The Legacy System

It looked like Eric could only pray for some miracle that the Mountain Idiots ax didn't hit him, and it swerved a bit on the side, otherwise, it should be impossible for him to block that.

After all, that was the attack of a Realm 2 evolver, who had even used gravity in his favor with the full intention of killing him.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly even in this situation, Eric managed to stay completely calm, looking at the incoming opponent with a chill in his eyes.

He found out that for some reason he didn't like the opponent in the least, and the soon he killed him the better it would be.

But at the same time, this was also the perfect opponent, and an opportunity for him to train himself, his reflexes, his moves, and his battle experience.

With these thoughts in mind, the two knives he had 'taken' as battle spoils the previous time appeared in his hand, and he immediately placed them in a cross shape above his head.

'Claaannnngggggggg~!'

A loud, and ear-piercing sound of metals clashing was heard all over the Area all of a sudden, as the people in the crowd couldn't believe their eyes.

Eric had actually blocked the ax with his two small knives, and he didn't look like he was at a disadvantage.

"Youu… Weren't you a Realm 1 trash!? Why do you have the pressure, and strength of a Realm 2 evolver!?"

"Do you think you can compare me with your stupid standard measure!?

I am Special!

Furthermore, it has already been one week since I was Realm 1, you don't expect me to stay Realm 1 all my life, do you, Idiot!?"

The Mountain Idiot was already overwhelmed by the fact that Eric wasn't a Realm 1 evolver anymore, but he even had to hear Eric call him like that.

Just that 'Idiot' word he heard actually enraged and infuriated him to the limit, which was clearly shown and demonstrated the next moment.

"You bastard…"

'Claanngg…, claaannggg…, claaannnggg…'

Unable to control himself and his anger, the Mountain Idiot immediately started swinging his ax with the intention to kill Eric as fast as he could.

'Horizontal swing, vertical strike, diagonal swing, diagonal swing, head cut…'

In a short amount of time, it looked like the Mountain Idiot was dancing with his ax, while Eric just kept his calm and defended himself against each of his attacks.

At first, his moves were a bit sloppy and exaggerated. While he was defending against the attacks he was wasting too much energy, and too much mental strength to use them.

Slowly, but surely though he started improving, as all the time he had been pondering and calculating each and every one of his moves.

With the pass of time, his defensive moves became much simpler, and much more productive, as his hand wasn't trembling anymore upon contact.

Not only that, but there wasn't even a recoil anymore after he had received the 50-ieth strike, and even though he continued to receive 10 more, he found out that there wasn't any space for improvement at the moment.

For that reason, this practice test of his lost all the meaning it held, and it was time to put an end to it. So he just looked at the opponent with a smirk, and said,

"Is there something else you want to show me before I kill you!?"

The Mountain Idiot would be a true idiot if he hadn't noticed that Eric was too calm and too collected during their battle.

Still, he thought that Eric was just putting on an act and that soon he would be worn out from defending his relentless attacks, and he would be able to do whatever he wished with him.

Unfortunately, that was only his wishful thinking, and he realized that the moment he saw Eric's smirk and heard his words.

This kid was truly going to kill him if he didn't make his move, he had thought of hiding this as a trump card when he fought those guys in the top 10, but he couldn't keep it any longer.

"Courting death!

Whirlwind spinning Ax!"

Saying those two words, he put a bit of distance between himself and Eric, before he started spinning while keeping his ax at an arm's distance.

It was nothing but a spinning wheel, but this spinning wheel was extremely sharp and difficult to handle, as Eric could only suffer.

It gave the feeling that the moment Eric entered its range, he wouldn't be able to escape in one piece even if he killed the guy.

But while this skill seemed and was extremely powerful, the truth was that it wasted a lot of stamina, physical strength, and mental strength, as soon this guy would turn dizzy by all that spinning.

If Eric focused on avoiding the skill until the Mountain Idiot was tired, he would win for sure, but he didn't like a win like that, so he decided to confront the attack head-on.

That could be considered even as an act of respect towards the opponent, as he started running towards the back.

His actions and his thoughts didn't make much sense at this point, but the moment he reached the end point of the cage, the iron bars, he used them as a stepping platform and jumped in the air.

The Mountain Idiot had no intention of letting Eric escape as he knew that this was his last move, so he followed behind every step.

But he didn't really expect Eric to jump like that in the air, and while passing right over his head he showed a triumphant smile on his face and lowered one hand to cut his throat.

Until the very last moment, the Mountain Idiot couldn't believe his fate, and how he had fallen for that trick. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret!

"Weak Fighter wins, ladies and gentlemen I think we just witnessed the first miracle of the many!

But things aren't over with this, there are still fighters who want to challenge the 'Weak Fighter' let us hope that he doesn't fail us!"

With those words from the announcer, the staff took away the corpse of the Mountain Idiot, as two chubby bald twins entered the cage with malicious expressions on their faces.

"Hmph~! Don't think that just because you killed a little bastard like that idiot, you will be able to easily deal with us!

In fact, you are going to die for us! The Arena isn't a place for weak and domesticated chicks like you!"

The twins had quite the ferocious and scary faces, but most importantly they were scary due to their flesh bodies.

Even though Eric didn't have much of an impression of such things, their skins seemed similar to metallic plates.

These two guys were by no means simple and easy targets. Thinking like that, Eric couldn't help but show a smile of great satisfaction, as he was going to win quite the battle experience.

As he was thinking like that, the twins took out two pairs of metallic looking gloves, and without wasting their time they immediately dashed towards Eric.

It was clear that they wanted to put a quick end to this battle, as one of them attacked head on, while the other one jumped in the air and attacked from above.

Even though it was impossible for the two of them to fully block Eric's retreat path, they were certainly leaving only tiny spaces.

'Claaannnnnnnnnng…, Claaannnnnnnnnng…'

Eric didn't lose his calm and cool, as he just stood on his spot and awaiting the two attacks, as he blocked them with a knife each.

This time the sounds were much different from what he expected though because he could feel the recoil strength of these two blocks he did were beyond what he had to do with the Mountain idiot.

The disparity in skills was more than obvious at this point, as that was just the start. Seeing that their first attack had been blocked the twins didn't get discouraged but were more decisive in their movements.

Without wasting time, they immediately connected their moves, while one of them continued attracting Eric's attention, while the other attacked from the side.

The two of them were treating Eric just like some kind of a boss in a game, where one of them played the tank while the other one played the damage dealer.

And it was most certainly working because Eric could feel that his stance, his defensive movements, and even his movements in the cage were being restricted and closed.

If he continued staying in that barrage for a few more hits, then he would be placed with his shoulders on the iron bars.

That was certainly something he didn't want to happen because he would become nothing more but a fish on the chopping board.

With these thoughts in mind, he decided that it was the time to counterattack, as he increased his strength at the limits of Realm 2, while he made an unexpected move.

As the twins were doing once again the front, and above move, Eric immediately slide down on the ground, and pushed himself through the legs of the twin in front of him, escaping both attacks.

Without wasting time, he then quickly stood up, to kick one of the twins on the back and use him as a springboard, to jump at the other.

Since the second guy had yet to properly turn around after falling to the ground, Eric took the opportunity and stabbed his knife into the guy's neck.

Still, his attack was off…
