Chapter 425: Truth III
The antagonists hade here with a clear goal to kill Alex.
But as ckburn de appeared on the scene, their hearts shook, and their target immediately shifted to him. The antagonists were even able to forget their past with Alexander Deathwill Mao, bing his temporary ally.
Everyone noticed that Alex’s red sword shone brighter with them in his presence — their goals the same. Because of that, even the antagonists felt a surge of strength blooming from within their souls.
In an instant, all of them called their demons. The demonic existences came out in various shapes, yet their forms all looked grotesque and ready to horrify the world. Those demons leaned down and became armor for everyone.
“All ready?” ckburn de asked, not attacking them during their transformation. He knew well how it was to be an antagonist, and nostalgia and his thrill stopped him from hindering their power-up.
d in their armors, their weapons clenched, the antagonists silently formed a n between each other through eye contact. And standing amidst them, Alexander read all of it, bing a part of it.
Then, the battle started.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Various long-distance skills popped around ckburn de, and the after-effects coalesced into smoke, which utterly had hidden the man inside — his senses, mainly eyes, disturbed.
On the other hand, the antagonists saw ckburn de well, as if their shining eyes had an X-ray; the same went for Alexander.
They all shrank distance with ckburn de while following the previously formed n. Once again, the ranged antagonists let out their skills, which whistled in everyone’s ears except ckburn de as they went forward.
ng! ng! ng!
Following them, the swordsmen and other closebat antagonists hurled their weapons at the enemy, aiming at various spots from head to toe.
“You’re using a simr tactic to your leader,” ckburn de chortled, then leaned forward, attacking the closest to his right antagonists. He slightly broke the formation the antagonists had nned beforehand — but they had expected it, of course.
s, that was not enough against the winner whose victory destroyed two worlds. Although some of his abilities had been surely suppressed — because he hadn’t used anything other than his sword to intercept antagonists and their skills — ckburn de was a too experienced and skillful fellow.
“Lovely!” ckburn screamed with joy, enjoying the shes with antagonists. He loved the smell of blood that had been filling his nostrils, his ears twitched in pleasure as the grunts of his enemies stuffed his mind, and his eyes widened in madness as he yearned for more — all of it strengthened him and pushed him forward.
BANG!
Atst, the red sword met the ck one. And while many other swords descended onto ckburn de, for the first time since the antagonists’ joint attack, ckburn de used his other abilities to stop Alex’s Asura Hands from hurting him.
He crazily smiled, “You don’t like my Wrath, do you?”
Alex’s eyes widened in surprise, “You…”
ckburn de retracted his weapon, then thrust forward at a speed that eluded everyone. Alex, his target, received the brunt of that thrust, his Asura Arm falling off lifelessly — it tumbled on the ground.
“I’ve heard of sins in Paradise, a pretty popr topic. I am now sure you wield them, perhaps chosen by the fallen goddess… You aren’t the perfect candidate if you consciously stay away from my hatred… Haha,” ckburn de raised his sword, ready to split off more of Asura’s Arms.
Alex btedly reacted, but fortunately for him, Yumi hurtled herself into ckburn de, taking all his attention.
‘I have been… the reason…’ Alex mumbled inwardly, recalling his thoughts from a few minutes ago. He believed that ckburn de had been too strong of the opponent and that the level gap blocked him from using his wrath.
It seemed like it was not the case.
Alex bit his lips, pulling himself out of those pointless thoughts. He couldn’t miraculously change his mindset during the battle, but he surely would give it a thought after today’s event.
As he looked at the clock in his system, Alex knew that he soon would be able to leave the divine mirror realm. He wanted to look out for Schnee and deal with ckburn de with the help of other cats.
But as ckburn de kept dancing with antagonists, his heart hoarded a lot of thrill and enjoyment, and soon, he distanced himself from all of them, standing at the highest point of the hill.
He looked down on the antagonists. Some stood with their weapons bared, some were on their knees, and somey unconscious on the ground.
“I am not a person who reneges his promises,” ckburn de smiled, then lifted his right hand. ck and ominous mana turned into a system window, which soon shed with ckburn de’s memories.
On the screen, everyone saw ckburn de and Yasir facing each other. They were in some kind of dark realm that Alex wasn’t really familiar with — everyone else was, and they were shocked to see that Yasir was doing fine against ckburn de.
Many lights shed on the screen. The battle escted quickly, and ckburn de soon fought against Yasir with full strength… And then, the dark realm trembled, stopping ckburn de’s movements.
He froze mid-air, defenseless like never before.
Yasir was intact, moving across the dark realm with confident steps. He lifted his sword, then brandished it before ckburn de’s eyes. Had Yasir thrust forward, ckburn de would’ve died — that was certain.
Yet, Yasir lowered his sword, “I could’ve killed you, ckburn de. It’s my victory.”
“The fuck you doing?” ckburn de scrunched his face with confusion, ring at Yasir.
It was thest battle, the final battle. There were no respawns… So even if ckburn de was the antagonist, he wouldn’t respawn. He would die.
“I never lose… you know?” Yasir replied with a mysterious smile, then let his weapon go…
Atst, ckburn de regained control over his body. He instantly brought his de to Yasir’s neck, slightly cutting his skin.
“You never lose, huh?” ckburn de repeated, then beheaded the tanned man, ending his life. A few hourster, all the yers’ forces fell, and the antagonists won. On that same day, two worlds ceased to exist.
Everyone watched that screen in shock.
