Chapter 20 - Cliff (1/2)
Gruesome reaper: Fine kid but let's just end this in one shot since I don't like prolonging a fight
Oscar: Sure
The gruesome reaper then took his stance and held his sword with his right hand and his left on his scabbard. From Oscar's point of view, it looked like a traditional samurai stance, but what he did not know was that the Gruesome reaper had a poison needle implanted into scabbard which he planned to use. 2 minutes later they were both finally ready and were waiting for the first one to make a move, everything was silent and conspicuous for only the two of them.
Oscar finally made his attack and ran towards the gruesome reaper with all of his speed, while the gruesome reaper followed. Their two attacks collided against each other with enough force that it shook the entire building. The gruesome reaper knew that Oscar was in fact stronger than he was, so he decided to use his fourth spirit rings ability that flashed a bright light, which blinded Oscar.
He then quickly used his fifth spirit rings ability to coat the needle he had with poison, after he had done so he quickly pierced Oscar's ċhėst with it. His plan had worked so far, so he decided to use his third spirit ring ability to help him create a burst of spirit essence that will push an enemy away while stunning them in the process.
Oscar flew across the room and crashed into the walls and embedding himself in it once again, the gruesome reaper was exhausted since using all three of spirit rings ability costed him a great amount of spirit essence. However before he could celebrate his victory he felt pain coming from his leg, he looked at his left leg and saw a dagger embedded in his thɨġh.
He was terrified and took out every antidote he had on him now and drank it; he then held the dagger and pulled it out. He was shocked and wondered how Oscar even managed to stab him with it while he was blind, but he was no longer worried since he thought Oscar was probably dead. However just when he had a breath of relief he suddenly heard Oscar laughing from the rubble and hole he was in.
Gruesome reaper: You are still alive
Oscar: Yeah and just so, you know you are about to die from my poison
Gruesome reaper: What do you mean?
Oscar: Hmm… well since you are about to die I'll tell you
Gruesome reaper suddenly felt pain flaring up from his stomach, which then made him puke out blood from his mouth. He then felt the pain becoming colder instead; he then felt a numbing sensation traveling from his legs towards his back. He then looked at Oscar and wanted to ask him what the poison was…
Oscar: Dual elemental viper
The gruesome reaper knew the name of the 4th most poisonous creature of the battle continent
Gruesome reaper: Hahahaha… so it seems we will both be dying tonight huh?
Gruesome reaper: You might not know this, but I embedded a needle into your ċhėst that was coated by my poison, sure it might not be as potent as yours, but you will be dying shortly after me if you don't get the specific antidote made to counter it.
Oscar: Oh, you meant this needle
Oscar said as he showed a bent up small piece of metal that looked more like a fish hook instead of a needle.
Gruesome: What!!
The gruesome reaper said as he puked a mouthful of blood from shock and probably the poison
Oscar: Yeah it actually managed to pierce my skin just a little bit
Gruesome reaper: Hahaha… that's all it takes for its poison to take effect
Oscar: Oh, really well then, I'll counter with my own antidote
The gruesome reapers face lost all colours when he heard Oscar say that, but then he saw Oscar performing another hand technique which then produced a sausage with a whitish colour.
Oscar: Oh, you might not know this, but it can actually heal up to 80% of any damage and restoring 80 % my health as well, while curing me of any poison.
Gruesome reaper: Hahaha you're bluf-
But before he could finish his sentence he then saw Oscar eating the sausage he had in his hands, he then saw that Oscar no longer looked as tired as he was before and in fact looked even stronger and revitalized.
Gruesome reaper: No… No… NNOOOO… haah… haaah… kid before I die tell me what auxiliary type are you
Oscar: An auxiliary food support type
Gruesome reaper: Dammit just let me die already I can't handle this much shock, first you have the rank of a spirit ancestor, you then kill of my men and defeated me, and now you're telling me you did it when you are only an auxiliary food support type. Haah… haaah… I guess this is how I go after all I have done, so I guess this is the end.
Oscar: Yes, I guess this is the end
Gruesome reaper: I hope you reach the peak of this world… Oscar
He said as he closed his eyes and fading away into the cold and silence of the night, Oscar then sat facing the gruesome reapers body.
Oscar then gathered all of the ȧssassin's bodies into one place and burned their bodies with oil and fire, after leaving the building and walking back to the location of the two remaining ȧssassins who were now awake and had their mouths untied. He then made his way towards them but before he got closer to them they shouted at Oscar.
Assassin #1: Hey kid… yeah you get over here and untie us
Assassin #2: Yeah hurry up don't you know who we are… we are the subordinates of the Gruesome reaper, if you don't help us you'll be dead before you know it.
Oscar stopped and realized that they were unconscious the entire time he was fighting the gruesome reaper and his men. But the two ȧssassins misread this and thought that Oscar was now afraid of offending them, so they became arrogant and began demanding him to help.
Assassin #1: Ok get over here ad untie us
Oscar then untied both of them, but before he could say anything the first ȧssassin that he had had untied was now lifting him up by his collar and looking at him in the eyes.
