"If you end up in an ice element part, then you are unlucky!" Izzaku said!
"If you end up facing Zerze, then you are even more unlucky!" Lil Karolin added!
The stream was mostly about Zerze and his overwhelming power in the Ice Elemental Part! It went without saying that the organizers purposely put him here to show off more of his skills gained from The Impossible Quest.
A lot of people were curious about his skills, but the players gathered around him were unfortunately too weak to contest him.
In this place, Zerze felt like a fish in the water.
He was unrestrained by anything, his body already used to the coldness.
Contrary to him, the players were facing a lot of messages about their body condition! They were slowed and barely uttered any words, their lips parting only after Zerze smashed their faces or bodies.
And if his fist sank into the player's face from the front, then the player silently disappeared from an island.
Lil Karolin sadly commented, "We expected Zerze to show at least one of his skills from The Impossible Quest, but we can see how he managed to go through it! He was born cold!"
"Unlucky is what I would say, but don't we have a lot of promising stars here? Let's wait and see who will be the first one to bring out more from Zerze!" Izzaku added.
A few minutes later, his eyes went wide as the first promising star appeared on the screen!
It was a white-haired woman with a sword in her hand. This sword had some blood on it and her appearance told everyone that she appeared from a different elemental part!
There was a lot of white steam coming out from her as she stepped forward to find Zerze immediately after finding Ice Part!
"I know that those fools would put you here," Yumi said after Zerze emerged from the white forest.
Those fools were organizers who had put Zerze here. This was heard by everyone and most people chuckled at her words! The commentators giggled too and silently listened to these two talks.
"And you knew I would be able to find you," Zerze raised a good point!
This was something Venomous thought about too, so she nodded and just replied, "It was just baseless theory," She brandished her sword and added, "You want my skill... I want your fame."
"Further words are useless," Zerze ended the talk and clenched his spear.
It was not his Ice Spear, but the weapon he'd received from the box.
His opponent's weapon was the same; a cheap sword given by organizers.
However, both those weapons allowed them to use most of their skills.
But as Zerze was handicapped by the lack of his Ice Spear, Venomous also lacked her potions, so this battle wasn't to their utmost of abilities.
All of it didn't matter, however.
Venomous kicked the ground and leaped forward, her sword already oozing out the sharp skill from Warrior Class. Her weapon cleaved at Zerze who raised his spear with both hands and blocked her assault with the middle point of his weapon.
Undaunted, Venomous spun and let out more attacks that got blocked by Zerze using the end of his spear or the tip.
After this short exchange, both of them distanced themselves.
Short rest that lasted less than thirty seconds ended in a flash and their clash returned.
In this clash, Venomous learned that she wasn't behind when it came to swordsmanship and spearmanship.
She also could block Zerze's attempts to wound her!
"Is this a stalemate situation?" Izzaku asked.
His partner shook her head, "They didn't show much... Those were skills coming from Warrior Class. In this aspect, they are similar!" Their eyes were also the same!
Both of them were driven by zealous ambition!
Both of them wouldn't stop unless one was put!
"Ah!" Lil Karolin suddenly let out a scream! "She did it!"
In close contact, Venomous found the gap first! She hacked on Zerze's arm and drew a deep line that went from his shoulder down to his chest! Blood spurted out like a fountain and a new kind of emotion slipped into Zerze's dilated eyes.
He glanced at his wounded body.
[A severe bleeding has been applied to your body!]
[You are losing -300 HP per 5 seconds!]
"Cold Time... I am not used to this kind," Zerze said.
It was the wound dealt by the cooperation of her skills, will and Cold Time.
In a slowed-down area, Zerze had yet to find himself and his moves were awkward and uncontrollable. He failed to block and even more, to avoid Venomous' sword that ravenously yearned for his blood!
A big wound opened and blood oozed out, but Zerze finally used one of his skills.
[Your bleeding has stopped.]
