Its difficult to adjust to this body.

Hao was a martial artist ahead of being a high ranker. In reality, he was a monster who practiced martial arts around the world to the limit. He had a transcendent body in Satisfy and the real world. Thus, he was forced to feel a lot of dissatisfaction with the newly granted body in Battlefield.

It was a rotten body equivalent to a level 10 character in Satisfy. Heavy, slow, and weak. Haos perception was already far away while his body was still in place. Hao filled that his whole body was covered with shackles. He was shocked that he wasnt even aware someone was watching him.

But.

Hao thought. This unreasonable situation, it wasnt just him. All other participants were experiencing the same thing. He wasnt the only one disadvantaged. It was an equal situation. Hao tried to identity the man in front of him.

It isnt Kraugel.

Kraugel was the strongest person that even Hao envied. It was absurd that such a person would say that they wanted to test their abilities. Hao identified the blunt weapon in the mans hands and thought of a few people.

Damian, Vantner, Toban, Bubat, Shane, Ronam...

They were the rankers who focused on blunt weapons. Among them, Damian favored the sword. But he was a paladin, so he was probably used to blunt weapons. Hao thought about it and came to a conclusion.

Damian.

Hao decided since Vantner, Toban, Bubat, Shane, and Ronam were two or three levels below him. He was sure that this was the truth.

If they saw my skills, they wouldnt dare come forward.

On the other hand, Damian was different. Damian, one of the few people who played a close match with Grid in the last National Competition, was Haos competitor.

But thats in Satisfy.

In Satisfy, Damian reigned as the pope. As the pope, his skills composition was beyond the realm of a player. Hao couldnt guarantee victory. But this was Battlefield. This was a separate world where he didnt need to be afraid of Damians fraudulent skills.

If we fight under the same conditions, I will definitely be superior.

Supak!

Hao promised and moved the spear in a straight line. It was the basic thrust of the spear. Hao had steadily trained in the sword for 20 years, but he also had considerable skill with the spear. Moreover, he had Weapons Mastery and often used the spear in Satisfy. He was able to use spear techniques with a lot of difficulty.

Then why use a basic thrust? Difficult techniques would just grab his ankles. Hao judged that it was counterproductive in his present body. It would just expose gaps. Thus, he decided to rely on the most familiar and efficient basic operations. The result?

Puok!

Haos basic thrust was very powerful. Hao guessed that his opponent was Damian. In other words, Haos spear pierced Grids chest. Grid couldnt respond to Haos spear, which moved through the shortest route. Grid recognize that Haos spear was coming almost at the same time that Haos spear reached Grids chest.

This is my chance!

Hao immediately withdrew the spear. He wanted to accumulate damage with continuous stabs. But he couldnt pull the spear back. It was because Grid moved forward the moment Hao started to retrieve the spear. The distance between Grid and Hao narrowed in an instant. It was a distance where Grids blunt weapon could be effective.

Peng!

Grid rush and the blunt weapon narrowly brushed by Haos head.

Once again, a non-threatening action wont stop the enemy from attacking.

As he listened to the ringing in his ears, Hao felt pity that he could only deal fixed damage. Normally, that attack would be enough to threaten the opponents life. But how could the opponent in front of him be so brave?

Puuok!

Hao avoided Grids attack and retreated, security a safe distance for the spear. Then he stabbed without hesitation. Grid was hit again as he rushed forward.

Peng!

Grids blunt weapon once again brushed by Haos face. This time, he twisted his body to avoid Grids attack. He turned his spear to recover. Once his waist was back in its original position, he wielded it again.

Pakak!

Haos spear struck Grids forearm! Grid accumulated 3 damage in an instant.

Vantner or Toban?

The level was lower than expected. Hao realized that his opponent wasnt Damian and the audience sighed.

-Ah... He couldnt even hit Hao once while he was hit three times.

-The result is too obvious. What is Grid thinking?

-A fool mistakenly gained courage and his illusion was dissipated.

-Thats the current Grid.

The audience clearly saw Grids talent and thought that Grid was stupid and frustrating to challenge Hao. Did Grid upset himself with unfounded self-confidence? Was he crazy or stupid? The moment everyone thought this.

Cheook!

Grid was hit in the forearm with Haos spear. Hao retreated to reclaim the spear again. Then Grid moved to the left and right in front of Hao. The movement was too ludicrous to be simple evasive action. It was like a dance. At that moment.

