"Round two? Haha, you wish! Your end is here!" Kevlar muttered, identifying Nash’s position and attacked.
Without these weird entities, he felt Nash was an ant he could crush in his fingers.
However, thinking Nash still had so trump cards, Kevlar still braced himself and stayed cautious.
Sure enough, before his attack landed on Nash, all the weird entities flashed toward him, exploding in a mighty manner.
Boom!
With the explosion of elents, the arena seed to crumble into dust, disintegrating everything.
In the center of it, Nash was unaffected, as if everything was a re wind ruffling his clothes.
On the other hand, Kevlar, in the center of the attack, began to sustain all the damage of the explosion.
Fortunately, wary of Nash, he’d held back on his attack, ready to defend himself at any mont.
Bracing himself from all the damage, Kevlar was able to survive.
"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~ What now? Do you still have any cards to play?" Kevlar asked in utter exhaustion.
Although his body was about to fall apart, his strength was still massively beyond Nash’s.
Not having any of the elental Celestial Beasts, coupled with the corrosion of elents, Nash was already at his wits’ end.
Without using the [Overlimit Module System], his loss was already a certainty.
"You’re strong..." Nash sighed, looking at Kevlar.
He thought his final attack was enough to take down Kevlar. Nash didn’t expect he would still have energy at the last mont.
Not wanting to lose, Nash turned toward his two remaining Celestial Beasts: the Void Core and the Soul Core.
One was like the moon, giving endless energy. The other, the sun, giving endless warmth.
Having already tried rging with the Soul Celestial Beast in the past, he knew how insane the power it could bring.
As for the Void Celestial Beast, besides rging with it the ti when it was still the size of a fist, Nash hadn’t had the chance to try its power since then.
"Let’s see what you can bring..."
Summoning the Void Celestial Beast, condensed from 1 million percent power of void, a shadow suddenly eclipsed the arena.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Looking at the ghastly shadow that towered over him, Kevlar couldn’t help but instinctively tremble.
It was not out of fear, but his primal instinct, the reverence to the primordial power of the universe!
Although this was the Virtual World, he felt even his body in reality would be affected.
"I surrender!"
Trusting his senses, Kevlar quickly gave up.
[Winner: Noir (03805)]
[Match ti: 12 min 42 sec]

[Total Earnings: 2.8 million Chrono]
[Win: 3 Loss: 0 Draw: 0]
[Placent Match (3/3)]
"It’s over just like that?" Not only was Nash shocked, everyone in the stands was too.
Just when the battle was about to turn fever pitch, Kevlar surrendered? It made them feel as if a bone had been stuck in their throats.
They were also curious about what power the black, shadowy thing that suddenly appeared held.
Protected by the Chronos Arena’s barrier, besides the visual feast, they didn’t feel any pressure from the battle.
"I didn’t expect Kevlar would just lose like this."
"Tsk! I lost a lot. I thought Kevlar could easily defeat this Noir with his massive advantage!"
"No, this must be a fixed match! How could a Void Venerate win against a fighter at Bronze 75?!"
"Indeed, it’s too fake! Damn, I’ve lost a fortune!"
"Haha, a bunch of idiots! Why gamble against the obvious? You should’ve voted for Noir!"
"Hahaha, that’s right. With those kinds of odds, even if you bet a little, you could earn a fortune!"
The ratio between Nash and Kevlar betting odds was 10,000 to 1.1.
With such a high return rate, those daring and bored bet a few tens or hundreds on Nash, thus winning fortunes.
Winning such fortunes, they quickly added Noir to their must-watch list, planning to gamble another ti.
Even those who lost tuned in, wanting to see another miracle.
---
anwhile, in the lobby, Nash spiralled to the ground, breathing heavily as he digested the earlier battle.
From his recklessness, misjudgnts, and ultimately, his final attack that did nothing but put him at risk.
Having been too used to fighting Dark Beasts, he was a little unused to fighting another intelligent being.
While reckless attacks could kill Dark Beasts efficiently, the sa couldn’t be said for others.
Without the [Combat Module System] to rely on, he was finding it lacking against fellow humans.
Of course, it was mostly because of the vast difference in their strength.
Otherwise, Nash had no problem defeating anyone just with his legendary combat ability.
Against individuals at a higher level, on the other hand, Nash still had to develop various skillful attacks.
Besides his Celestial Beast substitute skill, he had conceived earlier, all attacks in his arsenal were too common and ordinary.
"It seems I still have many things to learn!" Nash smiled, facing the new challenge.
Because he didn’t have any worthy opponents, Nash hadn’t been able to develop his skills in battle.
As long as he dodged and hit his enemy, what more could he ask for?
However, dealing with stronger foes who could think and adapt, it was not enough.
Besides the regular bullets he used in battle, he also needed to develop special ones to handle any situation.
"It seems I need to put the Chronos Arena on my regular schedule."
Such a perfect place to develop and test his ideas, Nash would naturally not let it go.
Setting a new task in his mind, Nash began to rest while thinking of the Void Celestial Beast earlier.
Besides its brimming power, he noticed sothing different.
It seed more primal, as if an ancient beast waking from its slumber.
Although Nash wasn’t able to test its power, he felt it could even influence the Virtual World.
"Why was there no warning? Could it be one could really kill in this virtual world?" Nash frowned.
If the Void Celestial Beast could cause harm, could others also kill him?
Not receiving any warning or notification from the earlier event, Nash felt the Virtual Realm was becoming more real and dangerous.
"Is this place really just a simulation for us to play with?"
