Chapter 5: The Gate (3)

'How can I defeat all of these bastards alone?' William thought to himself as he parried multiple swing of the death knight before jumping over to the other side to dodge.

'My attack cannot land and even if they do, they absolutely did zero damage, I didn't expect such strong opponents this early when I haven't even tried all of my cheats!' William thought as he ran away from the darkness spirit slashes.

William hands were tied.

His attacks were ineffective against his foe.

None of his other cheats are currently usable.

He sighed in frustration before a stroke of brilliance befell him.

'Ah-hah! I wonder… system, do I have the immortality of the beheaded including respawn mechanic of Minecraft and Terraria?' William asked as he keep bouncing from wall to wall, pillar to pillar and swinging through the mall dodging the merciless attacks of the five mini-boss.

[ Affirmative, the beheaded template grant the host a variety form of immortality including the ability to respawn so does Minecraft and Terraria core, so even if the host dies you will be resurrected in another place specifically your original spawn point but this feature can override by the spawn mechanic of the Minecraft and Terraria core. ]

'Understandable, now is there a bed shops nearby?' William as he keep on dodging search for a shops that sell something akin to a bed.

Fortunately William saw at the corner of his eye was the shop that he was searching for, The Heavenly Mattress.

Using his scarf, William propelled himself straight through the glass door and land pn top of a bed softly.

Crash

[ Spawn point set ]

"Yosh!" William jumped upwards and quickly dashed outside to fight against the five mini-boss.

His head was soon sliced in half by the death knight.

…

1,904th attempt at fighting.

William's corpses was littered all over the whole floor as the smell became quite unbearable.

The five mini-boss were becoming more and more vigilant as William always come back despite them killing him over and over again.

'It seems that I can duplicate my items after dying and resurrecting, huh? That's kinda broken, I mean that would give me an infinite amount of item.' William thought as he stared at all of his corpses who were still holding the ninja sword.

William hold out his fingers and pointed all of them at multiple corpses, soon a laser beamed out of them.

The corpses that was hit by the laser began to move once again as it stood up despite some of them have the body that was almost unuseable.

Each of William's resurrected corpses began to pulled out a small vial filled with red colored liquid and drank it.

Quickly their torn down body regenerated and repaired itself to their original form as each of them hold out their ninja sword and pointed it at the five mini-boss.

Everyone was confused at the sight as how William keep coming back and what kind of abilities did he use because despite it gave the same result as the avergae duplication abilities it was extremely different, its method wasn't through normal cloning way but a very strange and horrifying way.

William and his 'corpses clone' began to launch a beatdown for the five mini-boss.

"Hydro hand!" One of the corpse clone shout as he froze the golem in place.

Another one came from behind the golem and performed a slashing motion, "Ninja Tengu Slash!"

Sword shattered

Despite the sword shattering, the corpse clone managed to slice the golem's body in half horizontally.

"Go-lem? More like Go-j-" The corpse clone was diced.

William saw his notifications before he saw that the remaining boss were entering the next phase.

Lucifer's face wasn't the normal jokester anymore but the face of the King of Hell, he summoned his other six brother to aid him in the battle.

Grim's scythe get even more deadly as the soul he was keeping under his cloak became enraged, his skull and scythe were burned with soul flames.

'This is not going to be an easy win, if I was by myself that is.' William's ran away into a nearby shops and opened the ninjanomicon that sucked his consciousness into itself.

'Did he already entered the nomicon? Well, let's hold these bastards back until he returns!' One of the corpse clone thought as he lauched another hydro hand.

+++

Inside the nomicon was William that slowly descended into the tangible floor of the ninjanomicon.

"Hey nomicon, can you show me the technique that I can learn? I need it, quick and fast." William asked as he specified that he was in quite a hurry.

Suddenly a door opened leading to a space where many chinese lanterns were seen floating inside. For example;

Art of Telephathy.

Art of Invisibility.

Art of Shadows.

Art of Summoning.

Art of Movement.

And a whole room filled with more of the chinese lanterns.

He keep going to the lanterns one after another and read the instructions, he need a higher level of power than just base ninja rage to defeat the remaining two or eight despite Lucifer's sibling wasn't even on equal footing with him.

After swimming through the void, something in the far distance caught William's attention.

"Hey, nomicon. What's that thing over there? I see a few scrolls, is it a technique too?" William asked the Ninjanomicon.

Techniques sealed by the ninja that belonged to the Four Sacred Beasts of the four cardinal directions.

"By the description, it seems that those techniques are some sort of forbidden technique, huh?" William muttered before rushing into the place that contained the scrolls.

William saw four statues that each represented the four sacred beasts; Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise.

Each of the creatures hold the scrolls inside their mouths.

William grabbed one of them and started reading, he wanted to get power as quick as possible but he need to know the details before he can utilize the technique in an effective way.

+++

The fight was brutal and long, the ninja's are exhausted and lowering in number as the Lucifer and Grim make sure to completely evaporated their corpses.

"These bastards know our weakness, we can't regain the number advantage without the original so they destroyed all the corpses." One of the corpse clone muttered as he prepared for an air fist.

But before he could launch it a fist appeared infront of his face, it was the fist of the sin of wrath.

He managed to close the distance of roughly 49 km in less than a second.

Parried

Suddenly an arm erupted from the shadow parrying Wrath's punch.

The morphed shadow began to form and solidify into a ninja figure and the shadow began to wash off from the body.

The shadow revealed the ninja suit that was white in color instead of black, the red stripes became glowing blue and electricity was emitted from its body.

"Ninja Electric Touch!" William grabbed Wrath's head before injecting him with a ridiculous amount volt that fried him alive.

Wrath despite on the verge of death began to fight back by launching a jab at William's face that was dodged effortlessly, the fight escalated into a full-blown hand-to-hand combat.

'Hand-to-hand combat eh? Its not going to be that hard, thanks to my cheats!' William grinned behind the mask as he was confident in the ability of the beheaded and the White Tiger Technique.

-

The Dance of White Tiger.

This is the ability that was gained from the teaching of the White Tiger of the West and has been amplified by the Tengu and integration of the White Tiger.

The power it hold are the ability to manipulate lightning however the ninja wish, the mastery over all martial arts and the ability to instantly learn one, the advance authority over all form of metal and the ability to manipulate the agriculture and decomposition.

This form also grant superior enhancement of the strength, speed, durability and magical prowess, a claw-retractable weapon and a small white tiger spirit summon.

-

Smash

William smashed Wrath's head straight into the concrete floor and managed to create a huge crater.

'I'm already at level 90, I still need to fight against multiple enemies again, I'll make it quick.' William rushed at the remaining deadly sins.

Before his fist could land anywhere a huge wall of earth appeared before him.

'What is this? Do they have anyone that have earth eleme-!?' William was surprised hearing the words muttered on the other side.

"To stop your foes and hold them back." It was the voice of Lucifer.

"Harness the soil, for an earth attack."

"Time's getting tight so give me a hand."

"To survive this attack, I need a barrier of land!"

William was flabbergasted, he couldn't have predicted this progression.

'Did that bastard just copied my technique?' William was vigilant after the knowledge of his foe abilities reach his ear.
