A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

Akkar noticed that his opponent is now running away from him as fast as possible. He also did not waste any time and continued his pursuit after Ezekiel. 

"Oorah!!" Akkar pushed his feet off the ground and charged at Ezekiel. With each step Akkar took, the ground trembled, displaying the strength that he currently possesses. 

Ezekiel curiously took a peek at his opponent, but immediately focused on running again in terror. After seeing that, Akkar has closed their distance to four meters in just a second. 

"F*ck, f*ck, this is cheating, cheating!!!" How the hell did his opponent think of buying a dagger in the early stage to damage himself and increase his strength? And how the hell was he able to buy another weapon if they already have a weapon picked in the character creation??

There are still many things they don't have any knowledge about, hidden in this world. But it's a good thing that he encounters these things early on when they are still far from any troubles. 

Ezekiel is still lucky that Akkar only used this method of damaging himself in the last second of the fight. If Akkar used it 20 seconds earlier, he would have died by this moment.

He doesn't know why his opponent just used it now, but he was thankful for it.

"Oorah!!" Hearing the ear-splitting howl of Akkar, Ezekiel immediately reacted, he has been treating this as his signal whenever Akkar attacked him from behind.

This time, Ezekiel doesn't have the capability to change his speed instantaneously to dodge the attack, since he's been running at full speed. Instead, Ezekiel planted his staff on the ground and propelled himself forward to avoid the pounce of Akkar. 

BANG!!! A thundering sound echoed throughout the plaza as Akkar's weapon met the ground.

Having missed his attack once more, Akkar cried inwardly; he then looked at the timer.

At the same time, Ezekiel landed on his feet and also looked at the timer. 

"8 seconds..." Akkar muttered in hopelessness, realizing that it is now or never. He then pulled his great ax out of the ground.

Afterward, he spun his whole body while gripping his weapon with his two arms. While contracting all of his muscles on his arms, putting everything in this one last strike. 

Akkar then threw his weapon in Ezekiel's direction.

BOOOOM!!!!!!! 

A small sonic boom reverberated in the plaza as his great ax soared towards Ezekiel.

BANG!!!!!!!

With how fast the great ax traveled, probably almost reaching the speed of sound. Ezekiel wasn't able to move even an inch before the great ax hit him directly in the chest. He then got knocked back, sliding off towards the crowd from his earlier position. Ezekiel just hoped that this wasn't enough to kill him. 

Luckily, it was in Alex's direction again. She then prepared to stop Ezekiel in his tracks. 

"Watch out!!" The surrounding players besides Alex, ran away from her. 

BANG!!!!! 

Alex then caught Ezekiel's back with difficulty. The moment she caught Ezekiel, Alex herself felt the force of that attack, as she has also slid off a few meters away.

"Still alive?" As soon as she managed to stabilize her footing, Alex then whispered in his ears. 

Hearing Alex's soft voice in his ears, Ezekiel woke up in his unconscious state with how great the damage he received a moment ago.

Seeing that he was still alive despite the damage he took, Ezekiel did not waste any time to counterattack at this moment while his enemy doesn't have any weapon. 

Without replying to Alex, he first pulled out the great ax that was stuck on his chest armor.

"Arghhhh!!" A loud, resonant metallic sound echoed as he dropped the great ax on the ground. Then his leather armor suddenly disintegrated into thin air as soon as the weapon got removed. Devoid of the time to think about what happened to his armor. Ezekiel clenched his staff and stormed towards his opponent. 

"Lucky bastard..." Alex mumbled while staring at Ezekiel's running figure. If she did not cushion Ezekiel earlier, he would have received more damage from the crash's impact. Or if he did not fly off towards her direction, he would surely die. 

"HEAL!!" As he was charging Ezekiel towards his opponent. Ezekiel healed himself up first and looked at the timer. "5 seconds... I hope this is enough..." He then stared at Akkar, that was also charging at him at full speed with a small dagger in his hand. 

...

Seeing the 89 damage; he inflicted on his opponent Akkar felt crying inside. It was only 1 health left for him to win, 1 freaking health!!

Without a moment to lament his misfortune, Akkar stormed towards his opponent, seeing him standing up and healing himself. 

As the two approached each other, Akkar howled in fury as he raised his small dagger. With the eyes of someone crazy that wants to stab his opponent's heart to end his life.

"DIEEEE!!"

Akkar's small dagger swung past Ezekiel's head, along with an ear-splitting sound. 

Ezekiel did not cower in such a frightening situation, even with how low his current health has. The moment he dodged the attack, he lifted his head up and faced Akkar eye to eye; while the corners of his mouth turned up. Ezekiel then prepared to counterattack one last time. 

Akkar also didn't take his eyes off Ezekiel watching every move he makes. As he expressed his fury at Ezekiel for managing to live with sliver health. 

Ezekiel then drove his staff up towards his opponent's head, forcing Akkar to be airborne for a moment. This time Ezekiel added a little spin on his attack, making it a lot stronger than earlier. 

As Akkar was still airborne, Ezekiel repeated an attack he did last time. By chaining his next attack, and spinning his body horizontally in a circle. It begins as a jump with one leg while kicking with the other on Akkar's head. Then moves the kicking leg down and the jumping leg up into another kick on Akkar's head, then landing with the first kicking leg, all while spinning. 

Akkar may have gotten stronger and faster, but his reaction speed is still almost the same. He also wasn't able to react to his attack at all. 

Ezekiel then followed up with a quick windup over his shoulders, like a batter in baseball waiting for his opponent to fall in his range. 

As soon as Akkar's head fell into the range of his weapon, Ezekiel clenched his staff harder. Then hurriedly made a wide arcing swing that flew at a very fast rate targeting Akkar's head. 

While in mid-air, Akkar has thought of a counterattacking instead of trying to block or dodge something he couldn't see. He might as well go on the offensive with how low Ezekiel's health has. 

Akkar then squeezed all the strength left in his arm as he clenched the small dagger. He then threw it at Ezekiel's head. 

Everyone watching has been on the edge of their seat as they spectated the last clash happening in front of them. 

But just as his staff was about a few inches away from smashing Akkar's head, as well as Akkar's dagger hitting Ezekiel's head. They were stopped so suddenly by a mysterious force and a robotic sound that echoed throughout the plaza.
