Chapter 646: Chapter 646 - The Duel That Almost Was (Super Special Chapter)
Tora's livestream of the sparring match between Broken and Frostedge quickly gained traction, with viewers pouring in and the chat lighting up with a flurry of reactions.
[Andthomas4]: "Broken's got this in the bag! Spears dominate swords, no question!"
[Adrian_Hardin]: "Frostedge all the way. That footwork is insane! The guy's untouchable." [Lewis_Cooper_9575]: "How are people underestimating Frostedge? He's literally the best sword fighter in the game! Broken doesn't stand a chance. []"
[Patrick_Raines]: "100 gold says Broken wins! His spear range is insane! ☐☐"
Broken tightened his grip on the spear. He needed to raise his game, to push beyond his limits.
With a deep breath, he steadied himself, focusing entirely on the match. The trials he had endured recently had prepared his body for this moment-this was his chance to prove it. Spinning the spear in a controlled arc above his head, he surged forward, launching a precise and powerful strike.
Clash!
The sharp sound of the blades colliding rang out, echoing through the arena.
Broken pressed the attack, sweeping his spear in fluid, relentless arcs. Frostedge parried each strike with precision, his feet moving in perfect rhythm as he leapt backward to create space. Damn, this guy is so agile.
Adjusting his approach, Broken slashed from the side, aiming to cut off Frostedge's escape. But Frostedge, with incredible reflexes, leapt high into the air, evading the attack entirely.
Before Broken could reposition, Frostedge countered. Not with his sword-no, the man kicked downward with surprising force.
Broken barely managed to retreat, pulling back just as Frostedge's foot passed mere inches from his face.
So fast!
Yet the assault didn't end there. Frostedge used Broken's partially withdrawn spear as a springboard, pushing off and twisting midair to unleash another strike.
Broken raised his arm, narrowly deflecting the kick in time. However, Frostedge immediately followed up with a second, well-aimed kick, driving Broken further back and keeping him on the defensive.
Quickly retreating, Broken adjusted his stance to avoid the rapid strikes. But Frostedge, landing nimbly, pressed the advantage, slashing repeatedly with his sword, each strike closer than the last.
Broken parried furiously, his spear meeting Frostedge's blade in a series of high-speed clashes.
Finally, with a decisive movement, Broken spun his spear, deflecting Frostedge's blade to the side and halting his momentum.
Switching to a more defensive strategy, Broken tightened his guard. Frostedge darted into the attack range, his agility allowing him to exploit every opening for swift, precise strikes.
Clash!
The resounding clang of the two weapons meeting reverberated across the arena. The sheer force of their final collision sent both fighters stumbling backward, momentarily separated by the impact.
[McKenneth_Pearison]: "Bro, why is Frostedge moving like an Assassin? Did he change
classes??"
[Sean_Weil]: "Well, Broken should have the advantage. He has greater attack range with that spear."
[kenneth_burton]: "Maybe, but Frostedge is unbelievably agile."
[Coaltrain]: "Isn't he supposed to be a Magic Sword Fighter? His focus should be on Strength
and Intelligence stats. How is he moving so quickly and fluidly?"
[DaoistLIML10]: "No, he's not as fast as an Assassin like Charmlyn. It's just that his
movements are efficient and perfectly calculated."
[drg573]: "500 gold says this ends in a draw. Who's betting?"
[Twisted_Lives]: "Broken better step it up. This fight's looking rough for him."
[George_Barnhardt]: "Frostedge vs. Charmlyn when?"
[Shiloso00]: "Spears are OP, change my mind. Broken has the advantage here."
[Jamolikai]: "Who else thinks Frostedge's just testing the waters here?"
[FearlessKurono]: "Broken vs. Frostedge feels like a battle that should've happened in the final. This is way too early. []"
[jurgen_tayman]: "I'm just here for the memes and the drama. Who's posting clips later? [" [White RoseFluff]: "Everyone's arguing, but I'm just here for the hype. What a match!"
The chat continued to flood with cheers, debates, and wild speculation as the fight raged on, captivating everyone watching.
Frostedge's movements were polished and precise, executed with an almost unnerving level of care. He hardly made a mistake, while Broken, despite his remarkable performance, occasionally left small openings that Frostedge was quick to exploit.
