Another World Mall

Chapter 548 Fight

The banquet was filled with a lot of exciting battles as the scions from other families, organizations, or companies ended up challenging one another.

Still, the one most anticipated was the battle between Rivain and Clovis. After all, Clovis had just piqued the interest of the Elseigarde family.

It seemed that Rivain wanted to stop him from growing even further and suppress him.

Meanwhile, they couldn't really support Clovis, especially with that boast of his.

If he could really win against Rivain, everyone's opinion would definitely change.

That was why this battle would be important for the stability he sought in this country. It would also be the foundation of cooperation between him and the Elseigarde family.

He couldn't care less about another Tier 9 family, but Hana would definitely need it. That was why he had to do it.

Because everyone knew about the second session, they didn't forget to bring their battle gear, thinking they would be challenged by others.

Clovis had changed to his usual outfit, which was practical but by no means armor made of precious metal or rare monster's carcass.

Meanwhile, Rivain was covering his head, body, arms, and legs with armor. His weapons seemed to be gloves, which made Clovis wonder if they were strong enough to handle him or not.

Still, Rivain expressed his fighting and killing intent as he glared at him.@@@@

The arena was just a simple rectangular-shaped platform one meter above the ground.

The people could see them fighting from underneath the platform.

They never thought that the first battle would be between a Tier 5 human and someone who just became a Tier 3 human not long ago.

"Hmm..." Christina furrowed her eyebrows. "Something is wrong."

Lues glanced at his daughter. "Did you find anything?"

He tossed a coin into the air and leaped backward, giving them the space to fight.

Both sides leaped toward each other.

Rivain punched Clovis with all his strength while the latter raised both swords, trying to receive this punch to measure Rivain's strength.

To his surprise, the punch overwhelmed Clovis right away, blowing him back for more than five meters.

Rivain continued onward, not letting Clovis have the chance to catch a breath.

When Rivain was about to reach him, Clovis took a deep breath, using his fastest speed to stop his punch. He struck the fist multiple times, which was blocked by the thin plate within the gloves.

As a result, Clovis had to stop and block this attack, resulting in him getting pushed back again.

"It's useless. You might have the ability to fight a Tier 4 when you are a Tier 2, but that's because the gap between those two tiers is not as immense as the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 5." Rivain shouted.

"You can't be so sure about that." Clovis shook his head. He still remained calm as he had an experience against a Tier 5 human.

Still, Rivain was stronger than the assassin he faced back then, so this would definitely not be an easy fight. He didn't have Reolf or any advantage either.

There were two things that had changed from that battle. First, Clovis had become a Tier 3. The second change was that he had the paintings.

That was why, after understanding Rivain's strength, Clovis took a deep breath, slowing down the world he saw even further.

"In that case, I will break your right hand with this punch!" Rivain punched him again.

Instead of defending against this punch, Clovis moved toward Rivain as closely as possible before tilting his body. His punch would still come from the right side, which was supposed to be his right hand.

Yet Clovis actually didn't bother to protect his right side, taking advantage of the defense from his clothes to absorb the damage.

It still grazed him pretty badly, but as a result, Clovis managed to pass Rivain's defense and used his full speed to strike him.
