The three of them were focused as they walked into the room. When Looney, Widde, and Zelter entered, the mechanism activated again, and the door was shut behind them. Unless one party died, the door would not open again.Fane looked at Looney, being interested in him the most among the three challengers. It was not because he felt like Looney was very strong but because long-range warriors were hard to come by.All of his opponents had been close-range warriors. Choosing a technique to learn required a lot of thought, and most warriors would never choose long-ranged techniques. It was obvious that warriors focused on long-ranged techniques would always need to be on alert, and they needed to always be wary on the battlefield.Of course, the benefits were obvious as well. Long-ranged attacks were indisputably more powerful. Many warriors felt like long ranged attacks could safeguard their lives in crucial moments. After all, close-ranged attacks were typically swift and precise, whil
Three gigantic walls appeared in the skies as Looney frantically retreated. He formed seal after seal, and he clapped his hands. The three walls merged into one, and everyone heard a crack as the ice wall separated the two figures.This, however, did not elicit any reaction from his opponent as it quickly pulled out its sword and swung toward the wall. With the golden glow of the sword, the golden-armored fighter easily shattered the ice wall into pieces.Everyone watching the scene was shocked by the sight. They remembered how the silver-armored fighter had struggled with the ice wall. The ice wall recovered so quickly that the silver-armored fighter was not even able to pull out its weapon. Its combat ability weakened greatly as the ice shards got to it.This was not the case with the golden-armored fighter as it easily shattered the three ice walls. The wall only impeded the golden-armored fighter for a second!"He's done for now! Looney's using the strange strategy as before. H
To form a world avatar, one needed to be massively gifted. Most of the warriors there were not incredibly talented and were not that compatible with the laws of the world. Those warriors wanted to enter Cloud Valley so badly but were not capable of it. They were not able to pass either test.In truth, they knew that even if they entered Cloud Valley, they might not even be able to form a world avatar. Every time these people saw someone using a world avatar, jealousy would cloud their minds.After all, world avatars were a sort of proof of talent for warriors, like wearing silk robes among commoners. They would look immensely nobler.Looney was at his wits' end, and it would be bad for him if the situation continued in this route. He needed to kill the golden-armored fighter as soon as possible. Even if he could not kill it, he needed to heavily injure it to stay alive.In the other space, Zelter was doing everything he could as well. Three gigantic flaming beasts were dancing in t
The man who made the remark looked visibly conflicted. He belittled Widde and even believed Widde would be the only person to die out of the three participants. Yet, the results exceeded his expectations. The one everyone believed was the weakest had killed a golden-armored fighter the quickest and ended the battle.Everyone was shell-shocked by the sudden turn of events.A warrior from a second-grade world said, "I saw what happened! When he fought the golden-armored fighter, he didn't seem weaker but didn't seem stronger either. He was basically at the same level as the golden-armored fighter. That alone was enough to shock me. After all, he was at the same level when he fought the silver-armored fighter.""That's right! It's like he's always at the same level as any opponent he faces and would remain in that state until the end. Every time, we assume that he's at his limit and that he wouldn't be able to handle it if it got any harder, yet he surpassed this every time, and each t
The golden-armored fighter frowned before it swung its sword once more. This time, the fighter's sword not only failed to shatter the ice wall but was stuck as well.The ice wall was filled with seals as it quickly regenerated the parts that had been damaged. It was so quick that the golden-armored fighter failed to react in time. It tried to pull back with its golden sword, but the sword was sealed off by the wall. It was immovable!Looney gritted his teeth anxiously and his eyes reddened. The battle had cost him a lot of energy. Using that technique spent most of his true energy, but he had no other choice.Looney shouted angrily as his hands moved, which started to form seals as they floated in the air. A frantic gust of wind was felt summoned from the ground.The golden-armored fighter, sensing a sudden shift in the situation, gave up on its weapon and tried to pull away. Unfortunately, the wind was so quick that just after two steps back, a three-piece ice wall appeared around
Zelter turned to look at the corridor behind him, and only then did he have the time to think about anything else.Widde and Looney were probably still fighting at that moment.He understood the other two participants, in a sense, and he deduced that they were not as strong as he was. He had taken so much effort to defeat the golden-armored fighter, so what more could the other two have done?Amid his thoughts, a ray of golden light surrounded his body. Zelter gaped a bit, but he was not surprised.He knew that this was the light that would send him out. Sure enough, the space around him started to distort the moment he was surrounded by the light. At that moment, he was even thinking about how he would get the chance to look at how the two were doing, that he would be the first to be sent out.After a few seconds, the space around him stabilized.A familiar scene greeted his eyes, and the noise from the spectators rang in his ears as he turned to look at the two other scrolls th
At that moment, they remained level-headed and realized that the biggest winner was the ones who did not place any bets.At that moment, Fane stood up and headed to the registration area, causing the two to jolt in surprise. They thought that Fane would be just like before and would watch a few more matches before he joined, but he was decisive this time—joining after just watching one match.Nalym immediately looked toward Fane. Even though their fight had been put aside for the moment, it did not mean Nalym had given up on causing Fane trouble. Instead, Nalym decided that he would make Fane suffer for not knowing his place.When he saw that Fane had signed up for a bet, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. He cursed in his heart, wishing that Fane would fail the challenge and die inside.Not caring about how everyone else viewed him, Fane remained unperturbed as he calmly signed up before he returned to his seat.After the last match ended, most of the warriors were in quite a b
After choosing the difficulty, they would need to return the other tokens to the caretaker. The remaining token would be the difficulty that they choose.To the spectators, this was getting boring.There were so many warriors in attendance, and most of them had watched over 10 matches. They had not seen anyone who challenged the bronze difficulty and above as nearly everyone chose the black-iron difficulty. After all, just the black iron difficulty alone stopped many people with its 30% death rate.The other challengers would mostly be injured even if they succeeded. For most warriors, an increase in difficulty was suicidal. That was why Nalym's complaints had been mocked so much.Fane looked at the three tokens in his hand, having made his decision before he even signed up. The rewards this time suited Fane perfectly. In the Capture Hall, he had obtained two treasures. The treasures might have been alluring to most, but they were not that useful to Fane at that moment.All of a s
