Chapter 152: Dead

' Zero who will receive the Fog that is released from their bodies? ' Lucian questioned as he waited for the perfect moment to strike, while holding his sword.[ Any awakened woman who is close, if there is none then any women who is nearby, which will turn them into awakened but if the Fog's quantity is too high then they might just explode. ]

' Oh so this is the another way of people awakening you told me before, indeed it is very risky. ' Lucian thought, then just as the creature rolled to the other side, he got his chance to strike.

Pulling the sword backward with its tip pointed towards the Xaru, Lucian thrusted it with all his strength and aimed towards the head of the creature.

*BANG*

As the tip of the sword came in contact with the Xaru's head it met some resistance but without stopping Lucian kept pushing and before the Xaru could react he succeeded in thrusting the sword through the brain of the Xaru, killing it finally.

This Xaru was not even at the peak of 2nd Phase yet it was quite difficult to kill, the only reason why Lucian was able to thrust his sword in the body of that 3rd Phase Xaru was because of the force he borrowed from the explosion.

Lucian released a long breath, as he pulled his sword back for now he have dealt with the immediate danger, so now he would just need to wait for the awakeners to start rescuing people-

[MOVE] .

Just as this text appeared in Lucian's head he moved his body forward and summoned the black flames.

*KACCHAK*

All of sudden, something hit Lucian's back on the lower right side and tore through his skin and flesh, leaving a dangerously big wound, a wave of pain suddenly surged all over his body.

Lucian jumped away, he placed his hands over the wound and looked back at his attacker, it was actually the 3rd Phase Xaru which seemed close to death on the roof.

The attack power was reduced greatly because of the Fire of Corruption, still the wound was big.

Warm blood flowed out of his wound, although the Xaru wanted to pierce Lucian's heart but the composition of a human's and Xaru's bodies were completely different,so it ended up a non fatal wound.

The Xaru was barely standing on its feet, previously on the roof top even though it was in pain but it still had enough energy left to kill Lucian so it was just pretending to be in so much agony, but Lucian never attacked, leaving it with no other choice.

*KRKRKRKR*

As the Xaru released a laughing sound it almost seemed as if it was the sound of a baby crying, a 3rd Phase creature was really very strong and it won't be killed so easily.

" Huff Huff Zero, why is your warning always a bit late? Anyway, that thing looks more injured than me, how long do you think it can stay awake? "

Lucian mumbled, his gaze fixed on the Xaru while he held the sword tightly, black flames burning around his body which slowed the flow of blood once it left his body.

The Xaru was being careful because of its body's condition, it didn't charge forward madly like before.

[ I am sorry, I was busy looking through something else so I noticed it too late. That Xaru had already lost almost all of its life force, it will die on its own in a minute or two. ]

Lucian stood still and didn't give the Xaru any chance to attack, his blood was flowing out of the wound uncontrollably making a small pool around his feet.

On the other hand, Xaru's body was in an even worse condition. Even for a 3rd Phase creature it had recieved too much damage and finally after a little over a minute had passed it finally fell down and took its last breath.

" Haa Finally its dead, damnit I am feeling dizzy. "

Lucian cursed as he sat down with his back against the wall, his legs losing all the strength and the flames disappeared.

Even though the Xaru's hand had not pierced through his body but the wound was still quite big, and blood loss was making it difficult for him to think properly.

" So the fate actually took the victory in the end, I guess I was just too weak to go against something that g- grand haa haa. "

Lucian muttered, his breathing becoming ragged, he looked out of the window and saw several people flying around and killing the creatures from another planet.

[...]

" So now haa Jasmine is going to meet with m- my mother, and since they will haa haa think I am dead so they are going to fight, r- right? "

Lucian spoke, even his vision was getting blurry even though he had pressed his hand against the wound but it was not doing a very good job at stopping the blood.

[ Yes, they must already be fighting right now, the fate will always bring the story to its original plot one way or another, there could be some some twists and changes along the way but in the end it will according to plan. It even went as far as creating such a disaster to keep everything right. ]

" Hmm, even being close with two of the strongest beings on this planet meant nothing, in the end it all comes down to ones own strength, after all it is only the weak that tries to cling to other and depend on them.

Heh so this is how it all ends... "

Lucian's voice was slowly getting weak, his heart beat getting slower with each moment, until finally his breathing came to a stop.

[...]

"..."

[...]

"..."

[ Enough of your playing dead, stop your bleeding first. ]

" Heh, I almost fooled someone. Ughh damn it hurts, that bastard. "

Lucian cursed,then pushing against the wall he slowly stood up and dragged his body towards the storage room where several people were still hiding.

After barging into the storage room, Lucian spoke: " Where is the m- med kit? "

A woman stood up and took out a medicine kit from the shelf then she brought it close to Lucian, as she looked at his clothes she was shocked to see so much blood.

[ Give me a minute I will combine and enhance the healing properties of these medicines. ]

Reading these words, although he was feeling a lot of pain Lucian sent all of the meds to Zero then he sat down and took off his shirt slowly.

All the people in the room shivered when they saw the wound on Lucian's body, they wondered how he was even alive with such a big wound.

' I need to increase my strength as soon as possible, who knows which phase creature the fate will throw at me next. '

Lucian thought he never even considered dying in such a place, even if no one comes here to help him but he would still struggle as much as he could and do his best to survive. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
