Chapter 45 - Crystal Wings And Puppet Of Death

The Fight between the two has become much more fierce, a fight in which Dave was unable to interfere. When he looked carefully there were crystal wings on John's back that helped him fly. He was attacking from every corner and threw Oscar upward with every attack using this new power. It seemed like John was in complete control of the wind around him.

Oscar's red armor was torn from many places and He was losing a lot of blood. However, soon enough he was freeing himself from the combination of attacks. Seeing that Oscar was trying to get away John stopped for a moment and the crystals in his wing scattered and flew independently in the air.

John landed on the ground and crystals hovered around Oscar to restrain his movements. Once again with the [Flash Series] skill, he ran faster toward Oscar and delivered a huge slash over his armor one that was visible from very far away.

' Is this it? Should I go and save him now?' Jin thought as he gulped down one more mana potion and recovered his mana. However before he could activate his skill, he saw Oscar still moving even with so many injuries like he wasn't hurt at all.

Once again Oscar activated the same skills and called out two skeletal hands. Lilac color strings came out of those hands, and then they attached to Oscar in different places. The hands moved Oscar like a puppet, Both John and he was once again clashing swords. However the power behind those attacks increased, and Oscar's sword covered itself in a lilac hue, and John's sword was glowing with a golden hue.

Something else had changed, Oscar fought but no longer relied on his power alone. His skills had suddenly improved or those hands were controlling his movements now, he fought using a more efficient style of sportsmanship. Like before he wasn't parrying the attacks but was attacking in a way that all of his movements were connected. Every time he moved, it was for the execution of his next attack. He created opening after opening leaving John astonished and unable to do anything.

" Skill Activate [ Dispel]" John shouted and once again the hands and strings disappeared. Oscar stood with his damaged armor one more time, aiming his sword toward John.

The crystals then returned to John and formed into the shape of wings. John quickly flew into the sky as high as can, Oscar readied himself for an attack by holding his sword like he was holding a baseball bat.

John came down at great speed with his sword, and his descent made the winds go crazy. Dave even slid two steps back because of the force and watched as Oscar once again summoned those hands to defend himself.

Dave closed his ears and eyes before the ultimate clash was going to happen. It was obvious that one of them was surely going to die or end up split into two pieces.

SHWING!, Dave heard the voice of those swords clashing, and when he opened his eyes, both of them were trying to overpower each other. The earth below Oscar's feat was shattered while John's wings were causing the winds to crazy.

" Skill Activate –" John tried to activate his skill, most probably the [ Dispel] skill. However, it was too late as Oscar's power suddenly surged, and with a swing, he sent John flying with a blast of death energy.

' Oscar won...' John thought, his face darkened upon realizing that John may have ended up dead or on the brink of death.

After the crash, John didn't get up. His crystal winds broke into small shards of light and slowly started to disappear. Dave ran towards John to check whether or not he was still alive after that.

"...I..am Alive!" John spoke and turned his head towards Oscar who was slowly approaching them.

" Damn you, I just recently bought this armor!" Oscar shouted, " Are you satisfied, now?... You Stupid Loser!"

" Talk with her, If you didn't do that," John replied, " If you are not a liar then why do you not tell this to her face?"

" She straight up tries to kill me! It's better to let things be this way!" Oscar answered. " I don't want to hurt her and I don't want to die because of her."

*****

The three of them finally sat down to talk, Dave was there to just stop a fight if they start at it again. He was confident because he believed that they have already used up most of thier energy. Both of them had activated the skill many times so that must have drained their mana, and Dave didn't see them drinking any potions.

"...So she told you that she will not attack you anymore?" Oscar asked Dave.

" That is the case for now, but who's to say that she will not come after me because of you," Dave shouted in response as he said that, he looked very frustrated.

" Hey, aren't we helping each other? I helped you hoping that you will help me." Oscar spoke in a similar tone, " Help me with this, I know that you are plenty strong. After all, you have already defeated her."

" That was just a fluke, I can't do that again." He answered.

" Why?" Osker questioned.

" I won because of that bident and now she has it so she is much more frightening than before..." Dave replied and explained everything about how he won and what he did to get her off his back.

" Are you stupid?" Oscar responded, After listening to what Dave said.

" No, I am not, If anyone's stupid here, it's you," Dave spoke.

" Alright let's stop here." John finally sat down properly and started speaking, " What do you plan to do? Run away again!"

" Yes, Don't you think that's a better option compared to fighting her?" He answered.

" What if I convince her to talk with you? If it's a misunderstanding we can deal with it."
