The two fighters’ weapons clashed with each other, aiming for dominance as they tried pushing each other.

"[Gorilla Fist: Gorilla Drum] / [Axe Art: Mountain Eater]!" – two combatants swung their attacks each other, landing solid blows against each other that resulted in both fighters pushing each other away.

"..."

(Are you fucking with me right now?) – thought Powin as she raised up her weapons, getting ready to fight, as was Phantasia.

(He is my {hunter}?)

(...)

(Honestly, this is annoying.)

(I’ve heard about what he did and what not... He will be annoying ass opponent.)

(Not only that.... Those plagues and poisons are the biggest concern for me.)

(There is also his defense that I need to watch out for.)

"..."

<<Powin.>>

<<One of most well-known players in the whole world.>>

<<Solo player.>>

<<No guild affiliation.>>

<<No faction affiliation.>>

<<"Beast Of Slaughter And Beauty", "Slaughtering Princess", "One Woman Army" and so on.>>

<<Simple put, she is a monster.>>

<<Her race is completely mystery.>>

<<It has both lion like beastly parts, while also possessing some weird scales over her body.>>

<<Some people are saying that she is special race of beastmen.... While some others are calling her a dragon.>>

<<Either way, even if her race is mystery, she is still extremely strong without it.>>

<<Powin is know for being unstoppable beast that appeared few months after the first official tournament.>>

<<Apparently she even picked a fight with Magnus at one point, who was at the time wielding the first rank....>>

<<However, he lost.>>

<<Magnus lost the first rank to her in the duel.>>

<<And she never let go of that rank ever since.>>

<<Rank 1.>>

<<Rank 2.>>

<<And rank 3.>>

<<All of these ranks had never changed hands for extremely long amount of time.>>

<<And that is the good reason why.>>

<<Because all of us are monsters.>>

<<But anyway, Powin.>>

<<Her main weapon is one handed axe and pistole type revolver with a blade attached to the bottom.>>

<<She has berserker type build, knight type build, axe user type build, gun type user type build and warrior type build.>>

<<She is known to posses 5 known classes to the public, 3 unquies and 2 epics.>>

<<She is also believed to possess multiple legendary classes as well as several unique and epic classes that nobody else has.>>

[Beast Berserker] – [Unique]

[War Survivor] – [Unique]

[Big Game Hunter] – [Unique]

[Game Hunter] – [Epic]

[Beast Warrior] – [Epic]

<<These 5 classes were confirmed to be in her possession – Somebody else also have the same classes I just mentioned.>>

<<Survival, warrior and hunter types.>>

<<Beside those classes, I somewhat get a gist of her other classes and items.>>

<<Speed, power and survivability.>>

<<Berserker type slash hunter build.>>

(Honestly, I knew there was a good chance that I would fight her... But she? I mean SHE IS MY TARGET?!)

(This feels way too off to be just freaking coincidence!)

(Did the developers cheated a little?)

(Either way.)

(SHE IS OEN OF THE PEOPLE I WANTED TO FIGHT AT ALL COST!) – thought Phantasia as he made his move, rushing towards the female warrior while covering his claws in thick layer of poison.

Phantasia swung his claws at the woman and slashed her in two.

[Game Hunter] skill.

[Decoy Presence]

However, it was beyond obvious a fake, as the real one was already behind Phantasia, ready to pull the trigger.

But as Powin pulled it, Phantasia’s tail suddenly sprouted from underneath the coat, hitting the woman in her arm from underneath, causing her aim to change and make the shot completely miss the target.

"OBVIOUS!" – shouted Phantasia as he swung around his claws, forcing Powin to use her axe to block off the attack, parrying the strike.

After that, both combatants began launching at each other series of blows.

The swings of blades.

The gun fire.

Skills.

Brute force.

Tactic and what not.

Neither side was holding back or trying to judge the other side’s strength.

They were aiming to kill.

...

But even so, neither side was able to gain any ground for long.

They were pushing each other back and forth.

Phantasia managed to grab Powin by her arm and aimed to throw her against a tree.

"!?" – however, the beast was able to keep herself on the spot, using her own physical strength to resist Phantasia.

And before Phantasia could react, the woman aimed with her pistole and shot the monster right in his face.

"..."

"Bullshit." – however, it didn’t even gave a solid injury to the monster, only a dent, as Powin nervously watched the creature then transform its head into four-part chainsaw mouth.

