The players are chanting through their mic.
"Number 1! Number 1! Number 1!"
No one is chanting for me tho.
"Do it no buffs and potions!" A player shouted "That's Mighty's motto!"
Looks like I have a fan after all.
GreatKiller and I exchanged glances "Yeah, no buffs and potions"
By the looks of his armor, he is aiming for a tank build, high damage, and health. That means he is slow.
I am aiming for damage, critical and health too, but my defence will be low. I should be careful he might one shot me. With my attributes and attribute multiplier, I have a 2,263 health, he have 2,890. I looked at the other's players health, most are still below 2,000 health.
I looked at my skills, I gained new skills when I farmed the boss. I need an armor penetration, without it, his armor just reduced my damage greatly. I might not deal any damage at all.
Breaking Elbow, it breaks the enemies' armor, reducing it 20% for 5 seconds, it does not stack, deals 515 damage. It may be low but at least I can deal some more damage.
Piercing Strike, it attacks through armor. It ignores 30% of the opponents armor and deal 660 damage, critical damage may apply. Great this is good, perfect timing.
I can only have 3 skills for now, 5 in the late game. I don't need Kick Slam and Fist Burst anymore. I exchange them both for Piercing Strike and Breaking Elbow. I need the Fighter's Fury if I am desperate for health.
If I combine Breaking Elbow and Piercing Strike. With Breaking Elbow reducing his armor, then with Piercing Strike will ignore 30%, that means it felt like he only has 50% armor.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes"
He raised his sword, signaling the fight started. We both made a circle, waiting who attacks first. It is always letting someone attacks first. If this goes on, no one will ever attack. I'll do it first then, even if I will the first one to get damaged.
I dashed forward and threw a basic attack.
!?
He... Parried my attack!? I didn't know there's parry and block in this game, I thought it was only dodge. This is embarrassing, I have played a lot of games before, and forgetting about parry and blocking is embarrassing.
He countered me with a basic attack, a 789 damage. I am not sure if my damage reduction is working but it is only 8.4%.
"Cutting Through"
In a flash, he went through me, damaging a huge chunk of my health. I am in a brink of death, I knew this would happen. I need to heal back.
I activated both of my Fighter's Fury and Breaking Elbow and landed a blow to him. I debuffed his armor, I only dealt 264 damage but got chunks of my health back.
Now, for Piercing Strike, I landed the skill. I dealt a high critical damage, triples my base damage. I got back to full health.
He was about to attack, I parried it, stunning him for 3 seconds and continued damaging him. I dashed backwards when he regained himself.
The crowd went wild.
"He was about to die but was carried by lifesteal!"
"Was that a buff? I thought there's no buff"
"That's cheating!"
"Why is it cheating when it is literally in the game!"
GreatKiller's sword started emitting blue aura, he might have buffed his sword. Damage? Critical? Piercing? I don't know, as long as I don't get hit with it.
I activated my Breaking Elbow , we both dashed at the same time, missing each other's attack. Normal thing that happens in PvP's. We attacked each other again, I debuffed his armor again, but his sword damaged me, the aura dissapeared.
!?
I got a debuff, I can't use any of my skills for 6 seconds! I see, that's what it do. Without my abilities, I am near to nothing.
'Cutting Through'
He activated a skill again. That ability is to dash and damage whoever is on the way in a small distance but medium area. I dodged out of the way during the dash.
'Slashing Air'
He slashed the air, a visible white slashes flew towards me, I dodged again.
Now we learned all of his abilities, Cutting Through, Air Slash, and the one that nullify my skills. But of course, he also learned mine.
---Meanwhile At The Tiforce---
"Sir, are you looking at this?"
"What now? What's happening in the game?"
"We have the first PvP fight in the game. A lot of players are clearly watching it right now and recording it live. It's clearly the most watched video of our game now"
Clapped his hands "Amazing! Wait why now, it's nearly 47 minutes"
"Because we only made PvP available when the player reached level 20 so they have to get used to the game first and make sure that they are willing to do a PvP. And of course we made leveling up hard"
"And who are these two dueling?"
"The same player from before. Mighty One and GreatKiller. Both of them are the top of the global"
"I am not sure but somehow, I heard the name Mighty One before from another game but I am not sure. Get us a bag of chips and let's watch this duel"
---Back At The Dueling---
We exchanged attacks for a while. I kept on healing while he is dying. He need more just to kill me, but of course I also need more damage and brain to make him fall.
We walked in circle again, waiting whoever attacks first.
"Urckeeee"
Huh?
I looked at my bed, the girl with the glasses is puking on my sheets.
