Chapter 199: Aura Blocker and Kill

"PHASE SHIFT… MOONLIGHT SLASH!" Akira used [Phase Shift], which changed the shape of the surrounding moon, making it go from a half-moon to a full moon again, and also making it more powerful in the process.

Also, he began to hold his katana with his two hands instead of only using one.

…

[Skill: Phase Shift]

[Rank: Legendary]

[Description: Just as phases of the moon go by, your attitude and techniques must shift as well, this skill allows the user to change his combat method between two current styles (more will appear after level up)]

…

The second style was like this: more powerful attacks, but reducing speed slightly as he was now holding his weapon with two hands.

It was something he used when he was confident he would be able to kill his enemy in one blow, or wanted to make sure the damage would be enough.

And in that case, he truly wanted to cause the maximum amount of damage to Stark for annoying him so much.

"STOP SMILING, ASSHOLE," he swung down at Stark using his new technique, as well as [Moonlight Slash].

And as for Kokoro…

"Rune Engraving… Quick Hands!" she engraved some sort of weird rune on the back of her tablet, it was the drawing of lightning bolt, then regrouped the giant glitchy hands from [Quick Hands], which were still active, and got ready to squash Stark in a smash-like attack.

~ZAP, ZAP~

The giant hands had an electric aura around them, and would zap anyone who even went as much as grazed them, this was the power of the runes.

…

[Skill: Rune Engraving]

[Rank: Legendary]

[Description: Engrave one of the three available runes at the back of your tablet: lightning, fire, water, and your attacks will be enhanced by the corresponding element related to that rune, you will unlock more runes as you level this skill up!]

…

And so… both attacks were now coming at Stark, who couldn't avoid or use any skill since his aura had been blocked by [Aura Blocker], transforming him into somewhat of a normal human being.

"I shall accept this…" he mumbled as he looked down, a wide smile on his face, opening only one of his eyes, his pupils staring intently at the two as their attacks were mere centimeters away from hitting him.

~BOOM, ZAP, SLASH~

The room around them began to shake as the electricity from Kokoro's rune engraver mixed with Akira's powerful lunar slash hit the ground.

"Finally…" Akira fell on one knee, breathing in and out repeatedly: he had used too much power for this simple guy, and although he could keep going for long, he still wanted to rest.

"…" Kokoro didn't say anything, she was thankful for Akira for saving her, but that was all, nothing more, nothing less, and so all she wanted was to reach the warden and get out of this place.

"This should be enough, the aura blocker should be deactivated by now," Akira looked at the object in his hand, it was a device with a small screen and a red button under it, some sort of antenna at the top you use to point at the target.

And so once he opened the item panel…

[12 seconds left for 'Aura Blocker']

"Huh? What the fuck…?" he loudly spoke, at least loud enough for Kokoro to hear as she approached him.

"…?" she titled her head.

"No… but if someone is dead… then the 'Aura Blocker' should be deactivated as there is no aura to begin with…" he was holding his chin with his hand, mumbling something to himself.

[6 seconds left for 'Aura Blocker']

~TAP, TAP~

"What does that mean," Kokoro tapped some words on her tablet, and the blue screen displayed what she wrote.

"It means…" Akira became to sweat profusely, "It means…" he repeated, holding his forehead and gritting his teeth as he looked up, "It means he is alive…"

Kokoro's eyes widened, and she began to look around.

If he was alive, then where could he be?

They killed his clone, then immediately aimed for him as he was under the usage of [Aura Blocker], so how could this kid survive…?

Kokoro turned around, looking behind them, and thus, she got her answer: the clone had never died to begin with.

As stated before, it used [Dodge Control] the moment the bubble of [Celestial Sanctuary] popped, meaning that even though both Akira and Kokoro teamed up on it, it would still be able to dodge everything as someone using [Dodge Control] could NEVER be hit.

Right after quite literally teleporting away because of the explosion, Stark's clone immediately noticed that the two used a reward item to block Stark's aura and dashed in his direction.

To be honest, wasn't it weird that even though Stark's aura was stopped, the clone was still there?

Wasn't he made out of Stark's aura after all? So how… was it possible…?

Maybe… heh, it didn't matter.

All that it knew was that it could still move, and that it would have to do everything to protect the original.

"FOCUS… EYES VISION," it slowed down time, and that was something Stark noticed too since he himself was now affected by it, meaning that for three seconds, he saw the figures of Akira and Kokoro at 0.25 speed in front of him.

"CRIMSON BALL TRANSMISSION!" it summoned the ball in hand and placed it in the spot it was in.

[Target point set!]

It focused everything it had in its legs, then… it dashed toward Stark at incredible speed.

~FWISH…FWISH… FWIIISHHH~

In a fraction of a second it was alright beside Stark while Akira and Kokoro were now mere centimeters away from killing the weakened Stark.

And so…

~SNAP~

~BOOM~

Stark's clone held onto him from behind so quickly it was invisible even for the other [Domination] users.

Then… it snapped its fingers while holding him, both of them INSTANTLY teleporting to the target point of [Crimson Ball Transmission].

And so just like that, Stark was able to avoid the explosion and powerful attacks that shook the very hallway they were in.

[Aura Blocker has been deactivated, 30 seconds have passed!]

Stark was able to get his aura back the moment the other two figured out what was happening.

"…"

"…"

Akira and Kokoro were speechless as they saw the figures of both Stark and his clone looking back at them, the smiles on their faces still there, haunting them forever.

~TAP, TAP~

The first to act was Kokoro as she tapped on her tablet.

"M-Maybe we should just try to find the key and fight the warden together…" she began, "I mean, I did see that you had the [Key Location Map], so it's definitely possible…"

She was tired of fighting and attacking just for Stark to avoid everything and somehow living through it all.

But… Akira wasn't of the same opinion, he truly wanted to kill Stark, and the more time the boy spent avoiding his attacks and mocking him, the more he truly wanted to see him in pain.

"You want to give up?" he turned his head toward Kokoro, his expression darkening, "Well…" he raised his blade, "I guess you are useless now."

~SLASH~

Kokoro already had low HP from Stark's previous attacks, and so that slash from Akira…

"-12426!"

[Kokoro HP: 0/49250]

It killed her.

[A participant has been slain by another player!]
