Chapter 260  [End] [He Who Shouldn\'t Exist] [2]

There are only a few people for whom I can sacrifice my own life.

...Oliver was one of them.

Someone who stuck with me even when the empire despised me.

His death hurt more than anything, more than months of torture.

I focused too much on who ordered to kill him that I neglected to find out who actually killed him.

...I shouldn\'t have done that.

Edel deserves death, and he will die.

But...

There is another person who deserves death more than him.

The blinding light that engulfed me slowly died down as my surroundings cleared up.

I twisted my body mid-air, landing on my feet, the heavy rainfall dampening my body.

I looked around the place, finding students groaning and coughing because of the adverse effects of sudden teleportation.

The sound of untamed sea waves radiated in the place.

A series of long arched open gates stood seemingly like an entrance inside, wide enough for a platoon to walk through without a problem.

I recognized the place from the game.

Moshel\'s Tomb. My gaze moved quickly from the gates to the boy with black hair standing at the edge of the gate.

...And then it shifted towards the boy with grey markings on his body.

\'Ethan.\' My body trembled violently as I stepped forward, a thunder flashed across the horizon as I found myself standing beside Aimar.

Ethan glared at both of us with a sword in his hand.

An irritating voice crawled like bugs in my ears, "Are you aware of what you are doing!?"

I glanced back to look at the mint-haired boy.

...Ivan.

I dismissed his words without a second thought.

"I will take his head," Aimar said, taking out his spear.

"..."

I quietly took out my katana, barely holding back my mind from sinking into frenzy.

"Are you trying to kill an Avatar?" Ethan growled, the marks on his body glowing. "Do you know the consequences of—"

"Do I need to remind you again who you truly are, commoner?" Aimar snarled, his golden eyes crucifying him.

Mana bubbled around him, his body burst out a speck of Elohim\'s divinity, putting a feathery protective layer on him.

"I am more valuable than you, pest," he rebuked.

In the next instant, my body blurred, cutting through the heavy downpour with ease.

My body twisted to gain momentum as I swept my katana at his face.

A crystal pillar emerged from the ground, deflecting my katana, but a gust of wind covered my body, carrying me above the pillar.

Using the pillar as a platform, I propelled towards Ethan.

CLANG!!!

His sword parried my attack before a gust of wind rushed beside him.

Aimar twisted his body before kicking Ethan in the ribs.

The wind carried him, slamming his body hard on the arched gate, cracks forming on it like thunder on the horizon.

But Ethan quickly recovered, rushing back toward us once again.

Mana condensed around him like a blade before his lips parted. "Bloom."

Tens of crystal flowers emerged around him, spinning at an alarming speed.

"Move!" I ordered.

Aimar propelled back before his body got engulfed in a portal.

SWISH!!!

The petals of the spinning flowers thrust at my body.

I sidestepped or used my katana to parry them as I looked at Ethan.

A portal emerged behind him, a spear launched at his heart.

His head twisted, a sneer on his face, the tip of Aimar\'s spear clashing with a greyish hue protecting his body—Elohim\'s divinity.

Aimar rushed forward, thrusting his spear at his weak points, but the same hue stopped his attack again.

My legs turned that of an angel as I rushed towards him.

Neplh!!

The ground turned frictionless as a thin layer of ice emerged over it.

My body spun, evading the last petal as my katana swept backward, just a little close to slicing his throat.

Ethan abruptly focused back on me from Aimar, his lips parted again.

"Turning spell."

And just as the katana touched his throat, I felt my mana depleting rapidly, making the cut shallow.

The previous inertia threw my body away.

I grabbed onto the arched gate, stopping my body from moving.

Ethan now started to overpower Aimar with sheer raw power.

\'He changed his rank with mine.\' I grimaced before I placed both my legs on the stone gate.

Without a second thought, I burst mana in my legs, rushing back to him.

Raising my hand, I swept my katana close to his face, but sensing it, Ethan propelled himself away from Aimar.

His forearm moved, glowing in a greyish hue before a shield made of divinity materialized.

Muspelh!

