World Champion Tournament

I left the alchemy guild and made my way to the marketplace to sell the other items I had acquired. Suddenly I saw a group of three players in front of me and I immediately took my guard against them. One of the players was a neast tamer, one was a mage and one was a samurai. The mage attacked me with his [Flame Wing] spell, the tamer with two wolves and the samurai with his katana. I used my sword [Energy İmpact: MP-20] and it worked almost like a super spell, breaking the enemy's spell, killing the wolves and pushing the samurai back.

I cast [Extend tier IX Spell: Temporary Stasis] on the samurai, immobilizing him. I took advantage of the immobilization of all enemies to cast my first special spell:

[Super Level Spell: Iä Shub-Niggurath]

An AoE move that unleashes a black whirlwind used to instantly kill every creature in its range.

The enemies' perspective:

At first our mage felt big vibrations in the mine. So we set up an ambush there and started spying on the group for now, but then we realized that it wasn't a group, but a single Hetemorph player. At first we couldn't believe it, so the mage cast a detection spell, but it was really just one person. So we wasted no time attacking, after all we were outnumbered and our average level was more than 50. The items he had were not bad at all and the most outstanding item was the beautiful light green sword. I had to have it, but when we attacked, that sword flashed and did devastating area damage, paralyzing us. This much damage could not have been normal and our nerves got the best of us:

-Die you fucking Hetemorph, I'll feed you to my wolves. (Tamer)

-You ugly son of a bitch release me now or we will follow you with our entire guild until your character is erased (Samurai)

-Yes, our guild is only two kilometers away from here, if you let us go, we will forgive you (Wizard)

But the man cast another spell, immobilizing me once more. He knew that I would first get rid of the negative status effect. At that moment a huge spell appeared in the air and I knew it was not a good sign. Obviously I was still alive so I knew I would survive his attack but I couldn't risk it.

-Hey, look, we can make a deal. Release me right now and I'll give you ten high level HP and MP potions(Samurai)

-Yes. And I'll let you make things from our guild blacksmith at a thirty percent, no, fifty percent discount. Anyway, the blacksmith is a close acquaintance of mine, I can give you a hundred percent guarantee.(Wizard)

-Man, I'll pay you a 50 dollars if you let us go. (Tamer)

But the spell was still activated and a huge black tornado appeared and we all panicked and started saying whatever we could:

- Don't do this. You bitch. Noooooooo.

And we're all dead

MC's POV:

[Level up: 73-76]

You suffered negative effects:

[-10% Agility; -10% Magic Defense; -10% Mana]

'To be honest, those birdbrains chattered a lot, but in the end I killed them easily. They all dropped one [Legacy-class] item. I think this was their only legacy-class item. Hehehe... This made me over-enthusiastic.'

Now I'm going to destroy their guild because they're close to the [Celestilal Uranium] mine and it's dangerous. I immediately searched for the guild building with the flying spell and found the only building in the clearing. The building was small, probably a weak newly established guild, which was good news for me. I immediately cast [Energy Laser Thrust: MP-20] with my sword to attack the building. The result was a huge hole in the wall of the guild house, like a tank hitting it, and I killed four of the players. The three players who had recovered from their surprise tried to charge me, but I quickly cast [Silent IX tier Magic: Nuclear Blast] on the guild building and destroyed them all, including the guild weapon.

You killed ten players in total.

[Congratulations you leveled up: lvl 74-79]

You have been exposed to negative status effects:

[-20% MP; -20% PA; -20% MA; -20% MD; -20% PD]

[Attention!! Your location will be revealed to each player for twenty minutes]

[Congratulations on destroying a guild]

['Fairy Tale' guild's weapon was destroyed by 'Ashfall Nightshade'. The number of people who caused the destruction of the guild: 1.]

You took the title of {Father of Destruction}.

{Maximum number of spells that can be used +100}

{Super-tier Magic cool down and activation time -20%}

I looted everything there and immediately moved away from the area. Fortunately, the guild was set up on the outskirts, away from the city. Twenty minutes passed without any problems and I left the game.

I woke up in the morning, took a warm shower and prepared dinner. While I was eating, I was surfing the internet and came across a wonderful news story:

[Yddgrasil World Champion Tournament will start in one week. We are looking forward to the participants].

