Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 48 - : KYLE VS NEMESIS I
The D-day of the final event finally arrived. Kyle woke up, anticipating the battle for today. He had analyzed every move that Nemesis had used during the events, coming up with counter-attacking moves that should stop him in his head, with the practical part being the only thing left after the theory. "It seems that last attack against Abyss is what I should watch out for," Kyle thought. After much preparation, he took his gaming helmet, lay on his bed, and put on the gaming helmet, logging into Apocalypse.
The final event. This time, everyone could watch it live, in 3D, not only through TV. Everyone could log into the game and then get teleported to the spectators' stand of the arena—Victorious. Logging in automatically teleported players to the spectators' stand as spectators. Leveling up and playing the game was impossible from the beginning of the event until the end.
Victorious, an arena with a seating capacity to hold a billion people. How could someone at the end see the actions? Well, it's virtual reality. For the sake of watching the final battle, the system gave every player watching the match live eyes that could zoom in and allow them to watch the match as if they were just a few meters away from the action.
"Woah, I guess the system went all out for the final round," Odin said, sitting in a special seat prepared for the top 16 guild masters. Surprisingly, all of them were present except Jacob, of course. The billion seats filled up faster than anticipated until they were completely occupied.
[The final battle, the battle that decides the number one guild in Apocalypse, begins today.]
[Kyle of Golden Lion Guild vs. Nemesis of Dark Star Guild]
[Players can bet on the guild master they believe will win.]
The system announced, gaining cheers from the spectators—well, not all of them, but most, especially the gambling addicts.
People rushed to stake their bets before the match started—a chance to make free cash couldn't go by. While staking their bets, everyone was surprised. The odds were, well, insane.
Nemesis to win: 1.01
Kyle to win: 100
"Hey, by chance, did the system make a mistake? 'Cause, what the hell is this?" someone said, finding the situation very funny.
"Hah, I guess if the system can glitch, well, I might as well make money out of this opportunity. I'm betting all my coins on Kyle," another person said, believing he had caught his golden goose.
"Exactly! Nemesis might have been impressive, but Kyle has also been pretty impressive if you ask me," another random player said.
"That's true. I'd rather not bet at all than bet on Nemesis, and bro might lose. I know this move—I've been betting before I was born. It's called the decoy move," an experienced gambler admonished others close to him.
"What does 'decoy move' mean?" a random player asked, hoping to get more enlightenment.
"It's simple. They give one team a super low odd to give you a false belief that the team can never lose, forcing you to place a lot of money in the 'safe' bet. Then, puff—your money disappears," the betting expert said.
"Then they give the other team a super high odd to scare you away from betting on them, but deep down, that team is the most likely to win. That's what's happening in this case. The system makes you believe that Nemesis will definitely win, forcing you to place a large sum of money on Nemesis winning. Then, puff—he loses. Goodbye, my money," the expert continued his analysis.
"So you are saying we should bet on Kyle instead?" a random player asked the betting expert.
"Yes, that's what I'm saying. Go with Kyle. I assure you, you will thank me later. I'm staking all my gold coins. Guess I'll be cashing out big this time," the betting expert replied.
"Wow, thanks, man," the random player appreciated the betting expert and staked all his gold coins. The others nearby followed in his footsteps.
All except the betting expert, of course. Fools. You stake only what you can afford to lose—rule number one when it comes to betting, he thought. Well, if it works out, they transfer gold coins to me, thanking me for such wonderful advice. If they lose—well, I won't lose much. I'll cry alongside them about how we staked too much. The betting expert thought to himself, his plan solid as hell.
"So, who do you think will win? The guild master or Kyle?" Charlotte asked Jessica. The two of them sat within the amphitheater to watch the final battle.
"I don't know, Charlotte, but I wish the guild master would win and knock off Kyle's confidence and pride," Jessica replied.
"That's mean, Jess. He's your childhood friend, no matter what you say," Charlotte said to Jessica.
"That killed Greg. Maybe he'll come for me next. All I can say is—I hate him," Jessica said.
"You probably don't know if he killed Greg, though. There's no proof—"
"Alright, are you trying to stand up for Kyle or what? 'Cause it's starting to get infuriating. You know what? Let's just focus on the match."
"Okay," Charlotte replied with a smile, not wanting to anger Jessica any further.
Soon, the time for the match arrived. Kyle and Nemesis were teleported to the arena.
"I was beginning to love the reception room the system gave me. It's a bummer to be teleported to the arena," Kyle muttered.
"I guess it's the final match. I hope it's fun this time—wouldn't want someone to surrender immediately and ruin my fun," Kyle said, his gaze on Nemesis, hoping to spark a reaction. But he got nothing.
It seems he's pretty adept at hiding and masking his feelings. How boring, Kyle thought.
