Mark, at this moment, was suffering heavily from the onslaught of hundreds of these copies, and what makes things even worse was that every kill he made brought him deeper into his frenzy as he was starting to feel numb towards his mixed feelings towards her.
love?
hate?
indifference?
he wasn't sure anymore...
As it was becoming difficult NOT to be paranoid towards anyone that looked like her...
how much more if he came across the real thing?
every attack that he had received from these copies had left a scar on his mind something that will make it difficult to cope with should he find the real one and escape.
While the person that destroyed a part of the wall helped reduced the pressure he was under as he made quick work of the downed copies before looking towards the direction of the two champions that were duking it out with one another.
As frost scattered about and shadows moved about and 'consumed' or 'froze' anyone that got too close, but as he was distracted a roar echoed out and when he turned to see who it was, Ruk'gar was here to complete his vow before he loses his chance and weakens himself.
The horned orc was charging towards him like a mad bull as his flesh was still healing the frostbitten spots on his body, it made Ruk'gar slower than before thus seeing that this was a perfect opportunity Mark took it upon himself to End their grudges right here and now!
Mark stood his ground and tanked the charge as he didn't want to waste any time, the horns were capable of piercing through his defenses thus leading him to getting the two horns into his gut.
Rukgar's hands clamped on to his feet as he planned on ripping him in half, but Mark's strength slammed into the orc's back causing a few bones to crack, while his tail wrapped around his right arm then slid across the flesh with the spikes on it, shredding away at his flesh and bone as if Ruk'gar's arm was placed within a metal shredder!
Ruk'gar, since his usual killing move failed, delivered a punch toward Mark's family jewels but it was blocked by his target's knee forcing both to separate as the two holes in Mark's abdomen healed up fast while The orc ripped his arm off upon sensing the subtle changes it was going through!
Mark clicked his tongue as his plan failed but at least he had more breathing room now but his left knee was busted from the punch, so he dropped to all fours with his left knee slightly raised to give it a chance to heal, then dashed forward was his tail acted as support for his left leg, Ruk'gar still affected by the frost that was within his system was barely able to dodge as he rolled to the side a bit late as the bloody spurs on Mark's back tore away some of his flesh.
Mark was about to attack again only for someone to be sent flying at him, his defenses failed to withstand the impact so he was forced to act as a cushion for the newcomer as he passed out.
Ruk'gar who was also within the range was sent flying into the large walls as his body sunk more than halfway deep with his fate to be forgotten... for now.
The individual that landed on Mark Released a mad cackle before climbing out of the crater covered in some dirt yet uninjured!
It was a monster that looked just like Mark, just that it had a lighter color to it and lacked the bloody spurs before its masculine voice boomed out.
"QUITE AN ARM YOU GOT THERE LADY, IT'LL BE A PITY TO RIP IT OFF LATER!!!"
An Amazonian looking woman with frayed clothes wielding a greatsword on the wall made her battle cry before swinging her sword down leaving a long straight crevice along the ground as the monster blocked the attack with both arms crossed while laughing!
The sound of metal being scratched reverberated as the vibrations from it shook everything causing all of those that weren't their tier to cough up blood and pass out leaving only the monster that blocked the attack, Alicia, other S-ranked people, and champions to stay standing or barely awake.
But Alicia wasn't done as she swung her sword even harder this time creating a wind blade before sending out more towards the monster that harmed a girl that she considered as her own daughter!
Her hair floated upward as the word fury wouldn't even begin to describe what she was feeling right now as Remishia was barely alive, with a broken limb, bruised neck, with her new tail missing the flesh from it.
So yeah she was beyond pissed!
Eversince she lost her child, Alicia became EXTREMELY protective of any girls that she considered as her own, now a monster had touched her reverse scale, and more.
Each swing she delivered 'reconstructed' the area that was around what she targeted which also harmed Mark as his body was sent flying away as the individual that was supposed to come to get him had completely forgotten about it thanks to his racial trait of being battle maniacs.
All of his clothes were destroyed letting everyone see his monstrous frame that was still wasn't finished morphing as it was quickly coping to her current level since It certainly didn't want to finish things too quickly.
(For those that don't really get his character, try thinking of him as similar to a certain Zaraki that loves to fight either for the sake of it or just strong people in general~)
Seeing that he was still standing after all that Alicia was preparing another onslaught of slashes before something hit her in the abdomen before she was sent flying to the sky as something had cracked from whatever had hit her.
The culprit was someone that she should've expected to attack at such a moment...
Damien Thatch.
This was the best time for his skill to be used as it would be at its strongest when more people died within his range.
His skill that was known by the public was called 'Soul Armament' by using the souls of either the willing or the dead he can stack their physical prowess upon himself while there was more to it, This man never explained his skill properly to anyone making the known information about it being hearsay.
But the monster didn't care for any of his actions as it was having fun, after so long thus it switched its target to him hoping to have a good time only for the prick to suddenly disappear by the time his fist was mere inches away from his face!
The nearby building that was some distance away as The monster's fist was pointed at it was obliterated along with more buildings aligned with it by the gust of wind from the fist.
It clicked its tongue in annoyance as more than anything he absolutely hated slippery bastards that run away when things get good, the monster lord puffed out some steam from its nose from how annoyed it was before it finally remembered something important...
It was supposed to bring its kind back to the tribe but seeing the damage... he started sweating heavily as to what's to come.
Welp he's fucked later by the tribe leader as it was more than 7 times stronger than it and what makes things even worse was the very 'bone fiend' he was sent to escort happened to be the child of the leader.
Thus it made a simple decision...
'It was never here!' Despite the glaring evidence that it had left behind, it made a run for it!
Meanwhile, a certain tailless bone fiend, gravely injured as a trail of blood followed her destination, was making her way to Mark as she still felt the connection they had, the near-death experience was terrifying for a girl who was nearly ruined by something that looked like Mark.
She wanted to be held close as his 'tender' embrace made her feel safe at the time, so she wanted to feel that again!
It didn't take long to find who she was looking for as the man was barely breathing right now but still alive, she was worried about his current condition but happy that she had finally found him, Remishia moved as fast she could before finally reaching his side.
then when she tried to caress the side of his face his maw suddenly expanded before turning towards her as the whole world seemed to slow down for her as disbelief and surprise enveloped her mind then everything suddenly went dark with a crunch!
