Chapter 91: Radrata Cosmos' Combat Lords (2/2)
'I can even change my race and adjust everything, eh? Alright, let's start.'
Aleron didn't change much regarding his appearance except that he made his hair black.
Once he finished creating his character design and put his in-game name-Ruinex, Aleron pressed the start button.
[Please choose a Combat Hub of your liking and begin your combat evaluation at Combat Lord Center.]
Aleron suddenly saw 1000 screens lighting up before him, each one displaying a giant floating continent with various styles and aesthetic designs.
But each of them had one building that was the same in every combat hub-the Combat Lord Center. It was also the biggest building in each hub.
'Meh, any is fine,' Aleron chose a random Combat Hub called Zion's Shade and suddenly felt the scenery around him changing as he arrived at a huge plaza with hundreds of people moving around.
"It's as real as reality gets," Aleron muttered as he could feel air, atmosphere, and even sense micro energies in the atmosphere when using soul sense.
Without further ado, he looked at the huge Combat Lord center's gate a kilometer away and used Magilore to teleport there directly.
'Nice, I can use my magic without any restriction.'
Aleron didn't know he was going to be a menace for all with his increasing passion for fighting, learning, and getting more powerful.
Since he had decided to carve a path he envisioned, the priority of getting more powerful had reached the top, replacing his priority of enjoying his life. He was going to do both, but for him to enjoy his life and make his ideals a reality around him, he must get more powerful!
More powerful than anybody!
Aleron walked inside the Combat Lord center, followed the signs, and soon arrived at one of the many reception desks.
"Hi, I want to do a Combat Power assessment," Aleron said with a smile.
"New?" the fox girl behind the reception desk asked as her ears twitched and she curiously looked at Aleron.
"Yes, miss," Aleron nodded with a grin. 'Is she real or NPC?'
"Alright, put your hand on this. I'll make your Combat Card. After that, you can go to the assessment room."
Aleron nodded and put his hand on a digital pad that appeared on the girl's hand.
In the next second, a card popped up above his hand that contained his character profile. "Here, now go to the assessment area and enter any unoccupied door."
'Door?' Aleron took the card and immediately a notification rang as a mailbox icon in the game's interface in his head.
While walking towards the assessment area to the left, he opened the mailbox.
[Please finish your combat power assessment to register your combat power on your combat card.]
The message vanished while other function tabs appeared on the interface.
[Leaderboards]
[Combat Arena (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5)]
[Treasure Hunting]
*Screeeeee!!*
Aleron simply teleported above them while cooking the skill.
Several vultures immediately vanished from their spots as they speedily flew towards Aleron to attack with different close-range skills, some of their claws glowing, and some had their wings sharpened and powered while their sharp eyes whirling with power.
'Let's call this clown-crack bomb,' Aleron grinned while all those attacks rained on him. No, rained on his plain-looking blue barrier and rendered all the attacks useless. His attention is entirely on his Magic Board.
In the next second, Aleron spent 1000 million Magilore energy as 100 clown-heads with their red hat's tip burning in crackling blue-orange flame appeared, each monster got 1 clown- head right under their belly.
Those clown-heads with glowing eyes and looking devilishly smiling were indeed the bombs
he designed.
In the next moment, each one of them exploded simultaneously and painted the sky with
colorful firecracker designs.
[Wave cleared.]
[Monster Wave 151]
However, he suddenly heard Gachapi's voice, which was silent all the while as it was making
Xorg Serums.
[Gachapi: Master, Rias is nudging you. It's time to go.]
'Alright. This is it for now then.'
"Hey, I want to finish the assessment."
Aleron spoke and he immediately got a prompt, asking him if he wanted to finish his
assessment early.
'Yes.'
He exited and logged out before opening his eyes in the VIP booth.
However...Aleron didn't know that shortly after he left, a wave of uproar spread across Zion's
Shade hub.
[Congreatulations to the Combat Lord Ruinex for achieving 84th rank in the Zion's Shade
Hub.]
Zion's Shade hub was currently ranked 15th in the Combat Hub Leaderboard, which was decided based on the total combat power of Combat Lords registered to Zion's Shade hub. The top 100 rankings in each hub were quite hard to break. All of them were equivalent to peak Primeval-rank powerhouses in terms of stats, and they possessed an exceptional set of skills
and talents.
Being at 15th rank out of 1000 hubs, it was a den of powerhouses, with its Hub combat lord ranking remaining unchanged for years.
And now, someone entered this leaderboard, someone not of their cosmos.
But this was just the beginning of a legend whose name would be on every tongue of this cosmos in the future, establishing a title no other had taken before-Combat Overlord.
