Chapter 84 - Duel Preparation

The duel offer given by Ace made the hunters shout their disapproval.

The remaining time to flip the current situation over was not over than 23 minutes, but the leader of the hunters was actually interested in playing around. Wasting the precious time of 10 minutes to hold a sudden duel.

“Boo!”

Although they were booed in displeasure, Ace’s party members, especially Dimitri were hissing at them with a deadly stare.

“Silence!” Dimitri growled in annoyance, succeeding in bringing silence to that place.

“Dimitri, calm down. Let them be. It’s no fun without the audience here.” Ace warned his partner to calm down.

The aura of the strongest party of the hunter team really felt different. With the threats that the five of them gave, the hunters decided to re-lock their mouths and surrender to those ahead of them.

Although the survivors got the benefits from the offer given by Ace, because it meant they still had a little extra time before being slaughtered by the thousands of hunters who had just arrived, Hiro as the leader of the survivor team was not quite satisfied with that.

In a short time, he tried to provide some conditions that made the duel much more challenging, and it was certain for an arrogant elite player like Ace’s party to have the prestige of turning it down.

“I will accept your challenge, only with one condition.” Hiro spoke word by word slowly. Speaking in a calm tone, showing that he didn’t feel threatened at all by the arrival of the hunters in front of him.

He stole a glance at Liberty. The girl was staring at him, but then turned away. Even if it was just a glance, her face seemed to have turned pinkish.

“Say it.” Ace lifted his chin a little higher. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He had ocean blue eyes that were exactly the same as Liberty. After all, they were indeed siblings.

“What if we bet the three of you and the three of us fight in a one-on-one battle as the team representatives? If the hunter team gets two wins, we will all surrender. You are free to eliminate us. However, if it is the opposite…”

As if Ace had already guessed where the conversation would continue, he cut Hiro’s words with a sentence that had appeared in his head,

“We let the survivors win this game.”

.

.

“Wait–What?!”

“No way!”

“No, I would never bet my victory on anyone.”

“Seriously? What kind of bet is that?”

Instantly, they were back in a commotion. The hunters shouted to Ace, very loud and noisy.

However, this was not a democracy. And Hiro managed to get Ace interested in the bet he proposed.

Actually, he didn’t have high expectations for the duel. However, even if they don’t agree on the conditions, that must be foolproof for those who were arrogant. At least Hiro and the other survivors were ready to fight right now.

Though, Hiro has predicted that the percentage of survivors to win against hunters was currently no more than 45%.

“Okay. Deal!” Ace ignored all the mess he created, he didn’t even care if someone jumped from his back to attack him right now. After all, he felt that he himself and his CBT party would be enough to slaughter the survivors.

At that moment, the hunters immediately became mad and cursed Ace and his companion. Even so, none of them was brave enough to challenge them.

“Silence!” Dimitri’s glare made them stop again.

A smirk spread across Hiro’s face after hearing Ace had agreed to his condition and everything got back to normal.

Just as he had expected, the elites who were arrogant and extremely confident in their abilities would never turn down an offer like that.

But now, the problem was.

Who would fight the three of them?

“This duel, we hunters, will gain absolute victory. 3-0!” Niklaus, a Knight who stood beside Ace was the one who spoke.

“Yeah!”

“Teach them a lesson!”

“Make them suffer!”

The hunters shouted loudly. They pointed their weapons in the air to cheer for the three people who would fight as their representative in a duel. Their minds have changed very fast.

Ace took a step forward, followed by Dimitri and Alaric by his side.

“Gentlemen?”

Hiro glanced at Liberty as if that way could give him an idea of ??choosing three survivors to fight the three of them.

He really couldn’t choose recklessly.

He glanced at his left, to where the members of the Immortal Knights were.

‘Should I tell them to step in?’

He believed the immortal knights were very strong, but Hiro had hardly heard of their record of fighting in one-on-one duels.

They were very strong when fighting in parties, but not individually because their excellent and coordinated teamwork skills could only be applied when they fought together. Even so, one of them, the rogue, had some pretty reliable solo player vs player achievements.

And with that knowledge base, Hiro decided to involve the rogue, The Ninja.

Even though next to Hiro, Cara was already more than ready to fight, Hiro felt that the experience was much more important here. Besides, the armor and weapons of the rogue from the immortal knights were very advantageous for the duel right now.

“Dave, can you come forward to defeat Dimitri?” Hiro knew job class rogues were the most reliable in a duel battle like this, thus to stop them, at least one of the same job class with greater strength is needed.

Dave, The Ninja, walked forward to separate himself from the line and waited. This man was very quiet.

Hiro continued to choose one player to defeat the mage, Alaric.

At this point, it was very difficult to analyze a mage’s strength because they had various skills based on elements.

But before Hiro decided on a thing, Noah suggested himself.

“I will fight the mage, and show how terrible my power is to that haughty rogue.”

His body trembled with emotion and resentment. Hiro arched an eyebrow, not immediately responding.

He really didn’t know much about the magic power that Noah had mastered until now. Although he knew Noah could fight well enough and was reliable enough to be a representative.

On top of that, his arrogant and aloof nature had made him always struggle alone as a solo player. So, Hiro also believed that giving Noah a chance to fight and showing his strength was the right thing.

“I’ll kill you if you lose,” Hiro agreed.

Noah nodded then stepped forward. His eyes looked straight at Alaric, who had a disdainful smile on his face, as if he was saying to himself, ‘Seriously? My opponent is just a lil brat like this?’

Last but not least, it was Hiro who walked forward to duel against their leader, Ace.

But at that time, suddenly a woman from the survivor line shouted in a loud voice,

“Let Dominic fight their leader!!”

Her words managed to stop Hiro’s footsteps.

“Yes! Let Dominic fight!”

“I support Dominic!”

“Go Dominic!”

“Take his place!”
