Chapter 263: The Immovable Holy Knight

Sigma wasn't expecting for her to be blown from where she stood. She is trying her best to create her playstyle of not moving from where she stood and unleashing abilities without doing much walking. All her life, she was in her wheelchair due to her unexplained sickness. With the help of her brother and the countless research of her father, she managed to at least alleviate her sickness and mitigate whatever was causing it.

Her father suggested that she should try to practice walking by practicing in the Virtual Reality game called Alternate World. She easily managed to get the Nexus Tattoo without a problem, allowing her to gain a 100% synchronization rate with herself and the character.

As soon as she got to play the game, she is now addicted to it and decided to pick the Holy Knight as her class. She wanted to become the beacon of light to everyone and defend people from whatever hurdles they are facing. Due to her dedication, countless study and understanding of her class, she managed to find out the main appeal of her class and that is to become a good sub tank that can handle any attacks given to her while also staying stationary and releasing powerful attacks while staying at where she is standing. 

Soon enough, she managed to catch the eye of many players when she did this kind of tactic on one of the bosses in one dungeon. Due to her way of executing her moves while remaining stationary to where was standing, she was being nicknamed the "Immovable Holy Knight" and became one of the players that garnered attention from many people.

She slowly takes pride in her ability to take every attack given to her and pay it back to the one who dealt the damage to her. However, for the first time since she started playing the game and formulating the perfect way to create a reputation of someone who cannot be moved away from her position no matter how heavy the attacks she received, she finally found her match today.

Her knees are shaking from the impact and even though it was just a game and it was a virtual reality, she can feel that the pressure she received from the blow is big enough for her to be blown away. She wasn't expecting it at all. As she slowly stood up, she can see the other player wearing the wolf mask approach her slowly while he is holding his weapon.

This is the first time she received pressure. Not even a boss is capable of giving pressure on her and she didn't feel anything at all in many dangers she has encountered in real life. This is the first time she experienced a sense of dread. It was like Death is ready to harvest her life any moment.

But that pressure is something she is now looking forward to. She likes challenges and after knowing that her ability to remain immovable is not yet in its perfect state, her mind immediately wonders what to do to improve her way to become the real immovable.

"Let's end this..." the guy wearing a wolf mask said, raising his weapon. For some unknown reason, she finds the voice familiar but she cannot remember whose voice it was.

"Not...yet..."

PENG!

The sword and the mace collide and spark fly as the two pieces of metal tried to best each other.

BOOM!

A small explosion occurred between their weapons and the two has to step back from that. Bladeheart, who is holding his weapon firmly shook his arm a bit before going into his attack stance. As for Sigma, she has to stabilize her form before she regains her immovable stance.

She steeled her face and put down her mace while staring at Bladeheart. She slowly closes her eyes and focuses her senses.

"Now, come!"

Bladeheart didn't hesitate and started running in her direction. Sigma opened her eyes and her blue pupils turned into gold as she activated one of her skills.

"[Heavenly Chains]!"

Countless chains rain down on the sky and Bladeheart didn't flinch and just dodged them all like how he usually does. He is quick and whenever one chain is about to entangle him, he is able to immediately escape from them by casting some skills that allow him to blink to the other side of the area he was trying to move without running towards that place and quick getaway from being caught by it.

As he dodges the chains, he is also getting closer to Sigma and he is getting quicker. Sigma who controls the [Heavenly Chains] decided to choose another method to restrain Bladeheart's movement.

"[Heavenly Cross Seal]"

Crosses appeared around Bladeheart's body, trying to restrain him. This is another restraining skill of the Holy Knight class. It's not as effective as the [Heavenly Chains] in restraining enemies in the distance but it is pretty good when dealing with enemies near the player using it. Anyone who thinks they can easily escape it is not going to be capable of doing so. Unfortunately, this spell won't work on Bladeheart.

Even though this spell is not from a magic knight or a magician, this spell belongs to the magic types. 

[Heavenly Cross Seal]

Info:  With the power of the Holy Light Magic, the enemy that has been targeted by this skill will be stunned and get its movement restricted for 20 seconds. Can be canceled and disrupted.

Note: This might be the main reason why some people are looking holy despite being unholy deep inside. 

When Bladeheart notices the [Heavenly Cross Seal] on his body, he didn't panic and instead continues to charge.

"[Magic Jammer]"

The [Heavenly Cross Seal] that was supposed to restrain Bladeheart suddenly breaks after going in contact with his body. It was quick so if viewed in the audience stand and to a non-Holy Knight player, the [Heavenly Cross Seal] seems to have taken effect but to Sigma who is personally seeing what her skill is doing face to face and has seen it take effect many times know that the skill failed and didn't properly execute its natural effect.

But Sigma didn't get disheartened when it happened, she can tell that the skill is not forever and it only lasts for a few seconds though she is not sure how long it should have lasted. An idea pops up inside her mind and she decided to follow it as she waved her hands and two rays of light shined on Bladeheart.

"[Holy Ray]!"

Two rays of blinding light rained on Bladeheart. However, it seems like that is ineffective as Bladeheart immediately transformed his weapon into a cannon and shot the ground, allowing the recoil to send him backward, away from the [Holy Ray].

Sigma's eyes glint when that happened and she immediately snaps her fingers and the [Heavenly Chains] that did not land on Bladeheart's body immediately moved and take the chance to restrain his movements. She used this chance to reinforce the first chains with another [Heavenly Chains], completely binding his legs, hands, and body.

"Got you," Sigma said as she waved her mace to cast the other skill that will destroy the enemies in one hit. The [Spear of Heavens].

"Heh, apologies Ms. Sigma but these chains are not enough to restrain the likes of me!

With a strong tug on the chains, the chains that were immovable at first started to move and Sigma didn't expect to see that. Even bosses have a hard time breaking off from the chains. So seeing someone able to even move it is something she has not seen before. She quickly made her cast to the [Spear of Heavens] as fast as she can to prevent me from escaping.

"Spear of Heavens]!"

The spears appeared and she quickly waved her hands down and let the spears rain down on where Bladeheart is still tied up.

Everyone was quiet that even the emcee who was supposed to keep the audience excited and riled up end up shocked that he forgot to say what he was about to say in the battle. As for Sigma, she remained emotionless but deep inside, she is already relieved since the main threat is now gone.

"As expected of the Immovable Knight. Unfortunately, you still need a few more years of battle and experience before you get to fully grasp your weakness and how to cover that to become the ultimate. If not for this, you might have defeated me."

Sigma turned around when she heard the voice of Bladeheart but what welcomed her the moment she turned around is a blade straight to her heart. It was a quick plunge but it is deep enough that it continuously reduces her HP. Her armor has suffered from the [Corrode] so even though her armor is pretty high on defensive stats, if not for the [Corrode] debuff, she would have been able to survive. She smiled and before her HP drains she raise her thumb up.

"Congratulations..."
