The Fury Of The Worthless (2)

"UGH!!!"

Oscar flew to the wall of the wall nearby. With the power of the impact, the wall was broke down to pieces.

Oscar was lying on the remains of the wall and the roof of the hangar. There were several cuts and bruises on his body. After Joseph come out of his last attack he was stronger than before. His bone armor was giving him more power, thought Oscar.

"You know, I was surprised when Kulligar said to me that you were possibly the strongest human of this era. But looking at you now, I think that's in the past."

Oscar was surprised by the sudden unknown name. If what Joseph said is to be believed, this Kulligar knows him and his powers. Is it the spirit who gave its powers, thought Oscar. But he couldn't react outwardly. His body was severely damaged and it hurts even while when he just lying down.

Joseph lift his right hand and a single spike of bone appeared before it. Joseph grinned and aimed it at Oscar's heart.

"You will die here, just like all those workers. Just like them, your death will mean nothing. You will be worthless, just like previous me."

Worth...less, thought Oscar. He opened his mouth and with a barely audible voice, he talked.

"I...am...not...like...you. I am the first mage!"

Suddenly almost all of the rubble inside the room rushed at Joseph. It didn't even take a second for his body to get covered with them.

"Again with this annoying trick!"

Spikes of bones grew from his armor and shattered rubbles to the pieces. But when he sets himself free he saw five spears made from water flying to him. Joseph calmly raised his hand to cancel Oscar's magic but he was unsuccessful.

All of the spears merged and turn into one which is extremely condensed. It directly pierced Joseph's left shoulder.

"AGHHH!!"

Joseph screamed with pain and stumbled while retreating and fell on his butt. He didn't expect this outcome. He was sure that he could easily kill Oscar with his powers. But this attack, he couldn't cancel it.

"It took me for a while to understand it."

"Huh?"

Oscar slowly rose from where he was lying. He used all of the mana he left to heal his body. He smiled toward the surprised Joseph.

"I figured it out. Your power, I mean. Its nullification."

"!!"

"Bone magic confused me but you are overly relying on the ability to cancel, no nullifying my magic made it obvious."

"N-no... but I couldn't nullify your last magic..."

"It wasn't magic. It was my spit!"

"Huh?!"

When Joseph was scared and confused Oscar created more spears of water and threw them to Joseph, hoping to end him right at that moment.

Joseph's right fist glowed with yellow energy and he punched the ground before spears could arrive at him. The punch caused a huge explosion and both Joseph and Oscar launched away because of it.

"*cough*cough* And he says that my attack was annoying. Police and firefighters must be on their way here. Have to finish this fast."

Oscar get up from the ground and looked towards the rubbles of the hangar. His eyes were glowing golden. He could see the place where Joseph fell. It was just a few meters behind the hangar.

Oscar took a deep breath and get up. Slowly walked towards Joseph. Even though he healed himself earlier it wasn't enough to completely recover. There are still some wounds bleeding.

"With the power of the spirit, even you become a serious threat. Life is unfair. I am going to kill you, maybe you could reach atonement at the other side."

When he gets closed to Joseph he could see him slowly getting up. Oscar sighed and create another water spear with the power of his spirit eyes. The spear pierced Joseph's right flank.

"AGH!!"

Joseph once again screamed in pain. Falling on his knees. Oscar smiled after seeing it. He created another spear and aimed it at Joseph's left leg. But before Oscar could fire his spear Joseph rushed at him.

Because of the unexpected charge Oscar was caught unguarded and punched on the chest by a bone gauntlet. Oscar flew several meters and fell into the middle of the corpses.

"Tell me, Williams. Why are you still fighting? Just give up and die."

"To make you pay for what you have done!"

"To make me pay? You are no hero! Not even an innocent person!"

Oscar gritted his teeth and looked Joseph in the eye. "It doesn't matter who I am! Killing people is wrong and doing it with the power of spirit is unacceptable!" Oscar yelled at Joseph. Feeling guilty about wanting to kill him a second ago.

"You are naive." Joseph lift his hand and created a water spear five times greater than Oscar's. Spear drew an arc in the air and flew towards Oscar.

"Shit!"

Aiken woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. He didn't know why but his body was incredibly tense. He took a deep breath and get up from the bed.

"Piri-piriiii"

When he was about to get out of the room he heard a bird's voice. It wasn't a normal bird but the magical bird he found a few weeks ago. He looked at the bird and saw its eyes glowing green.

"What is it, little guy?"

"Piri-piriiii"

Aiken tilt his head and looked at the bird curiously. The bird pointed to the window with its beak. Aiken didn't understand what is going on but he opened the window anyway. He knew that it was a supernatural animal so he believed in it.

"What the heck?!?!"

It was far away from his house but he could see the docks were on fire. And by the reaction of his bird, it must be something supernatural. Aiken quickly wore his jacket and gets out of his house.

It might be dangerous but he had to see it. The magic and the supernatural. Magic was the only option he left.

While he was running a slight green glow covered his body. After it disappeared he gained tremendous speed. With the boost, he gained from the bird it didn't take long to arrive at the docks.

It was like a scene from the hell. Everywhere was burning and a lot of disfigured corpse was lying around. Aiken felt that his stomach couldn't take this and he fell on his knees and vomit to the ground.

"What the fricking hell happened here?!"

It was something only a devil could do. In the middle of this horrible scene stood two boys. One was covered with armor made out of gray bones. The other one was a brown-haired boy. His body was covered with wounds.

"Oscar..."

At that moment he saw something horrifying. A large spear made of water pierced through his chest. Aiken held his breath with fear.

Oscar took a step back staggered. There was a lot of blood coming out of his wound. Oscar fell on his knees. After a few minutes, Oscar's vision went black and he lost consciousness.

Aiken watched as Oscar fell to the ground and lie there without moving. Just like a corpse. "No, Oscar... he died..." said Aiken still shocked by the sudden turn of the events. He felt fear like he had never before.
