Chapter 99: WBT: Wil vs One part-1

On the dueling platform, two players stood opposite to each other seventy meters away in silence. Both of them have bows in their hands and arrows between their fingertips but neither is willing to fire it first.

It's Wil and One.

One is a hidden legend class user that has the potential to rule the game while the other is an established legendary pro among gamers that even defeated a legendary grade boss in a dungeon using normal arrows without getting hit ever.

Meanwhile, millions of players sitting in the audience section are cheering. While the rest of the world is cheering for "One", the battle arenas in the Llyne Kingdom, especially East Ocean city, and the Llyne city is filled with cheers for Wil, save for his enemies.

As an experienced gamer over 10 years, "One" was able to judge Wil's strength not only because of the info gathered by his subordinates but also because he wasn't able to find any openings at a first glance.

On the other hand, Wil was worried inside and hesitating to fire it as he knew; the first to fire will lose the first bout, which he doesn't wish to do so. Not to mention, "One" is a master at dodging.

In his past life's 3 years of gaming, Wil never heard someone was able to land a hit on "One," not even an NPC boss. It might be because; Wil focused too much on Bran but either way, in his mind, "One" is indeed a monster.

Originally, Wil thought of ending the match quickly with heavenly push if he will ever meet strong guys like One, Bran, etc... But, since he met this opponent very early, Wil decided not to use it unless it's necessary.

Under huge pressure, Wil wasn't able to think of a strategy to win the match but as he thought about Heavenly push, something clicked his mind and he pulled the string even harder.

Looking at his opponent's action, "One" easily figured it out that Wil is going to attack first. As Wil shot an arrow, "One" too shot an arrow much to Wil's surprise and both of them collided slightly on Wil's side because of more power from "One" and it knocked it off Wil's arrow and went straight towards his chest like a lightning.

Meanwhile, a series of thoughts instantly appeared in Wil's mind.

"Since it knocked out my arrow, his attack stat must be greater than mine. And considering he's not a legend class, it's unlikely he has a legendary grade accessory. So, that only means he has a legendary grade weapon.

Even if he has a level-150 weapon, at most the weapon attack stat is around 6 million." 

Just when the audience thought Time Traveler can't dodge it, Wil mumbled, "Heavenly push, 60 mana."

A gust of wind released from his body in all directions and pushed the arrow away but failed to push away his opponent as he was already out of the range by the moment it reached him.

Wil nodded in satisfaction as his opponent moved exactly as he predicted. After all, what he doesn't want anyone to know about the damage effects of his trump card after his range of attack was already revealed by one of his opponents, which is probably the reason, "One" was able to dodge the attack by moving backward as soon as Wil unleashed it.

Looking at 2 minutes Cooldown, Wil sighed, "well, I can only use the skill once more in this match and he still hasn't revealed anything.

Anyway, now that he confirmed my theory, I need to be careful and should drag him closer at any rate. Once he gets trapped inside Ice, it'll be finished."

Wil then dashed towards "One" and jumped high before releasing an arrow towards him. "One" smiled as he took an arrow from the quiver and shot it towards the upcoming attack.

Just as their first confrontation, One's arrow knocked off Wil's and went towards him but the latter was able to dodge the incoming attack as he landed on the ground and shot another arrow, then, rolled to the left to release the net arrow without caring whether the first one would hit or not.

With his quick hands, "One" just nullified them easily and glanced at Wil, "this guy is good but it's time I should show the difference between us."

One quickly took two arrows from his quiver and aimed at Wil, who was surprised, "two arrows?"

Placing one of them between his index finger and middle finger and the other in between middle finger and ring finger, "One" somehow placed them firmly and shoot it towards Wil with the same amount of power behind it.

As Wil can't take them down, he just rolled to the right and dodged the attack but before he stood up, Wil saw his opponent already shot another twin arrow in this one-third of a second.

In a panic state, as no strategy came to his mind other than dodging and freezing it, Wil quickly conjured an Ice arrow and shot towards one of it and as soon as both of them collide, while the ice arrow got destroyed, the two normal arrows got frozen on the ground.

But, "One" who already expected it, took out another two arrows and placed them on the string to shoot for a second time.

Meanwhile, Wil just used Dash skill and increased the distance between them more than 100 meters and continue to increase so that he gets enough time to think of a strategy to defeat him.

"Do you think distance can solve it? A real archer will not let a mere distance his weakness. And you lose the moment you show your back to an archer."

One then took out three arrows this time, placing the third one between the ring finger and little finger.

He pulled the string as hard as he can and released all the three of them at the same time.

Meanwhile, at Welford city's battle arena, the audience is jumping in excitement while watching One's extraordinary performance.

While the youngest sister, Wakano screamed as "One" finally revealed his multi arrow skill specialty, "there it is… One's triplet arrow. Go "One." Hahaha, his opponent sure is a coward."

While the surrounding Time Traveler's supporters' faces turned dark, they didn't say anything but pray that Wil will win this match as they can't do anything to this little girl.

On other hand, eldest sister Kiyumi was in a discussion with the third sister.

"Looks like Time Traveler has no chance. What do you think?"

The third sister shook her head, "no, he still hasn't revealed his trump card; that freezing skill that can even freeze a legendary grade monster. As long as "One" is in range, Time Traveler can win but I wonder why he is creating a distance, instead."

Kiyumi replied with a smile, "It's simple. That's because he was facing tremendous pressure while fighting against "One." Unlike others, "One" is pretty much famous all over the world and probably every gamer knows his name.

Either that or he guessed that "One" has a legendary grade weapon based on their confrontations. So, he was being careful." 

Back to the game, as the three arrows traveling in a straight line with the power and reached Wil, who is more than 150 meters away from "One," Wil once again tried to dodged the arrows but instead of rolling down to the left, he rolled to the right and the third arrow pierced his shoulder.

*-8397852*

Wil let out a curse as a heavy damage number appeared on his head even though no critical hit appeared.

Watching the match from the audience section, Philip frowned, "what is this boy doing? Did he really forget all that training? Even if his opponent is indeed an expert Archer and Wil can't counterattack at such a high range, he should have able to dodge it with his eyes closed.

After all, it's only been a few years since he last picked up the bow. The skills won't go away that easily.

Ugh… if Andrea were to see this, she would be embarrassed.

Sigh… what are you thinking, Phil, it's just a game and Andrea is no more anyway. Instead of thinking why he was going to lose, let's just appreciate his efforts of making it this far."

Back to the battle, after getting almost killed with a simple arrow, Wil summoned his fallen angels and ordered Dromeus to heal him while he tried to heal himself.

Meanwhile, "One" once again took three arrows from the quiver and fired it from 150 meters away with accuracy. If one observes carefully, they will realize, he slightly held them in a different manner before releasing it.
