V52C6P4 – Weed and Bard RayON JANUARY 29, 2019 BY MIMOSAB Thanks to all proofreaders who worked on this part: Armada, TysonSlayer, EvilSanta1423, PuszekSE, Seb, Seviper9 & Auryum .

Weed and Bard Ray . The ones who were leading characters within the history of Royal Road were now facing one another again on the Garnav Plains .

‘I will take revenge for Taloc’s Armor of Faith with added interest . ’ ‘Weed . In the end, you have made it this far . To be competing against me for the supremacy of The Versailles continent… I should have stomped you sooner . ’ Weed’s appearance was that of Orc Karichwi . He had broad shoulders . His muscles that showed through his armor were sharp and defined like a lethal blade .

*Gallop-gallop* Bard Ray approached slowly while on his renowned horse Suart . The users spread out beyond a radius of 800 metres so that the two could fight to their heart’s content .

“So, we finally meet . ” Bard was the one to spark the conversation .

“I wanted to fight you again someday . ” He had the composure of being the strongest being across the Versailles continent .

‘I acknowledge your combat senses and courage . However, according to the analysis report, you are only at early 500 levels . You and I are in different weight classes . ’ Bard Ray was certain of his own victory .

“Krrg, Shhk!” Weed treaded closer while spitting nasal sounds . His body was huge, about the same height as Bard Ray on his horse! With each step that he took, the tension heightened . Weed stopped at around 10 metres .

“Enough with words . Sshhhk . Draw your weapon . ” “Indeed . I also did not want to drag on the conversation . Let us prove who is stronger in front of all who stand witness . ” They pulled out their swords almost simultaneously .

“Finally…” “They are fighting!” Shoud, Gunt, Roam, Mihel, and Kalis . The heads of the noble guilds knew that this battle would settle the composition of power .

‘This is practically the Arpen Kingdom’s victory . ’ ‘Even if Bard Ray wins… the war is lost . ’ ‘Could he win against Weed? It doesn’t seem like Weed will lose . But then again, Bard Ray would be stronger in terms of combat level alone…’‘I should have been the one standing in that arena . ’ ‘God of War Weed . The Godly Warrior Bard Ray . Never again will there be a match on Royal Road like this one . ’ High rankers within the top 1,000 including these individuals were focused on this duel . They were about to witness what true strength looked like . The victor would reign for ages as the strongest of the Versailles continent . In addition, they wanted to observe the kinds of skills and battle styles .

“Hmm . Honestly, I wanted to be the one to fight Bard Ray . ” Roam made cracking sounds as he stretched his neck .

“If it weren’t for the glory of the Hermes guild, Bard Ray would have been one of the nameless common users . ” Gunt pulled out his sword and swiped the blade with his finger .

“Bard Ray . My sword is crying . I only hope, that in the unlikely case of Weed’s defeat, I’ll get the chance to fight him myself . ” Mihel also did not want to yield to the others .

“I have thoroughly analyzed Bard Ray’s weaknesses until now . I just couldn’t get the chance to confront him because he always dragged his bodyguards with him . I was going to strike when the Hermes guild weakened . ” As Shoud pondered about what he should say, a random user tapped his shoulder .

“You guys there are being noisy . Keep it down . ” “Hmm? Who do you think I am…?” Shoud and the heads of the noble guilds put on an intimidating look on their faces . Their pride was unbending even after having withdrawn away from the Central continent .

“These fools don’t know their place . ” They turned around slowly and saw Geomchi with around 300 apprentices by his side .

“What? You got something to say?”

Bard Ray thought to himself .

‘There is no such thing as a fair battle in Royal Road . ’ Poison, magic and unique curses are allowed . Utilizing hidden treasures or equipment were all dependant on the skill of the individual . The people will only cheer for the victor .

‘Given my current state, I couldn’t lose even if I wanted to . ’ Bard Ray knew after his talk with Lafaye that the tides of war had turned against him .

“We don’t have a future . We will collapse whether we are victorious or defeated . ” “Then what should we do?”“Though it would be better to win than lose . Don’t drag on the attrition and instead engage in a duel with Weed himself . ” “Will he accept?” “Who knows . But, hope only lies in the battle between Bard Ray-nim and Weed . If not, the entire ranks of the Central continent will charge at us . ” Roam, Kalis and the other noble guild heads . The infamous users of the central continent were eager to fight Bard Ray .

‘Even if I were to be defeated, I can’t die to some small fry . I will show them clearly what kind of being I am . ’ Bard Ray wanted to protect his glorifying title Godly Warrior even if the Haven Empire were to fall to ruins . Until his last moments, he wanted to show that no one can stand in his way .

‘I need to defeat Weed . Only then I can rest on my title as the Godly Warrior . ’ The Black Knight has never-ending suspicion . The Black Knight is anxious . The Black Knight does not trust anyone . The Black Knight grasps for great power . Class attributes that have been unlocked after the Black knight had become emperor . Combat skills increased as he murders loyal subordinates .

