"I should have just ran away with this bike a long time ago"
Corey muttered as he swerved the bike to the right, dodging the outstretched hands of a Smiley.
Woosh
Just as he dodged the Smiley an arrow shot past his face.
"The fuck!"
Corey turned back and saw Mac in a car nocking another arrow while aiming at him.
Corey quickly faced the front and cursed.
"Motherfuckers. Can't you just leave me alone!"
Vroom!
Corey sped up his bike and dodged whatever was on his way.
Whether Smileys, cars or even Black Smileys.
Just as he was moving, he saw a pile of cars smashed together. His eyes lit up seeing the cars and he sped towards it.
Using it as an inclination, he drove on the cars and flew into the air, gaining height and distance.
"Woohoooo!!!!"
Corey shouted with excitement despite his dangerous situation. He had only done this a few times with his friends when he just entered the academy, so doing this again gave him a sort of excitement he just could not supress.
Just as Corey was reveling in his excitement, he felt his skin tingle and his danger sense warned him of danger.
He turned back and his eyes widened.
"Not again."
Corey said with a frustrated expression as he saw the cursed chimera flying towards him. He gulped as he felt the killing intent of the monster.
'Focus'
As time slowed in Corey's eyes, Corey quickly removed a string from his robe and spun it round the right handle of the bike.
After doing that, he turned and faced the cursed chimera which was already close to Corey and for the first time, it used it's hands and swiped at Corey. It's sharp claws dangerously close to Corey.
Corey saw the claws coming towards him and with a calm expression, he jumped up, dodging the claws and leaving the bike which continued to fall to the ground.
Up in the air, without the comfort of the ground, Corey looked at the cursed chimera which was also looking at him from below.
The cursed chimera lunged at Corey and swiped his claws at him once again but Corey twisted in mid air trying to dodge the claws, but just as he thought he dodged the claws successfully, his left arm was grazed by one of the claws causing blood to spill out.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance seeing his wound.
'Now I definitely need a new cloth or robe again.'
Just as Corey had this thought, the cursed chimera got annoyed that the cockroach in front of him just refused to die, so it swiped it's other claws at Corey.
Corey not wanting to take his chances dodging the attack looked at the bike which was still moving.
Corey spun his right hand and just as he did, his body suddenly jerked in the direction of the bike, narrowly dodging the chimera's claw.
The chimera not wanting Corey to escape flew towards Corey with a fast speed and once again clawed at Corey.
Clang
Bang!
"Cough"
Corey coughed out saliva as he was slammed unto the ground after trying to block the claws of the chimera with his smile reaper.
The difference in strength between him and the chimera felt like it was world's apart.
He tried to get up from the floor but when he looked up, his eyes widened and he cursed.
"Shit."
He quickly jumped to the right then,
Bang!
Stones and dust flew into the air as the chimera flew down and slammed it's foot on Corey's previous spot.
Corey picked up Smile Reaper which was beside him and was also the main reason Corey jumped to the right.
He quickly stood and started running towards the bike which had fallen ever since he clashed with the claws of the chimera.
While running, he resisted the pain he was feeling throughout his entire body. Curious about the chimera he looked back and saw that the chimera was not chasing him. He guessed that due to the dust, it could not see him.
Corey no longer focused on the chimera and focused on the bike which was in front of him.
He deactivated his focused state and just as did, he realized that he was beginning to consume his stamina to maintain his focused state.
'I don't have enough mana for focus again.'
Corey thought grimly as he picked up the bike, jumped on it and started it's ignition. He placed Smile Reaper in his inventory this time around instead of his pocket in his robe.
Vroooom!!!
Not wanting to waste a single second, he drove off.
Three seconds later Corey looked to the back wondering if the chimera was chasing after him since he expected it to chase after him any second from now.
When he looked at the back he saw that the chimera was still in the same spot with dusts all around it.
Corey raised an eyebrow seeing that the chimera had not moved even after at least five seconds. Corey seeing that he would not be able to find an answer to the question immediately stopped looking at the chimera and faced the front.
'Come to think of it. Where are the bastard brothers.'
Corey thought and just as he had this thought,
CRASH!!!
TUMBLE!!
BANG!!
"Hahaha!! Finally caught that bastard!"
Mat laughed with a gleeful smile as he looked at Corey who just tumbled uncontrollably after they crashed into him and his bike with their car.
"Let's go. We need to make sure he doesn't escape this time around." Mac said as he got down from their destroyed car and walked towards Corey who was on the floor motionless.
Mat followed but then he stopped and so did Mac.
A look of shock and also slight fear appeared on their faces as they saw Corey who they assumed to at least be dead or unconscious struggle to stand.
"Monster." Mat muttered with slight fear in his tone seeing Corey still alive and conscious.
Mac remained silent but he felt the same way his brother was feeling.
"Fuck."
A curse escaped the mouth of the monster before them as he struggled to stand firmly.
He swayed slightly and coughed out blood a few times before his eyes and mind became slightly clear.
He looked at the shocked duo and then looked at his right arm which was clearly dislocated from his shoulder.
He held his right arm with his left hand and popped it back into his shoulder. Not a whimper came out from his mouth, just his eyes had become colder.
He clenched and unclenched his fists a few times before nodding with satisfaction.
He looked at the duo who were still frozen in shock, then he inhaled and exhaled before…
He turned around and ran.

[A/N: Sorry for posting this chapter so late.
When I was writing this chapter earlier today, I wanted to make it a car chase or something like fast and furious (The Movie) but I realized that writing a car chase wouldn't work.
Another reason for me been late is because I was thinking of how to make this chapter the last chapter of the chase ongoing between Corey and Kyle's group.
I'll try to make it end by the next chapter because even I'm getting tired of writing this chase.