These movements...!

Haos eyes widened.

-Eh...?

-Isnt this vaguely familiar?

The viewers felt something strange. Then Grids blunt weapon struck once.

Peng!

The second blow.

Peeng!

The third blow.

Kwajak!

Hao allowed several blows. On the other hand, Grid avoided all of Haos stabs. It was the side to side movement of Pagmas Swordsmanship, Link, performed by a level 10 character.

Grid...!

Hao shouted in a trembling voice after finding out who he was fighting with.

Grid retorted.

"Its best with behavior the body is familiar with. Right?

Grid became familiar with Haos basic motions of stabbing and used the Pagmas Swordsmanship that he was accustomed to. Pagmas sword dance had been used repeatedly over the years and was the base of Grid. Grid reminded himself. Unlike other skills that could be activated just by crying out the skill name, this damn skill had the disadvantage of going through a process before Pagmas Swordsmanship could be used.

The experience he had in Satisfy was shown here in Battlefield. The unavoidable accumulation of experience was sublimated into a powerful weapon at this moment.

Pagmas Swordsmanship.

Grid started moving again. It was the skilled footwork that had been repeated hundreds of thousands of times. The moves he used to approach Hao werent ordinary. It was evasive and charging forward. Therefore, Hao shrank back. Haos excellent eyes grabbed his ankles at this moment.

Kill!

Peeng!

A technique that rushed towards the target while raising the killing intent. Unlike Satisfy, the damage was only 1. However, the momentum expressed was scary. Hao forgot that this was Battlefield and sensed his death. But it was only an illusion.

[You have suffered 1 damage.]

Kuk...!

He forgot to breathe as he was beaten by Grids attacks. The notification window reminded Hao of reality. He recovered his composure. But Grid already had the momentum.

Endless Pagmas Swordsmanship!

No mana consumption! No cooldown! Grid didnt rest but kept moving. He used the footwork for Link, Kill, Wave, Pinnacle, and Revolve. He started to avoid, attack, and counterattack. Finally.

Peok!

Puk!

Jjejejeok!

Grids attacks now hit once every three attempts while Haos attacks fell to one hit every three attempts. The situation of the two people was temporarily the same. The commentators and viewers couldnt close their mouths as they watched the fierce fight.

-Grid and Hao are even...

-Is this a dragon fight?

-Wow, Grid is cool. Hes the best even without items.

-Where are all the people saying that Grids skills are only because of items?

-Grid has proved it.

-How he managed to get recognized as a legend. How he became king and how he got into the Hall of Fame.

He showed his experience winning, losing, fighting strong enemies, and winning to the world as he fought Hao. He was also a high ranker!

Uraaaaaat!

Ugh...!

Peng!

Peng! Pepeng!

Was he too excited? Grid roared like a beast and kept wielding the blunt weapon. In order to make sure that Hao couldnt use the long reach of a spear, Grid got up close and used the threatening nature of the blunt weapon. Due to the thick end, it was difficult to completely avoid the blunt weapon and it boasted a relatively wide attack range.

It truly is Grid...!

Grid was already acknowledged by Hao since the 2nd National Competition. He praised Grid so much that he probably wouldve followed Grid if he hadnt met Kraugel first. But he didnt give up.

He has fully grasped the use of the blunt weapon with his natural talent.

Haos gaze temporarily moved away from Grid to behind Grid. It was the side of the cabin. Since they started fighting, Grid had been backing up towards the cabin.

I made a sufficient gap in the beginning. In the end, I will be victorious. But it is difficult to suffer from this damage.

Haos eyes were caught by the long sword dropped by the competitor he previously defeated. It was at the side of the cabin entrance. Hao decided that if he could get the sword, he would be able to fight against Grid in a melee. He believed he could overpower Grid without any more damage. He was much more accustomed to a sword than a spear in the first place. However, there was a problem.

Why do you think our positions have changed this way?

Grid was aiming for the sword from the beginning. Grid was approaching the side of the cabin because Grid guided it this way. On the other hand, Hao had only recently become obsessed with the sword. At first, he didnt even care about the sword. He was confident that he could overpower the opponent with just a spear. His brow furrowed.

Grid opened the distance from Hao and picked up the sword! He laughed at the despairing Hao and opened the scripture in his other hand.

At the same time.

Shaaaaaah-

Light covered Grids body and his health was restored. Even here, it was the power of items.
