Duel Runners นิยาย & เรื่องราว

For Burlington’s sake and the sake of your one hundred million, please change into another character! Even Uncle Larry grabbed Charmine’s arm and shook her vigorously. “Charmine, are you crazy? Change it right now! The Dancer is no match for the Assassin! Dancers are often in the back-end, shielded by everyone else in fights. There’s no shield in the duel… You’ll be killed!” “Hah! We’ll see who’s the one being killed.” Charmine smiled. The game was starting, and the computer screen displayed a vast field that resembled a martial arts field in the wild. Players could not change characters once the game started.

This annoyed Claire to no end. The fight started with a whistle, and on the sound of the whistle, the warrior Marissa was dueling with, immediately landed a blow to her face that caused her stumble all the way to the line of the circle The rules of the duel were: No killing The first one out of the circle is automatically the loser. Whoever yields lost. Her falling to the line of the circle caused some ‘ooos’ and ’aaas’. At this point, it wasn’t just the warriors, and Claire watching, but a crowd had gathered just right outside the training ground to watch.

“Two. The match must start out in your human form, and then you can shift to your wolf as you choose. Also once you shift, the other person in the ring is mandated to shift so you can both be on equal ground. We need to minimize casualties as much as possible.” “Thirdly, the duel is deemed over when one of you is thrown out of the ring or surrenders. Any fighting after that is invalid and void.” “Is that clear?” Enzo asked and Marco grunted arrogantly while Bryant replied with a yes. “Okay then. As Alpha, I announce the beginning of this duel.” He said before stepping out of the ring. The tension in the air grew as both Marco and Bryant bent slightly as they began testing their opponents.I w

“I’ll do three at 30%, renegotiable afterwards. Um. But a guaranteed minimum of six duels all told. How’s that?” “Four at 30%,” said Alevos. “Not including qualification duels. And you can stop at four if you want. Six fights can get dangerous - that’s when the herd starts to thin out, and the roughest duelists emerge. The risk of death is higher, and we really ought to prevent that. We’re here to profit from gambling, not reach the top ten.” The others quickly agreed, and Eva had no choice but to capitulate. “Four it is,” she said. “How do these duels even work? Do I just show up one cycle and beat up everyone I see?”

They're not really my priority right now. The final duel of the first and second place follows the common lycan duels aside from the killing part. The mechanics are simple, the winner will be the one to either successfully give his opponent a mortal wound or have them step out of the casted magic circle. No weapons allowed, it will be a brawl. As we were waiting for it to begin, I couldn't help but catch the whispers from the crowd. “Who do you think will win? This is a tough fight.”

From the corner of my eyes, I saw the Luna of the Imperial Pack, sitting amidst all other Alphas and Lunas of different packs who have come to watch the Alpha Duel. The first one in ages. "THE DUEL SHALL NOW BEGIN! THERE ARE ONLY TWO CHANCES TO HIT THE FLOOR BY EITHER OF THE TWO PRINCES. THE THIRD EQUALS LOSS AND THE LAST PRINCE STANDING WINS!" The rules of the game were yelled out, loud and clear. The crowd cheered while confetti were sprayed all over the space where the duel will take place. After being properly groomed by maids and attendees, the bell resounded again. Kicking off the duel for real this time.

I snarled, keeping my gaze trained on Gustav. “The duel must begin,” Dad announced from across the field, his tone bit, low and irritable. “Fight in the old way. No weapons allowed. Shift if you must. Let this be known that this duel is not one that challenges for the Alpha title, it is a simple one of servitude. Winner claims dominion. Loser forfeits or dies.” Raina wrestled in Theo’s hold even more, twisting and turning, still hell-bent on stopping the match. Her struggle was all the Worgen needed to spring into action.

“The duels could be solitary, consecutive, or team duels. Solitary duels are usually the hottest duels that can take place. They are usually between two powerful masters, and the build up to them is akin to the way humans hype their pay per view fights. Those kinds of duels throw the entire world into a frenzy. Unfortunately, they aren’t that common. After all, how many clans would be willing to lose military power just because of a grudge. Unless it’s a life-or-death situation, that would never happen. I think there have only been three Solitary Duels since the inception of this tradition.” “Consecutive Duels are more popular than Solitary Duels, but there pale in comparison to Team Duels.

Then, there is a shift in the air. The moon begins to ascend into the sky, climbing higher and higher signalling the time is near. Co-ordinators of The Run – mated wolves whose job is to keep us safe – climb onto the cages keeping the problem females captive. They are waiting for the gun shot to release us. Thankfully, the wind is blowing softly from behind us. I could not get any luckier with nature on my side. With my scent blowing away from the males and deep into the forest, I will be able to get away quickly and find a hiding spot that hopefully has gear or food for me to take. With a grin, I slowly climb to my feet and lazily stretch, preparing my body to run because my life depends on

I looked around to see Sam look at his cousin in horror and then shift and run. "Hell no" I growled and shifted to follow him. As I ran, I spotted Carla getting cornered by two hunters. In a blind rage and ran at them and literally tore through them as I passed. I paused then to check on the others. Lee and Devon were taking down a couple of warriors and I spotted Dean and James working on a few hunters. They were all winning but then I heard an howl that sent ice through my veins.
