Chapter 3: Closing Scene Of Lords iii
The duel has been going on for hours with neither side ready to concede victory to the other.
Most of the spectators have logged out of the game to give their body and brain the rest it deserves.
The only one's remaining are the eight members of high rankers from the third high ranker down to the tenth high ranker and some other ranked players.
They were willing to sacrifice their time and give anything they could to witness the final great battle that took place in the world of LORDS.
A historical moment that will be talked about once the closing process of LORDS is completed, there is no way they would not stay to witness such.0
"What is wrong Sango? Your movements are becoming more predictable as time goes on!".
*CLANG!! CLANG!!*
They engaged in a close quarter combat with Erica thrusting her long sword at Sango and in return, he uses his fist to block her attacks while delivering a counterattack of his own.
Above, below. There was no such thing as a place they could not reach with their speed. As long as it is within the barrier world, no place was off limits for them.
The tip of the long sword came down at him from the side and he bent down his head to evade it.
He pressed his feet hard into the ground, gathering a force within it and released it all at once to propel him faster than he would have gone without it.
He was able to close the already little gap that was between him and Erica and landed a jab directly on her stomach.
Erica was pushed back by the jab but that wasn't the end of it all for her.
Sango gave her no breathing space as he hurriedly went after her seconds after being pushed back.
She reached out her long sword to the front to stop Sango from coming closer to her but it did not turn out as she expected.
Sango whose figure was visible before Erica instantly vanished with only the vague shadows that he was once there remaining.
"you call it me getting weaker! But I call it sizing my opponent before giving it my all!".
She turned her head to the back where his voice had come from but she still did not see any sight of him.
"I have grasped the understanding of your skill, how it works against your opponents".
Erica was swift to change her direction and turned her head upward but the presence had already gone before she could see him.
She was lost on what was going on with Sango. She and he have the same stats and are at the same level. Yet somehow he is overwhelming her with a speed advantage.
They never meddled in their virtual life and kept that life separate from their intimate life on earth.
In LORDS, they are mortal enemies aiming to sit on the throne and be crowned the strongest player in LORDS.
With such a goal in sight, they made certain to set some boundaries in their game live, one of which was that, they would never pry into their character design nor will they expose their characters' weaknesses and strength to one another.
That was how much they were into the game. Mind you, the fact that they kept their character life secret from each other did not mean that they were at odds or let the game world guide their judgment in the real world.
They are a couple who fell in love with each other and have vowed to forever be together no matter what comes their way. Not even their goal of being the best in LORDS could disrupt their relationship.
"your armour is a weapon designed to go against your opponent. Reducing whatever damage is done to you by seventy to eighty percent, I think!".
Erica did not bother herself with turning her head because she knew that by the time she does so Sango would already escaped her sight.
She focused solely on her senses, bidding her time and waiting for when Sango decides to attack her instead of taunting her.
"it is impressive really, but that is only when you are up against a noob!".
Erica hastily shifted the trajectory of her sword to the back, slicing through the air with her body turning along with the sword.
"i told you love. Because I love you, does not mean I will go easy on you".
"confessing your love to me with your claws next to my throat is your way of being romantic I presume".
As Erica had earlier shifted the path of her sword, Sango was able to move in between it and get himself behind her, sharply going for her throat while he stops her sword movement by using his hand to pin down her hand that was holding unto the sword.
"what do you think? Do you feel romanticized by me".
Sango slowly reaches out his mouth, placing it very close to her ear and whispering in it in a seductive way.
The spectators were wondering what it was they were doing with some even questioning if Sango was molesting Erica.
"i will be sure to show you how romanticized I am by your actions later. But first, there is business to take care of".
"Skill; breathe of the Slayer!".
Erica after activating her skill, took a deep breathe in and moved her head toward Sango's claws.
She aggressively fought her way out of his hold with the claw scratching through her neck and dealing no damage to her.
Breathe Of The Slayer is a skill that grants her temporary immunity to all abnormalities both physically and mentally.
The skill's usage lasts for about ten minutes before going into a cool down time.
It wasn't as long as this when she first got it but due to upgrading the level and the skill's, she was able to increase the time usage and has no backlash on her Mp that is ridiculously high.
"you really are not going to make this easy for me, are you".
Upon getting out of his hold, Erica was quick to distance herself away from him to recollect her senses.
Sango sighed deeply before he starts making his way toward Erica.
"what th!".
He was met with surprise after he took his fifth step and noticed the light shining below him.
Sango wanted to hurriedly move away from the light and take his body to the sky, but no matter how much he resisted, he could not escape the reach of the light as it swallowed him whole.
