"A newbie," PhantomDragon_2077 slurped, saying, "Today seems to be my lucky day!"

In the arena, opponents could see each other's basic information. Emrys was able to see his opponent's information, and the opponent could do the same.

"Please, The_Shadow_That_Yawns, don’t hold back. Since you’re a beginner, let me give you some advice. Although this is only a virtual battle, it’s still a battle of life and death. The fight only ends when one of us dies or admits defeat," PhantomDragon_2077 said seriously.

Then, a mocking smile crept onto his face. "And I... I'm not going to stop until I kill you. I’ll let you experience what death feels like. You’ll need to get used to it, after all. Hahaha!"

Emrys knew that the other party had already made up his mind to kill him.

Why?

It was likely an attempt to create a psychological shadow within him. Many people liked to dominate the weak, crush their pride, and shatter their confidence, especially in a place like this where fear and despair could linger long even after the battle ended.

To such people, it wasn't just about winning.

It was about breaking the spirits of their opponent.

Emrys took a deep breath.

At first, he only wanted to experience a battle. But now, his eyes gradually turn cold.

"A battle of life and death, huh?"

"Then let’s see whose will breaks first."

Emrys stopped speaking. He knew that anything more he said would seem like he was afraid.

On the other hand, the crowd felt a little incredulous. It’s not every day they get to watch a battle between a newbie and a veteran. Although real-life experience can play a vital role in battles between experts, the crowd tends to support only those whose strength they've witnessed with their own eyes.

Emrys was a complete unknown, and no one had any idea about his abilities. Whereas, even if many didn't personally know PhantomDragon_2077, they could at least see his battle record. That alone was enough to give them confidence that PhantomDragon_2077 would easily defeat The_Shadow_That_Yawns.

What made the match even more thrilling was the fact that both contenders were Fourth-tier War Lords.

At this time, the countdown began and soon, it was time for them to fight.

"Hey, newbie, I'm going to make a move," PhantomDragon_2077 said with a smile.

Emrys nodded: "PhantomDragon, go ahead. Make your move."

As soon as the words fell, PhantomDragon_2077 stepped out quickly, his figure like the wind approaching Emrys, and then a high leg swept over.

The speed made the crowd's hearts tremble.

Emrys didn't feel anything. He took a step back to dodge, and then took a step forward. The moment he approached the opponent, he punched PhantomDragon_2077 in the waist.

Bang!

With a bang, Emrys felt a huge resistance and then quickly retreated.

It was a defensive weapon.

It was at this moment Emrys realized that people could use their weapons or armor in the battle as well. In that case, he should also have the Violet Tempest Battle Armor on his body.

He hurriedly checked, and it turned out, indeed, his armor was still on his body even in this virtual world.

At this time, PhantomDragon_2077 laughed loudly. He stepped forward and quickly approached Emrys, with wind blades whistling around him.

Emrys indeed made a newbie mistake this time. He let his attention shift from the battle. So, by the time he realized PhantomDragon_2077 had already attacked, he couldn't dodge, and a wind blade scratched his cheek.

Emrys touched his cheek. Although he didn't feel pain, he did feel something vanishing from his body. It wsa a tiny amount of vitality.

He was shocked, not expecting to experience such a feeling. He could not help but wonder, but this was not the time to let his attention go somewhere else again. He didn't dare to be careless anymore.

The PhantomDragon_2077 again pounced him. He jumped and used his leg to attack Emrys's head, wanting to blow off his head.

Seeing the other party coming over, Emrys didn't retreat this time but advanced. Mystic energy condensed in his hand, and a formidable power burst out. Then he punched the person coming at him.

PhantomDragon_2077's leg had also arrived.

Bang!

Emrys's fist hit PhantomDragon_2077's foot, and a terrifying power burst out.

Following that, both of them retreated under inertia.

But PhantomDragon_2077 was different from him; he was knocked away from the ground.

In the instant before he landed, Emrys forcibly stopped his steps and took another step forward. He punched out again. This time, the fist landed on the other party's waist, sending the person flying out with a bang.

Crack!

PhantomDragon_2077 felt his bones break, but the pain in his body and the inability to fight back made him fearful.

At this time, Emrys no longer held back. Mystic Energy condensed on his hand again, and he came to PhantomDragon_2077 and punched down.

PhantomDragon_2077, who originally wanted to turn the tables, was stunned. He felt that this fist was heavier than a mountain. If it landed on him like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The defensive weapon on his body could only defend against the enemy once and needed time to perform a second time.

"No, I admit..."

He shouted, wanting to admit defeat, but Emrys turned a deaf ear and punched down with all his strength before PhantomDragon_2077 could utter the word "defeat".

Bang!

As he punched, a roar sounded, and the fist hit PhantomDragon_2077's chest firmly.

Crack!

Puff!

The fist went further down the body. Simultaneously, a depression appeared on PhantomDragon_2077's flat chest instantly.

Puff!

"Arghhhh!"

The great pain made PhantomDragon_2077 crazy. He could not help but let out a miserable cry.

Initially, the two were evenly matched. But suddenly, the battle tilted to one side.

The change was so rapid that the crowd was caught off guard.

One moment they were marveling at PhantomDragon_2077's strength, and the next they were hearing his miserable screams.
