章 73: First Match
As soon as he confirmed that he was ready, changes began happening on the platform he was standing on. At the same time, an interface appeared out of nowhere in front of him. Fell's sight focused on it and he managed to read the two lines that were written on it.
"The User 'Stroke' has entered the matchmaking pool, you will be put against an opponent of your ranking."
"Current Rank: 0W/ 0L"
Before he even had the time to finish reading it, another interface popped on top of the other.
"An opponent has been found! You will be transported in 3…2…!", Fell's mouth opened in surprise. "Quite well made", this thought traversed his mind as the number 1 appeared on the interface.
A blinding light appeared in front of the center of the ring that was in the solitary mountain peak. Fell's figure disappeared from the place. His figure appeared on a familiar fighting ring, but this time the ring wasn't placed on a mountain peak. The martial art ring was floating calmly in the middle of the sky, and the sun stood proudly on top of it.
In front of Fell stood a humanoid figure. The man in front of him was part of the multiple humanoid species of the universe, he was wearing purple clothing and he resembled Earthlings. The only difference between them was that his skin was grey, and a third eye could be seen on his forehead.
"Hello", Fell saluted his opponent politely with his fist resting on his other hand. He then assumed a martial stance and gathered his battle intent.
The purple clothed grey man nodded and mimicked his opponent. He then assumed his own fighting stance. His arms were raised in front of his chest, and his leg crouched low ready to pounce on his opponent.
Both opponents cautiously watched each other, trying to find a weak point. As it was their first match in Battle Center, they didn't want to lose due to a beginner's mistake. A few seconds passed and no movement was made by the two men, it was as if their leg was deeply rooted to the ground.
Finally, the man with grey skin decided that he had gathered enough information from his opponent's pose and decided that it was time to attack.
"I just need to execute what I was taught in the clan! I need to reduce my opponent's potential answer to my attacks. This is the sure way to win in a match!" As soon as he decided himself, Fell's opponent's third eye swiftly opened and flashed in a soft purple colored light.
There was as much diverse life form in the universe as there were planets and realms. Having several limbs wasn't something strange, it was the same for having more than two eyes. Having a third eye was just related to having a higher perception. The grey-skinned man was no different, his third eye was part of his species characteristic and due to it, he boasted a slightly higher perception than the average race. Making the spiritual laws of the universe easier to perceive and understand.
Fell saw the man's third eyes flash open, and in the next moment, he lost track of his opponent's figure. The purple clothed man appeared half a step in front of Fell, on his hands were two sharp knives, in the midst of a deadly descent aimed at his throat.
"Quite the deadly toys!" Fell thought before crossing his arms in front of him. But the attack he expected didn't happen; a cold sensation in his neck awakened an alarm in his mind and he immediately ducked into evade the blow. The knives cut through the air as they missed Fell's back by a thin margin.
"Fuck, Assassin type is the most troublesome to deal with…", his mind worked as his body moved. He turned around directly after evading the man's blow, seriousness replaced his facial expression as he swiftly stepped in.
His fist was sent straight toward the purple clothed man's face. The man's face, grey and deadly, didn't have any expression marked on it. He looked at the fist approach him. Fell's fist collided with his opponent's face, but an odd sensation of emptiness was felt as he punched through his opponent's head.
"Crap! Another bait", He thought as his legs kicked the ground to evade the stab that was traveling toward his lower back.
"You want to play it like this, ugh!" Fell's leg immediately kicked the ground, but no sound was heard during his hard stomp. Then, he swiftly disappeared from the ring. Ghostly Stutter was used by Fell soon after being created.