‘I sacrificed 7 legions of the royal knights . Hence… I am invincible . ’ He felt overwhelmingly more powerful than usual .

The Black knight’s weakness . The weakness was his subordinates causing a rebellion, but he was past that stage . He was blessed by the gods of every religious order and equipped with the best equipment .

‘At my current state, I could pummel down monsters of level 800s to 900s . ’ I fear nothing . I will gush out everything that I’ve got . Even if destruction awaits me at the last step that I take .

‘Until the very last moment . I will take down Weed and all that opposes me one by one . That will be an unparalleled achievement . ’

“Violent charge!” Bard Ray began to charge riding on Suart . Suart reached its maximum speed in just several gallops kicking against the earth .

“Ssshhk!” Weed took him straight on, lifted his Loa sword then struck with all his might .

*Clang*

Along with the metal shrill, both sides staggered . < Unbearable Strike! Health points decreased by 4,281 by an enemy’s charge . All stats decreased by 3% for 14 seconds . >

Even with the Loa sword and Sky ruler’s armor set, an astonishing shock passed through . Bard Ray also got a message alert .

< Clash of blunt strength! A shockwave that trembles the soul . Health points decreased by 891 . Paralysis effects for 4 seconds and physical conditions temporarily weakened . Suart absorbs a portion of the damage . >

‘Godly warrior Bard Ray . He is as powerful as expected . ’ Weed took a couple of steps back . Bard Ray swung his sword 3 more times on his horse, but every single strike was deflected . Even so, he could feel the immense force behind them .

‘His level is estimated to be around 600… Several pieces of equipment are unidentified . ’ He was beyond an expert when it came to Royal Road, but even he saw many of the equipment for the very first time . Both were fully stacked with equipment!

‘I have transformed into Orc Karichwi, but cannot defend lightly . His abnormally high stats and blessings like the surging strength of the War God Batali cult are all bestowed to him . ’ He could make out a rough estimate . Weed built up affiliation and contribution with several cults throughout his adventures . Bard Ray used his authority, status and wealth as the emperor of the Haven Empire to gain the support of many cults .

‘To be pushed back in a frontal strike… I could have been at a huge physical disadvantage if it weren’t for the Orc Karichwi transformation . ’ He had gained immense stats through his adventures and sculptural techniques . That was his strength when he faced other users, but Bard Ray had also stacked incredible stats through his combat achievements . Ever since Royal Road was unveiled, he had hunted only boss level monsters with his guild members . After Melbourne mines, he united the Central continent and focused solely on battles which certainly made him stronger .

“Another sword, glorious pact . Sword of Nature . ” He became faster and swung more powerful blows with each additional attack . This sweet skill is similar to the Heraim Fencing skill but combat skill that automatically activates for 30 attacks even if they missed the opponent!

‘Level, equipment, spells . All are almost at perfection . ’

Arrays of attacks after another . Weed blocked or deflected them .

After a light exchange of attacks, three secret sword techniques were activated simultaneously . Bard Ray’s great sword was enveloped with blazing flames .

‘Another round . ’ Weed locked his two feet on solid ground and endured .

*Clang Clang Clang*

Bard Ray charged again, and swords sparked viciously . Fireballs flung everywhere, and shockwaves pushed back Weed’s body each time . Glorious Pact is a skill that triples the user’s combat strength temporarily . Sword of Nature imbues more than one nature attribute per attack . Bard Ray’s attacks transformed into myriad of elements like fire, wind, water, earth and ice . He was sliced by sharp winds and pummeled by jets of water . Firm grounds split suddenly, and the surroundings would freeze . On top of all this, another sword was flying through the air aiming for his side and rear .

Additional damage is taken by the opponent’s quick attacks . Damage is accumulating! Health points decreased by 3,381 . >

‘This is pretty excruciating . If it weren’t for the armor this would have hurt a lot . ’ Weed smirked . When Weed transformed into Orc Karichwi, he assumed that he would be over the edge in terms of physical abilities, but he was wrong . The power of the attacks and the level at which Bard Ray exercised them were superb . He also synced well with his horse Suart, allowing him to fall back a great distance when Weed counterattacked .

‘The combination of his skills is good . He can’t be compared back to the time at Melbourne mines . I saw some of the recent footages, but it seems he did not show his true abilities . ’ One of the many ways of demeaning Bard Ray was calling him the Last Hit . It meant that he would swing the last attack to finish off a boss level monster that has been taken down by the Hermes guild . Compared to Weed who creates results with his own hands, this could seem very low and insignificant . However, one could feel just how powerful he is once they faced him directly .

“Destruction Strike, Revolving Hack, Spell Burst, Executioner!” Bard Ray continued his relentless assault by activating consecutive skills .

“Tyrant Frenzy!” Even so, Bard Ray’s attacks were in forms that were impossible to stop completely .