Yet, thanks to the reach of his spear, Broken managed to parry and evade most of the sword strikes before they could land.
Suddenly, Frostedge's demeanor shifted. His attacks grew more brutal, his strikes faster, and his approach far more aggressive.
He pressed forward-slash, slash-strikes from the left and right, forcing Broken onto the defensive.
[Jonathan_Craig]: "What's happening? Why does he seem so rushed?"
[Dax_Chaney]: "Broken needs to stop playing defensive. Just go for the big hits!"
[Blackout15]: "Spear range doesn't mean much when Frostedge is THIS agile."
Broken, in a momentary misstep, left an opening, and Frostedge's blade struck his shoulder. Broken stepped back, but Frostedge pressed the advantage, his relentless assault giving no room to recover. Though Frostedge's aggressive technique occasionally revealed small gaps, his blinding speed and flawless efficiency made it nearly impossible for Broken to exploit
them.
Damn! This is getting harder.
The crowd watched, holding their breath, tension thick in the air.
[Luke_Phillips_3333]: "The precision from Frostedge is wild. I'm switching sides. "
Another hit landed, this time grazing Broken's arm, followed by a flurry of blows that forced
him further back.
Desperate, Broken spun his spear and launched a counterattack-sweeping strikes, an
overhead swing, and a swift jab from the side.
[Raiho]: "A mistake!"
Everyone could see it: Frostedge deftly slipped past the spear's right side, his body moving like a blur as he closed the distance to Broken.
[Jacob_Gardner_5107]: "Is this it? Is Broken about to lose?!"
Broken instinctively pulled back his spear, trying to parry, but Frostedge's sword was too quick, slashing across Broken's wrist with precision.
Damn!
The blow forced Broken to momentarily lose his grip, the spear slipping from his right hand. Quick to react, he caught it with his left, but Frostedge didn't hesitate. Seizing the momentum, Frostedge pressed forward, his relentless advance driving Broken to retreat even
further.
Another strike landed-this time on Broken's left hand-leaving him reeling from the
impact.
[JustBael]: "This is it! A fatal move! Broken is going to lose!"
The spear slipped from Broken's grip. One more attack, and Frostedge would have claimed
victory.
Frostedge closed the distance, ready to deliver the finishing blow. With a calculated
movement, he knocked Broken's spear.
Damn!
But-!
Suddenly, Frostedge froze mid-step, his figure flickering briefly before vanishing entirely
from the arena.
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
Broken, catching his breath, quickly reclaimed his spear. He spun it once, steadying himself
and assuming his stance again.
Silence hung in the air. Then the chat exploded:
[Mana_of_Void]: "WHAT?! Did Frostedge just... log out?! []"
[Rvoll2010]: "No way. Frostedge doesn't rage quit. Probably got hit with forced logout."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Josh_Minton_5566]: "Force logout? That sucks. But wait, does that mean Broken wins by
default?"
[soulslash_269]: "Technically, yes. But man, this doesn't feel like a proper win." [Daniel_Daye_4365]: "Frostedge was about to finish it! If this fight continued, it's obvious
he would've won!"
[FlippySteve]: "Doesn't matter if he would've won. He's offline, so... Broken's still standing.
"That's a win."
[Corodix]: "This is why live duels need better safeguards against stuff like this. Such a
disappointing end. []"
[AatroxVoid]: "Fight of the year... ruined by a logout. []"
Broken stood silently for a moment after the match.
He... had clearly lost. Frostedge had been forced to log out, which explained the uncharacteristically rushed and
less polished movements near the end. He had been trying to finish the sparring match as quickly as possible before the disconnect.
But in the end, Broken had come dangerously close to defeat. Without the forced logout, there
was no doubt he would have lost. Yet, by the rules, he was the one left standing, making him
the winner. Even if reality told a different story.
Damn! Still, more than frustration, he felt excited. That sparring session had been amazing. He knew
he had to do this again-next time, with no interruptions!
Glancing around, he scanned the faces of the crowd still gathered.
"Sparring is over! Thanks for watching!" he called out with a wave before stepping down from
the arena.
