Chapter 177: Overlord Against The Reapers Part Four
Mira watched in shock as Kai's attack was dealt with so easily, seeing him try his best to stand despite the intense burns he must have had all over his body from the lightning strike.
She saw how Alister watched as Kai tried his best, proceeding to kick him in the abdomen every time he tried to get on his feet. He was obviously far stronger; with his total combat power, he should have done away with the rest of them like he did Aria.
She remembered what he said, the sick smile he had on his face before he proceeded to burn Rex to an unrecognizable corpse.
"He's toying with us... We don't stand a chance against him... And if we all keep this up..."
"Then..."
"We'll all die here..." Finally realizing how dire their situation was, she turned to flee.
"No... I won't die here. I have my whole life ahead of me!" she yelled.
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, using her talent to enhance her speed. Kael and Kai watched in shock as they saw her go.
Alister watched her as well. Suddenly smiling, he said, "How interesting."
VOOM
With a sudden burst of speed, he chased after her, appearing right before her face in the next instant, covering miles in mere moments.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"Don't tell me you are abandoning your team?"
"Is that the attitude one should expect from a member of the Reapers' elite raid team?" "How comical."
He stepped forward towards her slowly, step by step, causing her to look in terror as she stepped backward, her legs trembling.
Out of nowhere, Mira suddenly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.
"P-please, spare me! I beg of you, sir, I... I didn't know... this was just a mission. I have no ill intentions towards you... please... I'll do anything," she begged, her voice trembling.
Alister shook his head slowly. "Awww, how sad. Unfortunately, mercy is not a commodity I can afford to give out," he said.
"But don't worry. For your surrender, I'll ensure you don't suffer." With a swift, merciless swing of his tail, Alister decapitated her, her blood splattering on his scales. Mira's body crumpled to the ground, lifeless, blood staining the earth crimson.
with ease, toying with him. Kai's movements grew slower, his strength waning.
With a final burst of energy, Kai lunged at Alister, aiming for his heart. Alister caught the dagger in his hand, shattering it effortlessly.
"It's over, Kai, join your team now in the afterlife." he said.
Alister's clawed hand shot forward, piercing Kai's chest. Kai gasped, blood spilling from his mouth as he looked into Alister's cold eyes.
Kai managed a smile, "This isn't the end... I'll be back, and when I do... I'll make sure to make you suffer, I'll take away everything precious to you, I wonder how everyone will react when they find out Mr prodigy is actually a monster..." He chuckled weakly.
"You'll be abandoned. Labeled a freak and hunted down, and I'll be sure to watch as you drown in agony and wish for death."
"An then I... will be the one to land the finishing blow." He whispered, his vision fading to
black.
[Ding! [6/6] targets eliminated.]
[All stats +30%.]
[Quest completed!]
[Notice! All threats neutralized, Berserk deactivated.]
Alister's dragon body shrunk slightly but his scales remained. He proceeded to pull out his
claws from Kai's body.
VIZZZ
Alister felt a massive stinger in his head, causing him to wince slightly.
'Side effects of the skill deactivation...' he thought.
His mind raced back to what Kael said a moment ago, "But... Was I really smiling?" he wondered, deciding to push it aside since he decided it didn't really matter, at least for now. But unbeknownst to him, by doing that, a certain emotion inside him died.
He surveyed the battlefield, the bodies of the Reapers scattered around him. "What a mess..." he muttered, his stomach nearly churning at the sight of the bloody scene.
"But now that this is over with, I should start finding my way back to the others." Turning away from the carnage, his power had grown, but there was still much to do. He stepped over the fallen, moving forward, and then with a massive beat of his golden wings, he took to the skies.
