Chapter 104: WBT Semi finals: Wil vs Bran, the ultimate showdown?

After one more match is over, the system made a series of world-wide announcements.

*Ding. Congratulations, Crimson Sun, Magi, Time Traveler, and Solar to reach Semi-finals of the World Battle Tournament.

*Ding. Congratulations, Crimson Sun, Magi, Time Traveler, and Solar to reach Semi-finals of the World Battle Tournament.

*Ding. Congratulations, Crimson Sun, Magi, Time Traveler, and Solar to reach Semi-finals of the World Battle Tournament.

After announcing it three times, another couple of world-wide announcements continued to ring in every player's ears.

*Ding. Semi-finals will start at 0:00 hours EST.

*Ding. The first semi-final is between Crimson Sun and Time Traveler. The second semi-final is between Magi and Solar.

After leaving the portal, Wil opened the betting rates and saw it's outrageously 1:5 against his favor.

"Hmm, this shows his stats are outrageously high. That only means one thing. His mythical grade sword and the crown are already unsealed."

A frown appeared on Wil as he continued to think, "But, how? It's impossible that he's a four-star Magic swordsman. Did he has unsealed versions from the start? Hmm, something is fishy about these legend classes.

Come to think of it, I was only given a legendary grade bow and mythic grade ring. Yet, they were still sealed. I guess I need to wait until the barriers between kingdoms disappear and go and meet Aerona Marten. I don't think she would get angry if I remind her who saved her life and request to unseal the equipment.

Or maybe, I can ask Archangel Raziel about it. But, to do that, my favorability with Mirella should increase."

As a participant cannot bet, Wil transferred his remaining 5600 gold to Aster and told him to bet on him.

Then, he went to Deloris to take a look at the construction after equipping Mask of Tranquility to not cause unnecessary disturbance as the town is now very lively with hundreds of players roaming here and there because of the rise in popularity.

Meanwhile, three more guilds with a little over 300-500 member strength decided to develop in the town and their messengers are busy watching the progress of the huge scale construction of the new scarlet district.

At 11:30 p.m., as the system sent him a notification to get ready for the match, Wil entered the portal and waited in the white space.

As time is ticking, Wil felt his heartbeat started to rise steadily. He took a long breath, "Cool down Wil. No need to be nervous. All you have to enter 50 meters range and finish it with Heavenly push. A simple plan.

Hmm, how about purchasing a speed scroll from the store. It might help me cover up the distance quickly."

As he entered the battle shop, at first, Wil bought a speed scroll, then looking at the remaining points, he bought all the nine random high-grade skill books and opened them.

"Ugh... This one is for guardians" He threw a skill book into inventory that needs a heavy shield to perform. "This is for Assassins. This is for blademaster. This is for the gunner. Again for Assassins. F*** my luck... Did I waste forty-five thousand points for nothing?"

As he disinterestedly looked at the seventh book, a big smile appeared on Wil and he pumped his fist in happiness, "Yes, with this. I can win this match for sure."

Short Teleport: User can teleport to any place within 500 meters around him. Cost: 20 mana. CD: 6 hours

Wil instantly learned the skill and opened the skill only to see at level-1, he can only teleport 33 meters. Then, he made a plan of how to shorten the distance when Bran won't expect. 

Two minutes before the match, as the system sent him a notification to get ready; Wil was ready to dash skill the moment it started.

But, just then, who could have expected the system notification he's going to receive right before the battle.

*Ding. Someone is calling you from the outside world.

Looking at the number, Wil's heart skipped, "it's Silver. Judging by the time, did did assassination happen?"

At that moment, Wil didn't care about the countdown and picked up the call.

"Silver?"

On the other side, a depressing voice was heard, "Young Master, in a few minutes, Storm will pick you up."

Taking a long breath, Wil asked with a calm tone, "Did something happen to my dad?"

Af a long silence from another side, Wil said, "I asked you whether something happened to my Dad or not."

"I'll explain everything directly once you reach here. We are at the University of Ares Medical center." 

*3, 2, 1*

As Wil disconnected the call, he appeared on the dueling platform, and in front of him stood his arch-nemesis, Crimson Sun.

"Looks like assassination indeed happened as I feared but somehow this time, dad made it alive. But why was he admitted at Ares? Let's not think too much and finish this match quickly." 

Without wasting any time, Wil used speed scroll and increased his speed by 100% and then dashed towards him using dash skill.

