance of Gold was having it worse on the other end. Knowing full well that the opponent wasn't his match, he still got stabbed once by him, resulting in him losing the battle.
”F*ck, don't hold me back. I'm going to hack that brat to pieces!”
Flushing red with anger, Abundance of Gold wanted so badly to head over to Quan Zhen Sect's camp and settle things with Frost Blade. Thankfully, he was stopped by his companions.
War is Peace said, ”Enough, Old Jin. A win resulting from adopting a battle strategy is still a win. After all, we are still in the singles fight segment. There would be many opportunities for you later on to cross paths with that guy. Are you saying that you can't even accept this minor setback?”
”I can't accept such a shameful defeat!” Abundance of Gold said gloomily.
At this moment, a Warrior with a crew cut patted Abundance of Gold on the shoulder and said, ”Gold, don't be depressed. Just observe my battle next! I will seek justice for you!”
The Warrior with the crew cut was called Sea of Silver, and he was the second-best expert in the Raptors battle team. His nickname was Silver Falcon and played the Warrior job class. As it was a job that had a rather high damage output, in terms of overall ability, he wasn't any worse than Abundance of Gold.
Abundance of Gold turned to look at Sea of Silver and said, ”Old Silver, you must not lose the next fight.”
”Got it.” Sea of Silver nodded his head slightly.
At that moment, the system announced to commencement of the third round. Following which, Boson and Sea of Silver were both sent up on the arena.
As both players were Warriors, their looks were more appealing. Coupled with the fact that both of them were fully decked with sparkling equipment, it made both of them look extremely majestic, way more attractive than the previous two fighters.
”Surely it won't be another 40 minutes fight, right?” The audience were fearful of history repeating itself once more.
”If the same thing happens again, I'll definitely send my complaint. D*mn it!”
”Me too!”
Seemingly as if both parties had heard the outrage by the audience, the both of them immediately adopted their combat stance the moment the countdown started, not bothering to say any unnecessary words.
Both Sea of Silver and Boson were Weapons Master. However, the path which Sea of Silver had developed himself in was completely different from Boson. As Boson was a Kendo practitioner, he relied more on combat maneuvers and belonged to the agility-based Warriors.
Sea of Silver was different and was more similar to Abundance of Gold. He followed the style of Team Raptors and went the explosive path. Even though he wasn't as agile as Boson, his techniques were way more vicious.
