Chapter 58 Removing The Trash (3)



"Wait, wait... Before you kill me, I have a proposal for you," Áclis said, pointing in the direction where he thought Dantalian was but missing by a few meters.

"Hmm..." Dantalian said nothing, only continued walking towards Áclis.

"The energy of Fiona, I sensed it, and it would be impossible to replicate. If she was subdued by you, I can also be useful," Áclis spoke, placing his hand on his own chest and struggling to sit on the ground with his other hand. "What do you think? Wouldn't it be better to have two? You can even use me as a hostage to lure the others."

Dantalian stopped in front of Áclis. "I'll be clear with you."

Dantalian activated the divine hand, covering his index finger with golden energy and thrusting it into Áclis' thigh. "I gain nothing by keeping you alive."

The metal of the gauntlet pierced through, tearing Áclis' skin. The golden energy injected into his body, along with the direct contact with his skin, caused a burning sensation inside and out.

"Aghhhhhhhh... My leg... My body... Damn you!" Áclis exclaimed, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

Áclis' eyes gleamed intensely in purple. His body was completely covered in Krintoin energy, and in a quick movement, he lunged forward, colliding his head with Dantalian's.

"What a bastard, worse than a cockroach," Dantalian said, his neck tilted back.

Then, he extended two fingers towards Áclis' chin, piercing through the Krintoin energy and causing it to dissipate. He swiftly struck, driving his fingers into Áclis' jaw, shattering the lower mandible and sending him flying several meters away from Dantalian.

"I can't deny that you're a strong boss in the game. I would be disappointed if you died so quickly... So, get up. I know you can do it. I'll be waiting," Dantalian said, sitting on the ground, looking at Áclis.

Everything around Áclis began to wither. All the plants, the terrain, the trees—everything succumbed to the uncontrolled Krintoin energy contained within Áclis' body. It began to take control of his mind, and his body rose, instantly healing any damage inflicted. With each passing second, the range of his energy's influence grew. If it continued like this, the entire forest would become lifeless within a few hours.

"Enough! I'm tired of being humiliated. I'm not inferior to anyone. Stop laughing at me. I am Áclis, the master of viruses, and everyone will bow down," Áclis declared, his mind fully dominated by the Krintoin energy.

Dantalian stood up and took a step forward, swiftly appearing next to Áclis. With surprising speed, he delivered a powerful slap to Áclis' chest, causing his body to tremble upon impact. At the same time, Dantalian firmly grasped Áclis with his other hand, preventing him from being thrown away.

The force of the slap reverberated through Áclis' body, leaving him momentarily dazed. His eyes widened as he tried to regain his balance.

"Shut up. A character with an inferiority complex is enough," Dantalian spoke.

"Hahahahah, what are you doing? Is this supposed to hurt? I'm invincible now. Everyone who laughed at me has died," Áclis said, his mind completely consumed by the Krintoin energy.

With an unwavering gaze, Dantalian fixed his eyes on Áclis' face, which was consumed by an uncontrollable state of psychosis. Without hesitation, he lifted his leg and delivered a powerful kick to Áclis' thigh, breaking his femur with a sinister snap. However, to his surprise, the impact had no desired effect as the bone almost instantly restored itself, returning to its normal state.

While Áclis boasted about his apparent invulnerability, his body was so fortified by Krintoin energy that not a drop of blood escaped his wounds. He defied Dantalian, firmly placing both hands on his opponent's shoulders and dangerously bringing his face close to Dantalian's. "See? Not even a drop of blood leaves my body anymore... Hit me as much as you want, I will be the victor in the end."

"Really? As much as I want?" Dantalian smiled. The second phase of Áclis in the game always ends up being irritating to the point of making many players quit. The reason is simple: whenever you reach this part of the story, your characters are in a terrible state, and the damage they inflict wouldn't even scratch Áclis. But now, in front of Dantalian, he is just a highly resistant toy.

Dantalian, using both hands, delivered a powerful slap to Áclis' ribs, causing intense pain. With a firm grip, he dug his five fingers into Áclis' flesh and forcefully pulled his arm back, tearing off two pieces of Áclis' body in the process.

Áclis' body quickly regenerated moments later. "Hahaha, see? Do whatever you want," Áclis taunted, punching Dantalian's stomach, but Dantalian remained unfazed.

