Rebirth: Traversing The Myriad Planes - Chapter 322

Two figures could now be seen hovering quite a ways above the coliseum like building. All around them stood a multitude of different colored forests, as if it were a rainbow, with rivers crisscrossing through them that had its water matching their color.

The figure one the right was flapping his wings the air. Nao could flap his wings to stay flying if he wanted to as well, but given his massive MP pool by now, he could stay in the sky with Fly for years on end. Who was against Nao was Peroroncino of course! And he was his first opponent!

Both sides took action immediately. Nao fired off a few buff chants.

“Life Essence, Greater Magic Boost, Greater Full Potential!”, Nao started his chants, letting three different colored auras wrap his body.

“Oh no you don’t! Life Essence! Tri Darkness Arrow!”, Peroroncino yelled out, also casting one spell and one skill back to back.

Both could now see their enemy’s hp after their information vanished when the battle began. This display is permanent too so it’s handy to activate it at the start of battle to keep watch over it.

The dark violet mana arrow formed in his bow shot out at a fast speed, and magically split into three different arrows that rushed straight toward Nao. However as if they had a will of their own, two of the three suddenly changed trajectory, firing off at each of his sides.

Nao only put up a defensive stance to take the three arrows. He wanted to test them out to see if they would get nullified by his low damage barrier. Later on in Yggdrasil, players could unlock passive barriers that blocks against low and mid tier spells and skills. Even weapons could be rendered useless. Darkness Arrow was a lower tier skill. Yet to his surprise, after Nao heard whooshing noises, he saw three cracks appear in his shield, allowing the three arrows to penetrate. This left three small rainbow lights on body while the violet lights vanished from sight.

Peroroncino let out a grin emote, seeing his arrows connect through a damage nullification barrier. He saw Nao’s health drop about 20% of his life bar from this one attack.

“Heh, bet you weren’t expecting that now, were you False Angel. You know, Guild Leader Momonga isn’t the only monster in our Guild.”

“I know. All of you are in your own way. So you can inflict true damage even without the assistance of spells, huh? This is going to be annoying.”

“So you actually find something annoying. Well, that was just a welcome gift, hahaha! I know you got that stupid lamp of yours in reserve too. No matter how many lives that flimsy piece of metal gives you, I’ll take them down!”

“We’ll see about that. Indomitability, Body of Effulgent Aquamarine, False Detect, Perfect Unknowable!”, Nao yelled out with consecutive chants once more. He tapped the icons through his console rapidly. More colored auras appeared around his body.

Indomitability granted an invisible barrier of sorts that didn’t allow one to detect a presence through conventional vision. Body of Effulgent Aquamarine reduces piercing affects and damage to his body, and arrows fit that category. False Detect didn’t allow one to detect him while his presence was hidden, and Perfect Unknowable was a ninth tier spell that erased his presence, altogether, making him essentially invisible and another would have hard time undoing it.

Seeing these chants link up together, Peroroncino let out a frown emote. He soon saw Nao become shrouded in a white mist, before his body started to bend itself in the light. It vanished from sight.

“Sensor Boost, Perfect Vision!”, Peroroncino yelled out, allowing his body to be wrapped in a yellow aura. He then drew back his bow, ready to take another shot. His pupils changed colors to that of yellow as well. He hadn’t stopped moving around either, if one stayed still in a one on one match, they would become an easy target. As he flew around with his bow ready, Peroroncino scanned his surroundings. Sure enough, even with boosted sight, he found no figure around him…

“Tch, playing hard to get, are we?”, Peroroncino complained, but kept it cool. He constantly scanned his surroundings, waiting for any minute change in the atmosphere. Whether it be it back down in the arena or up above, his eyes were like a hawk.

His arrow formed another arrow, this time it was a mixture of blue and green. Screeching air whipped up around it, forming rings of wind.

An eerie moment passed in silence as leaves blew around him in the screeching wind. With his wings fluttering, he shot out, launching the arrow at a super fast speed.

“There! Maximize Widen Magic, Azure Blast!”, Peroroncino yelled out, taking aim toward the right. A piercing light trailed in the sky, and before him a huge blast of blue and green burst open, creating a large echo. The range widened as well, encompassing his whole right side. BOOM!

Yet despite this massive explosion that stirred up dust, no figure could be seen. It appeared he missed his target. Peroroncino would feel chills run up is spine if he could, but unfortunately the sense of feels were one of the senses banned in Yggdrasil. He then heard a whisper reach his ear.

“You were close. If I was a second too late, you would have gotten me.”, Nao said, coming from behind him.

“From behind!?”, Peroroncino responded. He sped forward and turned around, only to see Nao materialize. He did not see any chanting from him, only to see Nao extend his right hand out. A mana circle overlapping three times emerged. Space around him started to crackle and boom. All of a sudden three bursts of blue lightning shot out from his spell. While he did not chant it, it was Call Greater Thunder enhanced with Maximize, Triplet and Silence magic!