Bran, who watched the recordings of Wil's matches didn't let the distance close. He immediately used dash skill and dashed backward.

But, seeing Wil decreasing the distance, Bran took out his katana and slashed in the air. As a large arc containing magic energy was coming towards him, Wil dashed to the left to dodge it and fired an Ice arrow towards Bran.

Bran, who anticipated it, used the ability of his crown and summoned two knights that have the same stats as him just like how he summoned it in his previous match to defeat Supreme Conqueror who was a Magic Swordsman like him.

Looking at the incoming Ice arrow, one of the knights raised the shield and a fire energy barrier covered both of them repelling the Ice arrow. Even though the freezing effect activated, it wasn't able to penetrate the fire barrier and just froze the floor.

Meanwhile, Wil stopped his pursuit as 10 seconds are up and Dash skill is in Cooldown, then, looked at the two knights who were standing in his way with a fire barrier over them.

As they are within range, He mumbled, "Heavenly push, 0 mana" and pushed them away but just then Bran who was 82 meters away from him, raised his mythic grade long katana, and magic in the surroundings started to gather around it and increasing its size more than hundred times.

He tightly gripped the sword and turn around in 360 degrees for once and changing the position of the sword from vertical to horizontal.

Just when it was about to slash into two, the sword stopped upon hitting a golden energy barrier around Wil, who was gripping King's medallion and used the barrier skills that let him being invincible for the next 30 seconds.

While Bran was inwardly shocked and tried to attack him once more only to see "0" on his head again, Wil thought, "Judging by the distance, I think there's a distance of around 80 meters between us. Okay, it's time to end the match."

Wil then spoke, "Short Teleport."

Bran was once again taken aback to see Wil disappeared from the spot and reappeared 50 meters away from him and suddenly a heavy pressure pushed him onto the ground as Wil spoke, "Gravity Suppression, activate."

"Argh" As Bran's one leg kneeled and the other on its way while he tried to resist but failed and the hundred-meter large sword is also cracking the floor, meanwhile, the legendary grade knights who were immune to it, rushed towards Wil with their spears and a light shield.

But, just then, Wil spoke loud and clear, "it's over, Crimson Sun."

"Heavenly push, full mana."

Suddenly all of his 810 mana got consumed and the wind emerged from him exploded with speed and power in all sides.

"What"

Tens of thousands of players who were watching the match from various Arenas suddenly stood up from their seats in a shock as the knights and Bran were exploded on the spot as soon as the wind hit them.

*Ding. Your opponent died. You won the match.

*Ding. Congratulations on entering the finals. You received 100000 battle coins as a reward.

The system then made a world-wide announcement, exploding his popularity all over the world.

*Congratulations player Time Traveler for making it to the World Battle Tournament finals. 

While Bran stayed in a daze for a long time in the white space, Wil logged out immediately without glancing at congratulatory messages or the transaction of 19600 gold coins, Aster sent after receiving the money from the betting.

After stepping out of the capsule, he took his mobile phone and called Storm.

"Young master, I'll be there in a minute," replied Storm as soon as he picked the call.

Wil disconnected the call and quickly went down. As soon as he got out of the lift, he rushed towards the gate while a few bodyguards who are a guard just followed without asking anything.

Just as he reached the gate, he saw a car arrived and stopped. A man in his late thirties stepped outside. Like Silver, he has a Vulture tattoo on his neck.

He bowed and greeted, "Young Master."

On the other hand, Wil quickly opened the door and said, "Don't waste time with greetings. Get inside."

As they started driving towards the airport, Wil asked, "Storm, tell me the truth. Did someone attack dad?"

Storm shook his head, "I'm not sure. Silver won't say anything."

Reaching the airport, they took their private jet and fly to Ares city.

By early morning, Wil reached the hospital and saw Silver was waiting for them whose eyes are deep red.

As Wil asked him, Silver replied hoarsely, "Please follow me. It's best if the doctor explains the situation to you."

Just when Silver turned around and about to walk forward, Wil suddenly grabbed his shirt from behind and asked him with a serious tone, "I don't have time to play riddles with you, Silver. Why is Dad admitted here in Ares?

And Storm informed me he never went back to Yarlford after he left with you. Why did you lie to me that you were at the casino?"

Looking at both of their expressions, Silver sighed, "I'll tell you on the way."
