Chapter 372 Kaizen Versus Kevneth
The Guan Yu class player known as Kevneth looked up at the snow-capped mountains and marveled at the mystery player’s archery. He was used to being one of the most powerful players with his spear, even at a distance, but those precise, sequential arrows flying over his head were impressive. Apparently, Kevneth realized that he was not their target.
Wasting no time, Kevneth began climbing the mountain toward the glint he had seen, determined to challenge the archer and test his own skills against the legendary archer.
Meanwhile, Kaizen continued to fire his arrows with deadly accuracy. He was at the peak of his concentration, drawing on his recent experience as an archer in the real world to fully master this skill in Rise Online.
Every arrow he fired hit its target perfectly, and his kills continued to rise rapidly. In a few minutes, he reached 25 kills, and as many of the top-ranked players were defeated in the second hour of the tournament, his name appeared in the top 20 players, attracting the attention of all the top players in the three groups who didn’t even know Kaizen was participating.
Among these players were some of his acquaintances, such as Bloody Lily, Taznaar, Gear, Dathan, and even Evan, a former Myth2 teammate. There were also players that Kaizen had never met in his life, but who recognized his name, including Ryeis and Teshi, two players who had already surpassed the 100 kill mark and were considered great prodigies and candidates to move up to the pro ranks.
Online viewers were thrilled by Kaizen’s display of skill, and comments flooded the live streaming channels, with some suggesting that he was using some kind of hack to be so accurate, and others saying that he was already a legend. However, the vast majority, including the media, were simply impressed by his talent and focus.
Even in the halls of large guilds with evolved players, where a few pros were watching the Midgard tournament, there was a buzz of excitement because few nonevolved players could match the accuracy that Kaizen was demonstrating.
In addition to the shock of Kaizen’s near-perfect aim, there was also the shock of his reappearance. After all, it had been a long time since Kaizen had appeared in the media, so his reappearance was one of the most talked about topics in all the gaming forums on the Webnet.
As Kaizen focused on his goal of eliminating as many players as possible, Kevneth finally reached the top of the mountain. Leaning on the ground with his long steel spear, his black hair blowing in the wind and standing out against the white landscape, Kevneth saw Kaizen in action, firing his arrows from the top of the cable car station.
Kevneth approached cautiously, sinking his feet into the fluffy snow with each step, ready for a confrontation.
Kaizen, on the other hand, noticed the spearman’s presence and smiled. Finally, someone had managed to get through to him.
At the same time, Kevneth activated a special spear skill from his class and advanced toward Kaizen, deflecting the two arrows that Kaizen shot without hesitation. He now had a greenish aura around him and was surprisingly five times faster than normal.ππ±π΅xt.πΈππ
Kaizen and Kevneth were at the top of a snow-covered mountain where the temperature was low and the wind was blowing hard, making the battle even more difficult. Kaizen held his bow while Kevneth wielded his spear, but both were determined to prove their superiority.
Kaizen began firing arrows with speed and precision, taking advantage of his weapon’s range at this distance, only for Kevneth to dodge with ease as he approached the station. The Psyker knew that if he stood still, it would mean defeat, so he leapt down from the top of the cable car station and began moving nimbly and gracefully through the snow, using his agility to avoid Kevneth’s spear blows while trying to maintain a considerable distance. With fluid movements, he ducked, jumped, and dodged, always keeping a safe distance from Kevneth’s spear range and saving energy to fire whenever he could.
Kevneth, on the other hand, advanced with steady steps, using his spear to deflect arrows and retaliate with swift and powerful blows. He moved with confidence, using his advantage, strength, and experience in close combat. The snow beneath his feet compacted with each step, leaving a trail of footprints across the icy white landscape as Kaizen seemed to glide across the battlefield like an ice skater.
But when Kaizen saw the spearman’s blows, he soon felt the urge to test his new Spear of Able Fury, which had been in his inventory for a few days. He knew he would have to get close to Kevneth to use it effectively, and that was probably what Kevneth wanted most, being an experienced spearman. Still, Kaizen was someone who could be stubborn at times, so with a deft leap, he dismounted his bow and equipped the spear, feeling its power pulsate in his hands.
The Spear of Capable Fury glowed with an intense light, emitting waves of energy that sliced through the air. Kaizen didn’t even think twice about it, and charged forward with excitement, swinging the spear in a spinning motion, making the weapon rotate in circles, creating a spinning defense against Kevneth’s blows, while at the same time delivering swift and precise blows to his opponent.
Kevneth, on the other hand, was overly impressed by Kaizen’s skill with the throw. So he tried to block Kaizen’s attacks with his spear, but the pulsing energy of the Able Fury Spear was overwhelming. Kaizen’s blows were almost relentless, and he pressed Kevneth harder and harder, advancing with a series of vertical and horizontal strikes and blows, combining the agility of the Able Fury Spear’s attributes with the raw power of the <Giant’s Lungs> skill.
Snow flew through the air as the two fighters moved quickly, leaving distinct footprints on the white surface. The intensity of the battle was palpable even to onlookers.
