9 The War Goddess (1/2)

”You'll fight The War Goddess!?, are you insane?,” Grid said

”I just wanna try”, Zeek said.

”Endless, The War Goddess is on a different level from us, the experience will be your greatest enemy, she already fought unimaginable wars and you. . . you are insane! this is the first game that you played!.”, Grid said.

”I don't care,” Zeek jokingly said.

Peppermint then approached Zeek quietly and gave him information about the room that Rose created.

”What? no insulting remarks?” Zeek said.

”Better be prepared to lose, you'll know the difference between a nobody like you and a war goddess like Piercing Rose.”, Peppermint said

”Thanks for the support” Zeek jokingly said while his body started to teleport on the Private PVP room

After arriving in the designated room, Zeek looked around and saw Piercing Rose preparing herself.

”Let's start?,” Piercing Rose asked.

”Sure”, Zeek said.

After saying that Piercing Rose launched herself towards Zeek, Piercing rose spear is so fast that Zeek almost didn't have time to block the attack.

”That was fast, they're not kidding about your skill,” Zeek remarked.

”He blocked it!, This kid's reflexes are no joke”

”Enough with the warm-ups, let's fight for real this time”, Zeek said.

Piercing Rose the used Soul Piercing making her spear disappear and instantly appeared in front of Zeek, but because of Zeek's reflexes, he dodges it with ease. Piercing Rose then used Warriors Fury consisting of 10 combo attacks towards Zeek, Zeek was unable to block some of the attacks lowering his HP by 20%. Piercing Rose followed it up with Snake Trust turning her attack to have an unpredictable angle, this skill hit Zeek and lowered his HP with 10%. after the exchange, Zeek lost 30% of his HP.

”Let's finish this now!”, Rose said.

Piercing Rose the used her ultimate Skill, Spiral Dragon Spear, suddenly 10 after image of Spears appeared in front of Zeek and he knows that only one of them is real. Zeek was able to block the real Spear but he received damage by blocking it.

-360

Leaving his HP only 9%.

”So that's it?” Zeek said

”Do you think you have the position to hold your head high on your opponent while you only have that enough HP? Rose said.

”Let's see if you can land the finishing blow,” Zeek smilingly said.

She then launched herself again and used the same pattern of skills because of the cooldown. After executing the skill chain Piercing Rose was dumbfounded to see Zeek avoided all of the skills that she released.

”How can this be!?,” Piercing said.

”Let me enlighten you for a little, you know that as a beginner we only have a set of skill that we as a player can perform. just like that, you only have what? 3 sets of skills and like 4 passive skills.

you can only have a set of skill combinations and if I recognize every combination that you have then it's checkmate, to put it simply. . . You can't land anything to me now.” Zeek said with a grim smile.

Rose then tried to launch another attack but Zeek used Conceal Shadow and disappears.

”A thief learning concealment technique!? that's impossible! concealing techniques lowest skill book is at level 25, how can a level 20 used such skill!”

Zeek then appeared at the back of Piercing Rose.

”You're good but if assassins conceal his self he always goes for the back!”

Piercing Rose tried to counter while Zeek launched his self to him, but for a split second Zeek cast Shadow Manipulation and launched the shadow at Piercing Rose back. as soon as Piercing Rose seen the attempt she already deduct that the copy will only have a certain stats, she knows this well because of playing a lot of VRMMO in this time, every assassin has this certain skill to make the opponent confused, but not her, she has 100% HP but his opponent only have a sliver of life remaining, she can even fight head on if she wants. but before Piercing Rose attack lands on Zeek he vanished in a split second, Zeek used Shadow Transfer.

Zeek then used Shadow Bind and stun Piercing Rose, Zeek followed it up with 6 critical attacks including the attacks of Zeek shadow making Piercing Rose HP plummet to zero.

Piercing Rose was so shocked.

Zeek stood in front of Piercing Rose and offered her a hand, Piercing Rose stood up on her own and smiled.

”It's my lost, It will take time to gather the necessary things so if you can give me a day so that I can prepare ?, Piercing Rose said.

”Nah, I don't need it, I don't care about the gold, I just want you to compensate on my teams effort , they need it more than I do, and about the guide that you want, I will give it to you but I will sell it to the other guilds too, but yours will be different, I just need you to sign a contract that you and your team members will not tell anyone. including the elders of your guild.” Zeek said

Piercing Rose was shocked by Zeek's sudden behavior, she can't read what this guy is thinking.

”How about another round?” Zeek said.

After 10 fights the final score is 10 to 0, Zeek won all of them and Piercing Rose learned a thing or two.

”Are you a player of Dynasty Warriors?”, Piercing Rose asked.

”Nope, this is the first online game that I've played”, Zeek said.

The two of them meet their teammates near the Trial of the Forrest portal.

”So? what happened?” Grid asked.

”I lost, hahaha. . . But Piercing Rose is very generous and gave me a good deal on the trade”, Zeek said.

Peppermint then tried to insult Zeek but Piercing Rose looked at her.

”Don't do anything stupid Peppermint, This kid is not simple as you think he is, don't make an enemy out of him, as a guild leader I ordered you to speak politely if you're around him.” Piercing Rose said.

Piercing Rose then summon a digital contract and agreed on the terms Zeek sets, after that Zeek asked Piercing Rose about a certain item.

”Rose, do you have any 2nd Job Tomes available that you can sell to me?”Zeek asked.

”I have but my guild members are about to use them too, so I can't sell it to you”, Rose said.

”What about a trade?,” Zeek then showed Rose the Holy Knight 2nd Job Tome.

”Where did you get this!?”, Rose asked

”I can see that you're interested, I'm planning to trade the information of Trial of the Forrest for some 2nd Job Tome to others,”. Zeek asked

Rose then showed Zeek a 2nd Job Tome.
