Chapter 1098: Delivered On A Silver Platter
[System Alert: The second round will commence between Player Izroth and Player Peaceful Chaos in 1 minute. Score: [Izroth: 1] [Peaceful Chaos: 0][]
When Peaceful Chaos heard the sound of the system alerts sounding off in his head, an empty feeling formed in the pit of his stomach. Since it was just their stats that were limited, he was able to follow all of Izroth's movements without a problem. However, with his base agility set to 100 points, he could not react to that last strike.
"How is this possible? Without items or at least an S-rank movement skill, how can he still move so fast? Plus, that attack just now-it felt like it went right through me. Is that really the power of a skill below S-rank? Am I going to lose this helplessly in front of my own guild members?" Peaceful Chaos thought to himself as he tried to maintain his composure.
"No, he just caught me off guard with his speed. That attack must have a pretty high cooldown if it's capable of doing that kind of damage with stats this limited. I won't fall for the same trick twice. This time-I'll go all out from the start." Peaceful Chaos convinced himself as he looked at Izroth with a cold gaze.
Izroth had already returned to his previous position and calmly awaited the countdown for the next round's start.
'In terms of attack power, when it strikes a vital point, the seventh sword form is comparable to an S- ranked attack skill. Still, to think he would succumb to such an attack. Did I overestimate him? It would seem that there is quite a considerable gap even among the core players of top guilds.'
Izroth had sparred with Niflheim on several occasions. While Niflheim had not won a single time, during their first duel, he managed to block Izroth's Seventh Sword Form: Motionless Killing Stroke while he had Flickering Steps active.
Furthermore, their stats and items were not limited during those duels. This meant that Niflheim would have been at an even greater disadvantage in terms of agility when it came to facing Izroth.
[System Alert: Warning! The second round of the duel is about to begin! A 10-second countdown has been initiated!
"I'll admit, I underestimated you. However, this time--I won't make the same mistake." Peaceful Chaos said as he locked his gaze onto Izroth.
"I will try not to be disappointed," Izroth stated in a carefree manner as he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

[System Alert: Duel has commenced!
Woosh!
Izroth kicked off his back foot. At the same time, he activated Light Feather Footwork, causing him to shoot forward at an even greater speed than the last round.
"Even if I want to stand here and daydream, so what? It's not like you can do anything about it." Peaceful Chaos scoffed.
"As long as my Protective Bulwark and Great Sage Turtle are protecting me, if it's not at least an S-ranked skill, it's impossible for him to harm me." Peaceful Chaos thought to himself.
Peaceful Chaos wanted to lure Izroth into wasting all his strong attack skills in a prideful attempt to break past his defenses.
Izroth briefly examined the barrier formed by Peaceful Chaos' Great Sage Turtle.
'I see. If it's like that, then-isn't this basically delivering one's self on a silver platter?' Izroth could not help but inwardly shake his head as he returned his sword to its sheath. Just now, he used Deep Insight to inspect the green barrier set up by Peaceful Chaos. Since Unique* skills greatly varied in power within RML, the system did not consider it to be above A-rank. As a result, Izroth was still capable of using Deep Insight.
Peaceful Chaos frowned as he witnessed Izroth's actions. Could it be that he figured out what
he had planned?
"What's the matter? Giving up already? I guess first place on the event leaderboards is all just
for show." Peaceful Chaos taunted.
Without warning, Izroth casually tapped his foot on the ground, executing Behemoth's Quake, as strong tremors echoed out from his location every second.

When the first tremor reached Peaceful Chaos, and he watched a chunk of his HP be shaved away, he was surprised. But, after the second tremor hit him, a sudden realization sunk in as a look of despair filled his eyes. Since he was unable to take action, naturally, that also meant deactivating the skill. Therefore, all Peaceful Chaos could see was stand there helplessly and watch as his HP fell before his eyes.
