Chapter 286: Kevin vs. Anna

The friends of Chaewon wondered how a powerhouse like Anna could die.

It must’ve hurt like hell to lose such a precious character. They couldn’t even imagine what they would do if they lost a character of such strength.

They might lose their minds!

"How did you die, if I may ask?"

Kevin asked.

"You may not."

Anna rudely said, which brought an awkward atmosphere around the table, and then Fang Raon coughed.

"Sister, let’s be nice, okay?"

"Why? I am quite pissed off that we need to bring some extra baggage. The two of us are more than capable of getting to the 27th floor, but now we also need to take care of these guys.

"Unnecessary extra weight!"

Anna shouted.

"We are not some useless trash. We can hold our own weight in the fight. You just need to give us a chance."

Kevin said with a serious look on his face.

"Is that so?"

Anna’s lips curled into a scary smile, and Kevin had a chill run down his back, as he had a really bad feeling about this.

"Don’t..."

Fang Raon said with a tired expression, as he had a hunch where this was going, but Anna was already standing up.

"Then show me. Let’s have a fight."

Anna said with a cold smile.

"..."

Kevin gulped.

While he was confident enough in his own strength, this was different from all his previous opponents so far.

Anna had reached the 50th floor in her previous character, and while they were on the same level with these characters, it still didn’t mean that they were on an equal level.

Her strength went beyond that of her level.

’If I say no, she’ll never respect me or my friends. This is also a good chance to show her what I am made of and see the power level of the top even a little bit.’

Kevin stood up from his chair and nodded with a serious look on his face.

"I’ll do it."

Anna just scoffed and then walked down the patio until she reached the sand, and she pulled out her heavy-looking greatsword from her inventory.

Kevin followed her into the sand, and he pulled out his Warrior’s sword and gave it a couple of swings with both hands.

"You can do it, Kevin!"

"G-Go for it!"

Aella and Marina cheered for their friend.

"...Who do you think will win?"

Chaewon asked her boyfriend, who was sitting next to her, and Raon just showed a wry smile.

"Anna will." freewebnovёl.ƈom

He said.

In that moment, Anna sent a Mutual Combat Law challenge request to Kevin—a fight till one of the players reached one health.

Without hesitation, Kevin accepted it and grabbed his sword with both hands.

[FIGHT!]

"Intimidation!"

Anna’s first attack came—Intimidation—which transferred all of her intimidation aura into a staggering attack!

Feeling the full force of the attack, Kevin’s body froze like a statue, and while he could still slightly move his joints, it felt like they were encased in cement.

’I-I-Insane... I-I can’t do... anything!’

Kevin thought with panic slowly creeping into him, and then, Anna softly made her way through the sand.

"Tch, tch, weak."

Anna didn’t cut him down instantly and instead circled around the frozen Kevin, tapping her sword against her palm.

"Since you were this influenced by Intimidation, it means that you’re easily affected by all kinds of fear. You’re a coward, aren’t you?"

Anna asked.

"...Urgh."

Kevin grunted in response, his teeth clenched tightly together.

"Kevin is unable to do anything."

Aella spoke in a shock.

They had never seen him so helpless before. They thought that he was actually a pretty decent fighter from what they’ve seen.

There were a couple times when they met hostile players and had to fight their way through, and Kevin was always able to hold his own.

"I won’t defeat you like this. Would be too easy."

Anna said, and then she snapped her fingers, and the intimidation effect disappeared like it was never there.

"Argh!"

Kevin, with both hands wrapped around the sword’s hilt, swung it at Anna with all of his might—almost like he was swinging a baseball bat, trying to hit a pitcher-thrown curveball.

"Boring."

Anna slightly adjusted her body position, and the sword’s blade grazed past her hair, cutting few strands.

If that had hit, Anna’s head would’ve definitely gone rolling, but she knew exactly how much she needed to dodge.

"Huff!"

Kevin wound up for another swing and swung the sword sideways, but again, he missed Anna just barely.

"Tch!"

This time around, Kevin looked quite pissed, as he always thought that it was going to hit, but it just barely missed.

’How am I this unlucky?!’

Kevin thought it was just pure luck.

However.

It was actually just Anna using Read to completely read his movements to adjust her position to dodge those strikes.

There was zero luck involved.

"DIE!"

Kevin lifted the sword high above his head, about to bring it down, as if he intended to cut the ground in half.

"Hahaha!"

