“This….is this his Ki?”
I mutter in surprise while staring at Alphonso with my mouth open wide, as the neon-colored energy around him keeps getting larger and shimmers, just like fire.
At the same moment, Alphonso’s skidding momentum comes to an abrupt halt. Using one of his hands to hold the blood sword, he retracts his right hand backward, balling it into a fist.
I can see it… He is gathering Ki in his right fist! A ball of Ki starts condensing around his fist, enveloping it. Without holding back, Alphonso slams his right fist into the blood sword.
>>>BOOOM<<<
A loud explosion erupts as Alphonso hits the blood sword. Right in front of me is the battle between Ki and vampire aura.
>>>BOOM<<<
Another loud explosion occurs again, this time the foundation of the arena starts vibrating while many cracks start appearing on the ground. I can’t see clearly right now because of the debris flying around, rendering my special eyesight useless.
>>>BOOOM<<<
Another explosion erupts, this time, I see a huge amount of Ki erupting from Alphonso’s body.
‘What type of monster is he? Fuck, I have to run!!’ I think inwardly as my instincts start screaming at me to run.
However, before I can take a step to start running away, another explosion erupts, causing my vision to go white.
It is as if a flash bomb was used.
‘W-Was I killed?’
***************************
Meanwhile, inside a large room filled with many robotic arms and flying mechanical objects, a man can be seen seating on a chair with a mask on his face. All the robotic arms that are working stop their movements while all the miniature flying mechs also stop mid-flight.
Under his black mask, this man seems to have a perplexed expression on his face as he squints his eyes for some reason.
This figure is none other than the mad scientist; Edgar Frost. While working on one of his creations, he noticed that a huge amount of energy was reading inside the game, making him check out the person that was exuding it out of curiosity.
“This boy is getting stronger day by day, his growth is quite amusing. What should I expect from the reincarnation of the Protoss? Grow stronger, boy, so that I can break you myself, muahahaha!!” Edgar starts laughing maniacally while a white sinister energy starts surrounding his body.
‘I need to be patient… I can’t wait to break him. There are just so many people on my list, but the Protoss is number one. That second vampire is also plenty strong, along with that girl with the demon king’s power.’ Edgar thinks inwardly while licking his lips creepily.
This was the reason why he created the game in the first place; to watch out for possible god slayers and challenge them to a death duel when they are strong enough. The mad scientist is like a savior and revered figure to the public, but there are many mysteries surrounding him.
*******************************
After the white flash that blocked my view subsided, I felt my body being blown away before hitting something sturdy. I can somehow tell that this is the viewing platform of the arena as my body crashes into several rows of chairs, crushing them. However, surprisingly, despite this huge blow, I am still alive in this game.
Slowly, I start to see all my surroundings again with many debris covering the whole arena. Sometime later, the debris settles and…
pan-d a-n0vel.com “Holy sh*t! So much destruction.” I mutter in shock while glancing around the arena. The whole arena has been destroyed and razed to the ground. Only the severely scorched ground is in my view with several cracks and lava spewing out of it.
At the center of the arena, I also see Alphonso standing unscathed. Not even a single scratch is on his clothing. The Ki surrounding him now is calm and gentle, unlike the violent Ki he was emitting before.
Slowly, Alphonso turns his body around and looks at me, as I am currently seated on the floor with my body full of cuts and bruises that are not healing due to the wave of Ki that hit me in the explosion that occurred.
At the same time, my eyes take in the figure of two people flying towards me. These figures are none other than Blair and Roth. Both of them are encased in a barrier made out of Ki. This is Blair’s Ki because I have seen the difference between everyone’s Ki as each and everybody’s Ki seems to have a signature of some sort. Besides, apart from Alphonso, only Blair can use Ki to this extent since Roth only recently learned how to use it.
They descend in front of me.
“Jake, are you okay?” Blair asks with worry etched on her face while running towards me, before crouching down beside me and checking out all my bruises.
“We’re inside a game, you know right?” I say with a sigh… as I can see the worry on her face.
She pauses for a moment.
“Ah, everything just feels so real that I forgot for a moment that we’re inside a game. But still… I can’t stand seeing you like this…” Blair says as she leans her upper body forward and bares her fine neck to me, urging me to suck her blood.
Seeing her do this, I gulp a mouthful of saliva as my fangs begin to elongate while I slowly start moving my mouth towards her neck, salivating about her tasty blood.
“Wait!!”
Alphonso’s voice stops me in my tracks, causing me and Blair to turn our heads in his direction.
“You don’t need to suck her blood… Even though you drink her blood, you can never regain your stamina to the peak that it was in before you used that attack. I won’t ask you where you learned that skill from. Everything is clear to me now…
“Apart from that, you were hit by my Ki, it will be tough to heal yourself unless you expel it with your own Ki. Even if you knew how to use Ki, it would be hard to expel my Ki unless you have mastered Ki to a certain extent than I did. In short, you can’t expel the Ki of someone stronger than you once it enters your body. I’ll teach all of you everything about Ki, but we need to exit this game now.” Alphonso says, and he begins to walk away before his body suddenly disappears.
It’s obvious that he has exited the game…
