Alksov then smirked evilly he sent out a punch towards Mark. That punch, for Mark, was unexpectedly strong, causing Mark to get thrown towards the ground. With a groan, Mark's body was then filled with bruises and wounds, he then spat out blood as if he felt that there was a hole in his gut.
Mark then looked upwards towards the so-called ghoul, Alksov, and saw that Alksov was holding something in his hand. It was Mark's stomach. Because of that, Mark's pain felt even more severe as he vomited more blood. Alksov then laughed as he licked Mark's organ, "Hmm, your blood tastes like honey, well then time to EAT! KEKEKE!"
Alksov then launched himself towards Mark who can barely move and bared his fangs as his eyes were filled with killing intent. Forcing himself to move, Mark's eyes then glowed purple as he suddenly disappeared from his spot. This caused Alksov to be surprised.
Alksov just smiled as he turned his head around as if he knows where Mark is and actually found Mark who was lying on the ground. Mark then mumbled, "Fuck, this guy is strong", as he forced himself to stand up causing blood to spew out from the hole on his gut.
Alksov then smiled as he said, "Nice, nice! at least you can escape, as expected of the threat that I have to kill", Mark just stared at Alksov with a solemn expression as Alksov ran towards Mark at a lightning-fast speed. This shocked Mark to the core, if he was unable to evade this, he will die.
Mark's eyes then glowed with the color of bluish-purple as he dodged the attack. The previous smile on Alksov suddenly froze as it turned into a frown. Alksov then said to Mark, "I am Alksov, what is your name?"
Mark then looked at Alksov confused, but he still answered, "My name is Mark Creed, why do you ask", Alksov then placed his finger on his chin whilst pondering and said, "I see, well then, I will remember that name. what kind of magic are you using? it's neither space magic nor speed magic, but something completely different."
Mark just looked at him and immediately answered, "I don't know what is, but I have a gut feeling, wait, there's a fucking hole in my gut, I got a feeling that I should use it to escape", Mark then seemingly satisfied with his joke felt pain jolt from his gut, 'Well that joke was stupid.'
Alksov then looked at Mark with a slightly depressed expression as he sighed, "Is that so? then if you don't know, I might as well get serious in killing you", Alksov's shadow then suddenly disappeared, no, it didn't disappear., but in fact, it grew out from the ground unto Alksov's body. As it attached to Alksov, it grew out a lot of tentacle-like shadows that looked extremely sharp.
Lance then looked at the shadows with shock as he said, "Mark! watch out! those tentacle-like things can make you wither, don't touch it or you'll really die!", Mark then gritted his teeth as he heard Lance's warning. He then suddenly disappeared from his previous spot.
Alksov wasn't aware of this, because whilst transforming, he will have no awareness of his surroundings. As he opened his eyes, he had already sent out his tentacles, but then was confused because he didn't feel that he stabbed Mark. He then looked in front of him and noticed Mark was gone. He then turned around and immediately located Mark. He was beside Charlotte.
Mark then gritted his teeth and command3ed Charl with a loud voice, "CHARL! HEAL NOW!", Charlotte didn't even nod nor made a sound as she injected Mark with some glowing liquid. Right at that moment, Alksov already sent out his tentacles, but before it could read Mark and Charlotte, they already disappeared from their spot.
Alksov then angrily snorted, "FUCK YOU!", then located Mark again. Charl still wasn't finished in healing Mark because Mark's injury wasn't just simple bruises and wounds or even fractured bones, no, one of his internal organs were missing and he had a big hole on his stomach, it was considered a miracle because he can talk and can even move.
Alksov then angrily shouted, "JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY", he then pointed at Mark and the shadow tentacles then followed where Alksov pointed which was in the direction of Mark. Mark's eyes then glowed bluish-purple and disappeared. As if Alksov already guessed where Mark was gonna be, He gazed towards his left side and pointed towards it.
Just by that moment, Mark appeared and he was shocked because Alks0oov already knew where he was gonna go. Good thing is that Charlotte already finished healing him. Mark then held Charlotte with one hand as he said, "Charl, sorry", as he threw her body and he flipped his body in a complete revolution dodging the tentacles.
Charl who was thrown away was shocked, her body was in mid-air and she was twisting and turning, revolving like the ball that a pitcher threw. On the other hand, Irina ran to where Charlotte was going and chanted, "Straenteus Nicreiasae", and caught Charlotte with her two hands and she lightly smiled. Charlotte then smiled bitterly as she knew Irina's real strength.
Mark then angrily looked towards Alksov and earn towards him and with a hint of violet in his eyes, he sent out a punch. Alksov was shocked seeing that punch, he looked as if he knew the power level of that punch and stepped backward whilst his left foot was still at the same place.
Alksov then gathered all his tentacles on his right hand and lightly gritted his teeth as he shouted, "Bliocad Sradost Wieth", and he then intercepted Mark's punch with his own tentacle packed punch. The two punches collided and sparks were generated. But it wasn't your typical spark, the spark's color was black and violet and the moment it touched the ground, the grounded burned and melted.
This scene made all the spectators looking awe of the two fighting each other, 'Too strong! they're too strong!'. Both of them were knocked back so far away from each other which clearly showed how strong the forces of their punch were. But then, Alksov laughed, "HAHAHA, you're an idiot you know, didn't your buddy already warn you! if you touch the tentacles you will start to wither, and there is no cure for it! HAHAHA!"
Mark gritted his teeth as the skin on his hand started to peel off, "Kurgh!", Mark groaned in pain as he kneeled his right leg. Alksov then continued to laugh as he said, "Take warnings and listen to it carefully, young man, this is the result of being too rash."
Alksov then stopped laughing as he clenched his fists, "Now then. I guess it's time to end this. But still, I didn't expect that your soul has a barrier on it, If people with no soul barrier touched my tentacles, they'll immediately die I a couple of seconds despite their power levels just because y tentacles doesn't wither physical bodies, it withers the soul!"
"That means If you touch my tentacles, you will have no chance of reincarnation, this is the blessing that the great almighty Goddess of Death gave me!", Alksov continued to laugh as Mark gritted his teeth, but then he heard the term, Godde3ss of Death, he suddenly felt lightheaded and some scenes suddenly came to him and he felt as if it was him on it.
Mark then tried to stand up, but the pain he felt was too strong and he couldn't even lift a finger. Alksov then laughed at Just then, the voice of a girl sounded out from the skies saying one word that made everyone's face turn pale despite of race. They felt as if this word was something that everyone feared, They couldn't understand it, but they knew that they should've never heard it.