I immediately got into the game and got in touch with Touch Me. Touch Me was definitely participating in the tournament and was very excited to fight in the world of Múspellsheim. Unfortunately, Bukbuk and Perro were not participating in this tournament. According to them, it was impossible for them to win the tournament, so it was not worth their time. Of course, I entered the tournament and chose Niflheim as my world, and then I entered the tournament with Touch Me.

_________

Tournament day.....

It was now half an hour before the tournament started. I had spent an insane amount of money, time and effort all week, just like the other players who were going to participate, but in the end it was worth it. This is what my character's stats look like now:

When I last leveled the Nephalem class, I got three new powerful traits:

[Symphony of Sacred Swords]- you can create swords around you that cost two MP and use them as you wish. There is no limit to the amount of swords you can make and you can make them at once until you run out of mana. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

[Demonic Resistance]- Damage you take for ten minutes will not reduce your HP but will consume twice as much MP. When MP is depleted, it reduces HP by twice as much.

Cost: 15MP

Waiting time: 20 minutes.

[Apocalypse]- Divine and demonic energy is compressed into a single point, creating a black hole. This black hole draws MP and HP from all enemies over a large area. Depending on the HP and MP drained, it causes a huge explosion.

Cost: 20 MP

Cooldown time: 30 minutes

I chose Niflheim as the tournament world and waited until the countdown was over. When the countdown was over, I was teleported into a huge arena. Someone who was clearly the GM started an impassioned speech:

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is the first battle of the tournament. On one side we have the one hundred and twenty second ranked...Pfftt...{I Want Dick_31_69}...PFFtt...hahaha sorry sir your name is a bit strange". There was loud laughter from the entire audience. "Anyway, on the other side is {Ashfall Nightshade} who is quite mysterious and powerful. Yes, you didn't hear me wrong, this is the player who is ranked first in the world."

There was a loud 'ohhhhh' comment from the audience watching.

'I can't see the opponent's expression, but I'm sure he's boiling with nerves right now. It's his fault for giving such a strange name. But it's good that he is so angry, he will make more mistakes this way. His game character is human and in the [Monk] class and I think he's pretty weak. Right now my character looks like a warrior/knight class. I will observe my true strength under this guise and kill him with the least effort and stealth.'

As soon as the battle starts, the opponent says "Die. Die. Die." He screamed and attacked me. I counterattacked with my sword, avoiding his attacks. The sword hit him and inflicted bleeding damage. He made a magical fist attack against me and his hands accelerated like a machine gun. I didn't really need to dodge, but I immediately retreated and he kept approaching me. He probably thinks he has me cornered.

But suddenly I counterattacked and attacked with [Energy Slash] with my sword. The attack caught him by surprise and the opponent panicked, and after five blows, amplified by [Energy Boost], he died.

Immediately, celebrations erupted and I teleported back to the white room. I started to analyze the possible opponents. The biggest threats were the eighth, tenth, thirteenth and seventeenth in the ranking. I watched them carefully. After their battle was over, I left the game and spent some time doing chores, then went to sleep. The next match was scheduled for tomorrow.

My second match of the tournament started with the announcer again talking enthusiastically. The opponent was a thirtieth ranked player. From the robes he wore and the staff in his hand, it was easy to tell that he was a wizard. As soon as the battle started, he started backing away and attacked me with the [Flame Wing] spell. So I charged at him and cut the spell in midair. "How is this possible. You didn't break the spell, after all, I cast it with silent magic, so it's the sword. Or is it a Divine-class item?!"

The whole audience started whispering. After all, very few people had items of this level at this stage. I cast [Energy Thrust: MP-15] with my sword, the spell pierced the opponent, threw him across the arena and applied Stun, dealing high damage. Just as I finished him off, he quickly recovered from the effect and summoned four {High Demon}. Obviously I was a bit surprised by this, but I immediately used the [Apocalypse] spell. Suddenly a red-gold black hole appeared in the middle of the enemies. A stream of red and blue translucent energy flowed from the bodies of the enemies towards the black madman. Then a huge explosion created a huge mushroom cloud and caused an earthquake in the arena. Of course, no one survived the explosion and I was the winner. The devastating power of this explosion left all the spectators speechless, even the referee was silent for a few seconds like a cat that swallowed its tongue, but he quickly recovered and declared me the winner.

