The Adventurer System

[Tunnel Drive!]

Splash!

After hearing the sharps sound, Yumiro received a direct attack from Orlan. Which inflicted him to rapidly whirling into the mid-air, and after a few seconds, he eventually fell to the ground.

"What exactly going on here?" He asked himself after he noticed his health power was reduced by 9%.

So as of now, Orlan was the one who took the lead, if we based the damage they received.

Yumiro slowly pushed himself into a stood-up position, and still oblivious with Orlan's concealed skill.

He strolled his eyes to look what was the precise location of Orlan, but Orlan's [Cloaked] skill grant him to hide his presence from Yumiro point of view.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Yumiro immediately raised his guard as Orlan kept launching a sneak all over Yumiro's body. "How I could defend this?"

The [Tunnel Drive] skill has standout with the duel, however, it still had a disadvantage. To be exact, Orlan needed to reveal his appearance before he could land any single attack.

From the audiences' point of view, they were seeing Orlan flickering in different spots when every time he wielded his whip.

"What are you doing, Kid?! Fight back!" Orlan aggressively said along with an evil laugh.

"Tch!" Yumiro just clicked his tongue since he had no clue how he could escape from this hard circumstance.

[Dash!]

He easily made 18 meters distance within his current position. He then in front of him, the white sand was clear, and the adventurers who seriously watching them.

Seemingly the main problem here wasn't now because of his lack of level of Grim Draigh. It way more this mattered in the difference of their class.

[Rogue class] is one of the best classes in the VR world. As it was the most flexible among them. While the [Brawler class] although they are proficient in close combat, still, all class could easily counter it by selecting mid-range skill.

"Tch, I didn't expect he could become invisible. But, I can't lose here." Yumiro murmured.

His face and body were had bruises coming from the whip, nevertheless, Yumiro had no idea how he should supposedly respond to this kind of attack.

'I need to concentrate, he's just around.' He uttered to his mind, but he was distracted by the other adventurers' voice.

Splash! Splash!

Yumiro bent his body forwardly, as Orlan's attack his back a couple of times."Damn it!" He knew he could not blame his opponent as Orlan doing wasn't against the rules it was called "Strategy". 

"I should end this!"

To the left side, Yumiro heard a gruff voice. Even though it wasn't too loud, but he could tell where it was come from.

[Celestial whip!]

Orlan gathered a huge amount of mana in his weapons, to settle this fight in an instant. Then, he strongly swung it into Grim's location.

Swoosh!

The high pitches sound was good enough to warn him, so he swiftly shifted his current position.

Boom!

White sand elevating through the mid-air, while behind it, the man's face appeared, and gritted his teeth.

"Why he could dodge my attack?" Orlan asked with a shock.

[Tunnel Dri...]

[Dash!]

In 15 meters distance of Yumiro within Orlan was easily turned into zero. As Yumiro reached in just the blink of an eye that even Orlan's mouth could not catch up.

[Physical transmission!]

A red gleaming light was gathering in his left hand while dashing through his opponent. He had a cold face as this was his face once he wasn't holding back.

Boom!

Yumiro rusty gauntlet directly smashed Orlan's face, and his body bent then forcefully whacked to the ground.

The sands splashing all over his body, and because of Grim attack, his breathing suddenly stopped.

So Yumiro raised his right foot the same level as his head with a stolid expression on his face.

[X kick!]

He swayed his foot like an X, and there was a blade immediately hit on Orlan's abdomen.

"W-Wait..." Orlan said with a weak tone. Since his head and back bounced to the surface.

Seeing Grim Draigh like this, it seems he wasn't giving any kind of sympathy to his opponent.

[Trap activated!]

Under the sand, there was a magic circle occurred around them. As Orlan casting a skill that was new in Yumiro's eyes.

Boom!

Another tremendous explosion transpired, then Yumiro was sent to the mid-air because the force pushed him. Enough reason to enlarge the distance between them.

[Rogue class] is also specialized for making any traps and sneaks attack that no one would notice or think that there's a trap in a specific place.

However, Asarki and high-level adventurers could see it as they could sense a magical power around them. But, Asarki was special since her zexel was like a scanner that easily determines it.

'I should say it to him, b-but he might be disqualified in this duel.'

Everyone could watch the duel of those adventurers, moreover, they would never give any piece of information during the match.

"Phew! It's hard to set up those traps because I plan to use them when you already passed out. So your flesh and blood would scatter all over the place " Orlan said with a confident smile on his face.

In his mind, no one could survive in that kind of explosion since his traps hit directly on his opponent.

In front of him, was the young man who has laid on the ground and not moving. While the sand covering Yumiro HP green bar. So Orlan promptly sauntered closer to him to see how many HP left to him.

Orlan was petrified in the place where he stood up, after seeing Grim Draigh health power was still over 75%. To be exact, the strongest skill could make by Orlan didn't affect him.

"W-Why? Supposedly his HP should be down to 5%." Orlan stuttered and suddenly he felt his feet become frozen.

Too many questions popped inside his mind. 'Grim Draigh focused all his free attributes in his Vit stat? No, it's not possible he had so much speed. Or did I miss it?' Orlan was literally confused.

...

After a few seconds, Yumiro stood up, then slowly patted the sand that plastered on his body.

His aura was different from earlier, so Orlan stepped back while his eyelids were widened.

"What's going on here?" He looked around to find a good place to position. However, the audience enclosed some of their fighting ground.

"Alison, did you know what is exactly happened to that Orlan? He already had the advantage, so why he does not continue to attack?" Nerfin asked with a weak tone.

"I didn't know, Nerfin. But one thing I'm assured, Orlan is scared by something." Alison replied with a weak tone.

"What the heck? Afraid for what? He's on a lead if we based the damage he landed and the fighting style he has." Nerfin wondered.

"I don't know the reason, it seemed Orlan see that our eyes couldn't see." Alison said with a honeyed tone.

...

"Grim, you can do it! Please win for us!" Yuki yelled even though the adventurers around them looking at her lowly creature.

"Yeah! Grim, you must win with that! You better than this, so what is the reason why you holding back your strength." Asarki motivated him. 

But the memorable words that pierced his mind, when Chirla crying and speak to him with a willingness.

"Adventurer Grim, I know I didn't do a lot of things for you to help me like this. B-But, please win, I want to get back into my cruel life! I want to serve you in my entire life, so please save me!" Chirla cried as she begged for her freedom.

Her voice echoed inside Yumiro's head, it was looked like someone pinched his heart. Tears formed in the corner of his eyes, yet, he didn't let someone notice it.

He won't look back at them, just raised his hand. Signs no matter what happened here, he possibly wins this fight.

"You need to pay me, in what you've done to Chirla and Yuki."

"W-What..." Orlan didn't hear his words, but his body was already trembling.

"This for them, so if I were you get ready. I'll show you the thing that you never see inside the VR world." Yumiro gritted his teeth. "Inventory!"

After a few seconds, he took the Grete sword one of the elementals items he had right now. Behind it, Yumiro tugged a piece of broken core.

'No one should know how this skill works.' He uttered to his mind, then secretly swallowed the red crystal.

[Core devourer skill activated!]

Then suddenly his body emitted a black aura that was new in the eyes of the audience.

"What he's doing? What is the black stuff around him?Nerfingin asked.

Alison shook her head with a shocked expression on her face. "Even me I don't know, this is the first time I could see a black aura like this." She responded with a choppy tone.

As soon as the black aura vanished, they saw a man wearing full black armor.

"Shall we end this, Orlan?"

But on the other side, Alison tugged the mask that covered her as she knew what was it.

"What the Hiller Knight doing here?!"
