Chapter 98: Flame Control and 15 Kings - Fire Witch

"Hehe, you're surprised, right? I am kind of surprised by the time I heard that he has an unknown class! That is why he got the [Metal Prince] while the optimistic guy with [Tempest Swordsman] class is called the [Tempest Prince]!

Now, the [Elemental Prince] is complete! HAHA." Levy kind of annoys me.

It seems like they named them by our elements and connected them to mine since they can't think of anything. But what Levy said was true.

Ice came from water, fire is fire, the tempest is a subsidiary element of wind while the metals are born from the earth...

"Control, is it? Then maybe [Absolute Metal Control] is enough?" I asked as I stared at his shy face. His face is also pretty but his characteristics kind of annoys me.

***

The [Faragos Knight] chose the place called [Dream Plain]. a grassy plain in the [Fairy Empire].

[Fairy Empire] is at the northern part of the continent besides the [Elven Empire] and above [Dwarven Empire]

That is why I regret that I placed the teleportation scroll's sigil in the mountain from earlier in the [Fairy Kingdom] is only above the [Dwarven Empire]

Now, we are now assembled and we are heading towards the [Dream Plain] with our hoods are on. We also met a lot of fairies mid-way and guided us towards the plain.

[Fairies] are very friendly, they liked humans, dragons, elves, and druids but they hate demons and dwarves. They also welcome the beastmen but they will only welcome them based on their race. There is something that happened between their races that affected the fairies after all.

When we arrived on the plain, a lot of people arrived from different guilds. I also saw my brothers and sisters.

'Are they going to watch us?!' I sighed inwardly as I haven't shown any movements.

Ahead, there are the members of the [Faragos Knights], they are not hostile but it seems like there is the reason why they're doing this.

"Then, how about let's start?" Xavier said coldly as his eyes glowed.

"Let's have this order, we will pick a member first and you'll pick our opponent and vice versa," I said with a childish voice.

"That is in our favor, are you sure?" The leader named [Regulus] said as he asked in confusion.

"Yeah!" Xavier replied in my place.

'In your favor, my ass...' I cursed them as I looked into the members who looked promising. It seems like they are rankers. There are more than 30 of them but nobody felt intimidated. Even our newest members aren't feeling any intimidation at all.

"Then, let's start!" Regulus said with an excited expression on his face.

"Then, let's have the [Fire Witch] do the first battle!" Xavier said as he smiled a little bit.

Helena walked forward with her face is hidden and said, "Choose my enemy..."

A man with blue hair and eyes walked forward and smiled, "To think that this angelic voice is hiding her face..."

