Meeting

"Don't let this small success get to your head, main battle has yet to begin."

"A moment of distraction can cost our life." Death reminded.

"I understand."

He was flooded with emotions, tension, excitement, and fear, he felt it all, and it made his blood boil.

I never truly felt more alive, so that's how it feels to be living on the edge.

Leon finally calmed and looked at five remaining clones, and they also started at him with dead eyes.

Suddenly, weapons began to materialize in their hands, there was a sword, a saber, a spear, a dagger and chain whip.

"This is not fair." he got nervous and said.

"It was never fair from the start, this is the battle of death." Death said with a bit of anger.

It was not a trial, but a sentence of death. If not for the Death Force, they would have been already decimated.

"This Mad God lives up to his name, no wonder thousands of gods died in this place," he said.

This time all five of them moved, attacking him from different directions.

Leon took out his sword prepared to defend the attack, suddenly, a sword strike appeared, but blocked by him.

He used his fist and punched the clone, it went flying and dissipated.

Shik!

Another clone appeared and stabbed him on the back.

Aaaah!

He felt sharp pain, he turned around and threw his palm at the clone.

"Die!!! you son of the bitch."

He grabbed the clone from the head and threw him into the ground.

Death Qi invaded in its head, and the clone dissipated.

Anger and rage took over his mind, and he started to lose his mind.

"Keep Calm!, or we will die." Death shouted.

This was one of the side effects of fusing his soul with Death, even though it gave him the power to control Death Qi, but it also influenced his emotions. He needed a strong soul and unshakable will to overcome this flaw, otherwise, he might lose the reason and become a madman.

Leon came to his senses, immediately he saw a spear coming for his heart, followed by a chain whip which was targeted at his head.

Puchi!

He moved sideways and avoided the chain whip, but spear still managed to pierce his right shoulder.

Damn!

Leon caught the spear, and separated it with his shoulder and slashed his sword at the clone. Clone divided into two pieces and turned into fog, then dissipated.

I must finish it as soon as possible, otherwise, I am dead.

He saw two last renaming clones, one was holding a chain whip while other a saber. Surprisingly, a clone with saber had not attacked him till now.

This time he took the initiative and closed the distance between him and the clone with the chain whip.

"This guy is troublesome, I must finish him first." He said to himself.

Suddenly, a clone holding saber moved and slashed at him, but he expected this and dodged while attacking back at him. Sword landed on clone's neck while separating it from the body, finally, dissipating it into nothingness.

Bang!

"Aaah!" Leon screamed.

Suddenly, chain whip landed on his head and he fell at his knees. His head started bleeding profusely, and it almost sent him to the verge of losing consciousness.

"YOU WILL DIE FOR THIS!!!" He looked at clone and said with raging voice.

He stood up, and Death Qi started to surround his body. He gripped his sword tightly and moved towards the clone. The clone looked at him and threw his whip at Leon, but he completely ignored the whip, it landed on his leg and almost made him lose the footing.

Damn you!

Leon did not stop and ran towards to clone with even faster speed. Before clone could attack again, he appeared in front of it, and then, stabbed his sword into the heart of the clone.

It looked at him one last time, and then, slowly dissipated into nothingness.

Silence descended on the hall.

Thud!

Leon fell on his back and screamed with all of his remaining strength.

"I WON, HA HA HA, I KILLED OF OF THEM!"

"Hm! hm! hm! Someone survived my trial." A voice echoed from the end of the hall.

Leon was stunned, he looked at the place, from where the voice came from.

"Huh? A mortal?" Voice said in questioning tone.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared, hovering over the corner of the hall.

"Who are you?" Leon asked.

"How did you pass the trail?" Ignoring him, Voice asked, overbearingly.

Leon got nervous, he could see that person in front of him was very strong.

"I defeated all the clones." mustering courage, he said.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"My clones cannot be killed, even gods failed, how a mere mortal can kill them." Voice refused to believe, said.

Clones were created using Life Qi and did not have body and soul, even gods would find it hard, so how could moral destroy them?

"What treasure did you use?" He thought the only possibility, said overbearingly.

Voice obviously belonged to the Mad God Kronos, he was chased down and badly hurt by the group of gods, at his dying moments, he split his ultimate treasure into six fragments and attached part of his soul to each of them. He then created this tower and put one fragment on each floor.

Treasure's ability allowed his soul to survive, but his soul could not leave the treasure, so he formulated the plan to kill those bastards, he created portals to lure them here. He must kill as many as possible, and even if they get the treasure fragment, and one of his soul dies, he could still take revenge when they come to another floor.

The plan was perfect, and he managed to kill thousands of them, but those bastards got smart and stopped coming.

Why would they send as mortal here, and what treasure they have given him?

"No matter what the treasure you have, you must die today," Kronos said.
