Chapter 4 - Duel

Clark looked at his two girls as they were fitted for leather armor…

He had already made an appointment at the battle pavilion for these girls to fight until the portals opened in 3 hours… However, now he had to do these boring things… Making sure the girls were prepared with armor as he pondered what their lives were like…

Fox girls were notorious for being thieves and stealing from people, which was supposedly why 1000 years ago they became enslaved by humans…

It was bullshit, but he didn't have a right to judge… After all, he'd forced these girls to serve him…

"That will be 3000 points…"

The man said as he held out his hand… "You said you wanted the best leather armor I had right? It turns out that the best leather armor is more expensive then I thought…"

"I told you I only had a 1000 points…" Clark said as he face palmed, looking at the three girls as they were handed their armor by Jace's hand maidens… "You… you can't just increase the price…"

"Hmmm, give me one of these girls and we're even…" Jace said as he rubbed his hands together… "You… you don't need Aria right? He he…" Jace said as he looked back at her blue hair as she looked at her leather armor in the mirror… "Heh… for the pig leather Grey and that Blonde will be wearing…"

"Don't… don't do this Jace… I know people," Clark said as he held his arms akimbo… "You hear me? Screw with me, and I'll make your life a living hell…"

"Heh… I'm so scared…" Jace cracked his knuckles before he took the mace off his back and spun in several times in his hand… "Yup, I'm scared of a level 2 leader… Right… What kind of fool do you think I---"

Clark pivoted off his right foot and punched with all his might into Jace's face who was level 5… However, Clark had a bonus that he earned from a few meritorious deeds from several of his reincarnations…

Jace tried to dodge but as he did dropped the Mace on his foot as Clark's palm smacked him in the face! He managed to fall straight down because of the mace on his foot…

'Loser… That's what you get for doubting a leader…"

Clark sighed as he looked at three guards rushing over to him on horseback that were over level 20… They would be annoying to deal with, in fact, impossible but he was pretty confident in his ability to bullshit…

The leader got off the horses and looked at him with a burning rage present in his eyes… This was a blacksmith that Clark hurt! Even though he was a leader, that didn't make him higher than a blacksmith!

"What gives you the right, Clark? Ugh, you knocked him out?"

"He's a fool… Overcharging me for my three girls…" Clark sighed and called out the three girls as they came out with their new armor on… "Tell you what… If you can beat these three girls in a fight, I'll let you report me…"

"Are you dumb? I'm level 20?" The man laughed, shaking his head as he looked at Clark… "Your strongest girl is level 6…"

"We… we can't fight him!" Aria also said, gulping as she fixed her leather dress as she looked at the guard gawking at her… "Won't we get in trouble if we fight a human?"

"You… you… you think you can beat me!" The guard, Ark, laughed and pulled out a spear, beginning to glow blue as mana manifested out of his pores… "I'll give you little girls a beating before I formally rebuke your master!"

"He'll be whipped on the pillory after the next attack! Ha ha! If I report him that is…"

Clark smiled and requested a duel…

[Duel has been accepted! 3 v 1]

[Clark's Team versus Ark]

"Heh… you're out of your mind…" Ark said as he spun his spear in his hand… "I'll take each of your girls down to 1 health and then have fun lashing you…"

Clark didn't respond and activated his skill window, activating Grey's new skill Nemesis as Ark prepared to attack. Nemesis was a skill that caused a target to be lured to her…

This idiot didn't even realize what trap he'd stepped into…

"Lure…" Clark said with a thumb up as Ark laughed and looked at the three girl's eyes begin to grow focused… Clark had regained control back of the girls when the duel mode started, and had tons of experience at his disposal, using these skills before…

In response, Ark smiled before his right and left foot were forced forward, heading towards Grey as Aria and Nadia went behind his back… Then Grey started running around in circles…. It was almost too easy…

Ark was now going to be forced to chase after Grey unless he had a skill to stop it, and this idiot didn't look like the type to invest in skills to protect himself from tanks…

After all, he was a soldier? Why would need a skill like break…

"You… you're playing fowl!" Ark got body checked by Aria as he tried to chase afte Grey as she ran around in circles… He fell down onto the floor before Nadia began using fire slash on his back…

It was already over as soon as it began… Clark smiled as Ark got back up only to find Nemisis reactivated and his body once again checked by a beautiful little girl…

Aria was only five feet two inches tall, and had her hair in pigtails thanks to the blonde handmaiden who had made her armor… It was an extremely funny site to see, but not as funny as Ark's reaction when his health got down to 10…

"That's it! I didn't want to use this on little girls, but—"

The guard turned around and screamed as a flaming sword went into his throat and pierced out the other side… Blood shot out of his neck as Nadia's killing intent radiated out of her eyes…

A moment later, he fell back, blood gushing out of his throat…

[Duel ended! Winner Clark!]

Immediately, a healing light desended on him from the supreme system as his three girls looked down at their hands… How had they beaten a level 20 man? This was incredible?

"Well, looks like you lost, Ark… Nice to see you're taking it well…!"

"I'll make you pay you piece of shit!" Ark got up and coughed, finding the terror of death still lingering around him… "You're… you're a leader, but a weak one! I doubt you'll make it to level 10 before you die! Then these girls will be my trophies on the last days!"

"Didn't mean to offend you…" Clark bowed and prepared to leave… "However, do you really want to get on my bad side? Next time I reincarnate, I can kill you on the first night in your sleep…"

"Shit… That won't even be me… This life, I'm going to make you suffer…" Ark spit and walked off… "However, I'll keep my end of the deal… Little shit…"

Clark sighed and shook his head, waving as Ark left…

He had dealt with him in more than one life and wasn't going to make the same mistake this time… He probably really was going to kill him in his sleep tonight…

A bastard like that wasn't worth keeping around…

"Aria… Heal the blacksmith and then lets go… The battle is about to start…. However, Nadia… beat him up again after he's healed… We want to try and get Aria's healing skill to level 2…"

"Sure… Mr. Cruel…" Nadia held out her thumb and spun out her sword… "Well, Aria… shall we start the operation?"

"Yup, and then we're getting ice cream?"

"Heh… just take your time, and I'll give you a reward…" Clark walked over to the ramparts, ignoring the screaming of the blacksmith as Grey stood next to him as portals began to open…

"This… this is the day I've been waiting for… I wonder what monsters they will have in the second wave this time…"
