Chapter 331: System Notice

In the depths of his mind, Akun’s thoughts raced as he called out to the system. "What do you mean by this?" he silently questioned, hoping for some form of understanding.

In response, the system’s voice echoed saying. †[You locked the status window of the target from being viewed by you.]†

Akun’s brows furrowed in confusion, his mind grappling with the implications of the system’s words. "I still don’t understand," he muttered aloud, frustration tingeing his voice. "Are you saying that I locked Alaric’s status window, so I won’t look at Aric’s status window?"

†[Yes.]†

The system’s response only make Akun even more confused, "But when did I do that?" he persisted, his voice filled with frustration. "And why would I lock the status window of someone I don’t even know? And what did you mean by ’my privilege was low’ earlier?"

†[All information regarding the target -Aric- Is locked, hence the system cannot answer that question.]†

†[The player locked the status window with a higher system privilege than he currently has access to, hence the notice.]†

Akun furrowed his brow in confusion, trying to understand what the system had just revealed. "This is making even less sense," he muttered incredulously. "System? Since when did I need privileges to access your functions?"

†[Unfortunately, the player doesn’t possess enough privilege to access this information.]†

As Kaldarix and Aric clashed swords, their movements were a blur of speed and skill. Kaldarix surged forward, his purple mana swirling around him like a tempest. With a mighty swing of his golden sword held firmly in his right hand, he aimed for Aric’s left side.

Aric, his black Aspect power pulsing with his black mana, anticipated the attack and swiftly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding Kaldarix’s strike, a huge gust of wind was created in the after math of the attack. In response, he countered with a swift thrust of his own, aiming for Kaldarix’s chest with his sword held firmly in his left hand.

Kaldarix, caught sight if this, he deflected the blow with a quick parry, the clash of their swords sending sparks flying in all directions. With a serious expression, he followed up with a series of rapid strikes, aiming to overwhelm Aric with sheer speed and ferocity.

Aric, undeterred, matched Kaldarix blow for blow each clash of their swords caused massive shockwaves that practically shook the arena, his movements fluid and precise as he moved around. With each clash of their swords, the shockwaves rippled through the air, causing the ground beneath them to tremble.

The shher strength behind their sword swings left massive marks on the ground everytime the other dodged, their footsteps echoing off the walls as they exchanged blow after blow. Despite the intensity of their fight, neither warrior showed any signs of slowing down, their movements fueled by sheer excitmen and the desire for victory.

As their battle raged on, Kaldarix couldn’t shake off his curiosity about Aric’s identity. "Who is this human? He’s able to match my attacks blow for blow, it’s almost like he knows my sword style. He’s moving his body the same way I’m moving mine," he thought.

Despite Akun’s words to not go all out, Kaldarix knew that if he didn’t display an even greater level of strength, he wouldn’t be able to end this battle.

Meanwhile, Aric continued to taunt Kaldarix with his mocking words. "Come on, dragon lord! Show me what you’ve got! Don’t tell me this was how you fought when you defended your home against the gods." Aric’s words caused Kaldarix to experience flashbacks again, images of Arcadia and his people destroyed and killed when he clashed with the gods.

The images that flashed before his eyes caused him to lose concentration. He instantly slowed down as he felt another sharp pain in his head. Aric noticed this and smiled. In that instant, he proceeded to land a kick on Kaldarix’s abdomen.

The impact of Aric’s kick sent a massive shockwave rippling out from Kaldarix’s body, causing him to stagger backward, his expression surprisingly blank.
