[KingOfGames - 58%]
[Dragon - 62%]
The battle has lasted over 10 minutes.
Usually, the battle between pros can end with one mistake, or it can last over an hour.
You can't lose your concentration even once.
Dragon is the master of long battles, while Ichiro has used to end his battles in a few seconds.
Dragon has an obvious advantage.
But… Ichiro is a real Martial Arts Practitioner, and he knows how to stay concentrated and calm during the matches.
Dragon is the one who has made more tiny mistakes in the match.
There are three reasons why he is making mistakes which he would never make against someone else.
1. He is fighting against King— He is a legendary and mysterious existence, and fighting against him is the greatest honor he has ever received. Even though he is acting proud and confident about winning, he really isn't because he knows that King is hiding his true prowess, the prowess which made him the legend.
2. He is very nervous. He knows the consequences this fight will have if he wins. His status would change drastically, and then he would be worshipped the way King is.
3. King is the strongest opponent he has ever faced. Dragon needs to be extremely careful of his every move because King is obviously looking at every weak spot— that alone made Dragon confident that King is Martial Artist in real life!
Looking for weak spots in Night's End is not a good strategy because weak spots the players leave open usually don't even lower HP, and it is also hard to attack the weak spots because you would become wide open, and your opponent can deal more damage than you can.
But Dragon doesn't think King trying to find his weak spots is a terrible strategy.
In fact, it's brilliant!
King is doing it on purpose, so that Dragon can't focus on attacking because King might attack his weak spots, and Dragon is certain that King can lower his % little bit.
Usually, few percent loss wouldn't matter in lower-ranked matches, but finding weak spots in top-ranked matches is crucial.
But even still, not many have attack power to deal enough damage, but King can perhaps deal the most damage in Night's End.
That alone made him a formidable threat.
*CLANK*
Ichiro's and Dragon's shields collided.
Dragon swung his sword, but Ichiro was already prepared and blocked the incoming sword strike with his own sword.
They used their agility to the max and retreated a dozen meters away from each other.
But, instantly, they ran towards each other.
Dragon put his sword above his head and did a powerful straight slash.
He was trying to split Ichiro's avatar in half!
[Dragon's Fang!]
Ichiro quickly did a sidestep and thought that Dragon had made a mistake.
Because Dragon's sword will definitely hit the ground, and his side will be left unguarded, he can't use his shield to block in time.
Ichiro saw his chance and slashed towards Dragon's ribs!
But…
Dragon's sword stopped an inch before hitting the ground— he changed the grip of the sword and swung his sword faster than ever before!
Ichiro widened his eyes and saw Dragon's sword approaching his neck.
[Dragon's Breath!]
Ichiro pushed his head backward, and the sword's blade barely missed his face, but that wasn't the end.
Dragon again changed his grip on the sword.
He did a reverse grip, his sword was pointing behind him, and Ichiro knows that he can't dodge it!
Dragon using the reverse grip swung the sword towards Ichiro!
[Dragon's Descent!]
Ichiro quickly put his shield as a block.
The sword hit the block, which made the shield crack and made Ichiro's legs get buried on the ground.
[KingOfGames - 46%]
Ichiro has 16% less HP!
Everyone is confident that Dragon will be the victor of the match!
…
''It's over.'' A surprised faces was seen everywhere in the luxurious room.
Spiritless sighed, ''This style suits Dragon more— if they were fighting outside the arena, King would win.''
Undying was silent. He was still confident that Ichiro might win, but then he remembered that he might be rusty after not playing for a long time.
…
The spectators were quiet.
A shocked faces was seen on them.
They came here to see King's overwhelming prowess, but apparently, he will lose!
Many felt disappointed and thought that King's legendary deeds were exaggerated.
Many people started playing Night's End because they heard that there was some legendary figure called KingOfGames.
Everyone felt curious about this mysterious individual and wanted to uncover his true identity.
Now the legendary individual in front of them is getting beaten up, and they couldn't hide their disappointment.
…
On Internet.
A heated discussion was going on in every Livestream room.
[OverlordOfLewd: This is the so-called Legendary King? Pathetic]
[ILikeNumbers: Since I started playing Night's End, every day I have heard the name of KingOfGames, people act like he is God, but look at him now, fucking pathetic]
[109Run: I used to be a fan of King because he seemed mysterious and powerful, but I guess he is nothing without his level advantage]
[SandShow: I bet all my earnings that KingOfGames will lose this match!]
[KOG_Is_The_Best: He has not lost yet, morons!]
[OverlordOfLewd: Great, another King fanboy. Listen to me, you little sh*t, 16% difference is massive, and Dragon knows that he holds the advantage. He will keep doing run and hit strategy until he wins]
[ILikeNumbers: @KOG_Is_The_Best Go back to your hole]
[Bird: Hole… Lewd]
[ProfessorOfUselessness: I agree that Dragon is the clear favorite to win this, but you guys must remember that Dragon has played Arena for thousands of hours, and King started a few days ago]
[Lunchy: King has been the strongest because of his superior Mechanical Skills, which is the most important skill in Arena. In theory, if King was really strongest, he should win, but he is doing worse than Undying did against Dragon]
[OverlordOfLewd: Arena is all about who is the best PvP player, and apparently, it was really Dragon. King must be only good fighting against mindless beasts and grinding levels]
[ILikeNumbers: Dragon will be extremely famous after this win. His status will definitely penetrate the heavens]
[Bird: Penetrate… Lewd]
