Chapter 108: [Bonus Chapter] Chapter 107: Egoistic Meets Egotistic

Zach raised his brows at Aurora and asked, “So, do you want to go?”

Aurora shook her head and sat back in her seat.

Zach then glanced at Aria and said, “What about you?”

“I don’t really care about all this.” Aria shrugged her shoulders and said, “but if you want me to fight, then I will do it.”

‘As much as I want to see Aria in action, I can’t let her fight in my stead. Besides…’ Zach looked at his gloves and muttered, “I want to try something.”

Sure, Aria had fought alongside Zach and Aurora in the dungeon, but Aria was a ranger, and she always performed the ranged attacks. Zach wanted to see Aria fight like she didn’t in her domain. However, it was impossible.

Aria was currently in the game as a player, and she had to follow the player rules to play the game. She couldn’t even change her form, unlike she did when Zach had stabbed her to reveal her true identity.

That time, it was Aria’s first time changing form in the game, and after that, she was unable to do it.

Currently, Aria’s powers were limited to her stats. Just like how Zach’s true power was locked behind his stats.

Not only that, unlike Zach, Aria was an elite goddess. When she was in heaven, she could make anything happen by simply wishing for it. She had no need to fight anyone or even bother moving her body.

When she fought Zach in her domain, that was Aria’s first time fighting someone in her life. That was one of the reasons why Zach was able to be on par with her regarding her not using her full power.

Zach was trained to fight and be a warrior, but Aria wasn’t. She had no prior fighting experience, only the knowledge that she wisely used to surpass both Zach and Aurora in level-ups.

Zach eagerly waited for the match to end so he could finally have a chance to fight with Starlord and see if he was truly a strong champion or if other players were simply weak.

His gloves’ special ability had three empty slots, out of which he used one to summon a magic weapon in his right hand. And he also used the second slot for the weapon.

Sure, he could use magic weapons with both hands before, but he couldn’t summon two weapons at once.

The third spot was empty, but not anymore.

Zach used the third spot and created an ability that allowed him to absorb the opponent’s magic attack and fire them back in the same state. And it was possible because of his class awakening, where he acquired the alchemist class.

However, there was a limit to how many attacks he could absorb. And once the gloves turned purple, he must unleash all the absorbed magic within five minutes.

His gloves were originally black colored, and they would turn purple when enough magic attacks were stored.

Of course, everything was still theoretical as Zach had yet to use the gloves’ third and last ability in the battle. 

Once the battle ended, Zach jumped into the arena and stood in the middle. He looked at Starlord and said, “I might not be noble, but if you want to take a short break, I will allow it.”

“Are you insulting me?” Starlord frowned and swung his double-ended spear with his fingers.

‘Oh… so he has a high ego. Well, it’s none of my business. But time to play a little…’ 

Zach sighed and said, “I want our battle to be perfectly equal because if I win, I don’t want people to say ‘he won because his opponent was exhausted.’.”

Now, Zach was teasing him.

Starlord broke the spear in half and wielded it in both hands. He pointed one spear at Zach and said, “So you are the last one.”

“And the first one to defeat you,” Zach added with an arrogant smirk on his face.

Whenever two egoistic people meet, it never ends well.

Starlord charged the spear with sea magic as the gems on the blades glowed.

“I am going to defeat you and marry princess Aquarius!” he shouted.

‘Oh… so that’s why he is acting so…’

“Yeah! Get him! Win for me!” Aquarius cheered for Starlord.

SIGH!

‘You shouldn’t have done that, princess,’ Zach sighed. ‘Now you have fueled his ego.’

“You can do it!” After Aquarius cheered for Starlord, Aurora started to cheer for Zach.

“You can win!” she cheered.

‘Well… my ego is also fully charged,’ Zach scoffed.

Zach beckoned Starlord and said, “Come.”

Starlord launched himself at Zach at full speed and swung his spears back and forth. 

Zach, however, blocked Starord’s attacks with his hands.

‘He is indeed fast, but not as fast as I thought.’ When Zach was watching the battles from above, Starlord seemed fast to Zach. However, now that Zach was in the arena and fighting against him, Starlord seemed slow.

Starlord kept attacking Zach in a melee style for the next 5 minutes. 

Zach hadn’t even used his weapon yet, and Starlord grew impatient because he couldn’t land a single hit on Zach.

‘Now, he will switch to magic attacks.’ Zach prepared himself for the magic attacks. But instead of dodging or blocking them, he was going to absorb them.

Starlord fired water and ice magic at Zach, and at the same time, he dashed at him to attack him.

‘Even if he blocks or dodges my magic attacks, he won’t be able to stop my physical attack!” Starlord thought. ‘Hehe. Princess is mine!’

However, he was left speechless when he saw his magic attacks suddenly disappearing right before his eyes. But he didn’t stop and still approached Zach to attack him, only to receive a punch in the face.

Starlord was sent flying to the other side of the arena. He bounced on the ground a couple of times before hitting the arena wall that cracked on impact.

The entire arena that was cheering for Starlord suddenly turned quiet. But Zach could hear one voice.

“Whoo!” It was Aurora.

‘I… don’t think I hit him that hard…’

Author’s Note- This chapter is for hitting 300 golden tickets. I know, we haven’t hit it yet, but I will be busy starting next month because of a relative’s wedding, and I will have to travel (200+ 200 miles) to attend it.
