"I request to duel with you."
The watch displays the offer to Levon, whose path crossed with another player yet again.
"Kewa Tiba! I need to know his ranking before I accept or refuse this offer…' He takes a look at the one standing in front of him.
"Why do you want to fight me?" Levon asks.
Though the question may look stupid, he's only seeking to deduce his opponent's level subtly. He's unconsciously prideful.
Kewa. "Euuh… because…we need to fight in this game, no? I thought I read that in the rules…"
Levon gets a bit surprised, not because of the naive answer, but the way in which this guy speaks. '…He seems really young, and unsure about himself. Moreover, it doesn't look like he knows who I am! Could It be that he's from another city?"
"How many fights have you had so far?" He asks again.
Kewa. "None, this will be the first one hahaha…
So, will you accept my offer or not? If you don't want to, it's okay, I'll go search for another one."
"No! That's fine; I accept your offer to duel." Says Levon, calmly and confidently.
The walls instantly start bending and collapsing, as the two players are transported to the white void.
Levon thinks to himself. '…Based on the list of rules I've read, if this is really his first duel then he's still a 1star player. I wasn't really looking to duel just yet, but the opportunity presented itself, and I have to seize it.
After all, I can't stay a 1star, not when some have already reached the 2nd one…'
The two square up, face to face.
Levon grabs his large majestic gun, without taking it out of its place, like cowboys used to do long time ago.
Kewa on the other hand stood peacefully with a resting face, and didn't draw his weapon nor make any move.
Kewa is tall; his skinny fit type of body doesn't quite match his Ceannlann armor, only his lower part of his face can be seen due to the helmet he's wearing on his head. Behind his back is a long bow, and in his hip area a small bag full of metallic arrows!
'…That must be his weapon, but I have no clue how it works. Therefore, I must remain in a defensive stance until I figure out his abilities.
But he's just standing, he didn't even reach out to his weapon… is this part of his strategy?' Levon is struggling to disclose his opponent's intentions.
"You're not going to attack first?" asks Kewa, so nonchalantly.
Graham remains silent…
Kewa continues. "Alright then hahaha, I thought it would be rude to attack a stranger but I guess this is just a game right? I apologize beforehand to you Mr. Graham."
Levon's right eyebrow rose up; he got even more confused now. '...Is he serious? I don't even sense any irony in his words…'
Kewa. "Now then, let's test how good I am in using this bow and arrows."
Levon puts his head back in the duel and puts all his focus on his opponent, he watches his movement…
It all happened in less than a second, before an arrow was launched right towards Levon's head!!
"Shit!" He barely dodges!!
'What the hell was that! It was so fast; if not for my sight it would definitely catch a normal person. It's similar to…' Levon had a quick flashback, to his fight with Toygar!
Kewa launches another arrow!
'However, I can tell, it isn't as fast nor as strong!' Levon doesn't dodge this time around but quickly fires towards the arrow coming his way, which successfully stopped the arrow, and rendered it burnt.
"Wow! Your weapon is really cool!" Says Kewa, excitingly. "I never seen something like that, I wish I had such a weapon."
Levon keeps on being silent on the outside, but he's pretty talkative within. 'This guy is unusual, to say the least… He's talking like this is just a game for him.
Well, now that I said it, it is. It's me who's taking it that seriously… Me and some others.
I must cut the crap, now it's time for me to take him by surprise… using speed!!'
Levon accelerates and starts jumping from one side to the other, with each jump he covers a certain distance between him and Kewa!
"Wowowow, how come you're so fast?" Kewa goes back to firing his arrows, but they all miss since the target is constantly moving in opposite directions.
'Great, now that he's busy trying to land a hit on me as I'm moving, he'll be slower in reacting to my shots.' Graham does the same and starts firing from every point he lands on!!
Tiba activates his shield instantly since he cannot dodge the multiple blue fireballs coming his way from 3 different directions (front, right side, left side)
The shots landed!
The shield begun cracking from the attacks, Levon jumps high and fires from above. This time, Kewa moves away and starts running.
'He runs slow, only his hands are…'
Suddenly, he finds him right in front of him!! Kewa punches Levon right in the face, throwing him down from up high!
It took less than a second for Levon to athletically flip backwards and get back up on his feet. But it took more than that to understand what just happened.
'How… was he trying to fool me all along? Is he on the same level as Toygar… This can't be, why would he need to do that?
The punch wasn't that strong, but the speed is tricky… he can also jump as high as I do!
I must be careful, and end this as quickly as I possibly can.'
Kewa. "I'm really sorry I had to punch you, but I need to try to win the game you know hahahaha."
"Just shut up." Says Levon, angrily, which his look clearly demonstrated.
"I don't like too much talking in the middle of a fight, do whatever you can to win or get lost."
Upon hearing Levon's harsh tone and voice, his facial expression changed, and with a different tone of his own. "You don't appreciate nice people.
Alright then, let's see if you'd appreciate my other side." He replies.