"What power, what might. Yes, all precious spectators, just seeing this spectacular attack live proves that this player is the winner of the ranking."

The twitchers began to whisper among themselves:

"What spell is this? This is the first time I've seen such a devastating spell, I wonder if it's a super spell."

"Actually, I've never seen a super spell activate this fast, and he didn't use [Hour Glass], so it's not a super spell."

"You're right, it's probably a racial or item-assisted spell."

The next day the quarterfinals started:

"Dear audience, today we are at a very special stage of the tournament. The two highest ranked players here will fight each other for a place in the quarterfinals. On one side of the arena we have Ashfall, a very famous player who single-handedly destroyed a guild, and on the other side we have Nikolai, one of the founders of the strongest guild, ranked twenty-second.

And now, dear viewers, without further ado, I bring you this spectacular matchup... GO..."

MC's POV

The opposition player disappeared from sight when the order to start was given. I immediately stepped aside and the ground I had just stood on crumbled before my eyes. I guess even Nicholas himself didn't expect me to avoid this attack. I immediately applied [Energy Boost] to the sword for a counterattack and charged at him. He deftly avoided my attacks and launched another attack against me: his double dagger emitted black smoke and stabbed into my shadow. It was impossible to avoid this attack and I took [-10 HP] damage. "I guess you're not as strong as you think you are, huh?" Nikolai tried to provoke me.

It was time to get serious and I cast powerful spell of the tournament:

[Extend IX tier Magic: Crack in the Ground]

Assassin's feet got stuck in the ground and he was immobilized. I used the spell [VIII tier Magic: Dimensional Lock] to prevent him from escaping by using magic. With the spell [Super tier Magic: Iä Shub-Niggurath] I wiped him out of the arena. The whole short attack was completely one-sided and the spectators came to their senses after a minute's pause and started cheering.

I left the game without listening to the announcer's words and exhaled a long breath. To be honest, that assassin had made me a bit nervous, but that doesn't matter now. I spent the all day reading funny comments on websites about me and other players.

The next day I came back to the tournament lobby. There was already a battle in the arena and I watched it carefully, as I was going to face the winner in the final. The battle was between the tenth and eighth players in the world ranking, and after a long time the winner was a paladin named Conqueror, the eighth in the world. Now it was my turn to fight and I teleported into the arena. My opponent was Yamada, an archer of the elven race.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the outcome of this battle will determine who will fight in the final. Obviously I'm not going to tire anyone out with talking so (LET THE WAR BEGIN!!!)"

MC' POV

As soon as the battle started, the Elven archer launched a powerful attack from afar, the tip of his arrow glowed rainbow-colored and turned into a huge magical spear, firing at high speed. I tried to dodge but my spell was broken, so I used [Defense from Five Corners] with my shield, but the incoming arrow shattered the shield and dealt tremendous damage of [-30HP]. I used [Energy Thrust] with my sword, but he narrowly avoided the attack and fired three arrows at me. The arrows hit the shield made of magic and I cast [Extend IX Tier Magic: Tempest] first, dealing a small amount of damage and restricting his vision. I then activated [Energy Boost] and attacked him with my sword. He dodged all of my sword strikes and counterattacked with the magic dagger. Our weapons collided in mid-air, but I emerged victorious and plunged the sword into his chest, poisoning him. He tried to run back, but I used the spell [Symphony of Sacred Swords] and thirty-five swords appeared in the air like a glowing cross. At that time, my figure looked like a sword god who had risen up against the world. The whole arena was silent, as if the essence of sound had succumbed to this power and fallen silent. All of the swords pointed their tips at the enemy and launched a relentless attack on the enemy. Yamada parried the first few attacks, but the remaining swords skewered and destroyed him.

"What a great battle, for a moment I thought Yamadan would win, but Ashfall destroyed him in a very spectacular way. I wonder what other trump cards this man has up his sleeve."

