Chapter 119 - Albion's Annoying Talent
"Y-Y-You! Do you have no honor?! H-How can you target a man's weakness?!" IronFistVillain criticized Albion after struggling to stand, hands clutching his groins, knees linked together, and body trembling with unstable balance.
"A newbie hunter wants to preach to me about honor? How peculiar..." Albion muttered before nonchalantly asking with a disinterested shrug, "I don't think there was a rule stating I cannot kick a man's balls now, was there?"
"Well... no. But—!"
"Then all is fair in war, no? If you want, you can also kick me in the balls," Albion stated calmly.
The spectators immediately gasped with surprises, wondering whether this wizard had secretly trained some iron balls technique to dare make such a statement.
At the same time, IronFistVillain doubted his ears before seeking confirmation with a dubious look, "Wait, seriously?"
"Un. Seriously." Albion nodded with a solemn look.
Shortly after, IronFistVillain recovered before snorting, "Hmph! Then have a taste of my own nut-cracking kick—!"
Ka-cha!
The sound of an egg cracking rang out in the minds of every male spectator as they instinctively tensed their lower body.
"Ahhhh—!"
IronFistVillain dropped to the ground, rolling in pain once more after getting kicked by Albion again.
"Strange. I must have missed one of the nuts with the first kick. Oh well. At least it should be even now..." Albion muttered with a pondering expression, wondering whether his aim was off due to the handicap imposed upon him.
Meanwhile, IronFistVillain squirmed and shriveled on the cold ground for some time before recovering enough to shoot Albion another venomous glare, filled with billowing animosity and menacing aura.
"Why did you kick me again?!"
"Why not?" Albion responded with a dumb look before adding, "Am I not supposed to?"
"You said I can kick you in the balls!" IronFistVillain roared furiously while breaking cold sweats and hyperventilating to cope with the pain.
"Yeah, if you want. Not if you can, genius. That would depend on your capability. What kind of man would let another man kick his balls without resisting? Seriously, there's something wrong with your head for thinking that is even possible."
After listening to Albion's words and getting looked at like he was an idiot, IronFistVillain was so furious he wanted to cough up blood on the spot.
"You should have made it clear and said that I can try!"
"Trying would imply that I am confident in you failing. That's too arrogant. How would I know if you would actually succeed or not? Maybe you will succeed next time if you try a little harder? Who knows?" Albion responded with an astonished yet encouraging look.
"Y-You—!"
IronFistVillain glared at Albion with an intense murderous gaze that threatened to shoot lasers from his eyes as his body shook from excessive again.
Suddenly, IronFistVillain's body dispersed into light particles before disappearing from the arena.
Ding!
<IronFistVillain has abandoned the match>
<TheStrongestWizard has won by default>
<Your victory has been recorded>
<5 EXP has been credited to your account>
...
Pfft!
"Strongest Wizard actually made IronFistVillain forfeit the match by default! That's too funny! Hahaha!" A female Hunter burst into laughter in the spectating area.
"This is what you call rage-quitting—not that I don't understand how IronFistVillain feels. This person has a serious talent for annoying others to death!" Another Hunter spoke while shaking his head helplessly.
"Still, he is quite an interesting guy—and he is quite handsome to boot," the female Hunter spoke with interest while watching Albion fiddling with some new system interface on the arena like he just found a new toy.
"No matter how handsome he is, he is still a virtual avatar. You don't know how much of his appearance has been altered, or if he is even a he! He could be catfishing."
"That's true, but the appearance change is a one-time thing. Many Hunters have regretted their gender changing. There's a chance that is what he really looks like..." the female Hunter wore a hopeful expression.
...
Meanwhile, Albion listened to the string notification and interfaces popping up after IronFistHunter left.
Ding!
<The host has abandoned the battle lobby>
<You have been assigned as the new room master>
<You have been authorized to alter map settings>
<You have been authorized to alter battle settings>
"Interesting. Since I am here, I might as well play around for a bit longer." Albion mumbled while taking a glance at the spectators that continued to grow in numbers.
...
On the Hunter World's forums, news of a newbie upgrading straight level 5 account began making headlines, and the netizen burst into discussions.
[BushidoMaster22: A level 5 ascender, huh? I wonder which level 7 admin is backing this person...]
[FruitNinja41: Backing? Probably just another bribed transaction from another rich young master.]
[ShadowLord901: True. There's been a growing number of young masters ascending to level 5 these days.]
[DigBickHero78: No matter how many ascend to level 5, their levels will just drop if they don't have the matching ability and continue to suffer defeats in their challenges.]
[UndyingRider555: Upstairs, interesting name you got there. Ha, big d*ck.]
[StarLord82: Actually, his name says Dig Bick if you were reading carefully.]
[DigBickHero78: @UndyingRider555 Hehe, gotcha b*tch.]
[System Notification: @DigBickHero78 Your message has failed to reach the user, UndyingRider555. Either the user has left the chat or currently experiencing an unstable network.]
...
Meanwhile, inside of Albion's battle map, the spectators continued to discuss among themselves.
"I was hoping the newbie would put up an exciting fight, but damn, I did not expect him to win the fight like this..."
"Fight? No, that was a one-sided slaughter. TheStrongestWizard completely decimated IronFistVillain and his trillions of virtual children."
"Ha, that's for sure. Still, since the person left, he should have gotten his balls back at least. I can't imagine if this battle took place in reality..."
As the spectators discussed, everyone was suddenly interrupted mid-talk and alerted by the sudden strings of system notifications.
Ding!
