Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player - Chapter 591: Shock

Chapter 591: Shock

“Three moves…..Just three” Leo said, wagging three fingers near his forehead in the purest display of shithousery that he could muster.

Slowly, he backed away from PinkLotus, his smug smile still plastered on his face, as he left PinkLotus to contemplate the events that led to her loss.

In all fairness, the contest between himself and PinkLotus was way tougher than he would care to admit, however, since he was the victor today, none of those hardships really mattered.

Because of her bold declaration, where she promised to hit his face, he had already anticipated the thrusting attack that she would make aiming for his cheeks and the only reason he could secure victory so easily was because when she did, he was already prepared to counter it.

However, in terms of pure strength and skill prowess, she was undoubtedly stronger than him, while he outshined her in speed and versatility.

If he fought her 10 times, there was a high chance that he could kill her 6/10 times. However, she was capable enough to defeat him 4/10 times.

An undeniably gifted fighter, she was a prodigy on her own and had the potential to surpass him in strength if she kept improving as rapidly as she was.

‘I made a foolish mistake…. I became too cocky and thought that I had the upperhand in this fight…. I should not have aimed for his face’ PinkLotus realized in hindsight, as she felt stupid for making such a mistake.

Currently, she lacked the maturity of a seasoned fighter, as being a solo player who had never participated in a major tournament, she did not have the same experience sparring against other players like Leo did.

All of her combat experience was based on defeating dungeon bosses and monsters in battle, however, she had never really fought against a player of Leo’s caliber before, which had contributed to her defeat.

Given enough time to train and hone her nerves, she could easily surpass Leo once more, as although he was faster, with the longer reach of her sword, she could easily negate his speed advantage by always keeping him at more than an arms length away.

‘He’s too strong…. He’s the real deal’ PinkLotus acknowledged, as although she felt like she had lost to her own mistake, she also realized that perhaps Leo had not given his 100% in this battle.

Despite her using her best offensive and defensive moves, she had been unable to land a single hit on him and after everything was said and done he had walked out of the match scratch free while also exacting a drop of her blood.

“Hey Leo…. Congratulations on your win, you are the real deal–” she said after letting out a deep sigh, as despite Leo’s shithousery earlier, she congratulated him with an open heart.

“Are you okay?” Asked Luke as he stepped towards her, only for her to wipe the drop of blood away from her neck and nod happily.update Ƀy Ɲ0vel1st.c0m

“Your brother is unbelievable…. No wonder people call him number one” She said, smiling brightly as Luke matched her smile feeling equally proud.

“I know right? Watching him fight always puts me in a stupor… he’s definitely miles ahead of me” Luke admitted without any prejudice, as he was genuinely happy for Leo and his strength.

“Don’t sell yourself short… I wanna fight you too, Mr.Suplex Demon and I will come looking for a fight with you soon” Alia said, as after experiencing the battle against Leo, she wanted to have one with Luke as well, since he too was selected as a guardian at the rankers event.

“Me? Haha, I might not be your match” Luke said, as he politely tried to deny the sparring invite, but did not seem to mind it too much either.

If Alia persisted, he would gladly take her offer for a match, but if she did not, he would reject her as politely as possible.

“Of-course you’re my match…. You’re hailed as one of the strongest players in the game t—” just as PinkLotus began complimenting Luke, trying to convince him into having a fight with her, out came Amanda from her mansion, apparently feeling startled by all the noise outside.

“What’s going on here? Why is our courtyard destroyed?” She asked, drawing attention to herself, as all three of Alia, Luke and Leo looked towards her.

“Leo…. Who is that pretty woman?” Amanda asked next as Leo happily skipped his steps towards her and immediately hugged her tight.

“She’s our neighbor babe, she just challenged me to a fight and I obliterated her” Leo said, as he gave Amanda a peck on her cheek, purposefully acting all lovey dovey than he actually was.

“You fought her? And she’s our neighbor?” Amanda asked in surprise, as she kept staring at Alia with her mouth agape, having never seen a woman as pretty as her before in her life.

However, although she only felt mildly surprised to see a woman as beautiful as Alia, Alia felt even more surprised to see the infamous boss acting to lovey dovey around a woman, as she could almost never imagine him being capable of such compassion.

The same man that did not even look at her without contempt in his eyes, clung onto a woman and kissed her cheeks for no reason in a public display of affection which shocked Alia to her core.

She stared back at Amanda with her mouth wide open as she could not help her left eye from twitching nonstop.

Ever since she was born there was not one straight man who had not turned to look at her twice, yet now she stood across from a woman, whose man did not even put her in his eyes and it made her incredibly jealous and uncomfortable in her heart for some reason.

/// Chapter 3 of 4 for the day.

Also, thanks to a reader pitching in, we have been able to create PinkLotus character art, and she looks absolutely beautiful.

I’ll be adding it to the character panel today and posting the raw photo itself under this chapter. ///
