Chapter 19 - Final battle (1/2)

Gruesome reaper/Squad leaders: WHO?

Oscar: Nothing, so are we going to stand around here all night or are we going to fight.

The two squadron leaders were baffled by what he said, but they still remained cautious as they still did not want to end up like their last useless and headless companion. They then looked each other in the eyes and seemed to come up with a plan, it seems only these two would be fighting me first.

Oscar: It's better if all of you came at me at one time

The two squadron leaders felt insulted as they did not like the idea of being looked down upon by anyone especially by a child, like Oscar. They ran to the opposite sides of Oscar and slowly approached him while preparing their strongest attacks as they knew Oscar was truly dangerous. Although their pride would not let them show it, they were both terrified of Oscar as he had just killed fifty of their men and still seemed to be full of energy. As well as the fact that the kid himself had 4 Spirit rings just as they did which made them fear him much more.

Gui: NOW!!

Both the men then jumped while Oscar just smiled and stayed where he was, he then activated his cloaks invisibility feature and then dodging their attacks. Both Gui and Fenghuang thought that Oscar's cloak was a treasure that only had a one-time use, but it seems that they were wrong. They then quickly went into a back to back defence position as their enemy is invisible and was now extremely dangerous. In fact, both the gruesome reaper and his first squadron leader were searching for Oscars presence as well just to make sure that he doesn't ambush them.

For the last few seconds all four of them were at the end of their wits, as they could not sense Oscar's presence or even see him. They heard Something drop in front of them, Fenghuang quickly sent an air slash towards the sounds direction. What they saw was just a couple of rats coming out of the darkness and eating the remains of the dead ȧssassins. They were disgusted but they still kept theirs guards up, all of a sudden, two bodies flew towards Gui at an incredible speed. Gui sent his wrecking ball to stop one of the bodies from coming closer while holding his shield to defend himself from the second one.

However, for him to do that, he needed to move slightly forward as to attack Oscar who he thought was in front of him. However, what he did not know was that he was not Oscar's target for the killing, but just those few seconds were enough for Oscar to throw two of his poisoned daggers at Fenghuang who was facing Gui's back. The daggers made their way towards Fenghuang but both were seen by him, he then sent a slash that was made of fire and air. However, were only slightly off target but they still fulfilled their purpose as they were now imbedded in Fenghuangs right thɨġh and left leg.

Fenghuang: AAAAHHH, GODDAMMMIT

Gui turned around only to see his partner now on the ground, with both of his feet injured he quickly turned his back in order to help him pull it out. However, Oscar did not miss this opportunity and sent two more poisoned daggers to the back of his neck, however before they could penetrate him it was blocked by a sword. It was the last but strongest squadron leader long the Azure dragon of the east, he released his spirit rings only to reveal 5 instead of 4. Oscar took one look at this man's spirit rings and he could tell that he was going to be a formidable opponent.

Long: Take that useless fool and heal him

Gui: Yes

Gui quickly took Fenghuang who was in excruciating pain to the side and began administrating any healing antidote he had on his legs as he that Oscar's daggers probably contained poison. But before he could, Oscar came out of the darkness and said something to them.

Oscar: It's useless

Gui/Fenghuang: Huh??

Oscar: You see the poison contained inside that dagger is from a toxic spirit beast called the ”Venomous purple bull frog”. You should know what that means right.

The four remaining people knew what a Venomous purple bull frog was since they were ȧssassins who at least had a considerable amount of knowledge about poison. This included spirit beasts that were considered poison types, and the Venomous purple bull frog was considered the 9th most poisonous creature on the battle continent. This was not only the most dangerous thing about it, the other two facts about it was that its poison found on its back could kill even a spirit douluo within 5 minutes. And it had only 3 known antidotes to stop its venom from quickly spreading and then destroying it completely however none of these people had any of those antidotes.

So, the only thing Fenghuang could do was wait for death, the remaining three knew what they had to do especially Gui.

Fenghuang: Brother Gui you can save me right

Gui did not respond instead he stood up and smashed Fenghuang's head into meat paste with his wrecking ball, he then looked at the lifeless corpse and began to speak.

Gui: I just did

Oscar felt torn by what he had just witnessed but he felt guilty knowing that it was him that killed Fenghuang not Gui. He then looked towards the three remaing ȧssassins and waited for the first one to make a move, unsurprisingly it was Gui as the giant was now angry at the loss of one of his own. He roared and swung his wrecking ball that contained violent spirit essence at Oscar, who quickly dodged under it and jumped towards him. As he was about to land on his head, Gui attacked with his shield, Oscar knew he could not dodge it but instead he punched it.

What happened next was a sight that made the enemies jaws drop, not only had Oscar actually punch Gui's shield but he also managed to push him ten steps backwards. Oscar was actually surprisesd since he had only tested his strength against rocks and spirit beasts, but he never once imagined that it would be too much for a human. He then quickly gained his confidence and made his way towards Gui who had yet to recover from his shock. As he had almost reached him the last squadron leader attacked him with sword full of spirit essence.

Oscar: SO, you're working together now

Long: It would seem so

Gui: Long what are you doing he is mine…I can take care of him myself

Long did not say anything yet, but he slowly rotated his head to face Gui and said 4 words while releasing his full pressure.
