Chapter 298 - Trash Talk !
Derek Ray : Good morning ladies and gentlemen , we are live , live from the GRAND COLLOSSEUM ARENA where the winners of day 4 group stages will compete for the three medals.
Lee Dixon : Yes well win or loose the first fight you will have to fight a second one , win the first fight the second will be for gold medal , loose the first fight and the second will be for bronze .
Derek Ray : Yes well , today's first fight is between the second seeded Paraklax vs the fourth seed Shakuni , what are your thoughts on this match Lee?
Lee Dixon: The match is going to be entertaining to say the least , to say that Parallax has animosity towards Shakuni would be an understatement , whereas Shakuni is arrogant enough to call Parallax inferior opponent not worthy to be put in his eyes. Hahahaha , that guy is simply crazy.
Derek Ray : Yes interesting remarks made by Shakuni in yesterday's press conference , however now the time for talk is over and the fist will do the talking . Will he put money where his mouth is .... Or will he make a fool of himself , only time will tell ..... Alright it's time for the ring announcer to introduce the two contestants.
( Scene cut to the grand collosseum )
----------
( Cheering from the crowd , too much clamour and noise , faint chants of Shakuni! Shakuni ! , Parallax , Parallax! , Can be heard. )
Announcer : LADIESSSSS AND GENTLEMEN , WELCOME TO THE GRANDDDD COLLOSSEUM ARENA!
( More clamour and noise from the crowd )
Announcer : ARE YOU READY FOR THE MEDAL MATCHES?
( Cheers and a faint ' Yes ' from the crowd )
Announcer : THE FIRST MATCH ..... The winner of group A vs the winner of group D . Introducing first , the winner of group A , the DOMINANT , the ARROGANT?, the NOTORIOUS?, the GUILD LEADER OF TRUE ELITES ..... SHAKUNIIIIIIII?.
( Crowd chanting , one for all , all for one , go elites go )
Rudra walks out surprised at the crowd chants , as he joins in whole heartedly ..... About 200,000 people chanting the guild slogan , it was a thrilling moment. After the guilds recent popularity , one of the videos where the slogan was used went viral on the forums , and today everyone present was chanting it. It was a lot of cringe , but Rudra welcomed it with open arms .
The atmosphere was absolutely electric , this was the craziest crowd Rudra had ever seen. He felt pumped.
Announcer : Introducing next ..... The winner of group D , THE TORCHBEARER , the number one ranked player .... The Enigmatic solo player ..... PARALLAX !
( Cheers erupted from the crowd , as Parallax strode into the arena with both his arms raised , an domineering look in his face )
The moment he looked onto Rudra he shouted " Your dead you Punka*** Bit** ".
A loud OOOOOOOOOO came from the crowd.
The a chant of ' Punk a** Bit**es , clap, clap clap , Punk a** Bit**es , clap clap clap ..... '. Started in the crowd.
The crowd was absolutely crazy today , they did not care one bit about who was gonna win and who was gonna loose , they were just here to enjoy a great show and have a good time.
To Parallax's insult , Rudra smugged and just said " I'm sorry , the crowd here is soo loud I could not hear your name when the announcer said it ..... Who are you again ?".
Parallax looked soo mad , it felt like he would pop a blood vessel or two , it was exactly this attitude of Rudra he despised the most .... As he shouted " I'll show you !!!!!! , I'm the flagbearer damnit the highest levelled player , Parallax !!! ,carrying the torch ,?it's an honor punks like you will never have?".
Rudra seemed to chuckle as he said " see the country where I come from , we reserve that honor for mascots , you are indeed a good mascott Paraloony , don't worry , I don't need such useless things ".
" What mascott , what Paraloony ? ". Parallax asked frowning
" I'm sorry , Paraloony , that's your name right ..? , Oh shoot sorry , can you say it one more time? ".
Parallax seemed to have snapped now , Rudra was deliberately insulting him , gritting his teeth he said " You don't need to know my name , just remember me as the guy who whooped your p*** a** ".
Rudra smiled , mission riling Parallax up , was a success.
The countdown started 10...9....8....3....2...1.... Fight!
The time for trash talking was over!
--------
Ethan was in the crowd , unlike the stiff atmosphere of the conference room between the generals , he was thoroughly enjoying the crazy electricity of the people around him , he never would get time for such events , hence it became a worthwhile experience for him.
He focused on the ground , to look at the tiny fighters and what they were doing , but unable to make out a thing , he then focused on the giant screen , where the match was showed in broadcast view. For him except the atmosphere of the stadium , he basically saw the match the same way he did in real life.
---------
The match started and right out of the gate , Parallax wanted to assert some dominance , he wanted to show the world that he was the superior fighter , and to do that he decided to attack Shakuni ' s pride and outclass him there. He went in for a frontal assault of power!
He had been saving up stat points for a while , and before this fight he assigned 40 points in strength , bringing the strength stat total to a strong 820! , It was technically more than Rudra's 802 . Plus He also used a berserk skill that gave him a 30% stat boost on attack . Bringing his effective grand total of stats to 1066!!! , He was sure that nomatter how high Shakuni's damage was , it could not be more than this, hence with the intention of sending Shakuni flying he went in for a flashy move.
However , by doing so he walked right into Rudra's trap number one , his measely 1066 was still a farcry away from Rudra's 1203! , And hence the result of their clash.... Parallax was the one sent flying.
Shock .... Horror ... Disbelief spread on his face ..... He was thoroughly repelled after all this? Just how high was Shakuni's strength?
