Villain Is on Vacation

Chapter 118 Trying To Climb Higher (2)



After defeating the Pink Princess, Rain continued to fight. 

The second opponent he encountered was a delinquent guy with a bunch of tattoos. He wore leather armor with dragon art. 

Rain saw that guy's name.

"Dragon Warrior" 

Total Duels: 769 (507 wins, 255 lose, 7 draws) 

*Press here to see more details*

'Have encountered some old dude?' Rain wondered. There are some people who keep fighting other people in virtual reality to hone their skills. 

Rain had two opinions for them. Either these guys were scared of the fighting or they liked fighting too much.

That guy waved his hand at Rain. However, Rain wasn't interested in greetings. He was tight on time. 

As Rain had made his details private. The other guy only saw Rain's record. It was just 1 fight. He snickered. 

"Let me guide this newbie." He smirked.

On the other hand, Rain used shadow walk and in the blink of an eye he was near the other guy. He slashed the other guy's throat in no time.

[You won.] 

That Dragon Warrior kept watching Rain as his body was disappearing.

After that, Rain found another match.

While Rain was finding another match. That Dragon Warrior was gnashing his teeth.

"This humiliation to me.

I will never forget."

He also started finding other matches.

'Just let me get a chance to fight you again. I will beat you to a pulp.' he swore. Soon he saw a message.

[Appropriate Match Found.]

When he reappeared in the arena. He saw a man with Daggers in both hands, staring at him blankly.

"FUCK!!" These were his last words before he died again.

...

While Dragon Warrior was shouting in rage at his home, Rain kept playing matches.

Whoever his opponents were, swordsman, archer, mage, or martial artist, Rain defeated them easily in one move. He was now making his name as a Death God Thanatos.

If you keep defeating opponents in the Arena consecutively, the streak will keep increasing and AI will deem that your level is higher so it will start matching up you with higher-ranking opponents. 

After all, people come to the arena to hone their skills and get combat experience, so AI tries to match opponents with the same power level. 

In less than half an hour, Rain had already defeated more than 25 opponents. 

'It's so boring. When will AI give me a proper opponent?' Rain murmured as he started finding another match.

He was going to enter the top 100 million soon. 

[Appropriate Match Found.]

Soon, Rain's opponent appeared. 

This time the opponent was a woman. She was wearing light blue leather armor and there was a beautiful staff in her hand.

"Misty" (78 matches, 78 wins, 0 loses, 0 draws) 

As her account was also private like Rain, anyone can't see more details. 

The girl also viewed Rain's name.

"Thanatos?" The girl mumbled. As she was wearing a mask you couldn't see her face. However, she looked good from the outline.

"You are that Thanatos who beat my sister? Looks like luck isn't on your side." Misty said. 

Rain just tilted his head. In those matches, he had defeated countless girls. He didn't know which one this girl was talking about.

Still, he didn't care who was this Misty and who was her sister. He had met enough people now. He didn't want to waste his time in arguing with some stupid woman.

Still, he put Misty in high regard as she had already won 78 times consecutively. In the Arena, the dangerous ones aren't that old dudes.

The dangerous ones are this type of people who keep winning all the way. Making a streak is hard, after all.

As a skilled sorceress, Misty knew that she had to act quickly if she wanted to defeat Rain. Without hesitation, she began casting spells, launching a barrage of ice arrows toward him.

Rain quickly realized he was in danger. The sheer number of ice arrows made it seem as though he might not be able to win. In an effort to evade the attacks, he utilized a shadow walk.

However, even with his evasive maneuvers, Rain's health was slowly depleting from the onslaught of ice arrows.

He knew that he needed to come up with a new strategy if he wanted to survive this fight. At that time, he threw both of his daggers.

As Misty noticed the daggers approaching her, she conjured a wall of ice in front of her, hoping to block the incoming attacks.

One of the daggers struck the wall and was successfully blocked, but the second one changed its trajectory and pierced through a gap in Misty's armor.

The dagger struck true, instantly defeating her and ending the battle.

Meanwhile, Rain still had 33% of his health remaining

[You won.] 

Seeing the message, Rain smirked.

"Twilight Mist Sword Art really does wonders." Rain mused.

