"The Warrior of Lightning, The Saviour of This Village, I the son of this village chieftain invite you into a friendly duel!" A young man said with a smile.
His eyes is full of vigor as the moment Razor 'Wyvern slaying stories' is heard by him, he want to do anything as long as he can have a duel with him.
[Huh?]
"Huh?"
Razor said with a confused expression as he just trying to buy some fruit from a shop.
"Um, sir, the fruit is 5 silver" The woman that sells the fruit said.
After he heard the woman's voice Razor snap out of his thoughts. "Ah, here" he said handing out 5 silver to the woman.
"What did you say again?" He asked the young man.
"I, the son of the chieftain want to have a duel with you! The Lightning Hero!" He said loudly.
'He sure do have a loud voice…' He thought as he stare at the young man.
'System do you have a quest for this?' He asked.
[I don't have such feature, host]
'As useless as ever, huh? Just what feature do you have?' He thought.
"I'm sorry kid, I don't really have anything to get from this duel, do I? So go back to your home" He said while his hand shooing him.
"But sir hero-" Before the young man managed to continue his speech Razor put his hand over his mouth.
"Shut, if you want to fight me, prepare the prices" He said as he walk away.
"Price…?" The young man muttered as a smile formed on his face. "Oh great hero, let's fight! If you win I'll give you the artifact I've won and I'll even swore my loyalty to you!" He said.
"Hm?" He was pretty shocked about what he heard.
'What does he meant? Is artifact is the same as artifact that I know?' He asked.
[Yes, artifact is an item that hold a power that have a potential to surpasses the universe itself, and there's relic who are artifact but is created by the 'gods']
'Alright' He thought.
"…" Razor didn't answer and just stay silent the whole time making the chieftain son sweating.
'Is he mad? Shit, did I get on his bad side?' Cold sweat drip down from his forehead as he still keep his smile wide.
'But… I want to fight him at least once even if I put my life on the line!' His eyes filled with vigor as he stare at the man infront of him.
"Its just a friendly duel, right? It shouldn't be that bad…" He said while eating the apples he bought.
[You have accepted the chieftain son request for a friendly duel]
[Creating a special event]
'Event? What does it mean, system?' He asked.
[The function is similar to that of the Raid, host just need to defeat the chieftain son's and receive a reward]
'Oh? So its still similar to that of a quest or mission?' He thought.
[Not quite, the quest or mission usually forced upon the user but for event its up to host either to run away or stay for the event]
'Understand, so what is the reward?' He thought.
–
[Event: Defeat Chieftain Son In A Duel (Boss Fight)]
-Objective: Defeat the chieftain son - 0/1
-Reward: One artifact from chieftain son collection, Chieftain son become your subordinate, 5 Spin.
–
"So what do you think, Hero? Do you accept the challenge of this kid?" The young man saidwith a huge smile and cold sweat drenched his back, luckily his clothes are dark and hide most of his body well.
Razor went silent and think for a few second.
"Yeah, why not?" He said in a casual tone.
The chieftain son face is filled with excitement and his smile grew even wider. "Really? If that's the case them let's go to the arena, Hero!" He led the way to the arena followed by Razor.
'Sigh, this kid is really a battle junkie, huh? Well, he seems to be strong so it should be entertaining enough to fight him' He thought as he followed the young man.
…
Razor is walking while following the chieftain son to the arena, after sometime we arrived.
'Its huge' He thought.
Soon Razor is standing in the centre of the arena's and just stare at the chieftain son preparing for this duel.
His family seem to be there and talk about something to him.
"Hero, are you ready?" He said.
"Here a weapon for each of you" A man wearing a butler outfit hand out two sword to each of the duelist.
After the butler left both of them shake their hands.
"I still haven't introduced myself right, Hero? So I'm going to do it now, my name is Ethan" He said.
"Nice to meet you, Ethan." Razor answered.
The referee is about to make an announcement.
"Each duelist is given a special badge that will create a force field to protect each contestants if the attack launched was fatal, each contestants have three lives and if all three lives is gone then you loses. For the sword its have the ability to halved the attack output of the user so that nobody will get hurt" The referee then shout.
"Start!"
'Hero! Let's see how strong are you-' Before Ethan can move from his place Razor already launched a heavy attack breaking one of his lives.
*Crack*
Normal people reaction of this situation probably shocked or fear but for this insane bastard named Ethan he was just getting more excited as he try to keep up with his opponents.
