Chapter 111: GG, Close Fight


    ?


    Floor of Death was a peculiar ce.


    The corpse of the administrator made the strata while his blood pooled over it, forming a vast ocean of red. The heat generated through rapidly flowing shinsu made fumes of blood rise through the atmosphere, forming as crimson clouds that soon descended back down in a downpour.


    And amidst all of that, floated two figures.


    Their expressions were calm as they stared at each other. One was a male with a monocle atop his right eye, the other was a female holding two distinct weapons- a fish hook and a needle. Then it started.


    Yuri, with the two weapons in hand rushed at Amon, swinging the Green April in a circr arc.


    Shinsu zed with ferocious intensity, rippling through the air and turning the chaotic flow of shinsu into an orderly mass of destruction!


    Amon grinned and flicked his wrist.


    Suddenly, the attack lost all its potency, turning into a simple il of a whip!


    Yuri''s eyes widened, but she had little time to react.


    Whoosh!


    Wham!


    Amon appeared beside her, kicking her at the side. Yuri held the needle vertically, shielding herself from the blow at thest moment!


    The weapons of the thirteen month series were imbibed with a powerful spell. So long as the spell could persist, the weapons werepletely indestructible!


    Amon extended his hand, and instantly, Yuri felt her head swelling in pain!


    "Argh!" She clenched his head, a surge of pain shooting through her temples! It felt as if someone had shot a hot knife through it, twisting it in the process!


    All around her, the air began to change.


    The shinsu that was inherently poisonous to beings unustomed to it, suddenly sprouted various micro-organisms-bacteria, viruses, viroids, prions, fungus.


    And in another instant, they all changed, swelling to appear visible under the naked eye and collectively donned a crystal monocle on their bodies!


    Their figures changed, resembling the vague shape of humanoids and their mouths opened to orate a piercing screech! Full of iprehensible ravings!


    Yuri''s eyes turned bloodied!


    A trickle of blood shot through her nose and her muscles tightened beyond belief, almost crushing her bones within! The world around her seemed to shift. Thews that governed all other ces in the tower seemed nothing more than a suggestion, easily ignored if one so chooses.


    The absence of a guardian made thews on the floor especially easy to bend. Something that the error, Amon took full liberty in misusing!


    In his eyes, thews in the space were magnified, deceived by a simple gesture.


    And then Yuri fell.


    Her boon of flight could no longer support her under the magnifiedws. And down she went, right towards the ocean of blood.


    If I fought Kavan here, would I have been able to kill him? The passing thought went through Winston''s mind. He dismissed it instantly.


    No. He would probably have an easier time fighting here. I wasn''t nearly as strong at Sequence 5 as I


    am...


    His gaze travelled to the rapidly falling figure of Yuri.


    Momentarily, a trickle of worry graced his mind. But then, he shook his head as a vision ovepped his eyes.


    He smiled and calmly extended his arm.


    Yuri, who was almost at the sea of blood suddenly opened her eyes.


    Shaaaaaaaaaa!!!


    A bright sh of blinding, blinding and scintiting illuminated the area! Down below, the shinsu seemed chaotic, winding around in irregr patterns as it circled around Yuri in a whirlpool.


    rity returned to her mind and a frown appeared at her forehead.


    "That damn..." She cursed under her breath. Then, her attention went to the two weapons.


    She had unconsciously utter the word - ignite at thest moment, to avoid falling into the sea and getting lost.


    Now...


    "Well well."


    "This is quite a strange meet up."


    The two sword spirits, beautiful and illuminant stared her down.


    Smiles were on each of their faces.


    "It''s been so long since two of the thirteen months have been gathered together." Said Green


    April.


    "For that reason, go ahead. Choose who you want to borrow the power of."


    Staring at them in shock, Yuri felt a smile blossom on her lips.


    "I want both of you!"


    As she said that, ck March, who she was tightly clutching in her hand disappeared!


    "Huh?" She dumbly muttered, opening and closing her hand.


    Then, her eyes widened and her head whipped up, staring at the monocled man who held a striking ck needle in his hands.


    "I''ll take that."


    His whisper, although not too loud, rang in her ears like thergest sounds.


    She stood still in the air, looking at him as if she had seen something impossible. Her hand, balled into a fist shook heavily.


    Her dark bangs covered her face. Then, she quietly said, "Green April. Ignite."


    Booom!!!


    Shaaaaaaa!


    Shinsu exploded, turning into various droplets of green that siphoned away at the


    surrounding flow!


    The multitude of Amons that floated above her collectively turned their eyes. Their monocles


    shone with a white light, appearing as numerous as stars twinkling in the night sky.


    And then, they all extended their hands-


    Shhaaaaa!


    Whooooshhhh!


    Green April extended like a whip, transforming into a huge entity capable of cleaving mountains! Swinging into an arc, the whip headed for Amon and his clones!


    -and flicked their wrists.


    The whip which was going to reach them stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause


    button.


    It lost all of it''s ferocity in an instant and Amon grinned.


    "It''s so easy to deceive the world here." His clear voice rang behind Yuri. Her hair stood on edge as she rapidly turned around the punched straight at him!


    Wham!


    Amon was hit right in the face!


    Boooom!!!!


    A gigantic explosion, not unlike a nuclear bombs triggered, sweeping the entire area clean!


    Yuri stood in the air, vignt and watching.


    "To think even a Sequence 4 like me, who hasn''t even reached conceptualization on his deception abilities can deceive thews so critically." The voice sounded from the rubble. The


    same, sing song voice.


    Ravings and murmurs again began to ring from the surroundings.


    Yuri clenched her teeth and swung Green April, which although had lost its ability to draw shinsu and siphon it, was still more than enough to clear put the smoke!


