Sword Rankers
Hyper Who Beat The Ranker

Zrsssss....

Heavy rain continues to pour the ground, trees, leaves, grass and flowers do not escape the rush of rain

Under the giant tree, there was Ran who was sheltering from the rain. He was lucky enough to find this giant tree, its large and strong branches, managed to protect Ran from the torrent of rain.

Ran clenched his feet while hiding among the giant roots, as much as possible he warmed his body.

Chilling... Hungry too, if I knew this, I should have worn thicker clothes. Where is this actually? It was like in an ordinary forest, but somehow there was something strange about this place

Ran looked around, trying to find something to eat. Then he saw something round and red between the roots and the ground. Ran took.

It was an apple, looking very ranum and seductive, without a second thought Ran immediately ate it, "Enak.." Ran said reflexively.

Ran continues to eat the apple until it runs out, not quite filling, but at least Ran was not as hungry as before.

Ran straightened his feet that already felt sore, he stared straight up, to where the leaves and giant twigs that protect him from the rain.

And unconsciously, Ran closed his eyes, his fatigue managed to defeat his hunger.

It didn't take long until Ran finally fell asleep...

a few hours later.

"Ugh.... My head's dizzy..." Ran got up while yawning, he scratched his head.

Ran was still half-conscious, he was not aware of how fatal the thing he had done was. It took a few minutes until Ran was fully conscious.

"Eh? Ehhhh.....!?" Ran immediately stood up in panic he put the position of the horses carelessly while looking right-left to check around.

The atmosphere was still dark, but the rain had left its mark clearly, the soil around was wet, the place of sleeping was not spared from the water, the clothes Ran was wearing became wet and moist.

Ran's heart was pounding, his adrenaline was rising drastically, he could not calm down until he finished making sure things were completely safe.

After a little calm, Ran immediately sat down limp, "Hahhhhh..... Damn, I'm so careless, I can fall asleep because I'm a little tired. I was lucky enough this time, no one attacked me while I was sleeping. But maybe next I won't be this lucky."

After his mind was clear, Ran stood up and walked away, he realized, at this time he was alone, he would not be able to defend one territory. Thus, the only option Ran could take was to keep walking avoiding another Hyper.

While walking, Ran checked his vital condition on the bracelet he was wearing. It was seen that his previous HP had dropped drastically to the number 100, slowly recovering to the number 200.

HP written on Ran's bracelet, has the same concept as HP on video game characters, this is likened to the lives of the participants.

But, HP here has been set to run out in living conditions, and not to death too so that the lives of the participants are not in danger. If the HP is up, the participants will be sent automatically to the 'Wait Space' for the losing participants.

Not full, but at least there's a rise.

Ran walked without direction, he did not have a clear goal, as much as possible he wanted to avoid other participants and survive without fighting.

Deg

Ran suddenly felt a strong pressure.

Bumm....

A huge explosion followed right after the pressure appeared, Ran felt the surrounding area sway, leaves falling from the blast.

The explosion was not far from Ran's place, only a few tens of meters away.

Instinctively, Ran knew he had to escape to avoid the scene of the explosion.

But, one name came up when Ran first felt that pressure.

"William Austin!" The pressure that previously appeared was very similar to the pressure that Ran felt when meeting with William Austin.

The pressure is very dominating, while giving a sense of admiration.

Ran wanted to run away, but his curiosity after hearing Tim's story, overcame his fear, "I wonder how powerful Hyper can be to defeat that Ranker."

Taps... Taps... Taps...

Ran was recklessly towards the place of the explosion earlier, he penetrated the lush foliage to get to that place.

It didn't take long for Ran to arrive, and the closer he got, the pressure around him felt stronger. Ran felt goosebumps the more he approached William's place, the more he slowed down his path in order to be careful.

Then, when Ran arrived at William Austin's place, Ran was deliberately located far enough from the fight area so that William was not aware. He peeked a little while squatting.

There, William was surrounded by many people, there were at least 7 people and they were all not weak, at least from the pressure they exerted, they were more or less equal to Rocky.

Each of them carried weapons, some carried spiked iron balls bound with chains, some carried tonfa, some carried spears, some carried pistols, others carried weapons, some even carry swords.

Those surrounding William looked exhausted, while William still looked fine.

This time, not only was William's right hand wrapped in iron armor, but his left hand was also clad in matching iron armor. Ran was also aware that William's legs were also wrapped in iron armor even though only feet.

Ran also realized something, William's fight area was not a naturally formed place, there were remnants from the roots of trees, flowers and grasses that had been destroyed in that place.

And right in front of William, in one large straight line, the ground in front of him was eroded long, as were the trees, grasses and flowers that were in a straight line, too, everything shattered unceasingly, as if a gigantic cylinder beam was dropped from the sky and pushed straight forward. Seen blood spots littering the ground.

"Based monster! How could a Hyper possess such power!?"

"Damn it, I told you it's a bad idea to attack William."

Some of the people surrounding William, shouting in fear, they seemed to have lost their fighting spirit. As for the rest, pinning their last hope with great difficulty.