Dantalian, with surprising speed, executed a precise sweep, hitting Áclis' chin with his knee. The impact was so strong that Áclis was launched into the air, momentarily losing control of his body. While Áclis was airborne, Dantalian clasped his hands together, channeling immense energy into them. With a devastating strike, he delivered a powerful blow to Áclis' back, causing him intense pain that reverberated through his entire body.

Realizing that he was completely losing control of the fight, Áclis planted both feet firmly on the ground, contorting his spine backward in a desperate act of resistance. Looking up at the sky, he let out a cry of anguish, "Give me strength, and I will give you the remaining existence!" The cry echoed through the surroundings.

"There's no Phase Three in the game, so don't try to pull any tricks," Dantalian said, grabbing Áclis by the neck, who looked at him confusedly, saying, "Wait... Let me finish."I think you should take a look at

"Huh? Why would I do that? I'm not an idiot," Dantalian began to tighten his grip, his right eye glowing intensely yellow as the golden energy spread throughout Áclis' body.

"Frankly, you should learn to use your power better... Master of viruses," Dantalian smirked, mocking Áclis' current predicament.

"You still haven't realized?" Áclis spoke as his body was pulled beneath the ground by two smoky purple hands, disappearing from Dantalian's sight.

"The place you're in is already under my dominion. I told you, I'm invincible."

"Hahahahah," Áclis' laughter could be heard from all directions.

' He was already irritating, and now with the Krintoin energy amplifying his complex, he became a thousand times worse ' Dantalian thought, covering his eyes with golden energy. Looking around, he pinpointed exactly where Áclis was hiding.

"Tell me, how do you plan to attack me from the ground?"

"You're really underestimating me, aren't you? So why don't you tell me what you're feeling?" said Áclis.

Dantalian had walked up to where Áclis was hiding, looking down and preparing to attack. "So, it seems you've finally decided to use your powers, huh?"

"Hahaha, why are you acting all tough? Or Are you hallucinating?" said Áclis.

Dantalian punched the ground, thrusting his arm and firmly gripping Áclis's head, applying a strong pressure that caused small cuts. However, these cuts healed almost instantly, only to be replaced by new ones. He then tore Áclis from his hiding spot and threw him into the air, taking a deep breath. Dantalian began targeting Áclis's body with a barrage of punches.

The power behind each strike multiplied due to the constant acceleration of his movements, as the golden energy covered both of his fists and the gauntlets themselves.

When Dantalian was about to deliver the final punch, he opened his hand, causing the golden energy that covered the entire gauntlet to concentrate only on the claws of his four largest fingers. He struck and plunged his hand into Áclis's head, preventing the regeneration provided by Krintoin energy.

"You really irritated me..." Dantalian spoke as he grabbed what remained of the once magnificent black mantle that Áclis wore, now reduced to tatters, pulling it close to him. He withdrew his other hand from Áclis's head, allowing regeneration to take place. Now, with Áclis able to see the image in front of him again, he woke up to reality.

With his left eye glowing intensely in a golden hue, fixed on Áclis, Dantalian spoke, "I only planned to have some fun and then give you a quick death, as you would become too dangerous and I would gain nothing from it."

"Ugh... I feel dizzy... What's happening?" Áclis spoke, shocked by the sudden awakening from Krintoin energy control, rendering him unable to think clearly.

Dantalian sighed in disappointment, plunging the arm that was previously inside Áclis's head into his chest, searching for Áclis's heart. When he found it, he gripped it with his fingers, exerting no force, but positioning each of the five fingers precisely.

"Ah... What are you doing? What have I done to you?" Áclis seemed to have regained his sanity, realizing what was about to happen. He began expending all of his Krintoin energy, targeting only Dantalian.

At that moment, all the diseases that Áclis was aware of, whose genes could be altered to become as lethal as possible, entered Dantalian's body.

"This didn't work before. Why are you doing it again, but in greater quantity?" The gauntlet's claws delved into Áclis's heart.

"Who the hell are you? How can you be immune? All of them were modified to have no cure." Áclis spoke motionlessly, at this point his body had reached exhaustion due to the constant destruction and reconstruction.

"I have no reason to talk to a dead man." Dantalian spoke, injecting the golden energy directly into Áclis's heart. Regardless of how strong his regeneration may be, his body had already been pushed to its limits. The Krintoin energy now only made the golden energy more destructive.

Far away from where Dantalian was, in the castle's meeting room, Fiona spoke as she looked at Anna and Echidna. "I no longer sense Áclis's presence, so it's best if you start preparing the reward. We only need one last thing to complete this mission."
