Suprise..Hammer throw!

Reaching the arena I stood there as I swung my hammer around for a bit testing it's weight being a new game and all I had to get adjusted to its weight if I wanted to perform the skills I have developed, as a simple mortal you couldn't get access combat styles or taught skills, and even if you did it would be extremely hard to get to use those skills this was a game after all and most of the skills had a requirement that was needed to be meet, as I couldn't improve my physical body as easy, mind was the only stat that this game could improve as ones mind was immersed in this world it was natural to develop and well I heard that spirit stat was basicly set when one was born only through evolution or some secret skills or some type of lucky encounter one could improve in that regard, the good thing I was lucky enough to be born with a strong soul and spirit.

The boy took his damn well time to walk reach the arena a grin never left is face as he seemed to be planning on enjoying this fight, that look of his just made me more and more enraged it was the look of some one of nobility looking down on a peasant.

Both standing in the starting position, I received a notification and it read ''you have received a dueling petition from Bloody Rampenstein, duel to the death 3 days penalty.''

A 3 days penalty would mean you wouln't be able to join in until 3 days passed duels had many settings and this one was one of the tamer penalties that could be imposed, besides a friendly spar, one could have a wager for money, or be even force to serve the winner for a set amount of in game time, even if you didn't join the game for that time it wouldn't pass by until that time in game passed.

''3 day penalty eh?'' I said mockingly towards Rampenstein.

''well ofcourse, I wouldn't want a peasant to be to scared for a wager for money'' he said bouncing a taunt back to me.

''I accept'' I gritted my teeth at his comment

System: ''confirmation has been set, battle commencing in 3…2…''

As the counter reached one I swung my hammer downwards ''1…Go!'' Rampenstein quickly dashed towards me as my hammer reached the ground arcane magic resonated with the ground, it felt like hitting a gong, a pulse of energy in a circle emanated from the gigantic hammer and it condensed in front of me as a obelisk slammed down in between me and Rampenstein this obelisk had the size of to men and was as wide as a pillar, it was a hexagon shape and it was spiky in the end, as the obelisk emerged downwards it cut off the path Rampenstein was following as I quickly raise my hammer in front of me in a defensive position, he quickly stopped and took a few steps back the obelisk was pulsing releasing arcane energy in circle area around it, he stood just outside of its range.

''scared? Come at me!'' I said laughing at him as he looked at me with a frown

''im not that stupid'' he said waiting outside of the area locking his eyes on me waiting for god knows what.

As a obsidian this was the most basic strategy in terms of speed and agility we lacked but we had the advantage of terrain control, wherever we put our obelisks it would fuel our defenses and lower the opponents energy and defenses it was our main way of fighting as obsidians relied on that mist like armor and if broken we would die almost instantly, obelisk once put down didn't drain much energy but 1 was all I could muster without quickly running out of energy.

His was a basic plan, wait for me to run out of stamina and then finish me off, I thought he was going to be a bit more impulsive but this kid had quite a cool head at least, well I was off to plan be, hope to god I can actually out skill this slayer.

I stood near my obelisk as it feed its arcane pulses into the mist that surrounded my body and holding my hammer with one hand I point my fingers at him as my eyes show a pink glow coming out of them, everyone had some sort of energy and they all had different colors some people thought it was based around personalities and the soul but no one really knows what the energy entails all that we know about it certain colors and energies are more in tune into different paths and that its generated from ones soul, my color was pure pink so I was both attuned to arcane and earth magic, another reason why I loved my class as I was a perfect fit for it.

''Arcane blast!'', a ball the size of a base ball shoot out from the tip of the obelisk as it condensed, the obelisk were the casting catalyst for my class as a mage/tank class, it shot out at a decently fast speed but Rampenstein quickly side stepped it as he has been watching me the whole time.

