Chapter 51 - Incomplete Sacrifice

"Eh alright alright, you know I don't go back on my promises…" says Axel nonchalantly, as he rests his head on his two fingers like he usually does…

But when Robert had left the room, he added. "…but I have a better plan than you this time.

You'll thank me later on, for raising your son the way you never could."

...

..

Simultaneously, Levon was getting beaten like a pulp. He no more could keep up with the speed of Tossin's polearm!!

'…FUCKING DOOM!! I never felt this much physical pain in my life!!!!!

Ugghh… I can't move my shoulder at all!! And if it isn't for my shields… I'd certainly…' In the course of this hellacious battle, Levon found a way to strengthen his defense, by shielding the shields themselves!

It was the only possible way to at least block a 2star player attack, but it wasn't that simple! In exchange he sacrifices half of his offensive power, including speed and agility.

Suddenly, Tossin stops launching his attacks and stands meters away in front of him. Not understanding why, Levon is yet again forced to speak out of his way.

"…Why..did you stop?" he asks!

Tossin, for the first time shows a bit of emotion in his face, It was a smile! hard to tell whether it was genuine or not, mischievous or true. It was just a smile!

Then, he replies "That is because, you're not careful anymore."

Though he still doesn't understand nor know what these emotions are, Levon felt absolutely disgusted and humiliated that he bursted out in anger and yelled like a mad man!!

As he did, he removed all defensive shackles to use the strength left in him to attack. It was automatic and instinctive, the moving bullet he acquired manifested itself falling in front of him. In a lightning motion he lets it enter his gun and shoots Tossin immediately!!

All of this took only one second to happen. But!! Another thing that happened in that same time frame, took even less.

Levon feels a liquid gushing down on his cheek… his immeasurable anger numbed his pain for a moment, but upon realizing what's happening in reality. The fire in his eyes was put down the way rain puts down a fire camp.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He screams yet again. This time louder, and for a different reason.

Levon grabs his eye and continues to scream in agony, Tossin's polearm has pierced it so fast he didn't notice!!

"See? I told you… you're not careful anymore. And a careless opponent, is an unworthy one." Toygar says, as he steps closer towards Levon. Whose knees are bent and barely able to keep him standing!!

Tossin. "This bullet you just shot me with, is quite something… if not for my shields blocking it each time it tries to attack me maybe I would've received some damage.

It reminds me of a fly, an annoying fly!"

The bullet was indeed going on circles like a fly would do, it attacks him from everywhere it could. But the latter was blocking it automatically, and though the shield would slightly crack each time it did, the bullet looked weak in comparison!

Suddenly, Tossin makes his polearm disintegrates. Then he punches Levon as hard as he could in his stomach!!!

"AAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!" goes down the young man.

The punch was so strong it gave him trouble breathing, his saliva mixed with blood started drooling out his mouth! And his noisy halting breath and sound made it quite…pathetic.

In the midst of it, Tossin starts going on a little monologue!

"It is nothing personal, Levon Graham. Matter of fact, you're someone I would respect in some other circumstances. Someone like you, who worked his way and earned it. But you have a long way to understand things around you, to know why those guys hate and despise you…

To even understand, the words I am telling you right now."

He stands right next to Levon's prostrating head, and steps on it!!!

"Do you want to understand, Mr. Levon?" he asks, while stepping harder!! The latter's immense pain at this point couldn't even be expressed by screams. He was simply silent!

"I expect an answer, or you'll lose a life here and now." Adds Tossin.

No answer came out, and the strength he applied kept getting higher… but within his mind, it wasn't that silent! Levon kept thinking loudly.

'… Why? Why is this happening to me?

There is nothing…to explain. Nothing, to understand…

Though I wouldn't tell you, but the answer is… Yes, I do want to understand, understand all of it…

I…

Really do.'

And with those last words in his mind, Levon lost consciousness… his health percentage at this moment neared 2%. Which is in fact the percentage in which a player loses consciousness!

Right now, he felt nothing. As good as a dead man! A dead man waiting for his resurrection, but not looking for it. Tossin takes his foot off Levon's head. He leans close and turns his body upside down, exposing his bloody bruised face…

He looks at him for a couple of seconds, then stands up again. the moving bullet that endlessly targets the opponent had lost its effect, and dropped on the ground like a dead fly as well.

Suddenly, a notification message appears on Tossin's watch. Saying:

· Congratulations, you won the duel!

· Experience gained: +5%

· Truth gained: 0%

· Level: 2star (70%)

· Opponent's arsenal: acquired!

The bullet that was dropped on the ground just moments ago, suddenly was transported into Tossin's watch. As for the bronze shield, it didn't. for the simple reason that Toygar possesses a better one, a silver shield! Meaning a lower version is unnecessary.

The fight, has ended! However, the finishing blow wasn't landed yet.

Tossin summons his poleam from the limitless altitudes, then shoots it down straight! Certainly, at the direction of Graham's head.

But!

Tossin stops it before it reaches him. He grabs his weapon and puts it on his back where It originally belongs.

He picks up levon with one hand and puts him on his right shoulder, then the game automatically pulls the two out of Kardia and back to Apertio.

Outside, The 4 other cultivators were all waiting right where they trapped him.

And there they appear finally!

Tossin throws the fainted Levon on the ground… and the evil smiles and laughs immediately escalated.
