Ben is Dead

"Superfast Charger!" Jajah dashed forward, screaming her so-called forbidden skill aloud. Her speed was much faster than before too. Her eyes were emitting the determination to reach her target and give him the best punch.

''What a lousy skill name,'' Ben responded with an arrogant grin. He sent two of his bone ribs this time to greet the incoming Jajah. Then he went on, ''Keep dreaming. You won't reach me no matter what you do.''

The two bone ribs hit Jajah easily as she was yet again had been blown away. That was her Forbidden skill? How pathetic. Ben couldn't help but shake his head slowly as if he couldn't believe it at all.

''Enough playing around, you two!'' Jax couldn't stand watching them any longer. Seeing that Jajah was completely on the losing side, he decided to interfere and stop them.

Knowing Jajah full well, she would definitely not stop unless she defeated her opponent.

''Oh! Leader, you're here! Have you seen me beating Jajah one-sidedly this time?'' Ben greeted the moment he saw Jax. His arrogant words and smug face greeted Jax all the more. But since their Leader said it, he would naturally comply and heed his order with a wide smile on his face.

With that in mind, he shifted his gaze at Jajah and said, ''Alright, Jajah. That's all for today. Better luck next time.''

But his words were more like a provocation. His tone was as if mocking the other party on how much of a loser she had become this time.

After Ben said those words. He retrieved the bone weapons that were floating around him. It went back into his body, disappearing into him.

Then he walked in the direction of Jax with a wide smile still overwhelming his face.

''Wait! I'm not done yet. I'm still not using my everything!''

But Jajah's desperate voice later echoed. Ben knew that the other wouldn't comply right away. If he provoked her even a little, she would continue her desperate aggression, leaving him no choice but to fight back.

And that was something he was aiming for. Their Leader wouldn't be able to blame him if he ever didn't heed his command, since Jajah was like that.

''That's enough, Jajah. Ben, stop provoking her.'' Jax responded. He knew full well what was running in Ben's mind.

''Haha, I didn't,'' Ben replied with a wry smile. As expected, their Leader already knew what he was planning. He continued walking in his direction and decided not to provoke Jajah any longer.

Since he won this time, that was already a good enough reason to stop fighting her.

But Jajah still didn't want to comply. She didn't want to accept her defeat. She crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and finally stood back up.

''I told you, we're not done yet.'' Jajah's indignant voice then soon echoed. She got into a stance, ready to throw the handful of soil in Ben and Jax's direction.

She didn't care anymore even if Jax, their Leader, was there and would be implicated in the attack. All she cared about at that moment was revenge.

And since he was their Leader, he would have some means to survive this attack, right?

''What are you trying to do?'' Ben asked as he shifted his gaze at Jajah. He couldn't help but reveal a grin as he sneered coldly, ''Don't tell me, since you can't reach me, you'll just throw me some rocks?'' He started laughing before he went on, ''Hahaha, don't make me laugh. You're not a sharpshooter like me. You cannot hit me, little girl.''

''Hmph! Say that after you evade this!'' Jajah responded. Suddenly, a wide smile surfaced on her lips as she finally threw the handful of soil in his hand. ''Eat this, you bastards!!!''

One question marks floated over Ben's head. Did she just curse their Leader too?

No, that wasn't really the point here. Jajah really threw the rock at him. But she threw it up above the sky, making Ben wonder if Jajah had finally gone nuts.

''Haha, what are you doing, Jajah? Have you finally lost your mind?'' Ben couldn't help but laugh at it. Even if the other party really wanted to hit him with a stone, she should have aimed directly at him. Who was he trying to hit in the sky, anyway?

On the other hand, Jax raised his head and followed his gaze at the soil thrown by Jajah. He narrowed his eyes as he felt something was amiss. He didn't know why, but his gut feeling was telling him to run away now before it became too late.

''Enlarge!''

But his worry soon finally bared its fang. At the same time as that voice rang out, the small piece of soil above, up there in the sky, suddenly became a giant piece of rock. It was to the point that he almost mistook it for a meteor.

But as if that wasn't enough, Jajah made another move.

''Weigh up!''

The moment she finished her words, the giant rock had as if became ridiculously heavy as it fell down at an insane speed. With this, Jajah was more than sure that she would be able to hit her target.

''What the fuck...'' Ben's eyes almost bulged out as he found his body frozen in fear. Still, he had the strength to raise his finger as he pointed it furiously at the giant rock falling furiously down on them. ''This is cheating, you bastard!''

''Leader! Help me stop this thing or else we will surely... die?'' Ben was just about to finish his words when he found out that their Leader, who was supposed to be by his side, was not there anymore. He went completely missing, as if he didn't exist in the first place.

Only then did he realize that their Leader had already abandoned him without warning.

What a traitorous bastard! What could he even expect from him by the way?

''You've forced me to use this,'' Left without a choice, Ben decided to unleash his Forbidden skill too. He was confident that with this skill, he would be able to cut that giant thing in half and survive this danger.

With that in mind, Ben finally put on a stance and...

THUD!!!

Sadly, Ben reacted late. He only got into a stance for a moment, but he didn't even have the chance to use his skill anymore.

The giant soil fell over his pitiful dead body. A terrifying loud thud echoed across the entire forest, scaring away all the birds and animals nearby.

''Gulp...'' Jax, who had seen it right before his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If he reacted even a second late, then he was more than certain that he would be buried down there together with Ben.

Thankfully, his Agility stat was SS grade. It was easy for him to run away and escape danger.

But wait.

Wasn't Ben got buried for good just now? Did he just die? No, this couldn't be, right?

''What the hell have you done, Jajah?! Remove this thing real quick!'' Jax failed to restrain his anger as he scolded Jajah right away.

Jajah responded in panic, her expression went exceedingly pale. She was supposed to celebrate her victory, but she didn't expect the other party to be so weak and fragile. How could he die just like that?!

Jajah didn't reply and made excuses. She admitted her wrongs and immediately obeyed Jax.

''Constrict!'' Jajah said as she raised her hand and pointed it at the giant mess she created. The giant soil immediately went smaller in size and returned to its original size.

At the same time, Jajah also restored its weight.

Right now, they could see Ben down there, lying with his belly as his body entered the ground.

He was unmoving, a sign that he was now dead.

Jax and Jajah walked closer to him. They both inspected his body for a good while, but only one thing came into their mind.

They didn't want to believe it but by the looks of it...

''Ben really died,'' Jax and Jajah muttered, and both their expressions went completely pale.
