1831 Chapter 1831. Two-on-two Bout

John called a soldier over. He gave the soldier his chalk and asked the soldier to draw the arena. He wasn't going to go around and do it himself.

After the arena was drawn, Badass, Nameless, David, and Freddie entered the marked area.

"So, which one will you take?" Freddie asked David.

"I will go for the loudmouth," David said, referring to Badass.

"All right," Freddie said.

"Did they think of taking us one-on-one instead of cooperating? What kind of newbies are they?" Badass mocked.

"We will show them how to cooperate," Nameless said. "They are a ranged attacker and a healer. I can't see how they expect to win this. I will keep them busy. You just throw your offensive spells to finish them fast."

"Exactly my plan. Let's do this!" Badass exclaimed.

"No tools and no potions, okay. Is everyone ready?" Jack asked. He self-appointed himself to be the referee.

"Anytime," Badass uttered.

The others nodded.

Freddie deftly dodged the hammers with weird movements from his drunken fist style. His fists struck the hammers that came near him.

While Freddie took Nameless' attention, David resumed his advance toward Badass. The interruption from Nameless had delayed him enough that Badass completed his spell. A large ominous gate appeared, blocking him from reaching Badass.

"Hell Gate?" David thought, but the gate in front of him was larger than the usual Warlock's hell gate.

This was because the gate was conjured using Hell Walker's starting spell, Greater Hell Gate. Like Hell Gate, it discharged a torrent of flames as it opened. From inside the gate, two hellhounds, two winged imps, and one wingless demon came out.

Greater Hell Gate summoned random monsters of the underworld, but they were mostly low-level and low-grade monsters.

David moved to the side as he dodged the flames from the greater hell gate. While he did so, Badass completed another spell, Hell Ring. This spell created a ring of fire around him. The fire dealt fire and chaos damage to all enemies who approached. With the ring of fire, he was protected to cast his next spell.

David used Bulletstorm, hitting the hell monsters that came at him as well as Badass. The fire from the hell ring didn't block the bullets but they reduced the damage. As an experienced player, Badass' concentration was solid enough for a few hits to not bother him.

He continued casting. He was casting a big spell. Hell Walker's level 80 spell, Hell's Fire. This spell was divided into two phases. The first phase had the spell hit a large area and dealt massive fire damage. The second phase began after, where fire snakes sprout from the damaged area. These fire snakes attack all hostiles for a duration.

The casting took some time, but He didn't worry. He was protected by the hell monsters and the hell ring. As he was casting, he was amazed when he saw David fight his hell monsters at close range. The hell monsters could barely hit David while they received multiple stabs and gunshots from the gunner. This was the first time he saw a gunner fight in a melee like that.

While he was fascinated by the battle, he heard a growl from his side. He turned just in time to see a barghest lunged at him.

The barghest was David's pet. He summoned it when he was blocked by the greater hell gate. The barghest went into invisible mode once it was summoned, hence Badass wasn't aware of it. It only became visible when it barged through the ring of fire around Badass. It received damage but was not too severe due to its flame shield.

Bullet hits might not disturb Badass' concentration, but being pounced on by a savage monster was another matter. His spell formation broke after getting mauled by the Barghest several times.
