Chapter 25: Showtime

[You have signed the Rey Flames Lin’s Battle Contract.]

[From now on, you have the whole day to kill Rey Flames Lin to become the winner.]

[11:59:57]

“This is a slave contract, but you will be the one to become the slave!” Rhett clenched his teeth, and he immediately boosted his strength through his activation skills. Red veins popped on his arms, and he held the ax with one hand!

“KILLING HOUR! KILLING RUSH!” He shouted like a beast and charged forward like the bull taunted by the red flag.

“Fireball,” Reylin’s voice rang from the other side.

Rhett’s eyes narrowed before the fireball barreling toward him. He raised his ax and drew the red line with it, cutting through the fireball.

However, his heart trembled as the fireball didn’t give in!

Those flames seemed challenging and impossible to cut through, leaving Rhett nervous.

Just one skill was enough to pin him down, and he bravely fought against the howling flames.

At that time, Reylin strutted to the side, his voice slapping Rhett’s cheek, “There’s a difference between us.”

He clenched his left hand tightly, then threw his right-hand fist covered with the flames! That punch sunk deeply into Rhett’s face, and the fire scorched his whole face! A few hairs already burned, and the man dropped onto the ground first!

“You have been killing and killing monsters,” Reylin chuckled, “Whatever you have received from those can not compare to my items.”

On Reylin’s hand, he wore three rings. In total, he wore six rings with attributes such as strength, agility, and intelligence. He also had raised stamina from the necklace and earrings, his stats just too abundant, and no player could face him!

“This game is more enjoyable if you take it as a second life. That’s the proper way, and now I shall use you like the training bag… and the statement.”

“I am not done yet!” Rhett shouted, but Reylin stepped on his face.

“You are,” He declared and kicked him away!

After rolling on the ground, Rhett stood up and shouted, “And what have you achieved in your life to act so haughtily?! If I say I am not done, then I am not! I will fight! Until the very end! I will never give up!”

On his second day, Rhett received the unique skill [Blood Lust] from the martial teacher. That skill turned him into a monster, and it made his laughter his weapon.

The monsters became wary of him, and once their HP fell to 50%, their instincts alerted them. At their lowest, the monsters were scared of Rhett. That also applied to players, and they would receive the debuff called ‘Fear’.

However, Reylin stood amused, his lips curled into a faint smile, “I made you my slave… That’s a sufficient achievement when it comes to dealing with you… Anyway… You are such a good training bag. Come… Karaoke, was it? Let me sing for you!”

“AHHHH!” Rhett roared, slowly losing himself in the Blood Lust.

And as the two became closer, neither gave up, and they didn’t let anyone come closer!

With his one-handed battle ax style, Rhett threw and spun around, then at one point, he just grasped the weapon with both of his hands and did a few of his strongest and broadest swings!

At this point, everyone knew that this man had given up on winning this battle.

All Rhett wanted was to wound Reylin, preferably his face! A plethora of red lines hacked at Reylin, to no avail.

The pyromaniac avoided all those blows with his higher agility, and his fire punches hurt as well! Had Reylin not been holding back, Rhett would have been thrown away a few times already!

“Hahahaha!” His signature laugh spread across the crowd.

Reylin avoided all Rhett’s attempts to wound him, but he also attacked back a few times, chunking down his enemy’s HP! Those attacks were carefully made after he dodged those crazy ax swings!

Inwardly, Reylin was overjoyed.

The usual routine every mage took was the main backline damage. They would stay back and use their great spells from a safe distance.

Was that the path Reylin wanted?

Of course not.

He would never say no to the fireball, but just throwing the flames from the back would go against his goal! He wanted to be the flames, and becoming the fireball going at the enemies was one of his ambitions!

Thus, that battle was an important one and more valuable than anyone had imagined!

Reylin had to learn the close combat battle, absorb all experience, and know all the moves!

“You have fulfilled your job as the training bag!” Reylin shouted, his hands clenching! Flames burst out from these, and though those were from the fire release, the flames howled on their own.

He let out two punches that connected without the ax wounding him.

Once Rhett lost his balance, Reylin’s laughter bloomed, and he punched his enemy a thousand times. Each punch drew the flame line, and before that line disappeared, a few more followed as Reylin’s speed and accuracy rose with each second!

“Hahahaha! Hahahaha!” His laughter billowed, eating up the crowd’s silence.

A few loud gulps and groans rang out from all sides, but who would care?

But at that time, Rhett’s Blood Lust evolved!

[Your Blood Lust has become Undead Blood Lust.]

[Your race has changed.]

[Half-Undead.]

[Undead Blood Lust has been activated.]

After Rhett’s HP fell to zero, his new passive skill activated, and he rose from the ground! The shock from his death lingered on his mind, but the will to wound Reylin drove Rhett forward, and he hacked at Reylin!

However, Reylin smiled, “You won’t let me look at my masterpiece?” He didn’t plan to take his eyes from Rhett or make any grand speech!

Reylin wanted to take a good look at the falling enemy. Still, that man stood up randomly with zero HP, which was quite shocking but not enough to make Reylin’s heart tremble.

[You have used The Fire Release.]

The Fire Release gathered on Reylin’s right hand!

He spread his fingers, and summoned the fireball, then clenched it tightly!

That was one deadly combination that directly punched at the incoming ax!

BOOM!

“It’s my win! Hahaha!” Reylin triumphed!

His punch kicked away the ax and disconnected Rhett’s hand off his body! These two weapons fell away, and Rhett finally could take some rest!

[You have killed Tehr Lv. 23]

His body dropped, and his eyes slowly closed, but the sudden voice rang out in his mind!

“You still can move, can’t you? Move your head to the side and eat the dark matter. Join me and become my first undead! Hehehehe!”