"HOLY SHIT!" – shouted Powin as Phantasia was coming closer, aiming to devour the beast’s face off.

"[Breaking Beast]!" – Powin quickly used her [Beast Berserker] skill, unleashing a blasting roar that knocked back Phantasia and freed the woman from the monster’s grasp.

(FUCK ME! THAT WAS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!) – thought Powin as she then began shooting nonstop with her gun.

But Phantasia didn’t cared as he put his [Necromancy: Bone Armor] around himself, protecting himself somewhat from the bullets, while making his way towards the female warrior, who instead of running just swung her axe, using [Beast Of Madness: Bear], unleashing a devasting slash against Phantasia... Which didn’t bother the monster one bit, as he then used [Lion Fist: Lion Conquest], unleashing a devasting slash attack with his claws that pierced the woman’s stomach.

Phantasia quickly went for another grab while opening up his head again, but Powin wasn’t having as she used [Hunter Secret Spot], instantly teleporting away to the invisible marked location that was on top of one of the trees.

Phantasia instantly found out her location.

(Shit! Does he have detection?) – thought Powin as she quickly used costume made quickly loader, to reload 12 bullets into her revolver, while Phantasia... Didn’t gave chase?

"!"

"Again?!" – said Powin as Phantasia ran up to the tree instead of her, and just uprooted it from the ground, before then throwing it straight at her.

(His physical strength is extremely high. Is it as high as mine?) – thought Powin as she managed to leap away from her location just in time, only to then be met by a hail of poison and bone shots, which ended up hitting the woman several time.

The woman used a nearby tree to bounce off, quickly getting out of the line of fire and hiding behind one of the trees.

However, Phantasia just increases the volume of his magic attacks and unleashed several blades of bones and acid pump blast, which instantly destroyed the tree as well as the entire location where it was.

"!" – but the female beast was nowhere to be in sight.

(STEALTH AIN’T WORKING ON ME! BITCH!) – thought Phantasia as blasted another spot, destroying everything in its direction.... But again, not finding anything.

[Nightmare Hunter] – [Class Rarity: Unique]

[Lying Nightmare] – [Active Skill]

[Create a fake decoy that can be detected by the enemy, while increasing your own stealth ability.]

(What the-?!) – Phantasia realized he got fooled and quickly blasted everything around himself with acid, melting anything that was near him.... But even so, the woman was nowhere to be found, which just confused and alarmed the monster.

(Where is she?!) – thought Phantasia as he was using his [Mad Mage] skill, [Eye Of Blind Seeker] and his [Beasts Within Tamer] skill, [Beast Sense Intimidation], to try and locate the hidden beast.... However, even with a combination of his [Epic] classes skills, he couldn’t find her anywhere.)

(What the hell is going on?!)

(Both of these skills enchants each other performance!) – thought Phantasia as he got ready to blast everything in the area.

"..."

(No.... She maybe waiting for this.)

(The moment I start on blasting everything around me, she may plan to do something.)

(But what?)

(Her stealth skill, what is it?)

(Invisibly? Or no action type?)

(Can she stay completely hidden? OR she is completely hidden until she takes specific action?)

(Either way, this isn’t good.)

(Should I just unleash my monsters now?)

(I didn’t spread the plague from the get go either, since I didn’t wanted to reveal my location to everybody.... But at the rate things are going, I should do both of these things.)

(However, what if she is also aiming for that?)

(Fuck me.... Should I make first move or not?)

(I could also try transforming.... But do I want to reveal THAT card yet?)

(....She is the number one....Fuck me...)

"..."

(Huh... I wonder if he realized that I’m already gone?) – thought Powin who was just running away quietly, leaving the area as Phantasia just stayed behind, wondering when the attack would come.

(Honestly, I want to eliminate him as soon as possible... Heck. I can’t let him get to the finals.)

(But at the same time, too many people are hunting for me.)

(During first and second round, there were also people like those after me.... But who were they?)

(They were nobodies... Probably mercenaries.... But who hired them is a question.)

(Probably if we were to continue fighting now, there is good chance that ALL of the people on the map would team up for the moment and try to eliminate us.)

(And it would be beyond annoying, having to deal with the entire map and this guy at the same time....)

(It is better to play it safe than sorry.... But still.)

(That bastard will not chasing after me....)

(So.... What do I do?)
