The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 78: The Last Challenger

I spent the entire week doing nothing. All I did was play LWO...no, rather than playing; I wasted my time on stupid challenges.

I barely slept this week. I successfully learned to program.

All I need now is Lily's program, and it should work...it will work.

The light orb too. It came every night and flew all around the room.

After I logged into LWO, I automatically got teleported to world zero. Elena came through the portal.

It's been over 3 hours, and only 19 players have challenged me today.

"Hey Adas, We are here," Ricky said.

"I can see that."

"What's wrong? You look in a bad mood."

"What's wrong, you ask? Can't you see this!"

After Elena came here, we were exploring the palace. It was a pleasant mood. I thought I would tell her about Lier, but Xerah decided to interrupt us, and now...Elena and Xerah are...

"Shouldn't you be happy here? 2 girls are fawning over you."

Elena is grabbing my right arm, and Xerah is holding my left. I told them to let go, but...

"We are just showing our love" is what they say.

Lily also tried to do that but gave up, and now she is swinging on my hair.

"Can't believe you made it to the end of the event?" Ricky said.

"Yeah. I can't believe it either."

Now only a few minutes left and I will be free.

The condition was that I have to stay logged in for 4 hours in total, and it's been over 3 hours now. I just hope no one comes to challenge me and--

[A New Challenger Has Appeared]

I hate this game!

"Hey, can you please let go?"

They have been grabbing my hand for over 2 hours. This is my golden chance to sit on the throne, but...

"Do you not like this?"

"It's not like I don't like this, but we have been like this for 2 hours now."

"So?"

So let go!

It's pointless. No matter how many times I say it, they just don't understand.

"Hey guys...you know, a player can come to challenge me anytime, I need to be ready."

"We will let go if someone comes."

They are pressing my arm against their breast! I can't endure it anymore!

"I want to hold .my sword, so let go."

"You love the sword more than us?"

I don't!

"Yes! So let go."

"I see. Elena, he loves the sword more than us."

I don't! I just said that so you could let go.

"That's sad. I never thought a sword would be my rival."

What is she talking about?!

"What should we do, Elena?"

What will you do?!

"Let's do that."

Do what?!

"Sure. Let's do that."

Stop! You are scaring me!

"Xerah. Hold his hands."

Xerah got behind me and grabbed both of my hands.

"Thanks. Now I will take. the sword."

She took my sword--

"Hey! I have to fight the challenger!"

"Fight with. out the sword."

"You are asking for the impossible! Give it back!"

The door opened. The challenger walked in. It was a girl, and that girl was none other than my cousin, Lier.

"Good luck."

"...."

Lier's name is Nier in the game. I am not trying to be rude, but she looks scary. She doesn't look like the Lier I know.

I know that this girl is Lier because I asked Lily about Lier two weeks ago, and Lily gave me Lier's information.

Lier doesn't know that I am Das...right?

She is looking at me like I am some kind of pest. She is dead serious about killing me!

She took out her sword.

This is bad. I don't have a sword, and Lier's face doesn't look like she will hold back.

I glanced at Ricky and Rikka. They were enjoying the show.

I glanced at Elena and Xerah. They were making a worried face.

There is no point worrying about me now!

Lily was trying to say something. I somehow knew that she wanted to say, 'This person is your cousin,' I nodded to her.

If Lier really doesn't know that I am Das, I have no other choice but to fight her.

There are only 10 minutes left. After that, I can log out. Till then, I have to hold her somehow back.

If there is no sword, I can still fight.

I know martial arts, thanks to my grandpa.

I haven't used it on anyone, and I don't know if I will be able to fight properly or not, but...it's better than nothing.

I took a defensive stance.

Lier's raised her sword and...

Clink~~

She threw the sword on the ground and took a defensive stance.

Huh?...what is she doing?

Is she telling me that she will fight without a weapon?

She started attacking me with her fists. Face, chest, stomach, neck, she is attacking the upper part of my body.

Our grandparents taught martial arts to both of us. Well...technically, they only taught me, but Lier learned it by watching my training, and when grandpa got to know about this, he taught her too.

Now she is using her kicks as well.

Lier and I have fought many times, like training, of course. I would never raise my hands on her in a real fight.

We have fought countless times, and...she has never won against me.

This is not the real world. We can use our game skills to enhance our attacking speed and strength.

If I hit her in the game, it won't hurt her real body, but I can't hit her. She is my cousin and the girl I love.

Three more minutes. I can log out after 3 minutes, but I am sure I can't log out in the middle of the duel. I have to somehow defeat her without hitting her.

There is no time limit in the duel; it will go on unless one of us loses. I can admit defeat, but that would just make things worse. I have to somehow---

Her kick hit me in the face. She punched me in the chest and face, kicked me in the stomach, jumped and punched me in the head.

She is using her game skills...If this were the real world, I might have been unconscious by now.

I can't block her attack if she uses skills.

I have no other choice but to fight back against her using my skills.
