[VRMMO] Dead One

<<Welp, Wretch lost.>>

<<Honestly, I did expected him to lose, since Mug was a monster in his own right.>>

<<But I guess Wretch at least made some solid impression.>>

<<He really did not went without fight.>>

<<However I'm curios about something.>>

<<What happened back then when nobody could see?>>

<<We asked Wretch about the match and he told us that… He didn't knew?>>

<<According to him, the attack should had dealt some critical damage to him… Yet he somehow not only dodged that, but also out of nowhere was behind him.>>

<<And in the next moment? He had a hole in his torso.>>

<<Apparently it wasn't the skill that screwed him last time, since he had already survived it before.>>

<<He didn't knew what it was.>>

<<…. I guess that bastard Mug still has some cards up his sleeve that he didn't showed to anybody.>>

<<Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Mug were to win this tournament.>>

<<However, it is still yet to debate, as there was another match happening.>>

<<Long vs Alamin.>>

[Player [Long] has declared his ready status.]

[Player [Alamin] has declared his ready status.]

[Match will be starting.]

[Preparation phase has begun.]

(Okay, this isn't going to be easy.) – thought Alamin as he started buffing himself alongside Long, who instantly took on his monster form from the get go.

(Long is definitely going to beat my ass in hard way.)

(The hybrid builds users who specializes in both magic and physical attacks are straight up his prey.)

(Meaning, he is my counter.)

(Not only that, he also possesses several defense-oriented classes. He is a tank.)

(Even if he doesn't use skills, he has more than enough passive and items that allows him handle any shit thrown at him.)

(He also has berserker-build…. Which and for tanks, this is just straight up bullshit…. Man. They really need to nerf that thing. I mean, everybody is using that build!)

(He is probably expecting me to go full power from the get go in order to pill up damage from the start.) – thought Alamin.

(He will aim to counter me and then wreck my shit.)

[4]

[3]

(But I will freaking caught him off guard by sending my counter instead! The moment he unleashes his own, he will realize that the attack was a bait! And I will be the first one to score a hit!)

[FIGHT]

"[Four Seasons: Breaker Of Hunt]."

"?!"

Alamin wasn't the first one to make a move.

It was Long who instantly fired off his skill, launching himself at the alarming rate at the human swordman.

(He is coming after me?!) – thought Alamin who instantly deployed his [Nephalem Art: Barrier], conjuring a barrier of combined demonic and holy energy around the man.

"[Four Seasons: Breaker Of Myths]!" – however Long expected it as he instantly fired off his skill destroying attack, which shattered Alamin barrier.

And with the combination of both [Four Seasons: Breaker Of Hunt] and [Four Seasons: Breaker Of Myths], Long managed to not only secure the first hit, but also a powerful one with the combination of his two skills.

(Shit! I need to-)

"[Four Seasons: Breaker Of Champions]!"

Alamin wasn't given enough time to do anything as Long straight up unlashed an ultimate attack, punching Alamin right in chest to the point it straight up sunk a bit, before moments later a shockwave of his punch sent the man flying far away.

Alamin tried stopping himself, but Long wasn't letting up as he used his [Four Beasts Fighter] skill, the [Chasing Wing Step] to quickly fallow after the man.

"[Conquest Of Four Beasts]!" – Alamin tried raising up his guard, but once again it was fruitless as Long somehow sped up once again, straight up destroying the distance between the two men and putting his palm on Alamina's chest, which was then instantly fallowed up with the burst of golden light in form of a ring that smashed Alamin's entire body and sent it flying further away.

(W-what?!) – Alamin couldn't wrap his head about what was going on, but just in time he managed to use [Grey Gate], manifesting a grey colored gate way that took Alamin away, teleporting him just in time as Long's feet was about to crush the man.

"[Turtle Snake Whip]!" – however, Long didn't stopped attacking as he suddenly swung around his fist, extending it and making it look like a whip, before then striking Alamin who just teleported away, hitting him with a whiplike arm that acted like a hammer.

"!?"

