Chapter 670: The Boulder
--
Cedric was back to the Virtual Arena.
The cruise was nice, but he had seen everything that he wanted to see there. He also didn’t feel like staring outside as the ship swam through the vast blanket of stars; that sight has gotten old somehow by now.
So, to stave off his boredom and to keep himself occupied before the ship arrives at its next destination, he decided to go participate and watch some matches himself.
He queued up for a match and was instantly thrown into the battlefield. He still couldn’t get over how fast the matchmaking system here was; there are practically a lot of people who are looking for a fight anytime of the day, it seems, and even Immortals aren’t rare.
When his senses recovered, Cedric saw himself standing in the vacuum of space. It seems that this was the randomized battlefield chosen for him and his opponent this time.
Speaking of his opponent, he saw him.
He’s against a heavily armored man with a halberd. He was covered with steel from head to toe. His armor looked both heavy and uncomfortable. Cedric was a bit surprised because there were certainly better options for armor out there, ones that are not only durable but also very comfortable to wear, but this one insisted on wearing this bulky thing instead.
Well, not that he could speak for himself since he’s not wearing any armor either. But maybe there is a good reason why this dude was wearing this.
’The Boulder, huh? ’Cedric, he muttered to himself as he saw the codename of his opponent.
This codename hints that his opponent might be a defense specialist. But there’s no telling until the match starts.
Another thing that Cedric discovered, though, is the number of people watching this match currently.
