Chapter 302: Final preparations (1/2)
Rudra got back to the players lounge , where he was practically alone at this point , and started focussing on the match between nightmare and Khabib , the commentary was on in the background.
Derek Ray : It's a fight between two fellow dark faction players , Khabib the dark barbarian taking on nightmare the blood warlock , it's a interesting matchup .
Lee Dixon : Well , will this match be more evenly matched than the last one? Last one was a slaughter staged by Shakuni. What are your thoughts on this one Derek
Derek Ray : I think Khabib should have the advantage at close range Lee , and nightmare should have an advantage from the distance. The fight will come down to how one strategizes and plays to their strengths.
Lee Dixon : Well , of all the matches I have seen soo far , it's not a far cry to say that the most bizzare matches are the ones nightmare takes part in. His matchups never go past 3 minute mark , with first six matches ending under 1 minute. He has the fastest record coming up the rounds.
Derek Ray : Yes , his longest time of three minutes was in the group stage finals against the tank , ' burned accord ' , well it was just basically him defending all the time against the attacks of his opponent.
Lee Dixon : Well , the rules of the competition are clear , apart from the already equipped equipment on a player , a player may bring four vials of potions and three additional pieces of equipment in one's inventory.
Derek Ray : Well the choice of vials that nightmare carries is always clear , four vials of blood , which he bursts the first thing upon entering the arena. The blood then floating around him like water floats , which he manipulates with utmost precision , making sharp swords to attack , or flat shields to defend then. The penetration power , and defense are top notch. He is like a character straight out of a marvel film.
Lee Dixon : there are other blood warlocks out there , but noone can control even one pint of blood properly , unlike nightmare who can control rivers. It's just unreasonable his strength , some assume he recieved a legendary skill of blood manipulation , however all such things are just speculation , the real reason behind his strength remains unknown.
Derek Ray : Well , noone can underestimate the dark barbarian brawler Khabib either , his ruthless strength and excellent control skills , along with his semi legendary Axe makes him a extreme threat .
Lee Dixon : Well the opponents are just coldly staring at each other , unperturbed with each other's strengths , just staring down each other. No words exchanged unlike the previous match , where contestants riled each other up.
Derek Ray : The countdown starts ... Get ready ladies and gentlemen , if you blink , you will miss a critical move!
------
Rudra was intently watching the match , Khabib was a player whose playstyle was much like Rudra , a dual axe wielder with high strength and close range attacks , he would learn a lot from this battle , regardless of who wins.
When the timer hit 0 , Khabib charged at Nightmare , who stood calmly , not moving a muscle. Four blood drops turned into four blood javelins , that went at blinding speed towards the charging attacker.
Khabibs eyes widened , he was forced to stop his charge , forced to defend against the attack. When the first javelin hit his axe , it was rock solid , however when the second javellin hit his axe , it splashed into blood , splattering all over Khabib , hardening instantly , and stinging him like pins.
