Chapter 423 - One on One Duel (5) (1/2)

[Wrath] was one of few spells that mage could use to buff themselves or their comrade. This skill could be categorized as an advanced spell. However, very few of mage would use this because of the repercussion after using this spell. If they could not use this spell, then they would not do so.

The duration of this skill was limited. Meanwhile, after using this spell, they would be slowed down for quite some time.

Auron had some time to buy some [Wrath]'s skill book and raised it to level 3. For a level 3 [Wrath], the spell would increase the targeted melee's damage by 3%. Meanwhile, the duration of the spell would be 30 seconds.

Unfortunately, the repercussion also increased along with the raised skill level. After the spell duration ended, the targeted user's attack speed and movement speed would be reduced by 10% for 10 seconds.

Although it would only reduce 10%, don't underestimate this 10 seconds, moreover, during an arena battle like this. This 10% could turn the direction of the fight.

30 seconds was not a short time. However, it was also not a long time. In 30 seconds, Auron had to kill his opponent, who only had 10% of his health left, or at least, he had to reduce his opponent's health to under 3%.

It was a difficult mission to achieve that. However, Auron didn't have any choice. Fortunately, he was inside his swordsman's character. As a swordsman who specialized in close combat battle, the [Wrath]'s 3% damage increase means a lot to him.

As soon as the [Wrath]'s buff took effect, Auron immediately used everything he had. He used another [Weapon's aura]. Then, he used his [Charge] skill and rushed out to his opponent.

Auron's opponent was aware of Auron's movement. Even though he was confident, the battle was in a crucial state. He would not want to make any more mistakes, so he had already monitored every Auron's movement.

When Auron had charged to him, he also copied Auron's moved. As a strength type swordsman, this type of challenged was what he was like the most. Moreover, he had already seen that Auron's strength was not as high as him.

Auron's opponent also used [Weapon's Aura] and [Charged]. Both Auron and his opponent charged at each other. Not long after, both of them met in the middle of the arena.

The clash made the audience went wilder than before. The audience knew the winner of this clash would mostly win the battle. And, most of them believed that Auron's opponent was the one that would come out as the winner.

However, to everyone's surprise, Auron didn't get blown away by the clash. Instead, Auron slightly overpowered his opponent.

Holding his ax, Auron's opponent also got surprised by this result. His opponent kept on surprising him with his sudden increased strength, which he had no idea where it had come from. However, he could not think about it right now.

Auron put more strength into his weapon and pushed his opponent's weapon more. His opponent still holding on. He knew that he could not keep on doing this. He only had 30 seconds before [Wrath]'s buff ended.

Auron's opponent kept his best and put more strength into his weapon as well. He didn't want to lose out to Auron in terms of power. However, when he put more resistance and tried to push Auron back, Auron pulled out his weapon.
