Victor vs Riven:One sided slope

CHAPTER 31

POV Victor:

"Hmph, pulling my arm to get two of us to fall? Genius, but next time you do that make sure your opponent is weaker than yourself so he stays dead" Riven stood up.

Hello, Victor Edeosa" He smirked.

"It's Edosa," I said

"Really? I'm sure I read your name correctly"

"Yes it's spelled "Edeosa" but I like prefer people saying "Edosa" because the latter is a girl's name"

"Hahaha, you were given a girl's last name? Hahaha... you should be grateful to even have one you know" Riven grinned

Why is he still smiling like that? He fell 7 floors down without damage and is smiling on top of it, I'd better be careful, I'll have to use my foresight to be to see his future moves and use bloodlust to be able to counter, that should be enough.

"You forgot to add, 'Will I be strong enough to counter?' " Riven appeared behind me

"Crap! when did you-- Arghh!"

Riven kicked me lightly but it felt absolutely painful and had so much Impact that I flew about 20 meters away and crashed into the side of a jeep.

"...Arghh! My back!"

I can't risk this guy getting another shot in, I have to put him in a time containment again.

I stretched out my hand to cast one as fast as possible but...

"Heh, you're slow aren't you, Victor Edosa?"

"How did you get--gah!!

He kicked me into the jeep so hard that I came out the other end, and I felt my spine break.

I flew into the headlights of another jeep.

"Arghh" my fucking back!! It hurts!... It hurts... *Cough* I can't rest now, this guy's gonna murder me.

He ran at me with a speed I couldn't perceive, I could barely see him,

He tried to land a horizontal kick on me but I was on lucky to have dodged it by backflipping onto the top of the vehicle to avoid taking that disastrous damage to my ribs.

The jeep was pushed back about 50 meters away by the force of his kick...If I were still laying there, would I have survived that?

I'm getting dizzy, I've lost a lot of blood, and My body hurts so bad that I can barely stand, Air rapidly filled my lungs but they were painful, every breath felt like my ribs were about to come off.

What's with this guy anyway, the only one that I know to perform such feats is Briggs, he must be someone blessed by a strong grace.

"Victor... that thought in your head about me is incorrect, " He said.

"Y-*Cough-cough* You can read minds?"

I asked.

"Something like that, you seem to have the wrong idea of what I am, " He grinned.

"Which is?"

"I'm not human"

I didn't...I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Then what are you?" I asked slightly terrified.

"Haha, You don't have to be so scared, the sweat dripping down your face makes it look like you already know what I am, "He said.

"Then what are you then!"

"I'm... known by many names, In Japan, I'm called a shinigami, in the Bible, I'm known as the Angel of death, and in other mythologies as the God of death, but to you, I want to be known as...the Grim Reaper, " He said.

What the hell is he talking about?!

"Don't believe me? Well, it would be hard for anyone to believe they're fighting the grim reaper, but I'm not visible to anyone apart from you, your other half Anna and that geezer."

He's not visible?

"Other than a few times when I put on a human suit, I'm not visible to humans, when I came to your door multiple times It was always in my "Astral form" but you could still see me, that's what gave you away, Edeosa"

"I don't buy that, I'm trapping you and leaving here with Anna"

God, I hope I can.

"Ah yes, Anna, your former girlfriend turned agent"

*Cough-Cough* " I keep telling you she's not my girlfriend!"

"Believe what your elder tells you, Victor, it'll help, but I guess you wouldn't remember since she wiped your memories, "Riven said.

My memories?

"Yes Victor Edeosa, haven't you ever wondered why you possessed grace? How you got it despite not going through half of what those kids in there went through? It's because the cause of your soul nearly collapsing, the reason you were given grace, and the reason your parents died...is all Anna's fault"

I was stunned by what he said, Anna? Why? It doesn't make sense, he must be lying.

"N-no way, your lying! YOUR LYING!"

"Now what reason does the Grim Reaper have to lie to a mortal? Gain? To watch your breakdown? To see the sorrow in your eyes? I'll admit two out of three of those are correct, "Riven smirked

"N-no, no, no, I'll never believe that!"

"More like you don't want to believe it

In this world, there's nothing more bitter than the truth, as they say: 'It's better to be slapped by the truth than to be kissed by a lie' that statement holds up far more than I expected it to, mortals are wise."Riven.

"I'll shut you up so I'll never have to hear your filthy lies again! MASSIVE TIME LAG!"

Tch... My eyes, I wasn't ready for this yet, this type of time lag takes more out of me and lasts two minutes but it also makes everything much slower than a regular time lag so I guess it'll be good.

I'm running towards the hotel but every step I take hurts me in more ways than one.

What if riven was telling the truth, then what? Do I kill Anna?

Why do I feel more concerned for her than myself?

The closer I get to the building the more my heart is sinking.

"Don't worry about it you'll soon find out soon enough" Riven

"What?!" I heard Riven's voice.

Riven backhanded me Into the debris from earlier.

I hit my back on some sharp rocks.

"Arghh!"

It hurt like hell, I felt like crying, No I was crying, This guy is too powerful, what am I supposed to do here?!
