NOVEL NEXT Chapter 212: I Run So Far
The next moment, Lukas disappeared into thin air.
"Damn. Is he a ghost or what?"
Giuseppe hadn't seen anything like this before, and he cursed out.
He searched frantically in the surroundings to see where Lukas was.
But Lukas was nowhere to be found.
"Come, let's go," Giuseppe said and he tried to help the Dark Lord to get away.
Thud.
One of Lukas's shadows that was holding onto the Dark Lord's shadow let go and it gave a punch onto Giuseppe's chest.
The impact from the punch gave out a loud thud and Giuseppe was flung away from where he was.
"Argh."
Giuseppe gave out grunts of pain as he tumbled across the ground.
When he stopped, Giuseppe tried to stand up, and he immediately felt the pain from his chest.
His ribcage was now fractured from the shadow's punch.
But it was not over so soon for Giuseppe.
Hair stood on end on Giuseppe's arms.
Flashes of lightning appeared above Giuseppe and pillars of lightning descended onto him.
Slice.
Giuseppe tried to slice the pillars of lightning apart but wasn't able to do so.
The pillars of lightning joined back immediately.
Bearing the pain, Giuseppe tried to run away from the pillars of lightning.
However, ice crystals appeared in the surroundings and the temperature dropped to sub-zero temperature.
Ice pillars rose from the ground.
"What are you!" Giuseppe shouted as he tried to pull his legs that were now frozen due to his contact with the ice pillars.
He had never seen anyone able to have so many abilities and so much energy to unleash them so many times.
If it was other awakened, they would've been exhausted by now.
Giuseppe got no answer and the pillars of lightning struck onto him.
Instantly, Giuseppe's movements got slow like Olivia.
All he could do now was watch his frozen body being devastated by the pillars of lightning.
It ripped his frozen body into small pieces as it ravaged through with the lightning.
Soon, all that Giuseppe could see was a total blank in his mind.
A familiar sound erupted in Lukas's mind.
[Ding!]
[Slaughter Points +1500]
[Current Slaughter Points: 21600/80000]
[Host Level: 8]
[Current Abilities: 8]
Lukas then turned his focus back to the Dark Lord.
The Dark Lord was still struggling to get away from Lukas's hold.
"Derrick, help me!"
Suddenly, the Dark Lord called out to someone.
Lukas glanced in the direction where the Dark Lord was calling out.
Sherry had appeared with another man by her side.
The man looked confused and worried.
He covered his mouth when he saw the carnage that was around him.
Bodies of soldiers, blood and innards with destroyed mecha units were all over in the surroundings.
"Derrick, it's me Matthew. Remember how I always protected you from Lawrence's bullying? Come and help me!" The Dark Lord saw Derrick's reaction, and he shouted again.
Derrick glanced back and forth at the Dark Lord and Sherry.
His mind was in a mess by what he had seen.
Matthew and Lawrence were good friends with him.
And Matthew had indeed always helped him whenever Lawrence tried to make him 'man' up.
What had happened between the two of them?
Derrick didn't know and was confused.
If only they had never gone on the tour, none of this would have happened.
All that Derrick wanted to do now was to go back to hibernation.
Getting away from everything.
But the Dark Lord wasn't about to let him do so.
"Derrick, look at me, see these wounds." The Dark Lord swung his arms around as he couldn't raise them, causing more of his blood to spurt out.
Derrick flinched from the sight.
He closed his eyes, raised his hand and pointed it in the direction of the Dark Lord.
Sherry cried out and shouted, "No! He is not the same Matthew that you knew anymore."
Simultaneously, she tried to use her ability on Derrick.
But she realized that she wasn't able to do so, the powers of the First Awakened were too much for her.
Lukas frowned and he tried to pull the Dark Lord away from where he was.
It was a tad too late.
A blinding flash of white glow filled the huge open area.
Miraculously, everyone felt their energy come back into them.
Wounds they had closed immediately.
Fractured bones also grew back in an instant.
The healing powers of Derrick made him feel like God to the other awakened.
Margaret's SSS Level Healing also paled in comparison.
With his energy and wounds healed, the Dark Lord finally broke free from Lukas's grip on the Dark Lord with his shadows.
Boom!
The Dark Lord didn't hesitate and lunged at Derrick.
"Why?" Derrick was confused when he saw the Dark Lord coming at him.
He couldn't comprehend what he was witnessing.
Sherry tried to use her ability on the Dark Lord but was also unsuccessful.
Thud.
The Dark Lord was knocked to his side by something.
It was Lukas's shadows that had separated from him and split into two.
Frustrated, the Dark Lord unleashed his dark glow at Derrick.
This time, Sherry pulled Derrick away without hesitation.
The Dark Glow brushed past Derrick's face as it missed.
Making Derrick know that he had to do something.
This Matthew standing in front of him was indeed different from the one he knew before.
But what could he do? Derrick thought to himself.
A dark glow came at him again.
Derrick held onto Sherry and leaped away.
"Yeah. Run away, that's all you know.
"Help me fight them.
"This time we have no other choice." The Dark Lord stretched out his hands at Derrick.
Derrick hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Matthew would never taunt me," he said and leaped further away with Sherry.
That angered the Dark Lord, and he gave out a roar.
The dark glow engulfing his body extended out into the surroundings, slowly forming a sphere.
The sphere enveloped everyone within it.
Lukas tried to use his shadows to stop the Dark Lord but realized that his energy was being drained quickly.
The sphere was sucking up the energy from everyone.
