"skill activation, blessing of the Gods. Skill activation, ire of the God's".
Caren with her skills, buffed up Riley and Dexter while casting her debuff skill on Orun. How far her debuff skill can work on her opponent solely depends on the level of the opponent she is faced with.
"Dexter you go first and I wi...."
Riley turned his head to the sides where Dexter was so he could give him the details of the plan, but he was surprised to see that Dexter was no longer by his side.
He looked to his front thinking Dexter had gone ahead of him to attack the monster, but he wasn't there as well.
Riley noticed that Dexter isn't the only one who had disappeared, the monster also is no longer standing where it was supposed to be.
Riley is now starting to get real worried. Somehow, in someway, Dexter that should have been by his side disappeared in the blink of an eye, along with the monster. Surely, something must have happened, but what?.
*smash!!*
The sound came from the sides and Riley immediately responded by turning his gaze over to it.
*smash!!, smash!!*.
What he saw, is Dexter's body laying on the ground and his head being aggressively hit through the wall by the monster who had his hand on the back of Dexter's head.
How the monster had caught hold of Dexter who was standing next to Riley, and how he had gotten to the wall with Dexter, all happened without Riley or Caren seeing the process.
It was like the scenes that involved how the monster got hold of Dexter had played out, and they just stood still lifeless for the scene to unfold to its current state.
He finally stopped bashing Dexter's head in the wall only after the final bashing that buried his face into the wall.
Rilry couldn't see Dexter's face, but the droppings could be heard, made from the blood dripping from Dexter's head.
"you, you killed him, you monster, how dare you".
Riley with his broken sword charged at the monster who had taken his attention away from Dexter and now has it on Riley.
"Riley, control yourself. Do not be consumed by rage".
Riley did not hear a word Caren had said, as the only thought lingering in his mind, is only to sever the monster into pieces as revenge for taking Dexter's life.
"I extend unto you a hand for peaceful communication, but you replied me with death, then death shall it be".
He said sounding irritated at Riley whose expression showed how angry he is at him.
Orun should be the one getting angry, because he had almost been killed by them after letting his guard down.
He easily intersected Riley, getting to his front with just a blink of an eye and reaching his hand out to his chest.
"I do not take pleasure in death. More than anything, I treasure all live as equal, but my life comes first".
Even though Riley could not understand a word out of the monster's speech, he still felt fear from it. His body shivered when he saw a hand come out fr behind his ear, and a tongue so long it started twisting itself and latching unto his cheek.
The terror that had been conjured up by Riley's fear of the monster rendered him totally immobile. His sword raised up and being stagnant that way, he watched as his life flashed before his own eyes at the hands of the monster before him.
The monster sprouted out thorns from his hand, stabbing it through Riley's chest. Riley in no time falls to the ground in pain, with blood flowing down his chest, he let's go of his sword shortly after struggling for a while.
"Skill activation, greater heal".
The open wound on Riley's chest slowly but surely started closing back up with the effects of Caren's heal skill.
"Regeneration?....."
The monster said as he saw Riley's body slowly healing. It brought back to him memories he wished would be buried away in the deepest part of his consciousness never to resurface again.
Orun crouched his body down, and placed his widened palm on Riley's head.
"i wonder?..., will your regenerative ability still work if you lose your head just like he did".
The monster used his Inferno skill, with the flames set on his palm. Just like he had once did to the Goblin king, exploding him from the inside out by gathering heat pressure inside his body.
Orun applied this ame process to Riley by gathering heat pressure mainly inside his head and not spreading it to the other parts.
It took a while, during which Riley's head started to grow like a tumor, losing the shape he had and disfiguring his beautiful face until it exploded into pieces.
The meat pieces of what was left of Riley's head splattered on the monster, along with his blood staining his hair.
"getting blood on my body moments after my awakening is not what I intended for".
Orun said looking irritated while still maintaining a poker facr, trying to dust off what was left of Riley's flesh off of his hair.
"Riley!!....."
Caren shouted out after witnessing the death of her Comrades. She is not a battle type adventurer, but a support type. The moment Riley's sword broke, they knew they had little chance of winning. Now that Riley and Dexter are both dead, Caren knew that her survival rate is zero, but she wasn't going to let that stop her and go down without putting up a fight.
"skill activation, chains of the God's".
White light came out of Caren's staff, and when it got to the monster, it turned into chains forcefully and aggressively bonding itself to Orun, wanting to squeeze the life out of him.
"skill activation, Ire of the God's, ire of the God's, Ire of the God's".
Caren kept on bombarding the monster with debuff, stacking it and wanting to wear him out, Orun however did not flinch nor show any signs of being weakened.
The White chains that was binding his body easily let's loose when he takes a step forward.
"chains of this caliber won't hold me human. You will need something more durable than this if your intention is to tie me down".
Caren just how useless the chain was rendered by the monster making his way up to her. Despite the debuff she had stacked on him, he did not feel worn out nor look like he is.
Every step Orun takes towards Caren, was like her wall of belief in her God's was gradually being fallen by the monster. She turned her gaze to his hand and saw two sharpened cutlass with blood dripping from it, and when she took her gaze back to the monsters upper body, she saw his shoulders sprouting out the heads of her fallen Comrades.
"get..., get away from me!!..., get away from me you monster".
Caren shouted out as she uncontrollably falls to the ground with her staff falling off her hand.
Seeing him up close, she understood clearly what she was dealing with. Her mentality that was supposed to have been fortified with her belief in the God's, easily broke apart. Spit drooling out of her mouth, as water flowed out from her lower body part.
Caren's body overcome with the monster's intense bloodlust went numb, staring blankly into the space and her eye duct dimming of the light she once had.
"you brought this on yourself human".
Orun finally making his way to Caren, killed her by thrusting his bare hand in her chest and ripping her cold still beating heart out.
With the adults done with, the monster raised his gaze and fixating it on the kids behind Caren, stomped on the ground and panicking in fear of witnessing people being killed for the first time, and in such a cruel way to boot.
