Chereads / Destiny: Break The Shackles / Chapter 83 - A hard choice

Chapter 83 - A hard choice

Jin ran towards the kids as he slammed his leg down on Mason who had his guard up which was broken by Jin's leg. As the leg went past the guard, water gathered around a spot and froze as Jin broke through it but it was not enough for him to hurt Mason.

Jin then put up a guard as a blast of wind was shot at him by Blake which caused him to fly back. He then saw the clones of Robert as he went for a stab at Jin's neck but the knife broke as it was poor quality and Jin had strong defense. 

The clone then exploded but Jin wasn't surprised like last time so he managed to use [Mana Adrenaline Peak Rank f] blocking the attack. He then looked at the three ready to shoot out mana bolts but clones made a wall so he decided to not use this skill as he ran towards the people ready to strike. 

The seven clones then explode as Jin backs away but then suddenly six clones run back at him ready to attack as for the incoming clones. Jin took out a card as it had a question mark and when he poured mana into it a normal short dagger was in his hand. 

He then sliced one of the clone's necks as he then stepped towards another one grabbing it by the hair and swinging it to block an attack. He then threw him at two other clones pouring mana into the blade making a long mana blade as he ran it threw the three of them.

The two remaining clones went to attack him while his blade was stuck but he snapped the mana blade and then used the dagger to slice the neck on a clone. The other clone then  jumped towards Jin as it exploded and he went to block the explosion.

Jin then saw the clone jump off the fake explosion to stab him in the neck but Jin took his dagger and slashed at the neck of the clone killing it. He then looked for the three as he saw them about to kill the bully so he leaped to defend the bully.

As Jin leaped to save him but a clone, an invisible clone exploded next to him as he was sent flying into the ground unable to move because he needed to regenerate. The reaper cloak then wrapped around his legs as he used them to stand up and jump to the roof. 

Jin then ran to get the bully before they got to him as he managed to jump on him and guard before their attacks went through. He then made a mana sword on the bottom of his feet as he stabbed it into his shirt, throwing him into the knight who finished collecting the souls.

Jin then rushed towards the three as he threw the dagger which exploded as lightning struck it. He then looked at the three as he knew he couldn't handle all of them at once so he made a mana bolt as he shot it to the ground as he pierced the ground making them fall. 

Jin then jumped on a piece of debris grabbing Robert as he slammed into a wall bringing them both into the water. Robert then tried to get out but Jin suddenly wrapped around mana strings around him.

Robert was easily able to break out of them but by the time he got back to the surface Jin pointed a finger gun with a [lightning bolt] and said, "Bang!" Robert was about to get shocked but he made four clones that pushed him up with a weak explosion. As he rolled on the building he saw Jin and smirked as he knew his teammates were gonna help him but after a full minute of that smile no one came.

Robert was confused but as he looked down he saw them trying to kill the bully rather than helping him with Jin. Jin was the one smirking as he grabbed him by the head as he said, "Have a nice sleep." Jin punched him in the face not wanting to kill him but not wanting him to cause him any more trouble.

He then carefully placed Robert down as he jumped down,drop kicking Mason into the water. Blake looked down but as he was shield bash he focused back onto the ongoing battle. As Mason tried to escape with ice spikes but it was to no avail as Jin's cloak blocked all the incoming damage.

He then threw him up to the roof as he managed to cut Jin's hand and escape his grasp. Mason then backed up as water started to gather in the shape of a blade as [Water Blade] activated. The water blade froze as it cut through the air coming for Jin but it stopped suddenly as Jin activated [Mana Adrenaline Peak Rank F] and his reaper cloak.

Jin then looked at Mason as rushed towards him but as he got closer Mason put his hand on Jin's chest as he was sent back. He was sent off the ledge but he managed to make mana spikes on his hand sticking to the building and climbing back up. 

Jin then took out a card as it was a slot machine as he pulled it as he dodged the attacks. Four water blades began to form as Mason took some deep breaths. The slot machine stopped on fire, water and a sword hilt as a sword hilt appeared in Jin's hand. 

Jin poured mana into the sword as gas came out as it then formed at Jin's will making a shield. The shield blocked the blades as he then made a sword as it shot out towards Mason as he got hit and Jin then punched him knocking him out.

Jin then sighed as he felt mental strain from all the knights caught up to him but he stood strong and the knights carried up the bully as Blake followed up. Jin then got rid of them as he tried to form his mist sword into something else as the mist slowly turned into water.

The water then bursted out as a flame sword bursted out smoke all around Jin from the rain but the flame kept going. As Jin went to attack with the flame sword Blake suddenly was on his left with a sword incoming to his throat.

Jin was confused but didn't think much of it as he just used his flame sword to block the incoming blade. He then went to cut him with the flames but suddenly Blake was now back at his original position as a blast of air sent Jin stumbling back. 

More air blasts followed but the flames swallowed them up as Jin let out a cry as the sword hilt started to melt and his hand started to burn up. He dropped the sword as he then took out a card with his last random card in hand.

Jin then poured mana into his card as a red bladed sword with the hilt with red grip. He then swung it at Blake but he had one final trick up his sleeve as he disappeared for Jin's sight. 

Blake then grabbed the collar of Jin trying to flip him over but as the speed ended Jin grabbed him.Blake wasn't strong enough to flip him over but this wasn't the case for Jin as he slammed him into the ground knocking him out. 

He then threw him next to the others as he took a deep breath as he saw a system message pop up for them so he took a quick look at it.

---------------------

[You have four minutes left until you die. Please kill the one who bullied you to not feel God's wrath.]

---------------------

The utter shock of this filled his face as Jin saw that they were gonna die if they didn't kill this person. He felt like he was gonna be the cause of their death since he protected this man but shook that off as he was just protecting the man.

Suddenly Hanja and Jiyu went out as they looked like they had some things to say. Hanja blurted out, "Jin you need to kill this bully. I know he may be a little good inside but these three lives are ones that just wanted to get revenge and do anything for it." Jiyu disagreed as he said, "This boy's life is redeemable and they killed themselves by making this deal with those Gods." 

Jin couldn't decide as he tried to make one of them seem like an angel and the other a devil but it was impossible as they were both right in their own ways. No one was evil, they all we're just misguided as with most of the hard choices in life. 

Four minute passed as the sun rose and the sound of the system could be heard in the background but Jin was crying. The bully woke up confused but just ran away from Jin as the sounds of clicks could be heard from the background but he ignored them as the system overpowered them.
