Chapter 14 - Defeating The Lich.

He pushes me off the ground, as I see a light infront of me, Running towards it, I finally catch up with it, and regain consciousness in my real body.

"Im still so confused, he granted us the functional body of our past, IN THE PRESENT, and now he wants us to beat a god knows who monster and HE WANTS TO SEND US BACK TO THE PAST WITH OUR MEMORIES INTACT!?"

One thing was clear, We had to beat the Lich to proceed with the operation, no matter how strong.

"Everyone, Keep him at standby, I will be back soon." I said, as I jumped off the 5th floor to the ground.

"Shit, I thought this was the 1st floor." As I was about to make contact with the ground, an invisible power lifted me softly off the ground and I had landed safely.

"Sagittarius, Just kill me already, I can not handle sudden information, yesterday it was just nothing but an old assassin wanting revenge, NOW ITS SYSTEM, WARRIORS OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS, LICH, HIS HEART, REGRESSING, TRIAL VERSION, JUST KILL ME!"

"SYSTEM:

I apologise for such sudden news, but there is one more thing you have forgotten to add in your list, magic power and it's abilities." It replied; "That makes it two things." It added.

"Well, now that the 11 are taking care of the lich, I should wrap things up myself now."

I fixed up a dynamite, no, not one, a lot of them, enough to blow up the whole area.

"They won't die by such trivial matters, right? Everything under 100 meters will be exploded, I already asked the soldiers to evacuate the civilians before I left." I wondered, but now it was not the time to ask myself questions, whatever choice I make, it will represent my entire life, like this one choice depends on me, Either I wait till the subscription trial wears out, or I do it now and destroy it's heart in the explosion.

I took out my smart phone and dial the number to the stand by officers and ask them to tell the others to protect themselves first or tell Jack to absorb all the damage himself since he is the tank.

"He fought with the lich all by himself to almost a day now, what is a small explosion for him?" I said, as I turned on my phone's camera and started video recording.

"So what's up guys, this is the last proof that we will remain on this planet, If you find this phone, and this phone specifically, I just want to say, We have gone back to the past, Goodbye." I said, waving to the camera as my last goodbye and ending the recording.

I threw it far across the apartment, almost crossing 3 regions at once.

"Super human strength from Jack is kind of weird, I don't feel anything but my strength had increased by a lot."

I pressed the red button on the remote and everything blasted near me.

"Am I gonna die in the explosion or what..?" I suffered continuous damage, leading to a lot of blood loss, "g-gurgh, now what the heck is wrong with me." With me trying to resist, I found out that this was the "result of me trying to copy skills greater than one's limit."

"No worries, I'm going to be taking all of the useful abilities when I go back to the past." Is what I initially thought, But why hasn't the "Lich has been defeated." Message popped up yet! Is it still alive!?

"Lich has been finally defeated, Biggest contributors:

Shin Hyeong

Sung Woo

Han Nari."

"Han Nari.. Han Nari... Who was it? Who was it?"

Suddenly a hand creeped up my shoulder, "Do you not remember 'Miss Anastasia' Mr John.." said Han Nari, her voice as cold as ice, messing with my ears, while this felt pretty good, it was ticklish.

"Do you think this is a joke..?" She added, As she menacingly grabs both of my shoulders, She uses her knee to kick my head.

"Ouch! That hurt!"

"Serves you right."

"How could I forget her name, I'm good with forgetting other names, but how her!?" I asked myself, Along with how she was the 3rd greatest contributor and not Timothy.

"How did you get the 3rd highest points in just half an hour of arriving..?" I asked her, She replied "It's because I'm strong."

"What do you mean!? I'm strong as well!" I thought to myself, "What do you mean? I'm strong as well? Is what you're thinking right?"

"How would you know!?"

"I just know, your emotions give it away."

I have been trained since the age of 7, on how to maintain a poker face, no way she might have just looked at my face and said it, there must be some secret to it.

"SYSTEM:

Her primary ability is to control all elements, even merging them to form powerful combinations.

Her secondary ability is to read even an ounce of emotion on someone's face."

"That is such a broken ability!!" I shouted, The others looked shocked as they had just barely escaped from the explosion and were trapped inside the rubble.

"What is?" They asked, I can't let them know about my cheat ability to copy other people's primary or secondary or even store bought abilities.

"No, I just found out that my phone got destroyed under all this."

"Oh is that so? Let me remove all this for you so you can find it." Said another teammate, her name was Ha Neul.

"Crazy how I remember someone else's name rather than my own information broker."

"Surprising, isn't it?" Said Anastasia, The moment I looked back, She delivered a blow to my nose.

After being sent flying away, I opened my eyes after quite a bit of time, It was Jack's second ability, "Healing."

He could heal minor injuries all by himself, If upgraded to S tier...

"Now.."