"Hahh..... Basic, it's like a rumor well, wahhh~ is hard. But giving up here is embarrassing too, right?" A man carrying tonfa, already looks frustrated, but at the same time does not want to give up.

The Tonfa holder gave his friends a cue, "Prepare friends!" He put up a position ready to attack, his friends followed him.

William also put up horses.

The Tonfa holder twirled his Tonfanya, he spoke to William, "Hey William Austin, I heard you grew up in a luxurious neighborhood right?"

William was silent without giving an answer, but a glance of his forehead twitching showed a sign of dislike.

The Tonfa holder again spoke, "You may not know, but this Tonfa I am using is not an indiscriminate weapon, this is a weapon made by a great Blacksmith who used to sell weapons to wild Rankers, he said, yeah, of course Hyper like we can buy it too."

"What do you want to say?" For the first time, William responded to their words.

"Finally you're talking, well, I thought you were a robot, simple as I said, so the point is, this weapon is not easily destroyed!" After finishing his sentence, the Tonfa holder immediately shot towards William.

The ground that he had made the thrusters instantly cracked, in an instant he arrived before William.

William immediately raised his fist, the Tonfa man dodged it just by shifting his head slightly.

Boom...

William's punch created an explosion.

The tonfa man ignored it and attacked William's face using a short section of his tonfas.

William set the necessary distance to avoid the tonfa's attack. But then, the tonfa man twisted his tonfas, the long part of the tonfa, hitting William's neck hard.

"Ukhs.." William lost his balance, he staggered to the side, and at that very moment, one of their flocks was moved.

Prak...

One of their comrades holding a long spear from China, named Guan Dao, attacked William's wrist.

The spear was stuck in the iron armor that enveloped William, he seemed to grimace a little when hit by the attack.

William immediately pulled out his spear-stamped hand, but the spear holder instead let go of his spear willingly.

"Raise 500 Kilograms!" The spear holder shouted.

A moment later, William's right hand immediately felt heavy.

Bruck...

Half William's body collapsed on the ground due to the heavy weight on his right arm.

The Tonfa holder in front of William smiled cynically, "Heh! Shocked huh? That's our partner's ability, he can change the weight of things he's touched."

"Then why? I won't lose just because of this." William confidently swung his right arm towards the man before him.

But his movements became very slow. The man before him dodged William's attack casually.

Buk up! Tubs! Buk up! Tubs! Buk up!

The tonfa holder attacked William mercilessly using his tonfas. He attacked randomly, even he often changed the direction of his attacks.

William increasingly found it difficult to avoid him due to the weight on his right arm.

"Curtain!" William clicked his tongue while defending with his left hand.

"Wahaha! I never thought there would be a day when I could beat up the famous William Austin! Hey guys, don't shut up, he can't do anything anymore!" Shouted the Tonfa man.

His friends were immediately moved to see William who could only survive, half of them who were wearing melee weapons, advancing towards William, while the one wearing the ranged weapon, was, directly aim with all their strength.

In this situation, William took the decision, "I may not want to use it, but this situation is difficult to handle if not serious." Whisper William slowly.

In a defensive position, William opened his palm, then he whispered very quietly, "Come up, my sword..."

Sringggs....

A flash of light appeared from William's right waist, it formed a long sword.

The Hyper who attacked from afar, commemorating those who attacked at close range, "Hey be careful, he intends to do something!"

But, they ignored the warning and went forward lustfully, "Whispering! He'll be done if we attack together, focus on attacking!"

Just as everything was about to attack William, a silver-colored sword appeared on William's waist.

With his right hand, William instantly pulled the sword from his waist at a speed that surpassed his opponent's attacking speed.

With just one hand, William slashed around him in a circle.

Cratt... Srakk...

With that one slash, all of William's opponents were instantly injured, not only them, the trees that entered within his attack radius, were also cut to pieces.

"Murkey..."

Both the near and the far, all of his opponents were hit, their weapons were broken, blood was coming out of their chests and mouths. And without being able to say anything, they instantly lost consciousness because their HPs were instantly depleted at once.

Ran stared in amazement as well as fear at the incredible power displayed by William.

One slash that William released, able to eliminate all his enemies instantly without difficulty.

As a result, Ran was unconscious with the surrounding trees that were also cut down by William until they broke.

Crick

The sound of a broken tree branch emerged from above Ran, but Ran was unaware of it as he was busy admiring William.

Krkkkkp...

The limb was getting broken and was already about to fall on top of Ran. But Ran still remains unconscious with danger on top of it.

Cracks... Bruakk

"Akhn..." The limb finally broke and fell on top of Ran, Ran was quite in pain as the branch fell right over his back.

Ran's screaming voice was heard by William, with a very fast movement, he darted to Ran's place.

Srakk...

Ran is still in pain and unable to get up, Ukhhh.... Damn, I might not have realized there was a branch falling

Ran tried to stand up slowly, but, when he looked ahead, appeared a foot clad in shiny iron armor.

Deg

Ran knew who the owner of the leg was, and when he looked up, a silver sword with shiny beautiful carvings was drawn over his head, and William held the sword with a piercingly cold gaze.

Ah.... Finish I thought Ran while lamenting his fate
