92 Rapidly Rising Through The Rankings
“Sneak attack?” A smirk appeared on Zera’s face as he also pressed off the ground and their fist immediately collided together…
BOOOOOM
“CRAAACK…CRAAACK”
The sound of something slowly cracking apart echoed within the desert as Eathely watched widemouth how the earth acting like a gauntlet on his hand began cracking apart.
BOOOOOM
The earth finally shattered to pieces and he was immediately sent flying, bouncing off from the ground before slowly coming to a stop.
Terror appeared on his face as his left arm held on tightly to his right hand which was dripping down with red blood that stained the sand beneath him.
The VR world replicates everything even physical blood and all emotions with the same magnitude someone will normally experience in the real world.
Zeras didn’t give him a single glance as he threw out one more punch with half his total strength. Earthely stretched out his left arm to block but he was immediately sent flying once more as the Earth around it also crumbled while his left-hand bone was crippled.
His body fell weakly on the sand as a vein popped on his head due to the pain of having his hands crippled while a colossal force rampaged through his body wreaking havoc within.
Zeras stood above him watching him interestingly before a sinister smirk appeared on his face as he looked at those stubborn eyes:
“Still not given up, huh…” Slowly bending, his hands extended forward as held him by his neck before dragging him upward.
His hands held on tightly to Earthely’s neck as he applied force on it, drawing away the strength in Earthely’s body as his eyes bulged out from their sockets.
“Since I’m feeling quite good today, then I’ll be offering you a free lesson today. Never risk your life for something as little as fame or rankings. This is only a game, yet you take it as if it’s a life and death battle…how stupid…”
Zeras immediately exerted force on his neck causing a spine-chilling crunching sound of bones being broken to ring out before he slammed Earthely’s body into the ground causing cracks to spread into the distance from the pure force of the collision.
Zeras slowly walked away from the scene, behind him a body could be seen, its head buried deep inside the earth while half of its lower body was above the ground.
|The match between Erebus and Earthely has been concluded|
|Winner: Erebus|
Zeras immediately felt the surroundings around him disappear and in the next second, he was back at the white hall.
The system notification immediately appeared:
[Quest: Defeat Earthely has been completed.]
[+150 EXP gained.]
Looking at his Attributes.
|Attributes|
|Player Name: Erebus|
|Rankings: 154|
|Number of defeats: 0|
|Number of defeated opponents: 1|
|Number of completed missions:1|
“Oh, a defeat meant going back to your opponent’s rankings?” Zeras mused as he clicked on the player at the 141 rankings going by the name Volcan and quickly initiated a challenge.
[Challenge request sent.]
{Challenge accepted.}
{Do you wish to record this challenge to ensure others could watch the Video?} “No…” He never chose to record his battles as he didn’t want anyone at all to know anything about his abilities and limits. Except those who had fought with him. He is well aware, that an unknown enemy keeps even the most experienced warriors on the edge of their seats.
{Your opponent, Volcan, is now choosing your battle topography.}
{Done.}
{You will now be sent to the battle stage in 3.2.1…}

A young man could be seen sleeping on a bed in a small room with a helmet worn on his head. His normal heartbeat which was silently rising and falling suddenly began rising rapidly. His body began rapidly twitching before suddenly, his hands moved towards the helmet as he took it off.
His facial features could now be seen, revealing him to be a fat cheek young man with dirty brown hair and large eyes.
“I can’t believe I lost. I didn’t even last long at all. Just who is he?” Sweats dripped down his face as his hands held on tightly to his neck feeling happy everything that recently happened was only a game. The young man decided to quickly send the information around, as he searched for all the information about a player called Erebus.

Zeras immediately disappeared from the white space and the next second, he was standing in a volcanic area with lava bursting out occasionally, sending splashes of lava around the place.
The area he was standing in was some type of circular battle stage with a dark burnt floor which had been made with some type of strange obsidian rocks while enveloping it was a sea of lava that extended as far as his eyes could see.
Opposite him, was a red-haired young man, 1.9 meters tall with crimson red eyes within which the mirage of burning flames could be seen. Clad in a red colored shirt and trousers, his eyes stared straight at Zeras with not a semblance of emotion within.
{Battle begins in 3.2.1…Go}
Volcan slowly walked towards his opponent as his crimson red hair began flickering with an even more shade of red while flames could be seen dancing on them as if they were caught in a fire.
Stepping on the ground with all his strength, flames burst from beneath his legs as he was propelled forward with speed appearing before Zeras and throwing out a flaming fist.
This was his genetic ability, the control of surrounding flame elements.
Zeras smiled at the fast speed as he muttered to himself,
“Not bad…”
Stepping sideways, his head bent to the side effectively dodging the punch while his body bent downwards as he slammed his leg on Volcan chest with full force causing it to immediately cave in from the attack and he was immediately sent flying.
Volcan’s eyes widened to their limit as blood burst out from his mouth, his chest sensors sending bursts of pain to his brain as he found it incredibly hard to breathe.
His body skidded to a stop as he widened his eyes to look at Zeras but was surprised when he saw a face just an inch before him, abyssal eyes staring into his flaming red eyes before the world turned abruptly completely red then dark.
BOOOOOM
A figure was immediately sent flying into the volcano quickly sinking beneath it without an ounce of resistance. The AI voice rang out within the space:
|The fight between Erebus and Volcan has been completed|
|Winner: Erebus|
Zeras immediately disappeared from the space as he ignored the system notification before quickly challenging his next opponent.
He would try to gain EXP as fast as he could while also trying his best to rank higher in the rankings.

News of a player named Erebus, crazily rising through the rankings took the entire EIA gods battle game by storm as he was said to have rapidly defeated all his opponents with brute strength and didn’t even spend more than a minute on every single one of them….
All the players were trying their best to dig out his information and just who he was as they even made bets he would soon be the new player on the top fifty rankings while some argued his rapid descent would soon stop…
Though not many paid the news much thought, they had no choice when a notification rang out through the game.
|New achievement broken…|
|A Player named Erebus has made it from rank 161 to rank 70 in less than three hours, having fought a total of 10 opponents without rest and not a single defeat|
|50 points will now be given to him for being the first to perform such a feat|
The news by the game AI shocked everyone speechless, as everyone finally took notice of the player named Erebus.
A smile appeared on Quinn’s face on seeing the notification as a sinister smile appear on his face
“Now I’m interested in how those cocky top ten would all feel to finally have their rankings challenged…”