Anna burst into laughter, and she then drove her greatsword forward, and it went through Kevin’s chest until it emerged from his back.

"COUGH!"

Kevin coughed out blood, and he lost his strength in his arms, and his sword harmlessly came back down and stabbed into the sand.

"I was planning to dodge a few more attacks, but this was too ridiculous of an opportunity to pass on.

"You left your entire body defenseless. Genuinely, what the hell are you even doing? It was like you were asking for me to kill you.

"If you do such an idiotic mistake, how can I rely on you during raids? During raids, there is no room for errors!"

Anna screamed angrily.

"Ugh..."

Kevin had no words and saw his health drop all the way to one, and he received a message of the fight ending.

Anna won.

"Do you see, brother?"

Anna turned around and asked.

"Everyone makes mistakes. They’ll learn from those mistakes. We can’t expect everyone to have been training with swords since they were children like we have."

Fang Raon said.

"That’s not the point. The point is that these guys are dead weight."

Anna said.

"They will just be with us till the 12th floor. The floors get quite a bit harder from now on, and it doesn’t hurt to have a Helper like Chaewon with us.

"If you really don’t want them to get in the way, they can always stand at the back while we do all the work.

"Either way, they’re coming with us."

Fang Raon said.

"ARGH!"

Anna angrily screamed, and then she pulled open her interface and angrily pressed on the "Log Out" button.

She vanished.

"Kevin, are you alright?!"

Marina hurried to Kevin’s side and then saw how angry he seemed as he suffered a really great defeat.

"Heal."

Chaewon cast a healing spell, and Kevin’s health started to slightly restore, and so did the massive sword wound on his chest.

"Your sister... is not very friendly."

Aella said with an awkward smile.

"She is... a hard nut to crack. Don’t take it to the heart."

Fang Raon said.

"...I need a drink."

Kevin walked back to the patio, took out some drinks from his inventory, and began pouring one for him and Bobby.

"Cheers!" freёwebnovel.com

Bobby lifted the cup, clinked glasses with Kevin, and downed the drink in one gulp.

Marina and Aella also then joined them, each holding a drink of their own, and slowly, even Kevin’s mood started to slightly improve.

They were now on the beautiful 6th floor. Beautiful sand and ocean surrounding them. They were sitting on the patio of the gorgeous villa.

They had no time for a sour mood, as they could finally enjoy their time after fighting their way through the Newbie Floors.

During the Newbie Floors, they barely had time to relax, but now, they were finally able to unwind and soak in the beautiful scenery.

"...Walk with me, Raon."

Chaewon said with a smile and grabbed Raon’s hand, and he looked at her beautiful flushed face and nodded.

He noticed that she was having a blush. It made her very alluring. And his heartbeat started to beat slightly faster.

Hand-in-hand, they walked into the villa.

"...You think they are going to... You know?"

Aella asked with flushed cheeks of her own.

With embarrassment, Marina lowered her eyes and then briefly glanced at Kevin, who was just enjoying his drink.

It didn’t look like he wanted to think about it.

...

Creak~!

Chaewon opened a door to an unoccupied room. It was a pretty room with a nice-sized bed under a window and a vase of fresh flowers on the nightstand.

It was a room over at the third floor. Thus, the window was able to see the ocean in all its glory, stretching beyond the horizon.

"...It’s nice."

Fang Raon said.

In that moment, Chaewon let go of his hand, walked to the bed, and sat down, facing Raon with a smile on her face.

The moonlight shone through the window and illuminated her features, making her look even more beautiful.

"I want to do it with you."

Chaewon said with blushed cheeks.

Fang Raon gulped, as he wasn’t dense and knew what the "it" meant, and he felt his body getting very warm.

As if someone turned on the heat suddenly in the room.

"Me too..."

Fang Raon took a deep breath, slowly approached the bed, and reached his hand out towards Chaewon.

Slowly caressing her cheek, she pressed her face into his hand, closing her eyes in contentment.

Then, Raon put his knee on the bed and lowered his face towards her, closing the gap between them.

Their lips met in a soft and passionate kiss, and Raon’s hand slowly went towards her smooth thigh, and he gently caressed it with his fingertips.

Chaewon’s body shuddered. It was like she got electrocuted. Her cheeks got even redder, and she then lay down on the bed.

Her hair was splayed out around her head like a halo.

"I am all yours..."

She said with a soft, breathy voice.
