Chapter 39

Rasen Lolrena vs Flame Tail

Catie’s part ( lvl 8 Inventorial s )

The VIP room was really good! It had really nice food and a bath. It had comfy beds too. Flame and Rasen must have been used to this kind of treatment because I was the only one excited about it. There even was a training room at the corner. While I was being awed by all of these. Rasen asked me, “Me and Flame are going to have a practice battle at the training lounge for VIP. Do you want to see it?”

“YES!” I shouted with excitement.

“Alright we will have a practice battle exactly 1 hour later. Take a bath first. You must be tired.”

He was right, I was tired. So I went to the bathroom and jumped in the bathtub.

Almost an hour later, I finished bathing and changed into new clothes. Then I decided to go to the lounge a little early. Step by step, my excitement increased. ‘A celebrity and a historical figure is going to have a battle in front of me.’ I thought as I entered the lounge. There were a lot of other VIPs who probably wanted to see the battle too. There was Rasen on one side, and Flame on the other.

5 minutes later, the battle started. Both of them slowly walked to the middle. “Flame charge,” as soon as Flame said this, the sword ignited into a flame. Not a red one, but a blue one. ‘Must be a Fire Sigil Ultraclass passive’ I thought to myself. On the other hand, Rasen’s sword started sparking. He must have used a ‘Lightning Charge’.

Ace’s Notes

Wait wait wait… before you see the battle of the two sigils, let me explain some of the things. First, Rasen ( lvl 155 Sigil Knight Commander U ) vs Flame ( lvl 113 Fire specialized Sigil Knight U ) is a 50% practice battle. Which means one whose hp goes under 50% will lose. Also, the usage of execution skills are forbidden. I’ll explain the skills you will see real quick. Every skill has cooltime, and it might or might not use mana or chi.

Catie’s part ( lvl 8 Inventorial s )

A few seconds passed without anything happening. Both of them were staring at each other.

“Sigil Dash,” Rasen suddenly shouted and moved right in front of Flame with astonishing speed. Then he used ‘Charged Blow’, which made him dash at Flame very quickly. “Disarming Strike,” with this she disarmed Rasen and knocked him back, however it didn’t stop the charged blow from damaging and stunning her. Rasen tried to pick his sword up from the ground, but Flame closed the distance quickly and slashed at him twice before he managed to pick his sword up. Rasen then rolled backward to put out the blue flame in which his body was ignited with. Flame took this chance to use a special basic attack, however Rasen dodged it.

“Flaming blow 1” Flame shouted as her sword’s tip spewed huge flames at Rasen. “Anti-Abnormal Status” Rasen shouted. “Bruh, that is cheating!!!” Flame shouted with dismay. “You never said I can’t use this.” Rasen countered. “Alright fine, it only lasts 15 seconds so whatever.” “Mmm… actually my ‘Anti-Abnormal Status' is level 30, so it lasts 25 seconds.” “That’s too overpowered…” Then Rasen started his attack. “Hyperbody!” “Enlightened Footstep” “Swift strike.” With hyperbody, he started to glow, and became faster. Enlightened Footstep made him even faster, and with swift strike he leaped at Flame. Flame barely dodged the attack, however Rasen used ‘Flip Strike’ and landed a hit. “Flametail!” Flame shouted and her tail ignited in a blue flame. Then she wrapped it around Rasen and held him above in the air. “Sigil’s Release” with this, he suddenly got out of the grip and attacked Flame. Flame blocked his attack. “Pommel Strike” with this, he broke her block. “Wind Charge” “Full Combo”, Rasen said and he attacked 5 times at a rapid pace. After the last hit, Flame was stuck on a small tornado. Rasen then full-comboed her once again, before she was released. “The rule said one who goes below 50% hp line loses, I’m 68% right now.” She said with a sigh. “I am still at 88%” Rasen replied with a grin. “Flaming strike” she slashed but it missed the target. Rasen didn’t let this chance go, he used a special basic attack which knocked Flame back. “Flaming blow 3” Flame shouted, and the ground under the Rasen suddenly spewed out an enormous flame. Rasen’s ‘Anti-Abnormal Status’ was on cooltime, so he flung to the other side of the room while burning in a blue flame. “Ow!” he shouted, obviously Flame didn’t miss this chance to put in additional damage. She leaped at Rasen with her sword’s tip aimed at his head. “Fiery Death Strike”, she landed on the ground while holding her sword which pierced through Rasen’s head.

Flame kept attacking, she managed to land a couple more hits before Rasen recovered his fighting position. “Ain’t 50 yet?” she said with a smirk. “Still 70%” Then he added. “Don’t worry Flame, I’ll end this quickly.” “Ice Charge” “Sigil Dash” “Quick Dash”. Suddenly Rasen was diagonally behind the Flame. “Charged Blow!” he shouted and a giant ice appeared right in front of him. Flame got stuck on it. “Oh shit, I hate ice,” she said. “Well too bad, Ground Pound” The ground near Rasen started to shake a bit. It must have dealt a decent damage to somebody stuck inside the ice because Flame seemed unhappy about the usage of that skill. Soon, the ice melted, as the Flame ignited herself with ‘self ignite’. Then she dashed at Rasen and used a special basic attack, which Rasen dodged. Then, Rasen attacked Flame, but Flame used ‘counter’.

It went like this for the next 10 minutes. Until Flame suddenly said, “Ye, you win, my hp is at 50% now. What’s your at?” Rasen replied “Mine’s at 65%, you are pretty good at 1v1, Flame.” “Ye, 1v1 is my specialty. I thought I had a chance.” “1v1 is also my specialty, too. Even though my class (Sigil Knight Commander) isn't built for 1v1, a lot of the skills and items I use are for 1v1.” Rasen replied with a grin. After this, those two had something like a fan meeting or signing of some sort. They told me to stand in between them. I did, but it sort of made me embarrassed. Anyways, after that, we went to our VIP room. They took a shower and we slept, because tomorrow we were going to have an epic adventure. Or so we have thought.

Back to present

Rasen’s part (lvl 155 Sigil Knight Commander U)

Mmm… So this person is an Ascended Demon. He says he will get us to Liria with the Portal magic for some money. “Well, how can we trust you?” I ask. He answers with “Well, I am going to go into the portal, too. You don’t want to go through the dangerous tundra with a young one do you?”

“Well, I can carry her there.”

“You can, but why not just buy this portal magic service with only 200 silver. I am going to Liria Anyways.”

“Flame, what do you think? Do you think it’s worth it?” I ask her.

“Yes, sure why not, I hate tundra.” She replies like she had taken care of a worry that was bothering her for ages.

“How about you Catie?”

“I think it’s a good idea, too.” She answers with relief.”

“Aight then, take us to Liria.”
