It was Zach’s first time fighting against a girl after fighting with Aria in her domain.
However, it wasn’t as if Zach was planning to go easy on her just because Gramir was a girl.
Obviously, Zach didn’t like killing anyone, especially the innocents.
First, Gildarts had tried to kill Zach, but Zach spared him after kicking him three times in the nuts.
Second, Ishajreon tried to kill Zach using the Mana Zone, so Zach left his life hanging on a thread, and fate willed him dead.
Third, it was Jeremy, who didn’t do anything, but he was sent flying a hundred meters away by Zach.
Zach wasn’t sure if he had died, but the duel ended.
Fourth, it was Razeir, who died because of his foolishness. If only he had surrendered instead of charging himself at Zach, the duel would have ended and the dagger’s effect would have stopped.
In short, Zach killed those who tried to kill him.
Now, it was Gramir’s turn. She could fight Zach fair and square and surrender once her HP had hit low. But then Elliott would kick her out of the guild.
However, Gramir did something unexpected.
As soon as the battle started, Gramir raised her hand and said, “I surrender!”
”…!”
Of course, the player could only surrender when the HP hit lower the 5%, so everyone was confused about what Gramir was trying to do.
But, Gramir wasn’t trying to announce her surrender. She was telling that to Zach.
Zach understood that Gramir didn’t want to fight him, or rather, she didn’t want to die. And that was enough for Zach to spare her.
Zach also raised his hand and uttered, “I surrender too.”
In a duel, if both players surrendered or revoke the duel, the duel would be canceled without any consequences.
Seconds after the duel was canceled, Gramir received a notification that said:
[You have been kicked out of the guild— Risen Warriors!]
Of course, Gramir was ready for this, and she wasn’t affected by that. She turned to Elliott and looked up at him. Then, she showed him her middle finger and yelled, “Fuck you! You son of a bitch!”
After saying that, Gramir walked out of the ring.
Next, Kevin walked in and invited Zach for the duel.
Judging by his body build, Kevin looked to be a swordsman, but Zach couldn’t bet solely on his looks.
Zach accepted the invitation without wasting his time.
”You can go all out if you want to. I know I am going to lose, but please, just don’t kill me,” Kevin said in a calm voice.
The first ten seconds passed, but Kevin didn’t take out his weapon. He thought if he doesn’t use any weapon, Zach wouldn’t use either, and they would fight unarmed.
’This is… honestly boring…’ Zach thought. ‘I expected the battles to be exciting, but here I am feeling bad. I feel like I am bullying my opponents here.’
The opponents were forced by Elliott to duel against Zach. At first, they thought it would be easy since they were one of the strongest players in the guild. But they never expected Zach to be this strong.
Now, all the opponents had realized that they wouldn’t be able to win against Zach, and if they didn’t want to die, it would be best to not fight him.
However, that would mean losing their guild.
Of course, they all made a wise choice.
’We can join another guild, but we won’t be getting another life,’ they all thought.
Zach played around with Kevin, and he was surprised to see he knew some martial arts.
”Where did you learn martial arts?” Zach asked curiously.
”I have always been a fan of martial arts, so I watched movies, anime, and tutorials on the internet,” Kevin replied while breathing heavily.
He could barely stand still after moving and jumping around. While Zach hadn’t even broken a sweat yet.
”So you are self-taught?” Zach asked with an amused look on his face. “Not bad, actually.”
”I wish the game had a class for martial arts. But I am sure it wouldn’t do good since martial arts can’t win against modernized weapons,” Kevin asserted.
”Normal martial arts can’t, but… well…” Zach kicked Kevin in the chest and pinned him on the ground.
His HP had reached lower than 5%, so he surrendered the duel.
”This was the first nice duel I have had in a long time,” Zach scoffed. He reached his hand to Kevin to help him get up, and said, “Keep on practicing, you can get better.”
Just like Gramir, Kevin also received the notification of getting kicked out of the guild.
Next, Evonik stepped forward and walked into the ring.
”Wait a minute!” Zach said out loud to get everyone’s attention. “Let’s save yours and mine time and end this.”
He looked at the remaining 4 opponents and said, “Just surrender and go home.”
Out of the 4 of them, only Kira, who was level 99 left the guild and stood with the other ground of bystanders.
”…!” Zach stared at the other three opponents with a confused look on his face and wondered, ‘Do they not want to live? Are they stupid?’
Zach then recalled their names: one was named ‘Crazy Bitch’, and another was named ‘Thomas’ Chick’.
SIGH!
Zach let out a weary sigh and beckoned Evonik.
”You may think you will win, but you are wrong! I calculate everything before making a move, and I have over a dozen ways I can beat you… no, to kill you!” Evonik declared.
Zach genuinely felt pity for Evonik after hearing that.
It wasn’t as though he didn’t take Evonik’s words seriously, but he was laughing at the overconfidence he had.
Evonik invited Zach for the duel, and Zach immediately accepted it.
This time, without waiting for the opponent to take out his weapon, Zach equipped the mythical rank sword he got as a reward to clear the dungeon.
