Chapter 1097: Duel

"That being said, a bet is only fair when both sides put up something of equal value. If I win the duel, then the Mystical Realm Palace also has to sign a one-year contract with Blue Oasis that comes with favorable terms. Let's see, I suppose an eighty percent discount on all pills purchased sounds good. Additionally, I get to choose the method we will use to duel." Peaceful Chaos stated.

Now that things had come this far, he could not back down; otherwise, what face would he have left in front of his guild members? Not to mention, the odds were stacked in his favor.

"I don't mind. But you will also have to tell me what you're up to in this place." Izroth said nonchalantly.

Peaceful Chaos frowned. He had no idea why Izroth was so interested in what they were up to.

"Did he manage to find out about that thing? No, that can't be. Even we only just discovered it not too long ago, and those who do know aren't stupid enough to open their mouths about it. Well, it's fine-since it's not like I'll lose anyway." Peaceful Chaos thought to himself.

"I'm not sure why Palace Master Izroth is so interested in what my Blue Oasis is up to in its own territory, but I'll accept that condition as well. You won't mind if we put it all in writing, right? It's not that I don't trust Palace Master Izroth. It's just that the stakes are somewhat high." Peaceful Chaos said as he sent a contract request to Izroth.

'Oh? He sent the contract request himself? This makes it easier for me.'

It was obvious to Izroth that Peaceful Chaos did not trust him. However, after what took place in the Great Sea Palace raid, shouldn't it be him making the contract request out of a lack of trust? After all, Blue Oasis had already proven that they could not be held to their word.

'This guy is more thorough than he looks.'

Izroth read over the terms of the contract request and found that it outlined all the conditions both sides mentioned. There were also no hidden clauses or additional terms. It even

mentioned what type of duel the two would have.

'These duel conditions... Is he confident in his class and skills as a core player?'

The duel would be done via the system's official request, where players could adjust how they wanted to face one another. In this case, Peaceful Chaos listed a few restrictions.

For one, both sides would have their base stats set to 100, and their HP set to 1,000. Furthermore, neither side could use skills above A-rank, inventory items, or equipment effects.

The winner of the duel would be whoever was the first to win two rounds. Each duel would last for one minute. If both players were still alive when time ran out, then the one with the highest HP remaining would be the victor. If their HP was tied, then the match would be considered a draw. If anyone interfered with the match, then the losing side would be whoever the interfering party was related to. If it was another outside interference, then the match would be considered null and void.

The rules were fairly restrictive and limited the number of outside variables. Most importantly, it was an ideal set of dueling rules for someone with a strong class.

Peaceful Chaos knew that Izroth cleared a hardcore dungeon raid and was currently ranked 1st place on the event leaderboards by a large margin. Who knows what kind of powerful equipment or items he obtained as a result? This was the main reason why Peaceful Chaos put so many restrictions in place.

As a combat master, in terms of the quantity of low-level skills, he believed that Izroth had an advantage. However, when it came to the quality of skills, Peaceful Chaos was confident that his class was better than whatever skills a combat master could conjure up. A combat master didn't even have a class upgrade. How could it possibly compare to other classes after reaching level 50?

...

A few minutes later, after both sides confirmed the final details of the contract request and signed, they prepared for their duel.

Izroth and Peaceful Chaos stood roughly five meters apart from one another, facing toward one another.

The other players from Blue Oasis stood back several meters and watched from a safe distance.

As for Azalea, there was a look of disappointment in her eyes for not being able to personally teach Peaceful Chaos and Blue Oasis a lesson in place of her teacher; however, she knew that Izroth had to be doing this for a reason. Therefore, she silently spectated while keeping a close eye on the members of Blue Oasis off in the distance.

[System Alert: A duel has been initiated between Player Izroth and Player Peaceful Chaos. Beginning countdown sequence. 10 seconds...]

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. My class specializes in one-on-one combat. I hope Palace Master Izroth isn't too much of a sore loser." Peaceful Chaos said as he took a combative stance.

During the Great Sea Palace raid, Peaceful Chaos had the rare class Bestial Champion. However, he had undergone a class change after reaching level 50 to Mythic Champion. In terms of one-on-one combat potential, only the first Captain of Blue Oasis, Road, could match his class!

5...

"You forgot one important thing," Izroth said calmly.

3...

"A duel is only considered as such when both sides are evenly matched," Izroth commented with a distant gaze as he moved his hand to the hilt of his Sword of the Storm.

[System Alert: Duel has commenced!

Right as the duel started, Izroth moved at an incredible speed toward Peaceful Chaos.

"?!" Peaceful Chaos was caught completely off guard by Izroth's abrupt burst of speed. With the restrictions in place, there were only 100 points in his base agility. So, how was he moving so fast?

Even though Peaceful Chaos had restricted skills above A-rank, he did not place any restrictions on titles. Due to his Gift of Divine Speed title, Izroth gained a 200% agility boost for the first minute of combat as well as a consistent 100% movement speed bonus. This alone made him six times faster than Peaceful Chaos!

Peaceful Chaos had no time to react to Izroth's speed blitz as he swiftly moved to raise his guard; however, he felt a slight cold chill brush past his neck as Izroth sped past him.

At the same time, Izroth's Sword of the Storm could be seen slightly positioned out of its sheath as he pushed it back in.

'Seventh Sword Form: Motionless Killing Stroke.'

[System Alert: The duel has ended! Winner: Player Izroth

Peaceful Chaos' eyes widened in shock and a look of disbelief formed on his face as the winner

of the first duel was announced by the system.

The Blue Oasis Captain was not the only one present who was left stunned. From the players from Blue Oasis' point of view, it appeared that Peaceful Chaos just stood there and let Izroth attack him. However, it only seemed this way to them because of the stat restriction in place. From Peaceful Chaos' point of view, for a split second, he completely lost track of Izroth and did not even know where the attack had come from!

However, this was not surprising considering the skill Izroth used to attack. After raising the Seventh Sword Form: Motionless Killing Stroke to its max skill level, it provided Izroth with a terrifying attack that easily caught opponents off guard due to his weapon still being

sheathed.

Skill Name: Seventh Sword Form: Motionless Killing Stroke

"That's one," Izroth said in a carefree manner without even looking in Peaceful Chaos'

direction.
