Chapter 814 – The Finals III
"I would not set that in stone." Adrian stated.
"Why would you say that? Do you not think that the might of the Undead King is not enough to deal with Frey?" Marlon asked.
"Frey is a battle type player that excels in combat against humanoids as Valkyries are noted as Chooser of the Slain. There is barely any record of anyone escaping the grasp of Valkyries once they have set their eye on you.
They also have the protection of the Goddess Freyja which means that they will become stronger if the battle is longer. She is the perfect warrior in a battlefield. Creepysoo is of the necromancer class that excels in controlling undead, but he can only use his undead knights." Adrian stated.
"I guess. Anyways, how did the testing go?" Marlon asked as he is curious about the event tomorrow afternoon since his best friend is the main event.
"It went great and all function as expected. I will not tell you what will happen though. You need to wait for it tomorrow. Anyways, we should cheer for Kyungsoo as he would definitely be in the match that can launch his gaming career." Adrian stated as they sent words of encouragement in the group chat to motivate their friend.

"The time for the finals has now arrived! To think that we would have two of the teams reach the pinnacle of battle in one day. This goes to show that great ingenuity and teamwork can make or break a team.
Since it is the finals, the map will no longer be in the hands of the winner of the coin flip. It will be randomized by yours truly and will pick from the ballot on what arena they will be fighting on. Solo players please come to the stage!" The announcer stated.
The representatives for both teams walked to the middle of the stage. Frey and Ain both shook each other\'s hands as they walked to their respective gaming pods. The balls for the five stadiums for the ballot are then put inside the box as the announcer immediately picked the map.
"The arena would be the Stadium! Players get ready to greet the God of War!" The announcer stated as both Frey and Ain materialized in the stadium with Ares having a broad smile.
"Martial Sage Arts: Fox Hunt!" Ain suddenly activated and he vanished from his position.
Frey knew of this skill as it was the one that immediately killed an opponent. Now that she is on the receiving end, she cannot help but get ready. She suddenly felt the lingering presence of her death due to the skill given to Valkyries called Sense Death.
It is a skill that can sense a person that is about to die or their own coming deaths which is why Valkyries are always on their toes. If one can sense their impending demise, then they would likely train themselves to overcome their own deaths.
Frey felt that she will get killed by something coming from her back. She immediately swung her spear towards her back, but the presence of her death vanished. The sense of foreboding then switches to her side. She wanted to block but it seems that she is slower than her opponent.
Frey could nothing but twist her body in order to somewhat lessen the area of contact. She twisted her body unnaturally that she is also sent flying in a weird position when Ain\'s palms came in contact with her body.
"Seriously! Even Hou Yiwei is not that sharp when it comes to reflexes." Ain stated as his right hand is smeared in blood, but he could not target Frey\'s heart.
The Martial Sage Art: Fox Hunt is a skill that lets a person defy the perception of the target while boosting the speed of the user. It makes the area around the user remain the same despite Ain actually just running towards his target. It also gives him the Piercing buff for one attack which is why he always aims for the heart.
Ain is about to counterattack when a flag came dropping down in front of his fact that made him retreat a few steps. Frey is no longer playing as she used all the skills that she has already shown to the audience. Ain knew that Frey is thinking of finishing the battle as early as she can so that she will not show any of her cards.
"If that is the case then I will also go all out. Martial Sage Art: One with the World!" Ain stated as he made gliding motions in his place until his feet created a yin and yang symbol.
All the natural energies are then pulled towards him as his body glowed in this ethereal light that made him look like a god. The vambrace that she used also changed to those of foxes as a figure of a white fox appeared behind him as if blessing him for the fight.
Frey already activated all her skill, and she is now in full battle armor mode. She did not speak and just looked at the buffed Ain. Both of them charged against each other without much of a dialogue as if they understood each other to a degree.
As soon as both of them clashed, the area immediately became destroyed as numerous cracks formed on the floor with some parts of the stadium becoming destroyed. The smoke finally cleared and then saw that Frey\'s armor in her left hand is obliterated while an extremely wounded Ain is kneeling on the ground blood spurting from his mouth.
"To think that you were that powerful." Ain stated as he vanished into particles of light.
"The winner of the first solo match is none other than Frey!" The announcer stated as the crowd cheered for her once again.
A focus of the climax of their match is then replayed as the audience only saw one collision. Frey and Ain exchanged ten blows in a matter of a second.. In the end, Ain lost when it comes to defense and damage which made him lose this match.
