MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God

Severus visited Rudra in the parents VIP box, as the first thing he said to the human god was not greetings or business, rather it was a warning.

" God Shakuni, sir I must implore that you maintain the story that you have come here to support the Saint Maximus Clan's talents, which are both Asiva and Ravan.

Please do not reveal you are here for your brother to anyone.

Max strictly wishes to keep his earth and Sigma life separate ".

Rudra nodded, he was not at all against this arrangement, if it were up to him, he would have never even come to the university, according to his personal beliefs family support during a fight only brought humiliation to a fighter.

He had no intentions of publicly chanting Max's name or putting up banners, however he could not say the same for his wife.

" Honey, please don't use the ' Go Max Go ' posters you made, you heard the guy no? "

Naomi's face flushed in a deep red, she had spent the last 24 hours preparing all sorts of banners and posters to support Max, but it seemed like it would all go down the drain now.

( Meanwhile Max )

It was fight day, and all fighters were given their private dressing room and a healer in the oval arena, as the opponents of the draw were finally revealed.

Max's first opponent was a tier 2 mage called Elyon.

He was a 2nd year senior in the university, a rare breed who did not manage to qualify the first time around.

Ever since missing the cutoff for the tournament the previous year, he worked hard to enter the top 10,000 this time around and along with 3 other oldies managed to get past the team rounds.

He was given a 3% chance of winning the tournament overall, which was slightly above average, whereas Max was given a 1.4% probability to win the overall tournament which was slightly below average.

Max had seen Elyon fight sometimes in the wild while farming merit points, and he knew that Elyon had two notable attacks that he needed to be wary off.

His first attack was ' Bind '.

It was a tier 1 spell that spawned tree vines to restrain an enemy from the ground to restrict their movement for 3-5 seconds.

It was a spell that he must evade, because Elyon could spam it multiple times, and the kicker spell that he had was called 'twin headed flamethrower' which he used to critically damage the enemy once he was restricted.

This was entirely the reason why Max felt like he would be able to win this fight easily, because the strongest spell of the enemy was the tier two spell called twin headed flamethrower and Max was an individual who was immune to flame damage under tier 3 because of the Agni Astra.

Apart from these spells his enemy also had a powerful defensive spell called wind wall, which was the wind version of Max's flame wall, however, it was a good way to mount defence.

Going into the fight, Drax gave Max 3 important pieces of advice.

1)do not get caught up in the vines

2) maintain a close proximity and attempt hand-hand combat

3) never become complacent and always assume that the enemy has a hidden card left.

While Max only focused on his strengths before the fight and the enemy's weaknesses, Drax did the opposite.

Drax reminded Max that the opponent was a year senior to him and had spent two years inside the university honing his craft.

Not only was he a tier higher than Max, he was already 30 levels into tier 2 at level 130 which meant that Max was most likely going to be outdone by the mage even in Max's strong suits like speed.

Although Max had a decent chance to win the fight, he needed to approach it with a level head and an analytical approach.

As Max prepared his strategy, the tournament officially kicked off and the first fighters took the stage.

The roaring sound of the crowd was almost deafening, and even Max felt a little pumped when he saw the two fighters Duke it out in the arena.

Max's fight was scheduled to be the third one of the day, with the second fight being between Asiva and Keane Kingsman.

While Max was only mildly interested in the first fight, he was sure that the second one was going to be absolutely brutal.

*********

( Meanwhile Asiva )

Asiva stocked her weapons and drank high grade human blood to bring her Satiety to a 100% before the fight.

She did the ritualistic reflex training of flipping her daggers and catching the tip with her thumb and little finger, as taught to him by her dad before the fight to get her mind in a sharp working condition and his body muscles co-ordinated with the brain.

There were thousands of media individuals present in the arena audience, as well as some of her own defeated clansmen.

The piece of trash clan leader of the Kingsman clan Will Kingsman did not come to support his children, however, Asiva was sure that after this humiliating defeat he would see her face at least once.

She would make sure that he slept tonight knowing that Asiva Paratus was still out for his blood.

This fight was personal for Asiva, she and the Kingsman had butted heads all over the semester and with the Kingsman pulling a fast one over her in the round one of the team fights, Asiva only prayed to the gods to give her one go at them in the individual rounds so that she could get her revenge.

Luckily for her, the gods had granted her wish, and now without a dozen henchmen to hide behind, nobody could save Keane Kingsman from her wrath.

As the first fight ended, the officials signalled for Asiva to come up to the oval arena, as she clutched her daggers and walked with pride onto the fighting stage.
