Chapter 105: Series of Unfortunate Events

"Hey, hey! You've got to be kidding me." Both me and the souls were amazed. The smoke that was covering Fafnir's body disappeared and it revealed himself. Unfazed and undamaged.

"I'll take over." I said to the souls.

"I just took over for a couple of minutes! Let me have fun too slave driver."

"Wow, you really have the guts to call me that? Anyway, just let me be."

"Fine."

As soon as I opened my eyes I was back in my own body. I retrieved both of my Bloodlust nodachi back to my inventory. "Telepathy." I then connected myself to all of them except Fafnir. "Let's retreat."

"Hey! We can still do this!" Greta voiced her opinion.

"No we can't." Zeta then spoke. "What... I don't know who took over your body Zieglind but it seems you're back. You casted several high tier skills that I don't even have yet and this dragon wasn't even fazed. We're just throwing him around with our skills and not doing that much damage."

"I agree." Afal then suddenly spoke. "We've been throwing skills non-stop and his health barely changed. And look at his health, he's self regenerating. Faster than the output of our damage."

"Same with me." "Mhm." "I'm afraid we're far too weak." Yefa, Rize and Precia agreed.

"Fine, fine! So what do we do?" Greta seemed like she still wanted to fight.

"Afal, dispel your duel skill first then I'll dispel mine. I'll handle the rest."

"Are you... talking in the middle of a fight!?" Fafnir interrupted our conversation. "The arrogance!" He then rushed towards me, lunging towards me with his claws. I simply dodge it to the side and began to counter attack. "Binding Light!" Fafnir then was chained to the ground.

"You damn insect..."

"Now, Afal!"

"Dispel!" Afal dispelled his duel skill and began running away.

"Dispel!" I did the same, I dispelled my armor to lighten my body to run faster and dispelled the domain of the bloodfallen skill and we were back in the place we were before.

"Running away? I won't let you!" Fafnir grabbed my arm and literally twisted it.

[Dual Casting will be disabled.]

I then used my own strength to twist it further to completely amputate it from my body. Fafnir was shocked and lost his balance and fell to the ground.

I then used lightning body to get in front of Zeta. I grabbed his head, "Telepathy, pass this on, Mass Teleport! Use it! I'm out of mana!"

"Got it! Mass Teleport!" A large portal then opened below us. It has a small channeling cast time so we need to protect Zeta until he finishes casting.

I then retrieved one of my Bloodlust from my inventory and summoned Gaia. I started off by rushing towards him and swinging my nodachi. He blocked it with his claws. Then suddenly, Fafnir exploded and he was knocked back a couple of meters.

I looked back and it was Rize's bullets that was hitting him. "Leave it to me for the support!"

"SIGURD!!!" Fafnir was angry. He tried to rush to me again but this time it was Greta who intervened.

"Hunting!" She became even faster, circling around Fafnir as she began to run then attack consecutively. He couldn't follow her movements.

Afal joined in and began unleashing his fastest move.

Fafnir was having a hard time defending himself because of the speed of both of them. But it's just useless struggle. As Afal said, his regeneration is faster than our combined damage output.

"It's done! Let's go!" Zeta's mass teleport has finally finished. We all went to the middle and waited for him to teleport us. "Teleport us to Polk!"

But in that instant, and that moment, Fafnir accelerated far beyond the speed we were expecting. I managed to catch up to him before his claws reached to Zeta. Blocking with my own body as his claws pierced into my shoulders.

"No you won't! Sprint!" Using Sprint and Lightning Body, I didn't have to worry about controlling my own speed. I just need to be faster than him. I then rammed him outside of the portal. "HAAAAAAA!!!"

"Zieglind, no!" Everyone shouted.

"See ya."

Then they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You sacrificed yourself? HAHAHA! You're pathetic!" Fafnir then removed his claws on my shoulder.

"Haaa... damn it. This is frustrating. Armor of the Bloodfallen." I can't win. It resonated in my head. But at least I need them to be alive. I finally have something to want to achieve and something to protect. I can't lose that... even if I did lose my life! "Come, Bloodlust!"

"Dragon's Breath!"

"You can still cast dragon skills in that form!?"

It was a surging wave of fire. It was slow so I could avoid it.

"I'm tired. It's time to end this."

I then rushed over to him. He didn't move but suddenly, I tripped to the ground. When I looked back, my left leg was gone.

"Crap. I'm fu-"

Fafnir then thrusts his claws onto my back. He lifted me off of the ground.

"Ugly if I do say so myself." He began to cut off my remaining arms and legs.

So this is how I die?

The last thing I saw, Fafnir's claws dug deep into my chest.
