1372 Words
The two stood up facing each other with fix fierce gaze. They both grip their weapons in their hands. Ready on what the other party’s move.
“This is an honor… This is an honor to fight my idolized player. I’m really happy that I’m given another chance to fight with you Kaede-san.”
“I really appreciate you for idolizing me, but I prepared to be a normal person. Let's just be friends equally.”
“That can’t do… I want to look at your distance away from me. I wanted to surpass you. That’s my goal. For now, Kaede must treat me as her rival. A rival that will push you into your limit.”
After their conversation. Melida widens her wings and flies upon the sky.
Her shield transformed and became armor with multiple launchers. From her battle with Kaede before. Melida learned that she might be able to combine two of her skills.
For this time her ability guardian angel form and White fortress is been combined. Creating a majestic mechanical angel. Her light glows through the sky.
The audience and spectators watching the game event from afar were stunned at how skills are used that way. Or rather, how those skills even exist.
“Kaede please give me you’re all!”
Kaede gripped her sword and point it upward into the sky. Specifically toward Melida’s direction.
…
“So awesome! This is the reason I keep playing this game.” Said a spectator.
“An angel comes to defeat the demon sword… This is so epic! For some reason I felt s hype up on what's going to happened next.”
“Everyone feels the same.”
“In this fight, they can just do anything they wanted. They are all already entered the top 20 teams. Now they will fight their heart content to know who is the best team in this battle event.”
“To think there is someone able to stand a chance in front of Demon sword is really awesome and she is shield user at best. A fight between opposites.”
“A fight between opposites? That’s interesting… I feel like I can write a novel within this fight.”
The audience is all hyped up and the cameras are all set to Kaede and Melida’s battle.
…
“White fortress: White Stream!”
Followed by Melida’s voice. Lasers and rockets come launching out from her mechanical body. Targeting Kaede from her position. Kaede doesn’t have much to do with her situation anymore. Clover the support mage that supports to give her support boost of speed is already out on the game.
Just like how she battles hundred of players. She needs to take Melida down on her own.
“Dash!”
Kaede dashed backward to avoid the upcoming attack flying in her direction. At this time she was thankful that she was able to read the new sword skills she learned earlier. Without this knowledge, she will never gonna survive such a destructive attack.
Melida while up in the sky was surprised by the speed Kaede demonstrating in front of her. This is a speed that she never expects Kaede would have.
She grinned briefly looking at Kaede.
“Kaede-san is really full of surprises… This the Kaede I’ve been wanting to defeat ever since!”
Melida reminded herself the first time she watches the Kaede battle event. She saw that even a small girl like Kaede was capable of such things. Even to a small girl, nothing was impossible.
That every image of Kaede defeating people around her was the trigger of Melida playing this game. Like Kaede, she didn’t have any interest in games before, but after playing this game for a while she started to like it.
It was like her eyes were opened to a new world of possibilities.
A possibility that the real world will never be able to present through her eyes.
This is a virtual reality with endless possibilities.
“Dashing is not enough there are too many of them…”
Kaede muttered and faced the upcoming rockets in her direction. She clenched her sword and swing horizontally intercepting the rockets slicing them in halves.
“... Cross s***h!”
Kaede after that leaps forward and delivers another skill.
“Fire Sword!”
The flaming blade image flies in Melida’s direction. Melida’s cheeks were grazed with the over-lapping speed fire sword has become.
It’s a skill Melida didn’t know about. She didn’t know that Kaede was capable of using a skill from afar.
“Time to test this skill!”
“Test a skill in this situation?! Kaede-san is not taking me seriously!”
“That’s the opposite… I’m so serious I wanted to use it for someone I acknowledge. Melida is a player that I acknowledge the most. Because right in this moment… We’re rivals!”
“Kaede-san…”
Both made a smile and faced each other.
Kaede sacrificed all her MP and magic counters just to use a skill she never used before. Her black robe and sword turned into a color of a night. A small horn grows on the right side of her forehead and her eyes turned into a golden color. Her hair grows longer and radiated silver colors.
“Demon form!”
Pair of two black wing spreads and Kaede.
…
“Seems like she finally gives up on being human.”
“She is the demon king after all.”
“No proof is needed.”
…
“Demon form? Still, I’ll be doing my best Kaede-san! White fortress: Rampage!”
More lasers and a rocket were blasted to Kaede’s. But it didn’t go through because Kaede is already gone on the ground. The braking grounds and mountains make Elise and Yuki’s fight postponed.
They prioritized their safety first and made some safe distance away from Melida and Kaede.
“Where are you?! Kaede-san?!”
“Right here!”
Melida turned her glance upon the sky. She saw a shade of black line shooting from the sky.
It was like a black shooting star.
Moving in extremely high-speed Kaede. Swings her black blade cutting Melida’s body in half.
“Demon sword: Meteor s***h!”
Melida’s Hp before it decreases to zero. Kaede-san is really amazing after all, I don’t stand a chance against her. She thought and smiled.
Melida disappeared in light and was eliminated.
Kaede landed on the ground. Her MP was low, her Sp was near zero. If her move didn’t succeed Kaede will indeed lose the fight against Melida.
Kaede made a sign of relief to let the stress out of her body.
Her body goes back to normal.
Demon form can only be used for 13 seconds after all.
She immediately opened her inventory to her MP and HP potion to replenish herself.
Unexpected happened.
Shoot!
Kaede’s field of vision goes blank instantly.
Kaede’s head was shot from a long distance.
Elise and Yuki were fired with explosions. A surprise attack was thrown toward them.
Kaede fell on the ground and her Hp was in 1. But it's too late before she made another move.
A little girl with a gun in her hand shoots her through her head instantly.
Player Yua and Himari made another surprise attack eliminating the scared hero guild and demon king guild.
“That’s kinda smooth Yua.”
“I do hate this kind of tactics but winning is the most important thing in the end.”
“So sneaky as always.”
“Let's go and move forward to a new location before the top player number 1 was able to find us. We must go and gather more information before the summer cup.”
“Roger! Roger!”
Yua and Himari move.
