Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

"Hundred-arm Barrage!!"

Farhann's partly desperate voice echoed across the training hall as 98 indigo arms the size of a human spread out neatly in a circle behind him.

Simultaneously, an enormous magic circle appeared in front of Farhann, prompting Shye's brows to slightly furrow, however, the confident smile on his face remained steadfast.

He would try to fight it head-on but if his skills would prove inferior, he could just dodge around like a nimble rat.

At worst, he would have to unveil that he was a warrior as well.

Shye hoped it wouldn't get to that point though as it would be unwise to reveal all of his trump cards for a mere 35,000 silver coin duel.

Right as Shye's spell, the rock bullets, were on the brink of striking Farhann's slender frame, a fierce onslaught of fifty mana arrows per second burst forth from the colossal magic circle, ruthlessly piercing through the air and trailing purple lightning in its wake.

At the same time, the 98 indigo arms copied Farhann's motion of holding the bow and pulling on the bowstrings, making Farhann appear as though he was some sort of archery deity.

Unfortunately for him, even if his mana arrows fired at a rate of 100 arrows per second, Shye wouldn't back down from such regular-looking arrows.

It was obvious that Farhann's skill relied on quantity, not quality unlike Kiin's ultimate skill, hence, Shye didn't feel threatened even though the skill appeared overwhelming.

In his eyes, Farhann was nothing but a fraud!

Expose them, of course!

Aiming both elemental staffs towards his opponent who was also channeling a so-called "trump card", Shye inwardly exclaimed:

'Fire Bomb Assault!'

Frozen Thorn Barrage!'

Shortly after, chaos ensued as medium-sized flaming orbs and glacial thorns materialized in front of Shye's staff, firing at a rate of three to four projectiles per second.

The fire bombs increased the surrounding air temperature, while the frozen thorns had the opposite effect, causing nearby projectiles to generate white mist as they interacted.

Menacing as his counterattack might look, it was overshadowed by Farhann's ultimate skill—well, in terms of appearance at least.

Offensive capabilities? That's a completely different matter.

As soon as Farhann's mana arrows and Shye's projectiles of fire and ice clashed, one side ruthlessly demolished the other.

Although numerous, the mana arrows lacked power, hence, they were easily blown away by the exploding balls of fire and the lethal yet sturdy frozen thorns.

Witnessing how his skill was overpowered by Shye's, Farhann's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Normally, his opponents would swiftly try to escape, and since they were fighting inside a bluish-transparent dome created by Vera, Farhann was confident of his abilities to corner his foe.

However, instead of fleeing, his opponent opted to instead fight his trump card head-on, instantly exposing the weakness of his trump card in front of everyone.

Naturally, since the exploding flame orbs and sharp frozen shards were fast approaching, Farhann had no choice but to cancel the skill of his own volition as no matter how many mana arrows he fired, everything was easily blown away.

'How?! How is this bastard so powerful?!' Farhann cursed, desperately sprinting away from Shye's ferocious projectiles.

Unfortunately for him, a fire rate of seven projectiles per second proved too difficult to evade.

After managing to dodge for around two seconds, a frozen thorn ruthlessly pierced his ankle, causing blood to spurt out of the chilling wound and Farhann to suddenly plop on the ground.

"AAARRGHH!" Farhann howled in agony.

Soon after, he observed several more projectiles approaching, causing him to momentarily disregard the pain as he fought to evade them.

"NOOO!!"

*BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Farhann could do nothing but scream in despair as fireballs and frozen thorns devoured him.

White mist emitted from the devastation of fire and ice as the desperate screams slowly died down, sending chills down the onlookers' spines.

Naturally, Shye did his utmost to promptly deactivate his skill upon realizing that Farhann was already caught.

However, being only human, he could only cease his attack so swiftly.

[Congratulations! You've earned 2392 points!]

Shye was elated that his plan of repeatedly extracting points worked, but Farhann's unknown fate dampened his mood.

Although the bastard was indeed annoying, he didn't want to kill people willy-nilly even if there wouldn't be any repercussions for him.

He could only hope that Farhann had a sliver of life force left in him.

Emerald-ranked Vera didn't hesitate and swiftly deactivated her bluish-transparent barrier, not noticing the severe cracks it suffered from Shye's ferocious projectile barrage.

The clear bluish dome wasn't any random barrier in her arsenal and was in fact, one of her three best self-preservation skills.

Had she noticed the massive damage it suffered, she would have looked at Shye in a new light—not as a rookie, but probably as an equal.

Farhann's current situation demanded Vera's immediate attention so her not detecting the anomaly in her barrier was understandable.

Moreover, it was better for Shye this way.

Braving the white mist, Vera looked for Farhann's body, quickly casting three healing spells after locating him: [High Heal Lv.4], [Natural Recovery Lv.4], and [Restore Lv.4].

She went a bit over the top to ensure Farhann's safety.

"He's unharmed. Excellent restraint, Crowley," Vera calmly declared, offering a slight bow to Shye as she acknowledged his assistance in easing her task.

Guild Master Corvus told her to keep everyone safe during the rookie duel. If anyone got hurt while she was watching, the guild master might reprimand her.

Luckily, the so-called notorious and arrogant rookie turned out to be a rather…nice guy.

Hearing that Farhann was fine, Shye breathed a sigh of relief before walking towards the overly enthusiastic guildsman named Bravo.

He then claimed his winnings before sauntering towards the stairs, ascending as he counted his winnings with a smile.

"Ha! HAHAHAHAHA! Didn't I tell all of you? My boss is invincible! NYAHAHAHA! Where are the haters?!

I can't hear you!"
