Era of Players: Death God
Chapter 38 - 38: Each their Fights

Lilith, with her cold and expressionless eyes, met four students who stood before her, each wielding a crudely made wooden sword. The students couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spines as they faced the formidable villainess.

Without uttering a word, Lilith held a simple stick in her hand, engaging the students in a battle. As the clash of wood echoed through the air, it became apparent that Lilith's skill with a sword was unmatched. Her movements were precise and calculated, effortlessly parrying and countering the students' attacks.

But it was not just her swordsmanship that overwhelmed the students. Lilith possessed a dark and mysterious power, and she unleashed it upon her opponents. With a flick of her hand, she conjured powerful magic that added an extra layer of danger to the fight.

As the battle raged on, the students found themselves struggling to keep up. Lilith's combination of swordsmanship and magic was too much for them to handle. With each swing of her sword and every spell she cast, Lilith pushed them further into a corner.

Despite their best efforts, the students were eventually overwhelmed by Lilith's superior skills and powers. They found themselves disarmed and defenseless, their wooden swords scattered on the ground. Lilith stood over them, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

It was a stark reminder of the power that resided within Lilith, and the fear that she could instill in those who dared to challenge her. The defeated students could only watch as Lilith walked away, her presence lingering in their memories.

From that day forward, the students knew that they faced a formidable adversary in Lilith. They had witnessed her swordsmanship and experienced the terrifying force of her magic. It was a lesson they would not soon forget. They now understood why she got the nickname 'White Witch'

But even in the face of defeat, the students vowed to continue their training and grow stronger. They knew that if they were to stand a chance against Lilith, they would need to hone their skills and find their own sources of power.

And so, with determination in their hearts, the students picked up their wooden swords and began their journey towards becoming formidable players. They would not let Lilith's overpowering presence discourage them, but rather, it would serve as a reminder of the challenges they must overcome on their path to victory.

Like Noah, Lilith was assigned the role of villain. So, naturally she plundered the students she fought against, earning a whooping 45pts, she immediately became of the top scorer.

With a face devoid of any expression she walked deeper into the forest. She had to secure her food and plan things for the coming days.

°°°°°

Hours passed and each student was doing their utmost to survive. Because nobody knows the villains identities they're vigilant to form party.

Usually fight happened and currently it was exactly what was about to happen somewhere in the forest.

The forest was eerily silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves underfoot. The moon hung high in the sky, casting long, ominous shadows and providing just enough light to see by.

Arthur and Gareth stood facing each other, their eyes locked in an intense stare-down.

''Hello Arthur, I always wanted to fight a knight. The moment I saw you this desire of mine intensified.'' Gareth honestly declared making Arthur smile.

''It is that so? Well, let's fight like a man.''

Arthur wouldn't shy away from a fight, he was not intimidated by the man's big physique.

Gareth who got the barbarian class smiled after seeing Arthur accepting his duel. The fight would surely be fun and he would certainly give his all.

Neither of them wore armor, and they had no weapons; this was a fight of pure physical strength and skill.

Silence settled between them for a moment before it started.

Arthur was the first to move. He lunged forward, his fist swinging towards Gareth's face. Gareth sidestepped the attack and retaliated with a swift punch to Arthur's ribs. Arthur grunted, the wind knocked out of him, but he didn't let it slow him down. He retaliated with a swift uppercut that Gareth barely managed to block.

The fight was brutal and visceral. No civilized swordplay, no tactical maneuvers, just two men and their fists. They traded blows, each punch thrown with the intent to incapacitate the other. Their grunts and the sound of their fists connecting with flesh echoed throughout the forest.

Gareth, relying on his larger build, tried to overpower Arthur, but Arthur was faster. He dodged Gareth's heavy punches and countered with quick jabs and hooks. The fight went on, neither of them giving an inch. Sweat dripped off their bodies, their breaths came in ragged gasps, but they did not stop.

''Gah!"

Suddenly, Gareth managed to land a heavy blow to Arthur's face. Arthur stumbled back, momentarily stunned. Gareth took advantage of this, rushing forward to deliver another punch.

Swoosh!

But Arthur recovered quickly. He ducked under Gareth's punch and retaliated with a powerful uppercut.

Bang!

A powerful sound rang out and Gareth was thrown off balance and stumbled back.

Arthur didn't waste any time. He rushed forward, delivering a flurry of punches that Gareth struggled to block. With a final powerful punch, Arthur sent Gareth sprawling to the ground.

For a moment, everything was silent.

''Hah! Hah! I guess it's my win Gareth.''

Arthur stood over Gareth, panting heavily. He extended his hand, helping Gareth to his feet.

''Yeah, for someone with a slim physique your punches are well packed. I felt them them even in my soul. You're indeed a worthy knight.'' Gareth responded with a smile, not minding showing his bloodied teeth.

There were no hard feelings, no grudges held. It was a fair fight, and the better fighter had won.

The fight was brutal, but it was a testament to their strength and skill.

''Let's fight properly another time, this time with our respective weapons.'' Gareth proposed.

And Arthur naturally nodded.

''Sure, why not. I'll gladly entertain you anytime, Gareth. See you around.''

They walked away from it with new respect for each other.