    Whooosh!


    Fwissssh!


    Huuuu~


    Yuri breathed out. Her red eyes again met that of Amon who was holding the ck March and


    ying around with it, bncing the tip on his finger.


    His mouth opened as well, giving rise to a wave of ravings!


    Yuri''s eyes instantly turned bloodied again. Her hand clutched her head as she groaned in


    pain. Her arm, which was about to swing the Green April again instantly lost all its strength!


    "Shut up!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.


    She felt her consciousness slipping with every passing moment. Her brain felt as if it was turning into a puddle inside her skull and lit on fire. The blood in her veins burned like hot magma and her organs screamed out in phantasmal pain unlike anything she had experienced


    before!


    This was the result of Amon''s murmuring!


    Amon, whose avatars and himself were constantly speaking aloud narrowed his eyes.


    He mused over the implications of his current findings.


    What he was doing wad essentially rying parts of his mythical creature form in the form of words. Instead of providing a visual input, he could provide an auditory input, essentially achieving the same result.


    As per his theories, the High Sequence folk in Lord of Mysteries would have done roughly the same thing, aside from very specific existence like the True Creator of the Hidden Sage. The original Amon, during the ascension ritual of Mr. Fool, was able to almost drive him to insanity through murmurs filled with both orderly and chaotic information. Although that instance was something entirely different, since Mr. Fool was able to withstand mythical creatures forms, whether auditory or visual.


    Crazy ravings weren''t too much a problem here in the tower. And so, with nothing to go off of, Winston did the next best thing. Gleaming the information of his own mythical creature form and using it to induce a form of pseudo insanity in others.


    Since there were no beyonders in this world, there was no concept of ''losing control''. But, the tower, as expansive as it was with the omnipotent shinsu flowing through it, did not transcend the concept of dimensionality.


    Or maybe it did... Winston was still a bit unsure of that. But even if the tower did, aside from


    the administartors, it didn''t mean the inhabitants did too.


    Their minds, used to perceiving the world in the typical 3 dimensional grid was not used to


    seeing something above their dimensions.


    And something like a mythical creature form that transcended the very concept of dimensions, the residents of the tower had little defence against that.


    He could not recklessly reveal his mythical creature form before Angelhood. And so, this was


    one of his stronger trump cards. Insanity inducement through murmurs.


    Yuri, caught as a mere test subject soon lost her consciousness, slipping into a forced sleep.


    One of Winston''s avatars caught her before she could fall into the sea of blood. Then, Amon, the original body stared at the direction of the hell train, a mocking grin appearing on his face.


    Evan and Co were still on the train.


    Evan had his backced with sweat as he nervously nced around.


    Princess Yuri had disappeared mysteriously, alongside the Monocled man.


    The fog that kept blocking the path was now stronger, getting to a point of blocking all his


    vision. He could no longer see the path.


    "Damn.." He cursed under his breath.


    To the side, Khun and Co adopted a silence not like their usual behaviour.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    They felt... useless.


    Everyone had their expressions tinged with annoyance and mncholy.


    After all, Princess Yuri had disappeared.


    Although they believed in her strength, the strength of the opponent had also been


    formidable.


    Even the stoic Zarhan had his face tinged with a certain unwillingness. His hand curled into a


    ball and his eyes were focused.


    "Damn it!" Evan suddenly yelled, startling the regrs.


    He punched the wall next to him, making spider web like cracks spread out.


    Just then, a bigger explosions greeted their ears.


    And so-


    Bam!


    Something feel through the hole in the ceiling.


    As the smoke cleared, Evan''s expression gradually softened.


    His eyes gleamed clearly and a smile blossomed on his face.


    "Princess!" He yelled, running up to her.


    But taking only 2 steps, he stopped. His eyes widened in shock as he observed her features.


    It was Yuri, no doubt. Yuri Ha Jahad, the Princess of Jahad.


    But there was something unmistakably different about her.


    On her right eye rested a crystal monocle.


    "Who are you?" Evan''s tone wasced with danger.


    ''Yuri'' smiled.


    She said, "It was a close fight I guess. But I couldn''t bring myself to parasitize her. You


    know?"


    Her gaze travelled to the regrs, who all stared at her as if they had seen eldritch horrors


    beyond theirprehension.


    Evan stepped forward.


    "I''ll ask this once." His face darkened.


    "Who are you? And what have you done to Yuri."


    There was silence in the area. Both parties stated at each other. ''Yuri''s'' monocle gleamed with


    a white light.


    Then, she finally shook her head.


    "Fine. I was told not to make trouble anyways." She said in exasperation. Suddenly, her features began to morph. The skin melted like wax, falling off from her face and


    then reformed back. Her height began to shift and her clothes began to degenerate and


    change!


    In just a second, amid the horrified and baffled gazes of the people present, ''Yuri''


    transformed back into the same man. Amon, the Angel of Deceit.


    "I would have liked to y around with you all, but that would be a bit counterproductive to


    my goals." He said. Then, his hand pierced into the void and pulled out a body!


    It was Princess Yuri!


    Evan instantly reacted, taking a step forward with speed. But the next moment, his stood still,


    as if he didn''t know what he was about to do.


    His thoughts had been stolen!


    Amon calmly pulled out Yuri''s body from the void and tossed her over.


    Then, he turned back and looked over his shoulder.


    "Pray for yourself that we don''t meet again. Because next time, I won''t be in such a rush." He


    grinned, showcasing his canines.


    And amid everyone''s attention, his form vanished. Everyone stood still, shocked beyond their wildest imaginations.


    Evan began to check up on Yuri.
