Decisive Victory(Volume 1 Chapter 10) (Finale)

Lester which was previously an undead has become a Reaper now and used a scythe as his weapon and Alex who was formerly a goblin has now become a Hobgoblin Mage and Clara who was previously a Lamia has become a High Lamia now. I dodged the incoming fireball and used Appraisal on them.

In only a span of some hours, they have evolved and have become stronger. Even though we have the advantage in numbers it will be a tough fight as we can't kill any of them as all of them are from my original world and Alex and Lester are my friends. If we were going with the intention to kill I will just set Sam loose and enjoy the show but defeating them without killing them meant we need to have a decisive victory to make them surrender to us.

Lester used his summon skeleton skill and summoned five skeletons, Christina immediately rushed at these skeletons killing all of them in just a matter of seconds. she crushed the skull of the first skeleton, broke the rib cage of the second,

the third skeleton whole body was crushed by sword smite"|||" the remaining skeletons tried to run away but Christina chanted

Christina-("Fluttering water spirit, pierce my foolish enemies ")

Ice spikes emerging from ground pierced the remaining skeletons. A chill ran in my spine seeing the fate of the skeletons, the frienemies respond we're also not different the Clara who always had a smile on was not angry on the loss of skeletons but she simply stared at Christina. Well, one can't really blame her as seeing the sight of one powerful attack after another and that with such a high efficiency was not something you see every day. Breaking the ice Sam met face to face with Lester as he was the only person Sam can currently fight with not holding back If he were to fight Clara or Alex they will surely perish. Asuka and Christina teamed up to defeat Alex and I was ready to have a duel with Clara the root of all the problems that lead to this battle. I used to sprint and closed the distance to Clara just maintaining enough distance to use my sword and evade her punches, I raised my sword to slash her but she used her tail to deflect the attack and punched me while closing the distance between us. I was blown away by the solid punching and was slammed on the nearby rock the situation for the others were much better, Sam was able to overcome the hordes of skeletons and was able to overwhelm Lester as originally Sam raw stats were higher just overcoming the skeletons were key to his victory. Alex being a smart opponent was difficult to defeat he would use a spell at a distance and sword at close distance. Even though Christina was the one confronting. Alex was able to hold his own ground but Asuka frequent use of web and acid spray was making it difficult for Alex to move freely to launch a counter against Christina's attack. Even though the match may look equal to a third party but the numbers will surely help our side as Alex will lose his MP and stamina with time. The only anomaly was my duel. Clara even though having the same grade as I was more skilled than me and she was attacking with the intention to kill whereas I wanted her to surrender killing monster was one thing but killing a girl from my world was another. If she was Elene it would have been different but she had yet to do anything to me so I wanted to sort out the matters with her

Valor-(" why did you charm my friends")

Clara-("I just wanted to survive, if I didn't do that surely you would have done something perverted to me and murder me after having your fill")

what kind of monster she thought we were.

Valor-( "we are not some seasoned criminals heck we are goddamn high school students and We study in the famous Aston Academy ")

Clara-(" So you were a student at my school. what are your name and class?")

Valor-(" I am Valor William from class 2-E")

Christina-(" Ara ara that will make you my junior")

Valor-("So can we stop fighting senior I have no intention of harming you, frankly speaking, what can a skeleton even do to you")

I regretted my words after saying that as I was speaking pretty loudly and Lester and Alex had already stopped fighting as they were now no longer under the command of Clara and were free. Silence fell in the area

Christina-("You were not a human but a skeleton.....WHY DID YOU LIED TO ME VALOR!")

I looked towards my friends but they were casually chatting among themselves as it was not their problem and were least interested in solving it. Tears started to fell from her cheeks and she said while shivered

Christina-("I had blind faith in you and you lied to me")

Valor-(" I never said that I was a human but it was also true I hid the truth about me being a skeleton")

Christina-("Why did you hid the truth did you think I was not worthy of your truth, did all your word about protecting me was empty, All my life people only used me for my position but I thought Valor you would be different')

Valor -("I lied because I was afraid to lose you, I was afraid you would also kill me and any more than that I was afraid you would hate me")

Christina refusing to hear my reasons rushed towards a room with an open door and I chased after her

Clara(" AH DON'T GO THERE THAT'S THE BOSS ROOM")

I heard Clara scream but it was already too late as the door shut close after my entry and Christian was caught by a six-handed, two-headed 5-meter monster. I used appraisal on it

Name-???

Race- Wight king

Grade- D- lvl- 40/50

HP - 370/370 MP-250/250 Intelligence - 196

Attack- 149 Defence - 200 Speed-80

Skills- Hexa sword slash(D), Poision breath(C), Icebreath(C) Bodyslam(F), Chain strike(B)

Info-( It is a twin-headed undead which can breathe poison from one breathe and ice from another. A fire archmage is required to defeat it

So a fire archmage can defeat it, so it is weak against fire but due to my shitty luck, I don't have any fire attacks. the wraith was going to eat Christina so whatever I do I had to do it fast. Everything would be meaningless if Christina were to die

Valor-("LEAVE HER ALONE YOU MONSTER")

I charged at the monster while saying that one of his head used ice breath to freeze me but I accelerated using sprint and dodged that the floor of the room was frozen I had difficulty in maintaining my balance but I couldn't afford to slow down, the second head breathed fire towards me I activated Blade aura with Al my stats double my speed also increased twin fold making an arc while sliding through the icy floor I evaded the poison gas and cut through one of his arms, After passing it I used the support of the wall to flip and cut his second arm. I jumped towards his back, he tried to protect his vulnerable neck but I took the eyes of one of his heads instead continuing the momentum I slashed the poison breathing head as he gave me a wide blind area to strike as I had already blinded him then I cut one of his legs causing him to fall and leaving Christina on the ground. I raised my sword in midair by jumping but what I didn't notice that my MP has run out and my buffs were undone even the 10 additional MP effect was not enough to defeat it.

oh shit, look like I am dead meat now. The Wight king showed a kinky smile and prepared to use ice breath to freeze me to death. I was sure that Christian would surely able to kill him but there was no hope for me .no matter how fast I am I can not dodge the breath being this close to him even more so being in mid-air. The moments before my his firing of breath were very slow my whole life flashed before me. I was glad that I was able to save Christina and maybe she would have forgiven me after some time but honestly I wanted to live and enjoy my life with her, I still didn't have answers to my questions, I was still not able to take my revenge against the Linval kingdom and I still wanted to do many things but I was going to die as I lacked the strength to protect what's dear to me.

"Do you desire strength "

An unknown voice filled my mind I replied by a yes.

" Will you pay the price"

what price?

"To make the world an enemy if they stand in your way"

I will make an enemy out of the world if people close to me are threatened.

" Then I the goddess of Calamity bestow you the skill "Phoenix drive(A)"

The time returned to its original pace

Valor- (" O who is eternal, To incinerate my foolish enemies .Grant me your flames "Pheonix Drive"")

I whole body got covered in flames and wings of fire grew from my back The sword covered in flames prevented me from freezing and When I thrust the burning sword in the Wight king's mouth. For a brief moment I saw fear in his eyes and before he could even blink his whole body was reduced to ashes. The fire covering me stopped and I collapse and my vision was turning blurred when I heard the message

[ Valor lvl up 12 to 25]

{Unique evolution to Apocalypse sub lord is available will you like to evole}

Valor- ("Yes")

That was the last word I said after losing my conscience.
