Now that the duel had finally reached the part involving those sitting in the top 10 rankings, the crowd beca more enthusiastic. So of them even stood up from their seats as they were cheering even more passionately.
It also needed to be noted that most of the audience were those that possessed magus realm cultivation, hence only the fights that were considered the most exciting could really move these people.
The next participant calmly made their way to the arena, and apparently, this person was a well-known one as a na began to be shouted by the crowd.
"Zetto the Berserker!"
[Rank 10 - Zetto (9)]
The man whose na was being cried out by the audience was even bigger and more muscular than Sigurd. The dark-skinned bald man wore nothing on his upper body than a large wooden beaded necklace.
At this mont, as he looked at his next opponent, Ery couldn't help but think that the man was the most terrifying acolyte he had ever t. In fact, he couldn't even believe the man was the sa age as him.
As his opponent had the sa test ranking score as him, Ery decided to start by checking the details of it.
[ntal Score 10310 - Rank 20]
[Physical Score Undefined- Rank 3]
Looking at the other party's physique, Ery knew the man would have a high physical score. What he didn't expect was that the man was the third strongest person in physical quality - two ranks higher than him, but still only rank 10 on the official leaderboard.
This revelation brought him so concern.
The fact that the people in the top 10 had been the sa for the last six months, and this terrifying-looking guy has been stuck at rank 10 ever since, made Ery seriously wonder how strong Arcana and the other eight people on the ranking really were.
A few seconds later, Ery shook his head. Enough ti was spent thinking and worrying about the other top 10, and Ery won't waste any more ti as he knew the most important thing for him right now was to start focusing on the one ahead of him.
After all, it would all be for naught if he was defeated by his current opponent.
Under the passionate shouts of the audience, Zetto walked onto the arena and upon arriving he imdiately pointed three of his fingers at Ery and said, "Three minutes!!" It was clear what his words ant, and he didn't even try to hide the disdain in his voice.
After saying that, he took out his battle axe. It was slightly smaller than the one used by Sigurd, but when swung, Ery could see it emitting a certain aura that slightly pricked his skin.
This top ranking fight allowed the participants to use up to Tier 5 weapons, hence Ery assud that the axe in Zetto's hand should be of the sa quality as his Savage Blade.
With all that was presented in front of him, Ery knew that he needed to show his best performance to defeat this opponent. The blood within his body started to boil, as he activated his strongest transformation.
[Night Transformation]
[Battle power increased by 70 points]
[Battle Howl]
[Battle power increased by 15 points]
Howl—
[Immortal Gate - stage 5]
[Battle power increased by 32]
[Battle Power: 244 (361)]
Ery's body swiftly transford to the half-wolf half-man state, with black fur covering parts of his body. As the [Immortal Gate] took effect and a faint layer of energy engulfed his entire body, Ery brandished his sword forward ready to go all in at any mont.
Seeing Ery's current black, instead of the previous silver fur transformation, made Zetto open his mouth and comnt, "It seems you didn't use all your strength against that weak Sigurd." A look of contemplation flashed on his face for a mont, before he raised another finger. "Four minutes!"
Ery was not intimidated by Zetto's actions, definitely not in his Night Wolf form. He chuckled while thinking to himself what the man's expression would look like after he beat him.
"Let's go!"
Saying those words, Ery initiated this duel by casting [Blink], disappearing and reappearing right behind Zetto. The sword in his hand was already moving towards the man's back, coated in the luster of [Heroic Slash].
However, Zetto seed to have predicted the attack as he imdiately turned around, his expression calm. The man moved so fast that Ery didn't even notice when he had swung his battle axe in such a way that it would parry his sword perfectly.
CLANKKK!!
Unfortunately, Ery's attempt was fruitless. His sword was stopped by Zetto's axe, and the clash that ensued between the two managed to make the two of them take a few steps back.
"Again!!'
Ery cast [Blink] once again, this ti appearing to the man's right side. In an instant, the [36 Dao Divine Technique] revealed itself and directly jumped into the fifth stage variations. Faint images of mysterious runes began appearing around Ery's body, as waves of sword slashes flooded the Berserker.
Clankk!! Clankk!! Clank!!
Successive loud sounds rang in the air as Zetto dealt with every attack Ery sent over. Despite his large fra, the man was moving very fast and each swing that connected to his sword delivered a force so heavy that it almost blew Ery's feet from the ground.
However, thanks to the trendous increase of battle power from his transformation, Ery was able to keep up with the other party. In fact, the Berserker seed to be the one being suppressed.
Clankk!! Clank!! Clank!!
Splatt!
After perhaps dozens or so of exchanges, Ery finally managed to land a hit on Zetto. He was surprised to see that a direct contact with a Tier 5 sword only made such a shallow scratch on the latter's body. Not even a drop of blood was seen spilled.
That was definitely one of the advantages of possessing the Titan's bloodline. Innate super strength and indestructible body; no wonder this race was really sought after by many factions throughout the universe.
[Blink]
Even so, Ery also had his own advantages in mobility and strength, especially the forr.
Coupled with how Sigurd had previously helped him get used to fighting soone wielding an axe, Ery knew that now he just needed to be steady and keep this up. One scratch at a ti, and eventually, the huge man would fall.
BAAMM!!
A loud dull sound resounded in the air, when Zetto tried to lock Ery's sword with his ax, but knowing better, the latter swiftly countered with a kick before the forr proceeded to lay his attempt.
The Berserker's body was pushed backwards, stumbling and almost fell, by Ery's powerful kick.
There was a slight pause in the fierce battle following this exact exchange, and as the two raised their heads to face each other, Ery opened his mouth.
"Four minutes have passed… but you still haven't beaten ."
Unexpectedly, Zetto chuckled when he heard that. Under Ery's confused look, the bald man also opened his mouth.
"Who said anything about defeating you in four minutes?"
Hearing that, Ery was about to laugh at the man's comnt because he thought the latter was trying to avoid embarrassnt. But then, he realized that he was wrong.
Before Ery could say anything, Zetto suddenly grabbed the wooden bead necklace around his neck and tore it off. In the blink of an eye, trendous pressure swept over Ery as Zetto's body surged with power; so powerful that many spectators jumped to their feet and started cheering.
"FINALLY! We finally got to see the Berserker Fury today!!!"
A realization dawned upon Ery. It turned out that 'four minutes' Zetto said was the amount of ti the man gave Ery to attack and injure him before he displayed his true strength.
