Chapter 12: Leon's Determination
“Leon-nii chan!!" Yuki shouted after he punched the guy in the face and sent him flying.
“HEY, YOU! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!" The man who got punched stood up attempting to throw a table at Leon.
“I challenge you whole lot. The five of you to a duel!" Leon retorted.
“YOU WHAT?! CHALLENGE US TO A DUEL?! A LEVEL 15 WEAKLING LIKE YOU CHALLENGING US, LEVEL 20s TO A DUEL?! FINE BY US!" The man who got punched, who appears to be the boss of the five, shouted in reply.
“If I win, you better apologise to Kirito. If you win, you can take my life." Leon said sternly.
“!! Leon.... I've never seen you so angry about something before...." Jack thought.
“No, you can't Leon-nii chan! If you lose, you'll die!" Yuki tried to convince Leon to back down but he was already beyond that point. He was determined to challenge those five to a duel.
The five of them then left Guild's Hall after the boss said the venue of the duel would be at the fountain of Arch Land.
“Leon. You serious about this? Once you go, there is no turning back." Jack asked one last time.
“Jack. There was no turning back the instant we got trapped in SVO. And I don't take chances anymore." Leon then walked out, heading for the duel venue.
Yuki tried to stop him but Jack held her back. “Let go, Jack! I can't let him do this! He'll die!!" Yuki started crying.
“I know how you're feeling now. But there is no stopping him now. You know him. If he wants to do it, there is no stopping him. There's nothing we can do but watch him. Let's go." Jack explained. Yuki was throwing a tantrum but she gave up soon after as she didn't want to be seen like that by the other players in Guild's Hall.
Soon Jack and Yuki arrived at the fountain, seeing Leon and the five guild players getting ready for the duel.
“Hey, kid. I'll give ya one more chance. Either you scram right now or we will kick your ass. Choose now." The boss of the five said politely before pressing the send button for the duel request.
His settings were:
Health bar for duel to end: 0
No. of duelists: 6
Line-up: 1 v 5
Duel time limit: Infinite
Gain experience for defeat: Yes
The last option was only available if the first option was set to 0.
“Oi, bastard. I told you before. Apologise to Kirito or fight me to make me force you to say it. I didn't give you permission to ask me questions." Leon glared at them one by one.
“SCUM! I'VE WARNED YOU! *Hit*" The boss slammed the send button and they all got their weapons out.
Leon accepted it and he drew his sword.
Jack and Yuki stood by, Yuki still feeling sad because she's afraid that Leon might lose. “Hmm... Leon's lvl 15. They are all lvl 25.... This will be quite the challenge for him.... What will you do, Leon?" Jack wondered.
3...2...1...Duel Start!
The duel soon began and Leon remained at his position. He seemed to be deep in thought.
“Calm down..... Don't panic.... They're all high lvl players. The damage they do should get my hp down to zero quite fast if I take any direct damage. I should be on defensive and catch them off guard when possible."
The five of them used different weapons. Two of them used long swords, one used magic and the remaining two used spear. The boss uses a spear.
“You better be ready now! *Glow* Sonic Pulse!" The magician cast a shockwave at Leon. “A shockwave straight off the bat. You must be confident that you will win with numbers! *Glow* Horizontal! *Glow* Vertical!!" Leon used his sword to attack his attackers and the speed he connected those skills was faster than he ever done before.
“Woah! Argh! Damn kid! Spear Barrage!!"
“Horizontal!" The two sword users attacked from both sides while the other spear user lauched fast paced spear lunges. They returned attack immediately because they didn't expect Leon, a lower lvl player to hit them that hard because their hp bar was 1/4 gone.
“Tsk. As if I would be daunted by that! *Glow* Whirl Spin!" Leon spun 360 twice while parrying the attacks.
“Here I go! *Glow* Cross Strike!" Leon's sword glowed blue and he moved very fast and knocked them all back at a go with a 5-hit combo.
“Ugh! This kid! Guys! Let's do it!" The spear guy shouted.
“Right!" The remaining three shouted and they got into a diamond shape around Leon. Leon became more wary and gripped his swords harder.
“Panther Kill, Let's do it!!" The magician buffed their attack and froze Leon where he was standing.
“Shit! He went for my legs! Crap, I can't dodge like this!" Leon tried to break free but each time he tries to thaw himself free, ice replace the damaged part instantly.
“Hiya!!!"
“Hryua!!!"
The two swordsmens' sword glowed red and they attacked from Leon's back in an X formation and did the same on the front.
The spear guy finished it off with a piercing attack through the Xs.
“ARGH!!!" Leon's health bar dropped drastically to yellow and it was going to turn red in one more hit.
“LEON-NII CHAN!!!!!!" Yuki screamed out at the top of her lungs and rushed forward but was stopped by Jack.
“HE'S GOING TO DIE LIKE THIS!!! I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE!! I HAVE TO HELP HIM!!" Yuki cried out but Jack didn't release his grip on her hand.
“Yuki. I know he's in real danger but we can't interfere. He chose it himself. He has to bear whatever happens." Jack glared at Yuki while explaining. Yuki refused to listen and Jack hit her by the neck, knocking her unconscious.
“Leon..... Do something.... I can't see you like this..... No, I don't want to see you so weak.... Where did that smart and quick Leon go? This is not like you....." Jack thought as he piggybacked Yuki.
“Shit....... Is this it for me...?.... Am I going to die like this....?...." Leon slowly dropped to the ground while the enemy gathered in front of him, all smiling that Leon is going to die.
