Chapter 748: Chapter 748: The Undead King Attacks (Part 2)

Point-of-View: Leto Nex/Reaper, The Undead King

———————————————————————————

Damn it, where the fuck is she?! How the hell is she managing to keep away from me, I’m literally ten times stronger, faster and more powerful than her! Where the hell is that little bitch?!

Tch...fuck, I need to calm down. I’m getting closer and closer to cornering her, she’s going to run out of tricks at some point, and that’ll be my chance!

As a piercing burst of water came shooting towards me from an alley, I leapt up with all my strength, launching myself up and over the building to the left of the alley.

As I landed on the ledge of the rooftop, a smirk spreading out across my lips as I spotted a figure starting to duck into a connected alley, with a familiar head of brown hair and green eyes. I caught up to her before she could slip away, stomping my foot against her back and knocking her down.

She hit the ground with a thud and skidded forward, her weapon falling out of her grasp and hitting the ground with a clatter as it slid out of her reach. She let out pained groan, before turning around to face me with a grimace, glaring defiantly as she met my gaze.

"Been a while, huh? Since the trial," I greeted her, as I brandished my scythe at her.

"Not a reunion I was particularly hoping for. Hell, if I’d never seen you ever again, it would’ve been too soon," She responded dryly, as she got back onto her feet while eyeing me warily.

"Ohh, I’m gonna enjoy this. This is gonna be painful, bitch," I smirked, before driving the bottom of the handle of my Death Scythe forward, slamming it against her stomach, eliciting a sharp gasp from her as my strike knocked the wind out of her.

She keeled over and collapsed onto her knees as she coughed out blood with an agonized wheeze, trembling in pain as she clutched her stomach.

I then swung my foot up, kicking her face and breaking her nose, knocking her onto her back. As blood streamed out of her nostrils, I strolled over and placed my boot on her chest, smirking as I dug my heel in between her boobs.

While I’ve lost my sexual desire and libido after I turned undead, I can still appreciate a pair of boobs. Well, hers are pretty small, so not much to appreciate here.

"I’m gonna bash your face in until you’re completely unrecognizable, and then I’ll break every fucking bone in your body. And once I’m satisfied, only then will I kill you," I uttered maliciously, gripping the handle of my scythe with both hands as I raised it up with the end of the handle aimed at the middle of her face.

"Yeah, good luck with that. You’re not the only one who has a Hidden Skill...now, <Alchemia>!" She exclaimed, a burst of energy erupting around her.

I sprang back and got some distance as she rose back onto her feet, white energy flowing around her before wrapping around her back, cloaking her as the energy took form in the shape of a flowing lab coat.

Her eyes began glowing brightly, her Aura intensifying as she swung her weapon across and let out a slow exhale, a determined gleam in her eyes.

I warily cast Appraisal on her as I kept my distance, preparing myself for-...hm?

"What, that’s it? Just a twofold increase in power? Well, I guess that isn’t exactly insignificant, but you realize that I’m still a good five times more powerful, don’t you?" I scoffed, feeling a sense of relief as I checked out her stats.

"True. But if you think that’s all my Hidden Skill gives me, well, by all means, feel free to hold that notion," She responded tauntingly.

Damn it, she’s right, there’s no way the power boost is all there is to it...giving how overpowered my Hidden Skill turned out to be, there’s every chance that hers is nothing to scoff at either. Forget torturing her to death, I need to kill her immediately!

I shot towards her and lunged forward as I closed in, whipping my Death Scythe across at her neck with all the force I could generate. I’ll cut her head off before she can do anything, I-...huh?

My eyes widened as my blade collided against the side of her neck with a sharp clang, her entire body turning translucent, glittery and, most importantly, durable enough to withstand a strike from my Death Scythe.

Suddenly, I felt a dull, stabbing pain through my stomach, as her right hand changed shape into a sharp shard, which she plunged into me. The shard rapidly branched out inside my body, before she detached the branched shard and sprang back.

Her body returned to normal as she backed away, before she pointed her weapon at me and launched a rapid projectile. I crossed my arms in front of myself defensively, the projectile erupting with a powerful blast as it struck my arms, blasting my forearms off my elbows as I got sent flying back, my back slamming against the wall of a building behind me.

"Wh-What the hell is-...?!" I began to snap, before leaping across as another projectile came shooting towards me, exploding with immense force as it collided against the wall.

Bits of rubble flew out around the blast as the attack destroyed the wall, blasting a large hole into the side of the building.

I growled as I shot towards her again, tilting my head across as she fired out an arrow of swirling acid, a slight hiss and sizzle ringing out as it grazed my left cheek, before I leapt towards her as I closed in and whipped my scythe across at her head.

I stared in disbelief as my blade whizzed right through her, her body turning into some kind of mist and flowing past me, my skin sizzling as she enveloped me. D-Did she just fucking transform into a cloud of acid mist?! What the fuck is this shit?!

The mist then flowed away from me, before she re-formed several meters behind me. I turned around as I ripped my stomach open and yanked the branched shard she’d stabbed into me, tossing it away with an enraged snarl as I began to heal.

"I get it now...this Skill, it lets you transform yourself into the elements and compounds you create. You turned your body into diamond and then some kind of acid, didn’t you?" I surmised with a grimace.

"Huh, guess you’re a bit smarter than you look. Yeah, that’s right. And I can up the potency of my elements and compounds a lot more than I can in my base form," She responded, before unleashing a flurry of explosive projectiles at me.

I’ll admit, that’s a pretty powerful Skill...but ultimately, it looks like I don’t have anything to truly worry about. No matter how much more powerful her Magic is in this state, I can’t be killed.

And power boost Skills like this usually come with a time limit and cooldown...in other words, all she’s doing is delaying the inevitable. No matter how she slices it, this fight will end with her death...