My katana burst into a torrent of crimson flames. It easily cut through the divinity shield but couldn\'t reach his forearm.

"Tch!"

I clicked my tongue in frustration as I threw away my melting katana while Ethan looked at me in horror.

But in his daze, he didn\'t notice a portal materialized just beside him.

A spinning kick from Aimar to his face crashed him into the muddy ground a few times before his body slammed on the arched gate once again.

"Cough, cough."

Ethan coughed violently.

A portal emerged behind him; Aimar grabbed him before spinning his body toward me.

A greyish hue protected him.

Silverish runes burned my skin as I curled my fist until my bones screamed in pain.

A low boom echoed as I punched his gut before a shockwave followed, throwing him away through the arched gateway.

I yanked away the blood on my knuckles as I walked towards him.

Neplh!

A blade of ice conjured in my hand while Aimar walked out of a portal beside me.

Ethan\'s body recovered quickly as he stood up once again, albeit with less confidence than before.

"...It\'s impossible to cut through divinity," Ethan said through his clenched jaw, glaring at me. "How are you doing it?"

"..."

I kept my mouth shut as my eyes burned with anger.

I kept on conjuring blades using Neplh while using Andarnaur\'s ring to make them float around me.

Ethan bent his body and, with uncanny quickness, rushed towards Aimar.

But a portal emerged in his path and one close to Aimar, who raised his spear in one swift moment.

"Arghh!"

Ethan hit his own shoulder on the tip of the spear, and even though it didn\'t break his divinity, it did damage him.

At the same time, I rushed forward, slashing the ice sword at his side.

He used the same maneuver as before, forming a shield of divinity to protect himself.

Muspelh! The icy cold blade turned crimson fire that sliced through his shield.

Grabbing another blade, I repeated it again, slashing a large chunk of his forearm.

He howled in agony as he yanked his body back, clutching his hand that bled furiously.

The wind moved like it had its own will, yanking him back towards me.

I thrust my blade forward in a sharp motion, wide, carving an arc.

"Argh!"

But before I could slash down, I felt a throbbing pain in my back just below my neck.

"Azariah!" Aimar screamed as I stumbled.

Ethan didn\'t let my vulnerability slide as he lowered his upper body, kicking my guts.

"Urgh!"

I groaned as I flew back in the air, but a gentle wind grabbed onto me, slowly lowering my body.

"Hey, are you alright?" Aimar asked as I looked back.

An arrow was lodged deeply just below my neck beside my spine.

I gritted my teeth as I yanked the arrow out before freezing the wound.

"Did you really think you can kill an Avatar and I will just stand back and watch?"

My head turned to my side as Ivan walked toward Ethan, a few students with him.

Aimar tried to attack him, but I grabbed his hand.

"You are trying to kill our empire\'s future," he snarled, pointing his bow at me. "Have you really gone mad?"

I pushed myself up as I moved my shoulder blades to feel them.

Ethan\'s wound was slowly recovering while he stepped away from the conflict.

But just as he passed through the end of the arched gate, his body vanished into thin air.

\'...Fuck.\' I groaned in frustration as I felt a little sluggish.

A portal emerged at the end of the arched gate as Aimar ran after him.

"..."

I turned my gaze back to Ivan.

\'I let the clown live for too long.\' Limping a little, I walked towards him.

[Are you alright?]

\'...Yeah.\' I replied to El\'s concerned voice.

[....Don\'t lose yourself.]

\'...\'

"Can you feel your body melting?" I looked at Ivan; he gloated, smiling at me. "How does it feel being poisoned—?"

I grabbed him by his throat, lifting him up.

"Urghh."

He tried to free himself while I slowly clawed at his windpipe.

"Poison doesn\'t work on me, idiot," I said before a cracking sound of bones echoed.

My grip loosened, and his lifeless body fell down.

I glanced at the rest of the students running away in fear.

Ignoring them, I walked towards the end of the arched gateway.

The uncomfortable feeling of something sticking to my body gripped me before it burst.

The scenery changed around me.

"..."

A girl blocked my pathway. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Az."

Ashlyn whispered softly, looking at me tenderly.
