Chapter 840: Core Members Tournament 16

Krona rode the waves as he came upon the stage, ever stoic and stately. Opposite him came Shani, Boyd's wife and a capable Archer of Ghanaian descent.

Shani had a slew of abilities that made her Legendary Class quite potent, but against a bloodline holder like Krona with his even more unreasonable Divine Class, she was more than aware of her odds. Still, the woman decided to fight for already stated reasons.

The battle began the moment Krona used his Endless Waves skill. Immediately, a huge tsunami formed, rushing from the edge of the horizon towards the battlefield to engulf the entire place in water.

Shani saw this and gritted her teeth. The Deadhot fired a Charged Shot from her bow at Krona, but the fellow simply manifested a shield made of high pressure water that whittled down the explosive power of the shot before grinding the bolt into dust.

Seeing that the tsunami was getting closer, Shani revealed a ferocious expression and shot the arena with her Overlord Shot skill. This caused a small scale explosion that shattered the arena floor slightly, leaving huge tiles on the floor.

She rushed forward and kicked out a pretty large tile that could support up to five people with ease, then used her Control at Tier 3 to increase her strength. The archer threw it upward as high as she could, then fired another Charged Shot at its base once the 7-second cooldown elapsed.

From there, she squatted and charged power into her feet with the Body of Godliness before blasting upward, surpassing the tile and easily landing upon it. The next second, the tile accelerated upward even further when the Charged Shot released it payload, enough to give a boost without shattering the tile or weakening it too much.

Thanks to her timing, Shani just beat the top of the tsunami before it landed and fell down along with it like a surf boarder riding the waves, only that she was on a large tile she could hardly control.

Luckily, the tile managed to remain intact when the tsunami crashed down and spread out into a miniature sea, covering the entire place. The other spectating core members had used their various means to avoid getting drowned to death, and were looking on with grim expressions.

Looking left and right, Shani could no longer tell where Krona was, which made her feel alarmed. However, she could only smile bitterly when she noticed him rise from beneath the depths with his hands folded behind his back, looking like some deity of the underwater coming onto land.

That alone wouldn't be much, but beneath him, acting as a veritable mount, was a giant snake like monster with the face of a fish and the wings of a bird. It was ugly and terrifying, and it radiated a might that all those with Control could sense through their VoP.

The Primordial Kun Peng!

?Name: Primordial Kun Peng (Kronalord) – Colonel Rank monster

Level: 150

HP: 274,120,000/274,120,000?

To be honest, from the POV of the spectators, the scene had suddenly turned into an epic boss fight. Shani, trapped on her lone tile with some others scattered around like mini islands that had risen when the tsunami crashed, and the giant behemoth enemy opposite her.

Unfortunately, unlike those ancient single player adventure games that ran on engines where the boss had set patterns and could be beaten with time, this 'boss' was being controlled by a fully sentient human being.

There was no chance for a mistake.

Shani still fought, firing arrows, activating her camouflage and leaping between the various tiles on the water to find purchase. Her arrows often struck, given that the enemy was so huge, but the damage was minimal.

What made things worse was that Krona only gave her a little while to fight freely before interfering himself, spawning water barriers where her arrows would strike and making the Kun Peng use its titanic skills where she was headed or around her.

It was a battle that could keep one at the edge of their seats until its conclusion, and that is exactly what happened to the core members.

Eventually, Krona fired a beams of high pressure water that pierced through Shani's brows and sent her into respawn, bringing the fight to an end.

15th Battle: Kronalord wins!

16th Battle: Kiran vs Slim Fatty, begin!

The final battle of the first round was between the Alabama Brat/Protagonist Haircut Kiran and the Violent Beauty Slim Fatty, who looked, dressed, spoke and acted like a modern Joan of Arc. Since both had Legendary Classes still, many speculated that this battle would be protected.

While Kiran could have classed up to Divine, he had spent too much time training with his Uncle and fixing his mistakes from the First Inter-Player International Competition to have time to do so.

However, it did not matter to Kiran, for his power had reached heights that even he could not fathom.

(Editor's Note; With this we have all the class skills and my project is nearing completing, so that in the future we can do it another way.)

Both sides stared at each other calmly, ready to fight to the very end.

Slim Fatty manifested her Legendary Swords, Swordblade, Forte, Seeker and Wilde. As usual, Switchblade was held in hand while the other three floated around her, acting semi-autonomously based on their enchantments.

Despite the pressure of facing down against such a power, Kiran was stoic as he entered a martial stance, specifically the taichi pose. Green energy wafted from his body and coated his form, his Internal Force coming to bear in its full glory at Rank 4.

He did not mix in the Noble Energy from his Buddha Lineage, nor did he add the Knight Energy from his Merlin Lineage. Just like those who came before, Kiran intended to fight this battle by self-restricting himself to his class skills, leaving his bloodline to use against other bloodline users.

Kiran struck first by rushing forward with unparalleled speed, coating his fist in Internal Force as he struck at Slim Fatty's midriff.

Immediately, her defensive sword, Forte, came in the way to tank the attack. The Legendary blade received the blow infused with Internal Force and shook greatly, but still defended its master.

Slim Fatty used this chance to roar and slash at Kiran, but the Martial Artist simply dodged the slash and struck forward again. Forte moved automatically to block the blow, and Slim Fatty counter-attacked once more.

Instantly, the duo became a blur of greenish energy and graying white energy as Slim Fatty began imbuing her sword slash with sword aura, creating waves of sword lights that tried to cut Kiran in half.

Kiran simply used his mastery over Internal Force to form a barrier around himself as he continued to battle her casually.

Eventually, both sides separated and gauged each other. It was clear that the probing was over and it was time to enter the next level of the battle.

As such, Kiran opened the first two Inner Gates of the body, Opening and Healing. The first gave him 100% more strength and the second gave him 10% on top of that, as well as technically infinite mana and stamina, but swallowed 20% of his total HP bar.

Slim Fatty only held Swordblade still, but her two other swords, Seeker and Wilde, positioned themselves around her and began to glow with sword lights. It was clear that the moment they erupted, they would turn into the deadliest weapons in the area, aiming for Kiran's vital points.

Kiran did not enter his Super Warrior form since he did not draw out the Gate Force or add his Noble Energy, rather using the skill traditionally and as it should have been. So he still only had Internal Force as his source of energy.

After releasing the next stage of their power, both sides clashed once more, this time the shockwaves from their battle caused the arena to buckle and break from the sheer pressure.
