Chapter 22

[Welcome to the tenth floor the floor of death]

[Mission: Kill Tânato The Personification Of Death]

[Reward: The Premonition]

When I got to the tenth floor, I was a little lost, there was nothing there and it seems that there never was, it seemed that that place was there from the beginning, but also that it had been created afterwards, or rather, that place did not have an exact time, it seemed that he was always there, is there and always will be, it was as if that place was eternal.

As I looked around with Iron and saw that there really was nothing there, I saw a huge, completely dark door.

I told Iron to stay outside and I went in, when I went in there, he was completely black, he looked like he had no face and he didn't speak, and with that huge scythe, he seemed to be waiting to do his job of taking people in his hours.

And when I was going to attack him, Lucifer told me it wouldn't work.

He said that even if I attacked using Hades' sword, I probably wouldn't be able to kill him.

So I asked him how and he said in a serious tone "from what I heard, the only way to kill death by using your own weapon on it."

So I asked him "ok and how am I going to get the gun of death, since I can't even touch it?"

And Lucifer replies "well, that's not entirely true. Did you forget that you can now use divine power? "

"Now you can touch death using this, even for a short period of time."

I doubtfully asked, "Okay, but how long will divine power last exactly?"

Lucifer with a certain uncertainty says "well I don't know exactly, but it's about 20 seconds."

"In those 20 seconds you would have to find a way to take the scythe, and it can not be hit by him using the scythe."

"Remember, you are immune to his touch, but the scythe is sure to lean against you, and certain death"

I, with a certain fear, say "Okay, but do you have any way to kill letting go faster? So that I can dodge his attacks. "

Lucifer thinks for a while and replies "well I think that with the upgrade that you had in your body now being a half deity, you should be able to withstand about 40% of my current power. And that should be more than enough for you to dodge and fight back from his attacks. "

When Lucifer lent me some of his power, it felt like I was lighter, stronger, faster and for some reason it felt like I had years of experience in battle, I think the last one he gave me to make sure I didn't would die.

After some time I finally got used to Lucifer's power, so I decided to make a direct attack, since even if I did a surprise attack it would still be the same.

When I went over to Tânato, he didn't even move at first, it seemed like he knew exactly how I was going to attack, and what to do to avoid and quickly attack.

When it looked like I was about to hit him, he easily dodged and slowly moved his scythe in the correct direction my neck would pass.

Lucky for me I had Lucifer's powers, so as he was moving so slowly, I was able to easily dodge his scythe.

But what caught my attention the most, was the way he had avoided and attacked my attack, it seemed that he could see the future or simply the difference in skill was so great that he didn't even have to try.

But even with this flawed attack I did not give up, I went after him again so that this time I touched a fireball towards him before attacking him directly, in order to try to create a breach.

But just by moving the scythe towards the flames they simply exploded, and when I went to attack it it looked like he was already waiting, he had his scythe pointed in the right direction between the flames in which I would appear to make my attack .

That was dangerous, but I used a fireball to make him dodge, and I managed to narrowly escape.

I asked Lucifer and he said the same thing I was already thinking, it seems that this being has beyond the power of death, the power to know exactly what will happen in the future.

And against someone like that, there is only one way to have a 100% chance of victory, which is being completely superior to the person in question, in all aspects, so that even if they know the future, there is no time to avoid or even avoid attacks.

Knowing this, I asked Lucifer how many% of his power it would take to be absolutely sure of victory against that, and he said that something around 80%, but also said that it would end my body, and that even with the power it would take him hours to completely heal all wounds, and how seriously he would have to fight to end the fight as soon as possible, so that my body would suffer the least amount of damage.

After deciding what we would do Lucifer preparesI ran to attack, and for the first time that being that was in almost any type of attack, almost basically immobile, was preparing to defend this attack.

Lucifer took the daggers and went after him with everything, when Lucifer had approached him he moved to try to dodge, but Lucifer was moving too fast, it seemed that Thanatos was much slower than he already was.

Lucifer now close to him, and seeing that he would not be able to dodge, he cut off both of his hands which soon regenerated, and took the scythe with a blow that cut his head off.

[Enter the portal and you will be sent out of the tower]

Before I left I mentally called Iron and asked 'Can you stay small whenever you want?'

And Iron replied 'Yes. But why would I need it? '

I think a little and I say 'Good and people may think you're different and start looking at you weird'

I said that to Iron because I didn't want to tell him the truth, I didn't want to tell him that if people knew what he was they would either hunt him out of fear or greed.

After our conversation the two of us left the portal, and I realized that time was just running inside the tower, outside the tower time stood still the whole time I was inside.

Before I can even think about it I get a message from Mina telling me to hurry up.

When I was close to Mina's house my body started to hurt and Lucifer said "this must be the consequences of having used all that power on a weak body, and also his body is finally changing, to that of a demigod"

I thought it was seriously possible to endure the pain and continue until when I was about to knock on Mina's door, I just fell.

I wasn't passed out or anything, quite the contrary, I was perfectly awake feeling all that pain looking like torture.

Seeing that my body wouldn't move anytime soon, I told Iron to knock on the door in my place, and when Mina finally opened the door she saw me lying on the floor looking like she was in agony, she started shouting my name asking me if I was fine, and when I didn't answer she took me inside and laid me on her bed.

She would call a doctor but I told Iron to stop her, since it was only my body that was in that state, I went with my mental awareness to the place where Lucifer is inside my body, since it was not there being affected by the change in my body structure.

Mina wondered what the monster was, until 1 hour passed and the situation only got worse.

[Take the egg from the inventory]

[The dragon egg will hatch in 1 minute]

If Mina was already scared by a griffin, imagine when to shock a dragon in the middle of her room.

I was forced to take the dragon egg out of the inventory and decided to explain to Mina later what was going on.

[3… 2… 1]

[Would you like to form a bond with the dragon? If yes, say a name]

[Then your name will be: Draco]

[Now you can communicate with him mentally]

After seeing the dragon for the first time I could see the differences and similarities between him and the Colquida dragon.

He has several thorns around his body, but unlike Colquida's dragon he had his whole body covered with black scales, it seemed that unlike Colquida's dragon he wouldn't have the weakness that his exposed belly would be, and another difference is that he didn't he has the arms with the enormous claws that the dragon of Colquida had, which could also be considered a weakness, since that was partly what killed him.

After the dragon hatched, it automatically wrapped itself around my body lying on the bed, and Mina was even more lost.

While I laughed at what Mina was doing outside trying to get the dragon away from me Lucifer said ...
