Chereads / Legendary Seer / Chapter 14 - Scythe of Fate

Chapter 14 - Scythe of Fate

I shot up into sky and looked down at the bloody battle that was raging below, then dove down towards it with so much speed that I had to squint my eyes to see.

On getting closer to the battlefield below, I noticed a smooth transparent surface reflecting the sun, and then I remembered seeing a guy from my 'spirit vision' shoot out a transparent hexagonal shaped barrier to fortify the field.

"F*ck!!" I screamed, while trying to stop my momentum... But it was too late.

*Bang*

-

The battlefield fell silent as everyone looked up to see what crashed on the barrier... And they saw a cloaked figure with a scythe, sliding down the surface of the barrier and dropped to the floor.

The silence was observed for a few more seconds, before the battle resumed.

[WARNING: HP IN CRITICAL LEVEL]

"It's a surprise I didn't die...uhh" I groaned in pain, as I tried to get on my feet. At that moment the scenery before me suddenly changed, and I saw hundreds of people staring at me in amusement.

These were the people sorrounding the alliance meeting that I detected with 'Blindfold' earlier, and now I'm stuck with them outside the barrier.

"Could things get any more worse!?" I lamented.

First, I failed to make a majestic entry but instead made a tragic one... Second, my HP level is critical and I'm in my most vulnerable state... And third, I'm stuck with over a hundred enemies alone.

I fell back to floor and puked blood, then started to crawl away slowly, in a fake attempt to get away from the enemies. The girl who was responsible for the illusions, walked out from the crowd and approached me with a smug grin.

"Seems like I was wrong about you... How could you possibly not see the barrier?... Are you that dumb?" She reached out her hand to pull my hood off, but the moment she made contact with it, her pupils constricted to the size of a pin hole and she fell to floor, convulsing.

Then I stood up and bent over her and said "I'm not... But you are", and drove the blade of my scythe into her chest, which made the runes symbol on the rod of my scythe to light up in white light, and instantly I felt energised, with all my pains and injuries gone in a blink.

"Thanks for the HP" I said sincerely, and gave her a peck on the cheeks. Then I pulled out the scythe and saw the girl dry up like a twig.

"Woah... I wasn't expecting such effects" I mumbled to myself and stood up.

That was when I noticed the pin drop silence in the field. I looked into the barrier and saw that everyone was staring at me like a demon. 'Now this... Is more like a majestic entry' I smirked to myself.

I looked towards the hundreds of people before me and spinned my scythe in a stylish manner before pointing it towards the enemies and asking with a cool tone... "Who's next?".

*Roar*

The hundreds of people before me all let out a battle cry then ran towards me while waving their weapons.

You know why I was confident?... It's because due to the title 'Predictor', I could see through all their moves, and with my cloak, whoever came into contact would instantly be incapacitated, just like the illusionist and then with my all powerful scythe, I would never run low on HP for as long as I was slicing at someone.

Pretty cool right?

And without waiting for the enemies to approach, I ran towards them with my scythe in hand and soared into the skies, then dove down into their midst, drawing an arc of blood with my scythe and leaving cleaved heads in my wake.

I began the 'Blade dance', predicting all their movements and spells and cutting them down with my 'Scythe of Fate', the ones that managed to hit me didn't do much because my scythe was drunk in blood.

The system kept buzzing endlessly in excitement, as I felt like a God fighting with mere humans. The feeling was intoxicating but I began to slow down... I was famished. I haven't eaten or drank anything for the past two days I've been here and now, I was starting to feel the consequences of fighting on an empty stomach.

I had already wipe out half the population of the enemies but they still kept throwing themselves at me like zombies. There's this saying that 'A hungry man is an angry man', so with the anger generated from the hunger I was feeling... I held the end pole of my scythe and began to spin wildly like a crazed beserker.

The 'zombies' who kept rushing at me endlessly were all sliced apart, forming more pile of decapitated bodies on the field and giving me a breather. And with a shout, I raised my scythe above my head, and stamped down the end pole to the floor... and... Nothing happened.

I really should keep it low on the 'Animes'.

But I noticed something, these weren't player's, they were all NPC's... and they could use 'spells'?. That's new.

And this only meant one thing, the missing player's are siphoned of their abilities and given to the NPC's. 'Hey system! I think I'm right, where's my gift?' I asked in my head.

[That has nothing to do with us]

[And you're partially wrong]

'Partially huh?' I mumbled, trying to figure out the missing piece of the puzzle.

"What are you daydreaming about? You know they're not all dead yet right?" I heard the voice of the girl in white, behind me.

"I'm daydreaming of a certain beauty in a white dress" I replied, turning around to face her. "So when are we leaving for the adventure? You said you'll consider if I were to survive the battle" I asked with a grin.

"Don't be silly, this isn't a battle... This is just a warm up" she countered my question tactfully with her signature smile, and walked off.

'so she could joke too... Is she perphaps, falling for me?' I grinned maniacally and looked behind him to where she was in the distance.

"No she's not..." Replied a feminine voice, shattering my imagination.
