Vol.18 Ch.31: Apprentece in Mid

"The Orc is in Mid," Kai reported, just in case somebody missed this super important development. "If he challenges me then I plan to take him down. I hope nobody has any objects."

"Just be careful," Yuel said only that. "He's a strong opponent, probably stronger than anybody you've ever faced."

"Wait, you saying dude is even stronger than me!?" Lars jumped. "Hell naw! Lemme at 'em and I'mma show you what's what!"

"It'll definitely be interesting to see which of you is stronger in a fight," Yuel said. "But to be on the safe side, it's better to assume that Apprentece is stronger for now."

"Dang, dude! Where's yo faith in my skill, yo!?"

"I have faith in it, but I also know that Apprentece went toe-to-toe with a B Leaguer. Can you claim that you've ever done the same?"

"Hah, ez! I can even take on Maker any day, word!"

"Yes, I'm sure you can." Yuel rolled his eyes. "Anyway, that's my advice. You can do whatever you want with it."

"Don't worry, Lars," Kai reassured. "I'll prove that you're better than this clown by beating him myself."

"Heck yeah, that's what I like hearing! Go get him, yo!"

"Will do." And next, I'll defeat you too. Kai had plenty of experience dueling Lars during practice. So as frustrating as it was to admit, she had no choice but to accept that the guy was stronger than her, at least for now.

However, she had no intention of taking any of this lying down. Slowly but surely, she'll catch up to that mechanical monster. She had been working hard on improving her mechanical skill, expanding her game knowledge, and polishing her unique rhythm-based skills.

One day, I'll be an opponent you'll fear, just you watch. Kai promised. But first, I have to take out this Korean pro-wannabe.

Kai didn't need another target to chase right now. She had already had her hands full with catching up to Lars, so Apprentece was really an unnecessary existence as far as Kai was concerned. So c'mon, let's wrap this up here and now.

The next minion wave arrived. Fortunately, Apprentece remained in Mid in order to greet the incoming minions. He had every intention of filling in for Theorist in this round.

Good. Kai nodded. Let's have a good one. I'll tear you apart, you cocky bastard!

As expected, Apprentece didn't come here empty-handed. He brought over his cockiness too. Even though the guy was facing an opponent with far superior reach, he had no qualms about approaching the minion wave with full intent to farm at melee range.

There's no doubt the guy was planning to unleash his Sledgehammer and strike the minions from point-blank. Yes, this mad lad was going to farm at melee range against Sorcerer, a class boasting one of the best attack ranges in the game.

Wow, this is something else. Kai was deeply impressed but for all the wrong reasons. Alright then. You asked for it.

Naturally, she had no intention of letting the Orc unleash his deadly hammer on the minions without getting punished for it. She summoned a Magia Orb right in the center of all the action: between the enemy swordsmen, the enemy bowmen, and the approaching Apprentece.

Next, she instantly animation-canceled into Dimensional Collapse. The Magia Orb exploded, generating a black hole that sucked in all the enemies around it! Swordsmen, bowmen, and even the Orc - everybody!

Once all of them collide at the center, the damage will be amplified based on the number of objects that crash into each other. So, the more the merrier!