It tore through its path, hitting Peroroncino from the top down. His whole body lit up in a blue light as he was shocked by the three bursts of lightning. Powerful echoes tore through the air around them.

“Shit, Silencing Moon!”, Peroroncino yelled out once more as he took on massive damage. As his HP dropped rapidly, he formed an arrow with the size like none of his others. It was gigantic and it appeared like it would fall out of his bow, but didn’t. He had to reach his arm all the way up to pull the bowstring back all the way. He shot it with breathtaking speed too, and it also appeared faster. It was pitch black with purple rings circling it.

After it was shot out, a black circle appeared on Nao’s chest as if it became a target. It ripped the sky at breathtaking speed. It arrived at Nao in no time, but just as it was about to pierce him, Nao let out another chant.

“Greater Teleportation!”, Nao chanted. His body then vanished from sight, letting the arrow screech against the air without a target. Nao reappeared within a close range of Perorocino.

“Now you’re up close, huh? I dominate with my range but I’m no slouch in close range either. Also that arrow I just shot is special!”

“Eh?”

Raising his left hand, Perorocino flicked it, and the gigantic black arrow suddenly swerved, changing its trajectory. It now rushed at Nao’s back, creating another target on his back. Perorocino raised his left hand, and a triple red mana circle extended out.

“Maximize magic, Vermillion Nova!”, Peroroncino yelled out, suddenly casting a tenth tier spell.

“Greater Teleportation!”, Nao suddenly casted as well, vanishing from sight again. Yet the arrow changed trajectory once again, targeting from down below. A huge ball of fire started forming in Perorocino’s mana circle. It shot out with a fervor. Yet Nao acted quickly with a chant of his own, raising both of his palms.

“Twin Maximize Widen Magic, Gabriel!”, Nao yelled out. He saw his MP drain even more as he casted these two 10th tier spells. He had an insane MP pool but the more he casted the quicker it drained.

Two huge water geysers materialized, shooting directly downward. Its range was super wide thanks to Widen magic, and both Vermillion Nova and Silencing Moon paled in comparison. The flames of Vermillion Nova collided against one of the geyser’s, creating steam everywhere. The second one crushed Silencing Moon into pixels and shot right at Peroroncino.

‘Holy Hell, just how much MP does this bastard have to keep firing off those enchanted spells!? Is this the end…?’, Peroroncino cursed in his heart. ‘Why did this have to be the first round? Well at least he’s strong, so if my sister is really seeing him, I guess I could…’, he continued to say inwardly.

As he did, he accepted his fate. Even if he could teleport the water geyser was big enough to span the range of the arena itself. He was surprised his Vermillion Nova even cancelled one of the two out, despite their size difference In just a few seconds he was blasted by an insanely strong current. His vision became water as his body shook, and he saw his health drop rapidly.

Several seconds passed until the water soaked the arena, turning it into a mini lake. Peroroncino created a platform on top of it, but couldn’t stand, seeing his health now below 10%. Nao ended his Fly spell, switching to his wings to fly. He slowly flapped over to Peroroncino.

“Looks like you took quite a bit of damage their, heh.”

“And here comes the mocking. I couldn’t even bring you down enough to use that stupid lamp! Your build must be pretty specialized.”

“Let’s just say I have high MP so I don’t need to rely on it too much. But I’m not mocking you, during our exchanges you almost got me.”

“Almost doesn’t cut it though. Just finish me off.”

“Sure you don’t want to try any last effort?”

“Nah, I know when I’m beat. I’m not up for an attrition match. Quick, simple and destructive.”

“Hahaha! I like that too. Tell Momonga I give him my regards, you can also expect an invitation to come to my home soon. I’ll notify Buku.”

“Just so you know, I haven’t fully accepted you yet.”

Hearing that, Nao didn’t say anything else and only let out a smile emote.

Nao started to do a crossing motion with his arms.

“Triplet Maximize Magic, Reality slash!”, Nao yelled out with another chant. No spell circles formed out of this, just that space started to bend around Nao.

“T-that is–!?”, Peroroncino tried to yell out, but only saw three silvery white arcs of light come slashing right at him. The moment they struck his body, three large rainbow gashes appeared on his body. His body then appeared as if it cracked in half, before turning into pixels.

Peroroncino’s remaining health depleted and lost his match against Nao in the first round! Seeing him no longer in the arena, Nao saw that he received a system notification.

<<Player Metatron has defeated Player Peroroncino in the World Champion Tournament. Player Metatron advances to the top 256!>>

Seeing that, Nao let out a smile emote as the arena began to distort around him, as if it were auto repairing itself.

‘That was a first surprising match but that is still one down. Seven to go.’, Nao spoke to himself.

The next match soon start!
