The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 83: Me in the Duels (2)

After I heard my name, I got up from my seat and proceeded to Area 1, where I had to battle Dorian. I arrived first at the arena.

Dorian arrived at the arena, giving me a look of disgust. He looked pretty angry at me.

I kind of slapped him once or twice before but that was because of his own fault. If he followed the rules, it wouldn't have happened at all. Normally, such stupidity would only end in the death of the perpetrator. He was lucky that the punishment ended with slaps.

There are some nobles who kind of got the entire families killed because one of the family members did something against them.

Don't these idiots understand that this world is not ruled by democracy, but rather by strength? The one with strength is the only one who can speak. What he said would be the rules.

He should be happy that I ended that by slapping him and didn't incriminate his family in that.

Rather than thanking me for it, he even made a play against me. Wait, why did he make a play against me and stop after that?

If he has learned that he can't touch me, what's with the look?

He is looking at me as if I stole his girlfriend or something. Wait, he tried to make me a fool when Angela was near. Did he cast his eyes on her?

Fucking Bastard. She is mine.

Moreover, if he wants her to be his, he has to make his own efforts in wooing her, not targeting me. Since you wanted to humiliate me in front of Angela, let's make sure that you would have no face in front of her.

You thought that what I did that day was humiliation. You have no idea what humiliation truly is and I would make sure that you would experience it in full.

The referee appeared between us after we reached the arena assigned to us, "Are you ready?", he asked.

This was an official duel and the rules had to be followed. One can't start the duel when one of them isn't ready to start fighting.

"Yes", we both replied at the same time.

"Okay, 3...2...1, start", the referee said and disappeared from the battle stage. If he was a bit slower, he might get attacked. After all, in a battle, the first to strike would have an advantage as long as he can strike the opponent.

As soon as the referee gave the green signal, Dorian cast his famous skill, Divine Light.

I saw him using that before. When he casts that, his power would be doubled and at the same time the opponent's power would be halved.

This skill is especially problematic for me. He knew that my skill belonged to Shadow and his of Light, which is considered as a natural restraint to mine. He should be thinking that he could return the humiliation he experienced that day but he was so wrong.

I disappeared from one place and appeared in another place. It was noon, so I couldn't use one of my class skills but with high-level Evade and Dodge skills, in addition to good agility values that I showed, I could easily escape those attacks.

"Is that the best you can do?" I taunted him.

I could end this game within seconds but I don't want to. Though I didn't cause any problems for him, he took the initiative to cause problems for him. So I think, he needed to be taught a lesson, or else he would come at me again in the future.

If he ever gets a chance to catch me unprepared, I would end up in a loss.

So when a threat arises, the best way to deal with it is to end it. I can't casually kill him but I can make sure that he would fear me and won't think to raise arms against me. This is not an ideal solution but it's the best solution available to me now.

He was enraged as I hoped and started to charge towards me. His profession is Holy Knight, which means that he has to face me directly and can't do much from afar.

Even though I could easily tackle him at close range, it was best that others couldn't figure out what I was hiding. So a direct clash is out of consideration.

So I simply evaded him as long as I could. He could only swing his sword but couldn't land even a single strike on me. He is getting very pissed at me and at the same time, it was burning his stamina.

Unlike me, who was wearing simple clothes, he was wearing heavy armor which was suitable for Knights. It was burning a lot of his energy.

Hahaha, this was so funny to watch him struggle, but it's time to end this farce now. I think, if I overdo it, the teachers of the academy may form a negative view of me, which is not a good thing.

[Shadow Bolt]

I simply cast my first-class skills. Since it was a skill at the maximum level, I could easily control it. I made sure that he would fall after my second shadow bolt hit him.

Letting him fall in two shots would make him sure not to play any more tricks on me again in this life.

Dorian fell after the two Shadow Bolts hit him. I made sure they hit the body parts that weren't protected. Though I can't kill him, those bolts caused a lot of damage and he fainted due to the pain.

"Magnus Frostwolf wins", the referee announced ending the match and the medics carried away the injured Dorian.

Seriously, this is all that he was. Come on, with the help of the system, I thought that he could have progressed a lot but I was wrong. He was such a disappointment.

I wonder what made the system choose him.

Was he an easy mark?

If that is so, the system may not have good ideas about Dorian. This is going to be a hassle. Though I don't care about what happens to him, I can't leave that system. I have no idea what it plans are. I should find a way to get rid of it.
