"Don''t worry, I''ll do my best not to kill you by ident," mma said as he stood facing Cethus in the Grand Arena used by the ckrock n.


    Cethus didn''t bother to give a reply and simply summoned the spear he had received as a reward afterpleting the quest of escorting the residents of Abingdon Town.


    After hearing that mma had challenged the neers into a duel, all of the Orcs who had finished their preparations for the war went to the Grand Arena to watch the battle.


    Of course, they knew that Cethus, who was only of the Initiate Rank, had no chance of winning against mma. But, it didn''t matter.


    They were there to support the son of their Orc Chieftain, and also to watch something entertaining before they headed off to the battlefield.


    "Are both fighters ready?" Baronar, who hade to the Grand Arena in a hurry to better understand what happened, decided to referee.


    He had no chance to ask questions because mma insisted on having the duel, and Cethus kept his silence.


    Because of this, the Great Orc Shaman had no choice but to facilitate the duel. The only thing he could do was to ensure that the Dragon Born wouldn''t die if the son of their Chieftain got carried away with his antics.


    "Start the battle!" Baronar shouted, and all the Orcs in the stands raised their weapons and cheered.


    The first thing that Cethus did was to fly upwards because there was no way he could battle a Deimos-Ranked Alpha Monster in close quarters. The Dragon Born understood that he needed to gain distance, as soon as possible, but mma had anticipated this move from the get go.


    "Fire Snakes!" mma roared as he unleashed two mes, which transformed into giant snakes.


    These Spirit Snakes flew towards Cethus, forcing the Dragon Born to distance himself from the enemy''s attacks.


    The spear in his hands hummed faintly, as if telling Cethus that all was well. With his sentient weapon telling him that the preparations were underway, the Dragon Born focused all of his attention on evading.


    mma chuckled after seeing Cethus'' desperate struggles. He had fought almost all of the Orcs in the ckrock n that was close to his age, and none of them even managed to deal a decisive blow on him.


    Part of this was because mma was born strong, and another was that he acquired several artifacts, and pieces of equipment, which were all Pseudo-Legendary in nature.


    In time, no one dared to challenge him again because he was simply too strong for the younger generation.


    "Maybe two Fire Snakes isn''t enough for you," mma said as he raised both of his hands. "How about four then?"


    Two more FIre Snakes materialized in the arena, and once again flew in Cethus'' direction. Everyone watching the battle, with the exception of Lux and his party, thought that the battle was already over, but what they saw next made their eyes widen in shock.


    "Gravity Domain!" Cethus roared as he pointed his spear towards the sky.


    Immediately, a ck dome encapsted the entire arena, increasing the gravity inside the domain by six times.


    The Fire Snakes, which were like fishes in the water earlier, fell to the floor of the arena, barely able to raise their heads.


    mma narrowed his eyes, as he stood unmoving from his spot. Although he seemed to bepletely fine, the truth was, his body felt as heavy as lead.


    ''I underestimated this Dragon Born,'' mma thought. ''I guess it''s time for me to get serious.''


    Baronar, who was outside of the arena, looked at the battle with his arms crossed over his chest. Just like everyone else, he didn''t expect Cethus to have a Trump Card that could make things difficult for mma.


    One of the rewards that Cethus acquired when he cleared the mission in the Shaufell ins was a Rank 5 Skill Book of his choice.


    The Skill Book he chose was something that he had always wanted to have, and that was none other than Gravity Domain.


    Cethus'' true powery in manipting gravity. However, he could only manipte the gravity of his equipment.


    For example he could make his weapon lighter, or heavier, depending on the situation.


    When attacking, he could decrease the gravity of his weapon to allow him to make it lighter, and instantly make it heavier at the point of impact.


    This would take his enemiespletely by surprise, and one of aces he kept up his sleeve. Only his Grandma knew about this ability of his, which he only used during life and death situations.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    During his duel with Lux, the Dragon Born wasn''t given the opportunity to highlight this ability because he got gang banged pretty early during their duel. However, right now, he felt as if he could do it, and that''s why he was now showcasing his might for everyone to see.


    The Gravity Domain skill perfectlyplimented his ability, making Cethus more deadly than ever before.


    "Pay for your arrogance, Half-Orc!" Cethus roared as he pulled back his arm in preparation to throw the spear in his hand.


    "Gravitas Dominion!"


    The moment Cethus threw his weapon, he activated his ability and nullified the gravity of the spear, making it travel at the speed of sound.


    When the spear was only a meter away from mma, the Dragon Born once again activated his ability, and increased the gravity of the spear by 10, making it extremely heavy.


    The weapon that Cethus received was a sentient spear, meaning that it had intelligence and the ability tomunicate with its Master.


    The spear was called Oblivion, the Impaler of the Forsaken, and now, this same weapon was only a meter away from the Half-Orc, who originally thought that he could defeat Cethus without breaking a sweat.


    Oblivion hit his mark, and embedded itself in mma''s shoulder. Since they were in the ckrock n''s territory, identally killing the son of the reigning Patriarch would certainly spell doom for everyone in Lux''s party.


    Because of this, Cethus had only aimed at the Half-Orc''s dominant shoulder. He believed that as long as his spear made contact with mma''s body, the match would be over in no time at all.


    A resounding p reverberated in the surroundings as Oblivion pierced through the Half-Orc''s shoulder. At least, this was what Cethus believed would happen.


    Unfortunately, the moment the spear hit the Half-Orc''s shoulder, it immediately bounced off as if it was a rubber ball, hitting a boulder.


    Before Cethus could even recover from his shock, mma created runic symbols with his fingers before pressing his hand over the arena.


    "Wind Break!"


    A momentter, Cethus found himself falling from the air as if he was a puppet whose strings had been cut off.


    As the Dragon Born struggled to regain bnce, he suddenly saw mma''s face, inches away from his own.


    "Nice try," mma said. "But not enough to beat me."


    Without even giving Cethus an opportunity to recover, mma mmed his clenched fist against the Dragon Born''s chest, smashing him towards the ground.


    The Dragon Born was only able to cough a mouthful of blood before passing outpletely.


    Almost all of his ribs had been broken, and if he didn''t get medical help soon, his condition would quickly deteriorate.


    Fortunately, Baronar was there and he immediately stopped the match before mma could get carried away and harm the unconscious Dragon Born further.


    The Great Orc Shaman had invited Lux and hisrades as his guests, and it would reflect badly on him if one of them died under his watch.


    "mma Wins!" Baronar shouted before summoning several Elite Orc Spirit Warriors to carry the unconscious Cethus to his side.


    Cheers erupted on the stands as the ckrock n shouted mma''s name, cheering him on his victory.


    """mma!"""


    """mma!"""


    """mma!"""


    Gerhart, who watched the battle from start to finish, looked at the fallen Dragon Born with a calm expression on his face. He had no love for Cethus, and he could care less if he lost the duel.


    However, after seeing how thetter was defeated, he realized that mma had used an ability that rendered him invincible for a short period of time. Because of this, he was worried that Lux might also get defeated in a simr manner, which might bring furtherplications to their mission.
