Chapter 16 - The Fight for a Powerful Soul

"Let's do this then."

Engrin smirked. He stomped down his foot, and took off towards Deja. Pulling back his arm to hit Deja, but in that instant, Deja vanished. Panicking, Engrin turned around, only to be slammed by a fist, launching him across the arena. Blood spluttered from Engrin's mouth. Panting, he dizzily stood up, only to see a blurry Deja standing inferno too him.

"What just-"

"What did you do with Eshanya?"

Engrin still couldn't believe that he had lost, so he stood back up and took another swing at Deja. Reappearing behind him, Deja slammed his fist into Engrin's back, and the repeated himself.

"What. Did. You. Do. With. Eshanya?"

Engrin spit up some more blood and wiped his mouth.

"As if I would ever tell you!"

Deja shoulders shook. Engrin started to smile, thinking that Deja was crying, only for his heart to drop when laughter started to reverberate around the room. Deja pulled his hand away rom his face, revealing a large grin. Laughing, Deja spoke.

"Of course you wouldn't tell me what happened! How about this," Deja walked over to Engrin, a chilling grin on his face. "You tell me where she is, and you don't die. You see, right now I have quite a bit of pent up frustration, mainly towards you. So tell me what happened, and it'll be like you never pissed me off."

"Like you could kill me. There's no way."

"Oh? Then let me show you something."

'[System], generate the skill {Black Hole Shield}'

[Done]

'Create a mini one in my palm.'

[Okay. Activating skill: {Black Hole Shield}]

Deja flung out his hand, and a mini black hole appeared in his hand. He picked up a stone, and dropped it into his palm. As soon as it hit the radius of the shield, it vaporized. Engrin gulped.

"One more time," Deja canceled the skill and grabbed Engrin's hair. "Where is she?"

Engrin looked terrified.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you. She's tied up in the room 1-B."

"See, that wasn't that hard. Okay, I guess I'll see you later."

Deja clocked Engrin in the back of his head, knocking him out.

'[System], activate {Recent Memory Wipe}'

[Okay. Who is the target?]

'Engrin Daefiel.'

[Understood. Activating... complete]

Deja turned back to Engrin. Even if he had hurt him to find Eshanya, he didn't want to. He understood where he was coming from. Engrin had lost his brother, while Deja had lost his first friend. Sighing, Deja turned away, and took off.

----------

Deja activated {Aura Detection} while he was running. Noticing a total of 10 blood-lusting aura's surrounding the room's entrance.

'[System], generate a skill that can teleport me into that room.'

[Understood. Generated skill {Blip}: Allows the user to temporarily detach from their dimension, allowing them to phase through tangible objects.]

'Activate {Blip} and {God-Speed Footing}.'

[Done]

Deja looked around and saw that everything had seemed to disappear. The Only thing that hadn't disappeared was the Humans, who continued to move. Using his remarkable speed, Deja dashed into the area where Eshanya sat tied. He deactivated {Blip} and seemingly appeared next to Eshanya.

"De- Mmph!"

Deja's hand blocked her mouth. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Im going to get you out of here, but stay quiet. Got it?"

Eshanya nodded.

'Hey [System], can I use {Blip} with other people?'

[Yes, though it triples the mana consumption rate.]

'Wait, that's still a thing? I thought my skills were mana free!'

[No, Mana is consumed at a rate of 100 per second for a normal {Blink]. Including the previous time spent, along with the tripled rate, I would say Deja has about 100 seconds of time remaining]

'Oh! Ok then. Lets do it'

[Activating...]

Just as last time, everything seemed to fade except for the people. Deja grabbed hold of Eshanya's arm, and took off sprinting. Hitting where the wall was, Deja glided through, until he was a far enough distance from the building. And just in the nick of time too. As soon as Deja hit the outside, the system started counting down.

[Mana depleted in five, four, three...]

'Cancel skills!'

[Skills canceled.]

Deja and Eshanya popped back into reality, the building a good 100 meters behind them. Deja fell to the ground, gasping for air. Eshanya fell to the ground as well, but not because she was tired. Bewildered, she looked around, seeing that they had gone from inside to outside in a matter of minutes. She looked at Deja, who was laying on the ground next to her, taking great gulping breaths. Deja looked up to the sky.

'Status!'

'Hey [System]?'

[Yes?]

'What happens if my mana hits zero when I am using a skill?'

[The skill goes haywire, with you losing control over it.]

'What is the consumption rate of my skills?'

[All God-Killing skills usually have a consumption rate of 100 per minute, but your {Blink skill is slightly different. While most skills can draw from the worlds mana, sustaining it, Blink relies solely on your mana, therefore its consumption rate is higher]

'Got it.'

Deja turned too Eshanya.

"Almost used up all my mana in there!"

"Why did you come to get me, Deja?"

"Someone needed to clean up your mess, and you know the truth, so I can't let you get caught so easily."

Deja slowly pushed himself up to his feet. He held his hand out to Eshanya, offering to help her up. Eshanya look it, and with his help, got onto of her shaking legs.

"Nervous?"

"No, just a bit uneasy. That spell isn't normal."

"Oh no, it's not. It's a spell that detaches you from your dimension temporarily."

Eshanya's jaw dropped. She knew it had felt weird, but that was just insane!

"I guess you never can seize to amaze, can you Deja?"
