The duo that Lucas had his eye on from team C were named Milo and Ken. Milo used a sword and s.h.i.+eld warrior, while Ken used a rapier warrior that focused more on speed.When the two teams had entered the game and reached their positions. The two of them were both surprised at who they were up against. Novis was mid, and Lucas had changed positions to top.
"Isn"t that the person who played an archer last game. They weren"t playing mid before?" Ken thought. "That might mean that their leader went top to face against Milo. I know you can do it, friend."
Novis had gone mid as his usual Warrior. He felt calm and relaxed compared to before. He just didn"t like the feeling of playing any of the other warriors. This felt the most natural to him, and he could switch to whatever weapons he wanted.
As the first NPC knight got within range, Novis threw out his chain blade slicing the knights head off.
"Looks like he can use that strange weapon quite well," Ken said.
There was one advantage that Novis always had when playing as his Warrior, and that was unpredictability. Nearly no one played the Warrior he was using, and the higher up you went up the ladder, the more people knew about the different warriors.
They would know their counters, the other person"s skills. But Novis"s Warrior was hardly played and had no skills. Even if you came across another person playing the same Warrior, it is unlikely they would play the same way.
The team that had just lost to Lucas"s team were watching by the side line, and the two that Novis had killed were focused on mid.
The two losing teams were currently sitting next to each other, and they were both rooting for the team they had lost against to win. In a way, if that team they lost against won the whole thing, they could say well at least I lost to the best.
"So who do you think is going to win? I mean if you ask me it"s got to be that Duo Milo and Ken."
"I have a feeling that Archer is going to shock everyone here, just wait and see."
After warming up a few times using his chain blade to kill the NPC knights, Novis was finally ready to go in on the attack. But what surprised Novis was that Ken was the one charging forward.
Ken had watched Novis for a while now and saw how he used the chain blade. He felt like he finally had a good understanding of how it was used. As he swung the chain blade out, it would take a few moments for him to pull it back in. It was a medium-range weapon. This small gap would be when Ken would attack.
When Novis swung out both of his chain blades to kill the final two NPC knights, Ken finally dashed in. He ran straight past the chain blade"s and Novis was wide open.
"See what did I tell you, I knew that Ken guy would beat him. The other person was nothing special, now I wish we would have gone up against your team."
Although the other person didn"t say anything, he thought differently. Something was telling him that Novis was special.
With Ken coming towards him, Novis let go of both of the chains and allowed them to drop onto the floor. Then he moved forward and also started charging towards Ken.
"Is he really going to attack me with his bare hands." Ken thought
But then blue particles started to form in his hand, and eventually, it took the shape of a long sword.
"What, he can do that!" Ken thought. He had no clue what Novis warrior was capable of. And in his haste to prove himself to Biden that he was a top Player. He rushed in without checking everything like he usually would.
Ken was already mid-motion into his attack, and all he could do know was thrust forward with his rapier. He was confident in his speed, and his warriors cla.s.s relied on it.
Somehow though, Novis managed to pivot on his right foot and move to the side, then with a single strong strike towards the belly, Ken burst into blue particles.
"Did he just kill Ken in one hit, but how? I know that Warrior doesn"t have a lot of armour, but only damage dealers can produce that kind of damage. He was just using a long sword, and it was an attack to the stomach."
Although Novis was banned from using sword energy in the game through training last year, his overall strength and improved and it was just too much for Ken. It was only a warrior who wore a simple leather piece of armour on his stomach.
The outside hall had suddenly gotten very quiet.
"I see," Ken said, looking from above in the ghost view. "You are just beyond everyone here."
As Novis teammates received the message, even they were surprised. The game had only just started a few moments ago, and only one wave of NPC knights had been deployed. They saw how excellent Ken was so they couldn"t imagine what had happened.
After seeing the message of his friend dying, Milo was more determined than ever. He was careful when moving forward and made sure to stay behind the NPC knights. He kept his s.h.i.+eld up high making sure to block any incoming attacks from Lucas.
"I"m not letting you through," Milo said.
"That Novis, it seems like this year he might even outs.h.i.+ne me." Lucas said, "Well, we can"t let that happen now, can we?"
Lucas started to run forward towards Milo. However, Milo was prepared and started to turtle up with his s.h.i.+eld. When the attack came, he would use his skill s.h.i.+eld bash at just the right time to knock the scythe away and go in for the attack.
But then, like a pole vault, Lucas propped the bottom of his scythe into the ground and lunched himself over Milo. As he landed, he did a 180 spin swinging his scythe behind him cutting Milo in half.
The two of them had finished off their opponents easily. After that, the rest of the team was quickly dealt with. The others weren"t that special and really only won their last game because of Milo and Ken.
With Team A winning the final match it meant Lucas and Novis had done it. They were going to t.i.tan University.
