Chapter 168: Dragon.
A few days later.
[MATCH OVER!]
[Winner - KingOfGames]
[KingOfGames - Level 415 - Points: 10005
''You did it!'' Azura cheered happily.
A smile was painted on Ichiro's face, but then a message popped up.
[Your Rank has reached Top 100!]
[Current Rank: 97]
Azura gasped, ''You are in the top 100!''
A screen turned black, and suddenly Ichiro's avatar was teleported into a luxurious room.
The room was already crowded with strong-looking players, but all of their heads turned towards Ichiro.
Their eyes were filled with shock, respect, and worship.
Azura went silent— she could barely breathe.
All the players in the room are legends in their own territory!
Azura was only a Level 130ish player, and she could never dream of hoping any of the legends, but the first legend she met was the greatest of them all, KingOfGames!
She even ended up dating him, which would make everyone shocked.
There is also the fact that her brother is a legend as well.
Three figures started walking towards Ichiro.
The first figure was an athletic-looking male. He had short black hair with red and gold armor with a golden cape. A nametag was floating above his head, which said.
[Undying - Level 399 - Points: 16001 - Rank 2]
Next to him, a figure with silver and gold armor looked very strong, but he himself had never been this nervous! A nametag was floating above his head.
[Spiritless - Level 398 - Points: 15869 - Rank: 3]
The third figure was a solemn-looking figure with a muscular body. He had long red hair with piercing yellow eyes and beautiful golden armor. His shoulder pads had a dragon logo, his shield also had the same symbol, and he had a similar nametag floating above his head.
[Dragon - Level 399 - Points: 16021 - Rank: 1]
Ichiro recognized Undying's name.
'Aether… Rank 2.' Ichiro was pleasantly surprised.
Azura also recognized her brother.
''King,'' Undying said and put his hand as a handshake.
Ichiro shook his hand and nodded.
''Enough chitchat, King, fight me!'' Dragon bellowed.
The room went quiet.
Undying snorted.
Azura leaned closer to Ichiro's ear and whispered, ''He is Dragon, the winning candidate of Night Tournament.''
''Oh.'' Ichiro raised an eyebrow.
''Well, King? What is your answer.'' Dragon asked impatiently.
''Fine, let's fight,'' Ichiro replied.
The room instantly exploded in a heated discussion.
Dragon smirked and sent a match request.
Ichiro accepted.
Both of them turned into pixels and got teleported into the arena.
All the screens in the luxurious room showed the match.
Tens of thousands of players who were waiting for their match or were simply spectating some other pro matches noticed a certain match showing in golden color.
Usually, golden color matches are extremely rare.
It usually means that Top 1 and Top 2-5 are fighting.
Everyone got curious but was disappointed seeing only Rank 1 and Rank 97 fighting.
It was still an extremely high-level match, but they thought that it wasn't worthy of a Golden color match, but then they saw the fighters in that match…
[Dragon - Rank 1 Vs. KingOfGames - Rank 97]
An excitement.
The excitement started spreading to the whole player base.
It will only take 1 minute for the match to start.
It is to give the fighters enough time to prepare their mental state.
It is not used in lower-ranked matches but in Top 100 matches… It is extremely important.
In that 1 minute, the spectator count rose from 100 to 59687, and it is still rising!
Spectators started live streaming, and the ones who couldn't be ingame heard instantly about the news.
In total, spectators for that match were over 200k!
Only 10 seconds remained till the match started.
Dragon was holding his shield, which had a golden dragon symbol, and he was holding his sword in his other hand.
Ichiro decided to use a shield as well.
He knows that he can't win only using his strength because he learned from Azura that his level is 399 in this match.
Brute strength won't help anymore.
Ichiro took his trusty sword and beautiful-looking shield from inventory.
[Excalibur EXTREME - Beyond Mythical]
[Shield of Achilles - Beyond Mythical]
Dragon could see how good his items were, but he wasn't worried because…
He had two Beyond Mythical weapons as well!
[Durendal EXTREME - Beyond Mythical]
[Shield of Aegis - Beyond Mythical]
*DING*
[MATCH START!]
Azura next to Ichiro didn't even dare to breathe.
She didn't want to be the reason if Ichiro lost and lost his godly status in the eyes of others.
And… She was scared that Ichiro might start hating her.
But, Ichiro couldn't really care about the outcome of the fight.
He is doing this because it seems fun!
''RAAAAAAAAWR!'' A menacing sound came from Dragon's shield!
The Shield of Aegis was roaring!
[Shield of Aegis tried to use Fear!]
[Your Mythical Status doesn't allow you to feel fear!]
Mythical Status is very mysterious because only one person has it, and he has never told anyone about it.
That person is KingOfGames!
Dragon wasn't surprised that it didn't work.
'Enough playing.' Dragon thought.
Ichiro wasn't moving— instead, he had his shield in front of him and his sword in an attacking stance.
Dragon planned to test the legendary individual in front of him.
He isn't sure whether KingOfGames is the best player because he is best at grinding levels or is his Mechanical Skills are the best in the world.
Because KingOfGames has been inactive, many players have caught his level.
At best, he was around 50 levels ahead of everyone else!
That was a very supernatural feat.
People thought that he could do it because he could kill monsters way above his level because of his superior Mechanical Skills.
Today everyone will find out if his Mechanical Skills are as good as the legends say.
*CLANK*
Dragon did the first attack and did a simple sword swing.
But Ichiro easily blocked it— he quickly moved and appeared next to Dragon.
''Oh?'' Dragon was quite impressed by his fast reaction time.
Ichiro stabbed with his sword, but Dragon blocked it perfectly.
[Your Opponent Did Perfect Block!]
[You are stunned!]
[Your Mythical Status doesn't allow you to get stunned!]
Ichiro quickly retreated.
'He is good!' Ichiro exclaimed in his mind.
'This is only the beginning…' Dragon thought with a smirk.