"Angelic voice?" She is speechless. She doesn't know what he is planning but she planned that she must never lower her guard.

~~~

"Initiate Duel," Both of the players said in unison.

[Duel is initiating...]

[Limited-time event is initiating...]

[Random Battle...]

[Duel Start!]

[Brink of Life: On this battle, the player whose health dropped to 20% will be automatically lost.]

The man immediately cast a spell that can bind a target.

[Cold Feet]!

The water on Helena's feet froze and in an instant, she can't move her feet and hands.

"Your offensive and defensive stats and skills are all-powerful and they are all proficient. You also use speed to dodge the attacks of the opponents that use the counter-element for your skills. That means, your weakness is the counter element of fire, the water element." He deduced as he smirked.

During these three months, all of the kings except for Theo and Blake are actively doing a lot of things and in some events, they are in the live stream. That is why their abilities are getting leaked and exposed.

That is true for Helena, she can't win against water elemental players before she got her skills from Theo. Because before, her class as the [Pure Fire Empress] have a drawback that the counter elements will damage her a lot of times.

But not anymore, Theo gave her the skill, [Absolute Water Resistance] to hide that weakness.

But due to her habit of avoiding the water elemental skills, she keeps avoiding them. She got used to it. These are all the same for the other kings. They are used to their habits of avoiding or doing some strategies to cover their weakness so even though they all got new skills from Theo, they can't remove the habit in their own free will.

"Then, let me use my whole magic power and mana on this attack..." An intense swirling tornado appeared, surrounding the caster and gather them in a single point.

The skill is getting bigger and bigger. When the mana and magic power are enough, the skill is released.

[Water Sword!]

It is a destructive beam of water. It is directly headed towards Helena.

Helena is muttering some words, [Flame Control: Scorching Wall]

Without a delay, the wall of fire that is more powerful than the beam of water appeared in front of her. When the water beam contacted the flame, the water evaporated.

"What?!" He can't believe what did Helena just did. No players can cast magic without their staff, wands, or any apparatus including hands.

But that only applies to the normal mages. Mages with manipulation or control-type skill such as [Absolute Metal Control], [Vine Control], and [Flame Control] can control their respective elements with their own will.

These skills are all extremely rare to obtain. If this was put on an auction, it would cost 50 diamond coins just to obtain it.

"Control-type skill?!" He is regretting what he just did. If he knew that she has the [Flame Control] then, he shouldn't have been used all of his mana to attack her.

Helena used [Fire Control] to melt the ice that binds her in the same place and position.

Mages with these kinds of skills are unnoticeable because they still need staff for better damage input to the enemies.

Now, that he exhausted his mana because of his reckless move, he can't do anything now.

He can't run because that is the most important rule in a duel. He also can't surrender because the game requires 20% of the opponent's health to win the duel. If he broke the rule, he will die immediately and he is not allowed to go back into the game for a whole week.

The only thing he can do now is to take damage.

But the damage sensor is somehow similar to reality! If you got burned here, you will feel the burning sensation that is similar to how you burn in real life.

It means, if you got beheaded, the pain is immeasurable...

Helena raised her hands and gathered fire elements in the air. The flame is spinning violently.

It is one of the deciding moves Helena...

[Destructive Flame Edge]

It is similar to the dragon's breathe but this skill is spinning. That simply means that even if the enemy has fire resistance, then the force and momentum of the spinning edge will definitely damage the opponent.

But the enemy has low fire resistance.

It directly hits him because the momentum is so quick.

[You received a direct hit! -4,500,288 Health]

[You received the additional damage! -2,250,144 Health]

[You died]

The man fell to the ground and it disappeared like ashes. The man's life is only 2 million and one hundred.

It is instant death.

Everyone in the area is dumbstruck, they can't believe that a powerful move like that just evaporated after getting contacted by Helena's skill. On top of that, she eliminated him in an instant.

This may be the result of being too confident by the [Faragos Guild]

[Player Franklin has been eliminated!]

[Winner: [Fire Witch]!]

[Grade: Excellent]

[Rewards will be given shortly.]

Theo opened the live stream that is showing the duel from earlier and saw their reactions.

Their reactions are varied. Some are frightened and some are amazed.

It is just that Franklin is a top 15 ranker of the game in the overall ranking lists. Well, Theo and the other's names are still unknown to the public so they can't just rank them randomly.

"Rule one, don't get ahead of yourselves. Rule two, always preserve your energy..." She muttered as she went back to our group.

"That was a nice fight," Xavier said as he smiled.

"It's not worth the compliment. He is too confident to himself and forgot that he is just a mage too..." She said as she shook her head.

"Choose your members on this round..." Xavier announced as Regulus started to get nervous about who are they just challenging.

They looked down on everyone including the [Silent Guild] but they can't just look down at them because of the fact that they are monsters.

That is why they tried to find their weaknesses to become superior to them but it is a big mistake. Theo is irregular in this game. He is too godly for this game. His every single move is unpredictable and his power is limitless.

'But we can't go back now, I am confident of my member's power.' Regulus said as he stared at his members behind him.

"John, your turn..." He said with a serious tone,

"Yes." John looks like a man with pride and dignity. He looks promising too.

He walked towards space where Helena and Franklin dueled.

When he arrived at the spot, Xavier asked Theo, "Can you?"

Xavier is asking Theo to [Appraise] him.

Theo stared at him for five seconds and his status showed in front of him.

[Name: John]

[Level: 1,997]

[Class: Brawl Tamer]

"His stats and class showed me that he uses physical attacks and he can summon beasts too. He can probably use magic too since his intelligence is quite high..." Theo whispered and suddenly looked at Levy.

Levy specializes in multiple enemies, similar to Xavier. But Xavier isn't good at one on one but because of the skills that Theo gave him, he won't get a problem but just like Helena, he is probably still not used to it.