I don't know if you guys are also getting tired, if you guys are, don't worry I'll try to end it in the next chapter even if the chapter would not be very interesting.
This is the last chapter I'm owing you guys by the way.
I'm going to be releasing one chapter per day now unless you guys meet the requirements for a bonus chapter.
I'm writing one chapter per day because I want to have more time to write the privilege chapters.
Later guys
Have a great day/night.
As Corey ran, the brothers were brought out of their shocked state and Mat cursed.
"Shit! He's running again!
He must not escape!"
Mat chased after Corey and Mac also followed, overtaking Mat immediately.
Despite the fact that the brothers were the chasers, they were feeling slight fear and anxiety because they were chasing a monster that just refused to die no matter what they did.
They just not imagine how Corey survived a crash of that magnitude even if he was stronger than an average human.
Just the thought of Corey been immortal made a chill run through their spines.
If Corey could listen to their thoughts, he would definitely find it amusing and he would also be envious.
If Corey was immortal, there was no way he would be in the situation he was currently in.
He would have killed the brothers and also the cursed chimera even if he had to sacrifice parts of his body.
As for how he survived the crash?
When the car was close to him and he realized he had no way to dodge, he quickly used the only defensive skill he had, iron skin and braced himself for impact.
The iron skin obviously could not fully protect him but at least it preserved his life.
His body was obviously in a lot of pain but how many times has his body been wrecked, destroyed and broken down beyond recovery in the virtual space of The Library Of Records.
It was painful, yes.
In fact, very painful, but Corey could not allow himself to lose consciousness because of the pain.
He did not want to die yet, especially when he has not seen his family.
Especially after all he had gone through.
He refused to die, especially at the hands of bastards like the duo behind him and Kyle.
With cold eyes and determination, Corey forced his bloodied and pain filled body to run.
To run and live.
Corey looked around as he ran, then he saw an alley to his right and his eyes flashed. He abruptly turned to the right causing the brother's faces to darken slightly.
Mac who was the closest to Corey sped up immediately then turned to the alley also, but the moment he did, a frustrated expression appeared on his face.
Three seconds later, Mat also turned to the alley and when he saw his brother looking around, his face also darkened.
"The bastard escaped again didn't he?"
Although he was not the smartest, he was not stupid. Seeing his brother looking around while Corey was nowhere to be found made him realize the frustrating fact that Corey had escaped from their sight.
Again!
What kind of magic trick was this!
Mat thought frustratingly as he walked up to Mac.
"Do you have an idea where he might be?" Mat asked Mac and also looked around but the more he looked, the more frustrated he became.
There was nothing but two garbage bins in the alley. There was nothing else somebody could use to hide.
"Destroy those garbage bins. I didn't check the garbage bins in case he's trying to hide and sneak attack me."
Mac gestured to the garbage bins and Mat frowned as he looked at them.
"Stay behind me." Mat warned and Mac's body swayed before it disappeared and reappeared five meters behind Mat.
Mat seeing that his brother was far enough brought his giant sword from his inventory and held it with two hands.
A red aura appeared on his great sword and the air around it became violent.
"Berserk Slash!"
Mat roared then slashed out horizontally, releasing a horizontal crimson light that was so wide that it cut into the walls of the buildings of the alley.
The crimson light kept on moving forward for at least ten meters before it disappeared, cutting everything that was in it's path.
"He's not here."
Mat had a frown on his face as he looked at the fallen halves of the garbage bins which was devoid of a Corey.
Mac walked up to Mat and also had a frown on his face. He looked around, wondering if he missed anything but he could not find a place where Corey could have disappeared to.
Unless…
Mac looked up and there he saw a window on both buildings of the alley. A smile appeared on his face.
"I've-"
Just as he was about to speak, he paused and a strange expression appeared on his face. His eyes moved away from the window and looked up in the sky.
"What happened? Do you know where he is?" Mat noticing his brother's strange state also looked up in the sky and a strange expression appeared on his face also.
Three seconds later, Mac exhaled then spoke quietly, for only Mat to hear.
"Leader said we should leave."
Mat instantly complied and turned around with Mac, leaving the alley.
Meanwhile Corey who was watching the duo leave from the window of the left building had a confused expression.
He looked at the sky from the window but he could not see a thing nor could he hear what the Mac told Mat.
"The hell is going on?" Corey muttered then sighed as his body slumped against the wall tiredly.
He took in deep breaths and then closed his eyes.
'I want to sleep.'
Corey thought then opened his eyes and looked at the door of the room he was in.
He doesn't know what the plans of the brothers were but he knew that if they dared to enter the room through the door, one of them would definitely be sent to the afterlife.
Meanwhile up in the air, a man wearing all black clothes and shoes stood calmly while gazing down at the building Corey was in with an annoyed gaze.
"You step on a cockroach, it comes back to life
You smash a cockroach with something heavy, it can still come back to life
The only way to kill a cockroach, is to burn it down, then tear it into pieces."
Kyle muttered then opened up his palm, a small tornado of fire hovered above his hand slowly growing bigger by the second.
Three seconds later, Kyle then turned his hands upside down, letting the tornado of fire fall unto the building Corey was in.
Looking at the tornado of fire dropping at the location of his past friend with cold eyes, he spoke.
"Agrandir."
Woosh!!!
The wind became turbulent and within the three seconds, the fire tornado expanded and engulfed the building Corey was in.
But the moment it did,
Crash!
A figure jumped out of the window of the building trying to reach the other building.
Kyle seeing the figure had a small smile.
"A cockroach indeed."
"That's why you must cut it up into pieces to make sure it doesn't survive."
Kyle muttered and looked as the figure climbed to the roof of the building and started running on the roof.

[A/N: I know I said that this would be the last chase chapter, but well some things happened and the next chapter is actually the last chase chapter.]
