"???"
The Voliwolf looked visibly confused when it opened its eyes once again. It found itself standing in a strange location...
It lifted its head and found Joseph who had a small smile on his face.
"What is this power?" Joseph mumbled to himself. Right now, he felt like his body had immense strength to the extent that he could probably do whatever he wanted.
Of course, that was exaggerating...
But it gave Joseph enough confidence to fight the enemy before him.
He stared at his surroundings and lightly smiled. He just entered this place recently and, now he was back.
He couldn't help but raise his head to stare at the skies.
"Roaaar!" The ignored Voliwolf roared and emanated a threatening aura.
For the Voliwolf, Joseph was a weak existence.
But it felt a sense of dread whenever it stared at Joseph.
It was as if Joseph was someone that it could never defeat in this new location.
[You have entered the Arena of the Gods, Colosseum.]
[The Colosseum is where the Grand Duelist shines!]
[The Grand Challenge is currently ongoing. You will not be able to return back to the outside world until the challenged or the Grand Duelist loses or dies!]
[As the Grand Duelist, dying in your domain is shameful.]
[Dying within the Arena of the Gods, Colosseum as the Grand Duelist doubles your penalties upon death.]
Joseph lightly smiled when he read all of these system notifications. In summary, the Arena of the Gods, Colosseum was a place where his class was superior.
His penalty upon dying in here was harsh, but his chances of dying within this place were low because of all the buffs that he has while he's in here.
"The Grand Duelist, this class is so broken..."' Even Joseph couldn't help but admit about how ridiculous his class was.
But he also thought that a Mythical Class should be something as broken as this or else it wouldn't be worthy as a Mythical Class.
"Roaaar!" The Voliwolf roared once again, bringing Joseph away from his contemplation. His eyes narrowed and he stared right into the anxious and scared Voliwolf before saying.
"Reveal Vitals."
[Reveal Vitals Lv. 1]

Skill Usage Conditions: Grand Duelist.
Skill Cost: None.

When Joseph used [Reveal Vitals]...
The world depicted in his eyes turned black and white for a moment.
But when everything returned to normal. Joseph found that the Voliwolf's body was dotted with circles that shone in a brilliant white light.
Those circles made out of light looked bewitching as if they were taunting Joseph on attacking them.
"So those are the weaknesses... If I attacked them, then. I will inflict damage to the Voliwolf according to his maximum Health... Holy shit, this is such a scam skill that's a bane of all tankers!" Joseph thought to himself, but he was already moving.
The Voliwolf who recognized the danger took a stance and readied to smack Joseph into pancakes.
[Your concentration is deemed sufficient for the activation of the Grand Duelist's Sharpened Eyes.]
[Within the duration of the Grand Duelist's Sharpened Eyes. No detail can escape your eyes.]
Joseph didn't even manage to read what the system notifications said since he was shocked to find that everything suddenly turned vivid and clear in front of him.
Every muscle movement of the Voliwolf became visible to him...
He could even see each strand of the Voliwolf's fur.
His eyes stared at the right shoulder of the Voliwolf and when it twitched.
Joseph hurriedly dodged to the side as the Voliwolf's paw descended as fast as lightning at his original location.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang out and Joseph's excitement reached the peak.
"Holy shit! I can predict his attacks by reading the movements of his muscles!" Joseph cried out loud in delight. His movements became full with vigor as he thrust his sword out and struck a circle made out of light, that Joseph deemed as a weakness revealed by [Reveal Vitals].
Kacha!
A clear sound akin to a glass breaking rang out as Joseph's sword broke through the gaps between the Voliwolf's fur and penetrated deep into its body.
[You dealt 2,273 damage.]
Joseph was taken aback by the damage that he dealt. But a smile lifted on his face when he remembered the description of the Reveal Vitals skills and what happened whenever he struck a vital.
"Roaaar!" The Voliwolf roared in anger upon suffering damage and it attacked ruthlessly and fast at Joseph who immediately widened his distance and ran away from the Voliwolf.
Even though he had a lot of buffs that supported him in this fight. Joseph's character was still at Level 1, his Health was extremely low to the extent that he would probably die instantly if he suffered an attack from the Voliwolf.
"I can't let myself get hit by that gigantic paw..." Joseph mumbled and he once again moved.
His Reveal Vitals only had about twenty seconds left before it ended. Joseph planned on taking full advantage of its effects before it officially ended.
Kacha!
[You dealt 2,283 damage.]
Kacha!
[You dealt 2,291 damage.]
Kachaaa!
[You dealt 2,266 damage.]
Joseph's became incomparably fast since he now had another 30% movement speed buff from the Reveal Vitals.
His movements were so fast that even Joseph found it hard to control his body. He felt dizzy and his expression looked like he was about to vomit.
Not only that, his neck looked somewhat pale and purple.
His sheer speed made it so that his lungs couldn't effectively pump blood around his body and it inadvertently made his movements sluggish.
"Damn it, I must end everything at once!" Joseph concluded.
If he let the duration of his Reveal Vitals end...
He would have to wait another ten minutes before he could use it once again.
Since Joseph was a Level 1 character with trash items. His Reveal Vitals was Joseph's only ticket on surviving and killing the monster known as Voliwolf.
Right now, while it was active. he had the advantage.
But once the effect of Reveal Vitals disappeared, he would most certainly be destroyed...
And so, Joseph decided.
"Everything must end here!"
Kacha!
[You dealt 2,279 damage.]
Kacha!
[You dealt 2,280 damage.]
The Voliwolf's health rapidly decreased from the fierce attacks that Joseph unleashed. If the Voliwolf was at its peak state. Joseph wouldn't dare to challenge the Voliwolf in his current state as a Level 1 player.
But the Voliwolf suffered from the bombardment of Nina and Rika for several dozens of minutes and it only had a single Health Bar that had at least three-fourths of it consumed by Nina and Rika's attacks.
Only a few seconds were left for Joseph's Reveal Vitals, and his rate of weaknesses destruction couldn't keep up with the ticking time bomb of its disappearance.
Kacha!
[You dealt 2,263 damage.]
[You dealt 2,269 damage.]
[You dealt 2,253 damage.]
[You dealt...]
"Everything must end at this moment!!!"
Joseph went into a frenzy. Utilizing everything that he learned from the Festival of Battles. He brought out his full potential and unleashed devastating attacks that accurately struck every weakness that the Voliwolf had...
Since he struck every weakness that he could find, the duration of the Reveal Vitals increased.
Weaknesses repeatedly disappeared and appeared on the Voliwolf's body making the monster scream in agony and despair. Its eyes radiated grief, shame, and anguish, due to the fact that it never even managed on touching its enemy's body before it was on the brink of death.
"ROAAAAR!" The Voliwolf unleashed a wretched scream filled with desperation.
It raised its paw and slammed it directly at Joseph.
The force contained within the paw of the Voliwolf was too great. One could faintly hear whistling sounds coming from the paw as it tore through the air itself and went towards Joseph.
Joseph faced the attack. The speed and force behind the Voliwolf's desperate attack were too strong for him to even dodge or block so he didn't bother doing either of the two. He just stood there, pointed his sword at the incoming paw and whispered into the air.
"Parry."
Bang!
A great explosion occurred, sending a huge cloud of dust into the air that obscured everything within the Colosseum.
