The battle between Kaizen and Kevneth was being broadcast worldwide, with real-time narration in the ten most widely spoken languages, and everyone was anxious to see who would emerge victorious.

On one side was a famous and mysterious player, whose face was as mysterious as his class and background. This was Kaizen.

On the other side was a player who had gradually gained fame by posting videos of his fights on Rise Online's own video platform, and who attracted attention for having the rare Guan Yu class, a class with expertise in the use of long spears.

And the battle between them was very close. Incredibly, both of them were using similar spears, and yet the exchange of blows between them was fierce. These two players were already at a completely different level than most, as they were able to masterfully analyze their opponent's individual macro skills, so it was expected that this battle would be decided in the smallest details.

With a bold move, Kaizen jumped up and then dove towards Kevneth, spinning the spear in a wide arc and delivering a powerful blow. The spear pierced Kevneth's defense and grazed his shoulder, causing him to recoil with a grunt of pain.

"Urghhh!"

Kaizen took advantage of the opening and quickly moved away, preparing for another attack. He could not be greedy and try to finish the enemy before time, for that could be his undoing.

"You're better at this than I expected. Are you some kind of monster?" Kevneth inquired, even wounded, but still seemingly unwilling to give up.

The Psyker remained silent, staring at Kevneth with narrowed eyes. He suspected that Kevneth was hiding something.

"Anyway, whether you're a monster or not, it doesn't matter. I've gotten used to defeating high-level creatures lately." Kevneth said, brandishing his spear and moving towards Kaizen again.

In response to Kaizen's move, Kaizen also moved forward, and in a moment, the two fighters were face to face again, gazing into each other's eyes, determined to win, the handles of their spears measuring their strength. The battle continued with a series of rapid movements that were barely noticeable to normal players, but caused shockwaves that kept the snow from falling on them. The styles of spear use were completely different. While Kaizen used the agility and speed of his spear, Kevneth relied on his experience and the amount of Strength attributes to try to counterattack. The snow around them was now scarred with countless footprints, testimony to the intensity of the battle.

At one point, Kaizen unleashed a series of quick blows, using the pulsing energy of the Able Fury Spear to strike with ferocity. Kevneth blocked or deflected the blows with his spear, but clearly struggled to defend against Kaizen's powerful and numerous attacks. At a crucial moment, Kaizen made a risky move, leaping directly at Kevneth and delivering an angled blow with his spear, catching him off guard. Kevneth tried to dodge, but was struck in the shoulder and suffered another wound near his lower back. He staggered back, momentarily stunned.

This time, Kaizen seized the opportunity and stepped forward to attempt a final blow, concentrating all his remaining strength into one powerful attack. In one swift and precise motion, he sliced through Kevneth's defense, swinging the tip of his spear once, and as the blades collided, the tip of Kevneth's spear broke, sending him to his knees in the snow, all but defeated.

Kaizen looked at the fallen Kevneth, breathing heavily, and lowered his spear. He knew he had won, but he was also exhausted from the intense battle. Spectators around the world watched in shock and awe, amazed at the skill and dexterity of the two players.

Kevneth, though defeated, still had a smile on his face. He slowly stood up, using his broken spear as a prop, looked at Kaizen with respect, and said:

"You are truly impressive, Kaizen. That was one of the best fights I've ever had in Rise Online. He extended his hand to greet Kaizen, but Kaizen did not return the greeting.

Kaizen looked at Kevneth with a serious expression, suspecting that his opponent still had a trick up his sleeve. He kept his guard up and did not accept Kevneth's greeting.

"You can't fool me," Kaizen said with a piercing stare. "You fought well, but surely that's not all you're capable of. What are you hiding?"

The way Kaizen asked was inquisitive, and the way he looked at Kevneth made him feel as if Kaizen was looking into him. Kevneth frowned, surprised by Kaizen's accusation. But he neither denied nor confirmed the suspicion.

"You are quite perceptive, Kaizen," Kevneth said with an enigmatic smile. "But don't overestimate me because of my fame..."

Actually, Kaizen didn't even know who Kevneth was, he was just suspicious because Kevneth's attributes were hidden from him, and usually when Kaizen faced creatures or players with that trait, the battles were difficult. Psyker crossed his arms and stared at Kevneth, determined to find out the truth. He was not willing to let anything pass that might threaten him.

"Whatever you are hiding, I will find out," Kaizen said with determination. "But for now, accept your defeat. You were a formidable opponent, but you were no match for me."

Kevneth nodded, accepting the defeat with dignity.

"You really are as skilled as they said you were for me, Kaizen," he said. "I hope our paths cross again in Rise Online. Until then, good luck."

Both players were practically applauded for their performance in the battle, and the real-time narration continued to praise the skill and strategy of both spear users. The battle was visually balanced, but it was clear to the players all along that Kevneth had no chance against Kaizen, and many of the players watching around the world felt the same way, as Kevneth was unable to land any significant blows against Kaizen.

After the match, Kaizen and Kevneth greeted each other with a nod of the head, and the Psyker finished off his opponent for a total of 26 slaughters, putting him in the top 15.