"Woooooiiii!!! Don't puke on my bed!" I shouted at the top of my lungs
"Eh, is something wrong there Mighty?"
"N-no, nothing. Don't get distracted by me. Just continue the fight"
"No, I am not fighting someone who got distracted"
"Just ignore it, a drunk bastart is just puking on my bed"
He chuckled "Pu-pu-puking! Hahaha!"
"Just focus on the fight man!"
"Okay okay"
Players around laughed at our conversation.
I'm still not sure what are the attributes of his equipments, but they are not showing, or am I missing something?
There's no crit, buffs or something it gives him. I really have to play this safe, he might surprise me out of nowhere.
I activated my Fighter's Fury and ran up to him. I unleashed a basic attack and dashed backwards, cancelling my attack. He blocked, trying to parry it.
Parry needs perfect timing, if too late or too early, you will get damaged or reduced.
I wasted no time activating my Breaking Elbow and landed it to him. His health is 513, I am almost there!
I activated my Piercing Strike and landed the final blow. His character fall to the ground with a dramatic death animation.
"Hah, looks like I won!"
"No, not yet"
!?
Suddenly, his health suddenly started regenerating, getting back 35% of his health. His character rose again.
Did he used a potion? No, there's always an animation when healing. Maybe an attribute?
Somehow, his character is emitting a white aura, a buff. What the hell happened!? If I will never know what it is I will never know how to counter it!
"Hey, I thought there's no healing?"
"No healing man you cheater!"
"******* you saw there was no healing animation"
"Even Mighty isn't complaining"
"Does he know?"
He ran up to me and attacked, I parried and exchanged a barrage of attack, somehow, I am only dealing 60 to 150 damage of basic attacks. His defence went up!
I rolled back, re-stancing myself. He suddenly made an air slash, I dodge to the right.
Suddenly, a marked area revealed on the ground. It's the Cutting Through! He predicted where I go! I can't dodge again since it's on cool down!
He cut through, he made a devastating damage on me. My health is only 73! Not only defence, but his critical chance and damage!
I need lifesteal, but my Breaking Elbow is still on cool down mostly my Fighter's Fury. All I have is Piercing Strike, it has a large reach when I activate it and attack.
I need to attack him while he is still in animation. I activated my Piercing Strike and attacked him, I followed with basic attacks and retreated. I only healed nearly half a health.
C'mon c'mon, my skills are still in cool down!
Just like before, his sword started emitting blue aura. Oh c'mon! An area made below my feet. Again with the Cutting Through, was it's cool down really that small?
By the time it activated, I parried it. I received no damage and no debuffs. Both of my Fighter's Fury and Breaking Elbow, suddenly, his white aura dissapeared. Another perfect timing.
I ran up to him, I activated my Fighter's Fury. I unleashed an attack and dash backwards. He blocked, looks like someone didn't learn before.
My Piercing Strike came once more, as if it is saying this is the time. I attacked him with my Breaking Elbow. Then my Piercing Strike, I landed the blow, it is a crit! All his health went down.
His character fall to the ground. The crowd went wild.
"He defeated him!?
"Number 2 won!"
"Where's my money!"
"I won a bet! I won in a gamble!"
Suddenly, the character is shining green. It started standing up again . My game is still detecting combat.
Not this again!
"Wait a minute this isn't done yet"
"Again!?"
"This gotta be the longest 1v1 PvP fight ever!"
His character is emitting red aura. Now a new buff. I watched in horror, still analyzing what is his attributes.
"I surrender"
He said with a surrendering voice. I was confused.
"Eh?"
He sighed through the mic "Even if I go on the outcome will still be the same"
The crowd shouted, celebrating, amazed, confused.
He activated his handshake taunt "It was a nice duel with you"
---At Tiforce---
"That was a... Good fight. Can you check what is Great, uhh, whatever, his attributes"
"Let me check. When his health reach 0%, he will instantly heal back 35% of his health, also gaining 40% defence for the 15 seconds. This attribute can be obtained by a mythic item Armor Of The Frisk from a Level 42 Lily Center of Nature realm. Only activates once in a fight.
And the other one, when he died, he will re-awaken regaining back his 50% of his health. All his cool down will be reduced to 50% and gain a 30% damage for the first 13 seconds.
But I would also agree to his decision. The outcome will still be the same, Mighty will still win with pure skills"
"I see, I hope we didn't made him too much powerful"
"And there's more attri-"
"I don't care, that's all I need to know"
---
"Uhh Mighty, are you there?"
"Why the hell would you puke on my bed!"
"I'm sorry"
"Zoe, you will clean this!"
