Chapter 115 - 115: Blooming Rage & Hatred. (1/2)

”Who is…? Isn't he the guy that looked as if he was dead?!”

A mark could be seen on the middle of his forehead. It resembled a maze, a glowing puzzle of some sorts which was constantly shifting

The king reflexively stepped back, stepping on top of Lara's head.

The moment he did that, his eyes widened as a fist appeared before him.

*BAM!*

The fist landed cleanly in the King's face, caving it in as Air burst through it.

The king crashed into the boat's staircase.

[Pause Level ???: Incomplete Time Stop.]

[Warning: Using this so soon after evolving may contain permanent side effects. It is advised that-]

”Shut up.” Said Gray.

[…]

Gray dropped down to his knees, before inspecting everyone.

They were covered in physical injuries. It was clear that they were beat up repeatedly.

Maybe it was to enjoy it before finishing them off.

He stopped ahead of the three who were impaled. He could see it clearly, the expression they were making.

[Warning: Those spears contain a minor curse of death. With each stab there is a small chance that the person stabbed may die.]

[The more stabs, the stronger the effect. Although it requires to be stabbed a certain amount of times, death is guaranteed. It may lead to excessive blood-loss however it's most likely best to remove them.]

[15 seconds left of the incomplete time stop.]

Upon hearing this, Gray grabbed the spear. His hands, began to burn as he pulled them out of each of them individually.

He quickly grabbed Ruby and dragged her ahead of the three, before grabbing Lara and doing the same.

[10 seconds left.]

Gray turned to the staircase where the King was, the look for surprise in the King's face changed into a smile, as he burst out laughing.

”Even if you remove the spears, they'll bleed out! I don't know how your ability worked however, none of their healing abilities will work within this dimension I've created.”

The King continued to laugh.

He turned back to the three ahead of him, before swiping his finger up and down repeatedly.

'What is he doing?'

Four flasks containing a strange liquid suddenly manifested above his hands.

'Don't tell me that's a… Potion!?'

Gray had not heard a single word he had said.

His expression was emotionless when he had stared at the King.

Through his mind he could hear but a single thought.

And it was what the most painful way to kill him could be.

[Time resumed.]

Everyone's eyes widened as Gray's figure appeared before them.

The tears grew stronger, as their eyes swelled up and noses reddened.

”G-Gray... *Cough*” Aurora cried out.

Ruby turned to her father who gradually approached them.

The three's vision grew blurry, as they felt a surge of pain travel through their backs.

*Cough*

Their coughs grew more frequent as they began to cough up blood.

They wanted to speak and call out his name but they physically couldn't.

Mid cough. Gray popped open the three options and forced it into their mouths.

He watched closely, as the liquid went down their throats.

They could feel themselves getting better with every drop.

The hole on their back was also closing at a visibly fast rate.

The first thing they noticed after seeing him however, was the expression on his face.

They couldn't see it clearly, it was if a shadow covered it.

They could only see a strange pattern on his forehead, glowing a golden colour as it moved on it's own.
