《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 25: A Challenge
Advertisement
Anyone was able to watch another person game as long as they knew their ID. The only exception to this is if you had your settings changed to block this. The systems default setting allowed anyone to watch other games. Without Arthur and Novis's knowledge, they currently had four people watching their next match.
They had seen what Arthur had done and wanted to know if he was truly a pro. If this turned out true it would be a great experience for them to watch how one plays first hand.
If you watched someone using the VR headset you were free to roam around the map like a ghost and see more detail. Compared to watching the game at a computer screen you would be forced to view it at almost a top-down view where you didn't really get to see or learn much.
Arthur went into his next four games dominating each match. Although not as impressive as the first game every opponent he went against he skillfully dealt with them. After every game more and more people where interested inn who the ID Pendragon belonged to.
From each game, a couple more spectators would join in on watching Arthurs next match. For spectators, the game created a lobby so people were free to chat about, and currently, everyone watching was talking about Pendragon.
"This person has to be a pro."
"How is he so skilful with Dragonslayer, is there a pro that uses Dragonslayer?"
"Come on, he's not that good he's probably diamond at best, he just hasn't faced anyone strong enough yet."
"Well, I hope we can see him face someone strong then."
In the next match though the audiences wishes would come true.
Arthur was currently on his 8th placement game having won every game so far. The system was designed to match you with harder opponents as you kept winning your placement games.

Arthur selected his character and went to the middle lane as usual. The middle lane was usually left for one person and as long as he went first many people didn't care. In his last few games, he had also played top and bottom but people just complained saying why didn't he pick another character to support them. So Arthur had decided that he would pick the middle lain most of the time when he played.
When Arthur arrived at the centre of the map he could see a spear type warrior. The speer type warrior was named Xin Mao who was an ancient Chinese warrior who used a spear. The warrior was dressed in black and gold armour and was currently waiting by his tower.
Arthur went forward to deal with the blue team's knights. He had adopted this strategy because he wanted his games to finish as soon as possible. As soon as he was done with these placement games he knew he could improve his rank and face stronger opponents.
As Arthur went to strike the blue knight closest to him, his blade was deflected away. When Arthur looked up, Xin Mao had closed the distance between them and used his spear to knock the sword away.
Xin Mao didn't stop there, he then began to release a flurry of attacks. Arthur managed to deflect them all away but got a few scrapes here and there. The audience who was watching found it too fast too keep up.
Arthur then eventually backed up to his tower.
"What's wrong?" Novis asked
"This man is strong."
"Do you think he's one of those smurfs that my brother talked about?"
"Most likely, this match won't be an easy one," Arthur said while smiling.
The two of them met in the centre again. Xin Mao would use his spear to keep the distance between them not allowing Arthur to get closer. Every time Arthur tried to move in to strike, Xin Mao would use his spear to block his way.

The people who were watching the match noticed something about the Xin Mao player.
"Hey, I think I recognise that ID."
"Yeah I do too, I watch him online all the time it's the pro Xin Mao player, Hastam Grey"
"isn't his Id xHastamx"
"Yeah but this is his smurf, he's famous online because he uses this account a lot to show new players how to rank up."
"looks like we'll find out if Pendragon is a pro after all."
The ID Hastam was currently using was called RealHastam, as people had thought, this was the pro player Hastam and right now he was currently live streaming the match to thousands of people online.
Everyone currently watching the fight thought Arthur was in a pinch, all he could do so far was avoid the spear strikes without closing the distance between the two. They had currently been fighting back on fourth for fifteen minutes now and Arthur had finally found a way to win.
As Arthur was avoiding Hastam attacks he was slowly moving towards the knights down the middle lane. Hastam was so focused on killing Arthur in front of him, he didn't realise what Arthur was trying to do.
Then when Hastem went to stab Arthur, Arthur moved to the side causing the spear to hit one of his red knights. There was a slight delay between the time when the knights would burst into particles. Arthur used this to his advantage stepping on the tip of the spear and stomping it to the ground.
Arthur then quickly ran on top of the spear slicing the mans head clean off. Hastam then bust into blue particles.
<Red Team lost>
"What!" Arthur thought to himself.
Everyone who was watching was just as confused as Arthur. When Arthur turned around he realised that the blue team's teammates had captured his castles flag causing his team to lose.
"I guess there is still a lot for me to learn," Arthur said to himself.
The audience was currently silenced. Even though the red team had lost, they were more focused on the fight between Arthur and Hastem. They couldn't believe a famous pro had lost a one on one duel like that.
*****
Hastem had quit out of the game and left his VR headset. He then went and ended the stream abruptly. He was currently in his room lying on his bed.
"What's wrong why are you so angry?" Hastem said.
"I can't believe he would use his own men like that."
"It's only a game, they're not real," Hastem replied.
If someone was to walk in on Hastem now, they would think he was mad. No one was currently in his room, apart from him. But in Hastem's eyes, he could see a floating ghost-like figure next to him. The figure looked almost identical to the spear user Xin mao he was using in the game.
"Look's like things are starting to get interesting." Hastam smiled.
