Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 14: Are You Not Afraid To Die?

Aria flapped her wings and shot feathers at Zach. Zach easily dodged them, but when he glanced back to look at the feather that hit the stone behind him, he was glad that he avoided them. Aria’s feathers were so sharp that they were shattering objects on impact.

“You have nowhere to run, mortal!” Aria yelled. “Just give up and let me kill you.”

“Not so fast, you crazy monster.” Zach grabbed his sword and deflected Aria’s feathers.

“Heh!” Aria scoffed and said, “If you are that confident that you can easily block and deflect my feathers, then here is my gift.” Aria flew higher and flapped her wings repeatedly. Hundreds of feathers came out from her wings.

Zach swiftly dodged them, but Aria kept flapping her wings and launching feathers. Zach knew he had to do something, or sooner or later, the feathers would hit him. Aria was predicting Zach’s movement and throwing feathers in advance ever before Zach could move on the spot.

Of course, Zach had already assumed Aria might do that, so he came up with his own plan, that was…. No plan at all. If he ran without any spot in his mind and trusted his instincts, he would be safe, or that’s what he thought. However, Aria never stopped throwing feathers at Zach.

It was a matter of time before Zach got tired, and his speed slowed down. He was already exhausted from his fights from before in the dungeon, and running out like that was making him more fatigued.

Zach ran to the stone and used it to jump on the other stone. He jumped from one rock to another while dodging Aria’s attack. He landed on Aria’s throne and stopped to catch his breath.

“Get off my throne, you mongrel!” she yelled and threw dozens of feathers at him.

Zach took a deep breath and began to run vertically on the throne’s colossal slat. He climbed on top of the slat and jumped in the air to punch Aria. But Aria, however, flew higher and launched a few more feathers at him.

“What an idiot!” Aria sneered. “You won’t be able to dodge in the air. Your death is—! Huh? Where did he go?” Aria glanced around, but Zach was nowhere to be seen.

“Look up, you bitch!”

Aria looked up and got punched by Zach in the face. She lost her balance, and both Zach and Aria fell to the ground. However, Zach made sure to stay on top of Aria, so Aria took all the damage.

Zach raised his fist again, and he was about to punch her again but stopped when he noticed something sharp touching his neck.

They were Aria’s wings, and she was pointing them at Zach. She could pierce them all into Zach’s neck whenever she wanted.

“Before I kill you, answer me one thing. How did you get on top of me?”

Zach stared into Aria’s eyes and replied, “I stepped on your wings and used them as a pedestal.” he uttered nonchalantly.

“Even then, you shouldn’t be able to do that. You even managed to knock me down three times. You are not an ordinary mortal, are you?”

Zach opened his fist and raised his hands in the air to surrender, or so it looked like, but Zach plucked one feather from Aria’s wings and used it as a dagger.

Aria pushed Zach aside and pinned him down by getting on top of him. Then, she pointed both her wings at Zach and said, “You know, I might have forgiven you if you had just surrendered.”

“But I wouldn’t have,” Zach asserted in a solemn voice. “I won’t forgive you, ever.”

Zach and Aria stared into each other’s eyes and pointed their weapons at each other’s necks. Aria was using her wings as a weapon, and Zach was using the feather as a dagger. Even though Zach was at a disadvantage here, the expression on his face didn’t change.

Aria moved her wing and inserted the tip into Zach’s neck. Zach started bleeding, but he didn’t show any sign of pain. Zach also did the same with the feather and stabbed the tip in Aria’s neck.

“Just so you know, I am not present here,” Aria uttered. “This is just a tiny piece of my consciousness. So even if you had killed me somehow, I wouldn’t have died, and this piece of consciousness would have come back to me.”

“But as for you, if I kill you here, then you will die in the real world,” she added and waited to see Zach’s reaction, but much to her surprise, Zach was still making a solemn look on his face.

“Are you not afraid to die, mortal?” she asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.
