Chapter 35 - That's Cheating!!!
"Running is not in my vocabulary." Ezekiel arrogantly replied.
He then turned around to fight once more, but the moment he turned around to face his opponent, he met the eyes of someone hungry for more blood.
"Sh*t..." Ezekiel swallowed his words back, then ran in the other direction.
"Oi, oi, why are you running this way!!"
"Where did your arrogant attitude disappear to."
"Do you have any shame? You're talking so big, yet you are running away for your life in a fair duel?"
The crowd spread out one after the other, seeing Ezekiel coming after them, with Akkar on his tail.

"If you want a fair match that badly, then how about we switch places instead?" Ezekiel said coldly to the last guy who talked trash at him. He then grabbed the guy's armor and threw him at Akkar that was rampaging towards him.
Akkar stepped aside to dodge the poor guy that was thrown at him, barely slowing down his charge. But not enough to stop him on his tracks, as soon as Ezekiel got close enough for his ax to reach him. Akkar instantly leapt through the air, raising his ax in the sky and slashing towards Ezekiel's back.
BANG!!!!!!!
The dust in the ground flew around when Akkar's attack missed its target.
Ezekiel barely dodged the attack that could have ended his life in an instant.
"Holy SH*T, that's deep," Ezekiel exclaimed in horror when he looked back to the place where Akkar's great ax landed.
As Akkar pulled out his great ax, and the dust finally settled, a long gash remained on the ground where his great ax landed.
Ezekiel then continued running away from his opponent. "Mister, how about you let me off this time? I didn't really mean to say those things earlier."
"No!!" With a loud shout, Akkar charged at Ezekiel once more. He is so pumped up on winning this fight.
This is a very good content for his channel, but losing this fight will only make him look weak and worsen his image.
A berserker, losing to a healer, may gather a lot of views. But who would even watch him in that lame video? Viewers will only be there for his opponent, not for him, curious about how did he lose and who was the person behind it.
"Tsk... What an unreasonable guy." Ezekiel mumbled as he casually dodged the incoming attack. "Mister, I can do this all day, and you wouldn't even catch a hair of mine." Ezekiel tried to compromise to save a little time, seeing the little timer on the sky nearing its end.
"You wouldn't understand..." Akkar rejected Ezekiel's suggestion with a chop of his ax. It wouldn't look good for his video if he ended the climactic scene in such a lousy way. Even if it is a draw, a loss, or a win, Akkar still wanted to end this fight outstandingly.
"Up to you," Ezekiel replied as he casually dodged another attack. Even though Akkar is a lot faster than him when it comes to running, it will still be hard for Akkar to hit him with his weapon. Due to the fact that every time Akkar attacks with his great ax, he will come to a stop in his tracks for a moment and swing his great ax. And the moment that Akkar was still gathering the momentum for his attack. Ezekiel will instantaneously burst his running speed to its top speed, evading the attack by a hair's breadth. Besides, Akkar doesn't have a choice in his attacks with his weapon, as he won't be able to bring out it's full power if he doesn't swing it in a proper way.
All this time, he has been holding back his speed around 70% of his top speed, barely enough to dodge Akkar's current speed. If he tried to do one more clash with Akkar and he wasn't able to end him. The tables will turn, and it will be the end of Ezekiel instead. That is why he is currently running away from his opponent, the moment he learned how fast Akkar moved and how strong his attacks are with his current berserk state.
...
"Arghhhh!!!" Akkar shouted in frustration as he left another cut on the ground after missing Ezekiel by a hair's breadth, then charged at the running guy once more. He kept on thinking about how the heck are his attacks not hitting his opponent at all. He was clearly a lot of time faster than his opponent. Yet every time he was about to hit Ezekiel, he would instantly disappear in his line of sight and appear a couple of meters away from him.
If only Ezekiel fights him head-on once more; so he can get stronger. He could have ended this battle with ease.
Seeing the 20 seconds left on the timer, Akkar slashed with fury at Ezekiel's back. But just as expected, his opponent easily dodged the attack once more. "Arghhh!! Why can't I hit you!?" Akkar grumbled in frustration.
Ezekiel noticed that his opponent is now getting frustrated each second, trying so hard just to hit him. Ezekiel's plan of using a psychological attack is finally working. The moment his opponent left his guard down will be the time he will attack with all of his might. He will just hope that it will be enough to take him down. "15 seconds, mister..." Ezekiel said after casually evading another attack from him.
With Ezekiel's reminder, Akkar stopped in his tracks as he decided to use the trump card he's been hiding all this time. "Emerge!" Akkar shouted in annoyance, as he doesn't want to use this in front of his viewers. Shortly, a small dagger then appeared on Akkar's palm. It was a dagger that he bought earlier from a walking merchant using the money he got from his first win.
"What now?" Noticing Akkar stopping on his chase. Ezekiel also stopped in his tracks.
Without wasting any time, Akkar stabbed his shoulders, inflicting 5 damage. Thinking that it wasn't enough, he stabbed on the same spot once more, inflicting another 5 damage. With this 10 damage, Akkar has now lost 70% of his health, and basically increasing his strength, agility, and defense by 140%.
"Oi, oi, isn't that cheating??" Ezekiel blurted out in disbelief as he hurriedly ran away, far from his opponent. As soon as he realizes that he is basically f*cked up once Akkar caught him.