[Combat Version: (•) 1.8↓ ( ) 1.9↑]
'So this how it mean when it say 1.8 combat, the combat that rely on aim and clicking speed, this bring me nostalgia~' He thought as he overwhelming his opponent with countless slash.
*Slash*
"Is this all you got? That's pretty disappointing…" Razor said as his blade continues to slashing his opponent with an unimaginable speed.
Ethan smiled as he witnessed the barrage of slashes coming his way, some of it even inflicted a few minor wounds to his body and Ethan managed to keep up with his opponent speed while redirecting his attack.
The fight was one sided but Ethan was enjoying every second of it because even though one attack of his opponent could kill him he was excited to see how strong he is.
*Ktang*
The continuous sound of metal colliding filled the whole arena as they witness the fight, even if they noticed the 'Hero' is pushing Ethan back they are also suprised that he can even survive that long against the barrage of attack that could cause shockwave everytime contact is made.
When Razor is getting more bored Ethan take this chance and put his palm over his opponent face.
'Hm? What is this-?' He thought as a huge blast of ice blasting through his palm.
[Host has been inflicted with Cold: Movement speed reduced 10%]
"Tch" He muttered annoyed by the sudden status effect as he jump backwards creating a decent distance.
But due to his decreased speed Ethan managed to catch him off guard and attacked him mid air.
*Crack*
"Amazing Hero-!" Ethan while trying to hit Razor got his second live taken but he managed to take Razor first life in exchange.
After they land on the ground Razor chuckled. "It seems like I've underestimated you, kid." He said as he tightened his grip of the sword.
Ethan on the other hand didn't just stand there and do nothing, he used his second unique skill.
[Unique Skill [Genesis Shield: Rank 1] Is Activated]
Suddenly an armour appeared on Ethan body, covered it whole.
"That's a pretty sick armour not gonna lie" Razor said as he appeared infront of Ethan about to slash his head off.
*Swish*
"Huh! That was close!" Ethan said with a mix of his normal loud voice and a little bit of mechanical voice in it.
'He seem to be even faster isn't he, system?' He thought.
[Yeah, this kid seem to be some sort of prodigy]
While Razor was talking to system Ethan already appeared infront of him and about to launch his attack.
The sword he held is coated with a raging flame as he slashed at his opponent neck.
*Ktang*
Another sound of metal sword colliding can be heard as the fight about to increase in its intensity.
*Shhh*
Ethan armour is releasing black smoke from its ventilation similar to the one that he released before.
[Unique Skill [Black Smoke: Rank 1] has risen to Rank 2 due to [Genesis Shield: Rank 1] influence]
The smoke he seem to be releasing is becoming more thick and dark.
'Damn, why can't I have something as cool as that?' He asked.
[Host, there's seem to be something wrong with that kid, his power is increasing at a high speed!]
Before Razor could react Ethan fist already infront of his face.
'After I've seen your strength, Hero, I will not hold back anything and use all of my card against you!' Under his armour a huge smile formed on his face.
[Cold: 00:01]
[Cold has been neutralised]
*Boom*
*Woosh*
Even after Ethan have increased his physical capabilities to a huge degree, he was still no match for the 'Hero' speed as he noticed that he never really used his power to its full potential.
'T-This power! How could a human hold such powerful physique!?' The chieftain thought.
Razor appeared on Ethan side causing the land he stand on crack. "I'm impressed, kid" He said.
To finish the duel he launched a light jab to Ethan face's sending him flying to the walls creating a huge craters and a smokescreen.
*Crack*
"Oops, did I use top much power?" He said.
Razor walked towards Ethan who are stuck on the walls.
"Hero, can you help me? I cannot leave this wall" He said with an awkward smile.
He don't say anything and just grab Ethan's hand and pull him out.
*Thump*
He land on his feet and released the armour from his body. "Thanks, Hero" He said smiling.
"No problem" He put his hand on Ethan's shoulder.
While Ethan and Razor is having a chat something is happening to Ethan.
Ethan fall to his knees while his body appeared many black nerve bulging from all over his body.
Razor who don't know anything was suprised about what's happening as he saw Ethan's family rushing towards them.
"Ethan!" The chieftain said with a voice full of concerns.
"Oh no! It seem that big brother curse relapsed! We need to bring him back before it become worse!" Ethan younger sister said panicking.
"If that the case then let's go!" Chieftain said while he carrying Ethan and walked to their house.
Ethan's family rushed towards their home alongside a few medical experts, priests and Razor that followed them.
