章節 48: Changing Fates and Destiny(7)
ADOLPHUS'S POV:-
Zwain is spreading out his threads towards me.
Suddenly I feel a stab on my back.
'Arlington made his move, huh?'
Karina is looking at me with disdain.
'Is this how it ends?'
I close my eyes as my life flashes before my eyes.
'Father...mother...'
'Glacia, I am sorry, looks like I...'
[Ding]
[Hidden requirement fulfilled to unlock the second part of the System]
'Huh?' I was shocked at the sudden message on the familiar blue screen in front of me.
'Is this a dream?' I think.
As if the System read my thoughts, more messages start coming.
[Checking host's condition]
[Host's condition is critical]
[Initiating emergency treatment]
[Proceeding with emergency treatment]
[Several high level threats are present within the vicinity of host]
[Executing forced teleportation]
[Failed]
[Host's life is bound with soul contract]
[Processing to nullify the soul contract]
[Failed due to lack of energy]
[Finding the optimal path of survival]
[F**k it, that's too long...hey Adelphus, how the heck you got in such a crazy situation?]
A robotic voice comes that was more melodious to me than anything I have ever heard in the last few decades.
'Haha,' a chuckle escapes my mouth.
[Stop laughing you idiot, in any case, I'll help you recover n fight. First, take out that Royal Mage and then kill that back stabbing bastard, Arlington, okay?]
I nod at her but...there are still answers I want to know.
[I'll explain everything later. Trust me. For now, let's focus on the fight]
I nod in my mind and let her channel my mana freely.
Then I see Zwain's thread almost reach me.
Before the threads could touch me, I blink away from there creating considerable distance between us.
Looking back at my original position Arlington is almost caught by Zwain's threads.
He then blinks a few metres behind him but he lost an arm in that exchange.
Karina and Arlington are shocked at my sudden blink and gets more shocked at my rapid recovery.
Zwain however seems to have an extremely serious face as he looks at me.
'Aah! this is the feeling. How long has it been that I have felt this refreshed?
Haha...Hey Glacia, glad to have you back.' I speak to Glacia with a cheerful expression.
The others flinch at my sudden change of expression.
[Well, I saw you everyday, you know? You really had a rough life there. Why did it take you so long to unlock the second part of the system? sigh..still the past is the past...I am now connected with you...that's what matters the most. And of course, after this mess is over, we have to get rid of the contract and kill that bastard Ladros, don't we? For what he did to you, I will never forgive him.]
'Hmmm...'
I wanted to ask about Zitherer but kept quiet.
Let's ask that after this battle is over.
After that,
I observe the battlefield carefully and analyse everyone's current status.
I am almost at the corner of the ice field.
Karina is at the opposite corner standing there with her spear pointing at me.
She looks like she is chanting something.
Zwain is a bit away from the centre of the ice field in the direction of Karina.
He too is chanting something as he looks at me with a focused expression.
Looking carefully, he is glancing at Arlington from time to time.
Arlington is standing a bit farther away from Zwain with his arm bleeding.
He is making a furious expression as he heals himself slowly.
His arm is growing back fast but his mana has depleted considerably.
"[Domain Magic: Ice Phoenix]," chants Karina and an Ice Phoenix emerges behind her.
Karina jumps on the back of the Phoenix and the Pheonix starts flying in my direction.
Zwain too finishes his chant,"[Thread of Death: Encircling Misfortune]"
Dark grey threads start spreading out of his hands as they cover the whole ice field.
[Dodge Them]
Following her command, I dodge them.
[Jump and attack forward then do a plunge on the ground with [Max Fire] and break the ice to get under it and use [Mole] skill]
I jump above the ground and Karina comes into my vision.
Attacking her with a water spell that pushes her back I look below at the ice platform.
Channelling mana into my fist, "[Max fire]," I chant and fire concentrates around my fist.
Then I hit the ground as hard as possible, breaking the platform.
Using the mole skill I start burrowing inside the ground.
'I really do have a weird collection of skills,'
[Do it for 6s straight and turn left]
Following her command, I reach where she asked me to.
[Go up and use [Mirage Blast] then kick him away from you]
I follow her steps and soon ice enters my vision.
"[Mirage Blast]," I chant and hit the ground as hard as possible.
Piercing through the ground, it hits Arlington who seems to be shocked at the sudden turn of events.
Not giving him a chance to recover I kick him away from me as hard as I can.
[That was fabulous, now take a step left and jump slightly and chant [Water Bomb] at your back]
I take a step left and a black thread passes in front of me.
I jump slightly dodging ice shurikens that pass below my feet.
Then I chant,"[Water Bomb]" at my back.
It hits Karina slightly injuring her.
Arlington isn't really a problem now.
This helped us gain a slight advantage over others.
"Who are you?... No, you are still the same bastard, Adelphus but how come you are able to do all that? Were you hiding your true power?" Asks Arlington with a furious expression.
"I am... your demise," I answer him without any expression.
[3 out of 10, it sounds cringey]
'Come on that was really cool of me, can't you give me like 11 out of 10?' I ask Glacia, with a playful smile in my mind.
[In your dreams]
'Tsk, you don't even know art,' I rebuke
[If that was art, children would be considered genius in front of you]
'Sigh'
'What should we do next?' I think as I analyse the others.
No one is making a move, everyone is observing...me, I guess?
[Use your own brain]
'If that would have worked, I wouldn't be in this situation now, would I?'
[Sigh! Where did my passion filled Adelphus go?]
'All right then the first...huh?'
I start hearing something.
'What's that sound?'
Observing others...' yeah, they seem to be hearing it too,'
Looking carefully at the city down below.
'Devils and Humans along with Elves seem to be... marching?'
'And a kid is leading them?'
My eyes seem to be playing a trick on me.
I rub my eyes to look again.
Arlington and Karina too do the same.
Yeah, the scene is still there.
[What?!!]
"What!?!" In shock, I blurt out what Glacia said.
"What!?!" Arlington follows.
"What?!?" Karina too.
Then Zwain puts his hand on his forehead as he shakes his head with a helpless expression as he speaks "Morpheus, you bastard...just what are you trying to do?"
