Overlord: Origin

Chapter 20

After he disappeared in the preparation room, he re-appears in a large circular arena.


It's the same as the white room in the elimination rounds but this time, it's surrounded by waters. It doesn't have any land that anyone could step on other than the big circle arena in the middle.


The purpose of this stage was to restrict the movement of the battling players. Unlike in elimination rounds where one can run around as much as they want, here once they step outside the circle and fall into the waters, they're automatically disqualified, in other terms, they lost.



But still, the circle is quite big, there's still a lot of space to run and room to dodge. Falling outside the arena by accident is near impossible unless you did it on purpose or you were blown away by your opponent.

"... Well, I like this more."

What Yuki hates the most is an opponent that likes to run around instead of fighting head-on. Yuki commends the awareness, but still, he's pretty annoyed by it.

So with this much-constricted stage, going against those kinds of opponents will be less annoying than it used to be.

"... But I guess that I won't have that kind of problems with this guy." Yuki said as he looks in front to see his supposed to be opponent.


His opponent is wearing a Full Armor that's bulkier than what Yuki wears. It's pure silver with a bit of gold in the designs. He is holding a platinum-colored sword in his right hand and a golden shield on the left.

Just by looking, one can see that this Player is a fighter. The one that likes to face everything head-on at that.

"... So he is that Paladin guy huh." Yuki muttered as he remember that earlier, from the list, he saw someone that looks to be a paladin.

*TUUTT!*

A couple of seconds after that, a timer suddenly appears above them.


[ 9 ]

[ 8 ]

....

(AN: I will be calling his opponent "Human" here since I'm very creative.)

Yuki didn't look at the timer anymore and just focus on his opponent.

The Human also did the same as it looks straight towards Yuki and put up a stance. He positioned his shield in front and raise the sword in the corner. From his stance, it looks like he will immediately rush towards Yuki once the round starts.


".. An aggressive one huh." Yuki chuckled lightly when he saw this as he likes to fight a pretty straightforward opponent, cause those types tend to die faster.

After this, Yuki did the same as he also put his Spear in front and do a stance.

*IIIINNGG!*


The moment when the round starts, both of them vanished from their spots and rush towards each other.



Yuki was the one who takes the first action as he immediately raised the spear above his head and swing it hard down towards the Human.


The Human saw this and raise the shield above to block Yuki's attack.


*TSENG!*


A loud noise had rung when Yuki's spear and Human's shield collided, but Yuki didn't take any breather as he immediately raises his right foot and delivers a strong kick towards the unguarded stomach area of the Human.


".. Aah." The human groaned as he steps back a couple of times due to Yuki's kick.

But it doesn't look like Yuki's done with his attacks.

".. HAH!"

He made an immediate follow-up by swinging his spear hard towards the Human, again...

"... Ugk."

The Human saw Yuki's attack and position his shield in front to block it again, but this time, something different happened.

*Swiiooshh!*

Yuki's spear suddenly flickered and changes direction halfway through the attack, shifting the direction towards the Human's left leg.


The Human managed to make a single step back to avoid it but the spear was too long that it still reached him.