Again the announcer ended the tournament with a few words of encouragement and I searched the websites for information about my opponent. Conqueror's biggest trump card was his power called [Holy Flame]. This way he could do a large-scale AOE attack on demons, undead and skeletons that did a lot of damage. I was a little worried about the battle, but I was confident. Meanwhile, on another site there was a bet on who would emerge victorious. The odds said I had a sixty-three percent chance of winning, and the money was on the line. So I took the bet. So I took the bet and bet a very large sum of money and went to bed and fell asleep.

Tomorrow I waited until the tournament started. Finally the time came and I was teleported to the arena.

"The moment has arrived, today the champion of the world of Niflheim, will be crowned. Both sides have emerged victorious from their previous fierce battles, but who will win in the final? Now let this final battle begin!!!"

Conqueror immediately attacked me using the [Holy Smite] spell. I blocked the attack with [Defense from Five Corners] and counterattacked with [Super Tier Magic: Fallen Down] using Hourglass. This time his shield flashed and redirected some of the incoming attack at me, causing [-11 HP] damage to my health bar. This time I attacked with every [Silent IX tier Magic: Call Greater Thunder] spell. Many lightning bolts converged in the air and hit the Conqueror with great speed. The Conqueror used his shield at the last moment, but it dealt him great damage. In an instant he teleported to my side and slashed with his glittering sword. This attack ignored my defenses and dealt [-14 HP] damage. I cast instant death using [IX tier Magic: Grasp Hearth] but he resisted. Even if he survived instant death, he was still stunned, so I cast [Polar Claw], the highest DPS spell focused on ice, which caused massive damage when it hit him. Conqueror then used [Holy Flame] in a last ditch effort.I used [Demonic Resistance] to counter the attack and huge golden flames engulfed my body. The attack caused exactly 78 MP and 26HP damage. Obviously, neither the Conqueror nor the sectarians thought I would survive this attack. Taking advantage of the opponent's surprise, I cast [Silent X rank Spell: Implosion]. His body collapsed in on itself and he fell lifelessly to the ground.

"This, dear spectators, is how the Múspellsheim World Championship Tournament ended. Thank you all for a great event. Now I would like to ask your permission to award the prizes to the winners." As soon as he finished, he snapped his fingers and teleported me to another room. There were other winners here and I immediately recognized Touch Me. The room was magnificently decorated. There was a huge table in the center and at the very beginning there was a throne. Of course the GM was sitting there waiting for us. After we had all calmed down and sat down, the GM began to speak:

"First of all, congratulations to all of you. Now, one by one, tell me the characteristics and background story of the item to be recreated or modernized and I will give you thirty minutes to think about it. Now relax and think carefully."

After thirty minutes that felt like a year for everyone, the champions presented their items to the GM. As each person received their [World Champion-class] items one by one, the number of players in the room decreased. Finally it was my turn, but I hadn't come to a decision yet, so I asked for a postponement. The GM thought about it for a while, but finally agreed with my decision.

_______.....________

After I left the GM room, I received a series of notifications:

[Obtain World Champion Class - You Completed Your Mission]

-{You have a new mission: The Hidden Enemy Among Us}

[You must now use the "Pearl of Despair" item to become an Earth Enemy. No one will recognize you as an enemy of Earth when you transform]

Of course, after all these pluses, I used the World Class item.

{Please choose the type of World Enemy you want to be from Dragon, Angel, Seven Sins, Buddha and Celestial Lord}

{Congratulations! You are now a Dragon-type World Enemy}

You have obtained all the attributes belonging to mighty dragons.

As you upgrade your World Enemy class, your dragon will grow bigger and more powerful.

You can now use [Dragon Breath].

After unlocking the [Shapeshifting] class, you can transform into a dragon.

I'm already extremely powerful now, but the power I will gain in the future will be much more than that.

As I was thinking these thoughts, Touch Me, Bukbuk, Perro approached me. Touch Me was wearing her new armor and shining brightly. They all congratulated me at the same time:

"Congratulations, Ash-san! You fought some truly epic battles."

"Show me your World Champion-class item. I couldn't see what it was because you were the last one left."- Touch Me informed me, very curious and excited.

I lied to him, telling him it was a secret, and I passed it off.

Bukbuk responded with a "Hmph", Perro tirelessly peppered me with questions for minutes, and Touch Me patiently nodded and commented.
