Chapter 30 - misery.
Before anything could be said, a large spear pierced through Selvyn--as a voice rang out, it was in a mocking tone.
"You really thought I'd actually wait for you to get stronger?"
Mathis watched on in horror before expressing his thoughts.
"You.. waited for us to exhaust ourselves with training before attacking us!" Mathis exclaimed in anger and shock.
"Ding ding~ that's correct!" The voice said before a man walked forth--he was a tall man, long black hair, wearing a black kimono over a white shirt and black pants, his eyes were sharp and defined.
As he pulled his spear out of Selvyn, he then kicked her body to the ground--before looking at Mathis, the woman, Theeven and Mia.
"You're all just so naive, it's almost hilarious." The man said, his tone dripping with mockery.
"All this mockery and cockiness, only for you to be the one who'll die today." The woman said, her tone unusually cold--as if she was expecting everything that had just happened.
[The Gem of ---- has used 'skill: The all consuming abyssal blade.']
The man calmly looks at the blade in her hand, his face a mixture of mockery and calm.
"What a self destructive ability, all that only for such a pathetic skill which won't even work against me?" The man said, a smirk forming on his face.
Mathis immediately went to heal Selvyn with a full restoration potion--but only for the man to crush that hope by finishing Selvyn off. The man ripped out Selvyn's heart before Mathis and crushes it.
[Party member: Selvyn has died.]
Mathis's expression changes from hope, to shock, to pain.. but then to rage.
[Mathis has used all skills and combined them into one.]
[Mathis has used 'skill: composite slash.']
Mathis raised his sword above his head, there was no aura, no bloodlust, the air was empty.
As Mathis slashed down, the man's arm flew off--the city that was already turned into a wasteland was now turned into a massive crator.
The man's face immediately switched from arrogance to pain and surprise.
to prevent the man from having any time to think, the woman appeared behind him and slashed him with the abyssal blade--which did no damage, so she instead kicked him into Theeven who then used his own holy blade to try and slash the man--only to deal no damage either.
[Mathis has used 'skill: composite slash']
Mathis proceeded to raise his blade again, slashing down even harder than before--as the slash cut through the air, the man barely dodged.
An arm went flying--it wasn't the man's arm, but Mathis's arm.
"I admit it, I made a mistake underestimating you--now look at what you did to me." The man says, his expression was one of anger as he looked down at his arm.
As Mathis managed to process what happened, he started to scream out in pain.
"It would seem that only Mathis is capable of damaging him.. so that's why he's now targeting Mathis." The woman thought to herself.
As the woman tried to tell Theeven and Mia about what to do--the man's hand tore through Mathis's chest, he was clearly trying to finish Mathis off quickly before he could do anything else.
The woman's expression finally changed from indifferent to pissed off.
[Gem of ---- has used 'skill: instant kill']
['Skill: instant skill' has failed due to the target being from another universe--a penalty will now be afflicted onto the user.]
[Gem of ---- has been rendered immobilised for 1 minute.]
Noticing that, the man immediately took his chance and ran his spear through the woman and killed her too.
A loud thump broke the silence and sounds of blood dripping, her body had fallen to the ground.
[Party member: Gem of ---- has died.]
Tears that Mathis had been holding back finally start flowing freely down his face.
"Why.. first Arthur, then Selvyn and then her.. WHY MUST THEY ALL DIE?! WHY AM I SO POWERLESS?!" Mathis yelled out, his voice sounded strained and clearly in pain.
[Mathis has used 'skill: Copycat' and has copied 'skill: all consuming abyssal blade' for 2 minutes.]
[Mathis has used 'skill: composite slash']
As the man turned around to look at him, all he saw was the ability of the one he had killed--this time the strike being a critical hit, cutting his chest open.
The man's face changes from confidence to irritation and annoyance--he picked up one of Selvyn's daggers and tried to slash Mathis, only for a feminine hand to grab his wrist and block him mid-stab.
['Skill: reincarnation' has been used.]
As the man looked behind him to see who stopped him, he saw nobody other than the one he had just killed--it was that woman, except this time her blonde hair was now blood red.
"I did say that, you were going to be the one dying." The woman said, her tone dripping with mockery.
"You're really annoying, you know that?" The man said, his own tone dripping with annoyance and a bit of fear.
The man felt a sudden sharp pain, as he looked down--he saw the all consuming blade having been stabbed through his chest, he looked before him and saw Mathis smirking through pain as he coughed blood at the man's face.
"Not yet, I won't die just yet--you pathetic imbeciles!" The man yelled out, as he pulled out a hidden dagger and threw it at Theeven.
A familliar hand caught the dagger mid-air, it was the hand of someone who had already died..
"Wait, wasn't he dead? He.. is really back?" Mathis thought to himself as he looked at the person who had made his appearance.
