Chapter 467: All Kingdom end (2)
Now, it seemed like the perfect time had arrived, and Roki was ready. He charged in, and his sword had been imputed with so much Ki and energy, even those that weren"t able to sense Ki could see it following around the sword.
When reaching the Ant, he swung down diagonally from the neck all the way down. There was nothing fancy about the strike. It was an attack that was meant to be the most efficient way one could kill someone.
After the initial hit, he fell to the floor on his knees.
Roki was huffing and panting, from that one attack alone. Even if he wanted to, he now could no longer fight. Both Sera and Ray had been hit far away from the Ant now. At the same time, Roki made his attack, the Ant could feel a strong energy and increased its own attack.
Lifting his head, Roki wanted to see the damage he had done, surely they had made some progress. The ant man stood there standing just like he had done this whole time, and on his chest, a faint white scratch could be seen.
"I"m afraid, we all might die here today," Jones said, and the emperor had a similar feeling as well. Yes, they had strong mages, but without a doubt, both Roki and Sera were their strongest fighters if they couldn"t beat it, then who could.
Now Sera"s wounds were taking longer to heal. He had healed his broken bones and ripped skin on his body so many times he was running out of energy. He would be down for a while before he could get back up. He had also been fighting for a while before Ray and Roki had decided to join.
Now the only one that looked like he could still stand on his two feet was Ray. He charged in again because that"s all Ray knew how to do. He changed his strategy slightly using all of the attributes he could. He attacked with lighting, ice, poison, and wind, but they all had the same effect.
The Ant then saw an opportunity. It straightened its fingers, made a hand like gesture, and like a sword stuck diagonally.
Roki seeing this was in awe, it was only a hand, but the strike it had just demonstrated was the same one that he had just done on the Ant. It was still learning even in this fight.
When the strike hit, it slashed through every bit of armour Ray had on and it broke to pieces. A deep cut was made from his chest, and dark black blood started to pour out of it.
"A…beast?" The ant man said its first words, in a low voice.
But that wasn"t what the emperor was concentrating on, with his armour broken and falling to the ground, the pendant he was wearing was chucked up in the air.
Alexander could see it.
"The key!" He said. He tried to take a step forward. But the Ant had turned its heads, although it didn"t have a human face, he could tell the expression it was giving.
It told him not to step forward, and that he did taking a few steps back.
"Why does an outsider have the key, how is that even possible." Alexander thought.
He had completely forgotten about everything that was happening around him, and it seemed like he was only obsessed with one thing. The Key that was in front of him. Crazy thoughts started to enter his head, of trying to take the daggers of Savana and trying to stab the beast himself.
This was how much he yearned for that Key, but his sanity kept him slightly in check. He knew he would be a dead man if he attempted anything like that.
Now, nothing had worked. The three of them had done everything in their power to try to defeat the ant beast, but it looked as if this whole time, the beast was toying with them as if they were mere ants.
"Weak.." The Ant spoke slowly as if it was still trying to learn how to speak. It knew of words but had yet to speak them properly.
The cut looked bad on Ray, but he still wasn"t out, as it was the first real blow he had taken. He looked at all the people in the arena, he looked at those in the trench, and at his friends who were all screaming wildly.
There was only one thing he could do. He tried sending a message one more time, but once again it was blocked, his only hope was that Sera was blocking his abilities.
"Sera, are you blocking or restricting my abilities!" Ray shouted
Sera looked a little surprised. He had set up something around the arena with a certain ability of his, and Ray"s guess was correct. He had done the same at the facility. Beforehand, Sera could place so many borders in certain areas. Which gave him certain effects, but right now, was it affecting Ray"s ability to fight? He didn"t think it would.
Usually, the borders were designed for something else, and that something else was stopping Ray from doing what he wanted to do.
"Please," Ray said for the first time with sincerity. "Whatever it is, can you stop it and I promise, I"ll take these beasts away."
Sera didn"t like the fact that he needed help from these guys, but with this weak body he was in, could he even defeat the Ant? At the same time, he couldn"t exactly imagine Ray being able to do anything even if he took the borders away anyway.
He looked at Ray"s face for a few seconds, which didn"t stray away from the Ant. It was a fierce look, and he hadn"t given up.
"Fine!" Sera said. "Cancel arena border."
Certain skills on the system that were graded out before were now no longer greyed out.
One last time, Ray charged in leaving a trial of Black blood. In the arena, Sylvia had finally pa.s.sed out. The others could finally see what was happening. They could see Ray running towards the Ant, with his wound fully open and bleeding.
He threw a couple of fire b.a.l.l.s out at the Ant, and then through the dust, threw out a fist. Or he made it look like so, with the Ant planning to block the punch, Ray slid on the ground and grabbed the Ant"s ankle, allowing him to change direction on the floor twisting his body in. As fast as he could, he got behind the Ant and grabbed it behind the waist.
"Bye, everyone!" Ray said.
[Teleport]
A light beneath their feet started to light up. The Ant tired it"s best to move away from it, but no matter what Ray wasn"t going to let it go. He held and held pulling strength from somewhere he never knew he had and finally.
The skill was finished, the light took them both in, and when it dispersed, both of them were nowhere to be seen. They had vanished.
"Ray!" Martha shouted.
