Chapter 762: Epilogue (8)
Fer what was it again? Why cant I remember the name?
I thought to myself as I listened to that voice which sounded so familiar to me, like it was etched into my very soul.
And arent I able to control fire? Not just any old fire, too -a blackish-red flame that no one would ever mistake for anything other than ominous.
Thats right, that flame is called Nether Flame. A flame born from hell itself, a flame of the Apocalypse my flame!
In the very next instant, that half-dissolved flame lioness suddenly exploded out of the sickly green fog enveloping it, concentrating into a reddish sphere. And from deep within that crackling ball of fire, a change started. A wave of blackish-red flame swiftly consumed the reddish flame, at which point a new lion began to take shape, one with a majestic coat of black and red and a tail alit with motes of fire.
That greenish fog was of a lower ranking than these nether flames, thus when my summon evolved into a nether flame lioness, that corrosive fog instantly burst into flames, turning to smoke a mere moment later.
Roar!!!
The nether flame lioness leapt out of the fast-vanishing fog of green, diving into the skeletal giant like a mighty meteor from the heavens, blowing a gaping hole in the skeletons skull.
Because the giant was an undead creature stitched together out of multiple smaller ones, the nether flames went unhindered as they scorched a swathe before them. As the seconds ticked by, the giants skull steadily disappeared till over half of it was missing!
The black-robed figure launched itself out of the hellscape of black and red that was the giants skull. Yet no matter how fast it was, it still caught some of the blackish-red flames.
It landed atop one of the skyscrapers nearby, then with a swish of its sleeves, put out the flames, though those sleeves were still destroyed in the process.
It stared at me with disbelieving eyes, and what counted for a slack jaw in a skeleton. How did you get so strong all of a sudden?!
Because I topped up.
Huh?
I mean I remembered some stuff, stuff that ought to belong to me.
As I finished saying that, the nether flame lioness switched targets and leapt at the black-robed skeleton.
The nether flame lioness instinctively knew to duck away from the collapsing pile of bones. A thunderous bang later, the unrobed skeleton was enveloped in a shroud of dust and rubble
By the time this dust cloud had dissipated, that skeleton was nowhere to be seen. There was only a large hole left in its wake, most likely dug out by some skeletal beast.
Crap, it actually managed to escape but I guess this means Ive found our mastermind at least and I still have some important matters to take care of
Like the fact that the so-called character I was playing, and so mercilessly made fun of, was actually me!
Im Mo Ke, unmarried, age Thats not important now, and not just because I dont want to be a grand sage I clearly have several fiancees now! But why am I still a virgin then?!
Wait, wait, nows not the time for that as well. Why am I even here? And isnt this Nicoles sword?
And unless my memory is still lying to me, I was stabbed by this very sword!
So what happened after that? Why am I in this futuristic world?
What happened after Nicole stabbed me? I must have lost my memory of that period, or maybe Fertinier was in control of my body.
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was Sis and Hold on!
Im already I mean Im clearly older than Bitong, so why do I have to call her Sis?
Fertinier you did this, didnt you?!
Get out here, Fertinier! Get out here, right now!
Dont try to play dumb with me! I know this so-called system lady is you!
Geez, all I did was lose my memory, and you took advantage of this opportunity to sell me my own stuff I bet youre all proud of yourself right now, making a killing off my stuff! You despicable merchant!
If you dont come out this instant Hmmm I guess theres nothing I can do to you but I can ignore you too.