Ice appeared around his wound, then crept its way across it and probably even entered inside that wound to appease the pain! The whole process lasted less than a minute and in this time, Zerze managed to read Venomous' Cold Time.
By this time, he also knew that to win against her, he would need to exert the most of his spearmanship.
Why would he trouble himself?
It was best to let the ice out!
"Ice is to craft," Zerze uttered, then ice crept its way onto his spear. His whole body exploded with a chilling coldness, his eyes shining blue, "You do not know anything about your Cold Time. You are just using it and base it on what you have felt on The Impossible Quest."
"True." Yumi had fought against those Blue Eyes in The Ice Tomb's Vault and became a player worthy of this skill.
However, Zerze not only fought against it but became someone more than worthy.
He was about to show it to her, "There is one weakness for your Cold Time."
His spear became an ice weapon that drew blue trails with each move. Those trails let out ice shards that barreled against Venomous each time he moved.
Of course, Venomous' sword advanced and broke down all those shards!
"I can create ice out of thin air and turn it into a weapon," Zerze's craft was simple as of now. "And you know well how fast I can be," He added while increasing his speed.
Before they could fight equally, Venomous' focus got split and she was forced to look out for ice shards and his spear.
Venomous didn't get disappointed in herself, however.
Even after this man's speed heightened, she could still keep up with him and his shards. She brought out so much strength and skill from Zerze that the crowd was delighted, but Zerze's show was just about to end.
"Ice is to craft. Didn't I say it?" His eyes turned below and he pointed his ice spear's tip at Venomous!
From below, the shattered ice turned into a spear! This spear hurtled itself at Venomous' thigh and pinned her down to one place!
"Ah!" It was not just one spear, but the second and third flew from other directions as well!
Yumi could no longer keep her voice just to herself and let out a groan!
[Your bleeding turned into severe bleeding.]
[Your body has begun freezing.]
[Your movement and stamina are reduced.]
On top of that, Yumi's Cold Time lost its effect entirely.
She couldn't go against Zerze and fell onto her knees, blood already staining the snow and making its way toward Zerze.
He stood before her, his eyes locked on her fallen form. His spear rose, then went down in a quick rush! It drilled into Venomous' shoulder, digging blood and HP out of her body!
Her vision became filled with devastating messages.
[Absolute Zero has invaded your system!]
[-408 HP!]
[-453 HP!]
[Your body has been frozen!]
[-504 HP!]
[-598 HP!]
[You can not move.]
"Ahh! Ahh..." It was even hard to close her lips that turned blue due to Absolute Zero invading her body!
Yumi just knelt before Zerze, her body inept. It looked like she could only wait for this man to end her life, but Yumi's heart thumped out loudly.
[You have gotten the title - Unbridled.]
[Critical Strike! -1222 HP!]
"!"
Zerze's eyes went wide as Yumi suddenly ignored all effects and let out her sword straight into his wound! The ice around it shattered instantly and her sword pierced as deeply as possible, becoming a critical strike that severely hurt him!
The bleeding became uncontrollable, but the ice was his friend! It sealed the wound again and even stole the sword from the white-haired lady's hand!
"For this, I will make you pay in the future," Venomous glared at Zerze whose title was also activated.
[Chosen By The Ice Dragon.]
His spear shivered while lodged in Venomous' body, then a blue streak like a mist escaped her body! It swirled around the spear, then Venomous' Cold Time got stolen away from her. She faced that message with undaunted eyes while waiting for her demise.
However, Zerze took out his sword just before her HP fell to zero.
"For your boyfriend, I won't kill you," He said and turned around, "Your weakness is exactly what I did. You can keep an eye on what's ahead of you, but any long-distance attack turned against you is.. your weakness."
Zerze added, "I also feel like a sword is not for you. That's what I feel after fighting against you."
"I like punching faces more... I guess... Though I didn't want to accept that..." Yumi's mind flashed with the time in prison and she couldn't help but bitterly smile, "After that man appeared... everything went downhill... I want a hug."
Alas, her prince and little sister weren't here.
