Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 86  Luis vS Alex!

At the stadium.

[After several intense battles. Now finally, only the top 20 students are left. That means they will all get the S grade privileges while at the academy.]

When Kevin announced this, the candidates who were eliminated early felt jealous.

Some of them were unconvinced because they believed that they were strong and had the possibility of reaching an A grade evaluation at the very least, but ended up meeting the powerful enemies and being eliminated early. They believed that they were just unlucky.

But nothing can be done about it. This world values the survival of the fittest. Whether you survive with brawns or brains, do trickery or play fair, betray or make bonds, as long as you can survive for another day, you can keep getting stronger. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, it doesn't apply to everyone. Since some people are born with amazing talents and they are destined to be the ones to dominate.

Inside the VR world.

[Now that the last 30 minutes of the test are left. The monsters are going to get stronger and the island will start sinking. Everyone! Please do your best!]

Kevin's announcement sounded inside the VR world.

Luis, who was walking through the grassy field, glanced at the kill count and nodded in satisfaction.

'Well, now I can get the hidden bonus.'

[Kills - 213]

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks as he sensed something.

He turned his head to look sideways, and he saw the silhouette of someone running in his direction.

'No, not me. It should be the central area.'

Luis took out his magic gun, ready to shoot at the candidate.

But when the figure got clearer in his perception range, Luis smiled faintly.

'That Iconic white hair... It can only be him.'

'The first protagonist of the Holy Dragon Knight, Alex Stain!'

"Well, whatever."

Luis mumbled and pulled the trigger.

*Bang!*

---

After separating from Sera, Alex fought some candidates on his way towards the central area of the island.

But in his mind, he was still thinking about his strange encounter with Sera.

'I just don't understand that girl. Does she like me or something?'

'Nah, it can't be. I don't even know her. But she does seem to know about me.'

'Ahh, it's so confusing...!!!'

'Well, she sure is beautiful, though.'

Alex nodded thoughtfully. While many strange imaginations ran wild in his mind.

But all his fantasies were cut short as he sensed danger and instinctively swung his sword.

*Ting!*

He felt something heavy collide with his sword.

'A bullet...?!'

'No! It was an attack made of mana!'

Alex sharply turned toward the source of the attack.

Although he couldn't see clearly from such a far distance, he could still see a silhouette of someone standing there.

'It's him...'

Alex's feet paced, and he made his way towards him.

Luis, on the other hand, wasn't much surprised that Alex had managed to dodge that attack. If the protagonist can be so easily defeated like some small fries, then he will not be called a protagonist, right?

'Well, he is still weak, though.' Luis was sure that the current Alex wasn't his opponent, and he had many ways to deal with him. But Luis still wanted to try his abilities.

So he patiently waited without any intention of hiding.

It didn't take long for Alex to appear 20 meters away from Luis, looking at him seriously.

Alex's instincts told him that the person standing in front of him was very strong. So, he was very careful.

"You are the one who attacked me, right?" Although Alex was certain, he still asked.

Luis nodded, admitting it, and said, "Well, we are enemies, after all."

Alex nodded seriously, thinking that Luis meant as in this test and took a sword stance. "In that case, let's fight."

His instincts told him that the person in front of him was strong. But so what, if he didn't even dare to face such challenges, then how could he become stronger? Strong enough to save his loved ones and find that person.

Just thinking about it, Alex's fighting intent rose. Then he pointed his sword towards Luis.

Seeing Alex's change in temperament, Luis smiled faintly and then shot.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Alex's eyes were focused on the gun, trying to see the trajectory of the bullets. As he concentrated on it, his body moved instinctively and he parried all the bullets with his sword.

"You are very strong." Alex complimented.

"I know," Luis said as he changed from using mana bullets to thunder bullets.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Sizzle!*

Facing these golden bullets, Alex's expression changed. As soon as he tried to deflect it, his hands trembled at the impact.

'What power!'

Alex knew that his normal swordsmanship wouldn't work here, so he decided to use his magic swordsmanship.

"Holy flame!"

He shouted and the next moment, golden flames erupted from his body and then enveloped his sword.

But the sword didn't melt because of the intense flames. Instead, the Holy flames surrounded his sword as if coating it.

This time, he managed to parry the thunder bullets easily without much effort.

'Hah, I can do this!'

A certain confidence started building up inside Alex as he tried to close their distance while also dealing with the thunder bullet shots.

Luis still observed Alex's movements and his fighting style calmly while he continued shooting.

'Hmm, he is still using basic swordsmanship. Well, it is normal considering he hasn't yet learned his special sword arts.'

'Sigh, the current Alex is just too weak.'

'Well, that should be the case, considering it is just the beginning of the game. But as soon as he finishes some quests and challenges, his strength will have a rapid development and once he awakens his bloodline, it will be even more so.'

Just when Alex managed to get a little closer to him. Luis suddenly changed his fighting style. From a Magic Gun to a Lightning Spear.

*Swish!*

*Clang!*

Surprised, Alex couldn't react fast enough and took a heavy blow. Even if he tried to resist using his sword covered in holy flames. The power behind Luis' blow was that of a five-star Novice, which he who is just a three-star Beginner, can't deal with no matter how talented he is.

"Ugh!"

Landing a few meters away. Alex tried to stabilize himself. But Luis didn't give him a chance and immediately used his next move.

"Thunder Snake!"

The Thunder Snake glided towards Alex and immediately entwined his hand.

"What?!"

Just when Alex was about to use his sword to chop his left hand. The Thunder Snake discharged.

*Kaboom!*

After the smoke cleared. Alex was left there standing with an ugly face as his crimson eyes stared deeply at Luis. His left hand was completely blown up and half of his body was charred.

Gritting his teeth, he looked fiercely at Luis. But then his eyes widened in shock. Because Luis was already prepared for another attack.

A golden Javelin made of thunder floated above his palm. Luis' eyes calmly looked at Alex as he waved his hand gently.

"Thunder Javelin!"

The next moment, the Thunder Javelin shot directly towards Alex.

'Shit!'

Feeling the power behind that attack, Alex cursed inwardly. He immediately waved his sword, slashing it forward, trying to deflect that attack somehow.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

*Ting!*

As the Thunder Javelin collided with his sword. Alex felt a tremendous force pushing him back and the next moment, the impact of that attack broke his hand.

The Thunder Javelin, after pushing Alex's sword away, directly landed on his chest, making a gaping hole and eliminating him.

Looking at his kill count, that has been increased by one. Luis sighed and then mumbled.

"Even until the end, he hid his strength."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter to me."

Shaking his head, he gave a last look at the disappearing body. Then left towards the central area of the island. While thinking.

'Alicia should be waiting for me.'

'I just don't know if my battle with her can help me break through to D Rank.'

Just thinking back on Alicia's declaration before the exam, Luis couldn't help but get excited.

It wasn't just her who wanted a battle with him. He, too, wanted to have an intense fight with her.

Luis knew that the only opponent for him in this exam would be Alicia. All other candidates are small fries for him.

Of course, the monsters aren't counted.

***

On the other hand, Alicia, who had just defeated a few candidates while still looking for Luis, met a familiar green-haired girl staring at her.

"Sera?"

Sera's eyes looking at Alicia were full of various emotions. But most of all was sadness and guilt.

Her heart was heavy remembering what happened to Alicia.

Just remembering that memory and the feel of her cold, dead body, Sera's lips trembled.

'I'm sorry, Alicia, but this time I won't let you die because of your meaningless revenge.'