(He knew where I teleported?!) – thought Alamin as he was instantly throw off balance, which gave Long enough time to close the distance once again.

"[Tiger Fang]!"

"[Turtle Head]!"

"[Bird Talon]!"

"[Lizard Tonge]!"

Long fired off a barrage of his [Four Beasts Fighter] skills left and right, stacking up the damage at the alarming rate, even when Alamin was trying defend himself and counter attack.

"[Grey Man Blade]!" – however, it wasn't completely enough to stop Alamin from moving as he unleashed his skill that fired off a projectile so fast that it landed a solid blow on the martial artist, which stopped him in the tracks for the moment.

However, only for a moment, as he then started once again started launching his series of blows.

But the said pause did gave Alamin a moment to finally put up solid guard, causing now the blows to not be necessary one sided as the two men started now exchanging solid blows between each other.

(Dammit! The hell is going on?!) – thought confused Alamin as he was throwing his holy blade skills as well as demonic blade skills left and right in order to keep Long at bay.

(What is this hyper aggressive fighting style!? This isn't like him!)

(Not only that, he already hit me with freaking 2 utlimates from the get go?!)

"[Grey Man Grasp]!" – Alamin manifested tendrils of grey energy from underneath his legs and instantly wrapped themselves around the Long, restricting his movement.

"!?"

(What is this stuff?!) – thought Long who had hard time moving because of the bindings.

"[Grey Lord]!" – Alamin unleashed his ultimate attack, firing off a ginormous amount of greyish mana in form of towering slash that covered the entire area, which landed a solid blow across Long's entire body, slashing it all.

"!"

"[Forget Fist: Hammer]!" – however, Long wasn't done yet as he instantly counter attacked with his fist, which secured a solid blow on the swordman and sent him flying.

"…"

"Tch."

(Barrier.) – thought Long as he saw demonic barrier shattering around Alamin.

(Did he used it after using his ultimate, was he expecting me to counter attack?)

(He can think.)

(Still, it won't matter.)

(He is already marked.)

[Class]

[Fist Of Four Beasts And Four Seasons]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Skill]

[Four Seasons: Breaker Of Hunt]

[Single target. Upon setting a target, the user will have increased movement speed when traveling towards the "prey". Increase any form of damage dealt to the "prey" by the user's hands. This skill be instantly deactivated the moment the user attacks any other target that isn't market by this skill.]

[As long as the target posses the "prey" status, you will be able to know their exact location, even if they are using stealth type skills.]

[This skill cannot track the foes that are more than 2 kilometers away. If the target escapes the skill range, the skill will instantly be deactivated.]

[When this skill is used at first, the user can launch themselves towards the target with their speed doubled for a few seconds.]

(Still, I shouldn't let my guard down.) – thought Long who wasn't charging just yet at Alamin and instead awaiting the swordman to do something, causing Alamin to stop in tracks as he realized if he were to start healing now, Long would instantly go and interrupt him.

(Demonic classes for offence while holy classes for defense.)

(Berserker for survivability and damage.)

(And warrior and swordman as his main core.)

(He also has [Nephalem Paladin], a class that combines together both strong sides of holy and demonic classes.)

(And most important, he has his two grey classes.)

(They are definitely two separated ones.)

(One unique.)

(And one legendary.)

(The unique on skills has only "grey" in them, while the legendary one has "grey man" in them.)

(Out of all the stuff he has, I need to watch out for the grey skills and the nephalem skills, since they are his strongest weapons.)

"…"

(But at the same time, they are his strongest weakness.)

(Alamin is an all-rounder, he can do all sorts of stuff all on his own.)

(However, what happens if I just force him to rely only on physical type skills?)

(As long as I don't give him room to breathe, he won't be able to use any magic skills.)

(Not only that, but thanks to my [Iron Forge Fighter] and [Metal Mage], I can not only enchant my defenses further, but I can also increase my hits power.)

(He won't escape.)

(I won't let him escape.)

(I will trap him like a spider and then slaughter him without mercy.)

(This is how this fight will end!)