I smiled at him as I kept shooting him over and over again he started to dodge at quite a fast pace and didn't seem to be wasting much energy on his own movements, as the battle went on I could definitely feel myself loosing quite a bit of energy I had about 60% left of my own energy reserves, I started to shoot faster and faster as I kept firing at him finally he wasn't able to dodge and quickly blocked 2 incoming arcane blast that had him loose his balance for a bit and while distracted I took my chance and swung my hammer wildly throwing it at him as I dashed behind it, a simple trick I did but mostly always worked with people who fought with me, as he saw my gigantic hammer being thrown at him his eyes widened as his arms covered themselves in black, his eyes letting black energy loose as he deflected the hammer I came in swinging with a sucker punch to the gut, he was a bit shocked, no one really expects a person to discard his own weapon and throw it at the enemy as a surprise tactic.. I call it surprise hammer throw bask in my stupid, simple but working methods.. haha! bask in my stupid technique so bad that the system doesn't even recognize it!.. ehem.

As I punched him in the gut it had staggered him a bit enough for me grab his head and do a reverse back throw throwing him towards my obelisk and quicky I point my finger at him while still on the ground as arcane blast shoot at him, clearly maddened he blocked the attacks quite well but all the energy he had to release to block the shots from close quarters was quickly feeding my mist armor and even then some attacks were hitting their mark and he was taking quite a bit of damage as he wasn't that durable as is, his legs were covered in black as he took a step and as I blinked I had a knife stuck in mist next to my neck, scary!..

I quickly tried to respond but he started to attack me in a series of quick blows all of them going for my vitals, he truly was a assassin, he couldn't damage me properly as the mist kept repelling its attacks but it was quickly diminishing, only plan C left I thought as I quickly jumped backwards taking note of were my hammer was and as I tried to pick it up he stood up in front of me attacking me over and over again interrupting me from casting, ''alright here goes!'' I thought as I saw him trying to stab me with both knifes.

I quickly concentrated on my mist armor, I took over the passive armor and as one could actively control it or let you it react to damage alone, I let the mist disperse for a second as he was about to stab my neck and torso I concentrated on the neck and caught his knife with the mist armor reactivating I quickly grabbed his arm as I did so, I also felt slight pain as my stomach was easily pierced and coughed blood.. Dealing severe damage and ill probably bleed out, but it doesn't matter its just a game after all!, I grab his arm I wink at him and his eyes were fueled by rage as he kept trying stabbing at me but my mist armor was back on, he was quite strong and was dragging me but with the help of my mist armor I kept holding on smiling at him, the pain was minimal as it was at 20% setting on the game, I was at critical condition and couldn't hold on much longer as I was still bleeding, but then my plan came into fruition as a barrage of arcane blast suddenly slammed onto his back about 5 of them hit him directly and we were both pushed back I could see the shock and his face was in pain, as a slayer he probably had its pain setting above 70%, for training his willpower and pain resistance, nevertheless it wasn't enough to take him down.. Yet, as we were throw backwards I stretched my free arm and grab my hammer was I let go of his arm and swing downwards at him.

''DIE!! VERTICAL HURRICANE SPIN!'' I screamed at the top of my lungs, I kinda liked screaming my moves names..

My hammer slammed onto the ground and using the momentum I went sideways and started the spin as it quickly speed up as I used the mist armor that I had left and expelled it to keep momentum growing and quickly slammed down at the still staggered Rampenstein, while yes this takes long to explain it would be said this all took as much time as a minute, the spins momentum and gravity did its job as the hammers end hit him squared in the head and his body shattered in a flash of light.

System: ''Pink motion is the winner''

Rampenstein re-spawned next to the arena as so did I, my character was quickly restored, he looked at me eyes in shock and rage.

''Gimmicks! All you did was Gimmicks I was clearly superior! In a real fight you would've died!''

I quickly laugh ''even if I died I would have taken you down with me, so slayer I hope you enjoy these next 3 days''

His body was flashing in data as he was being forcefully disconnected, ''Ill get you for this ill show you your place!'' he said as he was fuming with rage and quickly was disconnected.

I laughed and looked at my friends approaching.

Lakir was the first to speak ''making enemies again are we?''

'' hahaha just putting some one in their place'' I said with a quick smirk

''one day it will come and bite you in the ass you know?''

he said with a smile, and oh how it was true.
