"How gallant and heroic of you!" Laughed the Slime within Hector's clothes, Drake's clone. He had been seeing this entire thing unfold as if he were watching some sort of Drama or Anime back on Earth, and it as very exciting for him. He was already rooting for Hector, and he liked his ideals and his pure love for Miminga.

"Slime... I mean, Blue, do you think you can lend me that dark armor again?" Asked Hector.

"Are you sure?! That armor is dangerous.." Sighed Blue. "But I guess it's not as if you got any other option against a Rank 3 guy... Alright."

Blue didn't went around too much, and quickly decided to summon the Accursed Armor of Misfortune over Hector. As Hector walked forward and the people suddenly were about to see the two fight, Liu Myung mocked Hector once more.

"That spear might seem quite shiny, but I doubt it will help you win. And I don't know where you even got something so expensive looking, but I'll take it as a prize when I win.." Said Liu. "Are you okay with this, young Hector?" The man was rather young-looking as a human, but he was actually over 50 years of age. Those of higher Ranks could increase their lifespans, this increased even humans lifespan, usually considered short lived as they lived up to 80 years of age most of the time. Each Rank would increase Lifespan a few years.

"I don't know if you'll win either, Liu." Said Hector. "Don't be so sure. After all, you allowed me to wear an armor."

"Eh?"

CLANK!
