Another World Mall-Chapter 548: Fight

The banquet was filled with a lot of exciting battles as the scions from other families, organizations, or companies ended up challenging one another.

Still, the one most anticipated was the battle between Rivain and Clovis. After all, Clovis had just piqued the interest of the Elseigarde family.

It seemed that Rivain wanted to stop him from growing even further and suppress him.

Meanwhile, they couldn’t really support Clovis, especially with that boast of his.

If he could really win against Rivain, everyone’s opinion would definitely change.

That was why this battle would be important for the stability he sought in this country. It would also be the foundation of cooperation between him and the Elseigarde family.

He couldn’t care less about another Tier 9 family, but Hana would definitely need it. That was why he had to do it.

Because everyone knew about the second session, they didn’t forget to bring their battle gear, thinking they would be challenged by others.

Clovis had changed to his usual outfit, which was practical but by no means armor made of precious metal or rare monster’s carcass.

Meanwhile, Rivain was covering his head, body, arms, and legs with armor. His weapons seemed to be gloves, which made Clovis wonder if they were strong enough to handle him or not.

Still, Rivain expressed his fighting and killing intent as he glared at him.

The arena was just a simple rectangular-shaped platform one meter above the ground.

The people could see them fighting from underneath the platform.

They never thought that the first battle would be between a Tier 5 human and someone who just became a Tier 3 human not long ago.

"Hmm…" Christina furrowed her eyebrows. "Something is wrong."

Lues glanced at his daughter. "Did you find anything?"

"Yes. I just don’t know why Clovis doesn’t wear armor. I know that it’s rather restrictive, but he will be injured a lot if he doesn’t wear one. According to the information, he has Blood Affinity, not Bones."

Lues thought for a moment. "What if he has a unique ability like you?"

"Him?" Christina was surprised at first but soon noticed what was going on.

Her grandfather wouldn’t have told them to visit this country if Clovis was just a mere grandson of a Tier 9 human. It would be a different case if he also had a unique ability.

In other words, just like her, he would also become a Tier 9.

"Does Grandfather intend to…" Christina frowned. If both families cooperated with each other, they would have four Tier 9s in the future.

"No one dotes on you the most than your grandpa, so I don’t think it’s the case. Well, I think we can find out the answer in this battle."

Christina nodded.

The host of the party stood in the arena while saying, "The night is still young, so we’re pleased to see heated matches. However, please don’t forget that this is a banquet. No matter what you do, don’t release any lethal blows. There will be a Tier 8 referee whose role is to stop you in case the battle becomes dangerous.

"If there is anyone who isn’t in battle but chooses to come to the arena, then I shall take it as a threat and deal with it accordingly."

This was a threat for the older people. They had strength and experience, so it would be bad if they struck the participants.

Clovis pulled out his swords while listening to Rivain say, "Heh? You’re not going to use your pistol? Well, that pistol will be useless anyway. After all, I can dodge those bullets completely."

"You talk too much." Clovis shook his head helplessly.

"I’m going to beat you so hard today." Rivain gnashed his teeth.

Alan looked worried, but Jeremy simply smiled. Clovis wasn’t someone who would accept a losing fight.

Other people were observing, wondering what the current rising star had to offer. Could he really win against Rivain?

The referee looked at both sides. "Since you are ready, the match will begin once this coin drops into the floor!"

He tossed a coin into the air and leaped backward, giving them the space to fight.

Both sides leaped toward each other.

Rivain punched Clovis with all his strength while the latter raised both swords, trying to receive this punch to measure Rivain’s strength.

To his surprise, the punch overwhelmed Clovis right away, blowing him back for more than five meters.

Rivain continued onward, not letting Clovis have the chance to catch a breath.

When Rivain was about to reach him, Clovis took a deep breath, using his fastest speed to stop his punch. He struck the fist multiple times, which was blocked by the thin plate within the gloves.

As a result, Clovis had to stop and block this attack, resulting in him getting pushed back again.

"It’s useless. You might have the ability to fight a Tier 4 when you are a Tier 2, but that’s because the gap between those two tiers is not as immense as the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 5." Rivain shouted.

"You can’t be so sure about that." Clovis shook his head. He still remained calm as he had an experience against a Tier 5 human.

Still, Rivain was stronger than the assassin he faced back then, so this would definitely not be an easy fight. He didn’t have Reolf or any advantage either.

There were two things that had changed from that battle. First, Clovis had become a Tier 3. The second change was that he had the paintings.

That was why, after understanding Rivain’s strength, Clovis took a deep breath, slowing down the world he saw even further.

"In that case, I will break your right hand with this punch!" Rivain punched him again.

Instead of defending against this punch, Clovis moved toward Rivain as closely as possible before tilting his body. His punch would still come from the right side, which was supposed to be his right hand.

Yet Clovis actually didn’t bother to protect his right side, taking advantage of the defense from his clothes to absorb the damage.

It still grazed him pretty badly, but as a result, Clovis managed to pass Rivain’s defense and used his full speed to strike him.
