Chapter 345 Fates Gift Part 2 (2/2)

The guy with the shield ordered everyone to back off, and used his sword to slash. The beam of fire clashed with me, and pushed me back. I sustained some injuries, but I felt little pain. I gained back my footing, and continued forwards. Dozens of daggers suddenly appeared, and flew at the group. One of the soldiers was stunned, and forgot to dodge. My daggers pulverized him, and his barely intact lifeless body, fell to the ground.

Liana and the strongest soldier released their skills again. I countered that using my right hand, but this time the power behind those skills was much more severe. Liana was using my sword now, and the guard was using his full strength. I flew backwards, and took down a few of the trees down before I stopped. My right arm was wounded severely. It wasn't broken, but moving it was also difficult.

Liana exclaimed ”You… What are you? You are not Human! Kill him, before he gets away!”. I reached into my bag, and took out some Yellow Dust. They used Fire Element skills. This meant, they could ignite the Yellow Dust no problem. I wasn't after a huge explosion, but a distraction. With my hand full of Yellow Dust, I rushed at them again. The soldier pressed his shield onto the air, and a shockwave travelled towards me. He wanted to disrupt my movements again, but this time through the air.

I crouched down, and launched myself forwards. I was flying at them, only a few millimetres off the ground. I could feel some aftereffect of that shockwave, but it didn't affect me much. The shockwave missed, while I arrived in front of the group again. With a tap on the ground, I shot upwards. While I was falling down, I waited for him to use that Fire Element skill again. He didn't disappoint me. When I was about to arrive, he released that skill.

I couldn't dodge, but I didn't have to. I released the handful of Yellow Dust into the blazing snake like beam of light. ”Boom!”, a small explosion changed my trajectory, and made my spin. This was something, they couldn't predict. I spun past the attack, and landed in front of the soldier. With a ”RAAAHH!”, I managed to extend my right hand, and grabbed his neck.

”Die”. With my ice powers released to the max, he began freezing. Suddenly, something hit my back, and I flew to the side from the impact. I grunted as I hit the ground. There was a large cut on my back, probably from my own sword. 'He is dead anyway' I thought, and felt that my energy was disappearing. I also heard Liana shout ”Eres!, Eres!”.

I laughed, and said ”Hahaha… Cough…. Cough… He is dead”. I could feel someone approaching me. Suddenly, something slashed at my back again. ”Argh!”, I exclaimed from the pain. Then another, and one more. I screamed from the pain, but I couldn't move anymore. I was spent. All my energy was gone.

Liana picked me up, to face her. She said ”I will torture you to death!”. She threw me upwards, and slashed at my chest. Two deep wounds were engraved on my chest. One horizontally, and the other vertically. I smashed into the tree with another grunt, and laid there motionless. I didn't think about my end anymore. Maybe dying was not such a bad idea. The world was corrupted, you could barely trust someone. Even friends could backstab you. Even people you saved, could sell you out. People you loved, abandon you.

I laid there with my eyes closed, and a smile on my face. This was the end, I could only await my death. 'Dina passed away with a smile, I should as well... Sorry Nick, it seems I will not achieve big things' I thought. I tried recalling the good times. People I met, who were worthy to be called my friends. Shelly, who gave its life in exchange for mine. 'Frosty…'. As I thought up to here, I heard some screams, and then someone grabbed me.

'The end eh? I had a good run, for all it's worth' I thought. But the final attack never came, I was being moved somewhere. 'Are they planning on taking me alive?' I thought. I tried opening my eyes, but I couldn't. I was too tired, I wanted to sleep…
