"This is going to be harder than I initially expected it to be.." the unknown man says cautiously to Selvyn and Mathis.
Mathis and his companions slowly surround Wetay, knowing that they were outclass in all stats even when they were combined together.
"Wetay? What a weird and ugly name." Mathis taunts, trying to distract him.
"Do you really think a petty taunt would do anything?" Wetay said in response, his smirk widening.
[False king of darkness lvl. ??? Has been Activated.]
"Why do i feel cold all of a sudden.." Mathis asked, his face growing concerned.
"I feel the same too.. i feel awfully weak ontop of that." Selvyn said in response, her voice growing weaker.
As for the unknown man he stayed silent, his expression indifferent and his eyes calculating.
[Warning: your soul is being reaped.]
[Attempt at soul stealing has been blocked by 'skill: [Hidden]']
Instead of being frustrated or attempting to use another skill, he just smirks and pulled out a modern hunting rifle.
"Did you really think that it would be this easy to defeat me?" Wetay said while laughing, his expression mocking.
Before Mathis had time to move out the way as BANG! Rang out, Mathis felt a sharp pain.
[Warning: the bullet has afflicted you with concealed skill:--]
Mathis did not have time to read as another, familiar and terrifying message appeared.
[You have died.]
As the text appeared before him, Mathis saw his own body explode from the inside with sharp, red vines.
[Skill: 6 lives has been activated and been converted into 'skill: 5 lives.']
As Mathis woke up again and looked in-front of him, he found selvyn kneeling down next to him.. she was crying.
"Hey-" Mathis tried to speak but was interrupted by the sounds of a blade clashing with a bullet as explosions rang out.
Upon noticing Mathis was back, Selvyn practically threw herself at him.
As for the unknown man he was fighting Wetay by himself.
Mathis tried to get up but Selvyn stopped him, by pulling his coat.
"I don't want you to die.. not again." Selvyn said, her voice shaky and filled with worry.
"I wont die, I still have 5 more extra lives.. but how long was it gone for?" Mathis asks, the effect of resurrecting making his head pound.
Selvyn shakes her head and answers as she keeps holding onto him tightly.
"F-Five minutes." Selvyn says, her voice trembling just as much as her hands.
Selvyn seems to gather up courage and speaks up.
"It doesn't matter if you have 1, 2, 5, 10 or even 1000 lives! It hurts when I see you hurt, okay!?" Selvyn yells out, her voice full of sorrow and made her seem tired.
[Skill: Copycat has been activated, Mathis has copied 'skill: time manipulation.' And has temporarily gained access to it.]
As Wetay fires another shot, blood starts pouring from every major spot on his body.. each artery had been precisely cut out of nowhere, before he even had time to regenerate his head flew off.
There Mathis was, he was right infront of him.
[Quest complete, the false king of darkness has been slayed and the underworld has been notified. The contributors will be issued their rewards.]
[Due to using 'copied: time manipulation' for an excessive amount of time, you have been afflicted with 2 minutes of immense pain and strain.]
Mathis immediately felt the effects, he screamed out in pain as his body immediately gave out, luckily the unknown man was not to far and managed to catch Mathis.
Selvyn rushes over and hugs Mathis, worry visible in her eyes.
"I am sorry you had to use that.. i am sorry for being so useless!" Selvyn yells out, her eyes filled with guilt, concern, care and worry.
"There.. is nothing to be sorry about, just you being here like this.. is enough." Mathis said weakly.
"Mathis is right, there is no need to beat yourself up over this. The fight is now over." The unknown man said, his usually indifferent face now being one of understanding and slight worry.
[Mathis has acquired 'Skill: Divine support lvl. 1.']
[Selvyn has acquired 'un-copyable skill: day of execution.]
[Unknown has acquired 'skill: killing blow.']
