~~~(POV: Marcus Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:40 PM)~~~

The match before mine ends, and I make my way out into the Arena. I look around the crowd watching, and there are similar reactions compared to earlier. People are cheering for me and against me. My eyes drift toward the booth where Cera and Sally are.

Hailey is in the area where Players prepare before coming out into the Arena. The person I'm facing isn't a magic user. He goes by Bluestone, and he's the Vice-Guild Leader of Flaming Skull.

I can hear and see his guildmates cheering him on in the seats. Some are even so rabid, they're cursing me out. They know they have no chance of getting me to join, so they're taking this chance to try to get in my head.

"LITTLE SHIT DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE!!!"

"THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL SOMEONE LIKE YOU IS REACHING THE FINALS!!"

"LET'S GO, BLUESTONE!!!"

There is a slight look of embarrassment at his guildmate's antics present on Bluestone's face. He's probably around 19, but I can't be sure. He's the holder of an Epic Grade Class called White Frost Carrier. I don't know much about it, but it sounds interesting.

The timer for the match slowly starts to descend from 10, and he gets in a position ready for a fight. Taking out his sword and having a moment to take a deep breath.

I stand the way I've been standing. I far outclass him in power. I'm also a Tier higher than he is, and I'm a higher level. Statistically speaking, there is no reason for me to lose this match. But despite only having an Epic Grade Class, he's managed to become Vice-Guild Leader.

Risen to the position of power on his own and through hard work. It's likely he's a very talented fighter and one that doesn't mistake others and their capabilities. That's a fault I have.

"My bad habit of underestimating won't be happening this match, Bluestone. Let this be a fight where the truly better Player comes out on top."

As I speak, the timer hits zero, and the match starts. A subtle smile creeps on the man's face, and he launches in my direction. I immediately put up a wall of fire. That causes him to change direction, and try to flank me from the left.

I propel myself into the sky with fire, and I decide to use one of my stronger Skills to try and end this match fast since I've got this advantage.

"Blighting Fire!"

Large and wide wings of fire sprout from my back, and they turn dark. Everyone in the Arena is silent and watching. The entire area begins to heat up, and some people outside the protective barrier around the Arena start to sweat.

Black jets of fire burst forth from my wings of black fire, and they have a direct hit on the area where Bluestone was standing. His health lowers a bit, but he was able to escape most of the damage.

Still, I was able to take about 15 percent of his health. That's a start, but he'll be ready for more attacks like that. My fire wings disappear, and I land on the ground softly. I look across the Arena and see a heavy-breathing Bluestone.



"That was probably the most dangerous attack I've ever had sent against me, kid... The power of a Legendary Class is really no joke. But don't count me out yet. I haven't risen to the point I'm at now for no reason at all."

This time, he's the one using a skill. Suddenly, the entire Arena starts to drop in temperature, and his blade is covered in Ice.

Before I know it, I'm barely dodging a spike of Ice coming from below me. The ground is slowly turning into an Icy field, and I'll be at a disadvantage soon. Before I can use a Skill to stop this change. He's already a few feet away from me, coming down with a slashing attack.

In a desperate attempt to avoid as much damage as possible, I clap my hands together and use another Skill.

"Combustion Blast!"

He's sent the other direction, taking about 8 percent of his health with him. But I didn't come out unscathed from his attack. I've had 19 percent of my health taken from me. That was an incredible about of damage he dealt considering the difference between our Tiers and Levels.

It's becoming very clear that he's risen to his spot of power in Flaming Skull from his technical talent.

"Congrats on being the first Player in this event to actually hurt me. But, I think it's time I start taking this seriously."

He raises an eyebrow at the prospect that I haven't been trying. In truth, I haven't been using my strongest Skill. The ones that will end this fight without any issues.

I spread out my arms, and two compressed balls of fire and plasma start forming in my hands, and I slowly bring them together. As I'm about to say the name of my Skill for dramatic effect, a system notification is sent to everyone.

[WARNING: The Barrier around the Arena will not contain the attack and damage! Anyone in direct line of the spell will perish!]

The eyes of my opponent slowly widen.





"Desolation Of Materiality!"

The Spells power is unleashed, and it's as the system said.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:44 PM)~~~

A large beam of white-hot energy destroys Bluestone and blasts through the protective barrier. Sally and I aren't in a direct line, but we watch it cut a path through the Arena seat and out into the city. Players have definitely died from that.

The system is notifying everyone of what's happened in terms of casualties, and a good number of people couldn't get out of the way.

"Wow... Marcus is the strongest Player I've met besides you. I'm confident in saying Hailey can't compete with that."

My brother has taken to using The Phoenix Fire Mage Class very well. I knew a creative mind like he would have a wonderful time with such a Class.

[Delay In Progress: Due to damage dealt to the Arena, there will be a 10-minute delay while the system repairs the damages.]

A new system notification appears, and I can't help smiling a little. Marcus has bought Hailey an extra 10 minutes to prepare for her fight. She's going against Zaraverd. The Guild Leader of Flaming Skull and a Legacy Class Holder.

Zaraverd is a powerful woman and a role model to many. Just as Hailey is. I heard she's packing a serious punch in terms of offensive power. Marcus makes his way out of the Arena, and Players are celebrating and cursing at him.

He's done more than cause a lot of Players to lose money.

"Marcus is the strongest Fire Mage walking around Gaia. As he gets older, he'll only get stronger and more popular. I hope he's ready for that."

Cause what happened here today will only spread like wildfire.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:45 PM)~~~

Marcus makes his way to me and has a smug smile on his face. I can't help rolling my eyes but smiling a little too.

"Good luck with Zaraverd. If Bluestone was that good, I can't imagine how good the Guild Leader is."

Many would say that Bluestone didn't do that good against Marcus. But that's unfair to say. Doing the amount of damage he did, considering the power gap. Flaming Skull should be proud of what's happened today.

I know I'd be proud.
