NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89: Chess Battle IX
"I got You now." Tim said like a crazed psycho. This time even with the gaping hole in his chest that that made him loose blood like crazy, he still had a plan.
Although it was stupid of him to go for his sword in that manner when faced with a deadly sword Sage like Faye. Tim did had other backup plans.
His physical strength by default, was already in the 2 star warrior region, and that was one of his advantages that he had in the battle.
So, the moment Faye closed him on him and slammed her sword into his chest. Even with the massive amount of pain that he was feeling. He grabbed onto Faye tightly.
"You are crazy. Let me go" she yelled, but Tim had other plans.
He noticed that Zou had stopped his movements towards Tim, and he knew immediately that it was because he had Faye in his grip.
She tried hard to let go from Tim's grip, but she could not. Tim's hands were like the jaws of a predator that had locked on to its prey.
Thinking fast on her feet, She changed the approach that she was using to get out of Tim's grip. Instead of pulling out, she started trying to cause more damage with the sword.
PUICHH
Blood spilled once more from the hole in Tim's chest.
"Shit you fucker." Tim cursed, as he dragged her close and gave her a headbutt. Bam!
The shock and force of Tim's head strike stunned all her thinking.
Unfortunately, Tim was not done. He liked the thrill that he felt when he tried something like that. BAM BAM BAM BAM
Strike after strike, he slammed his head all the while grinning widely against Faye's head. At this point Faye had lost consciousness due to the blunt force trauma to her head.
"Stop doing that and face me like a man!" Zou yelled, as he swelled in anger when he noticed that Faye had lost consciousness. He wanted to strike Tim down, but he was scared that Tim would use Faye as a shield.
So, he hesitated.
"Ughh? I should fight like a man. I am ! Hahahah.
Don't you see the gaping hole in my chest? A man gives up with such a wound in his body, but not me I guess. The blood loss is manageable, but only a real man manages pain like this." Tim said.
Zou was still hesitant. Faye's head was bleeding seriously at the moment and he feared that if he did not make any move, she might die. He did not want to lose her.
But if he did, part of him would be satisfied because she sacrificed her life, so that Tim would be easy to kill. Because with the sounds that Tim had on him. Zou strongly doubted if Tim would survive the next 15 minutes.
But unfortunately for Zou. Tim had other plans. He would not have tried something so risky, if he did not have measures in place.
"She is so fickle and small. * Tim taunted, as he raised her unconscious bleeding head. * It is too bad that she tried to kill me. I even taught that she wanted to redeem herself when she wanted me to forget the grudge. *Tim said, as he looked at Zou in the eye. *
Too bad that I don't let beings that threaten my life go scot-free. I would have had mercy on her. Too bad." Tim said, as he snapped Faye's neck in a quick moment. Giving her a quick death.
[ Ding! Human killed]
[ +1000EXP]
[Bonus for killing a Level 21 Human -> 800EXP]
[Dead Summon available -> Human]
[Capacity Full!]
[Do you want to discard any undead?]
Tim read the notifications in under a second, and made his decision.
' Discard the last snow wolf, and replace it with her' Tim instructed, as he watched Faye's body and her sword disperse into smoke.
But the sudden change left Tim in immense pain. KEUGH!
He fell to his knees, as his blood started to gush out in volumes.
Zou was still visibly shocked with what he saw, which bought Tim the few seconds that he neede3d.
" Arise." Tim commanded with a bloody mouth. The instruction was sent directly to Faye in his reserve.
"Honestly, I just wanted to try this skill. Pain Swap" Tim said with a smile, as he casted his new skill.
Just like time had reversed. Tim's body immediately became whole again, and Faye that he had just newly summoned was now holding all the wounds and damage that he once bore.
Though she was reanimated thanks to Tim, but that did not last because she now also fell to her knees. She had a gaping hole in her chest and she was bleeding profusely.
Tim did not even spare her a pity glance, but Zou was in greater shock.
"How!" he yelled. He had witnessed Tim kill Faye. That alone was a serious shock to his mental state, but changed when he saw her reanimate out of Tim's shadows.
But even that did not last because, not even 5 seconds after she was reanimated, she was filled with a lot of wounds.
Wounds that were on Tim!
"What sort of magic is this! What have you done!" Zou yelled once more, as he accelerated towards Tim with force.
But this time, Tim was not ready to engage in battle yet. So, the 2 Mystic lions that had been on standby since the battle began interrupted Zou's crazed acceleration.
BAM!
Zou was smashed with an opposing force which sent him crashing against the ground.
The two Mystic Lions now stood in front of Tim.
"Magic you say? I don't think this is magic. I like it but at the same time I don't like it.
Zou the truth is that, I was gifted this blessing, or should I say that I selected this incredible power from a list of possible powers.
It is marvelous and all, but I don't trust it. In fact, I am beginning to have a love hate relationship with this, my power." Tim said, as he stretched and examined his body.
