Chapter 8: Underground
I glanced at the screen while I am sitting here recovering.
|Profecency: 100%|
time to make Zete form go through an awakening.
I used the profecency on Zete as I saw the sword glow a little.
|Zete(super-Rare)|
|Skill acquired: Flashstep|
|Flashstep : Move at blinding speed, seemingly teleporting, Radius : 5 meters|
It seemed like a good skill but the range of five meteres was something ristricting,
But if I was fighting PVP then this would be quite useful in close combat.I felt the two swords but the Holy sword in zete form felt a little different.
A lot sharper, it made the original Zete feel a bit dull.
I would need to fight for sometime to get used to these changes.
I felt my body heal up as I sat looking at the woman standing in front of me, I didn't like saying but she was far more experienced in fighting that made made hunter like me fall short in terms of experience.
I got up cracking my neck as I could feel Fredta's eyes digging into me.
"You know, I could really do well without you digging holes into me"
"Follow me, I can introduce you to a a pair of party members but how you get them is on your head." She said as We walked out of the inn.
"And how do I do that?"
"Beating them up, I know them quite well iin that regard"
"Won't you hold a grudge against me if I beat them up too much?"
"Yes, I will." she replied without hesitating
"Oh for fucks sake, you want me to control how much I beat them up?"
"Yes I do,"
"And what if I don't want them?"
"I will leave the choice to you"
"It seems they are good enough"
"Yes they are."
We arrived at what looked like a souvenier shop, with a flashy front, as we entered I saw a familiar face at the counter.
"Oh my, didn't expect to see you here, Adric!!" This was of course the Fox from this morning, although she was wearing quite tame clothing compared to how I first saw her.
"Don't get ideas Leta, he is not here to play right now" Fredta said as the fox pouted.
"I know mistress, you wouldn't have come with him otherwise" she replied as I sighed.
"So they are here?" I assked as Fredta shook her head taking me to the back of the shop into an underground enterance as I could hear loud shouts coming from the bottom.
and we came out into a lit up underground space supported by big beefy pillars, about 30 feet high with arches overhead and about as big as a football field.
It was then I focused on the crowd and the platform erected at the centre.
"This is called the Kilnk, I don't have to explain what its for do I?"
"Fighting, I guess"
"Pretty much, today is the monthly championship tournament, you will meet them, the first one is Kelin, and teh second is Arna." Fredta informed me, as we arrived at the stands overlooking the platform.
"The tournament will be three days long and you will have to stay in the dorms during that time, have to survive day and night, and defeat the two of them, Kelin uses a giant axe, while Arna uses a spear similar to mine. They will be working together in order to win hopefully you reach them first before the others" She explained as I looked at the arena it was a demi human fighting what looked like a mix between a bear and a lion. and of course the demi human got slaughtered.
while the guards lept in controlling the beast with the salve crest herding it back into its cage while cleaning up the remains.
"So what will be the format?"
"Don't know, that fuckface will decide," She spoke gesturing towards a man sitting on a Sofa in a VIP area closed off from the rest of the stands.
"Hmm...Can I wear a mask?"
"Well you can? Want one?"
"Yes please" I replied as Fredta snapped her fingers and one of the guards walked up,
"Get him a mask, and enter him into the tournament" She spoke as I looked at her.
"Their tounges are cut off, so don't worry about them telling anyone. And I hope you get to them first."she said as I raised an eyebrow
"Well anything else I should know?"
"Be careful in the later rounds from what I picked up its going to get skecthy for people below level 20 to survive so dropout after getting to them"
"What if I win?"
"You won't be winning"
"Let's just say I do."
Fredtaa smirked totally confident that I will lose, "If you win, I won't charge you for services for one year" she replied as i smirked.
"It's a bet, I lose then I will take two of your requests" I replied she seemed satisfied with that and left as I followed the guard down where I was handed a plain black mask, and shown to a stone that read my level which showed up 15
then was shown into the waiting area.
There were about thirty or more people each different from before,
"May I have your attention please," I heard a voice turning towards it I spotted a man with a walking stick standing on what looked like a salesman but in medival times.
"Good since you all are here you are the last group, group four to be exact, only seven of you will be able to proceed into the next round. One thing I want to make clear no elemenations in the dorms, if you want to kill do it in the arena, you can main injure or fight all you want in the dorms but you can't kill if you do you will go to the penalty ground. Lord Herlos will annonce the rules good luck." and then he walked off along with an entorge of guards. and almost immeditely I dodged a giant fist coming form the sdie even though I was missing an eye didn't mean I couldn't sense the attack.
"Seems like it will be fun...." The man who had tried to punch me said but immeditely a dagger went through his arm. As I looked at one of the guards standing on the catwalks above.
I think this idiot forgot this wasn't the droms or the arena this was the waiting area.
I could hear people in the group mutter idiot, as the gates finally opened.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I Herlos! Welcome you to the monthly Tournament of Stakes!!" he shouted as the crowd around roared. I kept looking around our group not finding a girl and a boy weilding a spear and axe.
"Today!! We will see who has the greatest strength of them all!!" he shouted as his voice was boosted by some kind of device.
"From each group only seven individuals will survive, all of them are below level 20 so everything goes, magic, posion, underhanded tactics, one vs many!!" he started riling up the crowd that had came to watch.
As he riled up the crowd I stood looking as the first group was allowed to enter the platform.
"The last seven standing proceed to the next round!!"
WOOOOOO~
The crowd cheered as I saw a large metal plate being banged to signal the start of the round.
I kept looking through the people until I found my target, in group three.
A girl around 18 or 19 leaning on a black spear which was similar to the one Ferdta was using, then at the boy who looked around the same age holding a war axe.

Arna and Kelin they seemed to be in group three hopefully they could survive till I was able to face them.
I looked at the battle that was being fought literally like that man said anything went.
Poison, backstabs overall it was a brawl.
A brawl in which you would be killed if you were not strong, or you could be killed if you were too strong since you will be teamed up against.
