Knowing his weakness, i took some tar from my bag and poured it on my sword. And as i did the corrupted human charged at me, growing 2 extra pair of arms in his back.

Focusing on a single point to pierce my head off from existence. Swinging all his arms i managed to cut off one and got hit by the rest.

His hand was gone and i had a lot of holes in my chest. He recovered his and i recovered mine.

He stared into my eyes and said "a deathless one... i see now... i will need to bring you back..."

Hearing those words i used all my strength and threw my sword at him which pierced right through.

The tar did not though, it is right on his chest. Casting a barrier of flames rising from the ground to burn him.

It hit him, but it was apparently just an afterimage... the real one is right beside me whispering into my ear.

"Clever boy... tis was a nice trick..." before he could grab me i grabbed him and casted another barrier of flame right underneath us. Because this works like a game the fire doesn't damage me.

But it did damage him, yet he showed no response... this time he grabbed me completely by all his hands. His blindfold falling off.

Seeing the abyss in his eyes... he said to me "did you really think... that would be enough for me?"

Then raising me into the sky he whispered "look into my eyes and fall asleep." I headbutted him and repeatdly casted walls of flames, but it only seemed to irritate him.

He said to me "is this the best... that you could do?" I said with a smile "not really." Entrapping him in vines set on fire, he tried to entrap me with shadow but the fire killed it.

The vines will not hold, knowing that i still kept pumping more mana into it. Corrupted humans become weaker during the day, i'll stall for that long if i have to.

After 4 seconds of pumping, i was finally out of mana. And he would eventually break free. I instead continued to summon walls of fire around us. To weaken him and to damage him.

My sword is too far gone into the thick flames, so picking up a pointy stick i tried to stab him in the chest while he was immobilised.

But instead it broke. He broke through the vines and shouted "enough games!" Creating an opening inside the barrier i revealed xavier about to shoot an arrow imbued by holy magic.

He released forcing the corrupted human to dodge it. Then juliet came rushing with an ice greatsword imbued by holy magic aswell.

Tried to slash hin horizontally but he jumped into the sky. And annie tried throwing a knife at him but did not reach. Juliet pushing me aside...

But i don't feel it... she's a hologram... she shouted "Stop this atrocious living loser!"

Smiling, i think i know one of them is planning something... i shouted out "Lets go!"
