Chapter 364 - First Match (2) (2/2)

It took several seconds more for the opponent to arrive at Auron's location. This small addition of time was an excellent benefit for Auron.

Previously, Auron had already stressed out because of continuous pressure from his opponent. However, these several seconds could give him a chance to breathe and calm his mind.

With a calmer mind, Auron began to look at the broader picture. Previously, he was so focused on the enemy that made him difficult to react for the next two steps forwards.

Even though the opponent took a detour, but he didn't let Auron free. He already prepared his attacks. The opponent used [Sloth] to reduce Auron's movement speed.

As Auron had higher agility attributes, his movement speed and attack speed was faster than his opponent. However, the opponent had already investigated Auron. So, he knew that they would fight in a close combat fight. Because of that, the opponent bought some equipment that would increase his speed.

Because of the equipment, Auron's speed advantages were reduced. Right now, he was only slightly faster than his opponent.

”Money really can make someone stronger,” This sentence flashed in Auron's mind.

Auron had underestimated the deep pocket of a corporal. Moreover, this opponent of his already in the corporal rank for more than 2 years. It means he already acc.u.mulated more wealth than he had thought.

The seemingly weak opponent that Auron had seen became stronger because of the equipment. This was another mistake from Auron. He didn't think about the financial condition from his opponent when he was selecting his opponent.

In return of the opponent's [Sloth], Auron also used his [Sloth] spell. Both of the people in the arena got affected by each other's [Sloth].

However, Auron was frowning. The opponent's [Sloth] was one level stronger than him. So, his speed decrease more than his opponent. It also lasted longer than his [Sloth].

After using [Sloth], the opponent charged towards Auron. He stabbed Auron's chest. Meanwhile, Auron was already ready. He prepared his dagger to block the attack.

However, Auron didn't think that the difference of the speed would be different because of that one level difference in the [Sloth] spell. Fortunately, Auron could block the attack this time.

The follow-up attack from the opponent also launched. He used [Frost Bite] to try to stop Auron's from moving.

Auron used his maximum effort to dodge this [Frost Bite]. Seeing Auron's speed had reduced a lot, the opponent became more aggressive in his attacks.

Several attacks from the combination of his dagger and spells were thrown at Auron. Unfortunately, Auron could not block every attack. However, he tried to keep the damage to the minimum.

At the last moment, Auron used [Earth Wall] to delay the opponent's continuous attack. And, it worked. The sudden [Earth Wall] made the opponent had to walk around it. However, to the opponent's surprise, Auron showed up from behind the [Earth Wall] and suddenly got a boost in his speed.
