280 Skill Mutation (1/2)
Outside the windstorm,
Before Darbaudr even enter the windstorm,
”How are you alive?” Ajax was shocked to see the middle-aged man's face for a chimera-like creature and asked.
According to him, the middle-aged man was dead and that was the reason why the old man came here to take revenge on him; however, he was shocked to see the middle-aged man's face.
”How am I alive? Damn you fool, can't you see in what form I am now?” the middle-aged man's face shouted angrily at Ajax.
”Even then, aren't you alive now?” Ajax shook his head looking at the creature.
”You don't understand, my father used his skills and temporarily fused me with this creature to see your ending with my own eyes before passing away from this world,” The human-faced creature said with hatred in its eyes and rushed at Ajax.
”Oh, so it is only a temporary thing for you to remain alive? Sigh...can't you see that we are in the winning position,” Ajax dodged the creature's attack and said while pointing his finger at the surroundings.
In the beginning, there were so many creatures that there was not even an inch gap between them; however, now there were only around half the number of the initially summoned creatures making the fight more relaxing for Ajax and his team.
With the addition of Darbaudr and Necros, the fight was being used by the young cultivators for their training.
”I don't care about anything, as long as I kill you, I will be happy to even lose my consciousness to this creature,” the middle-aged man's face said to Ajax as he began to do something with his eyes closed.
After hearing his words, Ajax understood that this middle-aged man was crazy about killing him even sacrificing his soul for it.
When his body was fused with the chimera-like creature and along with his father's years of expertise in handling these creatures, he was able to maintain his consciousness for a certain time.
But what he didn't understand was why would a father do a thing like this.
'Whatever, there are many crazy people in the world,' Ajax shook his head and rushed towards the creature to kill it before it could use any attack.
However, just as his sword was about to slash through the creature, it opened its eyes and released a poisonous gas through its mouth.
Seeing the dark green gas that was coming out of the middle-aged man's face, Ajax immediately stopped his attack and dodged sideward.
Even though he managed to dodge the poisonous gas in time, from the gas a thin spike came at a lightning speed and penetrated in his right hand which was covered with Demon claw.
As soon as it entered into his hand Ajax felt a pain that he made him fall on to the ground.
”Absolute Darkness,” as he was laughing at Ajax, he heard the word that he least wanted to hear from Ajax.
”How's it possible? I don't want those nightmares…..,” To his shock, Ajax stood up and smiled at the creature.
Before he could complete his sentence, he was hit by a dark light from Ajax and fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
'Why he was able to survive my attack, aarrghh,' Even amidst his screams, he continuously thought about how Ajax was still normal even after his spike entered into him.
”Thanks for the gift,” Ajax smilingly said at the creature that was rolling on the ground.
The reason he survived the attack was that before the spike could release any poison into his body it was absorbed by his 'Demon claw'.
