My King System

Chapter 99 - Thirst

As Yuki sprinted as if he was running for his life, he continued to pull out a potion before drinking it and repeating the process. By the time he was finished he had been a lot faster than when he started. In total, Yuki had consumed 4 speed boost potions, 2 defence boost potions, and 3 attack boost potions-making for a total of 9 potions which left him right below the maximum a person could consume without being punished by the system. 

Once Yuki had finished drinking his potion, he turned around to face Hades who was right behind him. With a quick leap in the air, Yuki brought down "Fallen angel of hell" towards Hades' head. Seeing this, Hades brought up his bident to block Yuki's attempted attack. The clash between their weapons seemed to go on for hours as none of them were going to lose control over the battle. 

Feeling bored of the stalemate, Yuki used "Fallen angel of hell" to push Hades' bident away instead of pushing it forward. In doing this, Yuki managed to propel himself towards Hades' head. With a swift spin, Yuki laughed a devastating kick to Hades' neck. However, it was stopped with a block from Hades' left forearm. 

Both of them seemed to not even be the least bit tired. Filled with vigor in both their eyes, they charged towards each other once more. Just like last time, once the stalemate had gone long enough, one of them pushed the other one back before charging at each other once more. 

"What's up with this guy? I've drunk as many potions as I could and I still can't beat him," said Yuki. 

"Wait, I forgot I had this," said Yuki.

Yuki managed to close his eyes and concentrated on flowing his stamina from his body into his blade as the current stalemate between him and Hades continued. "Fallen angel of hell" began to glow crimson red as its aura became more visible. The tides of the battle changed as Yuki began to push Hades even further back. Now that Yuki was getting more invested into the battle since he had just managed to see himself overpower his enemy, he pushed himself even further and inserted more of his stamina from his body into his blade. 

As a consequence, Yuki felt slightly dizzy as he began to breathe heavily. He had accidentally placed more stamina into his blade than he intended. However, thanks to that, the glass-like crimson red aura shell managed to form around "Fallen angel of hell". As such, Yuki was easily able to push Hades away. 

Although Yuki had managed to push Hades back, the ruler of the underworld wasn't going to back down that easily. In rage, Hades plunged his blade into the stage ground. Once inserted, Hades slightly twisted his bident and caused the ground which Yuki stood on to spit in half. 

Getting caught off guard, Yuki almost fell into the crack, however he managed to hold on to the edge of the crack. 

"This is bad. I won't become like those villains who get their hands stepped on and fall off a cliff," said Yuki as he quickly lifted himself up with his left hand since his right hand had been carrying "Fallen angel of hell".

Seeing Hades in front of him-ready for battle made Yuki's blood boil. It wasn't that Yuki was angry. On the contrary, Yuki was too excited like a kid on coffee. Yuki's eyes opened wide as his pupils became smaller to the point where they were just a dot. Yuki's breath grew more violent as if it was the breath of a tiger. Yuki dug his feet into the ground as he looked Hades in the eyes. The pure bloodlust that oozed from Yuki's body was enough to suffocate an army.

"I want him," said Yuki as he charged towards Hades at top speeds. His movements were nearly invisible as he blitzed through the air like a rocket ship. 

Hades managed to bring out his bident in front of Yuki to block the attack. However, Yuki didn't even perceive Hades as a threat anymore. Something had changed between the few moments where Yuki was about to fall into the crack which Hades had created and when Yuki managed to get out of there. 

Yuki realized that he wanted Hades in his collection of monster servants. He didn't care to what extent he had to go through. Yuki would go to any lengths to have Hades serve him. 

Seeing the bident in front of him, Yuki reached out to it with his left hand-twisting it out of Hades' hands and moving it out of the way before plunging "Fallen angel of hell" to Hades' side. 

"Where did this power come from?-" Hades asked.

However he would not receive a response from his enemy. Yuki's mind had gone completely blank. He looked to be so thirsty for murder. Hades, now on his knees look up at Yuki. However, this time he didn't see the same hopeful kid who wanted to battle him like a video game. There was just an evil figure with the strongest stench of pure death and evil.

Yuki looked down at Hades as his mouth opened gaping wide, drool flowing from it like water as if he was going to eat Hades at that moment. It was as if Hades was getting suffocated with just Yuki's presence until he realized something.

"So it wasn't him but you," said Hades just to be ignored once more. 

Yuki pulled out "Fallen angel of hell" from Hades' side and prepared to slice off Hades' head. However, before his attack could land, Hades raised both his palms upwards and grasped hold of the blade. In that mere moment, Hades leaped backwards before Yuki could push down on "Fallen angel of hell". 

"It won't be that easy to take me down," said Hades. 

Yuki looked as if he was going insane. There was nothing he wanted more in that moment than to kill. As his eyes swirled in confusion Yuki prepared to finish the battle.
