"Zack," said the boy with bright blue hair.
"What is it?" The masked figure inquired.
The guy with bright blue hair pointed at Kris while peering at Zack. "His about to recover."
"Wha-?" Before Zack could say another word, he was brutally stomped in his face.
Kris then recovered his stance and began to hightail it out of the enemies location.
[Passive Skill:
Advanced Method of Recovery - Advanced/Lvl 3]
Zack cursed at the top of his lungs. "Damnit!!"
Rebecca, the girl, charged after Kris without saying a word.
"Can you quit whining and get that guy," Jayoung, the leader of the group, commanded.
"Tch!" Zack suddenly disappeared, leaving a evaporating afterimage of himself.
Jayoung face suddenly turned pale as he shouted, "And I mean bring him back not kill - whatever.."
Kris was dashing away from his adversaries. He wasn't planning on running away, only retreating a few distances away. But he found himself running away in cowardice. Why was that?
Suddenly, a masked figure appeared. One of its hands hovered over Kris head while the other was closing in on his mouth. Before Zack could snapped his neck, Kris ducked and rolled forward to gain some more distance.
"Come on. This stupid system isn't being consistent," Zack complained, physically irritated. "I am clearly faster than his mofo."
Kris then charged towards Zack and in his hands was Eden and Efriet. He struck Zack by his neck, yet, the attack didn't feel as if it connected.
Truth be told, the attack didn't even made contact with Zack's body. Kris's blade, Efriet had struck something solid but it wasn't even visible. The next second, a burst of flames covered the area.
Kris could hear the someone scoffing. "Ugh."
After the flames subsided, Zack vanished.
"Where'd he go," Kris inquired.
"Activate your eyes," said a voice by Kris's shoulder.
It was Leviathan back into his smaller form.
Kris's eyes then flashed gold and he could now see a string of mana lacing around his body. Every second a new string emerged and wrapping around Kris's body. Eventually, the string tightened around his neck.
Behind Kris was Zack with a stell dagger fasten around Kris's neck. It's handle was grey and the blade was craved with black designs of what looked like a ugly demon.
The next second, Kris saw the message:
[You have died]
[Title:
Cheater of Death - Hidden Sacred]
[+100,000 All Stats]
[Choose Your Location]
[You are alive!]
Zack suddenly turned around. He saw a blazing blade coming towards his face and he dodged it. But the next second he got kneed into his face. Kris then tripped him by sliding his feet below Zack's, which made Zack fall.
Kris was about to deliver the finishing blow by cutting of Zack's head with his two daggers, but once again slashed an invisible barrier.
"This again?" Kris inquired lifelessly.
Kris then took a kick to the abdomen. He could hear the sound of what seems to be glass shattering before Zack delivered the kick.
Kris was suddenly knocked by something by the side of his head then the other side. He was uppercut and his head was sent flying upwards, but, he lowered his eyes in time to see Rebecca lifting her finger upwards before his body was slammed into the ground.
Before Zack could deliver an attack, Kris's dashed away. He was going after Rebecca.
He grabbed after her face as he said, "So your the one making those barriers," with a menacing voice.
But before he could even lay a finger on Rebecca, his face was dragged back and slammed into the ground by Zack.
"Are you alright," Zack inquired with a hint of concern.
Rebecca answered, "Of course I am," with an arrogant tune.
Zack eyes widened. He turned around and saw Kris who was staring at the two of them.
"What the hell you looking at?" Zack asked with an irritated voice.
Suddenly, Kris brought out Transcendent and slashed at them both. A surge of lightning charged forward was but halted by another invisible barrier. Before it was broken, Zack brought Rebecca to safety.
They were now on top of one of the main buildings.
Zack was about to speak when Rebecca said, "Oh my God, shut up!"
"Jeez, I didn't even say anything," Zack said.
But suddenly, Kris appeared on top of that very building and tossed out a bolt at the building. Zack and Rebecca dodged but the building began to collapse.
