That bow is definitely Ranger’s starting weapon, but these arrows aren’t. He must’ve bought these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is bad, but how many of those does he have?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik didn’t look panicked that his first arrow didn’t kill his target, and then he pulled out another arrow from his quiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around it was a wooden arrow with a sharp tip. It wasn’t the same ironclad arrow as the other one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wasted one of my valuable iron arrows on this moron. I still have two of them, so hopefully I don’t have to use them!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability: 60\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon checked the durability on his shield, and it wasn’t looking good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t use his shield to block all the arrows, or soon he would be without any shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik fired another arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came quickly, but Fang Raon barely moved his head out of the way, and it grazed past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There is about thirty meters distance between us, and it doesn’t even take a second for the arrow to travel that distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t have the speed or reactive ability to dodge the arrow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought and knew that in an open field such as this, he was never going to win against Ranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warrior simply wasn’t that strong of a class in the early game. It wasn’t far-fetched to say that it was one of the weakest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helper, of course, didn’t count, as it was a support class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Tank class, he could use Intimidation, which was one of the starting skills, and use it on Malik to freeze him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Mage class, he could overpower Malik with Fireball spells, which were much stronger than shooting arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was also Mage class’ Earth Wall, another starting spell, which could be used to block all those arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Assassin class, he would have enough speed to cross the distance and overpower him with his daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warrior simply didn’t have anything else up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t let Malik dictate the pace of the fight.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon saw something in the corner of his eyes and suddenly started running towards the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players wondered why he was coming at them, and Fang Raon just pushed through them and entered the Training Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He climbed up the stairs and disappeared into the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Did he run away, haha?`\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, he did!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik’s friends laughed mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Malik, Lionel, and several other players realized that he wasn’t running away but forcing Malik to make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wanted to change the scenery of the fight to indoors, where Ranger had less of an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indoors, Warriors such as Fang Raon would have more cover and ways to fight back, unlike in the open yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the hell would I go inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik said with a laugh and stayed rooted outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care how this made him look.

SHATTER!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, one of the windows shattered as a shield, and a sword-wielding young man jumped out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was falling toward Malik, whose eyes reflected the sight of the coldness of Fang Raon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He knew that Malik wouldn’t follow him inside, which is why this was his real intention—to ambush Malik from above!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel thought with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon brought his sword down, and Malik quickly jumped out of the way, and he reached his hand to his quiver, but the Warrior wasn’t letting him run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon swung the sword, the tip grazing Malik’s arm as he narrowly avoided the attack, and a little bit of blood trickled down his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Malik Reimsduan: 65 HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one area where Warrior was the strongest class, and that was in close quarters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon pressed forward, the sword acting as another extension of his arm, and he swung it with power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik raised his bow to block the sword, but the blade went straight through, cutting the bow in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability: 0\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wooden Bow has broken!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notifications appeared before Malik, but he didn’t have time to react to those, and then he came across Fang Raon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those blue eyes... looked sadistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You are enjoying this? Who is actually the worse person between me and you? You sadistic fuc—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Fang Raon slashed through his neck, separating the head from the torso, and it was all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body and head fell to the ground, lifeless and motionless. They disappeared, and only a quiver of arrows and a brown pouch of money were left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players whispered as they looked at Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malik’s friends paled and tried grabbing the items he left behind, but Fang Raon stood before them with that sadistic look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My victory. My rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...A-ah, sure, man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said, and just left with quickness in their feet, as if their feet were on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap! Clap! Clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel clapped his hands with a smile, and then he turned around and headed back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosabella and Tessa approached him, and they didn’t quite know how to react to what they just saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon seemed different, as if he were enjoying the thrill of the deathmatch, which just seemed crazy to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You are so strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tessa said with a blush. She was staring at Fang Raon with pure admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I guess I missed something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Dewrey came over, but he was already watching for a little bit after hearing that there was a crowd gathered over in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect it to be because of Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that we are here.
