Two swords made a metallic ringing sound as they struck against each other. The bigger sword belongs to Zarek; he pushed his blade forward with all his strength. There was a wide grin on his face from the excitement he felt from the thrill of his battle with Lucian. Ever since the video Lucian made, he had been waiting for this day, and now that Morwen magic had finally been able to locate Lucian and Luna, Zarek was disappointed. He wasn't disappointed because Lucian barely had anyone on his side as teammates, but rather it was because Lucian was still a weak-ass loser; either that or he was holding himself back because he didn't think Zarek was a worthy opponent for him to use his strength on.
"You haven't been leveling up with your system?" Zarek grunted as he pushed Lucian backwards with his strength. He wasted no time in running after Lucian with his sword in his hand.
Lucian mumbled out curses as he placed his lightning magic on his sword in preparation for another attack from Zarek; he still couldn't believe that a player was able to find him so fast after the video he made. He had hope that he would have enough time to learn how he could use the beast Achiloq magic together with Nova magic, but there was not enough time for that, not when he was about to die due to his own plan. The fact that he was struggling to keep up with Zarek's fast movement in front of Luna, who was being brutally beaten by Zarek's other teammate, was embarrassing. He imagined that if he died, she would laugh at his dead body because their current situation was because of his plans.
Zarek flew over Lucian's lightning sword that aimed to slice his body in two. From behind, he kicks Lucian. "Am I the only one taking this shit seriously?" He asked in rage. He asked his teammates to leave Lucian for him, but he's not seeing any impressive results with this fight. "Don't tell me that this is the best you can do."
Lucian folded his fist in rage as he got back to his feet. His opponent didn't know that he has a broken system that would never favor him in battle; his powers are nothing but stolen abilities that could never be improved. If he ever wants a greater ability, then he is going to have to steal one that is better and stronger than the last ability he stole, and Zarek is looking like Lucian's next power fuel. The curse of his cheat systemless skills is that his life always has to be on the line for any higher power he wants to steal.
"This is a fight to death." Lucian drops his sword and hardens both of his arms regardless of the pain. His arms bleed badly from the abnormal bone formation. He combines his lightning ability together with his improved physical strength and clenched his teeth hard from screaming aloud from the pain he was putting his body through.
'It's either I kill this smug bastard and make his ability mine, or I die from blood loss; there is no way I'm letting him kill me.' Lucian thought and then moved forward to attack.
Zarek blocked Lucian's hit with his sword, but he was extremely pleased with the increase of his strength. "Now we are talking." He tried slashing Lucian's chest, but Lucian blocked off the hit with his arm.
Zarek threw his sword away when he saw that it couldn't slice through Lucian's bleeding arm. He could sense beast magic around Lucian; it slightly bothered and confused his teammates but not him. He would figure out why Lucian's magic was weird when the fight was over with Lucian's death.
'Damn it.' Luna thought and got a punch on her face; she was badly bruised and could barely pay attention to Lucian's fight. Zarek has ordered his teammates to kill her. 'Even with his beast ability, he's still getting his ass whooped. Looks like I'm going to have to use it.' A hard kick landed on her gut and made her roll over.
"This bitch is too easy. Enough toying with her; let's kill her already." A female voice spoke out.
Morwen hid at the back of his teammates; he was weak and didn't want to get in their way. Regardless of his team victory in sight, he didn't want them to win; he wanted to be the one to kill Lucian so that he would be the new villain. He wanted the title and power that came along with it. If Lucian had once been a sidelines player who was nothing until he became the villain of the game, Morwen was confident that he too could also be someone like Lucian who became the villain. With the villain abilities, he would finally have powers he could fight with. Not the stupid tracking ability his system gave him. Morwen had hope that this fight would be a death sentence for his teammates; that way he could pledge his loyalty to Lucian until he had the chance to kill him and become the new villain, but things weren't going his way, at least not until one of his teammates dropped dead after coming in contact with Luna's sword.
"I was hoping that I wouldn't use this, but…" Luna glanced at Lucian, who was being punched repeatedly in the face by Zarek. "I have to save his stupid ass." She moved in swift motion with her sword, using her hidden skills 'death assassin' to cut through Morwen's teammates. Each of them dropped dead even with a little cut; it didn't matter as long as her poisonous blade sliced through their skins.
For each human she slayed, she got an upgrade in her system, making her poisonous skills more deadly than before. Luna hesitanted when she came across Morwen, he was frighten and she still didn't feel right about carelessly taking away human life, it was okay with Morwen teammates because they had beaten her badly and would have killed her if she didn't kill them. Knowing that took away the guilt of her actions, but Morwen wasn't one of those who attacked her; he only stood behind his teammates and watched like a scumbag.