Apparently, while throwing daggers Rain used Twilight Mist Sword Art, the sword art specializes in misdirection, faint, and surprise attacks. 

Rain anticipated that Misty would try to block his daggers with an ice wall, so he came up with a plan to outsmart her.

As he hurled his first dagger towards Misty, he executed the Twilight Mist Sword Art, causing the dagger to veer off course and miss its intended target.

This made Misty believe that Rain had made an error in his aim and that she had successfully blocked his attack with her ice wall.

However, Rain had already planned his next move.

With the second dagger, he used the Twilight Mist Sword Art to create an illusion of the weapon's trajectory.

Misty believed that the second dagger was also being directed towards her, and she focused all her attention on trying to block it with an ice wall. 

Unbeknownst to Misty, the second dagger was nothing but a distraction.

As she was busy defending herself from the phantom dagger, the real dagger was on the other way, it revealed its true route when the first one hit the ice wall.

Because of that, it looked like it was changing its route. 

As Rain was replaying to his match with Misty in his head, a message came.

[It is detected that you have entered in the top 100 million for the first time. It is a huge achievement.]

[You are rewarded with '1 free pass for the e-library' (Copper). Do you want to receive it or accumulate your reward?] 

Rain chose to accumulate the reward without any hesitation. 

The E-library has a massive collection of books. However, all books aren't made public. Many books are private and most of them are skill manuals or a good amount of information. 

Rain wanted it. However, with a copper pass, he would only be able to choose trash skill. He can even take those skills by hacking the database. 

As he was just Advanced Programmer, he couldn't hack anything with high security. So he was aiming for that part.

Just when Rain was going to find another match, a friend request came. 

It was from Misty. As she was a talented mage, Rain thought of conversing with her.

So he accepted the friend request. 

However, Rain still clicked to find another match. 

Misty: "Hello."

Rain: ...

Misty: ?

Rain: ??

Misty: ???

Rain was fighting his new opponent who was an archer while chatting with Misty.

However, Misty wasn't sending anything much. 

Soon Rain defeated his opponent in one shot.

"Looks like she is making fun of me. 

Was it because I broke her streak or did I beat her sister in one move?" Rain wondered.

He stopped chatting and started fighting another match.

***

[Dawn City]

In Dawn City, stood a magnificent mansion, exuding opulence and grandeur.

Within the mansion, in a lavishly decorated room, a girl was perusing her list of friends.

As she scrolled down, her gaze fixated on the status of her acquaintance - ['Thanatos'] - which displayed "fighting". 

However, he was chatting while fighting and only sending a string of question marks.

With a cold and impassive expression, she continued to stare at the screen.

"Sister Misty, what happened? Did you win?" Another girl asked. She looked younger compared to Misty.

"No, I lost, Erie. My winning streak also broke." Misty said as she shrugged her shoulders.

Hearing this Erie laughed.

"Hahahahaha. I told you. He is more talented than you. However, you didn't agree." Erie said while laughing.

Apparently, Erie's character name in virtual reality is ['pink princess']. When she faced a lost against Rain, her intuition told her - Rain was a very talented and skilled fighter. So she told her big sister about Rain. 

However, Misty, being one of the most skilled people in the world, was confident in her abilities and did not believe that someone she did not know could surpass her skills.

"Looks like he is really talented as you said," Misty remarked. After fighting with Rain, she noticed that Rain had good amount of combat experience and sharp sense.

"I told you," Erie made a smug look and asked, "Why don't you talk with him?" asked.

As Erie said this, Misty turned her face towards her chat with Rain. Both of them only sent question marks to each other.

As Erie was curious, she came near Misty and saw the chat in hologram.

Erie peered at the chat and broke out into raucous laughter. "Oh my god, you two are clueless," she said through giggles. She couldn't control her laughter.

Misty's ears got red because of embarrassment. She shot a warning look at Erie. "You better watch yourself, Erie. I won't hold back in our next spar."

Hearing this Erie sobered up, but a sly smile remained on her face.

"Looks like my big sister has finally found someone who can give her a run for her money," she thought to herself. She chuckled inwardly at the prospect of Misty having a worthy rival as Rain.
