Chapter 61: Aura of a Rank 5 Elite?
Chapter 61: Aura of a Rank 5 Elite?
Marcus arrived on the 3rd floor. He stepped out of the elevator and immediately saw two rectangular rings lined up. They had an area of around 1500 square meters, Bigger than the ones on the lower floors. There were also a few VIP boxes placed on the sides above the seats.
There was a fight going on in one of the rings, it was the ring on the left side. Marcus walked towards a nearby seat and watched. He also looked at the nearby people. There were only a few left, and they were also focused on the fight.
For Marcus though, it looked pretty dull. Nonetheless, he just kept watching since it looked like everyone had their focus on it.
If he asked to challenge someone now, he might be brushed off, so he just waited.
The fight only lasted for a couple of minutes before a winner was decided. The people around him began chattering.
Marcus stood up, walked towards the ring on the right, and stood there.
The few people around looked at him. From what they could see, he looked pretty young.
One of them asked, "Fight?"
Marcus looked at the man who seemed to be around 21 years old.
"What's your rank?" The man stood up.
"I just joined," Marcus announced.
A lot of people laughed. They could already guess that he should still be at the early Elite stage.
The man chuckled, "Are you trying to waste my time? Go home kid. It's pretty late."
"I'll give you this if you win." Marcus got a few hundred bucks from his spatial ring.
The man grinned from ear to ear seeing the money. "Alright, I'll play with you."
The surrounding people were a bit envious. They missed the chance of what seemed like, free money.
Not all of them though. A few thought that maybe the kid has something up his sleeves.
In Brawlrena, a person who had a lower rank in the leaderboards can challenge anyone who's higher than him.
If the distance of their ranking is too far, the person with a higher leaderboard ranking can decline, example if one person is ranked 10 and the one who challenges him is ranked 100, then the one who is ranked 10 may decline.
But if a person is rank 10 and the one who challenges him is around rank 20 or 21, then a valid excuse must be presented before the person can decline the challenge or else the ranks will be switched.
A way of fighting someone whose rank is way higher than yours is through bribing. Making your way up through the ladder step by step is pretty damn tiring.
The man walked towards the ring. He had short dark blond hair and brown eyes. He looked to be around 20 and is pretty tall about 5'10 feet.
"There's no more turning back. If you lose, you have to hand over that money." The man said.
"I keep my words." Marcus readied himself.
As the man stepped in, the barrier activated. The ring was now surrounded by what looked like a clear bubble.
Marcus looked at his opponent. He already knew what this man's rank was.
The man raised his arms to the side "Pleasantries first, my name is Ned."
He then began floating in the air. It wasn't so high up, only around 3 meters.
"I'm Marcus." Marcus flatly said.
The people were intently watching and listening. There were no other fights that are happening so all the attention was on Marcus's bout.
"You know, I could probably defeat you in one minute. Hell, I think one minute would already feel like forever when taking you down." The man's voice was loud. His green robes fluttered in the air.
Marcus shook his head "I pity the girl you end up with if you think one minute is forever."
The people around started laughing. The ones taking videos had to pause it for they were currently shaking.
They wanted to release the video on the internet and show how a kid got beaten up by being too cocky, but now it looks like they found better content.
"You!" Ned pointed at Marcus. There were women in the small crowds. He wanted to look manly, but instead, he was humiliated.
"Just start and stop talking." Marcus's eyes glowed vermillion. He didn't activate the Stone of Destruction nor did he use any chaos magic.
"You're gonna have to pay for embarrassing me!" Ned yelled as he casted wind blades and threw them towards Marcus. He chained it with 'Twister'. Gusts of wind started blowing and headed towards Marcus.
The wind blades arrived first, to which Marcus dodged. The Twister was speeding in fast but it was not enough to even come close to Marcus as he zipped away with 'Lightning Form'.
Ned wasn't finished though. He kept throwing wind blades but now he chained it with a fireball.
"Is that all you got? What happened to 'making me pay'?" Marcus mocked. None of them even came close to hitting Marcus.
Ned was only a rank 4 Elite, not even strong enough for Marcus to take seriously.
The crowd was bewildered. Marcus looked like he was playing with his food. He didn't even attack yet.
In the crowd, one asked, "Does anyone know who that person is?"
Another answered "I have no idea, I have never seen him in my life."
A woman chimed in "I think that a person with that kind of hair color and eyes would be easily recognizable by any of us if we've seen him before, so maybe he's from a different planet."
The first person who spoke nodded, "That could be possible. He might be a high school student who transferred here in Estra."
"High school? Don't you mean college?" The woman also thought that he might be a transfer student.
The first person thought for a while and then nodded his head "Hmm he looks pretty young. Heh, we'll know when the class opens tomorrow. We can just send our friends a message to keep a lookout for someone who looks like him in our school."
The others nodded.
"He must be one hell of a genius. Look! He's releasing an aura of a rank 5 Elite!" One of them shouted.
The crowd turned their focus back on the fight.
Ned casted Twister together with Flamethrower. It's not that strong since his cultivation is low but there were still 2 flaming tornadoes on the ring that functioned as a homing missile. It followed wherever Marcus zipped.
The whole fight he had never attacked even once.
"Alright, you've had your fun!" Marcus shouted. The flaming tornadoes were closing in on him.
His vermillion eyes glowed. He zipped towards Ned with 'Lightning Form'. Marcus's aura of a rank 5 Elite exploded, which made Ned move backward.
His eyes went wide. He couldn't believe it.
'Wasn't he only a kid?' He wondered as a fist was currently closing in on his face.
He composed himself and casted an earth spell, 'Earth Armor' which covered his body.
Marcus scoffed. 'Learning those many kinds of magic. It would have been okay if you were in the Heavenly Realm, but here in the mortal realm? Big mistake.'
