Chapter 85: Battle Tournament rules

Deloris town;

In the Mayor's mansion, the two architects are showing various designs to Wil for the next upcoming project inside the town.

Looking at the designs, Wil shook his head, "no, I don't want it to be stylish. You can consider this place is like my administration region. So, it should have a feeling of intimidation, majestic, etc… on one glance, especially the Mayor's office. Did you understand what I'm trying to tell?"

"Yes, Mr. Ravens. We understand. However, if I must suggest…"

*Ding. World Battle Tournament is commenced. Please proceed to Battle Arena within two hours to register yourselves. Check the official website for details.

"Eh? Battle Tournament? Ah… that's right. It's the third week since the game released. I nearly forgot about it."

Wil then said, "we can discuss that later. Until then, you come up with the necessary designs first."

After sending them away, Wil opened the official website from forums like everyone else.

Each battle has a time limit of 5 minutes.

It'll be declared as a draw once the time limit reached and both of them receive a score of zero.

Every winner will receive one battle coin at the end of the match. Battle coins can be used in the battle shop to buy consumable items after preliminaries.

The items bought in the battle shop can be used in upcoming battles.

"Ah, I forgot about battle coins. They are a game-changer to the top 128. Anyway, this is a good opportunity to scout the other legend class users.

Previously, I neither bothered to know their names or their Kingdom and guilds since I already quit the game by the time I knew the existence of legend class. Now, it's different. Just one similar skill to Bran's or mine will disclose their identity."

Closing the website, Wil mumbled, "Hmm, now that I think about it, I guess this going to be the first time I'll get to meet Bran, at least in this life."

***

Lunaris city, Reverie Kingdom;

Bran was on a killing spree against an elite force from the capital city that was sent to take care of his guild.

After killing everyone, with a smile on his face, as he was collecting epic grade equipment dropped from his enemies, suddenly, a world-wide announcement has been made.

Looking at the details, Bran gasped, "5000 gold? Full set legendary equipment? And even a legendary pet? Wow, Summersoft sure is generous. But, let's not be greedy, shall we. If I have such amazing equipment, then, there's a high chance that others also have this class and equipment. So, let's tone down our goal...

Hmm, as long as I get into the top 16, full set epic grade equipment is guaranteed for sure. I already have a mythic grade sword and crown.

I'm not in need of an attack now. What I need is defense."

Griffin city, Griffin Kingdom, North Zalfari Continent;

A tall and muscular player was entering the streets of the capital city along with a hundred elite players.

The weakest of them is level-102 and every one of them has epic grade equipment from top to bottom while the one in front even possesses three pieces of legendary grade equipment. Meanwhile, a mighty griffin was flying in the sky following them.

He's the leader of the Excalibur and is also the first legend class user that advanced to 2* Magic Swordsman and Ear.

Everyone in the streets of the capital was giving them way, whether it's an NPC or a player.

If one thinks he's so formidable that everyone fears him, then, it's wrong.

The center of focus here isn't the guild leader but the weakest of them, the happy go lucky girl who was walking with side by side with him. 

Why?

It's a simple reason. The legendary grade monster that was following them was her pet, which is also the symbol of the kingdom giving her the status of royalty. 

Just then, a world-wide notification is being made…

Looking at the details, the leader of the Excalibur guild glanced at the sky and tightly made a fist, "I don't care about being royalty but need to get that legendary grade pet at all costs."
