Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 64: Felix vs Orkida II

The referee loudly announced the names of the combatants, making a stir with the small audience.

"Wait, I think I've heard that name somewhere..."

"Huh? Phantom? Is it the same guy that won a match yesterday?"

"You're right! It was said that there was a newcomer who defeated an opponent much stronger and bigger than him. This boy must be him!"

There were surprisingly many people who remembered about the match that happened yesterday.

This was mostly because the name of the winner was quite unusual and the fact that he had won against an opponent several times stronger had also made the match have many rumors.

Orkida raised his brow when he heard his opponent's name, a bit surprised, but that was it.

He didn't feel scared or have any fear knowing what accomplishment the kid had done because he was stronger than that man.

Narrowing his eyes, the man looked at Felix and said in a low voice.

"Are you feeling confident after winning a single match? I won't be giving you the chance to win like your previous opponent did."

Felix turned to look at the man and shook his head before telling the referee.

"I'm ready, please start the match.", he sounded hurried.

The referee nodded knowing why the kid seemed in a hurry.

'This boy really applied to participate in six matches....'

Knowing extremely well how exhausting and challenging it would be to participate in so many battles in a small schedule, the referee felt impressed.

He turned to look at the other combatant and asked him.

"Are you ready?"

The man who was ignored by the kid showed a furious expression on his face but nonetheless politely replied to the referee.

"Yes, I'm ready.", his voice reeked of anger.

Nodding, the referee brought down the green flag he had raised this whole time while announcing the start of the battle.

"And the fight begins!"

Just when his words ended, Orkida dashed with his rapier to defeat his opponent but someone else was faster.

'Agility Burst!'

"That was so quick! Is he really at the zero rank?"

The crowd could hardly believe what they saw as the battle ended so fast that they could not even whistle or start to cheer looking at the fight.

Most of the people who were present in the audience wanted to call their friends to watch the battle of the recently famous newcomer, but they stood still in their position wondering how they could even explain what happened here.

Felix kept his short sword in the sheath and started walking back to the stairs that led him out of the arena.

With a thud, Orkida fell to his knees and stared at the back of his opponent with listless eyes.

"Did I just lose to a kid? That too within a few seconds?", he thought he was dreaming but the deep pain in his shoulders told him otherwise.

It was the first time in his life that he had ever been defeated so quickly in his whole time of fighting other warriors. The amount of shock he received today couldn't even come close to when his wife cheated on him.

The referee glanced at all this and shook his head as a strange gleam passed through his eyes.

'It looks like there'll be huge waves in the upcoming days of the arena...'

He looked at the fleeting back of the boy and thought about the more battles he had to participate in today.

'Crazy kid...'

Ignorant to the shock that he had spread among the public, Felix entered the underground path from the stage and stumbled putting his weight on the wall.

"Haa....haa...that was exhausting."

He stopped acting all strong and took in large amounts of air, calming down his beating heart.

Using the skill 'Agility Burst' had its own ups and downs.

But he wanted to end the quickly, so there was no other choice than to use the skill at the beginning of the match and finish it in a few seconds.

He knew it was a bit too much to have defeated his opponent in a mere moment, but the amount of fame he got from the battle was already a plus point.

Because the more people came to watch his battles, the more reward he would earn.

After a few seconds of relaxing, Felix was back to normal getting ready for his next match.

He exited from that arena and walked toward another arena a bit in the distance.

"There he is!"

Unbeknownst to him, there was a group of people who were searching for him all around the arena.

The group of people were from the crowd who had just watched his battle. A bit curious about him, they had decided to follow him and see what the boy who won so easily was about to do later.

And when they finally found him, they started trailing behind him toward his destination.
