Chapter 50: I'll Wait and Wait

He stifled a nervous laugh, "You caught me off guard. I must applaud you for that, peasant." He pushed back his blonde hair and straightened his clothes before equipping his armour.

"Your most powerful ability must be running your mouth." Kiro said coolly.

The crowd gathered laughed at this. This agitated Isaac by a huge amount. He couldn't stand being embarrassed by someone he deemed inferior, which was really everyone since he saw himself as royalty.

He cast an ice spell, chunks of ice fell out of the sky. Kiro relaxed, and then started smashing them with Ryu. As it turns out there were way too many for one person, so he activated Whirlwind, and then Vibrations.

Isaac was stunned in place. Unable to move and losing a ton of his HP. When every ice block was smashed into pieces and blown away, Kiro slowly approached Isaac. Since Isaac couldn't move he had an expression of fear in his eyes.

'Good, be scared. You're nothing but a lamb to me.'

As though he timed it, he reached Isaac just when Vibrations' effects were wearing off. He activated Bending Kick and landed it right on his neck which made a loud crack noise. Once again, he pixelated.

The crowd went wild! They had been recording the whole thing. When they saw that Kiro had no intentions of leaving, they got more and more excited. This was entertaining to them, they started liking this game a bit more.

"Just who is that kid? He's too strong!"

"What is he anyway? I've never seen a race like his."

"Looks similar to a Dreki but also different?"

"Oh, what's his class. I wish I'd have picked it."

"Sagehood class, it's not as easy as he makes it. Probably worked hard to have those moves."

Everybody turned to look at the speaker, he was also a sage. Though he didn't look as majestic, he looked ragged and dirt poor, which caused for people to ignore him.

"How can two people of the same race and class, be so different?"

"Haha. Its not even just difference in strength, its also a big difference in looks."

Isaac was sure a stubborn cow, because he logged in again.

Coldly, Kiro muttered, "Ryu, come!" Again the staff flew through Isaac's body, through his heart and into its owners hand.

He died once again. The crowd was dumbfounded at this point, they didn't understand why Isaac was so adamant on being massacred.

What made Kiro infuriated was the fact that he attempted to drag his family into this. It was just a game, but he was willing to go so far? He'd never let anything slide, when it came to his family.

But, 10, then 15, then 20 minutes passed and Isaac was nowhere to be found. Kiro smirked in satisfaction, he had hoped that he imparted the same level of trauma on Isaac as he did to him in the past.

He had an inkling that this wouldn't be the end of it. Isaac had a superiority complex, he wouldn't just let this shame go. Kiro didn't care one bit though, he accepted the unofficial challenge.

The crowd cheered loudly at the spectacle their eyes had just feasted on. They had somehow caught the names of the duellers. Now they understood that this was the Kiro who made world announcements while everyone was still at beginner's village. The videos of the massacre were posted online.

"Oh my god! That was the most insane and brutal fights I've ever seen."

"Better than any film fights I've ever seen."

"Aren't you guys exaggerating a bit?"

"Yeah, this wasn't a fight, it was a one-sided massacre."

"So what? That Isaac fella was too arrogant, going against a mountain when he's an ant."

Hiro was ecstatic. Yes he'd been in fights alongside his friend, but it was the first time watching as a third party. He commanded how brutal he was. Remembering how Isaac attacked them back then, he was satisfied with the beating he received.

Kiro looked at him, and saw the satisfied look on his face, "you can't be satisfied with just this, we must absolutely destroy that kid."

He smiled sheepishly, "yes, yes."

Kiro smiled and nodded to Hiro for them to leave. On their way to the mines, Nikolai called.