Zack held Rebecca by her hand and suddenly disappeared. They then appeared at a save corner of the collapsing building which then halted in its own destruction.
The roof was now a gapping hole, shinning light into to the dark interior of the collapsed and still collapsible building.
Kris then dived into the building and landing perfectly on his feet. He charged at the two without weaponry this time.
He said, "Can you stay still?"
[Active Skill:
Methane Clathrate Domain - Elite/Lvl 1]
The three of them were suddenly encompassed in large but suffocating room with confusing temperatures that made one feel both cold and hot.
Kris now had Transcendent in his arms. He swinged it downwards on his nearest target, Rebecca. But her barriers were too strong for him as once again, his attack was blocked and burst of lightning escaped his blade.
"Pest," Kris muttered out of his mouth.
The sound of cracking could be heard and Rebecca's face turned pale. Before the energy of the katana could cut through the invisible barrier, Zack came to the rescue and brought Rebecca out of dangers path.
It seem as their abilities were weaken because of the confusing climate.
Zack tossed a few knives at Kris, who slashed them into little bits. But it only served as a distraction as Zack approached Kris. He leaped into the air and planted his feet into Kris face.
"Huh?"
Kris was unfazed by this attack as his head barely turned. His lifted his weapon and slashed at Zack's leg. Zack quickly retreated but Kris was quickly pacing behind.
He put back Transcendent in his inventory and summon his dual daggers. He positioned them around Zack's neck; Eden at the front of his throat and Efriet at the side.
When Kris was about to chop of his neck, Zack ducked just in the nick of time. But Kris wasn't finish as he stabbed the handle of his dagger into Zack's face.
"Come on," Zack said as he clenched his nose.
Another came but it hit his throat. Zack began to cough out salvia from his mouth and seemed to be choking on air.
Kris was about to deliver another blow this time with the blade of his dagger. But Zack parried the attack. He then summoned his own dagger and stabbed it into Kris jaw.
The dagger was then pulled, leaving a path of blood. But that was all as Zack attacked Kris. Dashing around his as he slashed his artery and stabbed multiple wounds in his back.
"That should leaving spill some hot sauce," Zack said.
But Kris was fine.
[Active Skill:
Heal - Common/Lvl 2]
His wounds were healed. He charged at Zack with his daggers and upper cut him in the chest with dagger. He then stomped and leaped off his head, pulling his dagger upwards. He then spiraled in the air and slashed a gapping wound in Zack's back. All his wounds were covered in coat of chilling ice.
Kris then turned around and was about to land the finishing blow, aiming at the back of Zack's head. But the attack was stopped.
"Mmm," Kris mumbled.
Suddenly Zack was lit into flames.
He shifted his attention to Rebecca. He charged towards her with an attack ready, as he hands with Efriet was pulled back.
Rebecca put up a barrier around her body to protect herself. Kris's dagger attacked the barrier but couldn't pierce it.
Suddenly, his domain shattered. An invisible force grabbed him from behind and tossed him out of the building.
[Active Skill:
Summon Specter - Epic/Lvl 1]
Suddenly, Llina appeared while Kris crashed outside the building.
"Get him," said Rebecca with hint of fatigue.
Zack retaliated. "But.."
"Can you just trust me and listen to me for once?!" Rebecca shouted I'm frustrating.
"...K," Zack said as he vanished.
Outside of the building waiting for him were two figures. One with mint hair and glowing cyan eyes sat upon of the rubble and he wore a white cape-like jacket, blue shirt, white pants and shorts. It was Eden.
"Hey yah," he said mockingly.
The other had red hair and glowing orange eyes. The attire he wore was of a black hoodie, red shirt, black jeans with rips and shoes.
"So your a S-teir assassin, huh?" Efriet inquired in low, but deep voice.
"You mean rank-?" Zack was cut off before the cold finish.
Both Eden and Efriet were charging after him. "Well get ready to be de-teired, bro!"
